Amazing

Chapter 5

BPOV

Edward lived up to his word and talked to Jasper, but he still didn't want to get back together.

It was really awkward at football games having to sit on the bench, especially when he wasn't playing.

I didn't have to worry about when we hung out, because he never came around anymore, so I was the fifth wheel.

If we were going out, they tried to invite Mike or Tyler, so I at least had someone to talk to and not feel left out and Emmett had made it clear to them, that I was "OFF LIMITS" for dating.

After three weeks, I was allowed to cheer again, but I couldn't do any crazy stunts yet, luckily Cheering Competition was a month away, I'd be ready to go by then.

The girls all worked on the routine, with Alice taking my part, for now, since she was small too, but she hated the pyramid, but did it for us.

Once I was allowed to practice again, we worked non stop, we were up against La Push this year and I knew they'd be trouble.

Competition day finally arrived and Alice had worked WONDERS on getting the most awesome cheer outfits, the girls were stoked and we had all our football players, minus one, come with us and cheer us on, the event was in Seattle.

We were last to perform and got to hear the roar and cheer of the crowd for the other groups, we'd also watched a couple, including La Push, who was good, but their timing was off a few times.

We had a mash-up of songs with Pink, Ke$ha, Katy Perry and All American Rejects, the last was a little to throw everyone off and it worked, we had the crowd standing and cheering, PLUS with our guys there, no one would beat us, if it were the crowd voting.

We waited 20 minutes for them to come back with results, when they called La Push in 2nd place, we knew we'd won, so when our name was called, we screamed like the cheerleaders we were.

We went out to celebrate, we had pizza and went dancing, yes… In our cheer uniforms!

It was the last game of the season and it was against La Push, it was to see who would go to State and play against Tacoma High.

I walked up to Jasper "Hey, good luck tonight." I smiled at him.

"Yeah, thanks." he said and just walked away.

I walked back out to the field with the others and Rose hugged me, she knew.

It was a tie at the 4th quarter and Jasper was kicking, when the play started, I was watching the La Push guys, I knew they were going after one of the three and all of a sudden there's a pile and the referee is blowing his whistle and the coaches are on the field, I see a stretcher being ran out, but couldn't see who was hurt, I only knew it wasn't Emmett because he was so much bigger than everyone else, we all ran out to the field, Rose and Alice on each side of me, incase the La Push guys tried something.

We got there and it was Jasper.

"Jasper, oh, my gosh!" I grabbed his hand and squeezed.

"Get away!" he yanked his hand away and I stood there in shock.

"Mmmm, you're all alone now Bella, want a real man?" I turned around and Sam had grabbed my ass and kissed my cheek, I shoved him and screamed, Emmett ran over and punched the shit out of him, he was pulled from the game as was Sam.

They took Jasper to the locker room and Rose followed.

Alice pulled me back to our side.

The game went on and we won by a field goal.

Everyone was going to celebrate, but I wanted to just go home and be alone.

Emmett dropped me off and made sure everything was locked up and said he wouldn't be late.

I showered and changed into my p.j's, I tried to text Jasper, but no reply.

I laid in bed and stared at my college choices, I had to make a decision by next week.

I read through everything and Googled my top choices.

Harvard it was, I'd be in Massachusetts and only about 70 miles away from Edward, so it's not like I'd be SO far away.

Harvard was THE top architecture school and I was serious about my path.

I filled out the forms and I'd mail them tomorrow.

I text my dad and told him my choice, he was VERY happy, I'd be away from Washington and we'd keep my choice a secret, except for my friends.

I went to bed with a smile on my face.

A few weeks later I got my enrollment package from Harvard, I still hadn't told my friends yet, I wanted the packet first.

I chose to live on campus and because money wasn't an issue, I was able to stay in Apley Court, the most affluent dorms there were, I'd get a single room with my own in-suite bathroom.

I had everything together to show my friends when they came over tonight.

Alice was throwing a graduation party and we were working on those plans tonight.

We were all sitting around eating pizza, Jasper was actually with us, but ignoring me, like he had been.

I was nervous because he was there, I didn't think he'd show up.

I cleared my throat and stood before my friends.

