Chapter 5 (BPOV)

When I found out that Edward was my doctor, I was surprised to say the least. Here was this man that I hardly knew, but yet couldn't get off my mind. I'd never been the type of girl to swoon over some boy I didn't know. I'd only had one boyfriend, which was Jacob, and he didn't work out so well. The car ride was at some points awkward. I was shocked most when I let it slip that I was writing a novel. I'm usually very guarded. I don't let anything slip, and yet I just let it flow casually to this man I hardly know.

I put my face in my hands to hide my blush. For some reason I hated people knowing that I write.

"Is there something wrong?" He asked.

"I can't believe I let that slip out. I make an effort not tell anyone, even Alice, and I just let it slip to someone I don't really know. I didn't even think before I said it."

"Well, I won't tell anyone. So you're a writer?"

"Editor," I corrected him. "I write in my free time."

"Well I'm a doctor that plays the piano." Of course he would play the most romantic instrument. It made sense that he played it though. You expect doctors to excel at something other than their profession.

"Those kind of go hand in hand," I laughed.

"Well so does being an editor and a writer," He retorted, and when he said it like that, they did go hand in hand. Maybe I was just being self-conscious this whole time, and worrying about what other people think. I've been known to do that.

"I guess so," I was quiet for a moment. "But don't tell anyone."

"Scouts honor," I looked over at him and saw that he was doing the gesture over his heart.

I laughed. "You know that only works if you were actually in Boy Scouts."

"Well you just happen to be riding in the car with the man who won Best Scout four years running."

"Impressive."

"Thank you. It's one of my greatest accomplishments."

I laughed again and turned to look out the window.

It was quiet for a while, neither of us knowing what to really say to each other.

I was fidgeting with my jacket when Edward spoke up. "So what type of book are you writing?"

"Uh, romance." It was cliché for every girl to write a romance novel, I know. But mine.. I thought mine was different. It resembled more of a Wuthering Heights love story, not the modern girl meets boy, girl falls for boy, boy has girlfriend love story. It was more of an old English love story. Before everyone with a computer decided to be a writer.

"Are you planning on having it published?"

Was I? I'd thought about it sure, but this was my baby. Did I really want some editor with better things to do, skim through it, not really understanding the time and effort I put into it? When I edited a novel I took the time to understand the characters, put myself in their shoes, try to understand their dilemmas. Most editors just want to get it over with and move on to the next one.

"I don't think so."

Edward's face look puzzled. "Why?" "Well being an editor myself I know what the person would be thinking when they read it. They wouldn't take the time to actually read the novel. They would just worry about getting it done and receiving their paycheck."

Edward nodded. "Are you like that?"

I thought about it for a moment. "I try not to be. I try to take time to read the novel."

Edward was quiet for a moment. "When you were in the room with Stephenie talking with her about her book, you seemed genuinely interested in her novel. That's when I realized you took your job seriously. You realized that someone else had put so much effort into this, you needed to give it a chance. You don't see that too often in people."

I was a little surprised he heard us talking. I didn't think he was in the room. "That's what I think about when I edit. I know this is someone's baby, just as my novel is mine, I try to treat it like this was my story. I treat it with the same care. And yes, you're right you don't see to many genuinely nice people often."

"Do you consider yourself a genuinely nice person?"

"Not really. I try to be. But can anyone be a genuinely nice person? We all have selfish tendencies and sometimes those overpower the non selfish tendencies."

"That is very true. But some people don't even have non selfish tendency in their body. Some people are just truly evil."

The person who immediately went through was Jacob. But Jacob wasn't truly evil. He just wasn't a good boyfriend, well to me at least.

I looked up and realized that we were at my apartment building. "What about you? Do you consider yourself a genuinely nice person?"

He was quiet for a moment. "I guess my answer is the same as yours. I try to be, but sometimes I fail."

I nodded and gathered my purse to get out of the car. "Bella, wait."

I looked back at Edward who looked like he was having a war inside his mind. What I wouldn't give to be able to read his mind.

"Yes?"

He looked down. "Do you think we could possibly go out sometime? Like to dinner?"

W-what?! This gorgeous doctor was asking me out? SCORE!

"I'd like that." I said with a big smile on my face.

He looked up with a big grin on his face that matched mine. I reached into my purse and pulled out of one my cards and handed it to him. "It has my cell on there. Call me when you're free."

"I will. Have a nice day Bella."

I smiled at him. "Have a nice day Edward."

I got out of the car and walked to the door. I was greeted by, Alan. The doorman. He was old, but he was really sweet.

"Miss Bella is that a man I see?" "Yes, Alan."

"Good." He smiled, then he leaned in and whispered. "I'm happy to see that you've moved on. I'd never really liked that other guy. Always seemed sketchy to me."

I laughed. "Well why didn't you tell me?"

"Wasn't my place."

"Well have a nice day, Alan."

"You to, Miss Swan."

I looked back at where Edward was parked and waved, he waved back and drove off. I walked to my apartment with a huge smile on my face.

BrEaK

"Romeo! Come Eat!"

It was Monday, and I'd still hadn't gotten a call from Edward. Maybe he changed his mind? Maybe he realized that he was to gorgeous to ask me out? Of course he was a doctor and was very busy. I need to give him more than a day to call me back before a start to panic.

I was placing Romeo's food down when I heard the doorbell ring. I opened the door to a very upset looking Alice.

"Hi Alice. Is there something wrong?"

She let out a cry and ran into my arms. "I-I told Jasper about the-the baby and he left Bella! He left! Just walked out of the apartment without another word!"

