CHAPTER TWO
I didn't have to fall for long. Like always, Jacob was there to catch me. He always manages to be my hero. I cautiously opened my eyes. I looked up and saw my sun, Jake, staring down at me.
"Baby, are you okay?" Jake sounded like a crazy man. He was scared out of his mind.
"Jake, I promise, I'm fine." I was only lying a little.
All of the sudden I heard the sound of running. I looked up. Edward Cullen was running this way.
"Bella," Edward Cullen knew my name? "Bella, you saw that too?" Oh God, he could see the visions too. This was so not happening. Jake would be outraged.
"I don't know what you're talking about? Who are you and how do you know my name?" I said groggily. "Have we met before?"
Part of me wanted to admit that what was going on was actually, well, happening. But, everyone would think I was crazy. My dad would have me admitted to a mental hospital, Jake would be horribly upset, even if I left out the way I felt in that flashback. It was so real, like I was really there, as if I was actually turned on by the bronze haired, emerald eyed man peering down at me longingly.
"Sorry, my name is Edward Cullen. I must be going now." And just like that, Edward rushed out of the room like nothing had happened.
"Let's get you home, Bells. We can celebrate tomorrow or something," Jake said as he helped me get on my feet.

(Edward's Point of View)
I know Bella saw that too. I wonder why she wouldn't admit it. Maybe if I talked to her alone she would discuss it with me.
But what was happening? These visions are so vivid. I feel like I've known Bella my entire life, and not just for the five minutes I've seen her. And I knew her name, like I've spoken to her every day for all my life. But I haven't.
I didn't know if I should tell anyone about this, maybe Alice. Alice would never think I was crazy.
I slowly got up and made my way upstairs to Alice's room.
"Ali, can I talk to you about something?" I'm sure she could hear the hesitance in my voice.
"Sure bubby, come in," Alice said calmly.
I was by far closest with Alice out of all my adopted siblings. She and I were the first two to be adopted. Me being the first, that is. Since we were little we did most things together, and it really showed in how close we were. That's why I knew she would never judge me.
"Alice, have you met that girl at our school? Bella Swan?"
"You mean the cheer captain? No, I haven't met her yet but I can't wait to talk to her about trying out for the squad. Rose and I are going to try out together. Why do you ask?" Alice questioned.
"Well, I saw her today and well, something very weird happened. Almost like a vision or a flashback." I could even stand to look her in the eye. This probably sounded crazy.
"Edward, what do you mean flashback?" She sounded a little hesitant to ask.
"I mean I saw her and me in the 1920's. She was wearing a flapper dress and I was in a suit and tie. She was wearing the same necklace she had on today and I feel somewhere deep down inside me that I was the one who gave it to her. And I also feel like I know her, and I mean really know her. Not like I talked to her and got close but like I know her deepest desires, all her wants, like I've spent my entire life with her. Alice I know it sounds crazy but it happened to me, and I know Bella saw it too, but I have no idea what's going on. Ali, help me please, tell me I'm not going coo-coo."
"Woah, Edward, relax, please. I don't think you're crazy. I think you need to breathe. Are you sure Bella saw this too?"
"Yes," I didn't hesitate. I knew with absolute certainty that Bella saw exactly what I did. I only wondered if she felt the same way.
"I think you shouldn't be talking to me about this."
"Ali, what do you mean? I need your he—,"
"You should be talking to Bella," Alice cut me off.
"Do you really think that's a good idea?" It sounded like a horrible idea. What if, even though I was sure Bella saw what I did, that God forbid I was wrong. What would she think of me?
"I think it's a great idea! Now scoot! I'm busy organizing my closet."
I headed back downstairs to my room. Once I got there I sat and wondered. Would Bella feel the same way I do? It's almost like I was falling for a girl I've known for one day, and only talked to for five minutes, if that.
And what if she didn't feel the same? I think I would be crushed if Bella didn't want to even try… And of course she's with the quarter back, Jacob. How fitting, the football star and the head cheerleader, together.
I eventually decided to just try and fall asleep, wondering if Bella was tossing and turning in her bed like I was. I couldn't get my mind to shut up. But, I think somewhere around midnight I finally let sleep succumb me, and of course I dreamed of a brown haired, chocolate eyed, beauty.
AN: How ironic, Edward going to Alice to talk about visions! Ha-ha! I wonder what's in store for Bella & Edward tomorrow. Sometimes I don't even know, I just write where the story takes me. I do hope you enjoyed the second chapter of IKWYA and I would love your reviews. Honestly, besides when I got engaged, I've never been so excited to in my life. To think someone out there read something I wrote and actually liked it! Thank you all so much! I should have another chapter up soon :) I decided to make this one a bit short because the next one is going to be jam packed with drama and Edward may or may not talk to Bella and some crazy things may or may not happen. Hmmm, we'll just have to see!
Ta-ta for now, Lovlies!
