I woke up to a surprisingly bright light and a killer headache. I looked around and took in my surroundings, wondering why I felt like I had a hangover when I never even consumed alcohol. I was currently in my dorm, sleeping in my small twin sized bed. I didn't remember too much of last night, although I vaguely remember Edward holding me tightly to his scuplted chest after saving me from someone. At that, I blushed.

"Bella, why are you blushing?" Alice popped out of nowhere.

"Ahh! Damn, Alice, where did you come from? I swear, you're like a vampire with the way you move." I was breathing a little heavily from her little pop-up out of thin air.

"Is that a compliment? Whatever, I've been next to you for the past 10 minutes. You were talking in your sleep just like you used to! You're quite funny, you know. Back on topic! You still didn't answer my question as to why you're blushing, but I'm guessing it has something to do with a certain bronze-haired brother of mine, if I would have to guess." Man, I thought she would forget about me blushing. Well it's Alice.

"What was I saying this time?" I asked, horrifed at what I said in my sleep. Oh, god, I hope it wasn't something about Edward! He just happend to star in my dreams last night. That reminds me, I probably will have to thank him for saving me from the guy. But how did he find me?

"You were saying something about Edward riding a Wump with humps with you, whatever that means. Then, you started talking about how smelly pickles were being thrown at you. It was hilarious. Oh, there I go going off topic again. Why were you blushing? You still haven't answered, yet. You were awake for about a minute and then turned pink." Ugh, now I remember the dream. It was definitely odd. I'm guessing it was probably triggered from my flashback yesterday.

I quickly hid my face in the palms of my hands and mumbled, "I was just remembering some stuff from last night."

"What kind of stuff?" she asked, something other than curiosity leaking through her tone.

"Edward was carrying me close to him last night," I mumbled even lower.

"What was that, Bella? I couldn't hear you. You're going to have to say it louder." I picked my head up a little to see Alice with a too-innocent smile. She heard me loud and clear, I bet.

"I said I remembered Edward was carrying me close to him last night," I said, slightly louder but with my head still in my palms.

"Sorry, didn't hear that." Alice now had a smirk on her face.

"I SAID I REMEMBERED EDWARD WAS CARRYING ME CLOSE TO HIM LAST NIGHT!" I yelled out. A burst of laughter filled the room, and it wasn't just Alice's.

I looked towards the door to the dorm to see Emmett, Rose, Jasper, and last, but not least, Edward. I just had to modify what I said into this. "Oh, god, kill me now," I said to myself. My headache intensified immensely and I groaned.

Emmett's booming laughter was reverberating through the walls, along with Alice's bell-like laugh, which fit harmoniously with Jasper's deep laughter, and Rosalie's feminine one. Edward was actually a little pink in the cheeks! But he probably couldn't even compete with the tomato red I was most likely sporting. "Wow, Bella, I didn't know you liked Edward so much. Do you like it when Edward hold's you?" Emmett teased. His loud voice caused me to clutch my head in pain. Everyone continued to laugh a little softer after that and Alice handed me water and aspirin, an amused, yet sympathetic smile on her face. I didn't know how she could have both emotions on her face. I took the water and pills from her, glaring at her because of what she made me say. I bet she knew they were there. The traitor. She now wore an apologetic expression, but I could she right through her. I guess was a little grateful towards her for being considerate, though.

After I took the aspirin, I glanced at the clock and my eyes bugged out. It was one in the afternoon.

"Why didn't anyone wake me up? It's one o'clock! (I usually wake up at like 4 pm lol cause I stay up all night) I skipped breakfast and lunch!" I got up, grabbed something to wear, and rushed into the bathroom. I took a hot shower, not nearly as long as I would've liked, using my favorite strawberry shampoo and conditioner and freesia body wash. I wrapped a towel around my body and examined what clothes I grabbed. It was a white sheer zip sweater, a white cami, and blue silk-blend pants that had button-flap pockets (pic on profile). It was an outfit Alice bought for me, no matter how much I didn't want her to, from the previous day. At least it was comfortable. I changed into it, paired it with flip flops, and got out of the bathroom, only to find Edward on my bed and no one else. There must have been a puzzled look on my face, for Edward began to speak.

