"Bella, what's wrong?", Alice asked as she hugged me.

"Guys... Edward was here."

Alice POV

"What?", we all asked in unison, while I released her. There is no way in hell the this could be happening.

"Bella, what are you talking about?", I asked a little more fiercely that I had first intended.

"I don't know, Alice. "I think I just saw him...", she turned to pint us a location. "There, by the bar, right in the back. First I thought that I was going crazy and I closed my eyes but just when I opened them and found this at the edge of the stage." , she standed the flower for us to see. Sure thing was a red lily. Must be a coincidence, though. He wouldn't dare...

I tried to disguise my sudden anger mixed with fear in reason to try to calm her down. But Bella wasn't done talking yet.

"I... I think it was him, Alice.", she kept going, grabbing my arm. She was as cold as death. "I can't be sure, though. Everything was kind of fast. One minute I saw those same eyes, same messy bronze hair, and then I closed my eyes, thinking that I was losing my mind or something and just when I looked up again, he was at the door... He, or this person that looks like him or whatever... " She sounded like she was about to cry.

"I... Wha...", she stuttered a little. "I mean, am I crazy? Please. Tell me that I'm overreacting. That I couldn't be him. Could it? I'm mean, he's still in Baltimore, right? Still not giving a fly fuck about me, right? Right?", my heart sunk into my stomach.

Why, for the all things that are sacred, can't she get one little thing that makes her really happy? Why?

"Of course he is still there doing his stupid medical crap at Hopkins. He barely calls home. No need to say anything about coming here. You probably was just got caught up in the moment, sweetie." I rushed on saying this, taking the lily away from her hands. "This is nothing, do you hear me? Bella, you need to stop doing this to yourself. It's about time for you to move on. Please! Forget about him. Pretend that he doesn't exist. That's what I do."

Rosalie came closer and gave Bella a one-arm hug. "Bella, stop it. It has been four years now, since the last time we saw him. He's in the past , and he has no one to blame but himself for it. It is not your fault. Do you hear me? Stop it! You deserved much better than him. You deserve happiness." she said, squeezing our friend gently. "He, on the other hand, deserves at least a STD.", she said acidly. "That asshole.", she muttered.

"Rosalie..." Jasper said in a warning tone. "Be nice." I frowned. Why Jasper wanted her to be nice about Edward? I am his sister and I don't care.

"I am being nice, Jasper. That prick turned his back on all of us, don't you forget that. I'm not saing that I think that this part", she said pointing each one of us, with exception of Bella." is forgivable by any means. But that's nothing compared to what he did to her. And that, my dear brother, it's not a very nice thing to do too, so don't you lecture me about what I say when it comes to this the subject in particular.", she scolded at him.

"I'm not saying that what he did was right. Not it all. But, he was one of us one day. In respect to that, I think that we should at least respect this memories." Jasper replied, but when Rosalie opened her mouth to say something, he cut her off. "Yes, Rosalie. I know that he deserve all this anger, but I just think that, by doing this kind of stuff, we are just measuring up at what he has done."

"Yeah, babe. Calm down. It's not worth it.", Emmett agreed, havinf Jasper's back.

What was it with these guys today?

I was thinking about when Emm kept talking. "Look, Bells, you know that you're like a sister for us, right?", she nodded

"Good, 'cause you're family, and as such, we are responsible for taking care of each other. So I'm not saying that I don't believe you. For all I know, Edward could be at Malaysia right now. So sure, he could have been here. But let me ask you this: after all this time, why does it matter? He cut himself out of our lives. He was the one that chose this. So be it! Let the memories that you have of him go. You own this to yourself. All that we want is that you give yourself a chance to be happy, to be the Bella that we all used to know. We love you, no matter what. But you should know by now that see you in this much pain just cause us pain as well." he grabbed her hand, looking fiercely at her eyes, full of tears already.

Who knew that Emm would chose now of all that times to be the wise one?

"You're beautiful, smart, funny." Bella blushed a thousand shades of red and I chuckled. When she will get used to receive a compliment? They were totally true, by the way. "A little clumsy? Sure. Stubornn as hell? Well, yeah! But, you know what? Who cares? If anything, it just make you more interesting. And I know that it's hard, and that what happened between the two of you is one of a kind. But things turned out to be like that, my brother being stupid enough to let you go. But it was his lost. You can do better than that." He squeezed her hand as well.

She was in tears, at this point, but she managed to nodd. I hugged her. "Bella, what do you want to do now? Do you wanna go home? I'll talk to Angela."

Fighting her tears back, she shook her head. "No... I'll sing one more. Than we can go. You guys enjoy the night a little more. I'm fine."

"You're sure?", I asked, not so sure if that was a good idea.

"We don't mind, Bella. You feel free to say when you want to live.", Rosalie complemented at the same second that Jasper's cell phone went off and he excused himself.

"Yeah, I'm sure. I'll just go to the bathroom splash some water over my face, put myself together. Alice, could you just let Angela know, please?", she asked me

"Sure thing.", than I had an idea. So much better! "Oh, I'll do better than that. Rose, can you tell Angie? I'm going with Bella and have some Bella-barbie time." I turned to see her making a face at me. "What? You have to look your best. You are a star now, my dear. And should not show up at that stage looking less than this. Now, come on!", I said, clapping my hands.

We walked in there in silence, both of us too lost in our own thoughts to be chatting.

He couldn't be doing this to us again. To her! I never realy understood what really happened to him to everything end up like this.

I remember how things were. And, sure, I miss that too.

Feels like yesterday when we were all together like a family, when he still was the brother that I used to love so much.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FLASH ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh Edward! Disgusting! Get off my friend, for the love of God!", I said as I entered his room to let them know that everyone was there already, and getting in the middle of what it looked like a really serious make out session. I covered my eyes and kept walking towards them. "Argh! You are so going to pay for my therapy."

