It has been a month since Bella and I started dating. This month has been like a dream. Other than the last and constant encounters with Tanya, there were no problems.
A week ago Alice and I wrote Bella down in the list for the auditions for the talent show. We recorded Bella while she was singing, and sent the recording for the jury to hear. Yesterday, we got a call from one of the jury. He told us that Bella was selected to take part in the talent show. The show was in two weeks. We were making Bella sing as a rehearsal. At last minute, we are going to make her choose a song. She was getting suspicious.
Today it was Saturday afternoon, and it was sunny. I asked Bella if she wanted to go out to a park in a Seattle, and she agreed. I waited for her downstairs. I got wordlessly when I saw her. She had left her hair down and was wearing light make-up. She was wearing a flowered dress with violet stilettos and a violet headband. ``You look beautiful. But, that´s natural on you.´´ I said. She blushed and looked away.
-Let´s go! I want to enjoy the sun.
-Your wishes are my command.
We went to the garage and got in Bella´s car. We exited the garage and headed to Seattle. We arrived forty five minutes later we were in Seattle´s park. We started walking, holding hands and enjoying our time together. We decided to sit down on a bench to talk about things. After a while, Bella asked me if we could go to the music store and then to the library, I, of course, said yes. While we were walking she asked me if I would tell her if the guys were planning on make her participate in the talent show. I told her that of course I would warn her. I felt guilty. She smiled at me, and I thought ``A little lie can´t harm anyone.´´
We were talking about random things, when suddenly, Bella bumped into a woman.
-OH! I´m sorry! - Bella said. The woman stayed quiet for a second, looking at Bella as she had just seen the most unbeliable thing.
-It-It´s okay. Have you seen a tall man with blonde hair and a scar in the lip? He´s my husband.
-No, we haven´t-I answered.
-Thanks, anyhow. Bye.
WE kept on walking towards the music store. Bella was too silent, and I asked her what was wrong.
-Oh! It´s nothing. That woman, she seems familiar, like I know her. That´s crazy, though.
-Maybe you saw her on the street. I think I saw her in Forks.
.I don´t think I saw her in the street. Wait. You saw her in Forks?
I nodded.
-I think she is a nurse in the hospital.
She changed subject in a weird way, as if trying to escape from the conversation about the woman that works in the hospital. She looked very, very, very deep in thought.
In the music store, she didn´t pay attention to the CD´s, she just chose one and told me she wanted to go to the library. In the library, she didn´t pay attention, again. She bought a new book of Wuthering Heights. When I asked her why she was buying another one, she said her other copy was in a poor condition.
I asked her if she wanted a coffee or something, she would normally say yes (like me, she wants all the time possible to be alone). But she answered no! That she wanted to go home and rest. I respected her decision and took her home. All the way to our home, she was awkwardly silent. Once we were in home, she climbed upstairs to her room, and when she inside of it, she locked the door. A sign that she wanted to be alone. I got worried, and was planning to go upstairs, but my evil pixie twin sister stopped me.
-If she locked the door, it´s because she wants to be alone. You know that, and, you should respect her. What have you done?
-I haven´t done a thing!- I answered agitated. - We were just walking, when we bumped into this woman. She asked us if we had seen her husband, I answered no. She said thanks and goodbye and left. They both looked at each other weird. The women, looked at Bella like she was something incredible, like the face you put when a family member you haven´t seen in a long time makes a surprise visit. Bella, on the other side, was thoughtful when she saw her; shocked at first. After that ``encounter´´ she started acting weird.
-Hmm… Okay. I am going to Jazz´s home. Emmet is in there. There is going to be a dinner, and, we are ALL invited. So, make Bella get of her ``Leave-me-alone-I-want-to-think´´ state by the time I come home for Barbie-Bella, Got it? Yes? Okay. Bye.
Once she left, I went to the kitchen to eat something. I was thinking of Bella and that woman. They looked alike. Their hair was the same brown that shone in the sun, and they had a similar face.
I was trying to remember if I had actually seen her in the hospital, in that moment, Bella entered the kitchen. Her eyes were watery, like she had been crying, or almost crying. I went to hug her.
-Honey, what´s wrong?
-Nothing, love. It´s just that I was thinking of my Mom. That always makes me cry. Ugh, I hate crying for my mother.
-Love, it´s okay. If my parents´ were far away, I would be a little depressed, too. Do you want to call them?
-Edward…I am not talking about my adoptive parents´. I am talking about my Mom. I always wondered what would have happened if she stayed with me.
-Oh! Bella, why haven´t you ever told me this?
-I haven´t because… I just don´t open up to people. If I told you this, it´s because I trust and love you very much. But, I don´t trust nobody so much as to talk about my Mom. I am sorry, though. I wish you could have a girlfriend which didn´t get all depressed by just thinking of her Mom for two minutes. You know what? When I start thinking of her, I can´t stop. I wonder what she would think of everything and everyone in my life.
-Bella, you shouldn´t feel guilty because of getting depressed. You have been adopted, of course you wonder what would have happened if your parents´ were here with you. I am sure that they didn´t want to leave you.
She looked guilty, nodded and looked away. I was about to ask her if she thought that her parents didn´t want her, but my cell-phone rang. I saw the ID caller. Alice. I answered and put her on speaker.
(A/N: the letters in cursive is Alice talking)
-Hello dear brother! Change of plans! The Hales´ are eating in our house, a nurse from the hospital and her husband are also coming. I know, don´t ask. It´s a long story, it includes Daddy taking a hint.
