Hi guys.. Here's the next chapter… I hope you all like it. Please be patient with me, I have finals this week in school, so I won't be able to post as quick. However, the chapter after this is coming :) Please review… I get an email letting me know about them and I swear my family asks why I'm grinning like such an idiot. It is embarrassing, but makes my day like 800 times better… Please?

Special Thanks to my BFF and awesome Beta, Can't Decode Me. You are amazing, and the guacamole part is for you, remember?

I should probably state right about now since I forgot last chapter, that I don't own twilight, but I sure as hell wish that I did. :)

BPOV

I knew that waking up today would be weird, but I didn't expect to have a pounding migraine added to it. The sunlight that was coming in my room past my curtains was blinding, and felt like I was on a sunny beach looking straight at the sun with no glasses on. I got up out of bed, as unwilling and reluctant as I was to get some Tylenol, hoping and praying that the pain from last night would go away soon. Part of me knew inside that even if I got rid of the pain in my head, the pain in my heart from kissing Alice last night would still be there. I pushed the thought out of my mind for the moment, knowing that it would come up later. I looked up into the mirror in the bathroom, and came to a conclusion that I was an absolute mess from last night. My make up was smeared around my face, my hair was in knots, and my eyes were bloodshot. A shower sounded like an excellent idea, for me to both wake up and clean up the disaster of a tornado that struck my face. I turned on the shower and got undressed, stepping into the cloud of steam. It had never felt so good in my life. I almost felt dirty after last night, and had the idea that the more soap I used, the more I could wash away last night's memories that I felt so guilty about. Soaping up, I got lost in my own thoughts that were screaming in my head.

"I love Alice with all my heart, I… I just can't be with her that way… I want a boyfriend.. right? Of course I do. What Alice and I did, was awesome, and I don't regret it, I just feel this guilt about it. It probably shouldn't have happened, but what can I possibly do about it now? I'm just confused about myself, and need some time to think. And once I do, I'll have everything figured out, and things can go back to normal around here." I took a deep breath, the steam filling my throat and lungs. It was relaxing for just a minute, until Alice came in the bathroom.

"Hey Bella?" she asked, her small voice filling the bathroom. She didn't sound as perky as usual, like something was bothering her, but nonetheless she sounded like Alice still.

"Yeah?" I asked back through the shower curtain.

"When you're done in there, can you come out here? I just want to talk to you..about some stuff." she responded back gently.

"Of course" I said back. Yeah sure, things were a little bit awkward between Alice and I, but it was nothing that changed our normal behaviors in friendship.

"Ok!" She said back, clearly happy that we were going to discuss some things. I rinsed the strawberry conditioner out that was in my hair, and did a quick rinse off all over before wringing out my hair and grabbing a towel. There really wasn't anything going on today here, it was a typical Sunday for me, which meant one thing:sweats and a t-shirt. I pulled on my favorite Guns 'N' Roses t-shirt and some sweatpants, and brushed out my hair. I physically felt much more clean after my shower, which was definitely positive. I walked out of my bedroom and went into the living room to find Alice sitting on the couch, staring at the T.V. She was watching Food Network, and looked pretty bored by it.

"Hey. Where's Rose at?" I asked her, curious.

"She left a bit ago. She and Emmett went out for breakfast I think." Alice said, smiling at me. "Come over here Bells." I sat down next to her on the couch, nervous for what she was about to say to me. Wait a minute, why should I be nervous? This is Alice, my best friend, not some stranger. I know her better than anyone, and I shouldn't be nervous about this, it's ridiculous. I could feel my heart beating in my chest as I waited for her to say something, and as if she heard my thoughts, she did exactly that.

"Bella…. we both know we need to talk about last night. I would never want anything to be weird between us, and I think you know that…" She paused for a moment before going on. "You know me, I fucking suck at saying this kind of stuff." I laughed with her, knowing she was right. When there was anything important that Alice had to say, that didn't involve make up, hair products, and the newest pair of Marc Jacobs, she would get nervous.

