Chapter 4- The Trick Is To Keep Breathing

I woke up to the sound of Alice's way to high-pitched voice for this early in the morning. "Bella wake up! Wake up, wake up, wake up!"

I groaned and rolled on my stomach pulling the pillow over my head. I am not a morning person and I hate to being woken up.

"Bella Swan get your butt up" She started bouncing on her knees making the bed bounce.

I grabbed the pillow next to me and hit her in the head with it, without moving from my sleeping postion. Everyone laughed as Alice yelled "Hey!" I even chuckled a little.

"I told you its not pleasant."Rose said. And I heard a musical chuckle that I instanly reconized as Edwards.

As much as i wanna sleep, i also wanna see Edward. Hmm. . I finally decided I should probably just get up because there is no way the're gonna let me sleep anyway.

I sighed and rolled off the bed. "Shes up." Emmet boomed. I glared at all of them, and silently walked to the bathroom and slammed the door. They all laughed at my dramatic departure.

So I guess the reason we had to wake up so stinkin early was because they wanted to go to breakfast together before we headed home.

We ate at a Denny's close by. We had all stayed together last night talking until very early this morning. Rose and Emmet stayed at the pool most of the time, and Alice and Jasper walked in the halls, which left me and Edward alone in the room.

We mostly just talked, about everything and anything, although he never mentioned Nate again, which I was grateful for. I could have talked to him all night. Well I pratically did.

After we ate, we headed back to the hotel and packied up the jeep so we could head home. We said our goodbye's because Alice and Edward were staying an extra night. We all made plans to meet up on Monday.

We jumped in the jeep and drove off, leaving our new friends behind.

"So Jas, Alice is pretty cute huh?" I mentioned as soon as we were on the rode.

Rose blurted out a laugh, that she tried to descise as a cough.

He turned back to glare at us. I gave him and innocent "What?" look.

"Come on Jazzy, we know you like her, just admit it." Rose tanunted.

Still silent. So I looked at Rose and she nodded knowing my plan.

"Oh well then. I guess he dont want to know what she said about him." I shrugged my shoulders at Rose and so did she.

"What did she say?!" He blurted out. We all started laughing.

"I knew it!" I pointed at him laughing.

"You liars." He pouted, we all just kept laughing.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

A few days later I had found out Alice and Jasper did end up getting together as well as Rose and Emmet finally.

Me, Rose, and Alice were sitting on Rose's bed listening to music when Rose suddenly asked Alice.

"So you and my brother huh?" I stiffled a giggle. Alice's face was pricless.

"Im not sure I know what you mean" Alice lied uncovincingly.

"Alice we already know, you can tell us." Rose said cooley.

Alice didn't say anything for a few moments. So I started to get off the bed "Fine ill just go ask Jas then, he'll tell me." I teased walking to the door.

"Fine!" Alice shouted. I sat back down victoriously.

"Jasper asked me out." Alice said. We stared at her.

"And. . ." Rose asked impatiently.

"And, I said yes! "Alice squealed. We laughed.

"Yeah Jasper told us already." I said nonchalantly. He did on the trip back. Me and Rose shamlessly teased him about her until he spilled.

She glared at us. "You guys are impossible." She muttered. Me and Rose started laughing and soon Alice joined in.

"And as for you Rose." I hinted.

Rose smiled "Yep us too!" she said proudly. I squealed and wrapped my arms around her knocking her back onto the bed.

"Its about time!" I squealed and she laughed. Alice was still staring at us confused by our sudden excitment.

I rolled off or Rosalie and she sat up explaining "Emmet and I also got together last weekend." Alice still looked confused.

"You guys barely got together? I thought you guys have always been dating." She said with a shrug.

I let out a giggle because that was exactly my point. Rose just narrowed her eyes at me than laughing.

"Yeah, yeah. I know. " she finally admitted.

"What about you Bella." Alice asked.

"What?" I asked confused. They both truly looked curious, like I really had something to spill.

"Oh come on Bella, you and Edward were alone pratically all night." Alice finally said.

"So what, you guys were alone with the boys all night too." I said without thinking.

Rose and Alice looked at each other than at me like I was stupid.

"Okay nevermind not a good argument." they laughed. "but seriously I dont know why you guys are asking."

"Bella I know you," Rose gave me a pointed look. "and I can tell you like Edward." I blushed, she does know me better than anyone.

"And I know Edward, and he likes you." Alice added.

I just shook my head "You guys are crazy. For one, He does not like me" I turned to stare at Alice," and two I have a boyfr. . ." I trailed off. Oops. Crap. Reflex. "I mean. . . ugh. Nevermind. You guys are just crazy." I let out a frustrated sigh.

Rose looked at me with sympathetic eyes and Alice looked confused. She still hasn't heard about the whole Nate situation.

"Bells you never did tell me what exactly happened." Rose softly stated.

I sighed. "Where should I start."I asked.

"Well how about with what the heck your talking about." Alice cut in.

We laughed "Oh yeah sorry we haven't actually got around to telling you about this.

"Well you remember that Nathan guy we talked about in the car?" Alice nodded that she knew what I was talking about. "Well he is sort of um, my ex. We dated for 3 years and we just broke up about a week and a half ago."I looked down, to get control of my emotions.

"Oh Bell im so sorry. I had no idea. Now I understand the akwardness in the car." Alice said quickly.

"But wait. If you have all been friends forever, why did you guys stop hanging out with him? I can understand why Bella, but why all of you?" She asked Rose.

"Well I was getting to that part ." I told her. She nodded geasturing for me to go on. I took a deep breath and started our long story.

"Well for the last 3 months he had started acting. . . different." I went on to explain how he had changed and that none of us approved of his new life style.

"Okay so now to the break-up." Rose said impatiently.

