CAN'T BLAME HER

Summary:

Bella and Edward have been in love for almost four years, since they were both 14, and they don't think anything can tear them apart. But when Alice, Bella's little sister at only 15, reveals a secret she has, it puts a strain on Edward and Bella's relationship, as well as their whole family.

Chapter One

"Hey, you."

I smiled down at him. "Hey."

He kissed my lips softly and ran his hands up and down my sides. We had just woken up from a midday nap, and the summer sun was pouring into my bedroom windows.

Still laying on top of him, I asked, "You want to go grab something to eat?"

"I'd much rather stay in bed with you." He began to kiss my neck and partially exposed chest - I was only wearing a low-cut camisole.

"Edward, I can't. Alice is in the next room."

"She's heard us before. Hell, she's walked in on us."

"She's only fifteen. She doesn't need to know about this."

He chuckled. "You seriously don't think she talks about that with her friends?"

I processed it. "She's a good girl."

"Who I'm sure thinks about sex. A lot. You did when you were fifteen."

"Only because I was dating you," I pointed out.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Blame it on your handsome boyfriend."

I rolled my eyes at his childishness. "I love you, but no."

He groaned. "Fine."

I licked his upper lip, kissed him, then got up. "Come on. Let's go get some food."

"Alright, alright."

He pulled his shirt back on, and I put on a bra and some shorts. After we both had our shoes on and our hair fixed, we headed for the stairs. As we passed by my sister's open door, I poked my head in.

"You wanna come with us, Al?" I asked her.

"Where are you going?"

"To get food."

She hopped up. "Yeah, of course."

I looked at Edward, and he looked annoyed. "Sorry," I mumbled.

He shook his head, placing his mouth to my ear. "I was just hoping I'd get some of your amazing body in the backseat of my car."

I smacked his chest playfully. "You're an animal!"

Alice looked back and forth between us, an eyebrow raised. I just shrugged it off, and we all got into Edward's Volvo when we got outside. A little bit later, we were at the diner, and we had just ordered. I noticed Alice staring at someone, and when I looked, I saw why. The guy her eyes were glued to was amazingly hot with his blonde hair and blue eyes. He seemed about six foot and muscular, but you could tell he wasn't an athlete. He looked more like a musician or an artist of some sort.

"What's his name?" I questioned out of the blue, and Edward looked at me like I was crazy.

"Huh?"

"You know who I'm talking about, Alice."

Her cheeks became a light pink. "He's nobody."

"Oh, come on. His parents had to have named him a real name."

She stared at the napkin holder. "Jasper Whitlock."

"You like him?"

"No. Can we just not talk about it?"

I nodded. "Yeah, sorry."

Our food came out then. Edward and I got burgers while Alice got a salad. As we ate our food in silence, I saw the glances my sister kept giving the boy. They seemed longing, not like she wanted him to be her boyfriend, but like they had already dated and broken up.

We dropped Alice off at home, and Edward and I went back to his place. I put my feet up on the dash and leaned my head against the side window, not moving even after he parked in the garage.

"You okay, babe?"

"Something's wrong with Ali."

He tucked a piece of hair behind my ear. "I'm sure she's fine."

"Yeah, but that Jasper guy… Something happened between them."

"She'll tell you when she's ready."

I looked at him, my lips slightly curved upward. "You're right."

"I always am," he joked.

"Of course, you are. That's why I love you so much."

"But I love you more."

Without arguing, even though he was wrong, I kissed the most perfect boy in the front seat of his car with a fervor I didn't know I had, thoughts of my sister slowly vanishing.
