A/N: Oh holy mother of chicken! Guys! Daming reviews na! (That's tagalog, it means "So many reviews already!"
So I figured you deserved this much of another chapter. Yes, one year has passed because you don't want to read about Bella not being with Edward, or do you?
I'm sorry, also, if I couldn't reply to your reviews for the sneak peeks. The site wont seem to let me.
That's why I posted this chapter. :)
Anyways, read this, it's kind of important.
So when Edward leaves, Jacob befriends Bella, but not in a "Hah, Edward's gone and I can get her" way, more of a, "She seems a nice open person to befriend" way. Plus he already has a girlfriend. I don't want a love rectangle. xD
So Jacob calls and asks Bella if she wants to hang out. But Bella, has other plans… :)
Chapter 3
One Year Passed
"I'm really sorry Jacob, but I promise to catch up with you later. Edward's back with Alice, Emmett and everyone. He's brought his second cousin. I can't wait to see him again." I said into the phone.
"That's alright Bella. Say hi to Edward for me." Jacob said.
"Sure." And I hung up.
I got in my Chevy and sat. How long will it take for me to get to the airport in this thing? I heard a beep beep and looked to my right and smirked. There was Rosalie in her M3.
"Need a ride, dear?" she asked, smirking too.
"Obviously!" I laughed and got out of my Chevy and jumped in the backseat.
"Someone's excited to see Emmett." I grinned and Jasper laughed.
"Someone's excited to see Edward." She smirked.
"Hey! He's my best friend," I smiled, "It's been so long. I really missed him."
"Is he really just your friend?" Jasper asked, raising his eyebrow.
I blushed. "Of course." Not.
When we arrived at the airport and looked around. Jasper spotted them and told us to follow him. When we reached the spot, I looked at Edward and felt…empty. There was no relief. It was like he was a different person. I looked into his eyes and so a hint of someone else. His smile was different…it was more…naughty? The way he dressed was so much different than his gentleman-like person before. This Edward was different. This wasn't my Edward.
"Edward?" I whispered.
He looked at me and I felt his eyes roam around me. That was different.
"Bella!" he cried, and hugged me. I gasped. Was this my Edward?
"I missed you!" he smiled, "By the way, this is my second-cousin, Tanya." He gestured his hand to a girl that had the same hint of something in her eye.
"You must be Bella," She sneered my name as if it was a bad word and I glared. "Edward's told me everything about you."
"Of course, Tanya," I sneered her name back, "He is my best friend. We know everything about each other."
She glared and I could tell we'd be mortal enemies for quite awhile.
"So, Bella," Edward said, blocking my view of Tanya, "Did you miss me?"
"More than ever," I laughed and hugged him, "It's been so long."
"It was just a year. I haven't changed." He smiled.
"Oh?" I asked, looking at him. "You seem to have."
"Well maybe the way I dress and the way I'll act at times, but really," he grinned, "I'm still me."
He looked at me again and I blushed.
"You seem to have changed too!" He looked up at me, "Which friend has changed you?"
"Jacob, Jacob Black." I told him. And I did change.
At the mention of his name, Edward's hands balled up into fists.
"What has he done to you?" he said that as if in a bad way.
"He's taught me so many things! He's taught me how to play basketball, although I might fall at times; I know how to play it. He's also taught me how to ride motorcycles! And—"
"Wait, wait," Edward said, glaring at me, "He taught you WHAT?!"
"It's just motorcycles Edward," I frowned. "I never got hurt."
He was still glaring at me.
"Jeez! Look at you! What has Tanya taught you?" I glared.
"That is none of your business." He growled.
"Guys, we're leaving, come on!" Alice called.
I turned my back to him and stomped off. Who was HE? That guy wasn't Edward. He wasn't the one I was going to say "I love you" to. He was someone else.
But that was Edward. And he changed. A lot more than I have.
One year can seriously change everything.

There wasn't much space in the shuttle that will take them back to Forks, so a few of them had to come with us in Rosalie's M3.
The good part was, Tanya wasn't with us. The bad part…Edward was.
He had to sit with me at the back. Emmett came along so we were practically squished together. I looked out the window the whole time.
When we arrived at the Cullen's home I got out of the car and walked into the house. Edward started to chat with Tanya, but he felt uncomfortable. I glared out the window and walked up to the guest room.
I placed my things on the bed for the sleepover tonight.
"Oh no," Rosalie smirked, "Your sleeping with me and Alice. Not in this dreadful room."
"It's not 'dreadful'." I glared at her.
