I stepped into my car after the last period of the day only to be thinking about Bella. Why was I thinking of her so much? I would love to have an answer to this, but I won't probably for a while. Alice called me after school, once I was on the way home. I was wondering why she was calling, so I picked up the phone.

"Hey Edward, can't talk long, but you might want to go over to Emmett's house, or my house. Either way would be better than you going home." And with the warning she hung up the phone. I was so used to this that I just clicked my phone shut and started going towards her house.

As I headed up the drive-way to Alice's house, I felt like I invading privacy. I didn't mean to intentionally, but I knew that she would complain that I didn't go over to her house last night instead of Emmett's.

I jumped out of my car and ran to the door with a light knock. Alice stood there smiling and I knew that she wanted to know information from that smile. "Hey Alice!" I said breathlessly.

"Hey Edward, glad you came here." She laughed lightly at my breathlessness. She moved aside so then I could walk in. I slowly walked into her house. I have been here many times, it's just that I never felt really comfortable stepping into anyone's house, including my own. "So…" Alice was thinking of a question that she could ask me. I wasn't even in her house for two seconds before she started questioning me…this is going to be torture.

She sat there thinking of a way to phrase her question, I guess. "Do you like Isabella?"

Blunt with it I guess. "First of all Alice it's Bella. And is it that obvious?" I questioned and honestly hoped that it wasn't that obvious.

"Edward, she told us to call her Isabella, not Bella."

"Well she told me to call her Bella." I argued back.

"Edward" she sighed getting annoyed, "do you like her?"

"Umm…" I had to put all my emotions out there for her to figure out. "Well whenever I see her I get butterflies, and I really don't like being away from her. She is the most beautiful thing that the universe has ever created." I paused and looked at Alice who had tears in her eyes. "What would you call that?"

The tears that were in Alice's eyes spilled over, but she caught them. "Well Edward…that's well…" she was at a loss for words! I have never done that to her before! Initiate the internal happy dance. "I think you're in love." At that the happy dance stopped and I looked at her confused. She must have understood the question in my eyes because she answered with a laugh. "That's how I feel about Jasper, and how Rosalie feels about Emmett. It's the other way around too."

I stood there gapping at her. "What?" I asked with a choked voice.

"I think you're in love with Is- Bella." She looked curious about my reaction, but said nothing about it. That I was thankful for.

"How am I supposed to know how she feels about me?" I asked and hoped that she would have an answer for me.

"How about you ask her if she likes you, nothing more because then she would freak out. If Jasper came up to me before we started dating and asked 'Do you love me Alice' then I wouldn't have ever said yes to him. So take it slow."

"Thanks Alice." To be truthful I loved Alice's advice. She usually got straight to the point and never said a lie about it.

"I think you can go home now Edward" she said with a sigh. "I have a feeling that ALL of them are passed out." I nodded and walked to the door. "Thanks for answering my questions!" she yelled out before I shut the door.

I slowly walked to my car and then opened the door. Tomorrow I am going to ask Bella if she likes me, a long shot I know, but it will help me if she at least likes me. That was the only thought I had while I was driving straight to hell.

Luckly when I walked through the door, James, Victoria, and Laurent were all passed out on the floor. I tip-toed upstairs and went straight to my room. The music that I put on lulled me to sleep. The last thought I had was that of Bella.
