Bella POV

The sun woke me up streaming though my dorm window; I sat up, rubbing my eyes. I looked around the room and realised I was still in Alice's room. I collapsed back onto the bed and covered my eyes with my arm; I swear I had too much to drink last night. I vaguely started to remember the events that took place.

Club.

Dancing.

Drinking.

Truth or Dare.

Edward.

Kissing.

Blood.

Tequila.

Love.

Crying.

Alice.

Rosalie.

Black-out.

Oh my fucking God! Edward. Edward said he loved me. Did that really happen? I need coffee. Pronto. I looked at the pink alarm clock on the bedside table. 7:08 am. I tip toed out to the living room, on my way seeing Jasper and Emmett passed out on the lounge, spooning. So gay. They must have come back after I fell asleep. I pulled out my cell and took a photo. Hey? I need evidence of their ever-growing love affair. This will come in handy for future blackmail.

I decided to jog to the café west of campus. I went back to Alice's room and borrowed a tank top and shorts. She won't mind. I pulled on my runners and jogged out the building. The chill of the crisp morning air hit me like a truck, but it felt so good. I pulled the chilly air into my lungs and breathed out slowly, I started running down the path. Almost there, I started to actually look at the scenery. The trees with dew on the leaves and the grass white with ice made by the frosty night. Dartmouth was actually beautiful in the morning. I slowed my pace to a brisk walk as I approached the café. Pulling the door open I could smell the caffeine, it woke me up a whole lot more.

Edward POV

I was awake way before I wanted to be. I was lying in bed, contemplating whether to start the day with a coffee or try to force myself to fall asleep again. While arguing internally my thoughts took a turn to last night. I couldn't get Bella out of every thought. I decided it was time to get up and try to distract myself with breakfast. I walked into the kitchen to get the cereal. I walked through the lounge room and saw the hole in the wall from the chair. My shoulders slumped and I sighed as I hung my head.

"You dick." I whispered to myself. I composed myself after a moment of self loathing and stared out the window. I recognised the jogger below immediately. Bella. I walked to the window and leaned my head against the glass. I watched her retreating figure and I knew exactly where she was going. The little café west of campus. I needed to be where she was. I needed to apologise. I needed to be in her presence. I needed her. I put on my sneakers and ran out of my building. I needed to catch up to her.

Bella POV

I walked up to the counter when a young guy served me. He was very tanned, muscely with short hair. He was quite tasty to look at.

"Half-strength cappuccino, please." I said.

"Certainly." He smiled. "Excuse me for asking, but you're not Emmett's sister are you?" I nodded.

"I'm Jacob. We're on the same football team." He offered his hand over the register. I shook it. Very warm.

"Bella." I said.

The bell sounded at the door signalling someone had just walked in I turned my head toward the door and saw the last person I wanted to talk to. Edward Cullen. His eyes popped out of his head and anger took over his features. I looked back at my hand, realising I was still holding Jacob's. I let go quickly. I looked at the ground; I could feel myself blushing.

"What's up?" questioned Jacob.

"Oh, nothing, just some one I didn't really wanna see right now" I informed him.

"Fair enough, I'll go make your cappuccino" he said while grinning a childlike smirk. He was a very handsome boy. But that was it he was more close to boyish than manly. He couldn't be anything over 17.

After a few seconds of thinking this I knew I had to eventually turn around and face the music. I had to talk to him. Hmph. As I turned he was already standing behind me, startled by his closeness I jumped back and fell over a bar stool. Myself and the bar stool both fell toward the ground, but just before I had actually hit the floor Edward had me in his arms.

"Thanks" I said, feeling the blood rush to my cheeks, burning. How embarrassing.

"You're lucky I'm around when you have these sudden dizzy spells, or maybe, am I the one causing them?" He said with self-assurance.

"I'm not talking to you at the moment" I informed him honestly.

"Doesn't look that way" He smiled that crooked smile that made me weak.

Ugh he is so frustrating. I frowned and turned so that my back was facing him. Fine if he wanted to play childish games; he didn't know what he was up against.

"Look Bella, I'm sorry about last night" He sounded genuine.

I wasn't giving in that easily.

"Oh really, what for, blaming me for coming here and 'ruining' your 'reputation' or for throwing a chair at me!" Ha take that mofucker.

"I did not throw a chair at you!" He almost yelled it.

"But you did throw one, and it was in the same vicinity as me" I said smugly.

"Bella I wouldn't hurt you, ever, I was just angry, if anything you hurt me, I'll tell you now you have a good swing on you, I wouldn't wanna meet up with you in a dark ally"

Grrr, he was so… GAY! We hadn't noticed but as Edward was being his stupid Cullen self Jacob was waiting patiently to hand me my beverage. I looked at him apologetically and he handed me my drink.

