Real Women Have Curves (Twilight AU-Human)

Chapter 15: Departure

B POV

It's Friday the 15th, Edward and I leave tomorrow to go to Spokane for the concert. We are leaving town bright and early to get over there in time to drop our stuff off at his buddy's house we were staying at and then go to the concert later that night. We should be driving back on Sunday.

To say I'm nervous is an understatement. I packed and repacked everything in my bag last night. I wasn't paying attention to the teacher's lectures because I was distracted by my own thoughts.

Due to being wrapped up in my thoughts I didn't see my self-proclaimed enemy zone in on me while I was in the hallway.

I stood at my locker to drop some books off when a hand grabs the back of my arm, hard, and spins me around.

"What did I tell you about Edward Cullen?" Tanya hisses at me. "I warned you not to go near him and now I hear you're going on a little side trip with him?"

I jerk my arm out of her grasp, the last thing I like to be is cornered.

"It's none of your business." I snap at her, slamming my locker shut and walking off in the opposite direction. She jumps in front of me and slams her hand into the locker to stop me from moving forward.

"You're damn straight it's my business. Edward is mine, not yours, you fat pig." She grits.

"If he were yours, then he'd be with you." I answer dismissively. I go to move around her but her two sisters are there to block my way.

"He is with me, he just doesn't know it yet." She flicks her wrist. "You have a snowball's chance in hell with him."

"Excuse me?" Edward looms over Tanya. "What did you just say?"

"Oh! Eddie," Tanya giggles nervously. "I was just telling Bella here to have fun on your little...trip."

"Yeah right. I heard what you said Tanya." Edward responds coolly. "Let's get something straight here. First of all, I told you if I ever heard you speak to Bella like that again I would report you for harassment. Second of all, I do not, have not and will never be attracted to you. You are a desperately stupid and an extremely fake twit of a girl who does not even compare to Bella on any level. You trying to belittle and manipulate her is ridiculous and shows how little a person you truly are. And thirdly, as for this trip, Bella is correct in saying that it is none of your business. She and I are friends, and I gave her that ticket because she is a fan of the band that we are going to see. You don't need to know any more than that. Bella," he looks at me, "would you like me to report this incident to a school administrator?"

I shake my head no and squeeze through Tanya and Irina into Edward's side. He wraps an arm around my shoulders, tosses a spiteful glance back at the purple faced Tanya and walks me to my next class.

"You okay?" He asks moving his arm from around me.

"Sure" I look down at my feet. He puts his fingers under my chin and tilts my face up. He sees the doubt in my eyes and the tears starting to form.

"Don't listen to anything she says." He whispers. "I swear to God when she breathes the air comes out crooked." His smile mirrors mine at that comment.

"Thank you." I respond. "I guess I owe you again huh?" I giggle.

"Absolutely not." Edward shakes his head. "I should have done that a long time ago. I guess I always figured there was an end to how far she would go." He shrugs. "But I guess not."

"I gotta get to class." I answer.

"Okay," He goes to turn away and then stops. He looks at me then leans in and leaves a small kiss on my cheek. "I'll see ya after school. You're still coming over to stay the night with Alice so we can leave early right?"
