I couldn't believe how ballsy I was being. Rose and Alice were practically jumping up and down and chanting cheers about how ballsy I was being. I was having a blast messing with Edward. Sure he had pissed me off after his little rant about Jake being my date before the show, but I couldn't stay mad at the boy. It was impossible when he looked so hot onstage and I missed him so terribly.

I had to admit that maybe I was having some sort of an effect on Edward, but I wasn't quite sure what that meant. He was looking at me with a weird look on his face, which I was assured meant he was turned on, but that didn't reassure me of anything.

Ok, maybe Edward found me attractive tonight in this dress Alice had forced me into, and maybe Rose had done a fantastic job on my makeup making me appear more attractive than I knew I was. This didn't mean Edward had feelings for me. And with this thought, I decided my sexy shenanigans for the night were through. I want Edward to love me, not just want to fuck me. I looked at Jake, who was looking at me with a sympathetic smile.

Rose noticed my change of heart, seeing my face fall as I slunk into a chair at a nearby table that Jake had led me to.

"I can't do this anymore guys. It's just not me, and even if he is finding me attractive acting like this, it doesn't even matter. I want to be with him, not just do him like all his other groupies," I said, letting my face fall into my hands.

"Like that Tanya slut, yeah I understand where you are coming from Bells. But the point was to get Edward to notice you as someone besides just his best friend. He has always been attracted to you as more than that, he is just too pigheaded to see it," Rose said.

"Yeah, remember when we all started going through our growth spurts and the guys' eyes practically bugged out of their heads when they first saw us in our bikinis?" Alice laughed.

I laughed as I remembered this; Edward had seemed to notice my body back then. I just assumed it was him being a teenage boy, looking at whatever was in front of him. What if he was attracted to me then though? Still didn't mean he had feelings for me.

I noticed Jake had stayed silent during our whole conversation, and wondered if he maybe wanted to head out.

"Girls, I think I'm ready to head home if you guys are. I'm still kind of tipsy and would rather not claw Tanya's eyes out if I see her look at him again," I said, about to stand up when Rose pushed me back in my seat.

"I don't think so Bella. They have only played a couple songs; there is no way I'm leaving yet."

"Well, actually I think I am going to head out. You want a ride Bells?" Jake asked.

I sighed, resigning myself to stay until the girls were ready to leave. This probably meant after every other person had left and it was just us six in the club... I wanted to talk to Edward; I missed him so much it hurt. I thought that maybe after the show I may get a chance to do so. I was so not used to not hanging out with him for a week at a time.

"No, thanks Jake, but I really want to try to catch him after the show and see what he has to say. I appreciate you coming tonight, and I think you officially made Edward hate you more than he already did," I said softly.

Jake nodded, pulling me in for a hug goodbye before heading to the door.

I looked up and saw Edward emerge from the bathroom with a hassled look on his face, only to be stopped immediately by Tanya. At first he looked like he was bothered by her, but that quickly changed as I saw him lead her to a table and talk to her animatedly for a few minutes before excusing himself to head back up stage.

I was so jealous of her it was killing me. Rose and Alice pretended that they hadn't seen what had just occurred, allowing me to not talk about it and sulk in peace.

Rose got up at one point to go over and talk to Tanya, which made me kind of pissed, but I got over it because it was her cousin and why shouldn't she talk to her?

The show passed kind of quickly, and soon enough Edward was announcing last shot for those at the bar and they played one last song to wrap up the set. I stayed rooted to my seat at my table, thankfully my girls stayed put as well, as the boys started packing up and the crowd left the club.

After a while, it was only us six and Tanya left in the club. Tanya was up talking to the guys and I was sitting still in my seat trying to hide my irritation to no avail. Suddenly Rose and Alice got up and left me, saying that I should come with them but I refused. I watched as the group all talked and laughed, Tanya seeming to fit right in with the girls and guys alike.

What the hell. Stupid whores. Why were my friends talking with her and leaving me behind. Ok, it was my fault I wasn't up there with them, and I knew if I was there they'd be chatting me up too, I was just being a petty bitch.

I saw Edward laugh at something Tanya and Jasper were discussing, and then saw him look my way. He smiled tentatively at me, which made my heart flutter. Maybe he is ready to make up with me too. He set down a piece of equipment and headed my way, not breaking eye contact with me the entire time.

My stomach was churning with nerves at this point, and the closer he got to me, the more anxious I became.

"Hey Bells, do you mind if I give you a ride home?" he asked softly. He looked nervous as hell, almost scared of my response.

"What about Tanya?" I asked, almost slapping myself at my stupidity. I have word vomit when I am nervous, and of course when he is trying to make up with me I have to say stupid shit like this.

He looked taken aback by my response and his face tightened.

"I mean, yeah I will. Sorry, just wasn't sure if you needed to give your date a ride home or whatever," I mumbled, looking down and refusing to meet his eyes.

He grabbed my chin, lifting my face to look up at him. My heart fluttered at his touch.

"We just hung out tonight Bella, she wasn't really my date. Anyways, she drove herself, that's what I was getting at. Not like you cared anyways if she was my date or whatever. I mean, um. She drove herself," he stuttered, running a hand through his hair.

What the hell, was Edward nervous? Rambling and hair fumbling were two sure signs Edward was nervous, and I started giggling at him. He looked at me and started chuckling softly with me.

"Sorry, I just miss you Bells, and I was worried that you wouldn't want to talk this out with me."

"Of course I will ride home with you Edward, just come get me when you're ready to go, ok?" I gave him a reassuring smile which he returned before heading back on stage to finish packing.

I watched his retreating form, noticing his butt in his jeans and how great it looked. I could feel someone watching me and looked up to see Tanya looking at me curiously. What did that whore want? I wondered. She just looked back and forth between Edward and I, then turned back to her conversation she was having with Rose.

