Okay I just wanted to clarify something that a few people have been asking, YES! Edward C. and Edward M. are the same person…but Bella doesn't know that.

I was dressed in a black skirt, a black halter top, with a black hoodie. My hair was pulled into a ponytail, and I put my hood up as I walked outside.

Edward was there in all his glory. He was wearing all black with his hood up covering the bronze mess he calls his hair.

"My lady." He opened the passenger door of his silver Volvo for me.

"Thanks." I smiled. I tried to slide in like I would wearing pants but it didn't go over well. I wrinkled my nose in frustration. Edward chuckled and muttered something that I didn't catch.

"What was that?" I asked.

"Nothing." He shook his head.

I rolled my eyes and got situated in the car.

After a few minutes of silent driving I spoke up.

"How about we play a guessing game. I'll say a word and you have to guess what my favorite of that word is." I explained.

He shrugged.

"Okay, mm. Drink?" I asked.

"Um, coffee." He stated. I nodded.

"Hm, flower?" I asked.

"…White Easter Lily?" He asked. I stared at him.

"What?" He asked.

"That was my childhood favorite flower, and I only told one person." I said suspiciously.

"Lucky guess?" He shrugged.

"Alright well, rock?" I asked. He thought about something.

"Lapis Lazuli?" He rose an eyebrow.

"How do you know these things?" I demanded.

"Your necklace." He said.

"Oh!" I touched my necklace. Originally, it had been a ring. It was a regular silver band with a Lapis Lazuli in the middle. Edward had given it to me in the 4th grade. I wear it everywhere.

"Yeah, my friend gave it to me a long time ago. Anyways, let's keep going."

Edward POV (YAY!)

I gave so many hints that it was me, that it was ridiculous. Bella didn't change much over the seven years, if anything she got more beautiful.

"We're here.'' I said.

"How'd you know where Alice lives?" She asked.

"Um, well, I went online and there were directions." I answered lamely. "Oh! And here. Just in case." I handed her a pair of black glasses.

"What are these for?" She asked putting the glasses on.

"I figured that you would want to keep a low profile." I put my own glasses on. Together we walked inside the party.

"Oh jeez!" Bella looked down as someone passed by.

"Who was that?" I asked.

"Alice's mom. Let's go." We turned for the treat table. After about 30 minutes of dodging certain people, someone went on stage with a microphone.

"Hello everyone. It's so great to see you all." Ah, Rosalie Hale. One of my best friends. "Today we come together to mourn of the loss of a great-" she choked off and then smirked. "My oh my. Look what the cat dragged in." and that's when I knew we were caught, and so did Bella. We both turned around to see everyone staring at us.

"Bella Swan." Rosalie sneered. What had happened?

"Hi Rosie." Bella murmured. I looked at the stage to see Emmett, Jasper, and Alice. Emmett, and Jasper were glaring at Bella, and Alice's mouth was wide open, but she was staring at me.

Rose finished her speech but people kept looking back at us. Then the four came up to us.

"So you actually had the guts to come here." Jasper growled.

"After what you said, after what you did!" Emmett glared at Bella.

"If you do recall, I had called countless times to apologize. I was ready to get down on my knees, and beg for you guys back. Anything to stop spending every day cooped up in my house watching football games with Charlie." Tears ran down Bella's cheek, and I wiped them away.

"And you are?" Emmett and Jasper asked me.

"Oh, um, Edward Cullen." I shook their hands. My old friends look exactly the same, except Jasper grew his hair out, and now it was shaggy. Emmett just so happened to get larger, it was pretty amazing.

"Um, hey Edward can I talk to you for a minute?" Alice asked. I smiled. She grew, but not much, she seemed…what? 4'10? 5 feet maybe? I nodded, and she turned to Jazz, Em, and Rose. "Behave. Bella went through more than you guys could possibly believe." they looked shocked, including Bella. I followed Alice outside to where no one could see us. Then, she threw her arms around me.

"God I've missed you." she cried.

"Um, what?" she stepped away, wiped her tears, and hit me really hard on the arm.

"Don't play dumb! I know it's you. Edward Mason." she smiled and I sighed.

"Hi Ali." I whispered. She squealed and hugged me again. Then she stepped away and punched me in the arm again.

