Kiss

EdPOV

I was still wondering about what Bella was talking about when I got to the next class. Bella wasn't there but Jane was. "Where's-"
 

"Don't talk to me." Jane cut me off, her voice as cold as Bella's had been in the classroom.
 

"Look, whatever I did, I'm sorry. But could you at least tell me what I did?" I mumbled.
 

"You hurt her. I told you that if you ruined her progress you were going to pay, and I don't bluff." Jane said.
 

"What are you- AH!" My cry of pain wasn't loud enough for the rest of the class to hear, thankfully. I grabbed my head and clenched my jaw and my eyes shut.
 

"Jane, what are you doing?!" Alice said. "You've gotta stop!"
 

"No. He hurt Bella. Now I'm going to hurt him." She said, then increased the pain up from agonizing to excruciating.
 

"Jane, stop." Bella's voice was hard.
 

"But I..." Jane started.
 

Bella sighed. "He's not worth it. I'm leaving. Want me to come pick you up?"
 

"No, I'll go with you."
 

"You know you can stay if you want to."
 

"I know, but you need me right now, and you're my little sis. I can't stay here when you're...like this."
 

I could finally lift my head enough to see that Bella's eyes had changed from the bright red she'd shown me just minutes ago, to a deeper, more vicious red, the color of blood. I was sure that this was a bad sign, seeing as red normally meant anger, and I'd seen what happened when Bella got angry. It wasn't a pretty sight.
 

Bella smiled a little bit. "Thanks Jane. You're the best."
 

Jane got up from her seat and threw me an icy stare. "No." Bella said and stopped her from causing me pain again.
 

They were out of the classroom in mere seconds, leaving all of the foolish humans lusting after them.
 

"Edward, what happened?" Emmett leaned over and asked me.
 

"Mr. Tanka tried to rape Bella. She couldn't fight back because she froze. She said it was my fault. That she'd been thinking of me and that was a mistake that she would never make again. I don't get it."
 

Emmett sighed and ran a hand through his hair, then shook his head. I wish I could tell him.

"Wish you could tell me what? Listen, I know you made a promise to Bella, but this is important to me. I want to know why she acted that way."

"She....she said that when we were hunting earlier today that she was thinking about how good it felt to be in your arms again. She misses it." Emmett said in a rush. Alice shot him a hard glare and he mouthed, 'Sorry.' to her and looked at me. "That's it."

I looked at Emmett. I love my bid bear of a brother. "I love you man."

"Don't go homo on me Edward." Emmett backed into his desk.

I smiled at him. "I'm not." A girl by the name of Rebecca grabbed my arm when I stood up.

"Hey, do you know where Bella went? She's supposed to tell Demetri to take me ona date tonight." She said. And maybe I can get some!

"Uh..I really don't think that's going to happen. Not just now, but..well, ever."

"Why do you say that?" She let go of my arm and frowned.
 

Humans here are really stupid. "It just won't. Excuse me, I've gotta go." I dashed out of the classroom as fast as a human could in search of Bella. I wanted to tell her that the feeling was mutual and that she didn't have to be angry.
 

I walked in front of a class that Bella and Jane's scents were coming from and got pulled in by invisble arms. The door closed and locked behind me. Bella and Jane materialized in front of me. Jane went to the back of the classroom and sat on top of a desk with her iPod while Bella and I stayed in the front.
 

"You think that I have no reason to be upset about the...the feelings I have for you?!" She said the word 'feelings' like it was a disease or something. "I cannot feel anything for you because I am getting married! I'm going to marry Demetri in two months time and there's nothing that could ever stop me from doing that. So I am convinced that I do not feel anything for you. It was just a thought I had from being human. I hadn't embraced you in so long, my mind wandered. I know not to let it happen again."
 

"Why are you like this?"
 

"Why am I like this?" Her laugh following the question was bitter. "Maybe because I thought that I was in love sixty years ago and the person left me. Then, I repeat, not only did I alost get raped by a perv who's rotting in his grave right now, but my father was also killed. How the hell am I supposed to be after that?"
 

"You...you don't have to be like this. We don't have to be like this." I reached out to touch Bella's arm.
 

She jerked away from my touch. "There is no we Cullen. There is you, then there is me. Nothing is between us, therefore we does not exist anymore."
 

"But it can Bella. We can! All you have to do is try!" I wanted us to be together again. I could almost feel Bella in my arms again.
 

"You just don't get it! We can't be together! It isn't possible Edward! I love Demetri! I am in love with Demetri! And by his side is where I want to spend the rest of eternity. It's the only place I want to spend the rest of eternity. Why can't you see that?"
 

"Because I see us Bella. I see us getting married. I see us spending the rest of our existence together, as one."
 

"What if that's not what I want?!"
 

"But it is Bella! Can't you see that we're perfect together?!" I stepped closer to her and she took a step back in return. "We were meant to be together. That's all we know how to do."
 

"That may be all you know how to do, but I know more. A lot more. I know that I want to be with Demetri and he wants to be with me."
 

"Yeah, he wants to drain all your energy."
 

Bella stepped up and slapped me. Hard. My head snapped to the side and I felt the imprint of her hand. "You will not speak of that again!" She ground out throuh her teeth. "It was an accident and I know he's sorry for it. I can feel it within me. Demetri hasn't touched me since it happened and it's your fault. If you hadn't called Carlisle, we would've been just fine."
 

She reached to slap me again, but this time, I grabbed her hand and kissed her hard on the lips.

When Edward kissed me, a series of emotions played through my body and I could feel my eyes changing colors. I saw out of the window behind Edward that Rebecca was standing there, watching us. That was frustrating because now I couldn't use my powers. But Jane could use hers. The pain flew to Edward only seconds after our lips made contact. I could feel Jane's attack and it was crippling Edward. His body crumpled into mine, but he wasn't the one that broke contact. I used my last reserve of will power and pushed Edward off of me, watching as he fell to the floor with both of us gasping for breath.
 

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" I yelled at him.
 

"I...I.." He couldn't answer me through Jane's powers. I shot her a small look and she nodded, letting go of his mind. "I thought it was best for us." He breathed and sood up from the ground.
 

"What don't you get about there being no us?! We cannot be together! You made that clear years ago!"
 

"Bella, I love you." He said, sounding desperate.
 

"And I loved you Edward! You don't know the pain I went through when you left! And I'm damn sure not going to let you back into my life so intimately after you hurt me so much! How could you even think that?!" I sighed. "Come on Jane. We're leaving, for real this time."
 

She got up and shook her head at Edward, who'd fallen back on the ground. Rebecca left when she saw me looking at her. At least she wasn't going to question why Edward was on the ground. I did a small peek into the future. Great. She was going to tell Demetri.
 

"If Demetri is pissed because of this, it's your fault." I ground out through my teeth, trying not to let the venom building up in my mouth overflow and burn not only a hole in the ground, but one in Edward's face as well.
 

"What do you mean?" He asked me, looking confused.
 

"Rebecca saw."
 

"I'm sorry."
 

"Damn right you are." I said then Jane and I left the classroom. Demetri was in the school parking lot.
 

"I felt your anger and I was wondering what was going on." He said, concern filling his eyes.
 

Instead of answering, I shook my head and bit my bottom lip. How could I have not seen that coming? Both Edward kissing me and Demetri showing up. Damn I'm stupid.
