Chapter 10-

"I miss you Eddie…" Love whispers.

I stare straight ahead.

Desperately trying to ignore her.

To block her out.

It's impossible.

I smell her strawberry scented shampoo and feel her hot breath against my cheek.

"We can be together…" She murmurs, as she plays with my hair.

I bite down on my tongue.

She just wants a reaction out of me.

She wants me to yell.

She wants me to scream.

She wants to see me hurt.

That won't happen.

I can't let it.

"Whats wrong baby? Did I hurt you too much? Fuck you up beyond repair?" She cackles, I cringe.

"Stop." I tell her.

She smiles, and looks me over before laughing again.

"Stop. You might have dated me and you might have bet that you could make me the person everyone wanted to be but you didn't. You didn't." I say, I just want her to stop.

"You found out. You were never supposed to find out." She speaks, as she looks down at her hands.

I stare at her in shock.

This is the first time she shows weakness.

The first time she shows me something other than that facade she has going on.

"But I did."

"But you did."

She looks at me again, her eyes reflecting sorrow and remorse but it's gone in a flash.

"If I had more time. I could have made you the star of the school." She smiles, and once again the mask is back on.

The mask that I want gone so badly.

The mask that hides my Bella.

But I never gave her a chance. I never let her explain and she never tried to after what I said to her.

She just went back to treating me the way everyone else did.

She saw me as the broken, tired, pitiful loner that everyone saw.

She stopped believing in me and I stopped believing too.

"I'm sorry." I whisper, as I stare down at my feet.

We are both to fault.

"For what pretty boy?" She questions, in a haughty tone.

"For hurting you. For doing this to you." I say, as I look back up at her.

Pain flashes across her face and she shakes her head.

"I like this me. I should be the one apologizing to you." She tells me, as she looks at me with a frown upon her gorgeous face.

I know.

"Okay." I tell her.

Because I have no idea what else to say.

Because I am terrified to get my hopes up only to have them brought crashing down.

"Edward." She speaks.

I breathe in slowly and exhale.

"Bella." I say.

Her name burns in my throat, it's the first time I've said it since the day.

"I'm sorry. For all of it." She whispers.

My heart pounds in my chest, she apologized.

She actually apologized.

"I am too."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah" I murmur.

She nods, gives me a small smile and turns around.

Walking towards the front of the classroom.

Were everyone keeps their shocked eyes on her.

Because she talked to Cullen.

Because she talked to me.

I close my eyes and sigh.

For the first time in months I feel a real smile settle upon my face.

For the first time in months I feel alive.
