As I walked toward the balcony I couldn't help but think of everthing that happened in such short amount of time. I never thought someone like Jacob, who did so much to prove his love for me just threw it away. He left his friends for me but then he cheated on me with Tanya? I didn't care about that right now, all I cared about was proving him wrong. I know it was wrong to act like this but I had to forget or somehow cover up the whole he had built within my chest. Which only contained sadness and lonliness.
I looked around me to see that we were surrounded by millions of twinkling lights. The lights seemed to blend in with the stars in the horizon and turn into one.
Edward sat in the only table in the center of lights and I sat down in the opposite side.
He was looking up at the sky he looked thoughtful and bemused at the same time. While he was staring up I was staring at him. I didn't want to oogle him but I just couldn't help myself.
He cleared his throat trying to get my attention I looked up again and he just smiled. It wasn't like his cocky smiles that got on my nerves as soon as I learned he was a jerk. This smile had so much meaning into it, that I just wanted to stay with Edward for the rest of the night and just talk.
"Bella, I just wanted to ask if we were going to do this at school because I would imagine someone like Jacob Black goes to Forks High."
I had thought about it a bit.
"Edward I understand if you don't want to pretend but I've been thinking about it. I don't want jacob in my life but I clearly can't let go-"
"Bella, I also understand and if you need my help I'm here for you," he whispered as he looked directly to my eyes. "Oh and also it can help me win our little bet." He smirked.
"Edward you okay, you seem to have a smiling disorder it's started to ruin your 'prefect' image." I grinned.
"Whatever." He glared.
"Ooh scary." I taunted.
"Swan, when you fall for me you will beg me to even look at you, so enjoy it while you can." He started smirking again and it just irritated me when he did that.
"Edward, you know your the biggest jerk I've ever met." I replied through my gritted teeth, to keep me from screaming.
"Ouch." He winced sarcasticaly as he put his hand across his heart, "that cut deep."
"Masen, just shut up. I don't want to hold on to Jacob like that, but right now all I can think about is about proving him wrong. I would like your help when your not acting like an ignorrant bastard but it would be easier if you just said no." I replied angrily. Truth was I needed Edward's help to prove Jacob wrong and Edward seemed nice when his cockiness wasn't taking over him.
"and also," I continued, "I am in love with Jacob and I will not fall for you." I stated sternly as I crossed my arms across my chest.
I think I heard him mumble, "We'll see about that."
"What did you say." I asked.
"Nothing, I said you don't know that." He said as he looked up at the sky.
"Edward you don't know what the meaning of love is, someone like you doesn't love." He looked hurt and angry at the same time but the one that overcame the other emotion was frustration and anger.
"Bella," He started off saying slowly, "you don't know anything about me, you don't know what I've been through." He hesitated wether he should continue or not as he ran his hand through his bronze hair.
"So Bella don't judge before you even know, and besides what's the whole point of this if you already hate me." His green orbs didn't match with his face. His face projected the angerness but his eyes showed me otherwise he was somehow hurt by my words more than I thought they would.
" It's to show him that I don't need him." I mumbled. Well, that was a pathetic excuse.
I was already imagining Edward laughing at me but his words surprised me.
"Then Bella I can help." His voice rang out full of sincerity. His face had the same thing, sincerity.
"Edward I just don't know, your a player all you want to is get in my pants and laugh at me." I said. Why did I care I was in love with Jacob. So why did I worry about getting hurt.
" Bella I'm not like that everything has a reason." He exclaimed.
"Edward, you don't have to give me an explanation. I understand that someone like you can't love." I replied as I stared at his eyes.
He looked mad but he didn't say anything. He suddenly reached out for my hand that were on top of the table and held them in his. The warmth shot through my whole body instantly.
"Bella I-" he began, "well I don't want to be who I used to be. I know I was a monstor but I'm here and I want to start over as the Edward that my family loved. I don't know if you can understand this but I am tired of the old me." He said as he looked down at our hands intwined together.
"Edward, that still doesn't change anything." I replied without even thinking about it.
He sat down and seemed to think something very deeply I couldn't help but stare again. Why, why did he have to be so handsome.
"Bella I understand that you can't trust me after everything I've done in the past, so all I can do is propose a truce." Edward said
"a truce, what type of truce?" I asked.
" Let's be friend's to demonstrate Black that you don't need him. I understand if you want to have some rules or something but it''s just that I want to start over by helping someone. It will be like a good deed." That seemed reasonable I guess it wouldn't hurt to become friends and besides he was going to help me prove Jacob wrong and that was all I needed for now.
"Edward, thank you for proposing that. I don't want any more enemies than I already have, so as long as your basically yourself with me I'm okay with it." I said.
