"The First Cut is the Deepest"

The weekend flew by without any excitement. Jasper came by on Saturday and would only watch movies with me and make out with me. He was such a gentleman that it made me sick. After two movies I told him I had a headache and was going to lay down. He told me he would just call a friend and go shoot some hoops. I walked him to the door and kissed him goodbye. As soon as he was gone I decided to clean my room since my mother was pestering me so much to do it and then get some sleep. On Sunday I went shopping with Renee and grabbed a movie. While we were at the movie theater I got a text message from Jasper letting me know he was hanging out with Edward and would see me at school. I wasn't worried that he was hanging out with Edward but was not happy thinking that Alice could be with them. So when the movie let out I decided to call him and to my relief he was with Edward at some arcade. I told him I loved him just like I had every time since Friday and we hung up.

By Monday I was more than ready to go to school and have some fun with my girls so I left the house early. As I drove up I noticed Edward leaning against his silver Volvo reading The Crucible for our English class. Making sure the stupid pixie or anyone else wasn't around I strode over to him.

"Boo" I whispered over his shoulder and he jumped.

"Damn Isabella you could have given me a heart attack" he let out a breath and smiled.

"I'm sorry please forgive me" I smiled back and pouted.

"Its ok. We shouldn't be talking at school so what's up?" he asked

"Yeah I know I just wanted to see if I could get your number?" I asked and giggled when he tensed up.

"Just so that we can schedule our tutor sessions." I added and he relaxed again.

"Umm…Oh ok well give me your phone" I handed him my phone and he punched in his number and name.

"Here you go and I have to go. I'll see you around." he turned and walked away.

I walked the other way towards class without waiting for Rose. I hadn't spoken to her after the little fiasco at the party on Friday. She tried to call me the entire weekend and even tried to get Jasper to talk to me but I wasn't having it. She was my best friend and she knew I didn't like Alice but that didn't stop her from talking to her and being polite to her. Even though I was pissed at her I did miss my best friend. A few minutes later Rose walked in and walked over to my table.

"You know Bells you could answer your phone" she sneered with her arms crossed on her chest.

"Sorry I don't have time to answer any backstabbers" I sneered back and rolled my eyes.

"Bells I was only being nice. You know you are being really selfish and as you told me before I was my own person. If I want to make friends then that's what I'm going to do. Alice hasn't done anything but been nice to me. You know that no one will ever replace my best friend and I love you and will always be here for you but I'm not going to stop being friends with Alice because you don't like her." she whispered and looked at me.

"Oh so now the bitch is your friend. The other day you were right along with me making her life miserable but now you want to be her friend. You're a hypocrite and the worst best friend someone could have. I trusted you and you go and backstab me! You know what Rose you don't have to choose. Keep your new friend. I'm Bella fucking Swan I can replace you in a minute." since class hadn't started and at the moment I didn't give a damn I was shouting in her face.

"Well you know what then do what you want. Just know that you'll never find another friend like me. I'm the one that's been there with you through everything and I'm the only one that knows that deep down you are a good person. Bella I love you like a sister but if you don't want to be friends with me anymore then I understand. I'm sorry I hurt you but we're graduating in a few months and I'm not a child anymore. All this stuff is all childish and I'm done with it. Just know that I'll be here whenever you need me just like you were there for me when everything happened with Royce." she turned with tears in her eyes and walked to her desk. When she mentioned Royce I felt really bad.

Royce was Rose's first boyfriend and treated her like a queen but one night he got drunk at a fraternity party and he and his friends tried to rape her. Emmett was at the same party and he walked in at the right time and saved her. I was the only one that she talked to and we spent every minute together. If I helped her with that why couldn't she be loyal right now. Coming back to the present I noticed everyone walking into class. I was so hurt that I couldn't stay in the room anymore. Not caring about missing class I ran out of the classroom and out to my car.

