We pulled into the ihop and looked around. It was packed here. There was a lot of people but not to bad. I was still recovering from my trauma with Edwards smile, while he sat and stared at me. He just looked at me. No one moved or got out of the car. I felt the blood rush to my cheeks. I looked down instantly. I sort of looked out of my left eye and saw that he was looking straight out the front windshield and smiling. I didn't think my face could hotter. Then it did.

"Well I guess we should get out now." Edward said.

I began to unbuckle my seat belt when my door opened. It was Edward. He was holding my door open for me. Wow. I had to look down again. Here we go again.

When we got inside we were seated instantly. The waiter was all over Edward. I wanted to throw up in my mouth. Actually I think I did. She was prettier then me though. So it doesn't matter. I sound so insecure with myself. I need to stop.

"What do you want Isabella?"

"Edward, you're the only one who calls me Isabella, I like it."

Edward just smiled and went ahead and ordered for me. I am getting eggs and toast. Cliché.

"So.. Bella do you mind if you tell me more about Jacob. I know there was more. I could see it all over your face." Edward looked at me with hope in his eyes.

"Edward, he was just a child hood friend. That really is all."

"Bella," Edward said in a louder tone then usually. "I see the pain in your eyes. There's more. Look if you tell me yours, I will you mine."

I pondered on if I should or not. I have only talked to this guy once. But whatever I guess. I guess I might as well tell him. Since I am curiouse about what he is going to tell me.

"Jacob Black was my best friend when I was little. He was also my first kiss. I was forced to move and Jacob was very angry with me and I think he never got over it. So I think he I still mad now."

I decided to leave out the assaults part. Edward doesn't need to know everything. Edward just nodded and he knew there was more but didn't ask.

"Okay, well you know how jasper is my best friend? Well his girlfriend Alice. You know her. Well I guess you do since she is your best friend and all, well me and her have quite a past. I did live here once. When I was 15 I lived here for about six months. Alice and I were each others first. As in.. I lost my virginity to her. She was in love with me, but to tell you the truth I didn't even like her that much. I found her to outgoing for me. But we have buried the hatchet and are okay now. We always hang out. Just like brother and sister."

I didn't even say one word. I just sat there. Some emotion was filling up inside me that I couldn't really pin point it. I just felt like I should be mad at Alice, I mean I don't know why. But I just feel like I should. Jealousy. That's what it is. I am jealous of Alice. My best friend. Or one of them. I still didn't talk. I just didn't have anything to say to that. Jacob and I had nothing on Alice and Edward. I bet there was more to his story to. I'm just not as good at reading people like Edward is.

The waiter finally came out and gave me my food. It was still raining outside. Well I guess it should be since were in forks. I still can't believe I'm with Edward eating breakfast at ihop. My mind is screaming right now with so many thoughts. Like about my dream last night. Edward had punched James for me.

"So do you know my brother Emmett?" I asked.

"Emmett is your brother? Oh my gosh!" Edward said surprised.

I take it they know each other. Why didn't I ever ask Em about Edward? Damn.

"Emmett and I went to school together when I was 15 and dating Alice."

So Em knew about this little fling. Hmm interesting.

"Him and I used to always get suspended together. Always pulling pranks and stuff on the teachers. But my mom started getting really mad at me, so she made me stop hanging out with Em. Then I moved so it was cool."

Wow, I am always out of the damn loop.

"Continue." I said in an annoyed voice.

"Continue what? That really is the end. Emmett and really don't talk anymore since we drifted."

"Okay."

I'm so pist right now. Alice could have at least said oh yeah Bella I used to be in love with Edward but now it's cool. That information could have been nice to know. I picked up my fork and began eating my food so it didn't get cold. At least if I had food in my mouth Edward wouldn't know what I really thought about Alice and him. I really should stop. The past is the past and we can't change it. Edward dated Alice, okay that's not that big of a deal. I mean I don't even know Edward! He is just baby sitting me since apparently I can't take care of myself. He will be gone and can go on living my life. Edward was also eating his food. But at a slower pace then I was. I looked down at my plate forcing myself not to meet those green smoldering eyes.

We sat in silence for about another forty-five minutes then Edward finally spoke.

"So, are you ready to leave?"

I just nodded my head and got up. I put my hood on just because I knew it would piss Edward off, and because of the rain of course. Edward paid then we walked out the doors. He put his hand on the small of my back and instantly hit it away. Edward looked taken back and rejection crossed his feature, while my mind was flashing with images of James kicking me in the back. I grimaced.

