Chapter 12
Authors Note: Thank you all once again! Here it is!
BPOV
I awoke at about seven in the morning, I was excited for Edward to come home. He was away for the night because of his job. But I hope that doesn't happen often. I slowly got out of bed and put on one of Edwards tee shirts and went to get coffee downstairs.
While I got the coffee pot out I thought about how when I first moved in I barely knew where anything such as a coffee maker was but now that's its been a couple months I knew where things were better than Edward.
I had my mug of coffee in one hand and a piece of toast in the other. I went to get my laptop and check to see if I had emails. Surprisingly I had 3, 2 of which were spam. But one was from an email I assumed to be Edwards sister in law Alice. I opened it and could tell she wrote me a book, so I started to read it.
"Hi Bella! It's Alice, I asked Edward for your email last night. The reason I am emailing you instead of calling or texting is because I don't want Edward to know what we are talking about. Well I am dragging on but I will start from the beginning. Last night I was in your town looking for a new boutique because my friend Irina said it had a lot of cute clothes and I realized I needed or I could say wanted a new dress. Well, as I was in town I saw you! But you were with someone or I would have said hi.. You were with a guy and I was wondering who it was because if you were cheating on Edward (not saying you are) I would have to tell Edward so I decided to find out the real story befire I opened my mouth. And no Jasper does not know that I saw you last night of Edward would know you were out with a boy. I know I am rambling so if you could email me back telling me the story I won't have to worry any longer. I don't want Edward to loose you because I already think of you as my sister! Speaking of we need to go shopping soon so hope to hear back from you! -Alice"
Oh my. Were the only words I thought of. Before she got any ideas, I emailed her back.
"Alice Hi! Its nice to hear from you. To clear the air I went to the movies with my best friend Jake. He is like a brother to me and nothing more. I know you were not accusing me of cheating but I just want to let you know I would never do that to Edward ever. I am very much in love with him and I don't think anything will change that. As for the shopping we do need to go soon! I will call you with plans! But Jake is my best friend, family friend, almost my brother. So no worries! Thanks for your concern though it means a lot! - Bella"
I emailed her back. I had to. I don't want her thinking I'm cheating or worse tell Jasper she thinks I'm cheating and have him tell Edward I am! But no worries anymore so I finished my breakfast and took my shower to get myself together for the day.
Edward arrived home at ten on the dot! He was always punctual. One more quality I loved about him.
"Bella I missed you. Spending the night in a bed by myself didn't feel right." Edward said as we hugged for a minute.
"I know how you feel. Sleeping with your arms not around me made me toss and turn all night!" I said as we kissed.
"The trial went very well! But I am more excited to hear about your day away from me!" Edward said all excited. Which was odd because he is not usually this chipper in the morning.
"Well your all happy this morning!" I said as we went to the bar in the kitchen.
"Honestly Bella I'm just glad to be back home. I hate going away on business, especially over night." Edward admitted.
"Well I am glad your back!" I said. Smiling like a moron.
"So how was yesterday?" Edward asked. I will tell him about the movies it's now or never.
"It was nothing special. I went shopping for food, and such. Then I settled down and relaxed, read a book. Then during the evening I went to the movies with my friend Jake, we haven't seen each other in a while it was nice to catch up!" I said as I looked up to see Edward staring back at me with a blank expression on hi face.
"You what?" Edward asked quietly.
"I went to the movies.." I said trailing off.
"With Jake?" He asked again.
"Yes he is my best friend. I have mentioned him before haven't I?" I asked.
"No, Isabella you didn't.." He said
"Why would you go on a date with another guy? When I am your BOYFRIEND." Edward said stressing the word at the end.
"Whoa Edward, relax. It wasn't a date we went to the movies and got a sandwich after." I said trying to calm him down. He was royally pissed.
"Well the movies and going out to eat sounds a lot like a date to me! Fuck Bella! You obviously planned on going to the movies why did you keep it a secret from me?" Edward yelled. I swear the bears in the woods out back could hear him.
"Edward seriously calm the fuck down! It wasn't a date he is like a brother to me. And we went out to eat after because it was late and neither of us have had supper. And I know you don't like it when I skip meals." I said, Edward looked a little calmer. But he was still clearly pissed.
"Okay, one watch the language. And two don't change the subject.." He said
"You still kept it from me! How long did you have these plan anyways?" Edward asked.
"I don't know. He asked me to go on Christmas day and we made plans from there." I said
"Are you serious? Bella that's at least one week. ONE WEEK! You had plans with him for that long and you didn't tell me?" he said getting madder.
"Yes I did! It slipped my mind everyone forgets things once in a while Edward. I;m not perfect." I said.
"I know your not perfect. Nobody is. But I want to know why you were so secretive about it! Do you have any feelings for him what so ever?" Edward asked.
"What? No! Edward he is seriously like a brother to me. Nothing more! I don't understand why your so mad.." I said.
"You don't understand? I told you five times already. YOU KEPT IT A SECRET!" He yelled.
"I told you I didn't mean to.." I said back.
"You know what, I can't even look at you right now. I'm going to my office. Don't bother me." he said as he left.