"Alice, what are you doing here?", Edward asked, rather annoyed.

"I needed to talk to someone and I didn't found anyone, so I came here to find you guys. I need someone to vent!", I said as put my left hand in front of me and walked until I could locate the bed. "Can I open my eyes now?"

"Sure, Alice. You said that you wanted to talk?", Bella asked concerned.

I chuckled. "Nah, I was just messing around with you. Actually, I came to let you know that Jazz and Rose are already here and Emmett brought pizza. We're going to watch movies. Are you two love birds coming to join us?"

Edward let out a heavy sigh and than answered. "Yeah, sure. Why not?", he came to my direction smiling and messed up my hair. "How can someone be so small and so freaking annoying at the same time?"

Bella and I start to laugh as we all headed downstairs. "Yeah, I know. It's a gift!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~END OF THE FLASH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sighed. What happen? What did I missed? Bella never was the same again. Hell, none of us was the same again. I hate him what he became... I hate what he did to us. I dodn't get it. Really. We were so happy. When thing get so mess up?

Bella was know washing her face. She looked better now. I hope she listen to us this time. She deserved to be happy. I need to know that what he inflicted on her was not irreversible. Seen her face when she came to us just nowset my nerves to edge. She looked like the day that I told her what I've seen in Baltimore. She looked sick, like if someone had dug a hole in her chest. She was devastated, but I had to tell her. I had to open her eyes for what he has done. He was my brother, but Bella... Bella was my person. She was my anyway friend and she deserved better than that. That's for sure.

After cleaned up her face, she turned to me with a weak smile. "Okay, I'm ready for your torture. Just do your thing already!"

I laugh. "Oh shut it! You know you love it!", she rolled her eyes at me. Yeah... I'll look out for her. I'll help her find someone.

"Okay, done.", I announced.

"Already? That was quick!", she said in amazement.

"Yeah, I know. Am I good or what?", I said as I turn her to look her face at the mirror.

She smiled at me so genuinely that I could not help but smile back. "You're the best, Alice."

And then she hugged me tightly. "Thank you.", and I knew that she was not referring to makeup.

"You're more than welcome.", was all I could said.

Bella let out a heavy breath and than announced, "Okay, I'm ready."

And I really hope she was.

We headed back to the crowd, and some sort of dance music was on. Angela was at the table talking to Rose and the guys when we approach.

"Hey Bella... Are you okay?", she nooded, "Rosalie just told me. Look, you don't have to come back there today. I don't want you to feel bad about living."

"I'm okay now, Angela. Relaxe. I wanna do it, okay? As soon as this song is over, I'm ready to get back there."

"You're sure?", she asked

Bella smile grew wide. "I am."

"Okay, than. Come.", Angela stand up and grab Bella's hand.

"Good luck."

"Thanks, guys. See you in a few.", she waved to us as she left.

I sighed as I took my sit next to Jasper.

"So, how did that go? Is she alright?", Rose asked.

"Yeah... I think she's okay now. I believe that this time, she'll maybe listen to us.", I replied.

"How come?", Jasper asked as he kissed my cheek.

"I don't know... Something she said to me in there. Hey, look. She's on!", I pointed out. Everyone started to clapping as she approached the microphone.

"Hey, I'm back! Did anyone missed me?", everyone at the crowd applauded in confirmation. At our table, we all laugh. "Well, I'll cut this short than and just said. THis next song is to my friends right over there. My family, my everything. I hope they know that.", she smiled at us as the beat to I've Got You, by McFly. We all stand up for dancing, grinn like fools.

The world would be a lonely place
Without the one that puts a smile on your face
So hold me 'til the sun burns out
I won't be lonely when I'm down

'Cause I've got you
to make me feel stronger
when the days are rough
and an hour seems much longer

Bella was jumping at the stage, laughing and pointing at us. And I saw it. We would be okay. We have each other. Wherever was happening, we'll get pass it. Because together we're stronger.

I never doubted you at all
The stars collide, will you stand by and watch them fall? [by and watch them fall]
So hold me 'til the sky is clear
And whisper words of love right into my ear

'Cause I've got you
to make me feel stronger
When the days are rough
and an hour seems much longer
Yeah when I got you
Oh to make me feel better
When the nights are long they'll be easier together

Looking in your eyes
Hopping they won't cry
And even if you do
I'll be in bed so close to you

Hold you through the night
And you'll be unaware
That if you need me I'll be there

We were still dancing, boucing around each other been we heard, "Alice, Rose, Guys!", we look at her. "Come up here!" We stay put, a lit beat in shock, but, as everyone started to cheering, we ran at there. We get a arm around at each other and singing with her.

Yeah I've got you
Oh to make me feel stronger
When the days are rough
and an hour seems much longer
Yeah when I got you
to make me feel better
When the nights are long they'll be easier together
Oooh and I've got you

After Bella sang more two songs, we said ours goodbyes and headed home. Bella was opening the door. We both giggling at sillyness when I caught a strange and what so ever familiar silver glimpse. No...

"Alice? Are you coming or dying freezed out there?", Bella asked a little amused.

"You go ahead. I forgot something at the car...", I replied, distracted by the car that started to moving.

"You're okay?", she asked in concern.

"Yeah. Go ahead.", I said again. The car was getting closer. No... It couldn't be him. I think just I got a little caught up at the club thing.

"Okay...", she said as she get inside our place. The car passed in front of us and I saw it. Those beautiful and sad green eyes that I didn't get to see in a very long time. No doubt in my mind. It was him.

"Edward... Why...?", I chocked on my questions as a tear rolled down my face.