It only took Alice about .05 seconds to make it back to the table to interrogate me about what Edward had just talked to me about, and I hurriedly filled her in. I was in a rush to get out of here now, dying to make up with Edward and just get back to how things were before all this awkwardness as of late.

"Ok, I'll tell Rosalie that you don't need a ride home anymore. Good luck Bells. I really hope you guys can work everything out. And by that I mean, maybe you will finally tell him everything," Alice said, trailing off as she saw my look I shot her.

"Bye Alice thanks again for tonight. It really helped more than you can imagine," I said lightly, hugging her goodbye.

I heard a voice clear behind me and turned around to see Edward there waiting patiently for me. I gave him a shy smile and grabbed his one free hand that wasn't loaded down with equipment and led him to the door.

"Do you want me to grab something?" I asked him, simply for something to say.

"No, I think I got it all. So did you like the show? We played a few new songs, I don't know if you noticed."

His face seemed so unsure of how to talk to me. I wanted this weirdness to end straightway.

"Edward, don't talk to me like I'm some girl you barely know. I can't stand that. Please, can we just act like everything from the past week didn't happen and just talk about it for a bit when we get home and go back to normal? I hate being like this with you, like I can't be my true self. You have always been the one I've turned to when I wanted to just chill and be myself. Now it is all weird and I won't stand for it anymore," I said in a huff.

He looked slightly shocked, but set his equipment on the ground outside of his Volvo and pulled me tightly to his chest in a hug. I sighed in contentment, truly happy for the first time all week because I was right where I knew I belonged; in my best friend's arms. And this is when I realized that my feelings for him, no matter how big a part of me they were, would never be worth ruining this friendship, this closeness I had to him. There was absolutely no way on earth I could tell him I wanted him after this whole ordeal that had occurred. I would just wait patiently for him to realize he wanted me to, if he ever did. I had been waiting for a long time anyways, what was a little more time?

Man, was I so glad to hear her say those words. All I wanted in the world was to hold her close at that moment and just forget everything else. Nothing else really mattered anyways. We simply were miserable without each other, and I wasn't going to let anything come between us anymore.

We drove home in a comfortable silence and I led her up to my room straight away, deciding to get my gear later. Upon arriving to my room, I held the door open and let her enter first. She went straight to the bed and sat down on it, looking at me just like she always did when she came over.

I smiled at this, simply glad that we were falling back into a routine already. I knew we had a lot to discuss though, so I got right too it.

"I'm sorry Bella. I have no right to treat you the way I have the past week. I acted like an immature asshole, and for that I need to apologize," I started. She looked at me with a soft face, and I knew she had already forgiven me.

"It's ok Edward, believe me, I know I am frustrating to get along with sometimes. I keep everything bottled in and I even drive myself nuts with it sometimes. I get why you blew up. I'm sorry, but when I'm ready to discuss things with you, I will. Until then I really hope you can be patient enough to deal with my brooding and moodiness while I hold everything inside," she said, looking down at her hands and smirking slightly.

"Bella, I have to ask you this. You would tell me if something really important was bothering you right. Or something really big happened, like you uh, I don't know, started having feelings for someone right?"

She looked at me with a weird expression on her face that I couldn't quite figure out, her eyes narrowed in suspicion. I was dead right on the notion that she was harboring serious feelings for someone. It killed me that she wouldn't tell me. Was I not important enough to let in on big things happening for her like this? I started to get slightly angry again, but stopped myself immediately. I was NOT going to start the same mistakes all over again.

I think she could see my frustrations again, because she quickly jumped up and pulled me in for a hug.

"Of course Edward, I would tell you before I told anyone else," she said. I looked in her eyes as she looked up at me, and I could tell she was lying about that statement.

"You wouldn't tell Jacob first would you?" I asked. It came out before I even thought it, it seemed. I wanted to punch myself in the stomach and by the looks of it she wanted to do the same.

"Edward," she began with a frustrated sigh. "Please don't start this again. No, I would definitely not tell Jacob anything that I wouldn't tell you first. Unless it had to do with you of course, and it was something that I couldn't tell you."

I looked at her incredulously. Was she trying to drive me insane? "Bella what the fuck can you tell that asshole that you cant tell me?" I asked.

"Nothing, I was just saying for instance," she said.

I decided to let it drop and trust her, not wanting to fight anymore. I hugged her close to me again, kissing the top of her head.

We decided to play a game of Mario Kart for good time's sake, and I actually let her beat me just to get on her good side.

She pinched my in the side, giving me a knowing smile. She knew I had let her win, but wouldn't say it out loud because she didn't want to give up her dare privileges.

"So what's the dare, Ms. Swan?" I asked teasingly.

"Edward, I dare you to never give me the silent treatment ever again. No matter what happens between our friendships. Do you accept?" she asked, smiling at me wickedly.

I grabbed her waist, pulling her down in a lay down position with me and murmured my yes into her hair.

We laid there for a while just looking at each other, enjoying each other's company. I looked in her eyes and felt my stomach tighten slightly at how happy she looked to be near me. I knew I looked like a happy fool too, and shared my crooked grin with her. This earned me a beautiful Bella smile, something I had dearly missed in our short time apart.

I reached over and pushed the hair that was falling slightly in her eyes behind her ear and heard her breath catch. I grinned at her again, pulling her closer to me and just held her. She had her head lying on my chest and I stroked her hair gently. I heard her breathing even out, and knew she had fallen asleep.

A song popped in my head at that moment that I felt clearly was describing how I felt at that moment, and I started humming it softly to myself.

"And in this moment I am happy...happy"

A/N: They made up yay! Hope you enjoyed, please don't forget to review. The song he was humming was "Wish You Were Here" by Incubus.