"Where the hell have you been these past years?" she demanded.

"Um, well, you see." I muttered nervously. "When I got out of the ice, I had fainted on the sidewalk. A by passing car saw me so they came over to investigate. It was Dr. Carlisle Cullen, and his wife Esme. It turns out that they can't have children. They took care of me, and fed me, and home schooled me. I didn't want to leave, so I stayed for another year, than I found out that my mother had committed suicide when my father died of cancer. So I stayed with them." I whispered my parent's deaths.

"Wow." Alice wrapped her arms around me. "I'm so sorry."

"So what happened to Bella, that hurt her?" I asked.

Alice looked down. "So many things. She was so broken after you were gone Edward. She didn't even go to your funeral. Anyway, the things that happened to her are: You 'died', my parents and Emmett had forbid me to see Bella because of our fight, and-" Alice cut off and sighed. "About a month after you left, Bella's mother was murdered in a convenience store robbery." my jaw dropped open.

"What?" I whispered. One thing that I was sure of, is that Bella's mom was Bella's most trusted friend….next to me of course.

"Yeah, I tried to go see her but Emmett caught me. He decided that since it would be terrible if we weren't there to console her, so we went their, but they weren't there. They were holding her funeral. So we left roses on the porch and went back home." she sighed. "After that, Bella started spending loads of time with your mother, because Elizabeth reminded Bella so much of Renee. But then, your father died." she looked at me with sad eyes. "Did you know that Bella was the one who found your mother."

My eyes widened and I shook my head. "Yeah, they were supposed to go down to the lake, but in the night your mother found your father lying in bed, and she knew that she was dead. So she committed Juliet. Knife to the heart." I sunk to my knees.

"She must've felt like everyone was leaving her. That's terrible." I whispered. Just then Bella came running out of the house and down the street.

"Bella!" We called, but she didn't look back.

BPOV

They just left me! They might as well have soaked me in meat and threw me in a lions cage!

"So what makes you think that you can come back?" Rose asked nastily.

"Um, I…miss Edward." I blinked my tears back. Doesn't she know how much this hurts me?

"Hm, you didn't recall to miss him on the 1st anniversary, or the second, or third, or fourth, or fifth, or sixth. So what's so special now? You seem to have replaced him easily." she rolled her eyes and giggled. Then I noticed a beer in her hand.

"Rose you're drunk and under age." I whispered.

"Don't tell me what I can't do!" she exclaimed stumbling.

"Rose. You're drunk." Emmett helped her stand right.

"Yes I am. I bet that Edward wouldn't care if I was huh Bella? Edward knew how to have a good time!" she laughed and my tears leaked out. "Just go visit his grave since no one wants you here." I let the floodgate out and glared murderously at Rosalie.

"Rose!" Jasper exclaimed and then looked at me sadly. "Bella she doesn't mean-"

"Fine!" I exclaimed angrily not willing the hot tears away. "I will go to Edward grave! And I will sob over him! Want to know why? Because I love him the most, in stead of your stupid, drunken ass! And I hope that you have one hell of a hangover Rose!" I shouted and took off out of the house and down the road to where the cemetery is. I heard people shouting after me but I didn't look back. I just ran and cried.

I entered the cemetery and walked to where my best friend is.

Edward Mason

Devoted friend

Beloved son

R.I.P

I sobbed and sank to my knees in front of his grave.

"I miss you Edward." I whispered. "They think your dead, but I know you're not. You promised that you'd be there for me, you never go back on a promise…" I looked down and looked at his mothers grave. "But where were you Edward? Where were you when everything went wrong? They're right. They're all right." I realized. "You aren't coming back." I sobbed and covered my face with my hands. I looked up to see Edward Cullen, Jasper, and Alice staring at me silently. Alice was crying, and Jasper, and Edward looked sympathetic. I launched myself into Alice and Jasper's arms. Then I hugged Edward. I looked at them to see that they were looking sympathetic again. I wiped my eyes and began to leave.

"I don't want your pity!" I called over my shoulder as I left the cemetery.

There you go! Just to let you know, Alice is the only one who knows and noticed that Edward C. and Edward M. are the same people. Smart little pixie.
