Bella Jackson

Making Up

I sighed as I made my way to breakfast, and for the first time since Tartarus I wasn't very hungry. I missed Edward. I missed falling asleep with him next to me. And this was even worse than when he left because this time, he was in the same room as me.
"Morning Izzy." Percy said as I sat down next to him, half a blue waffle on my plate. The other half had gone up as an offering for my dad. "What's wrong?" Percy asked as I picked at my waffle.
"Nothing." I said.
"Izzy, last time you only ate half a waffle you were really sick. Are you feeling okay?"
"I'm fine."
"Izzy-"
"Percy I said I'm fine!" I yelled before I got up and stormed out. I then headed to the only place I could clear my head. The arena. I took out Tsunami and mauled at least a dozen dummies before I saw Edward there.
"What do you want?" I asked as I beheaded another one.
"Bella, I'm sorry about last night. You should know that I didn't kiss her, she kissed me."
"Well I didn't see you push her away."
"I did. Bella-"
"Whatever." I said, turning and chopping the arms off my fourteenth dummy.
"Bella please just listen."
"To what, Edward? Your little pity speech? If you didn't want to get married you could've just said so. You didn't have to go and kiss another girl."
"But I didn't kiss her!"
"Whatever." I said as I summoned my wings and flew away.
"You can't just run away from this, Bella!" Edward shouted at me.
"I'm not running! I'm flying!"
"You can't just fly away from this then!"
"Then how come I'm doin' it?"  I shouted, not paying attention to where I was going, and bumped into Jason. "Watch it man." I told him
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah."
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"Yeah."
"C'mon." He said, grabbing my hand, and we flew up to the roof of the Zeus cabin.
"So, what's wrong?" He asked
"Edward kissed another girl at the party last night." I said, looking down at my hands, trying not to cry.
"Why in Nico's father would he do that?"
"I don't know. Maybe he's getting cold feet about the wedding."
"Or, maybe she kissed him? Have you bothered to get the full story yet?" He asked me.
"Holy Hera, when did you get so smart, Sparky?" I asked
"About the same time I got these." He laughed, pushing up his glasses.
"Anyways, not yet. I just need some time to cool down. Every time I look at him all I can see is another girl playing squishy-face with him and it irks me so much. We made a commitment, you know? I know that I'll be coming into my immortality soon-"
"Don't even get me started on that. I mean I'm glad we'll all become immortal on our nineteenth birthdays and everything but still. A choice would've been nice-"
"Not done talking, Jason." I huffed, a bit annoyed.
"Right, sorry."
"Anyways, I know I'll be coming into my immortality in August and I just wanna make my last few ageing moments with him special. But every time I look at his face all I see is Slutty Alicia Evans pressed up against it. What do I do?"
"Put a paper bag over your head when you talk to him so you don't have to see him?" Jason joked.
"I'm serious, Jason. I'm so confused. I wanna spend the rest of forever with Edward."
"Then why are you thinking about running out now? Make sure he knows you want it, make sure he wants it too. I've seen the way he looks at you, Kelpy. He loves you."
"Thanks Jase."
"No problem. Now go get your mans." He said, and I laughed before flying off the roof. Edward was still at the arena, right where I left him.
"I think I'm ready to listen to you now." I said as I touched back down.
"Can we go somewhere a little more, private?" He asked, looking at the new group of trainees that had just walked in for a lesson.
"Sure." I said, summoning my wings again.
"What are you doing?" He asked
"Just hold on." I said, grabbing him around the waist and lifting off the ground. I flew up to the roof of the big house, overlooking the camp.
"This is beautiful." He said.
"It's one of my favorite places." I said, smiling.
"Anyways, Bella, I didn't kiss her." He said, cutting right to the chase.
"Then why were slutty Alicia Evan's lips pressed against yours?" I asked.
"She kissed me. She tripped in front of me, I caught her, and before I could even explain that I was engaged to you, she called me her savior and kissed me. I tried to push her off but then you came back from the bathroom and ran out before I could explain." He said, and the look in his eyes showed me he was truly sorry. If he was human I bet he would be crying right now.
"I love you." I said.
"So... we're okay?" He asked.
"I love you." I repeated. "Yeah, we're okay. But I do need to talk to you about something serious."
"What's up?"
"I want to postpone the wedding."
