DISCLAIMER: Even if I own many edited Edward Cullen photos, I still do NOT own TWiLiGHT. Pft, I wish!

A/N: This chapter was entitled UNDECIDED, simply because, I can't decide yet whether or not do some Bella x Jasper here since I haven't gotten much comments about the issue. Ha ha. :D And because I love you all so much already, I wanted to update soon as much as I can. So yeah, I'm still waiting for responses.

Please tell me if you want some Bella x Jasper or not. :D I'd be happy to go your way. Whatever makes my readers happy. :-) Majority wins. Special thanks to those who have spoken their minds already. So far, they want some Bella x Jasper. :D

Chapter 6

Undecided

EPOV

Before Jasper could answer my question, I stormed out of their garage to prevent myself from hurting him right there inside his house, in front of Emmett. And I don't know why, but it, pardon my language, fucking bothers me.

Something inside me tells me that I was wrong. Well, I am wrong. I don't have any right to be angry with Jasper, he's my buddy, for Pete's sake! And this is the major bullshit, to be honest, I'm kind of mad at Bella too! I don't have in any right or manner to object how Jasper feels.

And there should be no problem, absolutely no problem, if Bella would choose Jasper. Choose? Where the hell did that came from? Bella's option is only either herself, or Jasper! It's not like I'm another alternative to consider. What the heck is wrong with me? I am not even looking for any competition.

I can't be mad at Bella! There's no reason to. Except for the fact that she's oozing with beauty, she's extraordinarily unbelievable always, she's every guy our age dreams. Every guy would give up anything to stare at her chocolate brown eyes for a minute, the thing I constantly find myself doing whenever we're together. Do I like her like Jasper was talking about?

I stayed roaming around the streets of the town, and I could feel that my brain is overworking and that it should've been exploded to bits by now. I would do anything to shut my mind off for awhile.

And I know exactly the place where I could let out my inner ramblings.

BPOV

This summer is, well, not actually the best summer for me.

It's as if my Edward and I's friendship is slightly changing. Well, of course he's always physically there, but there were times when he would smile at me and it would not reach his eyes. He's not happy.

And things between our little friendship bubble changed too. Edward would barely hang out with any of us whenever Jasper and Emmett is around. Or sometimes he's always grumpy whenever he was forced to be there. He won't even talk to either of them.

I was beginning to think that these changes has something to do with us becoming freshmen in the coming semester. Maybe Edward is tired of all the games and best friends cheesyness we used to share.

He barely visits me during the night in my bedroom too. And when he does, we would only talk less or not at all, and just sleep.

Alice and I still spend the Saturday nights together, though it only took two Saturdays after the class ended because...

The worst part is yet to come.

"Alice, why oh why?"

"Bella, my father misses mo so much and I miss him so much too."

"I understand that, but Alice how long will you be gone?"

She frowned. "I don't know Bella, I can't promise much about the duration, but I promise I will be back, and soon. You won't even notice my absence."

"You know that's impossible Alice", I said. My eyes started forming water.

"Oh Bella, you're the sweetest best friend in the whole universe!" she hugged me, us still laying down on my bed. "I would want us to be friends forever! So I'm coming back, I promise."

"I will miss you! You're like a sister to me!" I sobbed.

"Me too, you are my sister! And it's just a vacation Bella, though maybe longer. If dad goes back to business trips, I would be back here in no time too. So please don't cry anymore, I'm not leaving you."

"Okay."

We fell asleep hugging each other on my bed. And I slept restlessly. And I have a bad feeling, but I don't know exactly about it.

Alice will be leaving 3 days from now and we want to spend as much time together as possible. We shared about out little secrets one time, and I finally admitted her something that I am not expecting, and she does too.

"Bella, I think Jasper sucks" Alice said as she painted my toe.

"What? I thought you like him?"

"Yes, but he has not done anything yet", she sighed.

"Well, we're still kids yet, I think you should wait a little longer until we get to be freshmen at least, so be back in time for school" I told her, wanting her to approve on the last statement.

"But I have a crush on this guy, though I like Jasper more"

"Who's guy?"

"Yorkie"

"Yorkie? Like Eric Yorkie?"

"Yes. He's just... always in charge, and I like guys who are always in charge. Though I know Jasper's better, and Jasper could handle me. But it's just a crush Bella, it'll go away"

"You just have a crush on Eric, and it'll go away. So what your stand about Jasper? Don't you think it'll go away too?" I asked, confused.

"I don't know really Bella. All I know is I could stop looking at any guy given in any time, except for Jasper. I doubt it if I will ever look at anyone anymore when he's in the room" Alice said. She continued painting my toes.

"Alice, I think I have a crush on Edward."

And that made Alice squeal, like her dad bought her an own boutique mall or something.

"Really?! Oh my!! Oh my!! Oh my!! How? What?!" Alice said between her squeals.

"Calm down Alice! It's just a crush, just like you said, it'll go away" I defended.