She picked my things up and walked out the door.
"Rosalie!" I yelled, running to the door. I bumped into someone else and fell to the floor.
"Hey! Watch where you going!" I yelled, looking up.
"Jeez, I'm sorry." Edward muttered and walked, following Rosalie. Tanya was following behind him.
I got up from the floor and ran after Rosalie, 'accidentally' bumping Edward shoulder on the way.
"Oops, sorry." I smiled innocently and continued running.
When I reached Rosalie, I touched her shoulder, "Rose, stop. My ice skates are in there."
"You ice skate?" Rosalie raised an eyebrow.
"Jake taught me." I smiled when I said that…loudly.
I heard Edward growl.
"Eddie, where's my room?" Tanya asked sweetly.
"The guest room." He muttered.
I laughed. Maybe it is a dreadful room.
"So welcome back guys!" Rosalie said, opening the door to the living room. The Cullen's gasped at the balloons and people from our high school who cheered when they arrived. I smiled when I spotted Jacob and waved. He was on the phone with his girlfriend, Leah. I could tell because he was blushing.
Tanya walked over to the cake and smirked. I wondered what she was up too.
People were enjoying the party and welcomed the Cullen's back. Edward introduced Tanya to almost everyone and I glared when she started flirting with everyone else. Who does she think she is? She's just new here; she can't go all 'hottie' on everyone.
"Hey Edward, look at this!" Tanya said, blowing a balloon. It was huge. My eyes widened.
"That's so cool! Teach me!" He said, grabbing the balloon which caused it to fly away.
"I'll get it!" she said. I could swear I saw her take something out of her pocket instead of reaching for the ground.
"Man, Tanya's cool, isn't she Bella?" Edward asked me, smiling as Tanya walked back. "She knows tons of tricks."
I glared at him.
"Tricks my butt," I glared, "Watch this."
I grabbed the balloon from Tanya and started blowing it. I didn't know how big it got until it popped and cake flew out everywhere.
"Woah! Food fight!" Someone yelled and threw cake from the floor to some girl.
I gasped because I was covered in cake. What the hell happened?!
"We better rush out before my hair becomes pie." Rosalie whispered to me and pushed me out the door. Alice followed with Jasper and Emmett and Edward came along. I didn't know where Tanya was.
"I swear I saw Tanya put cake in that balloon, that slut." Alice whispered to me and Rosalie. Rosalie was confused.
"I know. I was going to get the balloon from the floor, but when she said she would, she didn't! She picked something out of her pocket." Jasper growled.
"Although," Alice giggled, "Bella was trying to show Edward—"
"Was not!" I yelled.
"I don't get it," Rosalie muttered, "Why'd you blow up the balloon?"
"I didn't know it was a trick, ok?!" I muttered. Understanding the Rosalie didn't understand.
"Well," Alice giggled, "You WERE trying to show up a certain SOMEONE..." she said out loud. Damn you, Alice Cullen!
"Showing up or showing off?" I heard Edward mutter.
I gasped and slowly turned to face him, glaring.
I walked over to him until his face was right in front of mine.
"Like I need to show anything to YOU! I guess I fell for it, but I didn't know it would come out HUGE!"I yelled.
"Oh, like your ego?" he muttered, his breath reaching my face.
I took a step back, my hand in a fist, as Alice started to drag me off. It was like having a glaring contest. Both Edward and I glaring at each other.
"Enough," Emmett muttered. "This is stupid. You guys are best friends!"
"Were!" Edward and I corrected.
"No! You still are! And if we have to lock you in a room together, we'll do it."
I grew silent and so did he. I did not want to be in the same room as him.
"If you'll excuse me," I said, since no one was saying anything, "I'll go clean up the mess I made. Don't bother helping." I sighed. I felt like crying.
"But Bella—" Alice started to say, but I interrupted her.
"I thought this day would be wonderful. Having my best friend back and everything. But I guess he's moved on. Just like I did." I whispered.
"Since when did you move on?" Jasper asked sadly.
"Since now," I looked up at all of them. "I'll be with Jake if you need me."
I saw Edward's fists ball up. "You're being over dramatic again!"
"Oh?" I asked innocently, "Or is Mr. Cullen just jealous that Bella's got a new best friend?"
They were silent.
"Plus I need to pack up for school," I whispered. "It starts the day after tomorrow anyways, doesn't it?"
I stepped backwards and walked to the living room. When I went in, everyone was gone and there wasn't much of a mess, but Tanya was there, smirking at me.
"Bella," She said, "I have something to tell you."
