Bella's POV
After Edward left, my night was kind of dull. Jacob asked me to dance with him a few different times and so did a bunch of other guys. Their names and faces were a blur to me now, though. The only part of the night I really remember after Edward left was watching Emmett trying to keep guys away from Rosalie. He came really close to punching a guy because he asked Rose to dance. Jasper was having the same problem. Aside from that, the rest of the night I couldn't stop thinking about missing bodyguard.
It's two o'clock in the morning and I lay awake in bed, unable to sleep. Too many thoughts were running though my mind. What was the reason we couldn't be friends?
I must've drifted off to sleep at some point during my inner ramblings.
Edward stood there all dressed up in his suit with his hand outstretched. I took it and he put his other hand on my waist and we started to dance. Claire De Lune was playing in the background, but there was no one else in the Ballroom but the two of us.
I noticed him staring at me. "What?"
"Nothing, you just look stunning." I blushed and looked down. My night dress was replaced with my ball gown.
We swayed in rhythm to the music, him twirling me around and I was surprisingly graceful. He spoke as the song drew to a close.
"Bella, I can't be you friend because it's not enough…I love you." Edward confessed, his eyes growing a darker shade of green.
I felt my heart soar at his confession. "I love you, too."
He ginned and placed his hands on either side of my face, leaning in slowly…
"Ouch!"
I opened my eyes and noticed that I was on the floor of my bedroom. Just a dream, I thought, getting back in bed.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" The night bodyguard, Joe, came bursting into the room, his voice sounded slightly panicked.
Joe seemed like a nice guy, but I really wouldn't know since I was asleep whenever he was around. He was tall with blonde hair and blue eyes. I think he was a couple years older then me as well.
"I'm fine, Joe. I just fell out of bed." I reassured him.
He nodded his head "Good night, your Highness." He went back to stand outside my door.
I lied back down and my thoughts drifted back to the dream I had. A million questions swam in my head like, what did the dream mean? Was Edward really in love with me? Was I in love with Edward? I didn't understand I had never thought of Edward like that, but the more I thought about it the more it made sense why I never accepted losing Edward as a friend. Why I kept pushing for us to be friends again. I didn't want to admit my real feelings and I figured if we were still friends then that would be enough. It also explained why I hated it so much when he called me your Highness because it made me feel like that's all I was to him, his princess and job.
I shot up in bed and throw off the covers. I ran out the door and down the hall.
"Your Highness, where are you going?" Joe called but not loud enough to wake someone.
"I'll be right back. I just need to do something." I threw over my shoulder, not slowing down.
I reached the door I was headed for and knocked "Alice, are you awake?"
I figured it was a stupid question. Of course she was asleep. Besides Joe and a couple other guards I was the only one still awake. I open the door and crept in "Alice," I whispered. It was pitch black, so I couldn't see anything. Alice had the biggest guestroom. The walls were white but now they looked black from the darkness. It also had the biggest walk in closet that was the size of half the room which was perfect for her giant wardrobe and was the reason she chose the room. The bathroom was big too, but I believe the closet was bigger.
As I tip-toed closer to the bed, my big toe made contact to the post. I bit my lip to keep from yelling out in pain before I took a deep breath and reached my destination.
"Alice, wake up."
She opened her eyes and shot up, startled when she saw me standing there. "Alice it's okay. It's just me."
"Bella, why are you waking me up at…" she turned to look at clock on the bedside table. "3:30 in the morning?"
"I need to talk to you and Rosalie about something. Meet me in my bedroom while I go wake her up."
"This better be good. I was dreaming of Jasper." She sighed missing her husband who had to leave after the ball.
Alice wiped the sleep from her eyes and got out of bed. She walked done the hall to my bedroom, stumbling still half asleep.
I made my way over to Rose's room which was across the hall from Alice's. Her room was just as dark, but her room wasn't as big as Alice's but only by a few square feet. It was really still big though. It had a big closet and bathroom as well, but again not as big as Alice's. Alice made sure to claim the biggest room with the biggest closet space.
"Rosalie, wake up. I need to talk to you and Alice."
"Bella," she opened her eyes and looked at the clock like Alice had done "Its 3:30 in the morning."
"I know but it's really important. I'm sorry, but the sooner you listen to me the sooner you can go back to sleep." I told her.
"Fine," she got out of bed and walked with me back to my room.
We entered my bedroom to find Alice sitting on my bed and Rose followed suit. I could tell they were both fighting to stay awake.
I remained standing and looked at both of them. "I'm in love with Edward."
"WHAT?" Well, that woke them up.
"Shhh, you don't want to wake my parents." I hushed, earning sheepish glances.
"Sorry, but what made you finally realize that you are in love with him?" Alice asked. I could tell she was probable screaming 'I knew it, I knew it, I knew it.'
"Well I had this dream…" I explained the dream to them. That Edward told me he loved me. That I told him I loved him and that we almost kissed before I fell out of bed and woke up. "The more I thought about it, the more it made sense for me to love him."
Rose and Alice looked at each other then looked at me "We told you so."
"What should I do now?"
"Tell him, of course." Rosalie said like it was the most obvious answer. I guess it was but the problem was what his reply might be in return.
"But what if he doesn't feel the same?" I wasn't sure how I could handle rejection.
"You'll never know unless you tell him." Alice said sincerely.
"I know, but-"
"No 'buts. Bella, you need to tell Edward how you feel. I'm positive he feels the same way. I've been watching you two, especially last night at the ball and I can tell that you two love each other." Alice expressed, her eyes remembering.
"Really?" I questioned.
"Yes, really. I've noticed it as well." Rose chimed in.
"I guess I'll go tell him." I was about to walk out my bedroom door when I remembered what time it was. "Or maybe I'll wait until he's awake."
I got into to bed and Alice and Rosalie joined me. They were too tired to walk back their rooms so they slept in my room. They were both out within seconds. Before I fell asleep I couldn't help but wonder if Edward really did love me. My dreams for the rest of the night were filled with him.
