Just Friends--Jonas Brothers
EPOV
"So how was your day guys?" Alice asked as perky as ever.
"Amazing! Guess who asked me out?" Bella's excitement made me want to puke.
Before I knew it Alice grabbed me into a tight hug, "Aww Edward! I knew you would finally get the courage to do it! I see the way you guys look at each other! I knew this would happen all along!" Alice said triumphantly. She had no idea.
Bella was speechless so I decided to lay the shit out.
"I didn't ask Bella out," I slammed my locker harder than necessary, "Kyler did!" and before I took off to my car I looked into Bella's eyes. I tried to show my anger but when I looked into her confused brown eyes my face showed nothing but sorrow.
Then I took off.

"Amazing! Guess who asked me out?" I still couldn't believe it! How did this happen to me?
But before I could tell Alice she hugged Edward with so much excitement I didn't really know what to say.
"Aww Edward! I knew you would finally get the courage to do it! I see the way you guys look at each other! I knew this would happen all along!" What did Alice just say? Wow did she get it wrong.
But does she really think that Edward would have feelings for me?
"I didn't ask Bella out!" Edward slammed his locker so hard that it made me jump about a foot in the air, "Kyler did!" Then Edward faced me.
I had never seen him look so angry but before I could soak in all the rage his eyes became nothing but hurt. That look of sorrow hurt me more than I thought could be possible. I wanted so badly to hug him and take all the pain away but before I could even move he stomped off to his car.
I couldn't go after him. I felt so guilty. But I wasn't sure why. Edward never liked me more than a friend. Why should I feel guilty?

I was so angry and hurt that I completely forgot that I was Bella's ride home.
She would probably prefer riding home with Alice instead after that little episode.
I decided to put music on to try and distract myself so I switched through the radio stations to Bella's favorite.
A song by the Jonas Brothers was on. I had never heard it so I decided to turn it up. Bad idea…
There she goes again
The girl I'm in love with
It's cool we're just friends
We walk the halls at school
We know it's casual
It's cool we're just…
I don't want to lead you on
But the truth is I've grown fond
Yeah
Everyone knows it's meant to be
Falling in love, just you and me
'til the end of time
'til I'm on her mind
It'll happen
I've been making lots of plans
Like a picket fence and a rose garden
I just keep on dreaming
But it's cool cause we're just friends
Thinking about how
We're gonna say our vows
It's cool we're just friends
She walks down the aisle
I see all my friends smile
Cause now we're more than friends
Everyone knows it's meant to be
Falling in love, just you and me
'til the end of time
'til I'm on her mind
It'll happen
We've been making lots of plans
Like a picket fence and a rose garden
I'll just keep on dreaming
Just keep on thinking of when we used to be just friends
La, La, La, La, La
When we used to be (When we used to be)
La, La, La, La (Just friends)
When we used to be just friends (Just Friends by The Jonas Brothers.. Love this song!)
"Ya right! Like that could ever happen." I slammed my radio off after that. No more Jonas Brothers.
Going home right now would be too depressing so I decided to find a distraction.

