Loving you was easy

Thought you'd never leave me

Wrapped around my finger

See ya when I see ya

Yeah, yeah

Now I'm hearing that you've been running around

I didn't think I'd miss you now I'm feeling like a fool

BPOV

Yesterday had been a horrible day. Edward had technically cheated on me by sleeping with Heidi but he really hadn't. He had to sleep with her because it was part of initiation. Whether it was his idea or not is not important because that's how things are now and I have to accept it even if I don't like it. Besides we weren't actually going out so I have no right to be angry at him. I'm not excusing my pain because what he did hurt me as a woman I mean if you were going out with someone, for real or otherwise, wouldn't you be hurt if he slept with another girl?

I had been disappointed both at Edward and myself. I had been stupid for not putting things together sooner really stupid. I was disappointed that Edward wasn't upfront about it, and for not calling me yesterday not even a text to ask me how I was doing.

I have decided to put it behind me though and move on partly because I need him to get Jacob back but also because I want him to come over tonight maybe if he realizes I'm ok with it he'll come over and you don't have to say it I know I'm pathetic.

I sighed as I looked at myself again. For today I had chosen studded black flats, white-washed skinny jeans, a grey Minnie and Mickey shirt, and a black quarter length sleeved leather jacket. I had put on some eye-liner and some mascara along with lip gloss and I had to admit I looked good.

I laugh

"Miss Bella" Gloria says coming into my bedroom "he's here" she says with disgust I didn't have to ask who she mean by 'he' I knew she meant Edward "would you like me to send him away? We could call Mr. Jacob and"

"No its ok" I say grabbing my bag and heading out the door.

Gloria didn't know what had happened yesterday all she knew was that Edward had hurt me really badly which was unforgivable. Edward had lost all points he had ever made with her.

"Hey" I say smiling a little "fancy seeing you here"

"Hey" he says getting up from the hood of his car awkwardly "yeah I thought I should make up for what happened yesterday. I'm sorry I didn't call I just wanted to give you some space."

It didn't escape my notice that he hadn't apologized for sleeping with Heidi in the first place that's good though I didn't expect him to.

"Thank you for the space though I didn't need it, but it's actually good that you didn't come over" I say the hurt apparent even to my own ears.

Damn it! I didn't want to sound hurt.

"Bella" he begins in an apologetic tone

"No I actually mean it" I insist sincerely "Jake was here yesterday you know trying to make me feel better and all and if you had been here well things would've been awkward and he might have gotten hurt."

"Yeah if we ever get into a fight I'll definitely beat him up" he laughs sounding amused by the idea "So last time you wore make-up things weren't good should I be worried?" he asks concerned.

"No" I answer him truthfully "I let everything out yesterday and while I know you didn't really cheat on me because we're not really together and because it's in the guidelines it still hurt me as a woman. I don't like how the situation is right now but I've accepted it and I know some people won't like that I 'took you back so easily' but screw them right?" I finish smiling.

"Right" he agrees smiling back.

"Now I think we should get going because we might be late" I say getting into his car.

He laughs

"Just when I was thinking I had finally changed you" he says getting into the driver's seat.

"Hey I might be learning not to give a damn about what other people think and to not let them rule my life but I'm still going to be a good student. Besides I already ditched yesterday" I shrug.

"My little rebel" he says turning to smile at me.

I smile back blushing a little at the 'my' part.

"I have a request" I say getting serious again "I know I don't really have any right to ask you this but could you please keep Heidi out of my sight?"

"Of course" he says smiling reassuringly "I was already planning to do something with her anyway not only because of you but also because Rose hates her."
"She does?"

"Yeah" he laughs "they actually got into a fight yesterday. Rose beat her up pretty badly so Heidi isn't coming to school today."

"Wow that bad?" I asked finding a whole new respect for Rosalie.

"Yup" he nods "Rose should also do the same and stay home today and take the time to recover but well in her own words she 'isn't going to give that bitch the satisfaction' even though that 'bitch' isn't going to be there to gloat about it but well she's Rose" he shrugs.

When we got to school I saw just how determined Rose was to appear like she was fine. She was wearing jeans, which was unusual in and of itself, a sweater and just a little too much make-up. She didn't look bad or unsexy in any way just a bit different.

"Why did they fight anyway?" I ask slightly curious.

"It was really my fault" he says looking ahead in a weird dramatic way "I'm too cute" he sighs and turns to look at me smiling.