As soon as I reached my car I opened the door and got in and lowered my head on the steering wheel crying. For the second time in less than a week I cried because I was hurt. It felt as if a piece of my heart was ripped away. She was supposed to be my best friend. Best friends were there for each other through everything. They would do everything together and loved and hated the same people together. Everything in my world was being taken away and I couldn't take it anymore. There was only one person that was starting to make my life hell. Alice.

She wasn't just happy with separating my parents and having my fathers love. No. She had to have my boyfriend and my best friend too. She wasn't happy just being with her best friend she had to take mines too. How could people not see what she was doing. Was her plan to take away all the people I loved? Well if she wanted my best friend then I was going to make sure I had hers. Lets see how she will feel when the one person I knew she cared about wasn't there when she needed him.

I don't know how long I had been crying. It felt like less than five minutes but I heard a tap on the window and looked up. I had to wipe away the tears in my eyes to see who it was. When I looked up I noticed a pair of green eyes looking down at me full of concern. I didn't want to seem weak so I quickly composed myself and rolled down the window.

"Yeah" I tried to ask calmly but my voice was hoarse from all the crying.

"Bella what's wrong?" Edward asked worriedly.

I shook my head and looked down. As soon as I did that I saw the picture on my deck of me and Rose on my 18th Birthday and my heart ached more. I felt the tears welling up in my eyes but I didn't care that Edward was there. I had lost the only person in my life that really loved me because of some stupid high school conundrum. Seeing the tears running down my eyes Edward opened the door to my car and bent down. He placed his hand under my chin and brought my face up. When he looked in to my eyes he pulled me over to him and wrapped his arms around me. The action took me by surprise but when I was pressed against his chest I cried harder. Edward just stood there rubbing my back while I cried. He didn't speak just kneeled there holding me. As soon as I felt his hands rubbing my back I started to relax and I sniffed and lifted my head.

"Thanks" I said and heard that my voice was still hoarse.

He looked over at me "No problem. Do you want to talk about it?" he asked in a whisper.

"Not really. Thank you Edward I really appreciate what you just did. Shouldn't you be in class?" I asked realizing that he should have been in class and was missing it because of me.

"Umm…yeah I should be but I saw you run out to your car and I was worried."

"I'm sorry you didn't have to but thank you. I think I'm just going to head home I'm really starting to get a bad headache." I replied knowing I couldn't go back to class with my make up smeared and swollen red eyes. I knew that even if I washed my face and added new make up I would still look like a mess.

"Oh ok…well…why don't you let me take you home you don't look like you should be driving right now." he offered.

"Edward I didn't faint or anything just a few tears." I rolled my eyes and looked at him.

"I know I'm not trying to say you're weak but since you have a headache I think I would feel better if I knew you made it home ok" he explained.

"I'm fine really." I complained.

Before I could protest further Edward smiled at me and held up my keys "You shouldn't leave your keys on the door of you car and well since I have the keys and you can't beat me I think I win." he chuckled. I wanted to laugh but I stood my ground.

"Well its my car and I'm not moving" I folded my hands over my chest.

"Bella humor me. You would help make me feel better" he smiled and looked into my eyes. When I looked into them I was once again mesmerized by how beautiful they looked. The were a beautiful shade of emerald with tiny brown flecks in them. My heart started to beat faster and I my mind started to jumble. Not being able to form a coherent argument I simply nodded my head and pulled myself into the passenger side. What the hell was wrong with me? Edward got up and moved into the drivers seat. As soon as he started pulling out of the parking lot I looked over at him.

"You know you shouldn't dazzle people like that" I stated and he turned to me.

"What are you talking about? I don't dazzle anyone" he chuckled and turned back to the road.

"Yeah you do. You make people forget what they were thinking" I explained and smirked.

"Hmm…Do I dazzle you?" he looked over at me.

"Yeah you just did but it won't happen again. I'm prepared now." I smiled over at him and winked.

"If you say so.." he mumbled and turned to turn on the radio.

Before realizing that I didn't want anyone to know what was in the radio Edward turned it on. I groaned and lowered my head. Why didn't I take out the music earlier? It was too late now.