"Oh God! I had no idea. I thought that… You and Edward… Well it just doesn't make sense." Alice and I were walking to her car now since Edward decided to leave me behind. I couldn't blame him. For some reason I still felt horrible about everything.
"No, Edward thinks of me as a friend Alice. Nothing more."
She could see the longing in my eyes, "But is he just a friend to you?" She knew me to well.
"Well yeah… but no… I don't know! I have feeling for him that no best friend should have. It just wouldn't work out Alice! He doesn't like me like that! How could he?" I had tears rolling down my cheeks now. I had never admitted to someone that I like Edward Cullen. My best friend.
"Oh Bella! You have no idea what he feels for you! When he looks at you his eyes are full of nothing but love!" Alice was shaking me now, "How can you not see that! You both are so madly in love with each other and the only people that don't know it are you two! It's so obvious everyone in the school can see it! How can you not see it Bella? How could you say yes to Kyler and break Edward's heart like that?"
This all came as a shock to me. Alice seemed so sure of herself that I almost believed her. Edward in love with me though? It seems so impossible and unreal but I believe Alice. That would explain why he seemed so mad at the fact that Kyler asked me out. It explained the guilt that I felt when he looked into my eyes with so much sadness and hurt. Maybe Edward does love me or at least like me.
"I'm gonna tell him!" I finally exclaimed as Alice and I got into her car.
"What?" Alice didn't seem to believe her ears.
"I'm going to tell Edward that I love him Alice! I believe you and I'm ready! Take me to your house!" I almost couldn't believe my own ears either.
"Thank God! I was trying so hard not to just slap some sense into you!" Alice laughed but at the same time sounded relieved. I didn't doubt that she would have started slapping me any second now.
As she started the car I couldn't stop shaking from nerves. I have never been more scared. I'm going to tell Edward that I love him! Finally! I never thought this day would come.
This had to be the longest car ride I had ever experienced. When we finally pulled up into the driveway Alice got out of the car and waited for me to get out.
I felt as if I was glued to the car seat as I opened the door and slowly got out. Everything was moving so slowly even though all I wanted to do was finally tell Edward.
"Jeez Bella! Calm down! Everything's gonna be fine!" Alice grabbed my hand and forced me to half run to the door.
When we got inside I couldn't help it as I ran up to Edward's room. Alice decided to wait downstairs.
His door was open so I walked in but sadly there was no Edward. I looked up and down the hall and in the bathroom but there was still no Edward so I decided on going downstairs.
Alice was in the kitchen. "Alice I can't find him anywhere."
"Are you looking for Edward?" Esme soft voice came up from behind me.
"Ya! Do you know where he is?" My words came out so fast because of my excitement but for some reason Esme's eyes showed a small glint of pity as I asked my question.
"Well he said he would be at Lauren's house for a couple of hours." This took me a couple of moments to process.
"Lauren's house? Why would he be there?" my vision became blurry as I tried to hold in my tears.
"He didn't say Bella. Maybe they're just doing homework or something." Esme tried to cheer me up but she knew all too well.
"But Edward and I always do our homework together." Now I turned back to Alice. Her face was full of regret and pity as she looked at my now tear covered face.
"Alice I thought he liked me!" I yelled at her, "You said that he loved me! And I believed you! You got my hopes up!" My voice sounded weak so instead of going on with my pathetic rampage I ran out of the house and down the street until I couldn't run anymore.
By now I was dried out of tears so I decided to call someone for a ride. I was about to call Edward when I realized that he was the last person I wanted to see right now. I couldn't call Alice either so I was left with Maddie or Kyler. I didn't want Kyler to see me like this so I decided on Maddie.
After about two rings she picked up.
Hello? Her voice rang into the phone.
Maddie? It's Bella. Is there any way you could come pick me up? As I waited for her response I got a little anxious. Maybe calling Maddie wasn't the best idea. But then she finally answered.
Umm sure… Her voice wasn't too sure but at least I had a ride so I told her where I was and waited… and waited… and waited until she came about an hour later in her expensive Mazda convertible.
"Bella! You look horrible!" she exclaimed as I slammed her door closed.
"No really Maddie! Maybe it's because I had to wait an hour for you to come pick me up. Or maybe it's because Edward is over at your friend Lauren's house doing who knows what. Or maybe it's because my best friend lied to me and got my hopes up!" My tear stained face was now once again covered in fresh tears.
"Oh Bella! If I had any idea I would have been here so much sooner! I'm so sorry! We are never talking to Lauren ever again! She is officially kicked out of our group!" This made me feel the slightest bit better. At least I wouldn't have to deal with Lauren.
"Thanks Mad-ddie!" I cried. I couldn't help it. This all hurt too much.
"Tell me exactly what happened Bella!" As we drove to her house I filled her in on all the details starting from when Kyler asked me out.
When we got to Maddie's house she pulled me up to her room and pulled out her cell phone.
"Don't worry Bella." A mischievous smile grew on her face, "I know just what to do."