"Whatever" I say smiling back. I turn around and make it seem like I'm going to leave but before I can take the first step Edward puts his arms around me holding me back.

"Don't leave" he whispers huskily into my ear "why don't we give everyone a show and show them just how good things are between us? They're already staring at us why don't we give them something to really look at?"

His husky voice makes me shiver.

"Ok" I say weakly.

He turns me around and caresses my cheek a little and looks deeply into my eyes before leaning in and kissing me hungrily. All other thoughts are blown away except damn he's such a good kisser and I don't want this to ever end.

Abruptly he pulls away.

I frown missing his lips instantly.

"What's wrong?" I ask

"Somebody's watching us" he says looking around.

"Well yeah" I say looking around "I thought that was the point"

"No not anyone of them somebody else" he says still looking around "Jasper!" he yells "go look around. I feel like someone's watching us." He instructs Jasper quietly when he comes closer.

"Do you really think that someone's watching us?" I ask starting to feel uneasy.

"Yes but don't worry I won't let anything happen to you" he assures me holding me tighter. "Come on let's get out of here."

We head to my first period class but not before I catch Jake's disapproving gaze.

I sigh

I knew he would be one of the people that would disapprove.

EPOV

Once inside the school building I feel at ease. Whoever it was that was watching us didn't have any eyes inside.

"We're safe" I tell Bella and she relaxes a bit

"Are you sure?" she asks still a bit worried

"Positive" I say smiling down at her "now it's too early for you to go inside. Shall we continue where we left off?" I don't wait for her response but she doesn't push me away so I take that as a sign that she isn't against the idea.

Our lips meet and it's sweet ecstasy having her lips in mine. I'm barely able to hold back the moan of pleasure of having her so close to me. When her hands go to my head and she starts running her fingers through my hair I lose that battle and push her up against the wall and kiss her more fervently.

"MR. CULLEN! MISS SWAN! Stop this exhibitionism right now!" Mr. Snow, Bella's English teacher, says sounding irritated.

"Sorry Mr. Snow" Bella says breathlessly quickly pulling away.

When Bella looks around and sees that there are a lot of students around staring at us she blushes tomato red and tries to hide her face in my chest.

"Alright everyone get to class" he says to the others students. They reluctantly go away "I'll see you inside Miss Swan. If I have to come out and get you you'll both be paying a visit to the principal"

"God that was embarrassing!" Bella whispers as soon as Mr. Snow is gone. "Do I really have to go inside?" she asks burring her face into me chest.

"No you don't have to" I say comforting her "you could always ditch. Heck I could ditch with you so you won't be lonely but then Mr. Snow and everyone else would wrongly assume we've gone to have sex which since it's me we're talking about wouldn't be that farfetched and it would be true with any other girl" I shrug "it's up to you"

"I hate you" She groans "you're supposed to be the bad student remember? The one that encourages me to ditch class."

I smile

"It's alright" she says sighing and reluctantly pulling away "I'll suffer through it" she pouts cutely

"If that's what you want" I say shrugging "but that's probably for the best after all you did say that you still wanted to be a good student."
"Bye" she grumbles.

She gives me a peck on the lips then takes a deep breath before going in.

I turn and head to my calculus class. Jasper's there waiting for me by the door.

"Did you see anybody?" I ask

"No, but there was definitely someone in one of the bushes close to where you guys were because I saw some footprints. Whoever it was that was there must've sensed that he or she was found out and fled."

"Who could it have been though? Do you think it might have been a spy from one of the other families?" I ask feeling a bit uneasy. If someone from the other families was suspicious and told the council I would be in big trouble.

"None of the other families have any reason to suspect but"

"But what?" I ask when he doesn't continue.

"I just got a call from the rehab facility we put James in and they told me he checked himself out."

"This is bad. Bella might be in danger"

'Not only Bella. If James decides to talk about Bella being with us and not being in the gang you'll be in serious trouble Edward. The last time something like this happened both were tortured and killed."

"Charles Swan is a very influential person and could come after them" I say mostly to myself.

"Yes and if that's the case then that only leaves you and you know none of us can do anything. We would have to abide by their verdict since we all know the rules."
"I know but that's not important right now. Right now we have to worry about Bella."

"Maybe you shouldn't go to Bella's tonight. Cancel your date."

