Chapter 1-Moving On

Bella Swan.

I was sitting in my best friend Edwards's room helping him pack for his 3 month long trip to Europe for the summer. It was going to suck without him here. He has been my best friend for as long as I can remember.

Our families are very close and have always been growing up. Including his younger sister who is my age, Alice Cullen. I love her dearly and she will be home this summer but it doesn't make Edward being gone any better.

I have always, since I've known him, been in love with Edward Cullen. But he only thought of me as a friend, or even a little sister. And although it sucks, I put up with it because being friends with Edward is better than no Edward at all.

"I'm gonna miss you." I playfully pouted folding a t-shirt for him.

He chuckled his musical laugh and ruffled my hair. "It's only a summer B. You will be fine." He smiled crookedly and my heart immediately accelerated.

He walked towards his closet pulling out some more clothing. "Oh and for the record." He said turning around to face me, where I was perched on the bed.

"I'm going to miss you too." He winked. My face flushed, and automatic reaction I get from him.

He smirked and turned back around. How he doesn't see I am hopelessly in love with him I'll never know.

I knew I needed to tell him though. Tell him before he goes off to Europe and meets sexy French girls. I know he doesn't feel the same way back but I at least need to try.

I was singing along with the radio as was he but suddenly I stopped. I was going to do it. Right now, no turning back.

He turned around curiously at the sudden mood change you felt in the room.

"What's up Bell?" He asked suspiciously.

"Edward I need to tell you something." I stood up and began pacing in front of him. "I know it is probably a really bad idea and it might ruin our friendship but I need to get it out." I started to ramble nervously.

But once I looked up Edward's face was even worse. He looked actually petrified of what I was about to tell him.

"No it's nothing bad." I assured him.

He just nodded but his face still didn't relax.

"Okay I'm just gonna say it." I said more to myself.

"Edward I'm-" He cut me off.

"Bella you are such a great friend." He said suddenly putting emphasis on the word friend.

And just like that my world came crashing down. He knew and didn't feel the same way. My heart felt like it just got torn into pieces. But I couldn't let him see that.

I smiled, what I hope was, a convincing smile, and nodded. "You too E." I said before sitting back on his bed and continuing to fold his shirts.

He smiled and turned back to his closet.

I took a deep breath to keep the tears at bay. I had to get out of here without making it obvious. I texted Alice quietly asking if she wanted to stay the night at my house instead of here.

She was curious but agreed and it was already 11. Perfect.

I stood up and grabbed my purse from Edwards's dresser across the room. Edward had his back to me facing his music collection he was going through trying to decide what music to take along.

"I have to get home it's late." I announced.

He turned ariund, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion holding a cd in each hand. "You're not staying the night?" He asked.

I could see why he was confused; I always stay the night because I was best friends with him and Alice, so seldom did we ever go to my house.

"Yeah Ali is actually staying over my place tonight." I said trying to sound nonchalant.

"Oh?" He said curiously.

"Yeah so. Bye." I said smiling and walking up to him giving him a hug. "Have a good trip." I said in his ear.

He pulled back his eyes confused and slightly angry. "You're not coming to the airport with Alice tomorrow?" He questioned.

Truth was I was planning on it but I just needed to get out. I didn't want to have to watch him get on the plane. And I feel sort of awkward now.

"No sorry I can't." I lied smoothly.

He just nodded curtly but he looked hurt and mad.

"Edward." I hit his arm playfully. "Don't be upset." I tried to say lightly.

"How can I not be Bella?" He turned on me almost shouting. "I'm leaving for 3 months and you can't even come say goodbye. You're my best friend." He emphasized as if I didn't know.

"I'm sorry I just can't. And I'm saying bye now." I tried to say.

He rolled his eyes. "Whatever Bella. Bye." He said bitterly.

I sighed. "Edward please don't leave on a bad note."

He just turned his back to me, continuing to go through his massive amount of music.

"Edward." I warned.

Nothing. Silence.

I huffed loudly. "Fine Edward be childish." I said stomping toward his door.

I turned around at his door post. "Have a good trip Edward." I said sincerely before turning to walk out.

Before I could get too far he caught my wrist.

I smiled and turned around with one eyebrow raised.

He smiled sheepishly looking at me through his eyelashes, making him look even more gorgeous than usual.

"I'm sorry Bella." He whispered pulling me into a hug. I smiled and returned it.

"I love you." He whispered.

I blinked back my tears and nodded. "I love you too Eddie." I teased, so he wouldn't realize the true meaning of my words. He would never know the extent of how much I love him.

He laughed and pulled back, glaring at me playfully. I laughed and stroked his cheek, fluffing his hair tenderly.

"Go break hearts in Europe Cullen." I teased lightly.

He leaned into my hand and smiled contently. "Thanks B."

I smiled and pulled my hand away from his face but he caught it first kissing the inside of my palm.

He smiled his crooked grin and I winked before turning to leave.

--

Me and Alice got to my house quickly with her driving and I stayed silent most of the ride there. She knew something was up but didn't question it.

We walked into my room dropping our things on the floor before putting on our pajamas and heading to bed.

"So why the sudden change of plans Bell?" She asked curiously taking off her 6 inch heels.

I shrugged. "I may have told your brother." I said almost in a whisper, taking off my tennis.

"What!?" She practically shouted.

"Shh." I said urgently hoping she didn't wake Charlie up.

She cringed. "Sorry." She whispered. "But what?" She asked again.

"It's nothing Alice" I said pulling back the covers so we could climb in.

"Well what did he say?" She asked while pulling back her side.

I climbed in and so did she, we got comfortable before I continued.

"Well I didn't exactly get to tell him. I was about to and before I could he just blurted out that I was a really good friend." She made a face before it turned sympathetic.

