Here is the next chapter. Enjoy.
I... Ugh you know the disclaimer already just read...
Saying the disclaimer is so annoying... You already know I don't own anything but the plot.
BPOV
I woke to the sounds of birds chirping and a gray sky. Everything came rushing back to me and I looked at the time on my Droid verizon cell. It was 6 A.M.. Dammit... Gathering my things together, I fought back tears.
I told Edward that he should stay away from me. That I didn't want him near me. A tear leaked out of my eye as I rushed towards my car. Arriving there in a few minutes, I threw my guitar and other shit into the back seat.
Taking a deep breath, I sped home to take a shower and change. I was going full speed, since I'm an excellent driver, no need to brag though. I arrived home in thirty minutes, which is good time actually. It usually takes me an hour to get here.
Grabbing my back pack, I hurried inside before anyone saw me. Going through the front door, I could see Charlie passed out, drunk I believe from all the beer cans and bottles littered around him, on the couch. I sighed and shook my head. Have I ever told you why he doesn't talk to me? Why he gets drunk every night? Well, another time for that.
Sneaking into my room, I put my back pack onto my bed and went into the bathroom that is connected with my room. Charlie and I have our own bathrooms, thank the fucking Lord. I didn't waste any time getting the water onto full blast and getting the water heated.
I stripped out of my day old clothes and stepped under the spray. Ah, it felt so good. I started to wash my hair with Herbal Essence long term relationship shampoo. I sighed as I massaged it into my scalp, it felt nice. My blue bangs hung in my eyes as the water plastered them to my skin. I didn't use Herbal Essence color me happy because, honestly, this is my natural hair color. I was born with blue bangs, red tips, and the green with skulls extensions, just like with my eyes. Freaky, huh? Rinsing my hair out, I closed my eyes and stood under the pulsing water.
Is Edward going to go against my wishes and stay by me? Or will he do ask I asked and go to Tanya? It stung my heart to think of it. But I told him to, so I won't be complaining. I wonder if he'll bully and taunt me too... I shook my head. No, he promised. Even with him not by my side, a promise is a promise! Right?
I realized my back was numb from the water hitting it, so I grab my strawberry mountain body wash and quickly scrubbed myself clean. I turned off the water after rinsing my body and stepped out. I dried off and wrapped a towel around my body.
I went towards my closet and looked for something to wear. I decided on black shredded jeans, a plain black QuickSilver T shirt, and black converse boots. My jewelry was quite simple, my wristband from yesterday, a drop of blood choker, and a bat ring. With my outfit complete, I went back to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. Looking in the mirror, I smiled to see that my hair was acting right in it's usual side swept fringe, the kind that goes across the bridge of your nose.
Grabbing my backpack off my bed as I passed, I hurried out my room and down the stairs, careful not to wake up Charlie. I crept out of the door and into my car. Checking the time on my cell, I sighed. 6:55 A.M.. I shrugged and sped out of my driveway, towards school. I'll get my work done and be in the music room before any one could arrive.
I smiled and parked in my space when I entered the school grounds. There was no one here... Good. I grabbed my bag out of the passenger seat and ran inside, towards my locker. Grabbing my English book, I walked towards the class. Mr. Berty was standing at the door, waiting for me. He stopped me from going in, smiling.
"There's no work. You finished it and you can go," he said. Sweet! I smiled.
"Cool. Thanks." With that, I walked towards the music room, then stopped. I should get my guitar. Turning direction, I headed out to my car. Unlocking the doors, I reached for it in the back. I heard a car engine purring coming from behind me. I stood up straight and looked over my shoulder.
Edward was leaning against his car, watching me.
"Bella," he whispered. My name fell from his lips like a prayer, but I didn't listen. I grabbed my guitar and slung it over my back, closed the door, then walked away. Before I got away, Edward caught my wrist, making me stop. "Bella, please. Talk to me," he begged.
I snatched my wrist back, immediantly missing his touch. I didn't turn towards him, I didn't look at him. I let my bangs fall into my eyes, casting a shadow across the rest of my face.
"No. I told you to stay away from me and leave me alone! Go to Tanya and stop forcing yourself to be my friend Edward!" I yelled as I ran. The wind was blowing hard.
"Bella! Bella come back! Bella!" His voice faded as I ran towards the music room. I didn't dare shed a tear until I was in the safety of instruments. Sitting on the piano bench, I put down my guitar, next to me on the floor and hugged my knees to my chest.
Then, I cried. I cried for so long and I couldn't stop. Tear after tear after tear fell onto the floor. Tears for Edward, who is- was my first best friend. He made me smile, he made me laugh. He made me feel alive again, something that hasn't happened ever since Renee died. I was only five, I don't remember her well.
The knob on the door tried to open, but thankfully, I locked it once I got in. I bet it's Edward. Standing up weakly, I stumbled to the wooden door. I had a little hidden peep-hole carved just because I felt like it. So, undoing the cover, I looked through. I was right. Edward stood there, looking dejected. My heart ached for him but I didn't go out to meet him.
Minutes passed and finally, Edward left. More tears came as I slid down the door on my back, hugging my knees to my chest. I let him go... I let my first ever best friend leave my grasp. There was a high pitched giggle coming from on the other side of the door and I quickly got to my feet to see what was going on. Looking through the peep hole, I felt my heart shatter.
Edward... Tanya... They... Were embracing each other. I told him to go to her, but I didn't think he'll actually do it! I thought he would fight for me, prove that he is trust worthy. I wailed as I backed away from the door. Bring me to life...
I sat at the piano but grabbed my guitar. Strumming the strings I started singing.
I don't think that passenger seat
Has ever looked this good to me
He tells me about his night
And I count the colors in his eyes
He'll never fall in love he swears
As he runs his fingers through his hair
I'm laughing cause I hope he`s wrong
I don`t think it ever crossed his mind
He tells a joke I fake a smile
That I know all his favorite songs
And..
[chorus:]
I could tell you his favorite color`s green
He loves to argue, born on the seventeenth
His sister`s beautiful, he has his father's eyes
And if you asked me if I love him,
I'd lie
He looks around the room
Innocently overlooks the truth
Shouldn't a light go on?
Doesn't he know that I've had him memorized for so long?
He sees everything black and white
Never let nobody see him cry
I don't let nobody see me wishing he was mine
[chorus]
He stands there then walks away
My god if I could only say
I'm holding every breath for you...
He'd never tell you but he can play guitar
I think he can see through everything
But my heart
First thought when I wake up is
My god he's beautiful
So I put on my make up
And pray for a miracle
Yes I could tell you his favorite color`s green
He loves to argue oh and it kills me
His sisters beautiful he has his father's eyes
And if you asked me if I love him
If you asked me if I love him
I'd lie
I was smiling. Thinking of Edward. He made me smile, even when I just saw him with Tanya. I want to be with him now. I wish I never told him to leave.
My eyes closed and I stayed there till the bell rang. I think I just might stay here. That's what I did, stayed in the music room for the whole next bell. I love you Edward...
Where there is the next chapter. Hope you like it.
I'm thinking about a chapter where Bella exposes her talent and sings out her feelings for Edward. Tell me if I should do it. REVIEW!