"Guys, I've made my choice of where I'm going to college, everything is finalized, dad and I fly up for orientation next week and I'll be going to Harvard." I smiled.

Rose and Alice squealed and hugged me, Edward stood and hugged me as well, Jasper stormed out and Emmett gave me a sad look, I just shrugged.

"Bells, we'll be kinda close, only a little over an hour away." Edward smiled.

"At least someone will be close." Emmett smiled.

I showed them everything I had and they were all excited to hear it, now I could wear my Harvard shirt to school, I'd got with my package.

The next few weeks flew by, orientation was great, I saw my dorm, it was occupied, but the girl who was there didn't mind me looking.

It was small, but cozy, perfect for me, it even had a little picture window with a seat that looked over the yard, so I could sit there and draw or read, I was really excited.

I finished my speech for graduation and of course ignored Jasper, he wouldn't talk to me at all, he even changed seats so we weren't sitting next to each other anymore in History.

Finally graduation day.

Emmett and I got ready, dad was so excited, he was snapping pictures like a mad man.

The day was long and exhausting, we all wanted it to be over and enjoy the party, which we did.

I was all packed and ready to move, but I had to wait a month and a half, which sucked.

I was allowed to move in early as everything that was going on was explained to the Dean and he was given copies of Jacob's restraining order, to keep on file.

Dad, Emmett and I were driving up, Rose and Alice were flying up to visit the week after and help me set up everything.

Finally the day came to leave.

All my friends were there to see me off, Rose drug Jasper. He hugged me, but didn't say anything.

I whispered in his ear "Sorry we couldn't at least remain friends. I'll always care for you." And I kissed his cheek before getting into the truck.

I had a fun weekend with my family, we learned all the good spots and my dad made sure I knew were the closest Police Station was, besides the one on campus.

Luckily because of my situation I was allowed to have a vehicle, so we also shopped for one, since Emmett and I had shared the Land Rover back home.

I wanted something simple, but that would of course get through snow, in the winters here.

I decided on a Nissan Juke, it was cool and different.

My dad and Emmett made sure it had everything, including heated seats, they were nuts, but I'm sure I'd be thanking them in winter.

After they left, I stayed in my room the next couple of days, relaxing and getting use to being alone.

The next couple of weeks flew by and I'd met some people around campus and pretty much knew my way around, I'd also found a fantastic coffee shop 2 blocks away and they served muffins almost as good as Esme's, so I lived there.

Alice and Rose arrived and we immediately went shopping.

We found everything I needed and then some…

When we got back, I made a snack run and they started on the decorating.

By the time I got they had my bed finished, curtains up and were working on hanging pictures.

Rose was about to hang one of Jasper and I, but I stopped her.

"Please, he didn't care enough to say anything to me when I left, I don't think I can handle looking at this picture all the time. If it's a group one, that's fine." I smiled.

"O.K., but please keep it." she smiled and I took it from her and placed it in my dresser.

We finished up and decided we wanted to do a simple dinner tonight and go all out tomorrow, since they left Sunday afternoon.

We found a nice little pizza place and ate there, there were a few college kids there, but since it was summer, most were gone.

We were headed back to my dorm, when my phone rang, it was silent for a minute, then a harsh laugh came through, which I automatically knew was Jake.

I dropped my phone and started to hyperventilate.

Rose pulled me to a bench while Alice gather my phone and they came to sit by me.

"It-it was Jake." I said and stared ahead.

Rose whipped out her phone and called Emmett.

I could hear Rose, but not Emmett.

She hung up after a few minutes.

"Your dad said to turn your phone off, so they don't try and trace it and go get a new number tomorrow. Only giving it to us and them and of course the school." she smiled. "Also, Emmett said that Jake is still in town, he just saw him yesterday, so he doesn't know where you are, he just still has your number." she patted my hand.

We got up and walked back to my dorm.

Alice fixed me a cup of tea and we watched movies in my bed, until we fell asleep.

The next day, we lounged around until it was time to go out.

Of course I was Bella Barbie for one last time, or until we saw each other again, I did get away with skinny jeans and a deep purple halter top that plunged a little to low for me, but they assured me it was fine and black heels.

