A/N: Oh. My. Bedward. What the hell. I haven't updated in SO long. I am so sorry. But you want my stupid excuse? I haven't wanted to write. I've been a little sickish, too tired, and school has been an itching hemorrhoid. Seriously. And I've been in a depression over the fact my favorite show EVER is ending on Monday. What the heck. So, those are my excuses. I am so sorry. And because you guys are so patient, I will be updating this story on Wednesday. I freakin promise.

Disclaimer: You know what? I don't own Twilight. If I did, nobody would buy it. So that is why I don't own it…

Chapter dedicated to: Anyone who watches Kyle XY. You're feeling my pain of it getting canceled.

Special thanks to: All of my amazing reviewers for being so patient for this chapter. Love you guys! (Especially my best friend Annie, I love youuuu!)

ALRIGHT. I'm updating. Every single one of you put the hairbrushes and eyelash curlers down. NOW. Cuz the chapter is starting in…five…four…three…two…

Alice's small, pale hand locked tightly around mine and led me through a long, wooden hallway. She giggled childishly while running, and led me to the end of the hallway, to one single, white-painted door. She knocked on it, and it parted open after a moment. She giggled again and smiled up at me, dropping my hand from hers. She laughed her Alice-laugh and ran away from me, her skirt flowing with her quick movement.

I looked around, confused and scared. Where the heck was I? I looked in front of me, peering inside the room I stood before. The lights were off, and the room was pitch black.

"Hello?" I whispered, stepping once, and then stopping. Statuses

"Come in," the voice of an angel spoke, giving me allowance to enter.

I stepped in and the door shut behind me. I spun in a slow circle, looking for the angel-like figure that spoke before.

"Edward?" I whispered to the darkness of the room. A bell like laugh occurred from my left. I turned once, and a hand was on my forearm. I felt the hand move away from my arm, and the lights flickered no more than a moment after.

"Hello," he smiled at me when the lights were on. I felt my lips lift into a smile, smiling at him.

I looked away and looked around the room we stood in. We were in his room, I realized. Clothes were messily scattered around the room, and the curtains were blocking the images from behind the window. I turned to Edward, and opened my mouth to speak, and then clamped it close quickly.

A tall brunette that resembled Scarlet – maybe it was Scarlet – walked into the bedroom, and pressed her lips firmly to Edward's.

"Hi." The girl turned to me when she pulled away from Edward, and flashed me a wicked grin that sent chills up my spine. She was like the wicked witch or some sort.

"Hi," I mumbled, looking at her eyes. Her eyes were a glowing chocolate color and scared me. They looked like my eyes almost, without the glow, of course. She flipped her hair back and left the room, closing the once closed door, closed again.

Edward turned to me, a grin on his pink lips.

"My apologies, Bella," he said, a laugh caressing his beautiful voice. I shook my head and tears formed in my eyes.

He stepped closer to me and reached his hand out, pressing it to my shoulder. His touch was warm and made my heart speed up like the paws of a cheetah patting against the green jungle floor, but my jungle was Edward's wild green eyes that looked into mine.

"What's wrong?" he questioned softly, stepping closer to me. I masked a wail by pursing my lips and shook once with a sob. He ran his hand down my arm and rung it around my waist. I shuddered again at his touch. "What's wrong?" he asked again, his voice stronger now.

My heart beat slowed, but my breathing quickened.

"I like you and have all along." I wailed and a wracking cry wracked through my chest.

Pain deepened in Edward's eyes and he spoke, "I'm sorry."

And he was gone.

I jumped at the place he once stood and in reality, I jumped, too.

It was a dream.

I wiped the perspiration from my forehead and let my heart rate slow down. I turned on my side and groaned. It was almost seven ten. I groaned again and rolled on my side. I so didn't feel like going to school. How could I ever face Edward with the dream stuck in my head?

I drove to school silently, the radio off, the thoughts in my mind louder than the wind during a thunderstorm. I couldn't really process a single thought that blew threw my mind, I just…thought. The thought of the pretty brunette pressing her lips to Edward's was permanently crushed into my skull. I kept replaying the motions of his body when he shifted slightly away from me when he said he was sorry that he didn't feel the same way about me. Yeah, it was a dream but something in me made me think it was really his feelings. Just great.

School - the place where all comes together and forms drama. Drama – the crap that sucks. And guess why? Edward went out with Scarlet. My stupid, stupid, idiotic dream came true. Well, almost. The girl in my dream wasn't really Scarlet, just a look-a-like. Yep, he dated Scarlet. And not only was I pissed, Alice was, too. Since Alice found out about Jasper having sex with Scarlet, Alice has been…well, Alice. She didn't keep Jasper on a leash, but she did ask him about it, and like the gentleman he is, he didn't lie. She cried and he held her and he swore to her that he really liked her. I knew for a fact he did.

I sat down at the lunch table Alice and Rose sat at, and set my tray down. Alice looked up at me; her eyes set in a glare of rage and then looked back at her target: Edward.

"I can't believe he went out with her." I balled my hands into fists and glared at the back of Scarlet's head.

"That slut," I heard Rose snarl. She stood up, flipped her hair back and flashed Alice and I a wicked evil smile. "I'll be back, dolls." She strutted towards where Scarlet sat with Jessica Stanley and Lauren Mallory. She stood over Scarlet and smiled a sickeningly sweet and began to speak.

I looked at Alice and she had a smile smeared across her lips.

