A.N. Hah yah I'm super excited that you guys have this story under an alert but you know what would make me even happier my first review!! Anyway this chapter might be even short because I am doing a project at the same time: P hope you all enjoy it anyway Ps Edward and Alice aren't related in this
Chapter 2: Alice BrandonBPOV
As Alice and I walked into the cafe I kept trying to think of someone good enough for her. Since I wasn't paying attention like always Alice picked the table.. the table I would do anything to avoid under any circumstances, Edward's table.
"Um uh Hi Edward" she squeaked "Can we sit here?" That's odd Alice nervous hmm"Be my guest" he smiled clearly enjoying the effect he had on her I simply rolled my eyes and sat down
"Bella sitting a my table wow this is a first" I just smirked and replied "Don't push your luck Edward this so isn't happening again "
"We'll just have to see about that I really am quite irresistible" at this Alice giggled like a little school girl and I gave her a look of confusion, This is so odd for Alice she never usually acts like this what's going on? Then it hit her, Noooo Alice likes Edward he is so not right for her what am I going to do?"Bella? Bella!? Earth to Bella " I shook my head
"What Alice?"
" I was wondering if you wanted anything to drink"
"Um no I'm fine thanks"
"Okay then " with that she pranced over to the soda machine and got herself a coke
"Your friend is…. For lack of a better word very energetic " Edward said with a smile
" Yep that's Alice for yah"
"Speak of the Devil and he shall appear" Alice said in an eerie voice as she returned
The rest of lunch Alice giggled and blush like some crazed groupie from an Edward Cullen convention when the bell finally rang we got up to leave and I placed my hand on Alice's forehead
"Are you alright you're acting really weirdly"
"Oh I'm fine more than fine actually did you hear how he laughed at my jokes Oh, Bella I know I told you I didn't want you to set me up with anyone…."
"Stop right there your obviously delusional how can you ask me to do that to my bestfriend Alice you know what he's like don't you "
"Yes but I I I well I think your biased"
"BIASED, BIASED I am not BIASED Alice Brandon your just a a a LOVESTRUCK TWIT, wait not love struck because well its Edward your just a twit then for believing that he actually has some sort of redeeming quality inside of him " I said all too loudly and icily people were beginning to stare
"I am not a Twit " she said as her eyes started to well I hadn't noticed that mine had too until I felt tears rolling down my face " You just don't want me to Happy!!" Alice cried "I finally find someone I want you to set me up with and you WON'T, you just want me to go out with all the losers and save the good ones for yourself, it's a good thing I realize now that you're a SELFISH BIASED BITCH who doesn't care for anyone but herself"
I couldn't hold back my sobs any longer I let them run down my face uncontrollably as she turned and walked out of the room. How could she say that I'm not selfish I'm looking out for her aren't I? I decided not to go to class looking like this and went home "sick" I sat by the phone just waiting for her to call a couple of times I almost called her ... almost but every time I would pick up the phone well I would start to cry again I couldn't let her know what she did to me. Finally the phone rang and I all but pulled the cord out of the wall
"ALICE ALICE?" I said nervously excited
"Bells you alright honey" Oh its just dad I felt my face physically drop once again
"Yeah I'm fine" I said in a monotone so he wouldn't know that I really wasn't
"Oh Okay well I just wanted to tell you I'll be home late tonight why don't you have Alice over for dinner so you aren't all alone"
uh oh here comes the break down"Oh sure dad that would be GREAT if Alice were still my friend " with that I slammed the phone into the receiver and sat back down into a chair
Then the door bell rang I sniff and wipe my eyes checking my face in the mirror before answering the door I didn't want anyone to know I was crying
"Hello?" I said glumly before answering
"Bella?" a concerned voice asked Great just because my life isn't bad enough yet he has to come while I'm moping"Go away Edward I don't need your criticism at the moment thanks anyway though " I said icily
"Bella I just came to see how you were feeling they said you went home sick but I'm guessing you aren't actually sick considering Charlie isn't home playing nurse yet"
"He's working late and how do you know I'm not sick" I said through the door
"Just let me in … please" he said the last word so softly she could just barely here it
"Fine you can come in but I make no promises I won't just throw you right back out" I opened the door very slowly to see that it had been raining the whole time "Oh I'm sorry Edward I made you stand in the rain"
"Oh no that's fine , you gonna tell me what happened"
" Have you eaten yet?" I asked trying to change the subject
" No actually I haven't " I knew my plan hadn't worked on him but atleast he didn't go back to the subject yet
"Great I was about to make soup you can have some"
"Sounds delightful "
"Your so full of it "
"Full of what?" he asked cocking his head to one side
"You know what" I said rolling my eyes
"Oh I know but do you?"