I explained to how I like Edward being a gentleman, how I like his hair, how his emerald green eyes sparkle, how I am captivated by his smile, how I admire his perfect height and all that. And I just can't get enough of him, we're growing up, and changing fast physically, and everything about him is perfect. Oh my perfect best friend.

.

"Alice, please tell me you'll come back soon" I sobbed.

"Of course! I promise I'll keep in touch while I'm gone. I'll call as soon as you get your own phone."

She hugged me, Edward, Emmett, and Jasper got the longest hug. She climbed inside Dr. Cullen's car and waved goodbye before they went off.

.

So that left me hanging out with either Edward alone, Emmett and Jasper, or myself. Which is fine by me. Except that I miss my pixie best friend-sister terribly.

One morning, I woke up to find a piece of paper in my bed. I opened it and noticed Edward's neat handwriting immediately. I read the note.

Hey Culmsabella! I grimaced at the opening statement. I hate it when he calls me that!

Play on the first beach with me. I won't take no for an answer. Don't worry about your dad, my mom took care of that already, so you don't have anymore excuses. Breakfast at my home at 8 am. Bring your stuff when you go. Don't be late. See you in a few. –Ed

PS: Thanks for leaving the window open for me. It comes handy at times like this. :)

I climbed out of bed enthusiastically simple because, well, Cool! Beach! With Edward!

I emptied my backpack and started filling it with clothes, lotion, sunglasses, and other stuffs that would be useful at the beach, yes, that includes mini pale and shovel, I like playing in the sand.

I put on my black swimsuit, then my black shorts, and topped it with a white printed shirt. I feel getting in the water today.

I brushed my teeth, and my hair, grabbed my backpack, then headed out of the door. Dad is already gone for work, so I don't have anything to worry about anymore.

I feel excited and giddy as I rang the Cullens' door bell. I glanced at my watch and noticed I'm 10 minutes early.

Ugh! Perfect Bella, you are obviously excited!

I was fidgeting and thinking about turning around and running back to my house when the door opened. I am welcomed by the sight of a smug Edward leaning on the doorframe.

"Excited much are we?" he teased. And as expected, the traitor blushed comes creeping in.

Damnit! Perfect! Excuse excuse! Oh yeah!

"I'm just hungry and I want breakfast, Grumpedward! So if you'll excuse me" I said, still irritated.

Whatta lame excuse Bella. Ugh!

"Really? But you blushed Bella!" he said and smug. And I just glared at him.

"Okay, okay, sheesh, I'll let you go this time Clumsabella" he said, still smug.

He moved and motioned his hand for me to walk inside and bowed.

"Welcome to the palace, Princessa Clumsabella, your breakfast awaits" he teased more.

I walked inside and smacked the back of his head playfully when I passed in front of him.

I just got downstairs when the door bell rang.

"Edward, honey, can you get the door for me please?" my mom yelled from the kitchen.

I thought it was dad coming home from work, but I was surprised when I saw a fidgeting Bella on the door.

I teased her about being excited and she made a lame excuse for breakfast, and called me Grumpedward, it's the nickname she gave me when she noticed how coldly I acted towards Jasper and my brother. If I hadn't known her, I probably would believe her. But knowing Bella, well yes, she loves bacons and all, but on a day like this, she wouldn't care more for breakfast. And she blushed! Oh that beautiful cheeks of hers. I just wanted to poke it.

I asked mom last night if we could have a day out to swim on first beach at La Push like we used to be when I was small. She told me to invite Bella. Of course I would invite Bella! I would not come and mope around if she's not with us. She's my best friend, it's normal, right? And she told me that she'll talk to Chief Swan first thing in the morning. Oh yeah, I almost forgot.

It was past midnight and I wrote Bella a note instead of waking her up this time and climbed up on her window to leave her the note that says to meet us in the morning to have a breakfast before going to the beach. I watched her sleep for three minutes or so and left to head back to my own room. If I wanted to last playing all day later, I should get some sleep.

I commented Bella about her blushing and that she's giving me an excuse, but let go of it, for now. I motioned Bella to pass by and bowed like a princess would be walking by. Is that what she is to me? A princess?

"Welcome to the palace, Princessa Clumsabella, your breakfast awaits" I said teasingly. I kept it light, and I want to aggravate her more. She's charming when she's angry, she's like a kitten pointing its claws on you, and you still find it cute.

She answered by hitting the back of my head as she walks by me, and I, being playful in nature, started chasing her. She ran straight towards the kitchen and practically hid behind my mom, knowing my mom would stop me running. So I stopped and gave up. I noticed how tall Bella is becoming. And I realized we're growing up so fast.

We'll be high school in no time, and we'll start dating and falling in love without noticing. And I became afraid, afraid of the future. And I'm not bothered by my own future relationships, but bothered by who Bella will date in time, who'll she falls in love with.

And I am bothered by my used-to-be best friend. Jasper.

A/N: Again! I am begging you guys to respond. What do you think about having some Bella x Jasper for awhile? I can't update soon if you won't tell me what you want.
