And will make it up to you with an update everyday for the whole weekend!! I promise!! Okay so here is the chapter that was suppose to be up on Saturday!!

JPOV

I knew that annoying little pixie voice. I grabbed Bella out of instinct and habit and pulled her behind me. Some things never change. After all this time I was still trying to protect her. Shouldn't I have been reaching for Lauren? I was still so mad I was shaking until I felt Bella clutch my hand.

Again after all this time she was still trying to keep me calm. She slipped past me and gave the little pixie a hug. I guess this isn't the first time Bella has seen Alice since her brother had abandoned her.

Listening to their conversation it had become more apparent that they had been in touch over the years. She could stay in touch with the vampire but not with me? That was upsetting.

You told her you didn't want to see her ever again. My subconscious told me.

Shut up! I thought back. Great now I was arguing with myself.

When the little Pixie mentioned her good for nothing brother vampire Embry and I growled. She ignored us of course. She mentioned planning and Bella asked how the wedding was coming along.

So the asshole vampire was getting married. I watched Bella's expression to see if she was upset but she looked genuinely happy for him. The little pixie tried to talk her in to coming. Bella started to say something about vampires but I gave her a look that said don't so she quickly reworded.

She finally agreed to go and the little pixie and the quiet one with the southern accent left.

"Was that Alice Cullen?" Lauren asked.

"Yeah." Bella nodded.

"She hasn't changed at all!" Lauren said turning back in line. Bella looked at me clearly asking if she knew or not. I shook my head. She looked surprised. I was going to have to explain later to Bella why I hadn't told "I can't keep a secret to save my life" Lauren even though she is my imprint.

The club was already filled with people. It was dark and the strobe lights were shining everywhere. This kind of thing was never really my scene. This was more Lauren's thing. And apparently Bella's thing too.

The lady taking cover charges recognized Bella and set us up in one of the VIP areas around the dance floor. Bella ordered shots for everyone.

"What are we toasting to?" Leah asked

"To Izzie!" Lauren suggested. She was still sucking up even though Bella had yet to reject her. It was starting to seem kind of annoying.

Izzie shot that idea down and suggested "No, here's to havin a good time." We all took our shots and I was surprised at how easy it was for Bella. I guess she had really changed since high school. She hated drinking in high school.

The one time we got drunk together in high school, she threw up for 2 hours and she had only had 2 shots and one beer. She swore never to drink again. I guess she changed her mind.

Leah grabbed Bella and pulled her to the dance floor. The rest of them followed. Lauren didn't even notice that I had stayed behind. That wasn't unusual she liked to dance with a lot of different guys all the time. The sad thing? I didn't care.

So why did it bother me so much seeing Embry and Bella grinding together on the floor. She looked like she really knew what she was doing out there.

I noticed she caught me staring as she said something to Embry and made her way back over to me.

"You gonna sit here all night?" She asked sitting next to me. I looked away from her. I didn't know what to say to her. I felt horrible for how I treated her but obviously I had been right about her going back to the leech at some point. They were friends again.

"Oh so now it's gonna be the silent treatment? I guess I understand. You did say you never wanted to see me again." I flinched. She was right. I shouldn't be ignoring her but what do you say to the girl you love more than your imprint but were a total asshole to a long time ago.

I saw her stand to leave but I grabbed her hand lacing my fingers with hers. This was how it should be. I should be the one grinding behind her on the dance floor. Holding hands when we walked. "Don't go, Please." I said pleading with her.

"Why should I stay? You're not even talking to me."

"I'll talk to you. Just please stay." It was killing me to see her wanting to leave. It would kill me to see her leave to go back on tour later. So I needed this time with her while I had it. I notice Leah eyeing us from the dance floor. She looked like she would burn a hole in my head.

Once she sat back down I started tracing patterns on the back of her hand. I loved her hands. So soft. "I'm sorry." I finally told her.

"For what?" She looked like she was about ready to cry. I didn't want her crying. I reached up and wiped away the tear that had fallen.

"For making your cry. For saying the things I did. I didn't mean any of them. I thought you were coming to the beach that day to tell me the Cullens were back and that you were getting back together with him."

She looked confused and then pissed. "Why on earth would you think that?"

"Because you told me you desperately needed to talk to me." I said tightening my jaw. It made me angry just thinking about that night.

She dropped my hand and stormed off. Where was she going? "Bella! Bella!" She kept walking ignoring me. I finally caught up and grabbed her wrist pulling her back to me. "Bella. Where are you going?"

"Away from you. I can't believe that's why you thought I wanted to talk to you. You are such an idiot." Did she really just call me an idiot? If that wasn't why she wanted to talk to me then what was her reason?

"Then tell me what you came to talk to me about and why you walked away so easily." I snapped. I was tired of the games. I just wanted to know the truth.

"I came to tell you I love you! You idiot!" Now it was my turn to be shocked. Did she really just say she loved me? After all this time. I could have been with the girl of my dreams. But then there was Lauren. Who was my imprint. Wasn't she suppose to be my dream girl? As if! That girl was vain and superficial and dumber than a box of rocks. Bella was sweet and kind and smart. She always put other people before herself. Which is why when I told her I didn't want to see her anymore she walked away.

But before I could say anything Lauren was there pulling me away. Stupid Lauren. I just watched Bella turn and bolt into the bathroom. Knowing her she was probably pacing and freaking out about what she had just said. I caught Leah's eye and I think she knew because she took off towards the bathroom.

I really wanted another chance to make things right with Bella. All the guys had agreed that if anyone should be able to dump an imprint it should be me. Mine was the worse imprint in the world. Why did it have to be me? I looked down at Lauren who was attempting to look sexy but only succeeding in falling over every 2 seconds. She was drunk off her ass.

Embry gave me a look asking if I had talked to Bella. He knew that I had wanted to. I just looked at him sadly. It had not gone very well at all. He nodded and went back to dancing with an equally drunk Jessica. This was gonna be a fun trip back to Forks.

Ten minutes later Bella and Leah had emerged from the bathroom. Bella was smiling but it didn't quite reach her eyes. It wasn't a full Bella smile. I knew that was my fault. She and Leah rejoined us but Bella refused to look at me while Leah shot daggers in my direction.

Lauren and Jessica left the dance floor leaving Embry and I with Bella and Leah. Of course Embry grabbed Leah and started dancing with her. Bella just looked at me awkwardly and then just shrugged her shoulders and started dancing. She was a way better dancer than Lauren. I slipped my hands down to her tiny waist and moved behind her. She moved her ass up against me and I stilled for a moment. Damn she was good. I pulled her closer letting her feel my reaction and breathed along her neck. I saw her smirk from the corner of my eye and it made me smile too. This girl would be the death of me.

She turned in my arms and slipped her hand slowly up my arm and around my neck. She smiled sweetly at me and I pulled her closer. How could I have gone so long without her body being this close to mine? I inhaled her intoxicating scent.

Bella intertwined her other hand with mine and pulled me back to the VIP section. She obviously wanted to finish our conversation from earlier. She sat on the couch in the dark corner pulling me down next to her. We were sitting so close and it was so intimate. But it didn't matter nobody could see us from where we were.

Bella was the first to speak. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have blurted it out like that. I wasn't going to tell you at all. You have an imprint and I shouldn't have done that. That was stupid and…" She was talking in circles and I had to get her to shut up so I did the one thing I had been dying to do since we were kids.

I leaned in and captured her lips with mine.