Rose of course wore a much to short black leather skirt and a white lace top with a black silky bra underneath, and black stilettos.

Alice, well, she was Alice… She had on cute green halter dress, that came to mid thigh and these crazy green and black stripped stilettos.

We grabbed our bags and headed out, taking a cab to be safe.

We ate dinner at a wonderful steak house and some man ended up buying our meal for us, thanks to Rose, she was such a flirt, but loved my brother, she just did it to rile men up.

We of course took pictures and sent them to Emmett and Edward.

Emmett called back screaming at Rose, but she quickly but him in his place, he conceded and told us to be careful, Edward text back saying we all looked 'HOT' and to be careful.

We went to a club that I'd heard on campus was the place to be seen at, it was called Imagination and when you walked in you could see why.

It looked like Alice in Wonderland in the entrance and then inside, it was kind of like Willy Wonka's place, the one with Johnny Depp.

It had a waterfall behind the bar and a spinning dance floor, it was awesome.

We immediately went to dance, we had to work off that huge dinner.

We ended up having a blast and I knew I'd be coming back again.

We climbed into bed around 3am and fell fast sleep.

When we woke up we had enough time to shower before I had to take Rose and Alice to the airport.

We said our tearful goodbyes and promised to get together at Spring Break.

The next week dragged on, I pretty much stayed in my apartment, only going out to the coffee shop.

It was Thursday afternoon and a knock on my door startled me.

I got up and opened it, thanking my dad for putting on a safety latch.

I peeked outside and saw Edward.

I flung the door open and gave him a huge hug.

"Hey! What brings you here?" I smiled, leading him in.

"Well, I have orientation next week and so we moved me this week and I wanted to stop by and see you." he smiled.

We sat and chatted for a while and then he offered to take me to dinner.

I told him he could sleep on the futon, if he wanted instead of driving back and we could watch a movie, he readily agreed.

We found a movie and settled in, it was weird, but nice, I'd known Edward my entire life and so we were comfortable around each other.

When we woke up the next morning, I took him to the coffee shop, which he just loved.

We talked about nerves and being separated from everyone and asked if we could meet up every other weekend or so, alternating coming to each others, I agreed, since I didn't make friends easily and wouldn't be stuck alone all the time.

We walked back to my dorm and he grabbed his stuff, hugged me bye and told me he'd call with the next set of plans.

School was going great, every other week, Edward and I saw each other and since it was approaching Christmas and we were both going home, he said he'd drive to me and we'd fly out together, that way I wouldn't have to be at the airport alone, in case Jake had somehow figured out I was coming home.

We had a great flight and Emmett was there to pick us up.

Alice and Rose weren't coming home and no one had heard from Jasper, so it was a good bet he wasn't either.

We all hung out together during the holidays and it was nice and fairly quiet.

We had a few hang up calls and I'd had one run in with Leah while shopping with the guys in Port Angeles, but all she did was call me names and stormed out of the store.

It was time to go back, so Emmett drove us again, since he was going back to school anyway.

Edward stayed with me the first night back and that's when things changed, we were watching a movie and I was laying in his lap, he was lazily running his fingers through my hair and then started caressing my face every so often.

I sat up and we just stared into each others eyes, until he leaned in to kiss me.

It wasn't fireworks, but it was nice.

We ended up making out like horny 14 year olds, before we both pulled away and apologized, I went to bed and when I woke up in the morning, he was gone, but there was a carnation, coffee and muffin along with a note on my table.

"Bella, I'm not going to apologize for last night, I take it back. I enjoyed the kiss and I enjoy being with you. I hope that you'll feel the same and we can see each other more than twice a month. Please think about it and call me soon. Hugs and Kisses~ E"

I was stunned to say the least, I thought it would say it was all a mistake and we shouldn't see each other, I thought he was still in love with Alice.

I waited to call him until Wednesday night, I had to think it over and I wanted to talk to Alice as well, it wouldn't be right seeing Edward, if my friend still had the hots for him.

Alice squealed into the phone and told me it was fine, she was glad I had someone with me.

We chatted for a little longer and then I sat on my bed, thinking about my next call.