He gave me a crooked grin that made his eyes shine with the reflection of the lights I couldn't help but grin back. While I was staring at his eyes and our hands were still intwined together, the wind started getting blow harder and colder. So I shivered to only see Edward frown. He let go of my hands and I instantly missed the warmth. He took his chair and he brought it next to mine, he took off his jacket and he put it on my shoulders and he also wound his arms around me. I was warm so I didn't argue with Edward.
"I don't want you get sick Bella, I hope you don't mind." Edward said. I nesteled my head against chest because he was warm. I didn't mind it was like I knew Edward my whole life.
"Then I hope you don't mind because I'm cold." I laughed.
Edward chuckled along with me and it just felt so good being friends with Edward.
"So Bella tell me about yourself." Edward said as he interrupted my thoughts and my laughter.
"Like what?" I asked. What was he curious about.
"What you like, important things to you……I don't know just something that helps me learn about you." I paused and thought about it. I told him about my favorite color, book, teacher, animal, how my life was like at Phoenix. He seemed interested the whole time he didn't interrupt me. So I decided I wanted to learn about him.
"So Edward I talked about myself enough, tell me about your life in Alaska why did you come here." He looked sad and devastated, why?
"I'm sorry Edward if you don't want to it's fine with me." I interrupted.
"It's not that I don't want to tell you Bella it's just that I can't tell you now but I will tell you one day." I couldn't help but think what he didn't want to tell to me.
"Bella let's go eat before Emmett eats all the food." I nodded along and I stood up with him. We walked back to the inside of the restaurant. I still had Edward's jacket and I could smell his scent. It was like no other perfume it was unique. When we walked inside I noticed that Alice was smiling eagerly and Emmett was too concerned with the food.
Emmett looked up in time before we sat down, " Bellie and Eddie you finally came and your nicknames rhyme." Edward looked mad now.
"Emmett how many times have I told you don't call me Eddie." Edward seethed.
"Oh I am so sorry Edwierdo." Emmett was smirking at Edward. He just sat down and I did too. Alice was looking at Edward and me back and forth. What was wrong with her she seemed to notice me looking at her so she looked away and started a conversation.
"Well I didn't know what to get you so I got you both a mushroom ravioli is that ok." Alice asked hesitantly.
Edward beat me to the punch, "Sure Alice as long as we eat before Emmett eats it all." I just cracked a smile.
"So what happened you took quite awhile outside." I blushed but Edward took my hand under the table and gave me a reassuring look. I just smiled Alice seemed to notice this because her grin grew wider.
"Well my lovely cousin we talked and fixed our differences." Edward replied smoothly.
"Oh so now you guys are friends." Alice stated as she looked at Edward.
"Yes, Alice we are do you have a problem with it." Edward replied.
"No. not at all." Alice seemed happy about this but this was very suspicious. Usually she would ask questions non-stop.
"Alice. When we get back home we need to talk about some stuff." I said.
Alice didn't look happy now. Ha I ruined her fun now she has to tell me why she's been all smug and happy and smiley.
"Alice, Emmett, and Bella we should all go it's practically almost eleven p.m and the restaurant will close up pretty soon and if we want to head back to Forks before midnight." Edward said.
"Aww…Eddie I want to eat more." Emmett was hilarious didn't he eat enough already. He basically had plates stacked next to him. Edward shook his head and Emmett frowned. Edward took out the money and paid the bill while everyone else walked back to the car.
We had the same seating arragements but this time I didn't mind.
As I sat down I just replayed what happened today. Edward didn't want to fight, he wanted to be friends, and he is a stupid gentalmen. I sighed and I only earned curious looks from everyone.
Oh shoot Bella shut up. What is wrong with me stupid hormones.
Nobody was speaking you could feel the murmur of the car I didn't know when I fell asleep. The last thing I felt was someone putting his arms around me and I just gave in and got comfortable.
Alice POV
As I was driving back to Forks and I couldn't help but think at how awesome I am. I knew Edward and Bella would be a perfect match. I looked at my mirror to only see Bella sleeping in Edward's arms. He had a smile as he held on to her he looked like he was in love. I looked back at the road because I didn't want to crash but I actually wanted to squeal and scream out loud. I was so happy for my cousin and my sister.
I truly hoped at that moment that I would find my other halve.
I looked at Edward and Bella again and I couldn't help but plan ahead.
So now my plan: (bold means completed)
A) They need to become friends
B) Earn trust and become the best of friends. *
C) Edward asks her on a date*
D) Become the perfect couple*
I feel like it's my duty to push them together or faith can do it. I strongly believe it will have the same outcome. I couldn't help but giggle. I turned around to see Edward and Emmett staring at me like I grew a moustache.
"What? can't a girl have fun." I asked.
They simply shrugged. Edward went back to staring at Bella and Emmett took out his psp to play with it.
Kids now in days...
