Chapter 7 Song- Stay by: SafetySuit

BPOV

Edward was very excited to see the rest of the gear to go with the motorcycle. I had gotten him leather gloves, a helmet, insanely cool boots and a four hundred and sixty five dollar leather jacket. All together everything was really expensive, but it was worth it to see the expression on his face.

He squeezed me to death and then basically dragged me over to my house to open my gifts. I walked barefoot back to the house, my feet wanting to feel free from the heels. When we got to my house I went into our quaint kitchen and saw a huge box on the floor, along with a few other gifts that were smaller and placed on the table with care.

I sat down in a chair and was handed the first gift. I opened a few from my parents and Esme, there were movies, CD's, iTunes cards and other randoms, they seemed to be saving an envelope for last.

Edward dragged his present closer to me. It was big and looked heavy. I ripped the bright blue wrapping paper off and revealed the mystery box.

" No way. Seriously?"

He smiled " Well you have many CD's and boom box is totally 70's, no offence, but I wanted to get you something nice."

On the box had a picture of it, it shown that there were many functions on it, the thing was huge and it would take me some practice with it, but I was thankful for such a great gift. I stood and wrapped my arms around his waist. He hugged me back tightly and kissed the top of my head.

" You didn't have to, but thank you so much." I mumbled against his chest.

I pulled away just as I was handed an envelope by my father. I ripped it open and pulled out two rectangular peices of paper. I read them over and saw that they were tickets to see Muse on their concert tour in All State Arena downtown summer of '06.

" Are you serious?!" I screeched.

" We got two because I don't want you going alone, and I know that Edward will want to go." My mother said.

I squeezed her and my father in a tight hug and thanked them profusely for their gifts.

" It was no problem, honey."

I gave both Carlisle and Esme a hug, thanking them for my gifts. They headed home soon after and Edward and I dragged the huge ass stereo upstairs. We set it under my shelves and plugged it in. We messed around with it for awhile until I started to feel sleepy. He also had to go meet Tanya tonight.

Edward stood up and I walked downstairs with him. He gave me a tight hug and a kiss on the cheek.

" Thank you so much for all the gifts."

" Thank you, too. I will never be able to repay you for that one."

He chuckled " You did with all that shit you got me... Well I got to head over to Tanya's but I will see you at school tomorrow."

I nodded and he walked outside into the chilled night air. I closed the door and locked the dead bolt before going back upstairs. When I took off my dress and cardigan I put it on a hanger and set it in the closet. I changed into a pair of shorts and a long baggy shirt that had our highschool logo printed on it.

My parents came in and wished me a goodnight and I thanked them once again for the gifts. When they left I turned off my light and crawled into my bed.

Dream

I was awoken by a sudden noise. I lifted my body up the slightest and saw a familar form standing at the corner of my purple bed. He stayed perfectly still, his green eyes staring deeply into my brown ones, as if he could see my soul and I his.

With courage I threw my blankets off me and went into a kneel at the end of the bed. I grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him to me. He lowered me to the bed, but kept a hand on the mattress so he wouldn't crush me with his body.

His lips pressed against mine in a fiery passion and his hand went to my thigh, gripping it tightly. I kept one hand in his unkempt bronze hair and the other around his body. His tongue nipped at my bottom lip and my lips parted. Edward's tongue sought out and battled mine.

Momentarily he pulled away and tossed off my shirt. I pulled him back to me and kissed him deeply.

I moaned against his lips when his other hand ran from my neck, to my hips. I pressed up against him, trying to get closer when I heard a loud, annoying ringing noise.

He stopped and I groaned from the loss. Slowly, he started to dissapear, his body fading.

" Don't go." I whispered.

End Dream

I was broken out of my dream by my cell-phone. I wanted to scream at it and blame it for ruining my developing dream. The red numbers on the clock beamed two fifty one. I grabbed my cell phone and saw it was Edward's name on the caller ID

He wouldn't call at this time unless it was important. I accepted the call and brought it to my ear.

" Hey, what's going on?" I rasped sleepily

" Can I come over. I know it's late but I really need someone to talk to." he sounded very panicked and it worried me.

" You might have to climb the tree. You know Renee." I said, mentioning the fact that she was a light sleeper.

" Okay. I'll be there in a few."

I unlocked my window and turned on my orange bubble hanging lamp. I ran my hands over my eyes, digging my palms into my eyes, trying to wake myself up a bit more.