"Anyway what kind of soup do you want?"
"Chicken Noodle sounds about right"
"Good cause that's the only kind we have" I smiled weakly and he chuckled
I turned the stove on and sat down to wait for the soup to be ready, at this Edward adjusted his chair. Oh great here it comes
"So Bella are you going to tell me what's wrong or am I going to have to force it out of you" she smiled
"I'd like to see you try" I challenged
He raised his eyebrow and said "I really don't think you do "
"Oh I do"
"Alright then " he put on a wicked grin and walked slowly towards me
I slowly backed away "Edward?"
"I told you, you didn't want to see me try but you said you did so here you go" quicker than I could have imagined he raced towards me picked me up and started tickling me
Damn my one weakness I started laughing uncontrollably "Edward Edward put me down"
"Not until you tell me what's wrong" he said and continued to torture me
"Okay Okay I'll tell you " I said once the ache in my sides was actually becoming very painful
"Good" with that he threw me onto the couch
"Humph what do you want to know " I asked
"What happened after lunch"
"Oh that I got food poisoning simple as that" I lied even though I was never any good at it
"Oh and that's why you were balling?" He asked sarcastically
"Yes actually it is " I sniffed the air "What's that burning smell? OH NO the soup"
I raced to the kitchen and turned of the burner just in time "See what you did I scolded him "
"What it's still good now tell me what really happened"
"B but the soup is getting cold" I said struggling for a better excuse
"Fine we will eat while you talk "
"Okay I give up me and Alice had a fight"
"Oh really " I could tell by his expression this was not what he was expecting
"Yep what did you expect Mike Newton raped me or something?" I joked
"Yes actually" his face perfectly seriously until the corners of his mouth started to twitch and then became a full smile " So this fight what exactly was this about?"
"Her taste in men " I said quietly hoping he wouldn't know it was about him
" Yes okay what about her taste in men "
"It's well um not very…. Well thought out you could say,"
"Hmm okay let me guess Alice likes someone the All Might Matchmaker doesn't approve of does she?"
"Basically" I said with a sad smile
"Listen Bella you can't control who everyone likes just because it would be a bad choice it isn't fair to them"
"But she'll get hurt I'm just trying to protect her "
"I see well then I can't do much now can I "
" Well" I said shyly
"What?"
"You could well I don't know ask her on a date? Possibly"
"Oh I m the bad choice am I " he said with no trace of a smile on her face
" You're not a bad choice just a bad choice for her "
"What makes you think we wouldn't be good together?"
"The fact that you don't belong with her trust me Edward I know these things"
"I'm sure you do Bella but really I don't see what your harsh assumption is based on"
"I don't know either but just ask her out on a date so she can see you guys don't belong together"
"No so Bella what names did she call you this time?"
"A selfish biased bitch" I mumbled "And just why won't you ask her out?"
"Because I have no reason to, your not a bitch Bella but I think I might agree with everything else in that sentence" he said as he got up to leave
"What!! I am not selfish or biased or maybe I am I don't know GOODNIGHT Edward " with that he walked out and I slammed the door after him Why must he always be right it's not fair?
