Sweet Eden

Forgiveness

"If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?"- Chasing Cars, Snow Patrol

Eden's POV

Today is the day.

The day that I have to confront Andrew about the kiss. I can't say it wasn't great, because it was. It just didn't feel...right. Like something was missing.

Maybe I'm just over thinking things.

On the other hand, there's Anthony. The guy who I think I might like or 'had' liked who kissed another girl in front of me.

My mother always told me that no one was perfect and that everyone deserves forgiveness.

If only it were easy to forgive...

"Yo bitch I've been calling you for the past five minutes"

I glance over at Edward who seems to be fuming.

"Sorry, what were you saying" I shake my head to clear my thoughts.

He sighs and stops walking towards school, delaying my steps as well.

"Are you okay Eden?"

"Yea I'm fine why?"

"Well for starters you thought shaving cream was toothpaste" He retorts

"Okay and? It was a common mistake" I exclaim and roll my eyes.

"Then you almost-"

"Oh my gosh! What's your point Edward" I say growing frustrated.

"Just tell me what's wrong"

"Please" he adds when he notices my hesitation.

"Andrew kissed me" I say in one breath.

"What" he replies, his face void of emotion.

"Yesterday when he came to talk to me he kissed me and told me he liked me. Then with all of that and Anthony... I-I just don't know what to do"

"Do what your heart advises you to, let it talk to you"

"My heart must hate me because it never 'talks' to me when I need it the most" I put air quotes around talk.

He laughed and shook his head.

"We'll talk later I have to get to class as do you" he points out.

"Okay by Ed"

I give him a hug and he tenses up since I rarely hug him.

He slowly wraps his arms around me, hugging me tightly.

"I love you squirt" he mumbles in my hair.

"Eh, I love you too I guess" I smile

"You always have to ruin the moment and let your bitchy side come out" he releases me from the hug and shakes his head.

"Bye babe" I say and flirtatiously wink at him.

"I don't believe in incest!" He replies and quickly runs away before I can say anything.

I chuckle to myself and make my way through the front doors.

"Eden! Wait!" I turn around just in time to see Crystal running towards me.

"I'm so sorry- that I- no wait- that we- were- bitchy to you" she says out of breath.

"Wow I really need to go to the gym" she exclaims.

"It's okay you guys were just trying to protect me I guess"

This would probably be the time where I tell her that her boyfriend kissed me. I wouldn't like it if she kept something like that from me so I guess I might as well tell her.
