DISCLAIMER: Ido not own twilight. These characters belong to SM.

A/N: Thank you for your beautiful reviews and suggestions. To let you know the reason why Bella didn't break up with Mike is because she is too good. I can't let her be a girl who breaks a 3 year old relationship with her boyfriend who saved her life in high school just because she has developed feelings for someone else now! That will make her look like a flicker minded person. She is loyal and true. And the most important reason is, she doesn't know Edward's feelings for her.

But don't worry; this is Edward/Bella fic. And they'll be together in no time. Next chapter, i.e., chapter 10 is going to be the turning point in the story. Please review!!

Chapter 9

Fight For Love

"Don't forget to keep this Bella" Alice cried in a cheerful voice, swarming with excitement. She held white party wear dress in her hand. The dress was absolutely stunning and definitely cost much more than half of the clothes in my wardrobe.

"Alice when did you buy that? God! It looks so expensive! What will I do taking it to Chicago anyways?" I asked, shocked.

"Stop whining Bella. Remember you said you'll let me decide the clothes you'll take on our vacation?" she said, placing the dress in my already overloaded bag.

I shook my head and sighed. "Alice I agreed on letting you select my clothes and not buy new clothes. Its too expensive Alice, I can't accept it." I stated.

"But you'll need it Bella, you don't expect to dance in jeans do you?" she said in almost a whisper grinning mischievously.

I froze. Dancing was counted in one of my scariest nightmares.

Dance? NO WAY!! I'll make a fool out of myself infront of everyone. I can't even walk steadily on a plain path without tripping.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME ALICE???" I asked in utter shock with wide eyes.

She laughed. "Get ready soon Bella or we'll be late to get to the airport." She said while exiting my room.

Sitting in the hall I wondered over the past few months. I stared at the picture kept on the side table. Bella was looking incredibly breathtaking and her innocence could be sensed even in the picture where she stood cuddling her cat. No matter how much I praised her beauty, it was always less. No matter how hard I tried to hide my feelings for her, I was never successful. I looked at the eyes of the smiling Bella in the photograph. The depth of her intriguing chocolate brown eyes was not concealed even in the picture.

Never in my life did I imagine that a beauty will touch my heart so incalculably that my life would revolve around just one person.

Bella!

It has been almost about five months since I met this girl who seemed to have turned my life upside down and yet the feeling with which my heart soar every time I saw her was a new heart warming experience. I cannot express in words the agony I go through every time I see her delicate structure in arms of that undeserving guy Mike Newton.

My fist automatically clenched as the name crossed my mind.

I can't be sure whether it is a product of jealousy or pure instincts which continuously warn me that Mike isn't good for her. The way he looks at her…I never see the purity of true love in his eyes that Bella deserve. Just a generic teenage boy obsessed with his belonging. It was more like Bella was his prized possession rather than his love.

I could not bring myself to erase the image of the hungry look in his eyes with which he looks at Bella every time he comes here. Bella might overlook these factors due to her innocence and unprecedented purity, but not me. It was intolerable to stand that look in his eyes. The best I can do is to leave the hall immediately as he enters.

But it didn't matter. My feelings made no difference. Because she isn't mine. She doesn't belong to me.

The familiar ache in my heart caused me to clench my teeth.

It was Bella's choice to choose him and so I should respect it. This is the reason why I've been trying my best to keep all my feelings for Bella a secret. Killing my feelings for her was beyond my capabilities, I was pretty sure about that. But if I could just let it from ruining her happy life. If I could just pretend to be indifferent.

"she's looking pretty isn't she" Alice took a place with me staring at the same picture which I've been appreciating for hours.

"I think that's an understatement." I replied.

She let out a sigh. "Edward why don't you just tell her how you feel? She deserves someone better than Mike, you know that plus I could sense that she feels the same way for you. She just doesn't seem to realize-"

"Enough Alice! We've talked about this. She's happy with her life. Stop interfering." I interrupted before she could finish.

She has talked about this a countless number of times now. Even Emmett and Jasper have been quite concerned for me from the past few months. Apparently I was able to hide my pain from them but the life I use to have on my face was lost. It was as if I was made up of stone. Feeling nothing and showing no emotions at all. That was true. Because I was dead inside. The only girl I ever gave my heart to, didn't want it. As if it wasn't good enough for her. Because someone else's heart was more enthralling to her…

I winced in pain.

I became aware of the clumsy footsteps coming down the hall. I stood up. It was Bella looking spectacular as always. Her simplicity, her shyness, her uniqueness was tremendously alluring.

She came down and I made my way to the door to open it for her. We were suppose to meet Jasper, Emmett and the rest at the airport.

It was a short ride to the airport. Mike Newton was already waiting for us there. Emmett, Jasper and Rosalie were still to arrive.

As per habit I stood as far as I can from Newton. Jessica came and stood beside me. To be honest, she was getting on my nerves. I've even lost the count of how many times I've made it clear to her as gently as possible that I'm not interested in her. But she never gives up.

Finally Emmett, Rosalie and Jasper arrived. When they came a little closer, I noticed Mike's eyes going wide. He was literally gawking at Rosalie. It was sickening!! Rosalie was good looking but he had Bella, the angel, the most beautiful and precious thing in this world. How DARE he do that to her!!! Staring at some other women with Bella in his hand was practically an insult which I couldn't stand. I could see that Bella noticed too and became uncomfortable. Pain and regret was vivid in her eyes. She gently got out of his grasp and looked back at Rosalie with remorseful eyes. I wanted to kick Mike's ass. How undeserving he was. He didn't deserve Bella at ALL!!!

That was when I made up my mind. I wasn't going to let her be with this worthless piece of junk. No! Bella deserves better. I knew that I wasn't deserving enough myself to have this priceless, beautiful, pure angel but I would definitely prove to be better than him!!! I'll do anything and everything to keep her happy. I'll place all possible joy and happiness in this world at her feet. I'll love her more than life itself. I'll willingly give my life if that's what she wants.

I was going to fight for her. I'll fight to win Bella's affection. I'll snatch her away from the arm's of this undeserving Mike. I won't let him take her away from me.

I'm going to prove you how much I love you Bella!

PS: I'm working on another story and would like to know what you think of it. Please read the following summary and tell me what you think of it. If I get nice reviews then I'll start working on it more Sincerely as soon as possible, but this doesn't mean I will stop working on my present story.

Suggestions are always welcomed.

SUMMARY: Edward is a popular actor and is getting sick of all the attention he's getting. The moment he puts a step outside his house, girls grab his shirt pull his hair and beg him to touch them. After doing a recent movie on a Vampire love story, girls went crazy after him. He was tired and pleads to have a normal life and most of all he desires to have a true friend. A friend who won't be around him just for his fame and money like his present friends.

One day, as if his wish was heard, he encountered a girl(Bella Swan). To his surprise the girl was not interested in him. She didn't throw herself at him like other crazy girls. She was soft, sweet, polite, shy and quiet. She simply ignored him and went to her own way. Edward was intrigued by this girl a lot. He started a quest of winning her as his friend. First she avoided him but in a matter of time they become best friends. He shared every little feeling, every pain and every happy moment with her. She selflessly helped him in every situation. She was an angel who changed his life.

But what happens when she starts developing feelings for him and Edward is completely oblivious to this fact. He thinks he is in love with his co-star(Jessica Stanley). Will he ever realize his true feelings for her? Will it be too late before he did?
