"Bella, come on! Please have a sleepover with me. It will be so much fun!"

Oh, Alice. She is my best friend. We are ten and just met this year, and we do everything together. I haven't been to her house yet though. She wants me to come over for a sleepover, but I've never slept at someone else's house. I'm really nervous about it.

"Please Bella. You're mom already told me that you could! I asked for you," Alice said as she giggled in front of me.

"Fine, Alice. I'll have a sleepover with you," I concede. I know now that there won't be any way around it. And I do have a lot of fun with Alice. Maybe it won't be so bad.

Alice squealed in delight at my decision and grabbed my hand to take me to where her dad was waiting at their car. "Bella we are going to have so much fun! We can watch movies and polish nails and makeovers! Barbie Bella! That's what you will be!"

"Hey Alice, who is that boy?" I ask as I point towards their car. There was a boy standing near it watching Alice and I. I don't think that I've seen him before.

"Oh that's Edward. He's my brother. He's 12, but don't worry because he's cool. He isn't mean like those guys in class that pull hair," Alice said as she kept pulling me along with her.

I didn't know that Alice had a brother. At least he is nice though, not like that mean Tyler. He is always chasing Alice and me around to pull our hair or throw something at us.

Once we got back to Alice's house, Edward went straight inside and didn't say anything. He didn't talk the whole right back to their house. Alice was helping me bring my stuff into the house, and she kept apologizing for Edward.

"I really don't know what has gotten into him. He is usually really cool and not like those mean guys," Alice said for the hundredth time.

"Alice, it's really okay. I'm here to hang out with you anyway," I assured her as we started up the stair into her house.

I went in the door behind Alice, and of course I fell flat on my face. I am the clumsiest person alive. Alice came running over to help me up, and I looked straight up into the face of Edward laughing at me.

"Edward, be nice! You could at least ask if Bella is okay instead of just laughing at her!" Alice scolded as she helped me to my feet.

I blushed bright red and mumbled something about being fine. I hate falling down in front of people, especially new people. It happens a lot. My mother tells me that I could fall down without even moving.

Edward mentioned that he was going to his room and quickly disappeared, so Alice and I went to her room to begin our sleepover.

"Okay so do you want to start with a makeover or nails?" Alice asked as she darted around her room to get her beauty supplies.

I just sighed and laid down on Alice's bed, "Do we have to do makeovers? I don't want to have all that stuff on my face. Let's just watch a movie instead."

Alice reluctantly agreed, and I even convinced her to watch an action movie instead of a chick flick. We went downstairs to watch the movie in their living room, and Edward was sitting in front of the TV watching something.

"Edward, can me and Bella pretty please have the TV? You can even watch with us," Alice begged.

"I don't want to watch a dumb girl movie," Edward grumbled as he handed over the remote.

"It isn't though. I convinced Alice to watch an action movie!" I proudly announced.

Edward agreed to stay and watch with us, so all three of us squeezed in on their couch. I ended up squished between Edward and Alice, but it was okay. Edward actually was really nice like Alice said he was. The movie was actually really good, but I felt my eyelids getting heavy.

"Bella wake up. Come on, let's go to my room."

I opened my eyes to find Alice knelt down by the couch. I rubbed my eyes and realized that I had fallen asleep during the movie.

"Alice I am so sorry! How long have I been asleep?" I asked. I felt so bad for falling asleep during our sleepover.

"Only a couple hours. Edward covered you up when the movie ended," Alice told me as she started heading towards her room.

I followed her and thought about how nice that was of Edward. He is different from all of the guys in class. Maybe guys get nicer when they turn 12. Oh well, time to stay up all night and not even think about boys!

The rest of our sleepover was really fun. Alice did finally convince me to let her give me a makeover, and the rest of the night she called me Barbie Bella. I don't like all of that stuff on my face, but Alice told me that it looked really pretty on me. We did each other's nails and watched TV all night.

When I left the next morning, Edward helped Alice and I take my stuff to the car. He got a lot nicer the longer I was at their house, so maybe he was just shy. I was really glad that I went to the sleepover because I liked being at their house. They are a lot of fun, and I wasn't lonely. I don't have any brothers or sisters and it gets boring sometimes. Maybe I will come back for some more sleepovers.

Present Day

"Bella, honey. Wake up. Bella."

I felt someone shaking my shoulder and looked up into the eyes of my best friend.

"Oh Alice," I cried as she wrapped me in a hug, "The doctors don't know when he will wake up. They said that there was a complication during surgery. I don't know. He has to wake up Alice, he just has to."

Alice sat down in the chair beside me and we held each other with tears running down our cheeks. I recounted the events of the park to her. How the strange man stood by the fence for a long time, and then pulled out a gun and shot three people. Edward was the last one that got shot. Time stopped as I sat on the ground holding him to me. He was breathing, but not awake. The bullet hit him in the stomach. Then it was a flurry of ambulances and doctors.

"Alice, he was proposing," I tell her as I finish up my story. I held out the ring for her and she grabbed me in a tight hug.

"I know, honey. You know Edward and I tell each other everything," she said as she put the ring on my finger, "Wear it, Bella. He is going to be okay. You know how strong he is. Us Cullens are strong people. So he will be okay."

Alice trailed off into sobs as we clung onto each other. Edward please don't leave us.

So I hope that everyone is enjoying the story! I probably won't always update this close together, so don't get too excited. I just had some time this morning, so I finished up this chapter. Please review and let me know what you think. Thanks for reading! XOXO
