Here's chapter 5 hope you guys like it!
Knock knock
"Ms. Bella a Mr. Edward is here. He says he's here to pick you up."
"Thanks Gloria tell him I'll be right out."
I gave myself a once over for the last time before heading out. I got to the living room and he wasn't there.
Weird…..
Gloria didn't you say Edward was here?" I ask/yell
"Yes he's outside" she says coming into the room.
"Didn't he want to come inside?"
"Uh" Gloria says looking guilty
No she couldn't have.
"I'm sorry Ms. Bella but he looks like a good for nothing scoundrel so I didn't offer him to come in. You shouldn't be associating with those types of people Ms. Bella"
"Gloria!" I admonish "That's my boyfriend you're talking about! I don't want a repeat of this ok? Next time he comes here you'll treat him like a guest. How you were taught!"
"But…but.."
I raise an eyebrow
She takes a deep breath
"Yes Ms. Bella"
I head towards the door. Oh god Edward looks angry.
"I'm so sorry Edward Gloria shouldn't have"
"About what? The way your maid treated me? Don't sweat it"
"I promise it won't happen again"
"Whatever"
"How do I look" I ask nervously.
He looks at me up and down.
"Good…you aren't going to ask me that every morning are you?"
"Can't I"
How the hell would I know if what I was wearing was good if he didn't tell me!
He laughs
"You've got to have more confidence in yourself Bella. As long as you look and feel beautiful then whatever you're wearing is ok."
"But what about the girls in your group they wear a certain type of clothing"
"Screw them and everyone else what matters is you"
"Thanks" I say
He isn't so bad…
"Come on get in and let's go"
"Did you get in trouble?" I ask getting in "with your parents I mean"
"None of your business" he says suddenly angry again.
"I was just asking" I say in a quiet voice.
Never mind what I said before he's mean.
"Yeah you're right I'm sorry Bella it's just a touchy subject. I'm still pissed for getting chewed out by my dad yesterday but that's not your fault"
"It's ok"
"No it's not and once again I'm sorry."
"It must be nice"
"What getting in trouble?" he asks looking at me like I'm crazy.
"No" I say smiling sadly "not really but having your parents there when you get home….it must be nice. Don't get me wrong I know my parents care and they're very present in my life but I just wish that"
"They were around more. That they showed that they cared" Edward finished for me. "I've always wondered about that. If you were really so ok about your parents not being around. It sounds so cool on the surface but when you have to live it day in day out alone it really gets to you doesn't? The loneliness I mean"
I smile
"I've learned to live with it but yeah sometimes it is too much but luckily I ….have or had, I don't really know right now, but Jake always knew how to make things better maybe because he lives it himself"
"You guys have been friends your entire lives Bella you won't lose him, at least as a friend, just because of this" Edward assures me.
"Yeah I guess."
"I'm sorry you got in trouble because of me" I say remorsefully
"It's not your fault I knew better."
"We're almost there so put on your happy face" he says after a few minutes.
I put a smile on my face and try to forget all the sad thoughts going on in my head.
Once we park Edward gets out of the car and opens my door.
"Thank you"
"My pleasure" he says before leaning in "I'm going to kiss you" he says quietly when his face is just a couple of inches from my face.
We kiss for literally 5 minutes.
"Oh will you 2 get a room" says someone from behind Edward.
Edward pulls away and puts an arm around me.
"Shut up Riley"
"Yes sir!" Riley says giving him a mock salute.
Everyone laughs.
"Edward we need to talk about James" says Felix
Everyone's laughter dies down immediately and Edward is angry all of a sudden.
"Not now Felix" he hisses
"But" Felix Protests.
"I said not now!"
Edward's so loud and angry that he makes us all jump.
"Come on Bella let's get you to class ok" Edward says softly.
Even though he talked to me softly I can tell he's still angry and tense.
I just nod.
We all turn and head towards the entrance. And when I say all I mean all of us. The gang never separates from Edward never.
Just like yesterday as soon as we enter the building the whole school starts buzzing.
"Hey there's Bella did you hear what happened yesterday after school?"
"What happened?"
"Jake just wanted to talk to her you know probably know if she was ok but she completely ignored him ungrateful bi…friend. Poor Jake was just worried"
"Wait she ignored Jake? Really?"
"I know big shocker right"
"Guess she really cares about Edward"
I smiled.
They were so easily fooled how could they believe so fast that I had forgotten about Jake?
"I say she's using Edward"
How did Edward end up the victim?
"Here we are Ms. Wilson's English class" Edward announces "I don't know how you do it Bella, I can hardly think right now."
"You're such a liar"
"Ok yeah you're right I am but fuck I couldn't do English right now"
He leans in.
