Reviews are loved.
The last chapter was written in neo office. Honesty I find Neo office crap. I'm using my mac to write this, and so I don't have microsoft office, which I think is good.
I really want some review!! Please!!
I won't write until I get at least 20 reviews! Please!
Into my world
of darkness and silence,you brought light and music.
When you lit my candle,
I began to see and understand
the taste and texture of love.
For the first time.

Edward's POV
She slammed the door at me. Me, the one and only Edward Cullen. As I arrived home, I found Jasper sitting on the couch waiting for me.
"Your back." Jasper said.
"I thought your spending time with Alice today" I muttered.
"She went shopping with Rose"
"oh"
"You stayed at Bella's right?" he asked
"yea, where's Emmett?" I replied.
"You didn't sleep with her right?" he asked
"Where's Emmett?"
"Don't change the subject, I know you didn't sleep with Bella. She was the first person to reject you and now you have fallen for her.
Third Person's POV
Suddenly Emmett came out of his room. "Would you mind telling me what the hell is really going on here?" Emmett shouted.
Edward hesitated, his gaze sliding to Jasper for help in handing the situation. Before Jasper could speak, Emmett added "Don't bother trying to come up with a lie. I know what's happening. Bella rejected you right?"
Edward's eyes widened "I-"
"Don't bother to deny it" Emmett interrupted. "You must know that, as a friend of Alice, Bella wouldn't go crazy at the sight of you. You probably intended to spend the night with her"
"Um…" Edward hesitated, he glanced at Jasper who grimaced and moved to lean against the pillow.
"But her getting drunk ruined things." Emmett went on. "You probably did go to her house first, but when you got there you decided to not sleep with her…" His voice faded, his expression becoming considering as he finished "and for some reason you didn't sleep with her. Why is that?"
Edward stiffened, and clamped his mouth shut, refusing to answer.
It didn't mattered. Expression brightened with realization, Emmett guessed "Even though she was sleeping and vulnerable, you couldn't actually do her. Could you?"
"Don't be ridiculous," Edward muttered. "She was sleeping"
"That's right! You could have been able to perform the sacred act of passion, but you couldn't!" Sure he was right, Emmett was practically crowing. He shook his head with amazement. "As long as I have known you, you've been a cold, hard, emotionless bastard, but when you found out that Bella didn't subdue to your amazing charms you freaked out!"
"She was with Alice" Edward insisted staunchly, but his mind was taken up with wondering if he really had been a cold, emotionless bastard all these years. He knew he'd been a bit grumpy maybe, but Emmett's description seemed a bit harsh.
"What does being with Alice have to do with anything?" Emmett snorted. "You love her! You love her don't you!"
Shoulders slumping, Edward moved past Jasper to take one of the chairs on either side of the small table by the window. Once settled, he slid his gaze back to his friend to see him grinning widely. Edward scowled, "Why are you smiling like that?"
"I'm happy for you" Emmett said simply.
"Right… well…" Edward shifted uncomfortably.
"And now you need me" he added with delight. "I have a bargaining chip."
Edward stiffened. "What do you mean?"
Emmett grinned, seeming to savor the moment, and then his expression became more serious as he said, "While in San Francisco I found out that Bella suffered horribly while she was dating Jacob Black, and now she has absolutely no interest in finding herself caught in another relationship that might turn out badly." A troubled expression crossed his face as he added, "I'm quite sure that if she even suspects that you reciprocates, she will avoid you so fast your head would spin."
Edward released a heavy sign. Jasper had already told him something similar.
"On the bright side," Emmett went on, sounding more cheerful. "You need me to keep my mouth shut about your feelings to her. And, you need an excuse for staying near her that won't reveal your feelings to her"
"Are you trying to blackmail me?" Edward asked dryly.
"Not blackmail. A bargain," Emmett insisted firmly and pointed out, "You don't have to take it. You could try telling Bella that you think you have fallen in love with her."
Edward accepted the deal with a solemn nod and said, "All right. It's a deal."
"I'm happy for you, Edward" Emmett said sincerely as he slapped him firmly on the back. "I like Bella."
"Thank you" Edward murmured.
"And now that we've made the bargain," he added with a grin as they stepped back from each other. "I can tell you that I would have helped you anyway, even if you hadn't agreed to my bargain."
When Edward raised one eyebrow, Emmett shrugged and added, "You forget I'm not as ruthless as you. I could never stand between you and someone who might help you laugh again." Laughing at his expression, Emmett stepped away and moved around the table to settle in the second chair. "I could also help paint you in a more favorable light, as well as give you reason to stay close to her." He paused and eyed Edward "However the rest is unfortunately up to you."
"Unfortunately?" Edward echoed in a warning growl.
"Well," Emmett grimaced. "I know girls tend to stick to you, but you aren't exactly a Romeo type now, are you? I mean you never needed to woo anyone. Girls just flaunt to you-"
"I do know how to woo a woman," Edward interrupted dryly. When Emmett did not hide his doubt, he scowled and insisted "I do."
"Hmmm," Emmett murmured doubtfully.
"Just because I don't need to try for girls to like me doesn't mean I don't have experience with the opposite sex." Edward said condescendingly.
"You might need a little help is all I'm saying."
Edward frowned as the words began to rase uncertainty in him. It had been a long time since he ever wooed a woman. Nowadays women come to him without him even lifting a finger.
"Don't worry, I'll help you out" Emmett said encouragingly. "And I'll really build you up to Bella. I'm sure it will be fine."
"I'll help too!"
Edward glanced around in surprise as Alice pushed herself away from the frame of the door leading into the rest of the room. She'd obviously been there listening for some time, Edward realized with irritation as he watch her lead Rosalie into the room.
"How long have you two been standing there?" Edward asked with irritation as Alice dropped onto the couch to join Jasper.
"I think we heard mostly everything" Rosalie admitted as she walked towards Emmett. "You have fallen in love with Bella, and you need help with wooing her. I don't think we missed anything."
"No, you didn't," Emmett agreed with amusement. He then silted at Edward and said, "See? We're all on your side. You'll have lots of help wooing Bella."
"God, help me," Edward muttered, scrubbing one hand wearily through his hair.
thats it!!
Review please??
I won't write until I get at least 20 reviews! Please!
Remember
by Christina Rossetti
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
