Love, Cry, Repeat

Matt chuckled at Tyler's obvious strained predicament. Tyler growled in his direction.

"You... those are...what," Bella stuttered.

"Isabella there's something I should probably explain," Tyler whispered grabbing her shoulders gently.

"Please do," she replied with wide eyes.

"Ok," Tyler nodded, standing there for a long moment. "I'm... a werewolf. I chain myself up on the full moon and earlier you weren't seeing things. My eyes do glow a florescent yellow," he sighed.

Bella stood there for a moment letting everything sink in. "Oh my gosh. It all makes sense," she whispered.

Tyler looked at Matt in confusion. Bella shook her head a little looking at Tyler.

"Nothing. I can't even explain it myself," she said.

"Try me," he replied.

"I think the Cullens are werewolves, or vampires, or something of that nature," she whispered. "I probably sound extremely crazy."

"Actually Bella," Matt said. "You aren't crazy. They do exist and not all of them are good."

Bella nodded at Matt in understanding.

"You aren't upset," Tyler asked her.

"No. I mean I wish you would have told me sooner, but I understand why you didn't," she replied.

Tyler was just happy that she didn't reject him. It's not everyday you hear something like that.

"Who are the Cullens," Tyler asked, curiosity getting the best of him.

"They're a family that lived in Forks," Bella explained. "They moved away and I never heard from them again. I dated one of them, Edward Cullen. He sort of took me to the woods and left me for dead."

Tyler growled at this new bit of information. He knew her ex boyfriend was a dick but he didn't know he'd done that. She never talked about him much. Besides, she's his now and doesn't need to worry about being treated like that again.

"Why am I only just now hearing about this?" he demanded quietly.

Matt stood awkwardly in the bed of the truck with his hands in his pocket. He let out a low whistle, looking anywhere but at the couple.

"Hey Ty, I'll meet you guys at the water hole later," he said jumping down.

"Yeah, see you man," Tyler replied not taking his eyes off Bella.

"It's not something I enjoy talking about," Bella whispered.

Tyler closed the distance and cupped her face.

"Isabella, you can tell me anything. About everything. I don't want you to think that none of you or your life doesn't matter to me. You mean everything to me," he confessed.

Bella blinked a few tears from her eyes as she stared up at him. He has never made her feel any lesser than him, and it was something she loved about him. She nodded her head still speechless.

"Okay?" he asked, leaning in to kiss her.

"Anything else I should know before we go out tonight," she asked when he pulled away.

"Not at the moment," he smiled.

"Promise you won't hide anything from me anymore," she asked in a whisper.

"As long as you promise me the same thing," he said, pinching her chin between his thumb and index finger, before leaning down to press his lips to hers.
