Return to Forks
Chapter 11
EPOV
I can't believe I lied to Bella about my grandmother's jewels.
I knew I'd have to tell her sooner or later, but I was hoping on the later part.
I thought Rose and Alice were going to blow it this morning, but NO! It was fucking Tanya who does it!
She locked herself in the bathroom and wouldn't come out, I had to get to class and hope for the best and talk to her at lunch.
"What the fuck did you do to my sister?" Dmitri slammed me against the wall as soon as I entered the lunchroom.
"What are you talking about?" I asked puzzled. "Where is she? She was in the bathroom when I went to class this morning." I said.
"Dad called me and told me Bella went home 'sick' today. He said she sounded like she'd been crying and I know you two were arguing over the jewelry you gave her this morning. He's concerned she might have a set back! So, I'm leaving after lunch to go check on her and so help me God if she's done anything, I'm kicking your ass, Cullen!" Dmitri threatened, but I knew it was a promise.
"Can I come with you? I feel terrible for lying to her over some jewelry and want to explain to her." I begged.
"Fine, call your parents, but I'm leaving in 30 minutes with or without you." Dmitri growled and sat back at the table.
I called my mom and told her what happened.
She was frantic as well.
She told me I was allowed to go and hoped Bella was alright.
I told Dmitri I was allowed and so after lunch, we took our cars and headed out.
We arrived at the same time, I saw the bag with a note to me on the table, but didn't stop, we both headed upstairs and burst into her room, we didn't see anything, but we heard music in the bathroom and my heart fell, Oh, God, what did she do?, was the first thing through my head.
Dmitri and I burst through the door to see her wrapped in a towel, crying on the floor.
Dmitri looked at me and backed out of the room.
I sat down beside her and pulled her into my lap.
"Bella. I didn't mean for you to get hurt. I just knew you wouldn't take it if I told you they were real diamonds and I really knew you wouldn't take it if you knew it was a family heirloom." I pressed a kiss to her head.
"Edward, I can't believe you lied to me. You're like all the others. I thought you were different and you're not! We were so happy and then you lied. How will I ever trust you again?" she shouted and pushed off me, running out of the bathroom.
Dmitri was standing there waiting with open arms for his sister.
"It's O.K., Bells. I'm going to go get you some meds and you change. I'll show Edward out." he spat my name at the end.
I hung my head and whispered " I do love you Bella." as I walked away.
"You don't lie to the ones you love." she whispered back.
I grabbed the bag and walked out, my heart breaking.
As I walked in my house, my mom ran up and asked if Bella was O.K. and I told her physically yes, but I'd hurt her mentally like everyone else by lying to her and not telling her the truth about the jewelry.
I told my mom I'd be skipping dinner, I just wanted to be left alone, especially Alice.
I locked my door and grabbed the picture of Bella and I from the Holidays, we were so happy just two months ago and here it is almost Valentine's day and she wouldn't be mine.
I laid on my bed and cried myself to sleep.
BPOV
Dmitri held me until I cried myself to sleep.
I was woke up by my dad sitting on my bed, caressing my hair.
"Bells, talk to me please. You can't keep this bottled up." he begged.
So I sat up and told him everything that happened.
"Oh, Bella. I don't think he meant it to hurt you. We all know how you hate being fussed over. You don't even want me to buy you a car because the boy have one. So, you think Edward was even going to dare tell you those were rare and antique diamonds he was putting on you? Oh baby girl!" my dad hugged me.
"But dad, he lied." I sobbed.
"Bells, he only fibbed. It's not a HUGE lie. It was just because he knows you don't like all those fancy things. Carlisle and Esme love you and they see you've brought out the best in Edward or I can guarantee you, they wouldn't have let him give you that jewelry. You've got to be something special. A keeper." My dad smiled.
"I guess you're right dad. It was just overwhelming. Tanya was talking down about me and then the jewelry and all I could think in my head is LIAR! Why Dad? Why?" I held on to him and cried myself to sleep.
I awoke the next morning and felt pretty horrible.
My head hurt and my body was throbbing from crying so much.
I text Alice and told her I needed her.
She sent me a huge smile and said she'd be there in 10 minutes.
I showered and got dressed, threw my hair in a neat ponytail and Alice arrived and did my makeup.
"Bells, you look like shit. But if it makes you feel better, Edward looks worse and he won't be able to cover his with makeup." she smiled proudly.
"He didn't sleep well? I asked.
'Nope, Not at all." she smirked.
"Well now I feel even worse." I sat on my bed.
"Bell, come on. Let's get you together and you can get to school and kiss and makeup." she smiled.