"No I can't do that to her. I have to go" I say ignoring the date part since we both knew it wasn't and could never be a date "for now tell everyone to be on high alert and be on the lookout for anything suspicious."

"But" Jasper tries to argue.

"Just do it" I command.

Things are getting dangerous. Last time I had seen James he had seemed pretty obsessed with Bella and what might happen to her and me for being together. He had said he was "just curious" but I suspect otherwise after all the last person to do what I was doing had been his friend and even though he spoke on his behalf the council members didn't change their minds and executed both of them. Everyone knew that Aro Volturi had a soft spot for me and I'm guessing James wanted to get revenge for his friend through me. It was useless though because I knew that if Aro ever found out he would be the first one pronounce me guilty so in the end it wasn't much of a revenge.

The council was a group of head mafia bosses that tried to regulate things so we wouldn't go to jail and to stop feuds. It's not perfect and I doubt that it will work for much longer but that's how things are.

The day was uneventful. I got a couple of stares mostly from guys who had seen or heard of what had happened this morning with me and Edward. They were undressing me with their eyes and it sort of creeped me out but as soon as Edward or Jasper glared their way they stopped.

Everyone was a bit serious today maybe a little jumpy. I saw Jasper and everyone else looking around a lot.

During lunch I found out why Rosalie had beat up Heidi, because of how she was looking at Edward and it had been right after we left. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a bit happy about it. Before I could figure out if it was appropriate to thank her she told me to not think she had done it for my sake so I just nodded instead.

I knew Jake would find a way to talk to me. He had been giving me disapproving looks all day and he bid his time well until he got his chance.

"Bella" he called after gym class.

I sighed and turned around knowing I should get this over with,

"Yes Jake" I say resigned.

"Why?" he asks "why did you take him back so easily?"

Because I need him to get you back

"Because I love him and I forgave him" the last part was true at least.

"How? How could you forgive him so easily after how much he hurt you? How could you let him kiss you like that in front of everyone like some"

"Jake don't!" I warned

"Don't what Bella?"

"Don't you dare judge me! It's MY life and I can do whatever I want! Leave me to make my own decisions even if you think they might be bad ones because at least then I won't have any more regrets. I'll know it's only my fault for DOING that. We all learn from our mistakes Jake please leave me to make my own. Besides I remember you making some not so good decisions yourself and I don't remember ever judging or criticizing you. I always let you do what you wanted please offer me the same courtesy"

"Alright" he says resigned after a while.

"Thank you" I say smiling at him "not only for right now but also for yesterday. Thank you for caring about me"

I turn to leave.

I don't know where all that came from. It kinda scares me sometimes how I can lie so easily and say things like this without consciously thinking about it first. Edward is a bad influence on me I guess.

The last thought makes me smile

EPOV

Date night. When Jasper had first referred to Bella's and mine's weekly movie night as a date I had thought 'how nice it would be to go on a date with Bella' but looking on it now it kind of was like a date. I mean we didn't go out but we watched a movie and shared some popcorn, and we also had dinner together so it was kind of like a date right?

Being with Bella was great. I had so much fun with her and it was so relaxing to be around her.

I had been afraid that things would be awkward tonight but she had surprised me she was as relaxed and I guess you call it affectionate as ever. Even now she was sleeping against my shoulder completely at ease with me.

I sigh and continue watching her for a bit longer.

"She's asleep" Gloria says stand-offishly "I'll go get a manservant to take her to her room."

"No I'll take her" I say

"You don't have to" she says. She had been trying to cut any sort of affection or touch me and Bella shared all day. I guess she had heard some of what I had done and I couldn't blame her acting the way she had towards me.

"Please" I say giving her a pleading look. "Please let me take her. I'll be right out I promise."

"Alright" she concedes

"Thank you"

I get up and pick her up gently. I carry her up the stairs. I lay her gently on her bed and cover her up with her blankets and sit down beside her on the bed. I caress her cheek and it makes my heart beat faster when she leans into it.

"Why do I feel like I'm going to lose you very soon? I shouldn't be this scared of losing you and yet" and yet that's exactly what I have to do because if James or someone else from one of the families is spying on us you'll be in great danger and I have to push you away for your own good. Even though I don't want to let you go yet if the opportunity presents itself I'll do it even if it breaks my heart. "I love you Bella" I lean in and kiss her cheek.

I get up and head out the door. Gloria is outside.

"Sorry I didn't mean to hear your declaration" she says looking down.

