Chapter 10

I sat on the Floor in the hallway clutching my chest, staring at the front door willing Edward to walk back through it, my eyes raw from crying. I hear the phone ringing but I couldn't be bothered to answer so I sit in my spot on the cold floor & let the machine get it. 'Hey Bells, uh it's your old man I guess your out, was thinking of coming up to see ya this weekend, I have some news so give me a call back when ya get this. Love ya kiddo'' …

Great a visit from dad he couldn't have picked a worse time.

The thought of trying to forget about Edward makes my heart Bleed. for now I decide to get off my ass & go for a Run my eyes could do with some air, everything is reminding me of Edward even this stupid Park I would have to come to Myrtle ''Edwards'' Park. I try to zone him out concentrating on the music blasting through my ears from my IPod as I run fast through the park. ''ooof…ohh ow'' ''owww'' I just collided into the tiniest girl ever falling on my ass & it hurt like hell. ''I'm so sorry, I wasn't watching where I was running….. I kinda zoned out to the beat. I'm really sorry are you ok?''

The Two of us sit like kids playing in a sandbox rubbing our heads, she looks familiar but I can't place her.

''yeah I think so, god ow what is your head made of steel…..Bella? Bella Swan?

''um yes, that's me. I'm sorry do I know you''

''only as a 180lb Girl named acid face Alice'' what! Erm... then I remember oh my god Alice Cullen she was a little overweight in school & had really bad acne, Tanya was the one who started calling her acid face Alice, I felt Horrible for her & I told Tanya off but it was too late by then it stuck with the rest of our peers & that's what she was known as, if only they saw her now.

''wow Alice you look amazing, & your skin is Beautiful. I'm really sorry for all the things Tanya did to you when we were in High School I should have done more.'' I miss Edward, I can feel the tears threatening to spill from my eyes once more. the beginnings of an emotional breakdown setting in.

I stand to leave Holding out a hand to help her up first, and she takes it to my relief maybe she can forgive me. '' well take care Alice & I'm really sorry again for crashing into you'' I walk away wiping my tears, I feel a hand on my shoulder, its Alice looking at me with concern ''um Bella is everything all right?''

''yeah I just, I'm having a rough Day'' I smile at her but the tears are streaming down my face I go & sit on the bench but then the tears come Harder as I wonder if Edward has ever slept on this Bench, Alice comes over & puts her hand on my back as I cry it out.

''want to tell me what's going on, I know were not really friends or anything but I know how talking to someone Helps'' - I'm sorry that we weren't friends, I think you would've been a much better friend than Tanya'' ''a pet Rat would've been a better friend to you than Tanya Bella, but I would have liked to be your friend in high school too, I know you weren't like her. So….?''

''well…cliff notes version? My boss fired me from the Magazine because Tanya told him I was in a relationship with a drug Addicted Homeless man…. &'' – ''Whatttt!'' Man can Alice shriek! ''that fucking Bitch so she hasn't changed a bit & he believed her? …oh Bella'' ''well he wasn't addicted to drugs I'm pretty sure of that…but he was… is Homeless. His name is Edward He saved me from being raped one night & I don't know everything's happened so fast but I love him Alice'' ''wow well….good for you Bella as for the Magazine you can totally sue their asses but um-please don't' bite my head off but are you sure it's healthy to be having a relationship with a homeless man I mean it's very noble of you but…''.

''Not you too… I'm Not anymore he left anyway because of what happened with my job, he's trying to protect me he said he doesn't care about me but I know he does!... I feel like crap,I don't want to sue them either I just want Edward back.''

''well I don't know about your man, but actually if your looking for work we could with do someone for the restaurant of course you wouldn't be on a salary like your previous job but we'd be working together & it might help take your mind off things'' that sounded good, I didn't really need a big pay check right now anyway & it would take my mind off Edward I didn't want to be one of those girls sitting at home crying for their lost love. I wanted to look for him again, but I knew he didn't want me to.

''ok that would be great Alice''''yay trust me were going have fun working together, there's loads of hot guys that come to the restaurant too & you'll forget all about your Edward in no time''

Somehow I didn't think so…..