He sounded panicked and he was probably coming from Tanya's. It was possible that she may have worked him up over something but it sounded a little intense. Just as a yawn escaped from my mouth I heard the window slide open.

Edward slide through easily and quietly shut the door. His hair was a mess, signalling that he had been running his hands through it. I patted the end of the bed and he ignored the gesture, pacing around the room.

" Edward, what happened?" I asked quietly.

" I did something, probably shouldn't of done it. But now I am panicked and... oh god."

He sat down on my bed, his leg shaking and bouncing on the floor. I crawled over by him and rested my hand on his.

" Talk okay." I said.

His head turned to the sky " I went over to Tanya's and apparently her parents weren't home. She wanted us to... you know. I told her that I didn't think we were ready and she said that we've been dating for almost a year now and she didn't want to wait any longer. It was many things, but mostly awkward and uncomfortable and I... fuck, Iz, I wasn't ready. Just because I turn seventeen doesn't mean that I automatically am. Plus the whole, no sex before marriage, and I was totally great with that... But I- She was upset when I left and no doubt pissed by now."

I tried not to show the hurt on my face, but the crack in my heart was present. I stared down at my hands.

" Say something." he said.

" What do you want me to say, Edward. I wish you didn't? I really do. But you made the choice, and if you weren't ready then why did you go with it?"

" I didn't want her to break up with me." he replied

" Not to insult you, but that's a stupid reason. If she is pressuring you then that's not right."

He held his head down " Your right, your always right. I just needed someone, and I knew that I could talk to you."

I leaned back and held my arms open. Edward put his arms tightly around me and hugged me close, resting his head on the side of my neck.

" It's fine, Edward. I just want you to be okay."

The second part is true.

This day felt like so much so fast. My heart felt like it was slowly cracking open at the fact that he had sex with her. Edward gave up his virginity up to a girl that had been with so many other guys. He didn't deserve that, he deserved better.

" I am such an idiot." he said, abruptly sitting up " I come here and tell you that I just... Bella, I am so sorry. I feel like such an ass. I take advantage of your kindness and understanding."

" Your my best friend, it's okay."

I laid down in my bed, yawning and closing my eyes.

" I feel like a even bigger asshole for waking you up, especially when we have school."

With a groan I opened one eye " Just go home and get some sleep, okay?" I said.

He smiled. I leaned towards him " You don't want to sleep here. I might molest you." I whispered

Edwad threw his head back and laughed loudly. I pulled away with a smile and stared up at him under my lashes

" Thanks for that, I needed a laugh... Thanks calming me down, too, Iz. I'll come by in the morning to pick you up."

His strong arms wrapped around my slim waist " Your such a sweetheart." he whispered, kissing my cheek.

" Thank you," I said in response, pulling away from him.

---

I awoke in the morning from another explicit dream starring Edward. I wiped the sweat off my forehead and sat out of bed. The clock read six fifty. I went into a section of my room by my front window, overlooking the driveway. I sank down into a chair and opened the window, feeling the cool breeze against my heated skin.

With a sigh I rested my head on the wooden frame and inhaled the air.

My head was running a mile a minute. I was so upset that Edward had done what he did. I could not longer dream that we would be eachothers first. Now I had no desire to even think about it. He said it was awkward, and I guess that's one good thing. It's not like I would want him raving about how much he enjoyed it. That would be even worse.

I shut my eyes tightly and took a deep breath.

The wish I had brought upon myself was for Tanya to be gone before highschool was over, but who was I kidding. After getting a few rounds, Edward he wouldn't care about how awkward it was the first time. She was probably going to convince him. It was easy to sway him the first time how would the second or third be different.

I felt the tears well up and let them fall this time. When I heard my bedroom door open, I wiped them quickly.

" What are you doing over here?" he murmured.

" Um, nothing,"

He gave me a pointed look " You suck at lying. What where you thinking about?"

I looked down at my hands, my eyes slightly narrowed and my mouth open. I stood up from my spot and walked back towards my bedroom.

" Nothing... Nothing that's important."

" Everything you say is important."

I shook my head "I can't... Nothing, okay. I just need some water."

I walked out of my bedroom and jogged downstairs. I couldn't even look at him now. All I saw was someone that Tanya Denali marked. I took a deep breath and poured a glass of water. I drained it slowly before putting it in the sink.

I had no desire in my body to go back upstairs, but I had to. I trudged up the stairs and re-opened my bedroom door. Edward was sitting on the end of my bed, fiddling with his phone. When he heard me he looked up

" Why don't you talk to me. I asked you what was going on a few weeks ago and you said you couldn't tell me. We can always tell eachother things and I don't know why your holding back.."