"Alice, just spit it out. I think you're making us both more nervous than we have to be" I giggled at her.

"I think I'm gay. I don't know what came over me last night, Bells, I really don't. I don't regret it at all, the only thing I would ever regret is hurting our friendship in some way. I didn't know if it was true or not, because to be quite honest a few months ago I don't think I knew myself very well. As a kid, I was always raised to be the girly, flirty type for guys, to attract them. Esme always used to tell me that I would find that one, special guy, that "Knight In Shining Armor" that would just turn my whole world around, but I don't think it is that way. It's taken me a long time to figure this all out, because these feelings for girls have just been recently coming up. And at first, I didn't really know what they were, but now I do…. I hope I didn't ruin anything in our friendship, Bella, because rooming with you in an apartment with Rose during college has been one of the best experiences of my life." She told me honestly, and I could see the tears welling up in her eyes.

"Hun, you didn't ruin anything…but you know we can't be together, because I'm straight, and you need to be my best friend." I told her with a smile. She nodded with me, agreeing. "I love you for who you are, and it doesn't matter to me what you like, you're still my Alice, my best roomie in college, always. Now come here and hug me, you crazy girl!" She easily came in and slipped into my arms, and I felt a huge wave of relief come over me.

"So on a less heavy note, what are your plans for the day?" I asked her genuinely.

"Um, you know, I think Rose wanted to have a movie day later. It is Sunday, so I doubt there's much we can do late tonight anyways." she replied.

"Oh okay, that sounds fun. What movies are we going to see?" I questioned.

"Well Rose wanted to watch Inception, she heard that it was really good from a girl in her Auto class. And besides that, I'm not sure. I guess we'll figure out in Blockbuster." she laughed. Us three were the kind of people that would leave the apartment, have no clue where we were going for the day, or what we were doing, but would figure it out on the way.

"Is it just us, or are the guys coming too?"

"They are coming too, Rose wanted to see Emmett. And I'm sure that Jasper and Edward could get out a bit from their man cave." We both laughed after she said that. They got out with other people every so often, but mostly if they weren't out with all of us, then they were at home at their apartment. After this Alice got in the shower, and we were both in the kitchen, trying to find something to put together that could be called "breakfast".

"ALICE! Why is it that whenever we want to cook something, there is absolutely nothing in the fridge to do so?" I asked, frustrated.

"I have no idea, but that does remind me. We should go grocery shopping for snacks for later tonight anyways, so we can just lengthen that trip for regular groceries too. I mean, God forbid all the men come over, and we have no food. That has never happened before, what ever would they think of us?" she asked, sarcasm dripping from her words.

"Gee, I don't know. We better take extra precautions and make sure that doesn't occur." I joked back, playing in her game. It was like every time they decided they were coming over, we had no food. Most times we ran to the grocery store, unless we were too lazy to get out of the house, in which case we would beg that they pick up something. I fished out some eggs and bacon from the fridge miraculously, and handed them to Alice. She put the bacon on to cook, and started scrambling the eggs. We ate in the living room watching TV, and before we knew it, it was 2:00 in the afternoon, and we still had to go to the grocery store.

"Do you want to drive or should I? Al asked.

"You can if you want to." I replied, knowing she did. We got in the car, and into the grocery store. The good thing about going to the store with Alice was that she was a no-nonsense kinda girl in there. She wasn't like a usual person who would take 10 minutes deciding which black pepper would be better. We were in and out of the store within 45 minutes, which was a record timing, compared to when Rose came with us. Al drove home, and we went back inside the apartment.

"Hey Rose. How was breakfast with lover boy?" I teased her, knowing she'd get annoyed with me. We played a lot like that, it was our little joke.

"Just dandy, we shared some pancakes at the House Of Pancakes and then shared lots of saliva. And then.." I cut her off.

