I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT

Chapter 3

Song: She Is by The Fray

"Do not get me wrong I cannot wait for you to come home

For now you're not here and I'm not there, it's like we're on our own

To figure it out, consider how to find a place to stand

Instead of walking away and instead of nowhere to land"

- The Fray

As I was walking back to Alice waiting in the parking lot, so many thoughts were running through my head. I mean I was so happy Edward had kissed me, it was only on the cheek but still it meant so much to me. Maybe this will all work out the way I always wanted it to. The picture perfect couple, the best friends becoming lovers in the end because they realize they belong together...okay maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. But still I think his goodbye was certain that he wanted this too. I think. As I got into the car Alice bombarded me with questions.

She grabbed my shoulders and said "Bella what happened? Did he kiss you? What did he say? Tell me everything!" She started to shake my shoulders! Geez she really need to calm down...

I grabbed her face "Alice, Alice...you need to calm down" I said looking into her eyes. Then we realized how ridiculous we were acting and busted out laughing. This is why she's my best friend. Besides Edward of course...ah Edward....

"Okay okay just tell me what happened." She said putting the car into drive.

A smile grew on my face just thinking about it. "Well first he saved me from hitting my face flat on the ground."

"Typical Bella." She stated laughing

"Anyways." I said rolling my eyes. "Then he hugged me really tight, whispered in my ear telling me he'll miss me and kissed my cheek" I sighed a sign on contentment.

She let one of her hands to grab my arm and squeezed it. "Aww Bella that is such a romantic movie moment!"

I laughed. "I know right? Ah I can't wait until he gets back." I sighed looking out the side window daydreaming about the day he comes back. He'll see me in the crowded terminal and run to me and pick me up in his arms and give me the best kiss I have ever had. Wow Bella you are soo corny sometimes. That stuff only happens in books and movie. This is real life remember? I know but it's just nice to think about it sometimes.

Saturday 18

I was just getting out of my last class when my phone buzzed in my purse. The screen read 'Edward'. My heart speed up and with shaky hands I answered the phone smiling.

"Hello?" I answered my voice sounding small.

"Hey Bella!" He exclaimed. He sounded so cute when he did that. "Ouch! You guys stop!" His voice sound distant. "I'm sorry Bella but Emmett and Jasper are wrestling and they keep bumping in to me" He laughed toward the end. I guess they were all in Chicago visiting Esme and Carlisle, their parents.

I laughed picturing the scene. "It's okay I know how they can be." Remembering a time when everyone was at Alice and mines apartment playing video games and things got a little competitive. Jasper and Emmett thought it was a good idea to start a "manly" pillow fight...yeah I don't understand either. But anyways in the end half our living room was like it was hit by a tornado. "Your lucky your still alive." I joked.

He laughed then. "Yeah I know." It grew quiet and I heard a door close. I guess he moved to another room. "So how is your day so far?"

"Um it's alright, I just got out of class. What about you? How is yours going?" I asked taking a seat at the campus cafe. I looked out the window, it was starting to rain.

"Not so great, I just got here and my parents have already arranged a dinner party tonight. They invited some old family friends. The Denali's. That's why I called, I didn't know if I'll be able to get a chance later tonight." Edward said

I blushed, he wanted to make sure he talked to me tonight. I laughed a bit. "Aw Edward I'm sure you'll be fine. Who are the Denali's anyway?" I was curious, he never mentioned them before.

He stuttered a bit at first, "Uuh just some old family friends." I had a feeling he was hiding something, but I shrugged it off. What could be so bad about family friends they were probably more friends of Esme and Carlisle then Edward and his brothers.

I was about to open my mouth but Edward spoke again, "Hey Bella, I'm sorry I have to go. My mother is calling me down for dinner."

I picked up my bag from the table and put my hood up and headed toward the cafe exit. "Okay Edward. I guess I'll talk to you tomorrow?" I said walking to my truck.

"Of course, first thing. Goodnight Bella." I heard people in the background now. Must be their guests.

