Chapter 12
Bella's POV
Today was Wednesday and I had a gig tonight. Angela was coming again.
We were currently in Art.
"Hey did you hear about Edward"
I snapped the paint brush and Angela looked at me funny
"No what happened" I closed my eyes and spoke, I didn't want to remember what happened the other day, I hadn't seen Edward for the past couple of days, he hadn't been in Bio.
"O, well Lauren was all sucking up to him and he turned her down he told her he, get this he wasn't a player anymore"
My head shot up in shock I could practically feel my eyes full out of there sockets nearly "What"?
"I know, apparently he's told the boys and everything the girls have tried to seduce him back into it but he keeps on turning them down"
Whoa, that was different.
The bell rang and it was now lunch.
We were getting into the car
"Bella?" I turned to see a nervous looking Edward, he looked different, he hadn't shaved, his hair spiking to different sides. I hadn't seen Edward like this before, was this the same top boy player? "I was just wondering if I could….em….come to lunch with you both?"
I looked towards Angela and even though she was sporting the shocked look she gave me 'I told you he's changed' look
"Sure" I said, putting to one side the fact he annoyingly pissed me off. He smiled a genuine smile at me.
He got in the back seat and I saw Jessica look at us, but when she realized I saw her she ran away, I rolled my eyes.
"O Ben's coming" Angela told me with a smile
"Ooooo I get to meet him finally"
"Shut up…o here he comes" she greeted him by opening her door and hugging him, I looked back to Edward who looked, am I eyes deceiving me….uncomfortable.
"Hey" he looked at me "You alright?" he nodded with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes
"Ange?"
"Yes?"
"I'll sit in the back so Ben can sit next to you"
She mimed a thank you to me and I rolled my eyes again. I climbed over and nearly fell but Edward caught me on my ribs, I would have pulled back after he steadied me but his touch felt different this time. He took them back
"Sorry" he chuckled lightly
"It's ok"
"So when's your next concert Bella?" Ben asked
"Tonight"
We were half way there already and I opened my window, letting the cool air hit me, I stuck my hand out and started to do a wave pattern. I relaxed my hand and looked at Edward. He was looking at me strangely and he smiled, as did I, I blushed and turned away.
"Here we are" Angela said
we got out and walked in.
"Hi can I help you?"
"Yes could we have three big Mac's with large fries and 3 giants cokes Edward, do you want the same?" Ben asked
"Sure"
"Make that four lots please?"
"Sure, anything else?" the man asked
"No thanks" Ben smiled and handed over the money while we waited for our lunch we started talking.
2Hey you know what would be good?" Angela said as she finished her burger "A road trip"
"Where?" I asked
"Not sure, just summer breaks coming soon" she shrugged I nodded while sipping my coke
"That sounds nice, but not the first week, I want to spend that with my dad"
"Cool" Ben replied
I noticed Edward didn't mention anything he just eat his food. I would ask him later if he wants to some.
We were in the car; Ben was driving this time, while Angela had a rest from the food.
"Hey" I whispered over to Edward, he looked at me "You sure you're ok?"
He nodded "I'm fine really" he gave me a small smile,
We were passing the forest far pass the school or my home
"Hey could you pull over please" Edward asked
"Sure, what's up?" Ben pulled over
"Em…I sort of would like to talk to Bella" he scratched his neck, I saw Angela look at me.
"Sure" I said climbing out "Tell the teacher I was sick or something"
She nodded. They drove off and left me with Edward, the already dark sun was dimming.
"Come on" he had his hand out. I pursed my lips. He put it back down to his side and then his pocket I walked up to him.
He began to walk beside me, leading us to the spring which we hung our feet over as we sat down.
"Em, Bella I want to tell you how sorry I am"
"Edward I …"
"No please" he put his hand up and faced me "Please can I finish?"
I nodded
"Bella, what I did was inexcusable, I should have never kissed you against your will that was wrong, ride and ungentlemen of me" he took my hands in his "The truth is Bella, I like you a lot" he looked at me, and I took an intake of breath "And I want to change for you, I don't want to be the player anymore, I'm not saying because of this we should be together like a couple but Bella, I would like to start being a true friend to you"
I sat there stunned. Edward had changed for me, he liked me a lot.
"How do I know you won't rebel"?
"I won't" he promised
I nodded and smiled "I would like it if we could be friends"
He smiled brightly, this was the first time I had seen him smile a true smile, not a cocky one or a smirk a true genuine smile.
"Thank you, could I hug you?"
I laughed and leaned over to wrap my arms around him. He relaxed into the hug and held my waist. My head was on his shoulder while his was on the side of my neck
"Your amazing Bella" he chuckled "No girl could put up with this crap and want to be friends"
I pulled back and smiled "As I said before I'm not like most girls"
He laughed "That you aren't" he looked at his watch "There's a good 2 hours of school left"
"So tempting" I sighed dramatically
"Or we could learn about each other" he suggested
"Good" I crossed my legs towards him Indian style and we started to talk.
I learnt his full name was Edward Anthony Masen Cullen, his parents were extremely ill and died when he was young, there friends Carlisle and Esme were close to them and they were the guardians that his parents sighed for me to go to them if anything happened to them.
