Bella's POV

(Two weeks later)

The last two weeks have been Edward-free. I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing. Yes, I wanted to get away from him but I missed him. I used to be in love him. Even if I wasn't anymore it was hard to get over. I might have still been in love with him. I wasn't sure. I knew I shouldn't love him, he hurt me, but every time I saw him in the halls my heart burst. He was never around Lauren but she bragged about kissing him. Maybe he was telling the truth. All I could think of when I saw him was what if I actually hurt him.

Play practice was a whole different story. It was incredibly awkward. Mr. Banner was disappointed on our lack of being able to pretend we were in love. How could I pretend to be in love with him? I hated him. At least I thought so.

"Sorry Mr. Banner" Was all either of us would say. I just really hoped he wouldn't replace us. I tried to try a little harder but our understudies were practicing a little harder than I found necessary. Acting wasn't hard it was seeing Edward's face. He always had a sparkle in his eyes before but now it was gone. His eyes were flat and dull. I wanted to see the sparkle again. I couldn't help but think that I was the reason for the sparkle being gone.

Edward's POV

The last to weeks have been hell, living torcher. Bella has been avoiding me. I mean she had all rights to be mad. I did kiss another girl but I didn't think Bella would mind. I would see her in the halls but she would never talk to me or even acknowledge my presence. I wanted to run up to her and hold her in my arms. Sometimes when she looked at me I could see sadness in her eyes or sometimes even guilt. I couldn't see why she had a reason to be guilty. I was the one who hurt her. Why did she have a reason to be guilty?

Practice for play was the worst. I would go crazy. Mr. Banner told me to act but all I could do was stare at her hopelessly in love. Mr. Banner also told us to pretend we were in love. That was no trouble for me. I did love Bella probably more than I should have. Probably more than was healthy for a human being. I couldn't wait for her to have to kiss me. All practice I was spaced out just thinking about my lips on Bella's. Her lips looked so soft, so succulent. I wanted to make out with her all day. Like that would ever happen.

I wanted to go talk to her but I didn't want her to get angry with me. More importantly I didn't want her to hit me. I, Edward Cullen, football all-star was indeed afraid of little Isabella Swan. I continued to stare at her until practice was over. I am glad she didn't notice. I have been a zombie every since she saw me kissing me Lauren.

Today I was going to talk to her. Today I was going to fix everything. I was going to at least be her friend. I need to be at least that. Bella was walking towards her truck when I cut her off.

"Bella we need to talk." She tried storming into her car but I blocked the door. I was not letting her getting away that easily. "Bella please" I tried to use my most pleading eyes.

"What?" She was mad. I was scared. She really did hate me.

"Bella I want to work this out." God if I cried at school I would be angry.

"What if I don't want to?" She was standing still as a rock.

"Bella can't we at least be friends?" I was not going to give up. No way no how I was giving up on the love of my life.

"I don't know Edward. I really don't! I don't think you could be a very good friend." She was now pacing back in forth in front of her truck. But I could be a good friend. I could be more then friends. I could be the best boyfriend ever. I remembered what Alice had said about Bella having rough past with relationships. I wondered if anyone had ever hurt her. Who would ever hurt such perfection? If I ever found out someone hurt her I would probably use violence.

"Bella I can be a friend just give me a chance." I was begging know. I needed her! I needed her friendship. I needed everything about her. I saw her smile. She radiated I smiled too. I just had to. It was contagious.

"I guess we could be friends" I was shocked for a second until she asked "Um … could I get in my car now?'"

"Oh yeah sorry" I gave her a huge hug. She looked uncomfortable but I didn't let go. "Too much for friends?" I asked still not letting go of her. I never wanted to let go of her. I could feel the electricity flowing through us. It felt so right. At least for me it did.

"Yeah kinda" I finally reluctantly let go of her. She hoped in her truck. "Bye" She was nervous.

"Bye" I waved. I missed the feeling of her body pressed against mine. I missed her already. I was going psycho.

Bella's POV

"Bella I can be a friend just give me a chance." Edward was practically begging me. He must really want this. I was skeptical but I agreed.

"I guess we could be friends" Edward stood there confused. It was awkward. "Um … could I get in my car now?'" I did need to go home eventually.

"Oh yeah sorry" The next thing I knew Edward's arms were wrapped around me. I must have looked uncomfortable because he asked "Too much for friends?" He asked but still didn't let go. I couldn't say I minded much. When we touched an electricity flowed through us. It felt weird but nice at the same time. I knew we were only supposed to be friends but I didn't want him to let go.

"Yeah kinda" I didn't want to have him let go but I didn't want him to think I liked him. He was still trying to be my friend nothing more for now. I hoped in my truck and drove off. "Bye" I was confused. I didn't know what to think about Edward Cullen.

"Bye" I saw him wave with a huge smile on his face. He really did want to be my friend. Maybe he did actually love me. No, no I was 99.999999999999999999% sure that part was a lie. Why would Edward Cullen love me plain Bella? I was confused. My phone rang and made me jump. I hit my head on the car roof and answered my phone.

"BELLA!" I heard Alice squeal from behind the phone. I could almost see her jumping up and down.

"Alice, What's up" I was still slightly dazed.

"Rosie and I haven't seen you in like 2 weeks!" That made me feel incredibly guilty. "And we haven't even told you about are dates!" Alice was making me feel 'great'! I felt so bad for ignoring them because of Edward.

"Alice I'm sorry! Let's have a girl's night its Friday we'll spend the night."

"Great! Rose is here already so we'll pick you up. Oh I heard you and EDWARD make up!" How did she know that?

"Alice, how did you know about that? Edward couldn't be home by now!" Really how could she have found out? Does he announce these things to the world?

"Oh ah no he didn't tell me uh I… we'll be right there to pick you up" Alice seemed confused and thrown off. Not like her. I had I feeling there was something I didn't know about her.

(some minutes and 43 seconds later)(Another inside joke)

"Hey guys" I hopped into the back of her Pourse and we sped off I didn't even care about the speed.

"Bellsy!" They said simultaneously. They were getting scary good at that.

"Guys I'm sorry about the last couple of weeks. I was just hurt." I really felt bad but I had the greatest friend's earth they were so forgiving!

"No problem but you have to hear about our dates in exact details" Rose's deal wasn't too bad. At least it wasn't a make over.

"Sounds good"

"You have to meet my parents. They're home." Alice gave me an innocent smile. "And I kinda told them you were Edward's girl friend!"

A/N Sort of Cliffy I guess. It gets interesting. What are Edward's parent's jobs? Why did Alice tell them Bella was going out with Edward? They are just getting along and now they have to pretend to go out! Will it drive them apart or together? REVIEW AND I'LL Update TOMORROW! RE+VIEW= REVIEW