He just left me there. In the kitchen speechless. I didn't know how to react. So I sat down and thought. I didn't mean to not tell him. It was a movie with Jake, my best friend… and Edward is mad. I have never seen him this mad before. He told me not to bother him. He's in his office pissed because of me. At that point I started bawling on the kitchen countertop. After a few minutes I realized I shouldn't be crying so I grabbed my phone and my keys and left.
I don't know where I am going to go. I just need to calm down and clear my head. So I took a drive. All the thinking I was doing made me want to vent, so after careful thinking I decided to go see Jake. Yes, the reason Edward was mad. But I needed to vent and who better than my best friend?
Soon enough I arrived at the reservation. I pulled up to Jakes house and found him in the garage.
"Hey Belly! What's up?" He asked coming over to me.
"Edward.. He got mad." I said as I looked up at him ready to cry.
"Come here, why is he so mad?" Jake asked giving me a hug.
"I don't even know. I told him that we went to the movies and he lost it. I don't understand it wasn't a date or anything." I said.
"Really?" Jake asked.
"Yes, he told me he was going in his office and not to bother him." I said
"What a douche. We were just hanging out. Want me to talk to him?" Jake said.
"No that's okay. That would make it worse." I said
"Okay if your sure. Just let him calm down. And he can realize he's being stupid." Jake said.
"I hope!" I aid as my phone started vibrating. I looked at it and it was Edward.
"It's Edward, I'll be right back." I said as I walked away to have privacy.
"Hello." I said as I answered.
"Isabella where the fuck are you? And why didn't you tell me you were leaving?" Edward asked.
"You told me not to bother you.." I said.
"And where are you?.." Edward asked.
"At Jakes, I needed to vent on how much of an asshole your being." I said honestly.
"Your at Jakes? The whole reason we are arguing? Damn it Bella are you trying to ruin us?" Edward asked.
"No I am not. But you being an ass all the time and getting mad over dumb shit will ruin us! So ask yourself that question!" I said as I hung up. I sat down in the grass and started to cry. Why would I ruin us? I love him more than he would ever know.
As soon as Jake heard me he came running over.
"Hey what's wrong now?" He asked
"Still Edward. I told him I was over here and I quote he said 'Your at Jakes? The whole reason we are arguing? Damn it Bella are you trying to ruin us?' and I told him I wasn't but if he keeps being an ass and getting mad over stupid shit that it will. And at that I hung up." I said still crying.
Jake didn't say anything he just hugged me and let me cry. My phone started vibrating again. I ignored the call because I knew it was Edward. Until I know he will apologize I'm not answering the phone. I did this three more times until Jake asked.
"Do you want me to tell him to stop calling?"
"No, I'll answer next time." I said.
Sure enough the phone vibrated again in the next 2 minutes.
"Hello." I said.
"Don't you EVER hang up on me again! And get your ass home so we cant talk about this!" Edward said.
"No, because if I come home. We are going to continue arguing over this and for no reason!" I said.
"Come home now." Edward said as he hung up.
"Jake, I'm going back home to Edward I just want this fight over and done with." I said.
"Okay Bell, Come back if you need to, I'm always here." Jake said after one last hug.
"Thanks Jake, Love you. I'll let you know how everything goes." I said
"Love you too. Good luck!" Jake said, as I got in my truck to leave.
The drive home was dreadful. But eventually I got there. I didn't get out though I sat in my truck and had one last cry, before talking to him. After 5 minutes I decided to get it over with, because eventually he would come out and get me. I got out and made my way to the house. Edward was waiting by the front door.
"Glad I didn't have to go find you." Edward said.
"Well here I am! I'm pissed so I;m going to bed." I said going past him.
He followed me.
"No, we are talking about this right now! And your pissed? I think I am a little more pissed than you! Knowing my girlfriend goes behind my back to go out with other guys." Edward said. That made me even more mad.
"I don't go out with other guys! IT WAS JAKE! My BEST FRIEND!" I yelled.
"And I am EDWARD! Your BOYFRIEND that YOU keep SECRETS FROM!" Edward mocked.
"I DIDN'T KEEP ANY FUCKING SECRETS! HOLY SHIT!" I yelled.
"Then why didn't you tell me?" Edward said.
"I forgot." I said
"Yeah, okay." Edward said.
"are you going to keep going on about this?" I asked.
"Yes, I am. So you know why?" He asked.
"Fucking enlighten me." I said.
"Simple. Because your fucking lying. You 'forgot' well maybe I'll go out fuck a hooker and 'forget' to tell you!" Edward said. Making air quotations with his fingers at the word forget.
"Are you serious? You would compare me forgetting and you fucking a hooker?" I said.
"Well you lied! So its pretty much the same!" He said.
"No it is not! Because I am telling you the truth!" I said
"No your not! People don't 'Forget' plans Bella!" He said
"I didn't forget the plans! I forgot to tell you of my plans because it was my fucking business not yours!" I yelled.
"Its my fucking business when my girlfriend goes out with guys!" Edward said. I sat there for three minutes staring at Edward. Thinking until I said.
"Well its not your business anymore. I'm done.." I said as I went upstairs to a guest bedroom and locked the door. I sat in the chair the whole night. I didn't move, I didn't go out of the room. I just sat with my knees by my chin, and stared into the darkness of the room.