"He's not going to want me back." I sighed.
"Bell, he didn't cry himself to sleep over nothing. Now, come on!" she pulled me into the bathroom and got me together.
Felix drove us to school, I was a nervous wreck, knowing I'd hurt him so much yesterday.
We pulled up and his car wasn't there.
"Ali, you said he'd be here." I whined.
"He was right behind me. Maybe he just stopped for coffee, I told you he didn't sleep good." she pulled me to first period.
I came to my locker before lunch and it was covered in balloons and paper flowers.
I had a huge smile on my face, I looked around for Edward but didn't see him anywhere.
Alice came up and squealed.
"He listened to me after all." she bounced.
"You told him to do this?" I smiled.
"Well, not THIS! I told him to send you TONS of flowers, but this is a start." she rolled her eyes.
I took out my phone and took a picture.
Alice shoved me over to my locker and took a picture with her phone and I guess sent it to him, I wanted to thank him in person, I couldn't wait to get to lunch.
Alice and I walked in the lunch room and everyone was at the table, including a huge bouquet of wild flowers and boxes of pizza, from my favorite pizza place.
I was standing there, in shock, tears coming down my face, he'd done this all for me, he really does love me.
Alice opened the top pizza and 'sorry' was spelled out in pepperoni.
I was full on crying now, Alice was snapping pictures right and left of me, but still no Edward.
"Bella, can we eat NOW." the guys grumbled.
I just shook my head and went to sit down, before a pair of arms wrapped around me.
Edward.
I smiled as he squeezed me from behind and kissed my neck, Alice was picture happy again.
I turned around and kissed him with all that I had.
"Edward, I am so sorry. I didn't mean to react that way, I do need to start trusting you, you above all others, I really…" he cut me off with another kiss.
"Cullen I didn't beat your ass yesterday, but I surely will today if you don't get your hands off my sister's ass!" Dmitri growled through a mouth full of pizza.
Edward chuckled and sat in the chair, pulling me in his lap.
"I don't want to lose a second with you." he whispered in my ear, sending shivers down my spine.
He fed me pizza and we kissed all throughout lunch.
"Thank you for making me happy again Edward." I kissed him as we were leaving for class.
"Get a room!" boomed Emmett.
"Damn it! That hurt!" We look over and see Felix shaking out his fist and Emmett rubbing his arm.
"Don't let me here you talking like that about my sister again." Felix growled.
"Well, damn, everyone at this table has had sex EXCEPT Bella! I didn't think it was that big of a deal!" Emmett snapped.
Rose hit him upside the head.
"Damn babe! What did I do now!" he grumbled.
"Not everyone is a horndog like you!" she smiled and winked at him and he grabbed her in a kiss.
Everyone laughed and Edward walked me to class.
"I liked the picture Alice took of you by your locker. It's my new screen saver. When I saw that smile, I knew we were going to be good. I love you Bella." he kissed me again and then sprinted off to class.
Alice tugged on my shirt to bring me out of my daze.
Jasper was there and chuckled.
"Man, I was thinking I might have a chance." he joked.
"Ha, Ha, Jasper. Who's your lay of the week." Alice asked.
"No one. I'm having a week of celibacy, kind of like you ladies do, when you have your Aunt Flo visit, you know, but I've got no problems, I just don't want to use them all up." he smiled his killer smile.
"So, basically you were turned down this week." I said dryly.
"Bells, my heart, it's breaking." he smiled that devious smile.
We finished History and then it was my one and only class with Edward, Biology.
He met me outside of History and I told him about Jasper and he laughed.
We walked hand in hand to Bio and before we got to the class I stopped him.
"Edward, I just want to apologize and if you still want me to have your Grandmother's jewelry, I will because I know it means so much, but please, let's be open and honest with each other, from this point out. O.K.?" I asked, kissing him softly and looking in his eyes.
"Bells anything for you. I love you." he smiled.
We walked into class and sat down, we were early, so I turned to face him and held his hands, confident in what I was going to say to him.
"Edward, we're going to be completely honest from now on, right?" I asked.
He nodded staring into my eyes.
I leaned into his ear and whispered. "I love you too." his breath caught and he pulled away to look at me, I was biting my lip, he pulled it out with his thumb and kissed me with more passion than I'd ever felt, my body was feeling things I'd never felt.
I pulled away and looked at him.
"Edward, I want you to make me yours. All yours!" I stressed, at that time the teacher walked in and Edward had a cheesy smile on his face.
After class, Edward grabbed me around the waist, "All mine? How so?" he asked.
"I want you to make love to me." I whispered in his ear.
Edward just stopped and stared at me like I had three heads.
