Suddenly there was a knock on the door. I quickly wiped away the tears and made my way to answer the door. And there stood …

... Mike. Without invitation he just came in. Surprised I closed the door behind him.

"Please Mike I'm really not in the mood for being around someone."

I knew I was being rude but at that moment I didn't care. For a moment he just stood there looking as if he just wondered how to start what ever he was going to tell me. He took a deep breath and started.

"I'm sorry Bella, but I thought you could need a friend now. You know I've heard that the Cullens are gone. I just wanted to be with you." He paused and looked at me as if he was waiting for me to say something. I didn't. So after a moment he just went on.

"You know I have always loved you. I could make you happy. After all it seems as if Cullen never really loved you. I just wanted to ask you to give me a chance."

I knew now it was on me to say something and I would have to make clear that this would never happen. But he looked at me with so much hope that I didn't know how to start.

He interpreted my silence wrong and said.

"You don't have to feel guilty because of Cullen, it-"

"No." I just had to stop him her before he got evenmore into it.

"What do you mean?" he asked

"Mike. You know I like you. As a friend. I don't love you like I love Edward." It was so hard for me to say his name and my voice nearly broke at that point. "I really would like to stay friends with you. But what you have in mind will never happen. I'm sorry."

He just looked at me. I couldn't read his expression. In fact it was scaring.

"Please I wasn't joking. I really want to be alone now."

I waited for him to move,but he didn't.

I couln't believe it. She rejected me. I thought now that that stupid Cullen is out of the way she would welcome me with open arms. How could she. No. Obviously she was out of her mind and didn't know what opportunity she was about to miss. I would simply have to force her for her luck. Soon enough she would apreciate having me around. I would just have to point out more clearly how much I wanted her and in what ways…

It's getting easier to write so I think I'll upload the next chapter soon.

PLEASE REVIEW!