"Goodnight Edward." I hung up, and started to drive home.

Sunday 19

Like Edward had said, he called me first thing this morning. But like our last phone call it didn't last long. He had someone was on the other line and that he would call me back later. I didn't read much into it, I mean he was visiting his parents, he didn't have to be talking to me on the phone all the time. I'm sure he was just having a good time hanging out with his family.

I set my phone down on the kitchen table and walked over to where Alice was sitting on the couch and took a seat next to her. She was sketching a new clothing design. Alice has a great passion for designing clothes, that's what she was going to school for.

"So what did Edward have to say?" She asked without looking up from her sketch.

I sighed "Not much, I guess he's just busy spending a lot with his family. Which is I'm happy for him, he hardly visits his parents."

Alice looked up now, she looked a little worried. "Uh yeah, Jasper called earlier, he said they were all having a great time together." Okay that's great, why did she look worried? What did Jasper tell her?

"What is it Alice? Did Jasper say anything about Edward?" I was worried now.

I guess she noticed she let something slip out because she composed herself. "Nothing. They are all having a great time." She smiled. I wasn't convinced.

I narrowed my eyes at her. "Spit it out Alice."

She crossed her arms. "I don't know what your talking about." She pouted and looked away with her nose in the air. So I grabbed her sketch book.

"Tell me now or the book gets thrown into the dirty dish water." I said getting up from the couch dangling the book in between my thumb and index finger. I started heading towards the kitchen sink.

She finally broke. "Fine! I'll tell you just don't hurt my baby!" She said running towards me and snatching the book out of my hands and holding it close to her chest. She looked down and sighed. "It's not that bad." She said looking up. "Jasper just said that the Denali's had brought their daughter Tanya along with them to the dinner and shes around Edwards age." She said warily. I nodded for her to continue. "Well Jasper had said that she's showing a lot of interest in Edward."

What? Edward wouldn't... Would he? I looked away toward the window, it was still raining.

"Look," Alice said picking my out of my thoughts. "Don't worry, Jasper said Edward didn't seem interested. He knows how much he likes you." She said rubbing my arm. "He says Edward talks about you all the time." I looked at Alice, she was smiling warmly.

I knew I shouldn't worry and I should trust Edward. But I still couldn't get the idea of him maybe taking interest in Tina or whatever her name was.

"Thanks Alice." I smiled. "I think I'm going to head to bed." I hugged her and walked over to my bedroom. After I changed into my PJ's and brushed my teeth I clicked off my lamp and crawled into bed. I laid there thinking for I don't how long and realized I was being ridiculous thinking Edward would do such a thing. He's used to having girls chase after him so why would he just jump after this one?

Saturday 25

A whole week has passed and in that week I have not gotten one call from Edward. Though only one text message. Yeah, a text message. All it said was 'I miss you'. Things were starting to get a little strange. I had tried calling him once sometime during Wednesday and nope, he didn't answer. What is going on? Hmm, I don't know maybe your worst fears had come true? No, maybe he just didn't have time. Besides we weren't officially together so technically he can do whatever he wants. Which made me worry a bit.

Sunday 26

I was sitting with Alice at the breakfast table. "So..." She started. "Has Edward called you back yet?" It's been three days since the time he didn't pick up.

I sat stirring my coffee. "Nope, not yet."

I head a chair move. It was Alice, she had gotten up from her seat and was now leaning forward with her hands on the table looking at me. "Bella, the way he is acting is not acceptable in anyway." She said shaking her head. "He's the one that said he would call you everyday and how many times has he called?...Like once?!"

"Alice," I sighed getting up to put my coffee mug in the sink. "I know what he is doing is kind of shady but," I said turning from the sink to face her. "We aren't together, you know? We haven't even gone out yet."

"But Bella, romantic feelings aside, your his best friend first. And I know for a fact that even if you guys hadn't confessed your feelings that he would still be calling you as often as he could." She said with a frown. She did have a point there. Edward had always called me, we were best friends. I didn't think that would change just because we felt more each other.

