BPOV

"AAAAHHHHH!" I awoke to find myself all alone in the bed, woken up by Alice squealing. I jumped into the shower, and rinsed my poor, puffy, red eyes out. I remembered everything from yesterday, and I shuddered. I was thankful for Edward saving me. My arm was sore from the cuts, but I knew they'd heal. My heart, I wasn't so sure about.

As I trudged downstairs in Capri's and a green tank top, I heard Edward whispering furiously.

"Alice, I tell her. Its my surprise. So keep your mouth shut."

As I came into view, I caught her pouting. Edward stared at me, cautiously, like he was afraid id burst into tears. When I smiled timidly, he pulled his mouth up into a grin and enveloped me into a hug. I nestled into him. "Ahem. Edward, hurry up and tell her.." Alice whined. I pulled back and looked at him curiously. Sighing and glaring at Alice, he pulled out a bunch of paper from his pocket. He handed one to me. I read it over, not saying a word. I looked up at him with my eyes full of excitement.

"We're going to New York?" I tried to say, but it came out as a hoarse whisper from all the crying I did yesterday. Alice nodded enthusiastically, and bobbed her head up and down. "tomorrow morning?" I gasped.

He just nodded and smiled.

"You remembered." I told him, astonished.

He nodded again.

"huh?" Alice asked, but neither of us answered. I could tell we were both flashing back to when it was the summer before Edward moved.

Flashback(age 15)

We were both sitting on his couch, watching TV, waiting on Alice to finish putting on her make-up. We were fixing' to go to the movies.

"Bella,, I' m glad you don't take this long to get ready." Edward complained to me.

Laughing, I responded with, "yeah. I could never take this long to go somewhere. Though, New York is a different story.."I mumbled the last part.

" you want to go to new York? Well, one day ill take you. Promise. But you cant take forever to get ready, like the pixie in there." he jabbed his thumb in the direction of Alice." Heard that!" she yelled. We started giggling. Then Emmett came out, wearing a bikini top, and boxers. He had a half-melted ice-cream cone in his hand, and chocolate smeared around his mouth. I took one look at him and started laughing. He just stood there, looking stupid. Then he ran off, screaming something about Hannah Montana. We laughed.

End of flashback

"I can't believe you remembered…"I trailed off. The tears in my eyes were starting to fall down my cheeks. I was extremely happy. He just had brilliant surprise after surprise. He never disappointed me.

"When do we leave?" I asked.

"In three days.." he said, throwing me that crooked smile. I felt myself go weak in the knees.

Alice chose that moment to rudely interrupt. "but Lauren's party is tonight, and we're going. So Bella, upstairs."

I saw that glint in her eyes. Oh no. "Alice, please, please, please no." I begged. Edward stared clueless at us. Apparently he could see I didn't want to do this, so he grabbed my hand and we took off up the stairs to his room, locked the door and collapsed onto his bed, laughing. Alice started banging on his door, demanding to be let in. I just laughed harder. Then suddenly the banging stopped. The doorknob rattled a few times. She had a hairpin. I looked at Edward, surprised to find him smirking. "it won't work." he assured me. Groaning, I heard Alice stomp off.

I giggled. Edward asked for my explanation to my begging.

"Well, uhm, Alice likes to play Bella Barbie. And I hate getting dressed up…" I mumbled. His face looked pained and sympathetic. I was guessing he'd been through that. Then he randomly started tickling my sides. I was gasping for air when suddenly Alice was knocking on the door. "Alice, go the he-"but he was cut off. "Edward, if you don't let Bella out, I swear I will go key your precious car." I panicked as Edward's face became shocked, then serious, then sympathetic. He picked me up and threw me into the hall with a, "sorry Bella!". I glared at him. He smiled. Alice dragged me to her room to torture me.

"No way in hell am I wearing that. No." I said to Alice. She had put me into a small, black dress. It was strapless, and went to about mid-thigh. Then matching heels. "Want to bet?" she threatened. I gulped. She grinned. Then I looked into the mirror. My hair was straightened, and hanging on my shoulders with a black bow clipped into one side. Then my eyes were smoky looking. I looked hot, but the dress was sluttish. She looked at me with her don't-even-try-to-argue-with-me look. I grimaced. She left to get ready, then Rose. Rose came out in a red dress similar to mine, and Alice in a yellow one. Only Alice….

By now it was six o' clock. I walked down the stairs after Ali and Rosie. Emmett wolf-whistled at Rose and pulled her into a kiss. Jasper let his eyes roam over Alice, then he tipped his hat and said, "Lookin' beautiful as always, darlin." I giggled at him. Then I let my eyes wander to Edward. Dressed in a tee shirt and ripped up jeans, he was looking fine. His eyes swept over my body. His eyes flashed up to mine. I blushed a deep red. He took my hand and led me to his car. We drove off to Lauren's house with Alice and Rosie following with Em and Jazz. I realized when we arrived that no one had seen Edward since middle school. I groaned inwardly at the stares we'd get. He helped me out and into her house. Tanya came over, with Lauren and Jessica right behind her. Tanya's eyes shone with lust already.

Soon all of us split up. Except me and Edward, who unfortunately had tanya clinging to him. I decided to get some punch. I mumbled a, 'be right back' to Edward and disappeared. I was beginning to like him more and more. As I came back, I noticed Edward kissing Tanya. I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces. I ran off. Mike found me a few minutes later, and pulled me to my feet. Then he just slammed his lips into mine. I pulled back and slapped him. Then I ran off, and passed Edward pulling Tanya onto a chair, making out. My heart throbbed painfully. I ran straight into Alice, who noticed my tears. "Bells, what happened?"

I just shook my head, the tears falling faster now. I pointed to Edward and Tanya. Her eyes grew dark. "He. Did. Not." As if he could feel her glare, he looked up. His eyes met my tear filled ones, and then I bolted, Ali and Rose at my heels. We jumped into Em's jeep and sped off.

At the cullen house, I just cried. "I actually thought he l-l-liked me…" I stumbled out. Rose's eyes flashed, and Alice patted me soothingly.

Then Edward appeared. "Hey Belly-Button. Whatsa matter?" he asked. He got three glares in return.

The next two days went by quickly. Soon, Alice was waking me up. "Bella, its time to leave for New York." she whispered excitedly. I half smiled. I dragged my suitcases to the car, after getting in ths shower. As Jazz was loading Alice's last suitcase, a bright pink bug pulled up. Tanya hopped out, and flauntered over to Edward. She pecked him on the lips. I cringed.

How could I have been so stupid to have thought he liked me? He obviously would date her. Here she was, giving him a goodbye.

I hated this. She was way prettier than me. Her strawberry blonde curls flowed down her back, she had light, but tan skin, rosy red lips, and bright blue eyes. She had great curves, and long legs. I sighed. I knew she'd be leaving in a few minutes. But then she was pulling suitcaeses out of her trunk, and into Edward's.. Alice shot him a questioning glare.

He cleared his throat uncomfortably. "uh, guys," he shifted his feet, "Tanya's going with us."
