So, you take it back now? (Editing)

Chapter 8 - Mistake??

"Hey babe" Caleb said as he wrapped his arm around me.

I smiled up at him nervously, "Hey Caleb!"

I looked down at my hands, my heart was pounding, I knew I needed to talk to him! But I couldn't bring myself to! Things were finally going good for me, why ruin it?

"Hey!" Caleb started as he turned me around to face him "What's wrong?"

I avoided his gaze as much as I could as the tears started to build up in my eyes. 

"Hey hey! Baby!" he said as he wrapped his arms around me and pulling me into a tight hug. 

I let my self lean into his chest, the tears falling freely from my eyes. 

"Can we talk?" I asked once I had calmed down, and Caleb nodded. 

We walked hand in hand down the hall. We found a quiet corner where we sat down leaning against the wall. 

"What is it?" he asked pulling my legs onto his lap.

I swallowed a couple times before looking up at him. His eyes were blazing into me.

"Your mate!" 

Caleb looked at me starngely "What?"

"Your mate!" I said again "what's going to happen when you find her?" 

Calebs hand dropped from my face as he looked down into his own lap, this time he was the one avoiding my gaze, and I knew that nothing good could come from that! 

"Um... I think... I think we should probably take this one day at a time!" Caleb muttered as he rubbed his forehead. 

I looked at him shocked "What?" I asked, hoping he would repeat what he said and different words would come out.

Caleb looked up at me nervously "Maybe we should take this slow"

I pulled my legs off his lap, "I... I don't understand!" I say honestly as I study his face, hoping it will break out in a smile, showing me he was joking. 

"Whats not to understand?" he asked 

It took me a second to answe him, dind't he see? 

"Caleb!" I started, my voice cracking as the tears threatened to start all over again. "you fought for me, pulled me away from my mate! and for what? Some fling?" 

I was yelling now, our quiet corner wouldnt be so quiet and desserted anymore if I continued this way.

Suddenly caleb didnt look so mad anymore, he moved closer to me and put his hands on my cheeks, wiping away a few stray tears. 

"Bella!" he started "are you crazy? I love you! I just don't want everything to fall apart if I find my mate! I would give anything for you to be my mate, but with Connor in the picture it doesnt seem like thats really an option!"

A few more tears left my eyes, but not because I was sad, but because I was living through the happiest moment in my life right now! 

"I love you!" I cried as I leaned up and kissed him with everything I had.

"I can't believe you have two hot guys pining for you!" Emmi said dreamily as she leaned back against her mountain of pillows. 

I laughed as I tucked my feet under me and sank down onto the carpeted floor. "It's not like that Ems! Plus you have Justin!"

Emmi looked over at me, her red hair flying around her as she did. "Yeah! And i love him! But a little jealousy would be nice!" 

I let out a low laugh as I picked at her carpet, not that there was anything to pick at, Emmi's house was perfect. Helen, the maid, made sure of that!

"I don't know Em's, had Connor just accepted me like a normal person I would have gone through a lot less heartbreak!" I said looking up at her

Emmi shrugged as she jumped off her bed "but Connor's NOT a normal person, he's a dog...pun intended!"

I laughed as I reached for her hand, hoping she would help me up "Yeah I guess your right! Now let's go eat!" 

Emmi laughed as she pulled me up and dragged me towards the double doors that enclosed her room. We walked through the doors and appeared in a long hallway, we walked down the halllway, passing by several doors before finally reaching a flight of steps. A flight of steps we ran down, quickly! We could already smell Helens amazing food! 

Whoever said the way to a mans heart was through his stomach was wrong, the way to a womans heart is through her stomach! We litterally worship food! Especially when its oily and salty and sweet all at the sime time, like Helens amazingly amazing chocolate chip pancakes!

The next day I woke up with a horrible stomach ache, I may have had twelve to many pancakes yesterday! 

I decided to stay home from school, I felt I needed the brake anyways! 

I finally mamaged to drag myself out of bed and downstairs at 10am, and only because there was a loud knock at my door, one I had tried to ignore I might add. 

I tied my hair up in a high pontyail before ripping the door open. 

"Connor?" I asked as i stared at a nervous Connor standing in my door way!

"Bella? You're okay! I thought something had happened to you when you didn't show up this morning!" Connor said as he let himself into my house

"What? Why would you think something happened to me?" I asked

Connor looked at me strangely "You didn't hear?" 

"Hear what?" I asked my heart beat getting faster by the second.

"There was an accident yesterday Bella! Tanners in the hospital!
