SM OWNS IT ALL.
Edward's been back for a week now. I've survived one week of avoiding him like the plague; it feels like an eternity.
He won't just show up at my house…at least I hope he doesn't. I want to delay seeing him for as long as possible.
That may be hard to do, though since his best friend happens to be Alice's boyfriend. She's already seen him but I forbid her from telling me anything about him. I don't want to know if he asked or didn't ask about me. I don't know which would hurt more.
"Um…Jaz is having a barbeque today." Alice says hesitantly. "You wanna come?" She juts out her bottom lip like Sophie does. They're so much alike.
"Is he gonna be there?" I know it's a stupid question.
"Well…yeah. It's kinda for him."
"Hmm." I look down at my coffee and stir it. "I'm still avoiding him so that would be a no." I tell her without looking up.
My stomach is in knots again.
"You have to face him sometime. We have the same friends, Bella, you can't avoid him forever. And maybe it's better if you saw each other in a group setting…to make it easier."
If I see him, I might throw up. If it happened to be all over his shoes, I wouldn't feel too bad.
Blah, thinking of vomiting brings back memories of…well, vomiting.