"Have a good day Bella. Nice meeting you. Catch up soon yeah?" He asked, hopeful.

"I'll call you later Jake" I said hoping he wouldn't take me too literally.

"But Bella you don-" I glared at him as if to say 'shut up bitch, I will kill you'. He caught on quick enough and played along.

"Oh, yeah. Talk to ya then Bells." He winked at me. Nice touch there Jacob; Edward was staring at Jacob through narrowed eyes and his lips were set in a hard line. I looked at his hands which were balled into fists and shaking. Ha. Suck on that motherfucker.

"Bella I -" I held up my hand and cut him off. I had to get out of there before he drowned me in his gorgeous emerald eyes.

"I don't want to hear it Edward" I said as cold heartedly as I could and stormed out of the café. I felt guilty as soon as I was out the door for being such a bitch but I couldn't let him win. I couldn't let myself become a slave to his dazzling ways.

I was in my dorm before I knew what was happening. I walked through the door and slammed it with a little more force than I intended. Jasper sat upright like someone kicked him where it hurts.

"What the fuck!?" He yelled and looked around dazed.

"Sorry, Jaz." I said as I walked past him and placed my coffee on the bench. I sighed aggravated.

"What's up Bells?" Jasper asked walking into the kitchen.

"Nothing, Jasper." I replied a little too bitchy. "I don't feel like talking about it right now." I could feel the lump in my throat and the angry tears spilling down my cheeks; I started sobbing pathetically and Jasper hugged me. I left tear stains on his shirt.

"Sorry, Jasper." I said while wiping my eyes. "I'm not usually like this."

Jasper just hugged me tighter like a brother does.

"S'okay Bells." He answered as he rested his cheek on my head. "I'm used to this kind of shit." I smiled into his chest at his way with words.

"Thanks, Jaz." I said, hugging him back. "But I'm just being stupid."

He chuckled and still hugged me like I was his little sister.

I heard the door being opened and a gasp. My head shot up and I immediately pulled away from Jasper, Edward was standing at the door; his mouth hanging to his knees. His face twisted into what I can describe as rage- maybe even beyond that.

"What the fuck Jasper!?" He yelled. "I thought we were like fucking brothers! But I guess I was wrong. And what about Alice huh? She's my fucking sister, Jasper! I don't care that you have my whole world in your arms right now but hurting my sister!? You are beyond pathetic!"

Edward was walking toward us and I felt Jasper tense next to me.

"Edward, its not like that." I said to him, he turned toward me and sneered.

"Don't you fucking start, you slut!" I was shocked. Beyond shocked, I was fucking enraged.

"He was only picking up the pieces that you left, you arrogant prick!" I stormed toward him, my whole frame shaking.

"What pieces Bella?" He yelled back. "More like you left me in fucking pieces back at that stupid café with the smartass bastard behind the counter smiling at me while I stood there torn and broken, Bella." He was still yelling at me.

"Hey, bro." Jasper stood between us. Gah, Jasper you fuckface. Do you not see your making this matter worse. "Don't yell at her."

"Fuck you Jasper!" Edward pushed him as he said it, causing Jasper to fall back into me. I fell and slammed my head against the counter.

"Fuck off, Edward." I saw Jasper push Edward back. I felt the familiar oozing blood dripping onto the floor. I ran my hand through my mattered hair. Yep, and I'm bleeding; I lurched to my feet and leant against the counter.

"Bella!" Edward cried. "Jasper, I hope you're fucking happy. The girl is bleeding!"

"Me!?" "Jasper!" Jasper and I said synchronised. That left me so fucking confused.

"This is your fault, Cullen!" Jasper yelled and launched himself toward Edward. I heard the sickening crack of someone's –Edward's I presume- nose being broken.

I walked toward them with unsteady feet; attempting to put myself between them.

"Edward." I said when I successfully broke them apart. He was breathing heavily as he looked down at me. I stood on my tip toes and kissed him hard on the lips which took him off guard. He pushed me away so hard that I staggered back and fell on my ass.

"What the fuck Bella!" He yelled at me and turned toward the door. Emmett stood at the door, his arms folded across his chest and stared daggers at Edward. Where the fuck did he come from?

"Outside, Cullen." Emmett said, trying to keep his voice levelled. "So help me God that I don't strangle you in front of my baby sister." Edward looked at me and I gave him the finger.

"Fuck you Edward Cullen." I yelled as he followed Emmett out the dorm.
