Chapter Ten

BPOV

Just a friend….

I thought we were more than that… At least really good friends. I wondered if I'd imagined everything. Had we ever truly kissed? Had anything I had thought been in his thoughts. Just once, I wished that I could read thoughts. Then I would know what was so wrong with me that he didn't want me. Then there was a knock at the door.

"Bella," Alice called.

"Yeah," I said my voice a faint whisper. She cracked the door.

"You okay?" She asked. I nodded my head. I felt like my heart had stopped was that okay?

"Are you sure? I mean, you have a right to be upset." She said.

"About what Alice? Edward and I are strictly…"

"Friends?" She said, sarcastically.

"Exactly," I said, but a tear slipped out of my eyes and I looked away, biting my lips.

"Bella tell me the truth for once!" She said, exasperated. I looked at her.

"The truth is…" I blew out a deep breath.

"I think...I'm falling for him….and he could never like anyone like me. He doesn't even date since Lizzy was born!" I said, letting out my feelings and frustrations.

"Bella, he likes you. He really likes you!" She said, letting out a sigh.

"Come on, let's go. Everyone's here." She said.

We walked into the living room and I sat as far away from Edward as possible. I was just his friend. I don't need to be near him….

I let out a sigh.

"You okay Bella? You didn't even take Lizzy away from me tonight." He asked, worried. I flashed a fake smile.

"I just wanted my favorite person in the whole wide world to spend some time with her second favorite person." I said, and I could tell he didn't buy it.

"UH huh….and pigs fly," he muttered under his breath.

"Who's your favorite person, Bella? I thought we went through this." He said, and I resisted the urge to slap him.

"we did…I just decided that I like Lizzy more than you again." I said, nonchalantly. I don't know why I wanted to slap him. Maybe because he didn't tell me who my favorite person in the whole world was. What if it happened to be Lizzy? What could he do about it?

"Well, I'll just have to change your mind again," he said and within a second he was tickling me.

"O-Oka-ay y-you'r-re m-my f-av-vorit-te." I said, through my giggles.

I couldn't believe he got his way…again! But he did and now he was standing back, and smirking.

"Let's play truth or dare." Alice yelled and we all jumped up, shrugging.

"Okay, who goes first?" I asked.

"Oldest?" Jasper suggests at the same moment that Michelle said, "Youngest".

We agreed to let Michelle have her way and

"Rosie, truth or dare?"

"Truth," she said, quickly.

"Okay… is it the truth that you…. Darn it sucks not being around you guys enough to embarrass you!" She said, and we all laughed. She glared at Rose and said.

"Is it true that you once had your hair dyed green?" She asked, smirking as the memory came back to her. Rose nodded her head, looking uncomfortable as everyone laughed at her.

"Emmett, truth or dare?" Rose asked, rolling her eyes.

"Dare!" He said, flexing his muscles. Rose rolled her eyes again, and looked around the room.

"Emmett, you have a collection of video games here, correct?" She asked, and Edward laughed.

"What?" I whispered. He just shook his head.

"Yeah…" Emmett said cautiously.

"Burn them." Rose said, menacingly.

"WHAT??" He said, and she smirked.

Emmett started grumbling but he did as he was told. HE got up and went outside and put them in a trash can and burned them while we all laughed at his furious expression. It seemed that the only thing he loved more than video games was Rose.

"Jasper, truth or dare?" Emmett asked, and looked at Jasper as though he could kill him.

"Truth," he said, calmly.

"Have you ever… hmmm…is it true that you had a crush on Alice for three years before saying anything to her?" He asked, and Jasper nodded his head.

"Really?" Alice said, shocked.

He nodded his head again and we all laughed, only because her face betrayed the shock she was feeling. It was sweet really. She pressed her lips to his for a second and pulled away smiling.

"Alice, truth or dare?" Jasper asked, smirking.

"Truth," Alice said.

"Is it the truth that… that you'll marry me?" He asked, nervously. We all froze. He was proposing…in the middle of Truth or Dare!! Oh my…how is Alice going to react to that?

"Umm…are you…proposing?" She asked, not mad, not surprised, just verifying.

"Yes," he whispered, and she nodded her head.

"Yes, Jasper I will marry you!" She said, and then she kissed him and I looked away. I didn't feel like watching couples kiss right now. They always seemed to bring back memories of a certain garage.

"Okay, okay, Michelle truth or dare?" Alice finally said a minute later.

"Dare," Michelle squeaked out.

"I dare you to paint Em's jeep pink. Just spray paint a pink line on it." She said and then she got up with Michelle and went to Edward's garage to get paint. I sat there examining my finger nails, not looking at anyone. It took all of my strength not to look at Edward's face.

"Are you okay?" He whispered in my ear.

I nodded my head, still looking down.

Soon, Michelle and Alice were back and Emmett was fuming. He was pissed. Oh well, we could tell him later that the paint would wash off. Alice and I had been planning that as a joke for a few weeks, which is why we had the paint.

Michelle opened her mouth and looked around.

"Bella, truth or dare?" Michelle asked. I sighed, and opened my mouth.

"Truth," I said, and then I waited to know what embarrassing question she would ask.

"How do you really feel about Edward? Tell the truth." She said. I sighed, thinking I could try to get out of this. I couldn't think of one, and it was worthless anyways. There was no way I was telling the truth.

"He's just a friend. That's all I feel for Edward; friendship." I said, trying to convince myself and them at the same time.

"Denial," Jasper said, and then he smirked at me.

"Whatever." I muttered. We were silent for a few seconds and I seemed to remember that I was supposed to go next.

"Umm… who hasn't went yet?" I asked.

"Me," Edward said. His velvety voice caused butterflies to fly through my stomach and I chose to ignore it.

"Truth or Dare?" I asked, and rolled my eyes.

"Truth, I never know what you'll make me do…." He joked. I half smiled and rolled my eyes.

"Who is your favorite person in the world? Tell the truth now!" I said joking.

"You," he said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world? Tell the truth now!" I said joking.

"you," he said, again, like it was the most obvious thing ever. He was completely serious…or at least he looked like he was.

"Yeah…right." I said, sarcastically, and everyone around us sighed, exasperated.

"Plan two Alice?" Rose asked, Alice nodded. Suddenly everyone was staring at us like they could kill us. I felt someone pick me up and looked up to see Jasper. Then Emmett picked up Edward, and we were so confused that at first we didn't ask what they were doing and suddenly we started screaming at them.

"What are you doing?! Let me down!! NOW DAMMIT!!" I screamed and we were put down and then a door shut as Em and Jasper walked out.

"What the hell?" I asked.

"Alice let us out!!" Edward yelled.

"Not until you two talk and tell each other." She said, practically singing.

I groaned…this is going to take a while.

"Where are we?" I asked, Edward.

"The basement." He said, sitting on the couch there. I went to the corner and sat on the recliner. This is going to be a while!

Then I sighed as a single tear leaked out of my eye and I turned my head like I was going to sleep.

"Oh, so there's nothing worse than being stuck in a room with me?" He asked, hurt evident in his tone.

"Didn't say that," I said, once I had composed my face and voice. On the contrary this was the best thing that I could ever wish for and yet here I was with him and I just wanted to run…

Just a friend.

Great, thanks Alice.