"What's with the tattoo?" I asked
"It's a reminder of my parents, each wing represents them" we were lying down on our sides looking at each other "Do you have any tattoos?" he asked
I nodded "One" I lifted my shirt up slightly to let him see the black printed cross which was on my right hip.
"What does it mean to you?" he asked, his finger went to touch it but he pulled back.
"You can touch it if you want?" I chuckled, he smiled and traced the out line of it "a person close to me is dead and this cross is a representation of him, I know it's very morbid but I used to want cross to represent each family who have passed away in my life"
"Who was it?" he asked
"Pete"
"Boyfriend?" he asked still tracing the cross I nodded "When did he die?"
"5 weeks ago"
"I'm sorry, and I did that the other night"
"Its fine Edward" I reassured him "Can I say something though"
"Yes"
"Well first how much do you like me, as in a friend or more than a friend?"
He gulped "More than"
I nodded "Then you deserve to know something" he furrowed his eyebrows. "Stay calm ok, and keep this to yourself" he nodded "Promise" he did the cross my heart and locked his mouth, I smiled slightly, "I'm pregnant with Pete's child"
He looked taken back
"Y-your pregnant?" he asked, I nodded "Whoa, I wasn't expecting that" he admitted, he looked at me and caressed my cheek "I'll be still here Bella, friend and all and I promise I won't say a word to anyone if I let it slip you can castrate my balls and I won't whine"
I laughed.
"You're really fine with this?"
"Of course" he shrugged "I mean I'm jealous as hell and angry"
"So your not ok with this" I sighed as did he
"I'm in the middle" he replied
I nodded
"Come on, it's 4:00"
"Shit my dad's going to go mental" I jumped up and he followed me.
Edward's POV
I walked to school and got in my car. So Bella was pregnant. I admitted to her I was jealous and anger. Because I wanted to be her first, ironic seeing as I had nearly ever girl in school.
I would be there for Bella; I wouldn't push her I would be her friend and only her friend.
I heard my phone buzz and saw Lauren number I didn't bother opening it I opened and closed it to cancel the call. Bella was the girl I would concentrate now. She was trusting me and liking me now, the way she seemed so relax around me she had never been that before, she was always tensed and annoyed, who could blame her.
As wee were to her house she asked me about the road trip, if it went ahead would I go with her, I said yes obviously but I wanted to make sure I wouldn't be interfering, she said "Go back to confident Edward your coming" I smiled at the memory, I was shy, Bella has changed me, but it's going to be hard in some points.
I had to update my grades just in case Bella wanted to go to a higher college I would be there with her.
She had invited me to her concert tonight and again I said yes. She reminded me to dress normally and I pretended to glare.
That night Bella had text me saying to pick her up seeing as Angela was rising with Ben.
I had parked along her street and waited for her to come out. I saw the light go on and Bella stepped out in tight black trousers her hair was down and spiked and she wore a white top which had 'riot' written on it.
"Hey" she said sitting in the car.
"Hey you look beautiful" I started the car and drove off
"It's just jeans and a top" she chuckled "You on the other hand"
"I know, I'm gorgeous" I said stoking my hair
"Ah, there's the cocky Edward"
We laughed and she turned up the radio channel I was listing to
"You like Debussy?"
"Clair De Lune really" she admitted.
We arrived at Eclipse and saw Angela and Ben waiting by the door.
"You ready" I saw a man ask her as she approached backstage with us following
"Yep"
she walked on stage and everyone applauded
"Hey everyone" she smiled brightly "This song is called Decoy"
Close you eyes and make me believe
This is where you wana be
Forgetting all the memories
Try to forget love 'cause loves forgotten me
Well hey, hey baby it's never too late
Pretty soon you won't remember a thing
And I'll be distant as stars
Reminiscing your heart been wasted on me
Oh ooh oh oh oh ohh oh…
The crowd went wild
You've never be so used
As I'm using you abusing you, my little Decoy
Don't look so blue you should've seen right though
I'm using you my little Decoy
My little Decoy
The crowd sang along with her
"It's amazing isn't it?" Angela shouted over the music
Me and Ben nodded and we all looked back to Bella
Live your life inside a dream
Time is changing everything
Forgetting all the memories
And I'm forced into you
Just 'cause your into me
Well hey, hey baby it's never to late
When I'm gone you won't remember a thing
But I can't stay and no I won't wait
I was gone from the very first day
Oh ooh oh oh oh ohh oh…
"Sing along" Bella shouted
You've never be so used
As I'm using you abusing you, my little Decoy
Don't look so blue you should've seen right though
I'm using you my little Decoy
My little Decoy
Oh…ohh…I'm not sorry at all…
(Not sorry at all)
I won't be sorry at all
(Not sorry at all)
I'd do it over again
She started to clap her hands with the music and the crowd copied her
Don't look so blue my little Decoy
You should've seen right though my little Decoy
You've never been so used my little Decoy
As I'm using you my little Decoy
Bella finished and the crowd cheered and screamed for more. I smiled at how happy she looked. I was truly and defiantly in love with Bella Swan.
