BPOV: Sorry

After hearing Edward's door close behind him. I made a dash out of my room and down stairs to grab my i-pod. I knew I forgot something when I ran for the stairs so nervous to stay by Edward. Why had he been looking at me? Was he just surprised to see me after such a long time. I made my way down the stairs slowly only stopping to see who was in the living room, Emmett and Jasper were playing Halo 3. I didn't spot Rose, she must be with Alice.

I walked into the kitchen and grabbed my i-pod, I didn't look back. I took the stairs two at a time trying not to fall and break my nose. When I got on the third floor everything was silent. I thought that was good until I was right in front of my door when Edward ran into me, making me lose my balance and fall to the floor on my butt. I looked up to see he was smiling down at me, an amazing crooked smile.

"I'm sorry, Bella. I didn't see you." He reached a hand down to me and pulled me up.

"It's fine. I still tend to fall no matter what." He was still smiling at me, I couldn't help it I blushed. I tried to hide my face but it was no good he already saw it.

"So whats wrong?" He asked me, still smiling. Does he ever stop I thought to myself.

"What do you mean whats wrong?" I asked him back, making a complete fool out of myself probably.

"Well. I simply mean that when I ran into you, you were already in a hurry. But I'm curious what were you in a hurry for...or whom?" His face became serious all of a sudden. Did he know I was running from him, scarred that he would think me a freak because I blushed every time I saw him.

"I wasn't in a hurry." I said trying not to show that I was lying. He started laughing though after I finished. He looked at me still laughing and holding his stomach to try to stop. God he was gorgeous.

"Bella, I've only been gone for four years. We used to be best friends, I'm not stupid. I remember things." I looked at him weird now. What was he getting at.

"What?" I was curious what was he trying to mean. Was it that he knew I liked him. He stopped laughing and looked right at me.

"You. Suck. At. Lying." Then he started laughing again, but harder. What a jerk, a hot jerk. But he was right I do suck at lying.

"Fine, whatever." I turned to open my door when I felt a hand rest on my shoulder and turn me back around.

"Why were you running? You never run, or at least you used to never run. Anywhere." He still hadn't taken his hand off of me, I felt as if I was going to pass out. I had to try my best at lying. If I didn't get into my room, I was surely going to kill myself. I held up my i-pod.

"I ran down to get it. I forgot it, it's like my baby. Then when I got it, I made a dash for it. Alice can pop up around any corner, and I don't know about you but I hate it when she scares me." Wow. I was good. I had a serious face on and everything. It looked like he believed me. Soon the pressure of his hand was off of me and I could breathe again. Ha. How's that for lying.

When I looked at his face, he looked disappointed some how. But I didn't want to say anything about it.

"Sorry, again. I was just on my way downstairs to hang out with the guys. Before, Alice says our hour is up and we have to follow her or die." He didn't laugh. Mostly because he was right. Alice got her way, one way or the other and who ever was in her way...well you know.

"True." Was all I could say before he said goodbye and went for the stairs, I said bye not even making sure he heard me and went into my room. Secretly wishing I could slam my door and scream my lungs out. But I wasn't in the mood to explain to everyone why I went crazy.

Running into Bella was...frightening. She looked beautiful and I totally blew it. I was making her look at me crazy even. How could I tell Bella how I felt about her. I've barely seen her in four years, but when I'm around her I feel like I never left home. I'm falling for her. I ran down stairs to find Jasper and Emmett, I had to tell them. I found them playing Halo 3. I sat down on the right side of Jasper. I waited until Emmett killed Jasper, to speak.

"Hey, guys I have to tell you something and kinda ask for help too." They both looked at me with raised eyebrows. I knew why they did this, it was because I never asked for help. I mean never. Especially from these two geniuses.

"What can we help you with fine sure?" Emmett was being a jerk like always, making Jasper belt out a laugh.

"Emmett. This is serious. It's about Bella." Jasper stopped laughing and looked directly at me with shock, Emmett followed the pattern.

"What about Bella?" Emmett asked, Jasper still speechless. I ignored him and asked Emmett.

"I think I'm falling for her...I know it probably sounds corny to say, but I am." I was shocked when I heard Jasper start to talk.

"No offense, Edward. But you're home one day and you just met Bella like twenty minutes ago." He was right. But it doesn't feel like that. I'm losing my mind.

"What do you think I should do?" I asked Jasper, instead of Emmett. He shrugged at me.

"Wait a couple days and then think about it more. Ask her to go out on a date with you. Just don't jump to conclusions, she might think your a creep trying to get with her. Bella's cool, I've known her longer than you. After high school she mellowed out, didn't care what people thought about her..." I was waiting for Jasper to continue when I realized he was thinking. It was driving me crazy. I was about to ask what he was thinking about, when he got up suddenly from the couch pulling me with him, upstairs. We got to Alice's room and he knocked. What was he doing. Alice opened her door smiling but when she saw Jasper's face she nodded to come in.

She closed the door behind Jasper and I, but had to open it again when Emmett knocked. She let him in and closed the door slowly and locking it. She turned to Jasper quickly.

"What's wrong?" She asked him, sounding scarred at first.

"Did Bella have a crush on Edward in high school?" Alice just blinked at him.

"Yes. Why would you ask something like that though?" She went to sit on her bed, I looked around for Rose and found her silently already sitting on the bed. She was looking between Jasper, Alice and I. Emmett was still by the door, silent just like Rose is.

"Because Edward just came downstairs and was telling us how he thinks he has feeling for Bella. I got into how he should relax and wait a while, I mean they just met up again after such a long time apart. Then I started telling him how after high school she mellowed out, but then I realized she mellowed out when Edward left." I was speechless and for once so was Alice, but not for long.

"Ya, but Bella was always like that. She just became a little more, less Bella when Edward left. When we got to college though she changed, she became the old Bella again. Right Rose?" She looked to Rose who wasn't in shock any more and nodded.

"She's Bella now." Rose agreed and then looked down to her magazine that was in front of her. I saw Alice looking at me.

"She still likes you Edward. I always wanted you guys to be together. But Jasper is right, take it slow." Now it was my turn to go into shock, Alice slow. I thought she didn't even know that word. But she was just protecting her best friend I guess.
