BPOV

The first day I was home, I slept it away. Alice didn't even bother me once which shocked me the most. When I finally did emerge from my room Alice was waiting for me with a cup of coffee.

"I see that you're alive," she said as I sat down on the couch across from her.

"Sorry," I told her taking a drink from the cup. "I guess I was more tired then I expected."

"It's alright," she answered. "So how was it?"

"Great," I told her smiling. "I never expected getting so much positive feedback."

"Did you meet anyone," she asked with a devilish grin.

"Alice," I said shocked knowing what she meant. "No I didn't meet anyone. Secondly I wasn't looking anyway."

"Bella," she said. "You haven't been out with someone in a while."

"My dear pixie," I told her. "I've been busy writing and finishing a book. Keep that in mind."

"Okay," she said looking at the ground.

"So," I said trying to make her happy. "I would love it if you and Jasper came to New York when I'm there."

"Really," she said.

"Yes," I told her. "Jane said that I could have someone at 'The Today Show' with me. You are like my sister after all."

"I would love that," she said coming across the couch to hug me.

"Great," I finally said when she let me go. "You just need to call Jane so that she can book your room."

"Bella," she said. "Are you sure that you want me there and not someone else there with you?"

"Alice," I said taking a deep breath. I knew who she was talking about, and it was the first time she has ever brought him up. "I haven't seen nor talked to him in eleven years. He hates me for moving away."

"Bella, do you miss him," she asked being serious.

"Yes," I answered. With that being said I put my cup on the table and got up off the couch.

I walked out of the apartment and towards a little park that I know. Alice would leave me alone for a few minutes. How did our conversation go from laughing one minute to me wanting to cry the next minute.? I knew that she didn't any harm, and I hated lying to her. I talked to him two and a half years ago not eleven years ago.

I had been living here in Seattle attending the University of Washington Seattle. I was starting my fourth and final year with a degree in science and minors in chemistry and biology. I had just gotten back from working on my lab project. I walked into my apartment, dropped my bag on the floor beside my desk, and logged onto my computer. As it logged in, I ran into the kitchen and grabbed something to drink. I timed it pretty close, because when I came back it was ready to go. The first thing that I did was check my messages. It said that I had one new one titled Please Forgive Me. I had no idea who would send it to me, but when I opened it I dropped my glass.

Bella,

I know that I am the last person you ever expected to hear from ever again. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for that last day. I'm sorry that I laid my hands on you and pushed you down to the ground. I never wanted to say goodbye like that. I hope that everything is going great for you.

Edward

I couldn't believe it. I hadn't hard from him in over eight and a half years. Reading his message my filled heart up with joy As I got to the bottom of the message he gave me his phone number. I took a deep breath and thought about what to do. He was my closest and best friend and that would never change. I looked up and saw that it was almost midnight. I didn't care the least I could was leave him a message. I dug my phone out of my bag and dialed his number. After it rang a few times his voice mail picked up.

"You've reached Edward Cullen. I can't come to the phone right now, but leave a message and I will get back to," the recording said.

I had butterflies in my stomach and it felt so good to hear voice. Then the called beeped telling me it was my turn to a message.

"Hey stranger," I said. "I'm sorry for calling you so late. I want to say that I'm sorry for pushing you so much that day. I didn't want to say goodbye like that either. I hope to hear from you soon."

When I pressed end I felt like I was on cloud nine. I went to bed with a smile on my face for the first time in a long time.

I walked back into my apartment to find it awfully quiet. I looked around and I couldn't find Alice anywhere. I figured that she went out with Jasper. I walked into my room to see my suite case on the bed and opened.

"Shit," I said when a pair of shoes came flying at me. "Alice!"

"Bella," she said startled. "You scared the leaving daylights out of me."

"You," I said laughing. "You threw shoes at me."

"I didn't know that you were out there," she answered with a smirk. "I'm sorry about earlier."

"It's alright," I told her. "He is your twin."

"I know that he is my twin brother," she started to say. It's just that she never mentioned him when I was around. "I miss him too."

"When was the last time you talked to him," I asked her.

"Right before I left for college," she said walking back into my closet.

"What are you packing for me to wear," I said trying to change the subject. "I don't leave for another two days and you're already packing.

"I know that," she said carrying more clothes out. "You're going to be gone for almost a month this time."

"It'll go by quickly," I told her. "Plus I'm sure that you'll be counting. Counting down the days until you're in New York shopping."

"You're right about the shopping part," she said laughing.

"So let's pack," I told her laughing as well.

We both ended up on the floor laughing.