"They all decided to get you some lunch because they figured you would be hungry. They volunteered me to stay. Well, Alice did. They left before I could object, not that I minded. So, it's just you and me until they come back," he said with a smile playing on his lips. I decided now would be a good opportunity to thank him for saving me yesterday.

"Um, Edward?" I asked.

"Yeah?" he answered back. I sat down on the bed besides him and looked down towards my fiddling hands.

"I, uh, just want to thank you for saving me yesterday. I don't know what would've happened if you didn't show up when you did," I said quietly, looking up at him towards the end.

"I have an idea of what would've happened. I'm glad I came when I did, too. I wish you could've been a little more careful. But anyway, you're welcome. It was my pleasure." He had a crooked smile on his face and I nearly melted. Oh no, it was my pleasure. I thought back to the end of the night where I was encased in his hold. If only the earlier events prior to the party didn't happen. . . Oh well, I probably wouldn't see how much of a man whore he is. Which reminds me. . .

"By the way, I still don't forgive you for what happened earlier on yesterday, just so you know." When I said this, a sad and...pained?...expression overtook his features. I slightly felt bad for taking away his breathtaking smile, but only slightly. We were now done with the subject of the party and onto what happened before the party. Why did he want my forgiveness so badly? Surely this has happened numerous times.

"Bella, please know that it won't happen again, I can swear it to you. I thought about what you said, and you're right. I'm a self-absorbed and egotistical jerk, but I can change. I promise you. Just. . . please forgive me," Edward said this, looking me directly in the eye with the most sincere face ever. But I had to stand my ground.

"I'm sorry, but that's not good enough," I told him, looking elsewhere. "And, by the way, why does it matter so much? Why go through all the trouble just for me? I'm nothing special," I whispered the last part, looking into my lap. It was true, I was nothing special. I was 5'4" with boring dull brown eyes and flat brown hair. See? Nothing special there.

When Bella said she was nothing special, I was ready to object. I thought she was the most amazing person out there. Her big, chocolatey brown eyes and glossy mahogony hair was beautiful. She was much more than special.

"You're right, Bella, you're not special. Special doesn't even begin to describe you. You're amazing, beautiful, extraordinary, unique. Shall I continue?" I was about to say more, but Bella cut me off.

"NO! That won't be necessary. I don't understand how you can say those things, but I'm not going to question it," she told me.

"How can I say those things? Easy, because they're true. How can you doubt that? You're much more than special. You're too stubborn to see it. And you want to know why it matters so much? Why I'm going through all the trouble? It's because I care. I care that you care whether I hurt girls like I do and I do care what they think, I just never cared enough. Of course I heard Alice and Rosalie tell me numerous times that it's wrong, but I guess it's different coming from someone else." All of it was true, except the last part. It doesn't matter if someone else tells me. All that matters is Bella. I just want her forgiveness and, hopefully, friendship. If I'm lucky, maybe more. "But, Bella, you gotta know that I'll change. I'll be different. Can you just forgive me?" I pleaded with her. She sighed and got up.

"Give me some time. Prove yourself and maybe I can. For now, I'm going to look for the others. I'm starving and I want food." She went towards the door and opened it. Out came Emmett, Rose, Alice, and Jasper, all sprawled out onto the floor, no doubt listening to our conversation.

"Uh, hey, guys! We were just about to open the, uh, doors at the same time," Alice tried to explain.

"Yeah, we weren't pressed against the door, listening to your conversation at all!" Emmett said, stupidly. Rose smacked him on the head and Alice had a sheepish smile on her face.

"I tried to tell them that eavesdropping was bad. I didn't listen at all to what you guys were saying, if it helps," Jasper said, his blue eyes shining with earnestness. Bella glared at the other three and stomped out of the room, taking the food with her.

"Sorry, Edward, couldn't help it," Alice said apologetically. I glowered at her and she shrugged her shoulders.

"How long have you been listening?" I asked, still glowering.

"Um..uh..well...since you started describing how amazing Bella was. Good job on the flattery," Rose said. I rolled my eyes at her. I walked away, hoping to take a walk so I could think without anyone to bother me.

"Do you people know what privacy means?" I yelled before I got in the hallway.