I looked at her. "What?"
"Stay away from Edward," She grinned, "That's all I ask for."
"Why should I?" I asked suspiciously.
"He's mine," She said, "We've know each other since…since I was born."
"He left you," I told her, "He came here to Forks and we met and we became best friends."
"I don't care!" Tanya yelled, shrugging her shoulders, "Just stay away from him."
"Stay away from him? Just because he's changed because…because of YOU! Doesn't mean that he's not the guy I used to know," I growled at her, "He's still my best friend. He'll always be."
I walked into the closet and pulled out a mop and rug and tossed it to Tanya who screamed and fell to the floor.
"Clean it up, miss." I smiled innocently and walked out the kitchen door.
I heard her scream and laughed as I put on my iPod and walked to my house.
What Bella didn't know, was that Edward had walked to the door to say sorry.
I balled my hands into fists. "You're being over dramatic again!"
"Oh?" She asked innocently, "Or is Mr. Cullen just jealous that Bella's got a new best friend?"
I couldn't say anything.
But I wasn't jealous, because I knew she was joking. Wasn't she? I mean, I was more jealous of the fact that she spent time with him more than with me.
"Plus I need to pack up for school," She whispered. "It starts the day after tomorrow anyways, doesn't it?"
She walked into the living room door.
"Ass…" Alice muttered, shoving my elbow as she walked with Jasper.
"Don't worry dude," Emmett patted my shoulder, "Chicks are like that. But they sure are suckers for 'sorry' from a guy." He winked and pulled Rosalie closer to him as they followed Alice and Jasper.
"Siblings." I muttered and walked to the door.
Flashback
"Hey Edward…" Bella asked. She was only 6 years old.
"Yeah Bella?" I asked.
I was shocked when she hugged me and said, "You're the bestest friend a girl could ever have!"
I smiled. We were at my first soccer practice game.
"Promise to be friends forever?" I asked.
She nodded and raised her pinky. "Pinky swear!"
I smiled and raised my pinky, "Pinky swear." And linked it with hers.
I shook my head when I heard someone say "He's mine, we've know each other since…since I was born."
"He left you," I heard Bella's voice say, "He came here to Forks and we met and we became best friends."
"I don't care!" Tanya's voice yelled, "Just stay away from him."
"Stay away from him? Just because he's changed because…because of YOU! Doesn't mean that he's not the guy I used to know! He's still my best friend. He'll always be."
I looked down at the floor. That's my Bella.
I heard Tanya scream and a door open. I figured Bella left, but I couldn't just let her go.
I ran to the front door and spotted Bella's figure walking down the sidewalk.
"Bella!" I yelled.
As Bella walked down the sidewalk…
"Bella!" I heard someone yell, but I couldn't hear as much because I was listening to my iPod.
My earphones were snatched and I gasped.
I turned around to find Edward snatched it and tried to take it back. He was too quick, of course.
He put it on his ears and I maximized the volume of the iPod.
"GAAH!" he yelled and threw it out of his ears. I snatched them and walked away.
"Bella! Please wait!"
I stopped in my tracks, not turning around.
"I heard what Tanya said. Look, she's wrong, ok? People make mistakes. A few guys might fight because of it, but it's always for a cause."
Mistake? He thinks she said that as a mistake? It was a threat! She wanted me to stay away from him and he thinks it's a MISTAKE? "Well, I'm rebelling against OUR cause!" I yelled.
"Bella, we need you! I need you!"
"You have Tanya! You don't need me." I told him, frowning, walking away.
He grabbed my hand and spun me around. "Please?" he whispered, his breathing reaching my face.
I glared at him. "Always your excuse. Do you see how you dazzle people?" I muttered.
"I dazzle people?" He asked, raising his eyebrow.
"Well duh, you can probably get every girl you want!" I said, walking back to the Cullen's home.
"Everyone except one." I heard him mutter and follow behind me.
A/N: Hope you liked Chapter 3! Aren't their fights cute? xD Well, except the ones where they cry and stuff, but I mean the ones where they tease each other!
Don't worry, they get together soon…! I guess. xD Their old play was Beauty and the Beast, right? Now it's A Cinderella Story. Guess who the lead roles are!!! xD
Thanks for sticking with me! Reviews please!
Oh, and yeah… I fell the story is kinda RUSHED. Although, tell me if it is, I'll try to slow it down. I'm just showing everyone that Tanya will do anything AT ONCE when she sees any girl that seems to like Edward. She can do anything, you know. I mean, she IS his SECOND cousin. -_-
