Hey guys here's another chapter! In this chapter I wanted to give Adrian the space to show you his own thoughts and feelings. Up until now we mostly saw Edward's and Bella's reactions but the time has come for Adrian to express his self!

I hope you find it quite informative and that it will help you understand the situation even better!

Chapter 23

APOV

Finally, I've made it home and lied down on my bed, so exhausted I couldn't move a muscle. The day was beyond awful to start with. I had failed on a very important test at school and then I had spent almost six hours in the library, trying to finish a very stressful project that I have to hand in by tomorrow.

When I was done from there I went to the park for a little jogging just to clear my head out. The only problem was the weather, it was getting colder and colder every day, but I cannot say I'm not used to it. I've grown up to Forks after all.

Only a month had passed since we left and I missed it a lot every fucking day. I've made some new friends here already but it's not the same. The guys here are okay, I guess, but they don't get me like my friends in my old town.

We had grown up together, I knew them my whole life and we shared a different connection.

Furthermore, it was difficult to tell who wanted to be really your friend or who was hunging out with you just because you were famous. And the ugly truth is that it doesn't take long to become famous here once you are good looking enough and rich.

There are so many ambitious girls that have been desperately trying to seduce me that I had to use all my strength and self control to remain calm and polite. Most of them were really attractive yes, but at the same time some of them were so fake they disgusted me.

On my mind there was only Bella, my sweet, innocent, beautiful Bella. I've missed her so much, I wanted to see her blushing like crazy after every passionate kiss, or hear her laugh or watch her biting her bottom lip when she was nervous. I wanted to just feel her close to me again.

I turned my head and looked at the alarm clock on my nightstand. The time had passed and I noticed that Bella should have called an hour ago. We were texting every morning and we were talking on the phone every night at a specific hour no matter what.

What had happened today? Was something wrong with her?

I stand up and reached for my cell in my gym bag. I had a new e-mail, it was from Jessica? What the hell? Why had Jessica mailed me?

We hadn't talked since I've left town and it's not like we used to hung out together, we just knew each other, in such a small town you know everyone and specially those who are at your age.

My confusion though was long forgotten the moment I opened that damn mail. It was a picture, obviously taken by Jessica herself not ten minutes ago. It showed Bella, laughing as I had never seen her before, and fallen almost all over Edward. I could recognize the place they were at, it was the Dinner.

What bothered me most was the expression on both their faces. That bastard had his bloody hands all around her and he looked so smug, so delighted. He was looking down at her with such love and affection that I had to use all my strength not to throw and crush the cell on the wall.

That's why she hadn't called, she was with him and she was having the time of her life as far as I could tell. She had completely forgotten me.

With greeted teeth I kept looking at the picture, focusing on her face. Her cheeks were flushed, the smile was huge and real and she looked so happy and carefree, like nothing in the world mattered as long as she was sitting there beside him.

At the same time I couldn't help but smile watching at her, how charming she was, but then again his face appeared in my mind and I saw red!

Without further thought I quickly pressed number one- I had her on speed dial- and waited for her to pick up. But the seconds were passing… I was waiting… she didn't answer… it went to voice mail and I was becoming more and more furious. Was she ignoring my calls now?

She was with Edward and she didn't pick up her phone. Calm down Adrian, think logically. But I just couldn't! The whole thing was driving me mad! Had she something to hide from me? Was she going to lie about tonight?

Was she having an affair with him? So many questions and I couldn't find the answers! I was losing my mind here!

I was torn between waiting for her to call or to call her again and again until she had no other choice but to pick up. But at that perfect moment when I was ready to call again, my cell rang and her name appeared on the screen...

Hours after I had the conversation with Bella, I was still lying on my bed unable to sleep. I'd been tossing and turning for more than three hours but nothing. I looked at the alarm, half past three in the morning.

I sat up and rubbed my tired eyes. I checked at my phone for a hundredth time but there's no difference. Not a single sign from her. Only silence. Bloody, stupid silence that was torturing my mind.

