A/N This is an excerpt from chapter 12 in Edwards POV which I started a while ago which I thought you all might like to read.

"So? What do want?" I gritted my teeth and ran a hand through my hair.

"You know what I want Eddie." She purred placing a hand on my arm and stoking her fingers up and down, I snatched my hand back away from her. "Now, now, no need to lose your temper; I just want to know how things are going with you and Bella, what progress you're making."

"Things are going fine." I spat through gritted teeth, my stomach knotting with guilt as I thought about Bella and what I was doing to her, she didn't deserve this not at all, but the amount of money Lauren was offering me. I couldn't pass it up. I could go to the college of my dreams, if I got in that is, regardless, I wouldn't have to rely on my parents for college money, which they would never give me in a million years if they thought it was going towards a music college. They thought art was whimsical and a waste of my time. They didn't mind me playing my piano as long as it didn't interfere with my school work. It couldn't be my career oh no, being a musician is beneath me, it's not for me, have to become a doctor and take over the family business. Great, just fucking great.

"Good." She smirked. "At least when this is over we can end this silly break up charade." She ran her hand up and down. "Good thinking on your part you know." she grinned up at me, eyes bugged.

"Did you honestly think I was faking? After what you're making me do to Bella, apart from helping you with your status in this school, having me as arm candy, you don't care about me, admit it." I shook my head; she just smirked and rolled her eyes.

"And what?" She laughed. "You cared about me? C'mon Eddie you and I both know that you never really cared for me. It was a relationship of convenience."

"Exactly." I sneered, snatching my arm away, "So, what makes you think I want to go back to that?"

"You like the status it gives you. I'm just as much arm candy to you as you are to me."

"That's why you think I was with you?" I laughed. "Even if it was, which for the record, it wasn't, that still doesn't mean I'd want to go back to you, especially when I have so many other better offers." I bluffed, but, for some reason Bella flashed into my mind as I said it, I shook that thought away quickly.

"Oh my God," she whispered, looking at me as I turned away unable to meet her eyes. "Oh my fucking God! It's her isn't it?" I said nothing. "Don't tell me you actually like that little rat; you do don't you, you're falling for her!" I froze. She didn't have to say who, there was only one her that it could possibly be, I wasn't falling for her because I couldn't fall her, if I did then I would be screwed, I didn't want to hurt her as it was. Then when we nearly kissed, damn, part of me wanted to kiss my mom for interrupting before we could add fuel to the already excruciating fire. The other part wanted her to stay the hell away not giving a damn

"I have no idea what or who you're talking about." I ground out through gritted teeth, bold face lie.

"Oh come on Eddie; just admit it you falling for the little bitch, you're falling for Bella."