"Ok, ok, you win. No more, too much info for me to handle." I said back in defeat. We all unloaded the groceries into the refrigerator and the cabinets, and then sat down for a bit to relax. Rose was talking about her fixing all these problems with a car in Auto and how much fun it was, when Al and I were just confused about what parts she was talking about. Rose was very girly, and always had her hair curled or straightened and full makeup. But once you got her by a car, she became completely different. She definitely wasn't afraid to get her hands greasy. After a while of her car talk, I got up and went to the kitchen to make snacks for later. We weren't really having dinner, it was more snacking throughout the night. I chopped up onions, cilantro, garlic, and squeezed lime juice to make guacamole. I had never seen anyone use a avocado corer before Alice showed me how, so I was always fascinated by it. Rose was on the 5 layer bean dip duty, and Alice was cutting fruits for a salad. At around 5, we put everything out on the table, and soon after the guys arrived.

"Hey." Rose said to Emmett as he walked in the door first. "Hi guys."

"Hey." Jasper and Edward said back, following Emmett. Alice and I were in the kitchen, but I could tell by Rose's tone of voice that something was wrong. She didn't say anything earlier, she acted just fine. I was suspicious, but got distracted when the oven timer for the bean dip went off. I rushed over to get it, and everyone else went to the table to get snacks. The guys had picked up the movies on the way over, so we were going to indeed watch Inception, as well as Forrest Gump. I was glad they picked a great classic. Once they all got food, they sat down in the living room, and I came to join them. Rose and Emmett were sitting next to each other on the love seat, but their body language was weird. As far as I could tell, nothing had happened, yesterday night they were great. I decided to let it go and pay attention to Inception. The movie was very intense, so we really didn't say much throughout it. It was one of those movies that if you didn't pay attention for 5 minutes, you could completely lose what was going on. Jasper got up to pop the other movie in, and Emmett got up to get more food. I got up, and told Al I was going to get into more comfortable silk pajamas. I walked into my room and closed the door. I was tugging off my sweats and bent over to grab my pajama bottoms out of their drawer, when I heard a quick gasp of breath behind me. I turned around quickly, and was shocked to see Edward standing there.

"Oh my god!" I shouted, running in a circle. It was like when you were panicked for being late to work or school. You weren't sure what do with yourself after hopping out of bed like a jet, so you're throwing on jewelry and socks, forgetting about pants until after you brushed your teeth. After I was done acting like a spaz, I grabbed my pajama bottoms, pulling them on. It wasn't really a use then, but it made me feel better.

"Oh! I'm so sorry… I didn't think anyone was in here. I was just passing through to go to the bathroom. I'm sorry." he apologized. "However, I must say, you are kinda hot standing there in your underwear." I think my jaw literally dropped a foot when he said that. We were just friends, he had never been so bold before.

"Um, thanks I guess?" I replied, not really knowing what to say back to him. My heart was skipping beats, and I couldn't help but look at his tight clinging t-shirt and messy I-Just-Got-Done-Having-Sex hair.

"Bella, I have to tell you something. I know we're just friends, but I like you…" he trailed off.

"I kinda like you too." I thought to myself, then repeating it aloud. What am I doing? Just last night I was kissing Al, and now I'm telling Edward that I like him? I mean, it was true. I kinda always had a thing for him, but I never said anything. I was going out with Jake for a long time, and until we broke up, I really liked Jake. But Edward was in the back of my mind always, I had just never said anything.

He came up to me and looked into my eyes, and I thought I was going to faint. His smell was intoxicating, even more so since we were alone in my bedroom. And just like last night, I couldn't even figure out what was going on before his lips crashed into mine, moving gently against them. I kissed his back, loving every second of it. I didn't feel guilt, or hurt behind the kiss, just want. He pulled away and grinned at me, and I smiled back. I mean, who couldn't smile after kissing Edward?

Thanks so much for reading! Please Review! I'll take anything...
