A/N: I loved the 4 reviews I got and I am so happy you all seemed to like the story! Here we go!

Princess Isabella's POV

I stared after Jake as he slammed the door in my face. Had he gone insane? I hadn't said anything mean had I? No, I hadn't! But even though I knew I really hadn't done anything wrong, I still felt guilty. I tried to ignore the feeling as I left the little room trying to find Edward, but the feeling stayed, even after Edward found me himself.

"Are you okay? I saw Jake a couple minutes ago. He looked really mad. No, not mad- Furious!" I stopped in front if Edward, but kept walking once he mentioned Jake. "Bella? What happened?" he was trying to catch up to me (since I was walking so fast out of anger).

"Jake and I had a fight." he opened to mouth, probably to ask what about. I saved him the trouble. "Come with me..." I said exasperated now. Twice I have had to talk to two different people in private. I wasn't even enjoying the ball!

I led him outside on a balcony being I was in serious need of some fresh air. "Okay." I said once I took a few deep breaths. "Jake's mad because I brought you to the ball." I was hoping I wouldn't have to go into details.

"So? What does he have against me? I haven't even met him before." he sounded confused, not angry or anything. But he didn't get the whole story. "Why would he hate me so much?"

I sighed before answering. "Jake wanted it to be...just the two of us tonight, I guess. And when he saw you, he got jealous". I hated explaining this! It was so embaressing!

"Oh." Edward said understanding now. "He likes you." I nodded.

"And now I feel gulity and I need to go apologize." I said. "And I thought this ball would be fun. I thought with you here, I'd have a better time. I thought I could spend a ball with someone else for a change. I thought-" Tears were falling now. I wasn't crying just yet. But Edward could sense my distress and immediatly pulled me in his arms. I stayed for a while, probably half an hour or so. But I decided that I should go apologize before Jake got to angry at me...

I told Edward I had to go, but he stopped me.

"Wait," he held my arm gently. "I have to say goodbye." and he kissed me, right there in the open. It was probably the best kiss we ever shared, but also the most dangerous; everyone could see us right there on the balcony. I would yell at him later, but until then, I kissed him right back...

Prince Jake's POV (FLASH BACK)

After I stormed out of the room and away from Bella's lecture, I was able to think a little clearer. First. I thought maybe it wasn't me. Maybe she was just incappable of loving anyone. So, maybe I couldn't have her, but that meant no one could have her either.(okay, maybe that's a bit extreme).

Or maybe I was over-reacting. I mean, it wasn't like she was dating that knight, and although I hated to admit it, I was just jealous. There was no proof that they were anything other than friends, so really I had not reason to be jealous. I guess I was being a jerk.

I went to go find Bella to apologize; I wanted to make things okay between us. She was right when she said we shouldn't risk our friendship over this fight. And this might have been the last time I would see her for a while. I couldn't find though. I looked all over the ballroom before I thought maybe she was still in the room. I decided to go on the balcony to get my head straight and for some fresh air. It calmed me for a while, until I heard people coming...

Out of habit I hid behind some bushes on the far end of balcony. I'd just sneak out while they weren't looking. I was expecting a lord and lady or something, but Bella came out. Was she alone? If she was, I could probably apologize. But she brought that knight. I kept reminding myself there was reason to suspect they were together, or more than just friends. I don't know why I stayed and watched them but I did.

And regreted it afterwards.

She was just talking to him; nothing strange or interesting. I couldn't hear what she was telling him, but I fantasized she was telling him to leave her alone for a while so she could spend time with me. But I was wrong.

She was about to leave after a while, but he grabbed her. Not hard, but I still wanted to tell him to let her go. I thought she'd fight him, but she hung her head and it looked like she was crying. I hoped he hadn't hurt her, because if he did...

But he did the opposite. The knight took her in his arms and held her. He held her the way I had wanted to be able to hold her if she had loved me too...

I was already getting angry. Now I had proof they were together. But that was against the law! A commoner (knight or not) could not be with a Princess that way! He had no right! I would tell her parents immediatly. But I knew it wasn't just because of the law, but because of my jealousy! He loved her and he was holding her...

I thought I had enough, but I watched longer. And then... they kissed.

He kissed her and she kissed him back, I could tell. Proof that Bella could love anyone she wanted at anytime...

She just didn't love me.
