They agreed to meet me at my house when they were both ready to help me, since apparently I need it. They both were at work so I would be alone until they get here or until Edward wakes up, whichever comes first.

Chapter 8

Edward's POV

I woke up and took a quick shower and got dressed. I grabbed my key, locked my door, and walked to my girlfriend's apartment.

Knock! Knock!

I heard giggling and my very own angel answered the door. "Hey, come on in. I am being tortured. Alice and Rose are playing Bella Barbie." she mouths 'Help me'

I laugh and walk in. "Hey girls" I say to Rose and Alice.

"Hey, Eddy. Congratulations on getting a girlfriend." Alice says in her high pitched voice.

"We were starting to wonder about you." Rose says

Bella kisses me on the cheek, "You thirsty?"

"No. What's your girls plan for tonight?" I ask a little scared since I had to work.

"We are going out to celebrate!" Alice exclaimed.

Bella gave me a shaky smile. I gave her a reassuring smile to let her know that I was okay with it.

"Bella, can I talk to you in the kitchen?" I say to her

"Yeah" she says to me. "Stay here" she says to the girls. She knows them too well.

Once in the kitchen I say to her, "Bella, I know that you will be drinking, but will you call me when you are ready to go home. I will come pick you up. I want to make sure you are safe."

She smiles from ear to ear. "Okay, I promise. So long as you stop by in the morning. I want to make sure you are safe."

She amazes me. I walk up to her, wrap my arms around her waist and kiss her softly. At that moment I knew that I loved her. I know we just met again, but my heart was always hers.

"You better get your ass back in here we aren't done with you" someone yells from the other room.

"With that said, I need to get going. I have some work to do before I go to work tonight."

"Okay, I will see you tonight." Bella says then kisses me hard and passionately.

We walk into the living room and I say bye to the girls and leave. I need to do some detective work for a client.

Bella's POV

"You two are soo cute together." Alice said

"I know" I say fanning myself. Kissing Edward made me extremely hot!

They both giggle at me.

We sit there and talk while we get ready.

Once they were positive we reached perfection we went to the same club as always.

After a few drinks we decide to go dance.

I am on the floor dancing when I heard a familiar voice calling my name. I look around and see him walking towards me. "Hey Jake." I call to him.

Jacob Black was one of my family friends. We used to be close before Mike.

"Hey, Bells." he says when he is close. "What's up with you?"

"Not much. I am getting divorced." I blurt out. Must be the alcohol.

"I heard. He was a creep." he says then looks me up and down. "Your dad says that you are living here in town?" he says. I am not sure if it is a statement or a question so I just nod my head.

"Hey Bella, who is this?" Rose asks with a lot of question in her voice.

"This is Jacob Black. Do you remember him from high school?" I answer her question

She looks him up and down, "No."

"Oh well, I went to school on the res." Jake says. "I need to get going. I will get your number from Charlie and call you sometime later." he says and walks away.

"I don't like him." Rose says

"I have known him pretty much all of my life." I say in his defense.

We all meet back at the table and talk and drink for couple more hours.

"I need to call Edward." I say to them.

"Your ready to leave already?" the both ask in unison.

"No, I just want to see him." I slur.

"You are soo whipped." Rose says

"No, she is in love." Alice says

"NO!" I yell at her " I am not" I say in a quieter voice.

"Look at her, she loves Eddy and doesn't even know it yet." Rose said

"I am not, I am barely divorced." I slur out.

Alice and Rose both hug me. I forgot what we were even arguing about. I was too excited about going home.

"Okay girlies, I am gonna call my Edward up. I promised him that I would. He wants to take me home." I giggle out.

I pull out my cell and dial his number.

Hey Bella

"Hey Edward."

You want me to come pick you up?

"Yes, I do" I say trying to sound as sober as I could.

I will be there in 3 minutes.

"Okay hunny-bunny." then I close my phone.

"Hey chickies" I say to Rose and Alice, " I am going to go wait outside."

They both hug me again, "I love you guys" I say to them.

"Love you too." I heard them slur back.

I walk outside to wait for my boyfriend when Jake walks up to me.

"What are you doing outside? Aren't you cold?" he asks taking off his jacket and trying to hand it to me.

I see the cop cruiser pull up, "No, my boyfriend is picking me up." I say to him.

Edward walks toward us and puts his arm around my waist. "Ready?" he asks

"Yeah, sure. Edward this is Jacob Black. Do you remember him?" I ask

"Vaguely." he says then nods to him. "We need to get you home. It's freezing out here."

"Bye Jake, I will see you around." I call over my shoulder to him.

We were in the car and everything was quiet. I didn't know what to say. Edward seemed mad, so I sat there quietly.

We pulled up to our apartment and got out. He walked me to my door, then kissed me, but you could tell he didn't put his heart in it.

"Good night." I say to him breaking the long awkward silence.

"Do you still want me to stop by in the morning?" he asks.

"Only if you want to." I say then open my door and close it behind me. I went into my room, changed my clothes, and crawled under my comforter. For the first time in a while I felt myself cry.

I cried because I didn't know what I did wrong. I felt like once again I wasn't worthy of anything. I sat there and cried until I saw the sun come up.

I decided that I was going to get the truth out of Edward. I wanted to know how he was so hot and cold. I needed to know what was up his ass. I deserved the truth.
