Sorry. If you are reading a chapter 4 again, it was me!! I might have accidentally been thinking of this other story I have been updating, and I accidentally added info. that was not correct. If this is the second time you've read this, and you know the mistake I've made...You've been paying attetion! Anyways, I changed it so it would be right, so if you don't mind (whoever is reading this for the second time) start reading from below the line.

I followed Alice into her room, where I would be spending the night. She was still so giddy about the fact that I had kissed Edward goodnight. I blushed when she looked at me with sparkling eyes, reminding me. Maybe it had been a mistake. If things were going to be like this- with Alice's reactions- I guessed it would be better to stay some space away from Edward for a while. That idea didn't please me though.

Alice's room was big. I wasn't exaggerating.

There seemed to be room enough for two of my room to fit. There was a bed on the right side of the room. The lights weren't on, but I could see enough to make out hundreds of shopping bags. The closet was on the left. I wondered what she kept in there if she had the bags out here.

Maybe there were more shopping bags.

As if hearing my thoughts, she opened the closet door. "This is where I keep my clothes," she said casually.

Good grief, I thought, looking at mountains of clothing and shoes.

"Wow," I commented, "this is a lot you have in there. The closet is almost as large as my room!"

"I know, right. Well, lets get you settled in for the night," she said, walking toward the bed. She turned on the lamp sitting on the night table next to the bed. "You'll sleep here."

"Oh, no! I don't want you to have to give up your bed for me. I'll take the floor. I bet it's comfortable," I lied. I had never actually tried it to know.

She laughed at my comment. "You're silly. You are sleeping on the bed, and that is final, understood. I am going to lie on the sofa," she said, pointing to one in the corner of the room. "It's only today, anyways, so don't worry," she assured.

"Thank you."

After having taken a bath and brushed my teeth in their elegant bathroom, I returned to Alice's room. She was looking at a magazine. Looking at clothes. She looked up when I came in, smiling. Patting the space next to her on the sofa, she told me to go sit with her for a moment.

"We should talk about things. What about you? Do you…have a boyfriend?" Alice asked.

I stared at her blankly.

"Alice, you're one of my best friends. Don't you think I'd tell you if I did?" I asked, confused about the reason she was asking.

"Right." She continued. "Has someone caught your interest, yet?"

Edward's name popped into my head. I shook my head, trying to get the thought out. Alice misunderstood.

"Are you sure? I mean…Don't you have a friend down in La Push?" she urged.

"Yes. Jacob. But we're just friends. He's younger than me, but he looks ten years older. He's real fun to be with. I love him."

"Ah."

"Not in that way," I added quickly. "In a brotherly kind of way." I didn't want her to get the wrong idea. "I wish you could meet him. You'd really like him…well, at least I think."

She nodded her head lightly. A sudden idea popped into my head.

"Do you think I could invite him camping with us? He's a real nature guy," I asked, hopeful.

Staring a moment at me, she sighed.

"Well, I guess. But you have to promise me something," she said, narrowing her eyes at me. "You promise to spend some time with Edward?" She must have seen my confused expression because she added, "You two haven't actually bonded as friends."

"Well, I can't exactly go shopping with him, can I?" I joked, trying not to think anbout the real reason why Alice had asked me such a thing. Of course I'd spend some time with him, though. "But I will spend some time with Edward. I promise. Unless he doesn't want to spend time with me."

"That won't be a problem," she said confidently, smiling in triumph.

There was a light knock on the door. Then Edward's flawless face was sticking in, his face looking kind of angry or mad.

"May I speak with you for a moment, Alice?" he asked in a low, velvet voice.

Alice looked at him, hesitated, and then got up.

"I'll be back, but you better go to sleep. You look like you need a rest."

I nodded. Then, my eyes trailed back to Edward. He was looking at me. I almost gasped. I was the first to look away, too embarrassed by his gaze.

When they were gone, I got into bed and went to sleep peacefully. Mostly thanks to Edward's image that was stuck in my head.

The next morning, I was woken up by a pair of cold hands shaking me gently, calling my name at the same time.

I opened my eyes. It was Alice.

"Bella, wake up!"

"I'm,"-I yawned- "up, I'm up," I informed her, rubbing my eyes sleepily and sitting up in the bed. "What time is it?" I asked, looking around for a clock.

"It's still early, but that way you'll have enough time to get dressed and all," she explained.

I went to get ready, and on my way to the restroom, I saw Edward walking down the hall in my direction. My heart was accelerating already. He looked at me and smiled as he passed. I smiled back, feeling almost faint.

Getting dressed may have been the toughest part. I had to wear the clothes Alice chose for me. Of course I had to disagree with her choice until I ended up winning and wearing some ordinary clothes.

Downstairs, Esme offered me some breakfast. I was the only one eating though. The others didn't get anything that I saw.

Edward was kind enough to drive home with me. It was still pretty wet and the roads weren't in the best conditions. I tried to think about driving carefully, but my mind kept wandering to Edward following me in his car.

When we got to Charlie's, I got out and was going to go to his car and thank him so he wouldn't have to get out, but he was already there.

"Thank you for coming with me. Sorry you had to but thanks," I said.

He nodded.

"I hear you're thinking about inviting a friend when we go camping." His voice was calm, but I wondered if it bothered him.

"Oh, would you like me not to? I don't have to. Maybe I'll just spend some time with him during the week and on Friday I won't feel bad for not having spent time-"

"No, no," he said, cutting me off. "I didn't mean I didn't want him to go. Of course he can come. I was just curious… if he was more than a friend to you." He lowered his head, looking at the ground.

I blushed at his words. "No. He's just a friend."

"Well, about yesterday-you know, the dare- I wondered if I could ask you." He sounded desperate, something new about him. "Because I need to tell you…how I." He leaned an inch closer to me, lowering his head as he spoke, lips inches from mine. I thought I would really faint this time. "I need to tell you how I fe-"

"Bella!"

Edward and I both turned to the voice calling me. I recognized it as Jacob's. He was waving as he walked toward us. His jaw was clenched. I could see it probably bothered him how close I was to Edward.

I noticed Edward wrinkling his nose, as if in disgust. Jacob didn't seem so excited anymore either as he stood three feet from us. Looking toward Edward with a confused- and disgusted- expression.

"Jacob, what are you doing here?" I asked, surprised.