"I'm going to kiss you" he whispers when he's inches from my face.
Our lips move in sync. Is it just me or is it getting easier to kiss Edward?
He pulls away.
"Wait" I say wrapping my arms around his neck holding him close.
"What" he whispers.
"How did you end up the victim and I the bad guy" I ask
Had he been spreading rumors or something?
"What?" he asks confused
"There were some girls talking and one of them said they thought I was using you"
Edward laughs out loud.
I let go of him.
I should've known…well at least it served to relieve the tension…
"I have no clue how that happened but that shit's hilarious" he says loudly
"Yeah it is" I mutter
As if my image wasn't bad enough.
"Don't worry Bella that person's stupid" he says quietly "don't listen to rumors they'll make you miserable. You'll never be able to please everyone."
"I know and I'll try but I can't help it though I want to know if our plan is working" I whisper
"It's working" he whispers "Ja…he went didn't he? About the rest of them screw them."
"See you" he says louder.
"Bye"
I turn and go into class.
I try to listen to Edward and ignore others but it's not so easy when they say it deliberately so you can hear them.
"Bella's such a slut. I can't believe she slept with Edward."
"How could she stoop so low"
"No wonder Jake never wanted her; he always knew what she really was."
The whispers and insults got louder as the day went on, but they weren't stupid they only said those thing when Edward wasn't around.
They hurt. I know these people didn't matter but the things they said were hurtful.
By the time lunch rolled around I just wanted to go home.
Edward was unusually quiet on the way to the cafeteria.
When we entered all conversation stopped.
I rolled my eyes.
Could they be any more obvious?
Edward stops us right in front of the whole cafeteria.
I look up at him questioningly but he isn't looking at me. He's staring straight ahead with a very serious look on his face.
I notice 2 of Edward's guys at the door. Felix and Demetri.
Everyone is staring at us. What is he doing?
"Think this is enough Richie" he asks without turning back
"I think so. The main ones are all here" Richie responds.
"Go get one each" Edward orders.
All 13 girls from Edward's gang walk past us and each drag a girl, by the hair, to where we are.
I recognize them easy enough. Lauren, Jessica and the rest of their posse, the ones that have been saying things about me.
I hear the doors close. I turn and see that Felix and Demetri have locked the room and are blocking the entrance.
"I will not have Bella insulted like has been so far. The only reason you made it this far is because I hadn't found out about it till a couple of minutes ago." Edward says loudly to the whole cafeteria.
"Now you bitches will be an example" Edward says to the 13 girls in front of us. "Kneel and apologize to her immediately"
"You heard him" Rosalie yells "kneel!"
The girls kick Lauren and her posse in the knees when they don't do so immediately.
"Sorry Bella" they all say.
"That didn't sound right did it Rose?" Edward asks
Rosalie shakes her head.
"I want to hear you Beg for her forgiveness" Edward orders
Various forms of "I'm sorry Bella" and 'please forgive us Bella" sound all at once.
"Still not convincing enough" Edward says "besides what's to stop you from doing it again. And then there's the rest of the student body to consider as well"
"What should we do…..oh I got it!"
What is Edward going to do?
He doesn't say anything he just nods and suddenly Edwards's girls start beating up Lauren and her posse.
He turns to the rest of the lunch room.
"Make this a lesson to all of you! Don't talk about Bella! You will all show her the respect she deserves! And if not then I've got ways of dealing with you right guys" he says turning the rest of his gang,
They all step forward some of them even crack their knuckles.
"Come on Bella let's get out of here" he says grabbing my hand.
Felix and Demetri open the door for us and step aside.
I turn and the Lauren and the other girls on the floor all bloodied and bruised.
Edward takes us to the bleachers and sits us far away from everyone else.
"Thank you" I say when I realize we're alone. "Thank you for standing up for me. I don't approve of how you did it but thanks" I say sobbing.
Edward hugs me and I burry my face in his chest.
"I don't want you to think that just because you're with me that you have to take shit. I may not be Jacob and we may not be great friends but if anyone ever does anything to you and I do mean anything you can come to me and I'll take care of it ok"
I nod
"Once again thanks"
"It's the least I can do. After all they're talking about you because you slept with me" he says sadly. "They're idiots though so don't take what they say to heart ok?"
Edward holds me until I finish crying.
"I just remembered" I say wanting to brighten the mood "someone stole my pen last period are you going to beat them up too?" I ask laughing.
"Maybe" he laughs "come on let's eat I'm starving!"
He hands me a bag. I guess someone bought us something while I was crying. Once again we eat alone and make each other laugh occasionally.
Edward really isn't such a bad guy…
Yeah then why did he practically rape you screams a voice in my head.
Hope you guys like it. Please tell me what you think .