"Aw I'm sorry Bell." She said genuinely.

I smiled back. "It's fine Ali." I said normal.

She rolled her eyes. She knew me. I hate showing emotion in front of anyone. Her and Edward included. I never let anyone see when I'm hurt or upset. I hid it was best I could.

But Alice knows when I'm pretending like it's not a big deal but inside I'm hurting. It annoys her because I refuse to cry in front of her, she assumes it's because I don't trust her but that's not it. I just can't get myself to let anyone in that far.

So for me about to share my feelings to Edward earlier and for him to just brush me off is a huge deal and Alice knows it.

"I know you won't admit that you're hurt. But I'm here Bell. Whenever." She reached for my hand in the dark and I put it in hers.

"I know thanks Alice." I said sincerely, quickly wiping one stray tear that betrayed me before drifting off into sleep.

--

"Your really not coming?" Alice whined standing in front of my bed.

I sighed sitting up in bed. "No Ali it's just awkward. Plus we said our goodbye's last night." I explained.

She nodded sadly. "Alright Bell but I will be back later okay." She said.

"Of course Alice." I said smiling.

She came over and hugged me pushing her sunglasses on top of her head.

"Alright. Bye. Love you." She called walking out of my room and down the stairs.

"Love you too." I called back and giggled at my crazy little friend before lying back on my bed and letting the pain take me.

Everything that happened last night came flooding back, because I was finally by myself.

After crying for a least a half an hour I drifted back into an exhausted sleep.

--

"Isabella Marie Swan get your lazy butt up!" Alice shouted from my bedroom door.

I sat up quickly at the high pitch of her voice. "Alice!" I growled sleepily as her and my other best friend Rose giggled.

"We talked about your situation and we figured we aren't going to let you mope about Edward all summer." I rolled my eyes.

"I don't mope." I mumbled under my breath.

"So we are going to have a girl's day." She said dragging me out of bed.

I groaned and got up knowing resistance is futile. They giggled as I stomped off to the bathroom.

Rose slapped my butt and skipped off. Some best friends I have.

--

"Bell it's just a hair cut." Alice whined.

We were at the beauty parlor and they were trying to get me to basically get a makeover. And I was not having it.

"Okay Bella." Rose started out and I quit my protesting because she had her I mean business voice on, and you don't argue with Rose when she is serious.

"Think about this. You finally got you answer from Edward, there is no more wondering. So I suggest you move on. Starting with a new look and just trying to make yourself feel better. I mean it is your junior year. I suggest you start having fun." She said with so much excitement it was contagious.

It might be the chemical fumes but it actually sounded like a good idea. Edward doesn't love me back. I finally, after years got my answer. So why not move on.

"Alright." I whispered.

They raised their eyebrows in question. "Alright." I said more confidently.

"Let's do it." I said excited. They both have looks of shock on their faces but quickly wiped it off and went to work.

They told the hairdresser exactly what they wanted done. They also got my nails and toes done along with my make-up. I was going Monday to get my braces off which they said was perfect timing.

It was time for a new me. I was done being the loser best friend. I wanted to become me. Bella Swan.

--

I was driving home we had our new summer wardrobe's in the trunk of my new car and were headed home singing along with the radio.

"I want to stop somewhere before we go home." I said pulling off at the nearest exit.

Rose and Alice looked at each other and just shrugged. I smiled evilly and drove to my destination.

--

"No Bella. Absolutely not!" Alice put her hands on her hips in defilement.

"Please Ali. Rose agreed. Come on it won't work without you." I begged.

I decided I wanted a tattoo, and once Rose knew where I was going she quickly agreed. So we came up with the idea that we would get best friend tattoo's of sorts.

But Alice is deathly afraid of needles and isn't exactly being easy.

We wanted to each get either, live, laugh or love on our wrist then on our hips the whole saying. Sort of linking ourselves to each other.

"Alice please." Rose begged from her other side.

"It won't be that bad please." I tried again. "Come on Ali live a little."

She closed her eyes and sighed. "Ugh fine." She agreed.

Me and Rose high fived. "Yeah. I think you should get live Alice." I chimed in.

Rose agreed. "And you love Bells." She added.

"Sounds good." It really did fit us. It wasn't who we were but who we needed to be.

Alice needed to take chance not on normal activities she was the most liveliest person I know but on dangerous things. Rose was always so serious all the time. She just needed to have fun and laugh. And me well I needed to let love in, let people in to love.

All our words would be a constant reminder of who we should be.

So we all went in our separate rooms and got our tattoos.

--

"I can't believe you guys made me do that." Alice said in disbelief staring at her wrist, lying on her bed.

Me and Rose smiled. I jumped off the bed and pulled down my jeans slightly to see my hip where it read. "Live, Laugh, Love." I smiled and gently pulled them back up. It was still super soar.

"I love them." Rose gushed.

I turned and smiled widely. "Me too."

We looked to Alice. She rolled her eyes and sighed in defeat. "Fine there adorable. As much as I hate to admit it." She grumbled.

We giggled and I bounced back on the bed in between my two best friends.

"Guys this year lets promise to have fun. No more boy drama, or worrying just lets live." I said passionately.

Alice and Rose have had crushes on our other friends. Jasper and Emmet, but they have their own drama when it comes to that. All last year consisted of all out love life drama. All different types but equally just as irritating. We all likes jack asses for boys but this year we are done. No more letting them break our hearts, this year we're gonna be the ones breaking hearts.

"Promise." Rose said holding up her hand. I smiled and lifted mine to hers. We both looked at Alice expectedly.

"Hell yes. I promise." She said lifting her hands up to ours. We all giggled and eventually fell asleep after a very long, emotional, exhausting day.

It is going to be a great year.
