Prologue: Realizations
"Cade you're up." A voice said bringing her from her thoughts. Cayden looked up from her note book at Alice. She then looked at the board and saw it highlighted.
"Oh sorry," She muttered and stood up grabbing her ball, careful to avoid his stare.
She took one last glance at the board and noticed that all she needed was a strike to be higher than him or a spare and she'd be able to keep the tie with him. Their scores only differing a little even though she loathed bowling with a passion knowing that she looked like a fool and normally failed at it. Wanting to beat the person whose gaze she was avoiding was what helped. Normally she would've turned down an invitation to go bowling but it meant that she could spend time with the family that treated her better than her own.
She took a deep breath and sang softly under her breath to calm her nerves. When she released the ball she turned around not wanting to see it. The looks on Alice and Esme's faces were all she needed, she had gotten her strike. She looked at the face she had been avoiding all night a sly smile on her face to tell him to bring it on. She went over to Alice and gave her a high five.
"I need to talk to you." She said leading her away from the group, not allowing her to object.
"Where are you going?" Jasper called after them.
"We'll be back in a minute." Alice called back to her boyfriend knowing full well that she had 4 more people till she was up again.
"Why are you pulling me away from everything?" Cayden asked when she finally stopped outside.
"I want to ask you about you and Edward." Alice asked sitting on the steps.
"Oh that," she said and turned around not wanting to look at the seer.
"Yeah that, why are you ignoring each other?"
"We're not…."
"Yeah you are, you've barely said a word to one another, hell I had to invite you to this and that look you gave him was the first one all night."
"It's his damn fault!" she said the anger in her towards him finally rearing it's ugly head, "On minute I think everything's going perfectly like he's giving me a chance and then the next thing I know I'm getting the cold shoulder."
"Oh Cade I'm so sorry." She said standing and placing her hand on the young girls shoulder.
"Its fine, I've started to get over it as much as I really don't want to. I mean I know I have feelings for him, but I guess if he doesn't have them for me then I have to get over it."
"Don't say that I know that he…" but she was interrupted by Edward coming through the door, his eyes on Cade.
"Alice it's your turn." He said but his gaze never leaving Cade's.
Alice smiled and headed back in letting the 2 of them to talk. Edward had heard Alice's thoughts on the entire conversation, but sadly not Cade's, like Bella he couldn't hear hers and it was one of the most frustrating things ever. He hated to admit it but she was right, just when he was starting to fall for her and show some of his feelings he shut her out thinking it wasn't right that he should for fall for some else after losing Bella. It had taken his entire family to stop him from going to Italy and getting himself killed a few months after Bella's death. 2 years after that it had taken a long and loud conversation Cade had convinced him to move on.
"Look Cayden I…" he began but stopped when she held up her hand.
"I'm guessing you heard Alice's thoughts? I'm through with waiting for you Edward, you've made it very clear that you want nothing to do with me, just let me still have my family and I'll be fine." She said her arms crossed and her eyes never breaking contact with his.
"I've wanted something to do with you." He muttered softly.
"Could've fooled me." She replied.
"I'm not the one flirting with other people."
"I wasn't flirting you bone head, I was asking him about stuff for class, he was the one flirting with me, your the one that's been cold not me."
Earlier that day he had watched one of the guys from her choir flirt with her in front of him, she was right though she hadn't given sign of flirting back and it just pissed him off. He had no clue why it bothered him so much,
She watched as he took it all in, she knew that some sort of feeling was there for her. She could still remember when he thought his feelings were caused by him using her powers. It had taken a demonstration of her powers as well as a couple weeks worth of her and Alice talking to him to convince him that she didn't do anything. She sighed when she realized that he wasn't going to say anything, she looked past him towards the door and saw Jasper waving her over for her turn. She sighed and headed inside only to stop by him taking her arm.
"Don't ever doubt that I have feelings for you." He whispered his lips only inches from her ear.
"Then prove it," She said back pulling away his hand moving down to hers. His grip tightened on her hand, she looked back at him.
Edward looked into her eyes he saw her feelings for him there, her eyes told him what she hadn't 'if you really do have them then fight for me.'