"I have to get in the shower." I mumbled.

" Damn it, Bella. Don't make excuses." he exclaimed, glaring down at me.

I sat up, staring his straight in the eye " Well maybe you should just go to your girlfriends house. I bet she is better company then I am." I sneered, not thinking about what I said before saying it.

" Seriously. Your upset because I had sex with her. I thought you didn't care."

" People lie, Edward. You just don't think I'm very good at it." I stated, heading for my bathroom.

He suddenly grabbed my shirt from behind me, and yanked me back. He put his hands on my shoulders, staring at me once again. His piercing green eyes were staring right into my brown ones. I tried to avoice his gaze, but his hand moved to hold my chin straight ahead.

" Don't fucking do this to me, Isabella. You were great yesterday, now your acting like a raging bitch. I didn't do anything personally to you. Why is it so bother to you that I had sex? I know I came over panicked but-"

" A raging bitch? That's what you think I am. Well it's not my fault that...that."

-that your girlfriend is the one who is the raging bitch.

The sentence was finished in my head. There was no way I was telling him about how Tanya treats me. No fucking way. It would risk to much. There could be one horrible scenario, and that would be him thinking I was just making it up.

I didn't have the confidence at this moment to believe that he would think I was telling the truth. I could never put our friendship at risk just because Tanya doesn't treat me as nicely as everyone things she does.

" What, Bella! Tell me, please."

" I-I can't. No. Please don't ask me to tell you because I can't." I murmured.

" Please, I need you to talk to me."

I ducked my head and shook my head " No."

" It makes me feel horrible that you can't talk to me."

I hung my head down.

" Just go home."

I felt his lips press against my temple before he slipped out of my bedroom. Moments later I started up the shower. I sat on the ground of the bath tub, letting the sobs wrack my body.

---

Once I was all cleaned up in the shower, I stepped out and brushed my teeth, along with washing my face.

I dressed in a dark purple tanktop and a black vest. This was one of the many outfits Alice had shown me to put together. I went through my drawers and found a pair of medium wash shorts, I slipped them on, then my black wedges. It was a warm day so I would take advantage of it.

Once finished dressing I went back into my bathroom to do my makeup. I swept on some mascara, smeared on cherry chapstick and grabbed a pony tail to throw my hair up. I straightened my bangs and swept them to the side

I swept up my school bag and jogged downstairs to the kitchen, where blueberry muffins were set on a plate. My stomach was a little gurgly today so I didn't feel like eating a meal.

" I'm not really hungry today. I'm just going to head over to the Cullens and wait for Edward."

" Okay, sweetie."

I trudged over to the mansion and let myself in. When I reached the kitchen where both Esme and Carlisle were drinking coffee. Edward was scarfing down a bowl of cereal like a starving person.

" Bella, what are you doing here? Everything okay, sweetheart?" Esme asked.

" Um, yeah. I just wasn't hungry so I figured that I would head over to wait for, Edward. I'm not a bother am I?"

" Of course not." Carlisle interjected.

Edward finished his breakfast cereal quietly before grabbing his keys to the Volvo. I followed him outside and slipped into his car. The whole ride to school he was quiet, as he was when we reached our lockers at school. Tanya was all was draped over him, whispering things in his ear and gripping his arms.

AP Algebra went by. Edward ignored me and scribbled furiously on his notebook as Mr. Brooks gave the lesson. I tried to stop looking at him, but I still glanced at him everyonce in awhile. When the bell rang he was out of his chair like a bullet.

In Biology, it went the same.

My last class came, which was gym. I unfortunetly had that class with Tanya. She was sitting on the bleachers, her friend Carmen next to her. It wasn't until she decided to open her mouth that I cared about her presence.

" It was amazing last night, Carmy. He was perfect and so eager, knew all the right moves, and he was a virgin! I really don't care about that though, I'm just glad that he didn't have sex with Isabella Swan. I really don't see why he still hangs out with that peice of trash, she's not even that pretty. He had to leave early though because his parents would of noticed he was past curfew. Anyways, it was still great. He's like the hottest guy, and quarterback, in school and I am the head cheerleader. It's so perfect and I so deserve him." she squealed.

Awakard? What a fucking, lying bastard. He could play it real well.

