So here I was, sitting on a plane next to someone I don't even know, bawling my eyes out because I cant get over my high school best friend/love of my life. Okay, so I know I sound a little melodramatic but seriously, what if you found out that the love of your life was getting married to a girl he doesn't even love? Because the person he really loves is you. Okay so maybe I should start from the beginning. My name is Isabella Swan but everybody calls me Bella. Five years ago I left Forks, Washington and the love of my life. I was in love- or should I say am in love with Edward Cullen. I left him back in forks along with my best friends because I went off to college in LA to Stanford. It was always my dream to go there and since Edward knew this he wanted me to go down there and fulfill my dreams of becoming a writer. Me and Edward were best friends when I left Forks. We did everything together. We never told each others secrets, we slept in each others arms when we were sad or angry and we were just there for each other. Sounds like a good best friends right? So why am I going back to Forks to visit him and he just told me he was getting married? I have no clue.

Me and Edward haven't really stayed in contact since I left for Stanford. We would have the occasional phone call or email but it was never like how we interacted when we were together back home. He eventually went to Dartmouth so he was basically on the other side of the country while I stayed in LA. We decided that we would visit each other every year but look how that turned out. We never did. I also left my others best friends out in Forks too. Alice Cullen and Rosalie Hale. They were my best girlfriends but nothing like what me and Edward had. Alice was hyper pixie who wouldn't sit still for five seconds and Rosalie Hale was a blond bombshell model who could be bitchy at times. I was always total opposites from them. I was shy and I'm not saying that I wasn't pretty but I was nothing compared to them two. I had big brown eyes and brown hair and skin the color of white paper. It was nothing special about me. In Stanford the boys there seem to think otherwise.

I dated in California but everyone knew that my heart was still open for Edward to come and steal it away. I guess he only thought of me as a friend because I remember the first time I told him I loved him.

Flashback

I was over at the Cullen's house on the last day of school . This was the day I was going to tell Edward how I really felt.

I walked up to the doorstep and took out my key. I basically lived there so they decided to give me my own key. I had a room there and mostly all of my stuff was there too.

I opened the door and Emmet and Jasper were sitting on the couch playing some video game.

"Hey Bella" said Emmet and Jasper not looking up at me to consumed with there game. They automatically knew it was me because as I said before,Im always there.

"Hey where's Alice", Alice was the only one besides Rosalie and Esme that knew how I felt about Edward. I wanted to discuss what I was going to say to him about how I felt. Edward knew a couple months ago that I was going to Stanford and he took it pretty well ... surprisingly.

"She in her room", answered Emmet. Boy that must be a good game.

I walked up the massive staircase to Alice room on the second floor and opened the door.

"Hey Alice," I said walking into her huge pink and green room. Alice was a HUGE girly girl and never mention the words makeover to her or she will attack.

"Hey Bella, you ready to tell him?" said Alice with her infamous pixie smile on her face.

"Im not sure Alice. I know I said I would do this and all but Im not really sure Im ready to do this.I mean what if he doesn't love me back Alice? Then that will mess up our whole friendship. I don't think I can handle it if we're not friends." I said looking down at my twitching hands.

"Bella, Edward is my brother. I know how he fells about you and he absolutely adores you and you know that. Have you seen the way he looks at you? You guys already act like you're a couple anyway."

"We do not act like a couple." I said blushing and yelling a little bit louder than I intended for it to come out.

"Whatever Bella, but you already know he loves you. You've been best friends for years and I can tell he wants to be more than friends Bella."

"Fine Alice, Ill do it where is he?"

"In his room. Bella, just tell him what your heart feels okay? This will work out perfectly I promise."

So I exited Alice's room and made my way up the second flight of stairs to the third floor. Edward room was always at the very top of the as well as my room.

I knocked on his door and asked to come in.

I heard some movement on the other side of the door and the next thing I know I saw his piercing green emerald eyes. They were filled many emotions that i couldnt decipher all of them. They were filled with hurt, pain, and dare I say...love. His eyes were filled with tears and then the next thing I know he pulled me into a bone crushing hug.

I just let him hug me for a moment before I pulled away

"What is it Edward, what's wrong with you?" I said rubbing soothing circles on his arm. By that time we were both sitting on his bed facing each other.

"Bella I don't know how to tell you this but I don't want you to go Bella. I cant live without you. You're my best friend, basically my whole life. I didn't tell you before but I got accepted to Dartmouth. So that means were both leaving Forks. But I don't wanna go Bella. I cant stand not seeing you. I love you Bella. You're like another sister to me. You complete me Bella you make me so happy every time I see that beautiful blush yours or that heartwarming smile. I cant not stop seeing your face, Bella." By that time tears were coming down both of our faces at full force.

" I know Edward I cant not see you either. We have to go to college though we can't just stay here our ,whole life. You've got dreams and so do I. I promise well come visit each other. I'll call, write, and do whatever it takes to keep you in my life Edward. I love your like a second brother to me besides Emmet. You're also my best best best best BEST friend in the whole wide world. Nothing will ever change that."

I didn't have the nerve to tell him that I wanted to be so much more than just his friend because he pulled the friend/sister card out on me like he always does but I was too much of a coward to tell him how I really felt. My heart broke into a million pieces when he said he loved me like a sister. A SISTER!! Why couldnt be a lover. I was always the tom boy hanging out and being one of the 'guys' why couldnt he see me as more?I guess I'll just love Edward as a friend right now. Since that seems like that's all he wants from me right now. With that I decided I would keep Edward in my life when I went to college but deep down I wanted so much more than to just be his friend.

With this last thought. We fell asleep in each other's arms.

The next couple of weeks it was just me and Edward nonstop. Just working on our friendship and talking about the future. He was the one that dropped me at the airport two weeks after our little talk. I was going to Stanford and he was going to Dartmouth. We hugged goodbye and that was the last I ever saw Edward Anthony Cullen.

End Flashback.

So here I am on the plane back to Forks to visit my friends and family, and to help Edward plan his wedding. I dont even know the girl he's marrying but Alice told me she was a stup up snob and all wrong for Edward. Ugh! This is so frustrating! So anyway I'm on the plane basically telling my whole story to this guy I was sitting next to named Mike. He was nice and all but so not my type. Anyone but Edward was not my type. Hmmmm I'm pathetic. Basically balling my eyes out and telling my life story to some guy I don't even know. So the plane was finally landing and guess who was at the gate waiting for me.

You guessed it!

Looking so gorgeous that it should be illegal the infamous….

Edward Cullen.