I wanted to talk to her but I wanted her to be the first to call. I was waiting for an apology. Or maybe I should be the one to call her first? Should I beg for forgiveness?

Oh man what should I do?

We fucked up things once again, it was our second serious fight within the last two weeks. We'd been together for almost five months and we hadn't fight like that not once and now everything was falling apart in a really short times notice.

That really sucks.

I stood up and walked to the window, pulled the heavy curtains to the side and starred outside. The view from this window was spectacular but right now I couldn't have been more uninterested in the radiant city spreading in front of me.

Sure the gigantic skyscrapers towering over the wide New York City boulevards was a scene to remember but right now I would trade all this luxury to return back home. I would give anything to fly back to Forks right now, find my Bella and solve this out.

If I had her in front of me, seeing her face I could so easily put an end to al this stupid fighting and crazy jealousy.

Jealousy. A crazy fire eating me from the inside out, creating torturing images in my mind, keeping me awake endless nights.

Ugh! Why, was it so hard for me to accept the fact the she was happy again? I should have been so excited, even delighted that the smile had return to her lips. Was I so selfish?

I closed my eyes, leaning forward to rest my forehead on the cold window, breathing heavily and desperately trying to find something reasonable to do.

The problem was that I was running out of time and that's because of Edward. I had to find an effective way to win Bella's trust again, I had to prove to her that I wasn't possessed by my instincts and my jealousy and I couldn't trust her anymore.

But I had to do something soon before it was too late and Edward had taken her away from me once and for all.

Edward. He had been my best friend for almost six years. We used to do everything together, we were the leaders of our gang and even our school. We were teammates, we had shared so many things together all these years, we had remained friends even when he was in LA.

It was so hard for me to be jealous of my best friend but at the same time I had the urge to punch him straight in the face for being near Bella.

It was so frustrating having to choose between the best friend and your girlfriend but eventually I'd have to do it. No, I think I've already done that and let me tell you the decision it's not on Edward's favour.

Since the moment Bella had told me about the dog I had figured out about his plan. I knew what he was trying to achieve by always being there for her, always being on her side all ready and helpful. He was waiting for me to slip, to do one mistake after the other and lead Bella straight to his open arms.

Bloody bastard, he should have been my friend and always protect her while I was away not trying to steal my girl from me.

My head was hurting so much and I had the urge to slam my fist on something. I had to compose my self and not break everything in the room into pieces. I took several calming breaths, steadying my self as much as possible and went to sit back on my bed facing the empty wall in front of me.

I run in my head all my possible options but it didn't help much since they weren't many things I could do right now. First of all I had to calm down and give Bella some space to breath.

I had to learn how to hold my anger and jealousy under control and not showing my true feeling for her friendship with Edward. It was obvious that if I wanted to keep Edward out of the picture that I had to hide all my real feelings from him.

I suddenly realised that probably this was the end of my long friendship with Edward. How was I feeling about it really? Or a better question was if a girl was worth it? Was Bella worthy enough to give away all these years of friendship with Edward? It didn't took me long to find the answer.

Of course she worth it! And I was ready to do anything to have her, I have to keep her with me, I needed her.

I lied back down on the soft pillows feeling quite relaxed and relieved now that I had a purpose, I had found a way to fight for her.

I knew that for now I had to give her time, we were both needed to clear our heads and put our thoughts into the right position, but I was determined to do everything for her.

So Adrian is really jealous and I think he has every right to be, but at the same time he's becoming really posessive! Poor B. she's in the middle of everything. I also didn't rewrtite the whole conversation with Adrian and Bella BUT I tried to focus on the feelings and reactions instead! I hope you enjoyed it! :)

Please review and let me know what you think about Adrian's reaction! I like to hear your thoughts, it helps me becoming better and writing faster! ;)

Hopefully the next chapter will be updated really soon and we'll see more of Edward and Bella and maybe Adrian!

Untill next time! xOxO