----

When school was over and Edward drove me back I was fuming. I said not a word, but let him know I was when I slammed the Volvo door. I slammed it so hard that the car basically shook. When I looked at my driveway I saw Alice and Rose holding packages, no doubt my presents.

" Hey! We wanted to give you your gifts before we left for the mall. You can tag along if y-"

" Um, no thanks. Next time though, it's been a long day"

Alice rolled her eyes and handed me a silver box " This is from Jazz and I."

I ripped open the paper and immediatly knew what they were. Alice opened the flap on the box and I saw a beautiful pair of black pointed toe heels.

" These are so cute, Al!" I exclaimed, picking them up.

" Yay! There only three inchs so you won't break your ankle. I hoped that you would like them!"

I slipped off my wedges and put them on. They were pretty hot shoes if I do say so myself. I grabbed Alice in a tight hug and she handed me another box. Under the thick, silver wrapping paper was a clothing box. I took off the cap and saw a gorgeous blue off the shoulder top, there were short sleeves on them. It was a dark blue, light blue and had a white small floral pattern. Also inside was a pair of dark wash skinny jeans.

" Aw, this is so cute, Alice."

She smiled " I know."

" My turn!" Rose chimed.

I smiled and she handed me a small box with blue sparkling wrapping paper. I slowly ripped it open and saw a blue box. Slowly I opened the top and saw a sterling silver charm bracelet, there was a charm on it that was shaped like a heart, engraved into it was 'Best Friend's -Rose'. I hugged her tightly and smiled.

" It's so pretty. You didn't have to but thank you. Help me clasp it on."

I held out my wrist and she clasped it. I gave them both another hug before they said they were heading to the mall. I thanked them again and walked into the house. I didn't have work until tomorrow so I had time to do homework.

My parents weren't home, working like they normally did at this time. My mother normally came home around five, and she would make dinner with me. If she was late then I would make dinner for my dad.

Suddenly I heard my cell-phone chime.

" Can I help you?" I asked.

" One minute you look depressed and the next your fucking pissed at me. Can you just come out to the back and talk to me and tell me what I did?"

I turned off my phone and jumped off my bed. I slipped out of backdoor and saw him in his yard, on the glider. At that moment, he was right. I kind of was acting like a raging bitch. But he lied to me. Something that he never did.

He was holding a can of Coke and taking periodic sips from the can. When he heard my heels clicking against the cement platform he looked up at me. I leaned against the wooden table across from where he was seated.

" So, want to talk now?" he asked.

" In the middle of the night you called me and came over saying you had sex with Tanya. You said that it was awkward and you were uncomfortable. Making it sound like you were pressued. Then I get to gym class today. Tanya was raving to Carmen about how you were so 'perfect' and 'eager', that you knew all the right 'moves'." I spat with venom, walking along the pavement.

" What do I believe? Huh? Tell me because right now, I am confused and... beyond myself in anger."

He leaned back in his seat and took a breath.

" That's what I thought." I said, making my way back to my house.

" Bella! Will you calm the fuck down. It was fucking awkward, she was all over me and I was just freaked out. She knew what she was doing and I didn't. I don't know why, but she is making it better then it really was. In my eyes, it was a nightmare. I won't even call it sex when I never-"

" OKAY! I don't want to hear about that! Thats just... your buisness. That is not something I ever want to hear about." I stated sternly.

" Whatever, okay... Look, I just want us to get along. Ever since the school year we've been getting into stupid fights."

...and they all have to do with Tanya.

I rolled my eyes " As of right now, I don't care."

He rolled his eyes back at me and dug into his pocket, producing a cigarette.

" Put that the hell down."

Instead he lit it and took a long drag, then handed it to me. He forced it into my hand and I held it awkwardly.

" Come on, Isabella. You can't tell me your not at all interested."

I wrapped my lips around it and breathed it in. Almost immediatly I pulled back in a fight of coughs when I inhaled it. Edward patted my back until I stopped.

" Well, that wasn't a good idea. Wouldn't want to taint your lungs anyways." he said with a chuckle.

I glared at him and sat on the glider.

" Why do you smoke... I mean you have your first game Friday. Don't you want to be as strong as possible? How do you get them anyways."

"Tyler." He shrugged and put out his cancer stick then scooted close to me, wrapping his arm around my shoulder. I leaned my head against his chest and his hand rubbed up and down my arm.

" Do you want to talk about this morning?"

" No, thank you."

He pulled me into his arms and hugged me.

" When you want to talk, I will always be here to listen."

You say that now.
