" Bella," Alice called quietly as she opened my door, letting in the bright light from the hallway. I squinted my eyes and rolled over

" You've got to get yourself out of that room, Bella. It's not healthy." Rose chided

"Yeah, you have been sulking for days now." Alice commented

I groaned and sat up in bed, glaring at them from the darkness.

" And what do you presume I do?"

" I don't know. I know that you have been taking vacation days from work and you haven't even been around to see practice."

With a deep sigh I started speaking " I have ben so confused, alright? I thought that Edward was really into me and then his ex-girlfriend shows up and he completely starts ignoring me. He doesn't call, text or e-mail. What the hell should I do?"

" First, you should get some food in your system, clean up and just try. If he is going to turn the tables and pick that stupid blonde over you then show him on what he is missing out on." Rose explained

I waved them in and they crawled onto my bed. I gave them each a hug and then got up to go to the kitchen. I made us some lunch and then threw myself into the shower. I washed off the grime that I felt on my skin and shaved my legs that had quite alot of hair on them. I washed my face and scrubbed my white teeth.

When I finished I went into my bedroom and made a call to the office. It was early and I wanted to see how many calls I had gotten. My assistant, Tammy, has been taking care of them.

I graduated from UW with a degree in Journalism, I was worked with the manager of the place and typed out most of the news in the newspaper. It was mostly an everyday job but I was obligated to take breaks to work with the cheerleaders.

After I spoke to Tammy I promised her that I would be there in twenty minutes and got dressed. I slipped on a pair of black dress pants, heels and a red top. I grabbed a three quater length black shrug and let it unbuttoned. I walked out of the bedroom after throwing my hair up and Alice greeted me, a scared expression on her face.

"What?"

" We invited the guys over and they insisted that Edward come. I tried to argue with Jasper but he hung up. I'm so sorry."

I groaned " When did you last talk to them?"

She glanced at her cell phone " Fifteen minutes ago."

That would mean they would be here any minute now. I swalled down the lump in my throat.

" It's fine really. I can't be more hurt them I already am. Plus I need to go into the office and get some stuff done, if I let Mr. Carter handle it all then I am bound to get in trouble."

She nodded and I went into the kitchen, grabbing a bottle of water as the door was knocked on. I torn my eyes away from the door as she let them in, greeting them all. Rose walked in the room and walked over to Emmett, giving him a sweet kiss. I capped my bottle and headed towards the door, brushing against Edward on my way out.

" Bella! Where you going?" Rose asked

" I need to get some typing done before my boss kills me. I'll see you and Alice later."

She stared at Emmett as Jasper stared at Alice.

" Or I'll see you tomorrow... Bye, Emmett, Jasper." I said, purposely forgetting to say Edward's name.

As I walked down the hall to the elevator I heard steps behind me.

"I meant to call you." his velvetly voice said.

I turned around and looked at him " Meant? I would think if you atleast liked me then you would. Look, Edward. I wont sit around and do nothing, waiting for you to be done messing with your ex. I am not one to wait for someone to pick me. If I don't come as first thought when it comes to you picking, then I am obviously not the one for you." I said quietly before stepping into the elevator.

I couldn't understand the hurt look on his face. He made it obviously clear that he wanted Tanya, I wouldn't let this tear me apart. He was a guy and I thought that maybe he wasn't the type to play with my heart.

" Gas prices are too typical. Murders, I've got a few links for you that I sent, oh and don't forget the Dallas Cowboys end of season. I presume you all were at the last game, if not then it's on website to see. Got that?" my boss said to everyone.

We all nodded in understanding and they all went into there cubicals. I walked out of the office towards my own.

" Yes, actually she was just in a meeting. Here she is." Tammy said.

I looked at her with a questioning glance.

" Who?" I mouthed.

" Some guy named Edward." she said

" Tell him that I am unavaliable." I told her before walking into my office.

" Yes. Well she is currently unavailable...I understand sir but she is my boss and what she says, goes...sir, I'm sorry but I can't...Goobye." Tammy said, exsasperated as she hung up.

I went to my desk, pulled up my microsoft and started typing away on my laptop, the soothing noise of the tapping music to my ears.

I was working for a few hours until I was too tired and decided to go home. Surprisingly Alice, Rose and the guys were still there. I was dreading seeing Edward but knew that since Rose and Alice are dating his best friends; I would see him.

My craving for coffee was full on so I stopped at a Starbucks to get a Carmel Machiato

When I got into the apartment it was quiet and a movie was playing, it looked to be Knocked Up. I went into the kitchen quietly and dumped out the remains of my water, then threw it out in the garbage can.

" Bella! How was work." I heard Alice beem from the living room.

" Good, had alot to write though. James was really laying it on." I called out.

She giggled " Laying it on or laying on you?"

I gaped at her " Shut up," I said, blushing as I did.

Her and Rose smiled at me " I've seen him, Bella. He is smoking and single. Jump on it while you can."

I glared at her, starting to feel a little uneasy. They both knew that I can't get over someone that fast.

" Whatever...I've got to get to bed. G'night ladies and gents." I told them all as I fled to my bedroom.

When I shut the door I quickly went to my drawers and changed into a silk cami and shorts set. I crawled into bed after brushing my teeth, washing my face and combing my hair. It was an early morning tomorrow and I needed my sleep.

---

For three hours straight they were out there laughing and talking loudly. I laid in my bed, not a wink of sleep and I was starting to get pissed. I had gone out there, telling them to quiet down. They lived by the sentance " if you can beat 'em join 'em ". I had no time for games,

It was now one o'clock and I finally threw the covers off of my body and opened my bedroom door, walking out. I was shocked to see the new addition to there group. Tanya was sitting next to Edward on my couch. The little...

I leaned against the wall, they still hadn't noticed me.

" Look guys, I really don't mind that you are here. But I have to get up early tomorrow and I-"

" Ow, ow. Lookin' sexy in that sleepwear Bella. You should get some of that, Rosie." Emmett said with a whistle.

" Shut up." I mumbled. " Anyways, can you move this little party elsewhere?"

Alice sighed " Loosen up, have some wine. Oh wait! You drank it all a few nights ago." Alice said.

I glared at her and she smiled " I was kidding, Bells. We'll go so you can sleep."

They all stood up and I glanced around. Edward was staring at me, but not me as much as my chest. I crossed my arms and gave Alice a smile.

" Night guys."

Emmett gave me a hug and Jasper kept his distance. Smart kid.

They all shuffled out, Tanya giving me an evil glare before she walked out. I shut the door, hitting her ass in the process. I locked the door and heard a small thump.

" Edward! She hit me in the ass with the freaking door."

I rolled my eyes and padded off to bed. What a bitch...