"Okay, So the last time i talked to you was the night before right?" Rose nodded."Okay, so we hung out on Sunday at Nate's house when his stoner friends called remember and he was going leave us to go hang out with them and thats when him and Em got in that fight about how he has changed." She nodded again, she remembered.

"Well you all left and he was bummed about his fight with Emmet, so he started rambling about how Em was a jerk and saying mean stuff and I blew up. I started yelling at him about how I agreed with Emmet and he kicked me out." Rose and Alice's eyes widened in shock.

"Yeah I know." I said raising my eyebrows. "Well I was beyond mad, I went home and wouldn't answer his phone calls. He called 37 times and I finally just turned off my phone. Well I fell asleep and in the morning I had calmed down and figured, I would be mad if all my friends and boyfriend accused me of changing. So I turned on my phone and called him he didnt answer. So after I tried his cell a few times I called his house. James answered, Nates dad." I added the last part when I realized Alice had no idea who James was. "and he said he was down at La Push beach with Jake and Quil and them. I was mad he wasn't answer his phone and that he was with them.

"So I went down to La Push and when I found where they were, I saw Jessica Stanley on his lap." Alice gasped and Rose just look stunned." So obviously I was mad. I marched over there and he was stoned. He immedietly pushed Jessica off him and stood up. I just glared at him and walked towards the forest knowing he would follow.

"I turned around and began shouting at him 'What the hell was that' he told me 'she's just a friend, your always sitting on Em and Jas' laps and I never say anything' I laughed 'oh please I have grown up with Em and Jas its a whole different situation, and I never sit on them like that' he then confessed he had cheated on me before. We faught for awhile and it kept going back to his new friends. So I gave him and ultimatum, me or his new friends. He chose them." I stopped, tears began silently falling down my face.

I was instantly wrapped in the girls' arms. They just held me as I cried. Rocking me slowly.

We pulled apart and Rose said "Gee if Emmet heard that story it would have been a total different outcome at the beach."

"I know" I said truly knowing it would have been.

"Wait so Rose I never asked you how did you find out we broke up?" I asked, I didn't ever tell her.

"Oh yeah Nate came over my house and we asked where you were and he said he didn't know you guys broke up. I immediatly started calling you but you never answered. Then him and Jas got in a fight and it was then we realized we couldn't be friends with him anymore. And this was all before we knew how bad you really were. Once Charlie called us worried about you, Emmet and Jas wanted to go hunt him down literally. It took me forever to calm them down and convince them you needed us right now."

We just sat there in silence, tears running down all our faces.

I sighed "Gosh how did things get so screwed up so fast Rose." I asked.

She shook her head putting her arm around me pulling my head to her shoulder. "I dont know Bells. But he's not Nate anymore you know that. It hurts all of us knowing he isn't the same." She said sadly.

Alice had just been sitting there in complete silence, probably trying to process all the information she just recieved.

She finally spoke "You guys have had a rough couple of weeks huh?" We both nodded.

"Unbelievably hard." I agreed.

We all sat in silence for awhile before the three boys stormed in the room, they had went to the gym. I was happy Edward fit in so well with them, I could tell they truly liked him. I know they missed Nathan so i was relieved Edward got along with them.

They took in our positions, me with my head on Rose's shoulder and Alice's arms around me and instantly realized the solem mood in the room.

They all knew why too. All the sudden they were whispering to one another and then left without a word. We all looked at each other.

"That was odd." Rose laughed. Me and Alice nodded in agreement.

We sat back in the silence for about another half hour, when all the sudden we heard the Spice Girls' Wannabe blaring from the living room.

Me and Rose looked at each other with a knowing look, the boys know me and Rose can't resist the Spice Girls. We got up and walked into the front room and there they were. The three guys dressed as girls wigs, dresses, make-up and all. The sight of them dancing and singing, knowing the words flawlessly I might add, sent us into hysterics.

We fell to the floor not being able to even stand, I was crying from laughing so hard and my stomach ached. They finished and we clapped and cheered as they bowed.

"Wait hold on!" I called and ran back into Rose's room and got my camera from my purse.

I came back in the living room and Alice began clapping and bouncing up and down when she saw I had a camera.

The boys posed in various "Spice Girl" stances, each getting more ridiculous then the rest. We took a lot of pictures, us girls even joining them in some of them.

I put my camera away and we all sat on the couches still laughing at there performance.

"Well you girls seemed so sad so we thought we would cheer you up." Jasper admitted throwing me a sweet smile. He knew why and he did this for me. I beamed a smile back.

We began talking about mine and Rose's Spice Girl addiction when we were younger.

"Yeah we loved them as little girls" I admitted.

"As little girls?" Jasper narrowed his eyes at me.

"Okay okay we still love them." I said throwing my arms up in defeat.

"Heck yes we do" Rose cheered and we high fived across Edward who was sitting between us. We started laughing again when all the sudden I realized something.

"Wait, wait. where in the world did you guys get wigs and dresses?" I asked truly curious.

Alice, Rose looked at them wondering the same thing. We stared at them waiting for an answer.

"Oh you dont wanna know" Edward said in a warning tone. We all laughed.

"Yeah I dont think I wanna know." Alice said raising her little hands in the air. And with that we started laughing hysterically again.

I looked around at all the gorgeous faces surrounding me and had to smile. They were all beautiful not only on the outside, but the inside as well. I was so happy that we were having fun again. With all the pain and loss we went through the last month, it was good to laugh and be happy.

We're going to be okay. Looking around now and seeing the joy in all there faces I realize we will make it through this, together. Like we have pulled through everything else in our life.

I then looked up at the beautiful face next to me. Yeah we're going to be okay.

Just then Edward looked down and me with his beautiful crooked grin across his face and emerald eyes shining. Yeah, im gonna be okay.