"Happy?" I questioned, picking my fork up and playing with the macaroni and cheese that was on my tray.

Alice nodded and smiled larger.

"Rosie is going to do something great!" she squealed, clapping her hands. I smiled at her and then dropped my head.

"You okay?" she whispered softly.

"I think I need to talk to Edward," I whispered back.

I looked up at her. She nodded. "You do. He really hurt me, Bella. I thought he and I were friends." she paused. "I thought you two were friends."

I nodded. Edward knew our history with Scarlet and he knew Jasper's history with Scarlet. Edward knew all of that and yet, he still went on a date with her.

In biology, I tried not to yell at Edward. I tried not to yell at Edward for stabbing Alice and Jasper in the back, but I failed miserably.

"Edward," I growled at him, taking my seat next to him. He looked at me, confused.

"Yes?" he asked, hesitance in his tone.

"How could you go out with that…whore, Scarlet?" I spat, grabbing the bottom of my chair to stop me from jumping him and tearing his beautiful bronze hair from his skull.

He shrugged. "I was in town, at the post office, dropping something off for my mother and Scarlet was there, too. I decided to ask her out."

I laughed humorlessly at his lame story and glared at him.

He sighed. "Bella, I'm sorry."

I laughed again. "Why are you sorry to me? You should be sorry to your best friend Jasper and my best friend Alice. You know their history with her." I made my voice softer now, and he looked at me sadly and apologetic.

"I didn't realize it would affect them that much."

I sighed dramatically and rolled my eyes. "Scarlet had sex with Jasper, Edward. You're the one who told me that. Scarlet got back at Jasper, and Jessica used Scarlet to get back at you for breaking up with her, by getting back at your best friend! And you do that to Jasper and Alice. You really hurt her, Edward."

He nodded and his eyes went deep into sadness. I could tell he felt bad about it, but he should! He should very well feel sad. But underneath all of my anger, I couldn't take looking at his sad eyes.

"I'm very sorry, Bella. I'm very sorry to you, Jasper and Alice, and Emmett and Rose."

I raised an eyebrow. "Why to Rose and Emmett?"
He shrugged. "I'm assuming they've had to deal with Jasper and Alice."

I smiled slightly. "If you talk to Jasper, I'll talk to Alice. She'll be okay after a long shopping trip."

He smiled at me, thoughtful. "I am sorry, though. And I promise I'm not with her." he smiled. "And to make it up to you five, how about you come to my New Year's Party? It's at a hotel in Seattle."

I nodded in agreement. It would be fun as long as he didn't have a date.

"Sure."

He smiled and looked down at the assignment we were supposed to be working on.

"Shall we get to work?" he asked, sliding the paper between us.

I nodded and sighed.

Rose and Alice came over after school, and I explained to them what Edward told me and they weren't upset anymore, but Alice was excited for the party. She clapped and bounced when I told her about it and forgot all about Scarlet. She called Jasper and he laughed and said he already knew. They talked for an hour after that while Rose and I talked about her and Emmett. She and Emmett have been really close since he asked her out, and I was ecstatic for her, but I couldn't help but think I was always going to be alone.

"So what did you even do to Jessica and Scarlet?" I asked, popping a grape into my mouth.

She laughed and swallowed back a piece of chocolate.

"I kinda told Scarlet that she needs to use a different type of shaving cream for her legs, and I kinda told Jessica that she needs to buy some acne cream because she's acne prone." She laughed. "I mean, have you seen the zit on the top of her forehead?" she snorted and popped another piece of chocolate in her mouth.

I laughed and stared at the ceiling, thinking of everything that happened today. I woke up from the most terrible dream I ever had, and then it came true. Terrible.

"What are you thinking about?" Rose whispered, nudging me.

I looked over at her, and shook my head.

"Nothing. Just thinking about how I'll always be alone."

She propped herself up on her elbow and looked at me in the eyes and shook her head.

"I can see it, Bella. You'll have someone special one day, even if it's not Edward. And besides, you won't ever be alone. You'll always have Alice and me. Always."

I closed my eyes, closing back the water that pressed at my eyes.

"I want him or nothing." My voice was soft and full of sadness.

Rose was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Sounds like a game of deal or no deal." I opened my eyes and looked at her for a moment, and then slugged her in the arm. She laughed and slugged me back.
"You know what I mean. Deal or no deal, all or nothing, right?"

I nodded. That's exactly what it was.

All or nothing.

And right now, I had nothing.

A/N: This. Chapter. Sucks. I am so sorry that it does, but I'm having like difficulty writing for this story. BUT. Guess what? On Wednesday, I swear to you all that I will update. I swear, I promise. I feel like such a stupid procrastinator, but I am updating now. Alright, I am a bitch. A big one. I didn't send everyone a sneak peek (crap, I don't think I sent anyone one…), and I am a bitch for not doing so. So if you guys want to grab the brushes and eyelash curlers I made you put down at the beginning of this chapter, because you're more than welcome to pick it back up and 'cyber-ly' beat me. But seriously, you guys are amazing and I wouldn't blame you if you didn't feel like hitting the button that says review, really, I wouldn't.

But if you do, I swear I'll love you forever and send you a really long sneak preview for the next chapter that I swear will be sent out, I swear.

Btw, this is not beta'd cuz my beta is in Hawaii. Yay for Keely's beta! :-)

And I love you, my reviewers, too.