She started sobbing when she was done. How could Jasper do this to her? A feeling of protectiveness went through me, and all I wanted to do was kick Jasper's ass.

After an hour of calming Alice down and giving her some tea, she fell asleep cuddling with Romeo. I called the one person who would know where Jasper was.

"Hello?"

"Rosalie?"

"Hey Bella! What can I do for you?"

"Do you know where Jasper is?" I asked.

"He's at Emmett's. Why?"

I wasn't sure if Alice wanted her to know. "Um, could come over for like an hour and watch Alice?"

"Uh, sure. Give me about 20 minutes and I'll be there."

"Thanks." I said gratefully.

I was standing by the door waiting on Rosalie thinking about what I would do to Jasper when I saw him. My first instinct was to punch him until he saw the error in his ways. But I knew Alice wouldn't like that, so I settled for going over there and giving him a firm talking to, but if it got violent it wouldn't be my fault.

At first I was a little shocked at how angry I was at Jasper. I'd never gotten violent with anyone. Even when Jacob told me that he was the father of someone else's child, I knew he was doing the right thing. He couldn't abandon her. I respected him for that. But Jasper was just being a coward.

I heard a knock on the door. I opened it up to a very worried looking Rosalie.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"Well I'm going to find your brother to kick his ass. When Alice wakes up don't tell her where I went, please."

"Why are you so mad at him?" I looked up at her. She looked a little protective of him, but once she found out what he did to Alice I'm sure that would change. "I think Alice should be the one to tell you." She nodded and walked towards the living room.

"I should be back in about an hour."

I was out the door when I realized I had no clue where Emmett lived. I called Rosalie from my car and asked her if she knew, she told me he lived in the same building Edward did, The Werlin, but she wasn't sure which apartment. I told her it was okay, I could use the directory.

On the walk over there I thought about what happened when Jacob told me about the other woman. At first I was mad beyond belief. Then I was upset he choose her. But the I realized he was being mature about the situation. He was trying to fix what went wrong, he was trying to fix his mistake.

It didn't take me long to get to the building. Although, the fact that I was half running helped.

I walked in and quickly found the directory. Emmett Cullen lived in apartment 1408 on the fourth floor. The whole elevator ride up there I was preparing my speech. I walked up to the door knocked and waited for someone to answer.

When Emmett opened the door he had his mouth full of something.

"Bella!"

"Bella?" I heard someone say from inside the apartment, it sounded like Edward. Great, there would be an audience here for this.

"Is Jasper here?" I asked my annoyance very clear in my voice.

"Yeah come on in." I could see Emmett wondering what I was here for. "He's in the living room."

I stomped into the living room. Edward saw me and he got up a smile on his face, until he saw the expression on mine. "Bella, what's wrong?"

I held up my hand. "Hold on Edward. Jasper?"

Jasper stood up. His face looked like he knew what was fixing to come at him. "Bella?"

I launched at him. Hitting him, but not hard, just enough to let out some of my anger. I felt someone pull me off of him. "You're a selfish coward Jasper Hale! How could you just leave her?! After all the things she has done for you, and you just leave her when she needed you the most!"

"Bella what are you talking about?" Edward asked. I realized then that it was him who was holding me back.

"He left her. Just abandoned her. Tell them Jasper. Tell them how bad Alice needed you, tell them how I had to pick up the pieces because you're to much of a coward."

"Jasper? What is she talking about?" Emmett asked.

"This morning Alice told me she was pregnant. I was shocked to say the least. I left without saying goodbye or anything. I just needed time to think, so I came over here." Jasper said to the floor.

"She told you she was pregnant and you left?" Emmett asked. Jasper nodded. "Edward release Bella so she can resume kicking his ass!"

Despite what Emmett told Edward, he didn't let me go. But that was okay, because all my rage was let out. Now I had to get him back to my apartment, so he could talk to Alice.

"Edward you can let me go. I'm done."

Edward looked down at me, raising his eyebrows, but he released me. I walked towards the door and looked back. "Are you coming Jasper? You have a girlfriend that is at home waiting for you."

The walk back to my apartment was a quiet. I knew Jasper needed someone to talk to, but how was I supposed to approach the subject? In the back of Jasper's mind he was so happy for this baby, I know it, but I think he's letting his fears drive when he needs to be.

"I'm not ready." He whispered. "I thought I would be old and wrinkly when I had children. Not when I was only 26."

I looked over at him. His face was tired. You could see in his eyes that he was only there in body, not I mind. In his mind he was worrying and stressing over what the future holds.

"Jasper no one is ever ready for a baby. They may plan for one, but they're not ready for it. You're excited for this baby I know you are. You're just scared of the future. But hell, isn't every parent? You can't let Alice do this alone. Imagine how she feels. She told the man she loves she was pregnant, and he left. She can't handle this alone." I was trying to ease his fears. To show him that it was normal to be worrying like this. "You can ask your dad, he was probably frightened out of his mind when he heard about Rosalie and you. But he stayed with your mom, because he loves her. Just like you love Alice."

We were at my apartment now, just sitting in the car. I waited for him to say something. But all of the sudden he just opened the car door and ran towards my building.

I barely heard him say, "Thank you so much, Bells!" Before he took off into the elevator. I smiled to myself, and got out of the car. I walked down to the park down the street passing Edward and Emmett's building. I sat down in the cool grass and laid down. Looking up at the stars.

AN: I got bored, so I posted another chapter. :D
