Adele's POV I drove us to the diner where we were supposed to meet up with Charlie for dinner. I took the scenic route to give Bash some time to let his feelings out and compose himself.
When I got there I parked the car, and unbuckled before turning to face him as he used the tissues I had given him earlier to clean himself up. I stared at him, trying to figure out why he was so worked up over some, some asshole.
"I don't know either" Bash says as if he could read my mind. He then says "I never felt like this before....we just clicked, and for a moment it was like puzzles pieces, and it just felt so right, and so perfect like star aligning" he was desperately to explain what he was feeling but then we both realized that he'd never be able to explain what he felt.
It's not something that you can explain, it's something that you need to feel and experience.
I nodded and placed my hand on the back of his neck "Okay..." I said and waited for him to continue "Then.... I don't know what happened. It was like he was trying to reject me, and he changed like couldn't stand to be around me. Now he wants to change all classes that he has me" he sighed and buried his head in his hands.
I rubbed his back and said "We'll figure it out and talk to him together tomorrow" he sighs and nods and says "Okay..." I continued to comfort him for a few moments longer before I saw Bella pull in and park her truck before heading into the diner.
"Do you want to go in or should I call Charlie and cancel?" I ask making Bash shake his head and say "No, I need a distraction" I nodded and climbed out shortly followed by Bash. We headed inside where we found Charlie and Bella seated at the back of the diner.
We approached them and saw three plates of burgers with fries and three cups of cola and one plate with a steak and potatoes and a beer. We took our seats and Charlie said "I hope burgers are good" I nodded and said "They're perfect, thank you" I removed the tomato and onion from my burger while Bash just removed the onion.
We got into a conversation about our days, Bash and I purposefully left out Edward Cullen, until Bella abruptly asked "Hey, what do you know about the Cullens?" Bash and I look at Bella in confusion while Charlie gives her a sharp look "Are people talking about them again?"
Bash and I exchanged looks of confusion and concern as Bella continued running her mouth "A little bit, yeah" making Charlie scoff and aggressively start cutting his steak.
"Just cause they're newcomers, people have to talk about them. We're lucky to have a surgeon like Dr. Cullen, lucky that his wife wanted to live in a small town, lucky his kids aren't a bunch of hell raisers like most of the teenagers in town" Charlie ranted causing Bash and I to reach over in attempt to comfort him.
He sighed before finishing "I just don't like narrow mindedness" the rest of dinner was spend in awkward silence.
~~~timeskip~~~ Bash's POV I stood in the shower as Adele talked to our dad on the phone while doing homework.
I couldn't get what happened today out of my head. I don't know why I'm so hung up on it, so hurt. I didn't understand it. Edward was just so... he's...I thought that he wanted to be my friend, I really like him. Why did Edward hate me so much?
I felt a sudden pain in my chest and curled up into a ball on the shower floor. I began gasping for air and tried to push everything from my mind. I managed to pull myself together when I heard banging on the door "Bash?! Are you okay?!" Adele called out and I managed to croak out "Yeah, I'm fine!"
It was quiet for a moment before Adele called out "Dad wants to talk to you, so hurry up!" I called back as I stood back up "Okay!" I turned off the shower and stepped out. I grabbed my towel and patted myself dry before wrapping myself up and walking out of the bathroom.
Adele stood outside with her pjs and phone in hand. She eyed me warily before handing me her phone and walking into the bathroom and shutting the door behind her. I hear the shower turn back on as I walked over to my dresser. I put the phone on top of my dresser after putting it on speakerphone and started digging through my drawers "What's up dad?"
"Ace says that something happened at school? Are you having boy troubles, Bubba?" Dad asks I almost laughed as he used our childhood pet names to soften me up, but I relented nonetheless and told him what happened. He listened before saying "I think that you should talk to him and ask why he acted like that, and if he doesn't want to be friends then it's his loss."
I nodded and said "Thanks dad" "No problem bubs. Listen, I gotta go...Renee" I waved my hand "Say no more. I love you" "Thanks. I love you too, bye" he chuckled "Bye dad" I hung up and finished changing just as Adele stepped out of the shower with a towel drying her hair and her dirty clothes in a bundle in her arms.

She put her clothes in the hamper before turning to me and asking "Are you sure you're okay?" I nodded and said "Yeah, I'm fine" she didn't seem to believe me.
I sighed and sat on her bed, and patted the space beside me. She timidly crawled into the space and snuggled up next to me. I wrapped my arms around her and we cuddled together as we fell asleep.
