Bella's POV
Chapter 22
The class ended quickly and every now and then I would sneak a quick peek at Edward. My curiosity got he best of me. What was it he knew about?
Kyle and I talked throughout the entire period about nothing inpreticular. We were being goofy and random, which earned us a few strange looks from our classmates, but he didn't care. Thats what I loved about him, his inability to care about what other people thought about him.
He talked about odd things, never able to stay on the same subject for long. I thought it was hilarious; stuff he came up with kept me laughing. He brought out a side of me I never even knew I had and the goofiest laugh I'd ever made. I was almost embarrassed by it.
I felt Edward's stare on me the entire time, but I tried not to think of that. We weren't together anymore, so why should it matter to him?
The bell rung and I took my time to leave the class, hoping that maybe Kyle would leave without me so I could talk to Edward.
I guess I didn't wish hard enough because Kyle stood there watching me as I slowly put my things back into my bag. They were scattered everywhere due to a curious Kyle that insisted on raiding my bag. He made fun of my many tubes of eyeliner and Chapstick. Two things I recently found I cannot live without.
Edward stood leaning against the table glaring a Kyle. I swear, if looks could kill...
"Hey Kyle, do you mind waiting for me outside?" I asked, trying to sound casual. I hadn't looked up from the table, afraid of what his reaction would be. My heartbeat picked up and my breathing got faster. Just thinking of talking to Edward again after all this time, I thought I was going to have an anxiety attack.
"...Sure..." Kyle said knowingly. I knew he would be listening for if anything goes wrong and, no doubt, Edward did too. He left and I waited for Edward to began. I wanted to talk but I don't intend on being the first one to talk.
"Bella," he started. His voice was just as I remembered it, and just as I dreamt it every night. It brought back memories. The ones I missed so much.
Then, I felt it. His cool, smooth hand touch my arm, and on reflex, I cringed away from it. Quickly taking a few steps back.
I stared at his hand as he dropped it back to his side, then to his face. His eyes looked the same as they did earlier, full of pain, sorrow, and anger. His eyes tore away from mine and he looked down shamefully.
I stood there, not knowing what to do. I was very much angry with him, but I wanted nothing more than to wrap my arms around him and kiss his beautiful pink lips... I wanted to be with him, but something told me I would just get my heart broken again.
"Bella, words can't express how sorry I am for putting you through all of this. So... I'll do my best to explain." he told me, pulling out my chair. He motioned for me to sit and I did just that. He sat next to me and let out a long and suppressing sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose. When he finally looked up to me, I was on the verge of tears. His eyes widened in alarm.
"Bella! Love, are you alright?" he exclaimed.
"Love. You call me Love. But if you 'loved' me so much then why would you cheat on me with that...that... Whore!" I screamed at him. He looked at me in surprise. That's right, he'd never heard me use cuss words before. I remember him saying that there was nothing cute or funny about a young lady using such vulgar words, and to be honest I didn't think so either.
"Bella, I know your hurt, but I swear to you there is nothing going on between Tanya and I."
Did he think I was stupid? Because I'm human I don't know anything. His doubt in me was really pissing me off.
I know it's been almost a month and you deserve more than what's in this chapter. I don't know if I can write often since my iPod is really acting up. The screen is cracked, the top button is jammed, and it shuts off if you leave alone for a while. I'm sure I'll stop working pretty soon. I just really hope no one abandoned this story. I had everything planned out for a long time now, but I'm not so sure anymore. The way I see it there are two ways this story can go.
1.) It can end in the next chapter or so and have a happily ever after.
OR
2.)It can go on for a few more chapters with more drama, that you may or may not like.
EVERYONE has to vote on this because everyone opinion matters.
