So, some people are saying they don't like Alice, which makes me sad. The main reason she is acting the way she is, is because she wants to defend Bella, because Bella is too nice a person. And Bella doesn't want to disappoint her best friend, but also doesn't want to hurt Edward. Hopefully that clears things up :))

And a lot of you guessed who the girl was, and I think only one person got it right…let's see who it is!

Accidentally in Love

Chapter 10

I couldn't believe Rosalie Hale was at my house. She hated me, or at least I thought she did. We never talked, she was extremely popular, and I wasn't- obviously. She never deliberately humiliated me, like Lauren. But if I ever got in her way, I paid for it.

"I'm here to give you a warning." She flipped a blond wave behind her head as she walked towards me.

"A warning for what, exactly?"

"Edward may not be my friend, but he is Emmett's." My eyebrows grew together in confusion. "Emmett may not see behind you two, but I can. I know that you know about the bet. I also know that Edward let himself fall for you." I stepped back in shock, and she stepped closer. "Emmett is so close to Edward, that when he hurts, they both hurt. So, if you hurt Edward…there will be hell to pay." She turned on her heel, flipped her hair back, and got back into her car.

I stood there for a few seconds, shocked, before I walked back into the house.

"I'm goanna -uh- go to bed." I told my dad.

"Night, Bells."

"Night."

I stood in front of my bed, dressed in pajamas, thinking over what to do. I could call Alice, tell her the plan was off, and be with Edward. I could tell Edward, hope he didn't get mad. But if Edward did get mad, I would lose him, and if I told Alice she would be disappointed. I didn't like either of those outcomes.

"I am so tired." I mumbled against the window of the car, where my head was resting.

"I'm guessing you didn't sleep well?" he smiled, apologetically.

"I slept like a baby." He looked at me confused. "Babies wake up every hour of the night."

"Sleep loss didn't affect your sarcasm, I see." He chuckled.

"Ha-ha."

"I'm sorry you didn't sleep well." He said, placing his hand on the side of my face. I leaned into it, and looked into his eyes. "I love you, you know?" I smiled.

"I love you, too." We kissed shortly before getting out of the car.

We walked in front of Rosalie's car hand in hand, my head resting on his shoulder. She glared at me from her seat. I looked away and kept walking. Edward walked me to my locker and then left for his own.

"I hope you're not considering backing out." Alice appeared next to me when I shut my locker door. I gasped and put a hand over my out of control heart.

"God, Alice! Scare me to death why don't you?"

"Not possible."

"Did you hear of that old lady that died when her house got broken into? She was scared to death." She rolled her eyes at me.

"Really, Bella, you can't back out. This is for you; you need to defend yourself at least once in your life." She whispered.

"I defend myself fine." I looked at her hurt.

"I didn't mean it like that, Bella. I just meant that you should take action. Any guy that would go out with someone on a bet is not the type of guy you want to fall in love with."

"I'm not doing this now." I said and walked off.

I didn't sit by her in any of my classes, and I didn't even look for her at lunch. I found Edward sitting at a table by himself and sat across from him.

"What's wrong?" he asked, taking my hand.

"Nothing, just sleep deprived." I mumbled, looking down at my food.

"You'll tell me later, please?"

"Sure."

He didn't push conversation, which I appreciated. School went by quickly after that, Edward took me home, and walked me to the door, and waited.

"Are you going to tell me what's bothering you?" how was I supposed to tell him the truth; I still wasn't sure what the truth entailed. "If it's me, just tell me. I can back off; we don't have to go so fast. I-"

"What!? No, it's not you at all. It's me, everything is my fault."

"Tell me, Bella." He whispered.

"Alice and I are fighting is all."

"You're sure that's it?"

"Yeah." I leaned up and kissed him. I needed something happy right now. He placed one hand behind my back, pulling me closer, and the other behind my neck. My hands were in his hair, pulling him closer to me. We pulled back, and he rested his forehead against mine. We locked eyes, and he gave me one final kiss.

"I love you."

"I love you, too."

I was sitting at the kitchen table, the only noise coming from the TV in the living room, when the door bell rang.

"We need to talk." Alice said.

"What are you doing here?"

"You're my best friend, and we need to talk about this." I nodded and opened the door further to let her in. I told my dad who was here and that we would be upstairs. He didn't mind, as long as she was gone by 10:45.

We both sat on my bed, face to face. I clutched my pillow to my chest, and she held her hands in her lap.

"What are you thinking?" she asked me.

"That I don't want to hurt him, but I also don't want you to hate me if I don't." I whispered, not looking at her.

"Bella, I could never hate you. And I want you to do what's right for you, not me. But, I also can't see you get hurt again."

"That's not the same, Alice, and you know it." I looked up at her.

"Heartbreak is heartbreak." She said, her wind-chime voice firm. I sighed and looked away. "I'll be by your side, no matter what you do. But I will also do everything I can to protect you. I love you, Bells. You're my best friend in the whole world." She sniffed.

"I love you, too Ali." We hugged, and laughed at each other when we pulled back. I wiped my eyes, and she did the same.

'So, are we good now?" she tilted her head to the side, and looked towards me.

"Yeah, we're fine. But, you're not going to do anything to Edward are you?" She laughed.

"I told you, I'll always do what I can to protect you." I sighed and nodded.

"Bella, ten minutes." My dad yelled from the bottom of the stairs.

"Come on." I sat up and pulled her along with me.

"Bye." She hugged me by the door.

"Bye."

I went to bed right after she left. I laid my head on the pillow, and breathed in deep, letting sleep come to me.

I dreamt of the future…with Edward.

A/N: Do you all still hate, Alice? I tried to show you her side of it, so I hope in some way you have changed your opinion. REVIEW!

B/N: I think every single person (except for that one who did get it) who reviewed guessed Lauren. And it turned out to be Rosalie! You did that with Jacob too, remember?

A/N: Ha-ha. I forgot I did that.