As I was walking back towards the table, Alice had sat back down and my phone buzzed. I was too lost in my thoughts to see who it was so I just answered.

"Yeah?" I asked distracted playing with a corner of a page from one of Alice's magazines.

"Bella?" It was Edward. He was actually calling?

"Hey, I've called you a few days ago, you didn't pick up... is everything okay?" I went for the sympathetic approach. I didn't want him to think I was mad at him just for not calling.

"Oh yeah, about that, see I was out playing football with my brothers. I left my phone on the lawn chair, I guess that's why I missed it." He said then cleared his throat. Okay well that seemed reasonable. Let's see how he answers this.

"I understand that happens. But you know you could have called me back." I said looking at Alice, I could tell she was approving of how I was discussing this with him because she had a huge smile on her face.

"You see I was but I got distracted with all these family outings and what not, you know how my mom is. I had just now got the time to get away from things, that's why I'm calling you now." He sighed. "Look, you know I wouldn't do it on purpose Bella, you're my best friend." He said in the most convincing way. I couldn't judge him, I'm not over there, I don't know whats really going on. And Jasper did say that he wasn't interested in the Denali girl and that Edward talks about me all the time. I had to keep telling myself that.

I sighed. "I know you wouldn't Edward but I just thought I don't know...and you did say that you would call everyday. And I know about Tanya... So what did you want me to think?" Shit! Nice one Bella. Why did I say that?! That wasn't supposed to come out! "Wait, Edward! I-I meant-"

"I cannot believe you would even think that Bella?!" He sounded angry. "You know how I feel about you, I thought I showed you that too before I left? Did you really think I would forget about you and just find someone else?" He voice sounded hurt towards the end.

"No, Edward!" Alice looked at me worried. "I didn't mean to say that! It just came-" I was cut off by Edward once again.

"Save it Bella. I'll talk to you later." Then all I heard was a dial tone. I wanted to crawl into a hole. I can't believe that just happened. Alice rushed over to my side and grabbed the phone from my hands. I didn't see her, my eyes watered.

"Bella! What happened?" She said as she wiped a tear from my cheek. All I could do was get up and walk over to my bedroom. Alice called after me. "Bella, tell me." I looked back at her desperate expression. When I tried to speak I stuttered. I took in a shaky breath. She walked over to be and brought me with her to my bed. She let me cry and when I could speak I told her the whole conversation.

Monday 4

Today was the day Edward would be arriving home. We haven't talked since that night. So I figured I'd meet him at the airport to say that I was sorry for what I had said. I admit I shouldn't have brought Tanya up. I would be offended too if Edward had thought that of me. I told Alice this and she didn't think it would be such a good idea to meet Edward at the airport. But when I had asked her why all she said was that maybe he would need more time to think about things. But I was being stubborn and I had insisted we'd go. I had also brought up the fact that she will get to see Jasper sooner because him and Emmet were coming home on the same flight as Edward. When I had said this I knew I had won.

When we got to the airport we found a parking and walked toward the sliding class doors. Remember how nervous I was the last time I was here? Well imagine how I felt now.

We had found some chairs for visitors by the escalators and waited for about 10 minuets when Alice called out "Jasper!" He was walking along side Emmett who had his arm around a beautiful blond, which I figured was his girlfriend Rosalie. I had heard about her once or twice from Edward.

Jasper pushed past Emmett and ran towards Alice. I was so jealous of how much love they had for each other. I only wish that one day Edward and I could be like that. Jasper swung her into a hug and kissed her so passionately I had to look away.

And that's when I spotted him. He looked just as gorgeous as the day I had said goodbye to him, but only time he had his arm around another girl.

I was starting to agree with Alice that this would turn out to be a bad idea.

I was planning to update earlier today but this chapter was so hard to write. I'm still not that happy with it but I hope you guys still enjoyed it. Let me know how I'm doing, please review! Thanks for reading!