-Okay. Ali, when are you coming back.-I wanted to know how many hours I had left with my Bella.
-An hour or two. I´m going to arrive an hour and a half before dinner to play Barbie-Bella. Talking about
Barbie-Bella, I can´t wait to play to it for the Talent Show…
-WHAT?-Bella yelled.
-Ali, I´ll call you later.
After that, we got on a fight about how I could lie to her in such a way. It lasted fifteen minutes till she left to her room again. I got really mad. I punched the kitchen wall.
She was being ridiculous! She was overreacting! It was just a little lie! It´s not like I lied to her in a big thing! I went to my room and
After a while, I heard a knock in my room, I didn´t answer, and Bella came in. She looked at me and came to sit down next to me. I looked at her, she looked at me. We stared at each other for some time; she got tired of the staring, and came to sit next to me. She hugged me, and I hugged her back.
-I´m sorry, Edward. I just hate when people lie to me. I hate it the most when the person that lies to me is the person I trust the most.
-It´s okay, love. I should have told you the truth.
-I am going to participate in the talent show. It´s time for me to get over my fears!
I kissed her, and kissed, and kissed her. I ended up on top of her. We were kissing so passionately. We should fight more often, if the consequences of our reconciliation would let to this kind of kisses.
We were interrupted by Alice and Emmet.
-Oh My! Can you let those things for the night? The other couples do that!-Emmet yelled.
-Emmet let's get the hell out of here.-Alice whispered-yelled to him.
They left, snickering, in Emmet´s case, and blushing in Alice´s case.
Bella and I started laughing like crazy. Alice called Bella for her torture. It is selfish, but if the ``torture´´ makes her look hotter, it´s worth it.
It has been an hour and seventeen minutes since she was gone (I wasn´t checking the clock every minute, note my sarcasm). I was getting anxious without her. Just in cue, Alice told me to go downstairs. Bella was already there with the rest of the family and the Hales. I rushed down stairs. When I saw Bella, I almost fainted (that was happening to me very often, I have to ask Dad about it). She was wearing a green dress with flats. The dress made her look…WOW!
We were in the table waiting for Beth and Connor (the nurse and her husband). How could they be so unpunctual!
-So, I´m not trying to be rude, but, why did you invite them?-Rosalie asked.
-Rosalie! They are Carlisle…-Rose´s mother started, but my Dad cut her off.
-Lillian, it´s okay. I would have asked the same. Nurse Beth is new. I was showing her around, and she started making conversation. She asked about my family and I asked about hers´. She said that one day she would invite us all to dinner in her home, I said that today we couldn´t, she asked why, and I answered why. She told me her husband and her didn´t have any plans for tonight, it was obviously a hint, and I took it. That´s how I invited them.
We all nodded. Emmet started to talk about the football team, and then we talked about random things. All the teens were starving and wishing that Beth and… (What was his name? Connor! That was his name!) and Connor to arrive.
We heard a knock in the door and Esme almost ran to open it. Looks like she was starving, too. The guests entered and say hi to everyone and apologized for being late. Bella and I recognized them, well, her. She was the woman we met in the street. It´s a small world! I got worried due to Bella´s before reaction. I looked at her and she looked okay. She smiled at me, and I smiled back.
The dinner was really silent. Looks like everyone was starving. (A/N: that happens in my family when we have a barbeque or we are hungry, lol) After desert we started talking more fluently. At first, we just congratulated Esme for her delicious food. Beth was asking everyone about their life´s, but she was mysteriously focused in Bella. She asked her about her parents, her childhood, her friends, about me, etc. We all listened carefully; Bella never talked so much about her life, not even with me. That made me jealous. Beth asked her why her parents´ weren´t here and she answered that they were in Phoenix. Beth looked horrified.
-They left you here alone? How could them? I wouldn´t let my daughter alone like that! Maybe, I am just judging the situation by the little I know about it
-Yes, you are. It was my decision. They are good people. They are not my biological parents, though.-We looked amazed at her, she was almost telling Beth her whole story (or almost, she missed the bully part) without knowing her! She hasn´t opened up with me that much! I was getting hysterical.
-Oh! I am sorry to hear that. You seem to be such a nice teen. At what age have you been adopted?
I was about to answer that she was adopted when she was a baby and that it wasn´t none of her business, but Bella answered unaffected.
-At the age of eight. Although, I was left by my mother at the age of seven.
Those made me explode. She had lied to me the whole afternoon! She was such a hypocrite! She said I couldn´t lie to her in her face, and she did the same! She told me that even knowing she lied me over something more important!
-You are a big HYPOCRITE!- I yelled. I made everyone jump.
-What are you talking about?
-You lied to me all afternoon about this subject! That´s way you looked so guilty! You got mad because I told you a little lie! Hypocrite! You lied me worse. This is over. I´m over with you! I can´t be with someone that hides her life from me!
I heard gasps, a whimper and a ``Oh, Edward´´, but I didn´t pay attention. I was to hurt! I ran to my room. I climbed into my bed. How could your life be perfect and in one minute suck? I hated me, I hated Bella. Ugh! I couldn´t even think of hating her, why? Because I love her so, so, so much! That´s why it hurts so much when she lies to me! I can´t believe I ended it!
A/N: Yay! I finished chapter seven! Sorry I didn´t updated before! The Leonas won! They are the best! Please review! A little part of chapter eight will be in Bella´s perspective. Review!