"I'm sorry Edward, I just I- I just can't. I don't like guys touching me. Well I don't mind guys touching me just without warning kind of freaked me out. Sorry."

"Okay.. Tell me the story. Damn Bella you really are incredibly easy to read." Edward said.

"There is no story.."

Edward knew there was of course but being the gentleman he was he just left it at that.

The car ride home was tense. We both just commented on the weather and that's all. He did ask me to take my head off but I didn't. We pulled up to the house and it was quiet. I got out of the car before Edward could go hold the door open for me. I slugged up the stairs and slipped. Of course I slipped. What's new. Edward was quickly by my side. He looked at me with questioning eyes. Obviously asking if he could help me up.

"Well yeah!" I said while shaking my head.

Edward quickly put his arms around my arms and helped me up. When he pulled me up our chest touched. We were close. I could smell his breath under my nose. He didn't move and neither did I. He looked deep into my eyes and I felt my heart flutter. My breathing increased and I felt like everything was moving in slow motion. Then I sneezed. Right on Edwards chest. Man! Fuck my life. Edward started laughing while I stood there in disbelief. I started blushing. I backed away and ran inside the house. I looked back and Edward was standing there smiling at me. I walked to the kitchen table and took of my hoodie and draped it over the chair. Edward came walking into the door and was soaked. I wasn't that wet because of my hoodie but he was drenched. He had on a white shirt so I could see through it. All the perfect muscles that had all the right shapes. They weren't to big or to small. His placement of his whole torso was just amazing. I had to quit gawking so my eyes quickly dropped to my shoes. I heard Edward laugh. Why am I acting like I'm in love with this when I am completely not. I don't even know him. I don't understand why he is making me have all the emotions. He is just a guy. I'm not going to get involved anyways. It could upset Alice. Speaking of Alice, I miss everyone. I really do.

"What do you want to do, besides sitting here with our teenage hormones going wild."

I had to laugh at that.

"Do you want to play Xbox? It's really the only thing to do."

"Yeah but I don't want to embarrass you." Edward said.

My jaw dropped in shock. Edward thinks he can beat me. Did he forgot who my brother is.

"Your on." I said in a voice of determination.

We walked to the living room and sat down on the couch. I grabbed the controller off the cherry wooded coffee table. While pushing the start button I felt Edwards eye penetrating me. I wasn't going to even try and meet his gaze. I got nervous and began fumbling with my hair. Twirling it around my fingers and what not. My hair nearly reached my knees. Well when I was sitting down and leaning it did. Not when I'm standing up. That'd be weird. I kind of giggles at the thought of my hair that long then remember I was with someone. He probably thinks I'm crazy now. Oh well I guess. I don't have anything to lose with Edward. I remembered his comment earlier about me being gorgeous it kind of struck me as odd. I mean there was Angela then there was me. I just don't get it. Edward then coughed. It was a cough to get my attention and I realized I had been sitting there doing nothing. I picked my controller and started the game.

We played until midnight. Edward got killed. I beat him in Xbox and I was glad. That was for all those emotions he was making me feel. I looked at him and laughed when we were done and I had turned it off. He started laughing to.

"Guess you weren't as bad as I thought" Edward scoffed.

"Guess not." I punched him in the arm and started giggling then my giggle turned into a smile.

"I guess we should be getting to bed."

Edward just shook his head and got up. I stayed on the couch for a little bit and just thought. Thought about how everyone just left me and Edward and how ironic it was and about Jacob and Edward. I guess I fell asleep while thinking because when I woke up my face was against a very muscular chest. Edward was caring me up the stairs. I couldn't really see anything and I don't think Edward knew I was awake because of what he said.

"If she only knew." He whispered out to nothing. I put my face farther into his chest and held on tight. For some reason I didn't want Edward to let me go. I didn't want him to put me down. I just wanted to stay cradled here against his chest. I heard him open my door and when he got to my bed and I felt myself being brought down I quickly held on tight.

"Don't leave.."I slurred.

Edward didn't say anything I didn't see his facial expression. All I felt was his chest against me so I knew he didn't leave. I didn't know if he wanted to stay or just didn't want me sad all I know is that he did stay. I put my face into his chest and nuzzled it as far as it would go. I was half asleep and not really aware of what was happening. But I was aware of one thing, Edwards hand had found its way to my waist. I felt him put him arm there and pull me a little closer. I soon drifted off. No thoughts about Jacob, no thoughts about James, just Edward.
