Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, I just like to play around with the characters.
no spoilers of any of the books, its my own story that I thought of. It's my first fan fic, please be nice with the reviews. Pst.. everyone is human in this story.
Edward. There wasn't a word to describe him, I've been in love with him since the day that my mother died and he grabbed my hand with the promise that we would be friends forever and always. We had a pretty special friendship; people didn't realize how close we were because my brother Jacob. He didn't really like to hang out with me in public. Jacob and I have always been close.
We've always been there for the other because we never saw our dad. I usually call him Charlie because he's been more of a stranger to me then a father. He has been obsessing with trying to solve murder cases rather then worrying about his own children. My afternoons have always had a basic routine come home, clean, help Jacob cook dinner, study then watch T.V with the boys.
Alice, my best friend, also Edward's sister would usually join us when she isn't trying to drag me to the mall. I'm a pretty sociable person, I have my group of friends but I'm pretty content with just hanging around the house with a good book.
As my thoughts drift to the surrounding around me, I notice that Edward has been staring at me from across the room. I quickly look away, as I feel myself start to blush. I don't think there has been a moment in my teenaged life when I haven't been in love with him. Of course I could never see things ever happening with us because Edward has always gone for the pretty girls at our school and he probably thinks I'm Jacob's bratty little..
my thoughts are interrupted when Alice says" So Bella, I heard that Luke may ask you out this weekend." I just stare at her with a blank expression.
" Luke wants to take out Bella" Jacob repeats with a little smirk on his face. I knew that I should prepare myself for a lot of teasing.
" Yes he does, apparently he's had a crush on Bella for a while" Alice announces this to the room.
" So Bella would you say yes to Luke?" Jacob turns to me for my answer. But my gaze stays on Edward, I noticed that he started to tense when Alice got on the topic. His eyes connect with mine and I can't read this expression.
" Mmm I'm not really sure, I guess I will make up my mind in the moment" I finally answer Jacob. He doesn't look impressed with my answer, I think he wants warning to practise his "you break her heart, I break your legs" speech.
The rest of my night goes by as a blur. I get sucked into a world of thoughts, trying to pick apart Edward's silence and asking myself if I would want to be Mike's girlfriend.
" Earth to Bella" Edward's voice pulls me out of my daze. I notice that Jacob and Alice are out of the room and Edward has joined me on the couch. I turn on the couch so I can look at him and our knees collide, I feel a tingle go through me. I need to get over my pathetic crush.
I notice that he begins to fidget with his fingers. "So Bella, would you actually be Luke's girlfriend?" I was left speechless, since he didn't say anything before; I didn't expect him to say anything now.
" mm well I'm not quite sure. I think it would be nice to have a boyfriend and Luke seems like a pretty nice guy." By the look on his face I'm not sure if Edward approved of my response.
" It shouldn't matter if you want a boyfriend" he begins to tell me. "It matters if you like Luke."
" Well I don't really know him, so maybe I will say yes if he asks me out, who knows maybe he'll end up being the love of my life" I attempt to make a joke out of it hoping that Edward would get that serious look off his face
" Yah maybe" he replies as he gets up from the couch. "I got to go Bella, tell Jacob I'll pick you guys up in the morning." Men, I will never understand what is going through their mind.
The Next Morning"Bells, wake you! You're going to make us late for school and I'm too much of an awesome brother to leave you behind." I jump up from the bed, the clock is flashing at me. I have exactly 30 minutes to get ready and get to school or get chewed out by my first period teacher.
I give myself a mental pat on the back for taking a shower last night, so that saves me some time this morning. I'm trying to struggle into a pair of jeans when I hear a soft knock at my door. I turn around trying to keep my balance as Alice pokes her head into my bedroom.
"Bella, I usually wouldn't care if you made us late for school, but how is Luke supposed to talk to you, if you're never around." Alice makes her way over to my closet to sort threw my clothing. Sometimes I think Alice considers me more of her personal mannequin then her best friend, she loves to pick out my outfits.
I'm about to join her over at my closet, when I get a bunch of clothes tossed at me. I've learned not to argue with Alice when she is determined to dress me. I sit down on the edge of the bed and begin to change into the clothes she gave me without looking at them. "What do you mean, I'm never around?" I ask Alice as I'm struggling with the sweater that she gave me. " Well you're always late in the mornings, there is never time between classes to talk to you because all your classes are spread apart you're usually running and at lunch when you're not sitting with our group, your in the library reading." She sits down beside me and starts to brush out my hair. "I also doubt Luke would want to ask you out after school when you're on your way home with Jacob. All the boys at school are pretty scared of Jacob and they all know how overprotective he is."
"Well if Luke is just like all the other boys, then I don't know if I should waste my time, besides Jacob isn't that overprotective." As the words come out of my mouth I knew I was lying. I flinch as Alice tries to get a knot out of my hair. "Not that overprotective? Are you kidding me?" She begins to remind me of things that Jacob has done to other people in order to protect me. I keep quiet because I know it was a losing battle.
Finally she put down the brush and grabbed a hair clip that was on my bedside table. After she put it in my hair she runs over to my closet to pull out the pair of flats she got me for my birthday. She pulls me to the mirror with a huge smile on her face and says " Ta da". I look over at her and give her a warm smile. She had dressed me up in my favourite mini skirt with a pair of tights because it's starting to get chilly outside and my warmest pink sweater with my new black flats. I turn around and give her a hug "I don't know what I would do without you" I tell her, as she responds with "You'll never have to find out."
I know it's not that long.. I just want to know if I should keep going with it or not. Please review)
