Emmett and I had just arrived back at the club. From the looks on Alice's and Rosalie's faces I could tell they thought that maybe Edward wasn't so bad. It wasn't just the looks on their faces either, it was the fact that he was still sitting in such close proximity to them and they weren't attacking him and he had no bruises starting to form. They may be girls and Alice may be very small but they knew how to take care of themselves and their friends when they deemed necessary, which they considered necessary when a guy would hurt me. Since they had not beat him up yet they clearly thought that it wasn't something that was completely unforgivable, which meant they saw more than I did. Alice and Rosalie still sitting here with Edward made up my mind for me that I would at least hear his side of the story.

Suddenly Emmett decided he was hungry, "I want food lets go eat" he said randomly. Everyone else just looked at him like he as crazy but he used to do this all the time when we were younger.

"Um… Em man in case you haven't noticed it's like midnight where are we supposed to go eat" Jasper asked.

"Denny's" I said in a duh tone that sounded a lot like Emmett.

"See Bella gets it why can't you all get on board with the prog…" Emmett started then turned to look at me mid-sentence "hey are you making fun of me, you know Denny's is like a tradition, how could you make fun of that" Emmett said looking genuinely hurt.

I just rolled her eyes at him and said "oh don't look so hurt you are just trying to make me feel bad, and it is not gonna work this time." He was only trying to make me feel bad for making fun of him and it wasn't going to work this time.

"So let's go to Denny's" Emmett said trying to get back to what he wanted. (a/n: if this seems weird read a/n at end of story.)

When Edward and Jasper seemed surprised by this I was secretly happy that he didn't do that anymore, it was like something he kept just for when I was around and it made me feel special. Everyone decided to take the limo the guys had rented for the night to go to the restaurant.

In the limo I ended up sitting next to Edward and he started to apologize again. I looked at him thinking about what he was saying for a few moments and finally decided to let him know I wanted to know his side of the story "Emmett told me a lot about what happened in the past and who that girl was, but I think I should get your side of the story, if you want to tell me that is." I added as an afterthought so he didn't think I was forcing him to tell me.

He looked as if he was debating whether or not he really wanted to tell me, it looked like he didn't but that he knew if he wanted any type of relationship with me than I needed to hear his side of the story. So he told me, I could tell by the look on his face that he really didn't like reliving that part of his past but I couldn't really blame him.

Finishing his little speech he said "I really do like talking to you and I feel like me for the first time in a long time. I really hope that made sense and that I didn't sound too emotional. I really do like you and would really like to be able to spend some more time with you. If you will let me that is."

When he was done telling me his side of the story I knew I believed him for a few reasons. One is the expressions on his face and the tone in his voice when he spoke about it, but even more than that was the look in his eyes. And another thing was that his story was so close to Emmett's version with just enough difference, since it was him telling me, that it made me really believe him.

I thought about what to say, I knew I felt a connection with him and that I wanted to get to know him better, he also looked very anxious for my answer so I decided to let him know what I was thinking "I think that would be nice, I would really like to get to know you better as well."

He was very excited about this and hugged me very tight to him at this point but I was very happy about that, I liked him holding me like this. Suddenly I heard our friends making a bunch of noise but Edward either didn't notice or didn't care because he just kept holding me. When we finally got to the restaurant we got out but Edward didn't let me go too far. It was almost as if he was afraid that I would disappear which was very cute.

We all sat down and ordered our food I got my normal biscuits and gravy and a couple of pancakes and Emmett got his heartland scramble. Alice ordered the French toast and Rosalie got her waffles with strawberries (her major weakness) and Jasper and Edward both got an omlet. It was our late night breakfast.

We all ate and talked and laughed. I hadn't had this much fun in so long, it seemed like it was always meant to be this way but everybody just had to get a little sidetracked first before we could end up where we belonged. As we left we were all smiling and decided to meet up again tomorrow for dinner and a movie. For once I couldn't wait to go out and didn't care about Alice and Rosalie dressing me up. They gave us a ride to my place in the limo because the girls decided that we needed to have a girls night to talk about everything that happened. The guys all walked us to my door, Jasper and Emmett said bye to us as the girls walked into my apartment and I was left with just Edward by my door.

"Thank you again for giving me another chance and I promise to do my best not to screw it up" he said which made me laugh.

"you are welcome and I am glad we got past the misunderstanding I am sorry I didn't listen to you first" I told him.

"its fine I am just glad I get to see you again" he was saying when we heard the girls yelling for me to get my butt in the apartment for our girls night. "Well I guess this is goodbye for now but I will see you tomorrow. Is it okay if I pick you up from here at 6" he asked looking very nervous.

"I would really like that, so I will see you tomorrow at 6" I said.

"tomorrow at 6 then have a good night bella" he said. Before finally going our separate ways for the evening he bent down and gave me a kiss on the cheek, which of course made me blush. As he was walking away he looked back over his shoulder and gave me a very sexy crooked grin and I could only respond with a goofy grin and shy wave. What a way to end the night I thought to myself before going into my apartment to face my two best friends.

A/N: Once again sorry about the wait for the next chapter. I would like to thank you all for reading my story. I would like to give a special thanks to SilverSpirit 101, BabyBear08, and JNC12 for the reviews, I cant tell you how happy I was to get some reviews. So the story is almost done I am going to do an epilogue, but first I might to one more chapter, if I can figure out how to write it. I will try to update as soon as possible but I will not promise anything because I hate doing that then not being able to keep the promise because life gets in the way. Well I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, please please review, I really do love them. thanks again and stay cool.

Oh and for those of you who think the Denny's thing is totally weird and out there, me and my friend would do that all the time. I used to live in a pretty small town and after we got done at the pool hall or the movies or doing whatever we would always go to Denny's just so we didn't have to go home yet. And I almost always would order the biscuits and gravy sometimes with a pancake if I was really hungry. So though it may seem random I thought it would totally be something me and my friends would do and thought I would put it in the story just because I can. So thanks again for reading.