"It's ok" I say

"Do you really mean that?" she asks "do you really love Miss Bella?"

"Yes" I admit "but I don't think we can ever be together at least not in the long run."

She nods.

Did she know? About Bella and mine's arrangement? No that couldn't be it right? I mean why would Bella tell her? And if she knew Bella wouldn't be so affectionate in front of her. Then why did she agree when I told her Bella and I wouldn't be together in the long run so easily?

JPOV (Saturday)

I have been dumb and a jack ass. When our parents had told us at the age of 5 about our engagement, they probably told us as soon as they did it but I have no recollection of it, I had been pretty happy I mean I was 5 after all and Bella and I had known each other since ever. I didn't know what being married was. Once we started kindergarten and I found other boys I could play all the games I had always wanted to play but could because I didn't want to hurt Bella I was thrilled. I was so happy that I went off to play with them and left Bella all alone. That was the first time in a long line of times I ditched and hurt Bella's feelings. Once I hit puberty and started noticing girls I ditched Bella even more. I think that hurt her even more that I was ditching her to be with other girls. If she knew the real reason why I went out with so many girls she would probably hate me, so I've never told her that I didn't want to get married and only have had kissed or had sex with one girl. I wanted to experience life and have fun with others even though I knew she was always there waiting for me to look her way. I have always known that Bella was in love with me, I mean it's not like she can her feelings from me, and I have always thought that she would be there when I was done having fun. See why I said I was a jack ass?

When Bella first started going out with Edward I wasn't so worried. I was shocked but I thought that she just wanted to "experience life" with someone else like I had. Gloria had asked me to do something but I wasn't done having fun with Tanya yet and I honestly thought it would be good for Bella. I'm starting to worry now. You see I had forgotten that Bella isn't like me and I think she's starting to develop real feelings for Edward. I think I might lose her and that scares me. What will I do if that's the case? Whenever I thought about my future Bella was always in it.

My phone buzzes in my pocket.

"Hello" I answer

"Jacob how are you son?" my dad asks

I instantly feel unease. My dad doesn't call me just to say hi.

"I'm fine dad" I answer my voice sounding stiff due to my nerves "how are you and mom? Where are you guys right now?"

"We're fine and where we are is beside the point. I'll get down to it you know I don't like to beat around the bush. We have some pictures here and we see Bella wearing different clothes and hanging out with different people. Who are they and why aren't you with her?"

"Are you guys spying on us again?" I ask angrily

"Answer the question Jacob"

"Fine! Bella's trying out a new style, which I like, and hanging out with some new friends, which I approve of" I lie. I didn't like her hanging out with Edward and his gang but if I say that they'll take immediate action even if they're half way around the world.

"I don't know we don't like it. She seems awfully close to one of the boys in the group. Turn on your laptop we'll send you the pictures so you can tell us who it is." he orders

I knew it was Edward. I didn't have to look at pictures but I turned on my laptop anyway because I wanted to know which day or days they had been spying on us.

It was Thursday the day Bella had worn that leather Jacket and had kissed him so passionately on the school parking lot.

It was a picture of Bella and Edward hugging each other.

"Why does that young man have his arms around your fiancé?" My dad asks

"That's the way she greets people now" I lie again.

"Who is he? He doesn't look like a nice young man or anyone she should be associating herself with."

"His name is Edward and he's alright. I told you that I approve of them and I know he wouldn't let anything happen to her"

"Like I said we don't like him. He seems to be too affectionate with her and we don't like the way he looks at her. and Jacob when I say 'we' I don't just mean your mother and I, I also mean Charlie and Renee."

"Well it's not up to you guys now is it?" I say irritated "it's up to me and I say she's fine and besides she still loves me and that's the only thing you guys care about isn't it?"

"I'll send you the rest of the pictures we have maybe you'll change your mind once you see them." He says ignoring my question and hangs up.

Soon after I get another email with more pictures and I'm surprised. Thankfully the pictures are only of that day and there are no pictures of them kissing. Whoever it was that took these must be on our side and didn't give them any of those.

I try calling Bella but she doesn't pick up.

I'll tell her Monday. I'll ask her to hold off on the PDA. I hope she listens to me.

Thank you for reading and I'm sorry for taking so long to update. What do you guys think about Jacob and their parents? Parents are going to be paying their kids a visit what will happen? Any predictions? Also I think theirs only like 2 or 3 chapters left…. Please let me know what you think
