I am very very very sorry for not updating for a long time. It is almost the end of the year for me and I had to get my grades all worked out. Not to mention the fact that I had my fencing tournaments and I was away a lot. I recently was looking for names and I found out that Mandy means LOVABLE! So true! Don't you think?

LPOV (from know on this is Layne POV)

Bella raised her eyebrows, she was looking at me with an "Uh-oh, I'm really in for it now" look. Mandy nodded at me. She understood where I was going with this. Of course she would know. I smiled, now that Mandy was in the plan Bella had no chance of escaping. Although I really wanted her to think things out before doing anything drastic... Apparently Jane had the same idea since she frowned at me. Thank goodness someone was on my side. Jane was worried, and she didn't even know the whole story. When nobody was looking at me I mouthed "We will talk" to Jane. In a way of signaling that she understood me, she blinked once. I finally turned my attention to the last member of our "group", Ava. Just like I expected, there was a evil smirk on her face. She saw me looking at her and winked. She didn't even know the plan yet, but she knew it would involve some fun planning. Obviously Bella had another person on "team Edward". 2 on Layne's team vs. 3 on Bella's. Ava rubbed her hands in a mischief making way. She is going to have a field day with this. Watch out Bella, the Joker is after you.

Later...

BPOV

I remember I had repeated the instructions 3 times out loud and about 10 in my head. Layne had the perfect plan, I had even found myself agreeing to her every word. Almost... I hated these clothes, Mandy picked them out. I felt horrible, this revealed way to much for my taste. On the other hand, I wasn't exactly me, right? And Mandy promised me that she would pick an even more slutty outfit if I didn't wear this one. That was exactly what she said. The plan is so awesome! This wasn't me thinking, It was Rebecca's mind. I really got in to her character. I was shaking my hips in the mini skirt I had on.

The plan included me having to try to seduce Edward in this sexy body. I would see if he went for me. All the while, I would question him about his past girlfriend, Bella, and his feelings for her.

I listened to the world around me, trying to find Edward's voice, but all that I could pay attention to was the clink-clonk of my high heels. The shirt I was wearing happened to be a tank top. It was brown and on the edges the color was lighter. The shirt had a crumpled look. Apparently that was "in"(Shirt, skirt and shoes on my profile).

I got to Edward's room and took a deep breath.

Before I could knock I heard his velvety voice "Come in"

He sounds grumpy. It couldn't be me now, I'm here to make him better. I was seriously in this character, I had to stop. I was scaring myself. Rebbecca was disgusting, weird and annoying! Rebbecca was me. I came in, putting a bright smile on. Edward glanced my way... and froze... This made me smile even wider. His eyes widened at my chose of clothes and makeup. Which reminded me, why did I need makeup? So I could look like a clown? I was supposed to seduce Edward, not have him laugh his ass off. There goes Bex's freakish thoughts again.

"Miss me?" I asked, making my best flirt face.

He didn't answer me. I frowned, pretending to be upset with the lack of answer. In truth, I was sad. He was staring at me with a look of wonder on his face. Did it mean that he thought Bex was gorgeous and he wanted to be with her? I tried again.

"Does that mean you like me?" I asked, twirling a piece of hair in my fingers.

I was also biting my bottom lip slightly. The innocent cute look. My true love noticed my intentions. His posture became rigid. He clutched his suitcase so tightly that it cracked, so he dropped it. It fell to the floor with a load clang. It was only then that I noticed that Edward was packing. He was going somewhere.

Instead of answering my question he mentioned his brother "I'm sorry about Jasper"

Perfect. You just set yourself into a trap.

"Do you think I need luck?" I laughed silently in my head at Edward's stupidity.

He wouldn't get out of this that easily. I took a step closer to him, while Edward took a step back. He was at the wall. No way to run, except to me... But I didn't take another step forward, I didn't want to be inches from him. Feet was just fine for me. At the contact Edward might run like a startled fawn. I wouldn't have enough time to catch him. Who new where he would run off to, probably his current home, and that was far away. I was desperate for answers. My love refused to speak. Obviously, he didn't like this turn of events, I was in the lead. I had to speak myself.

"Where are you going?" I frowned at his luggage.

His stuff was strewn everywhere. After he dropped his suitcase his clothes went flying all over the place. I didn't pay much attention them. But Edward did. He actually looked like he was choking on something. I was surprised that he didn't turn red. I noticed that Edward wouldn't look me in the eye. I didn't understand his strange behavior until I heard giggling from outside the door. Vampires trying to be quiet. What a challenge I thought sarcastically.

"... all kinds... like, underwear also!" I heard someone say before there was a big amount of shushing.

I almost burst out laughing. Edward was embarrassed, no way! I looked around, sure enough the "mysterious voices" were right about his "choice" of clothes. The silence finally ended.

"I'm going... I am leaving... uh... back home" he answered with his head bowed down, almost touching the floor.

Whoa. This day was getting stranger and stranger. Now, Edward had trouble answering a question? Was it just me or did he actually stumble on his words?

"Why? Did I do something?"

You did a lot I answered myself. I made my voice sound small, sad and lonely.

"No! Of course not!"

He answered too quickly. And with a lot of determination like he was trying to make himself believe it. At the same time he sounded sure, too sure. I'm going to pretend I didn't notice your slip up.

I smiled and said "Really? That's great! I mean... it's okay... Edward, I'm just going to go ahead and say it. Jasper told you anyway. I like you"

Who's lying now? Just a while ago I was screaming at Jasper because he said that remark and now I was using it myself. I looked at the floor. It was my turn to play the embarrassed act. I must not go too fast. Yet.

Edward started to argue with me "But you hardly know me! You can't like me!"

He was trying so hard to convince me. But he had no chance. How wrong he is. Actually, if I think about it, parts of his words are correct. I don't like him, I adore him. I couldn't help myself, I took another step forward.

"Why not!" I exclaimed for the lack of anything else to say.

"I do like you. I think it might be even more than that. I have never felt this way before!" I continued because he didn't look convinced.

I took another step toward the love of my life, or dead life, it doesn't matter. We were now only two feet from each other. Very close. Luckily for me, he ended up in a corner. Perfect. I had to take a deep breath before I could look into his topaz eyes.

"I'm sorry. I don't feel the same way. You'll find someone else. Someone better" Edward answered staring into my eyes.

Said like a gentleman. He actually sounded sincere. To bad not all guys are like him. But I don't need all guys, I only need Edward. I understood that Edward didn't like Bex. But I didn't know if Edward still loved the real me. I wasn't going to back off until I found out. Too bad Edward is out of luck.

"But I don't need someone else! I want you!" I exclaimed, exasperated.

From the side I probably looked like a winy five year old. One that always got what she wanted. I spoke to Edward like he was a toy, something that didn't live, fine, something that couldn't talk and walk. I should have said: I want to be with you. Edward stood one the spot with his eyes closed. He pinched the tip of his nose. I cautiously eyed him. Edward usually stayed calm, but now I saw that he was trying not burst with anger. I over did it. I didn't want to be the object of Edward's wrath, but we couldn't just stand here doing nothing.

I let all my features become cold, wary "Wait, there's someone else, isn't there?"

Just as I said that, Edward's eyes flew open. I had hit a mark. He was going to talk now. Oh, he was gonna talk.

"What are you talking about?"

He sounded amused and confused at the same time. But I knew what was under the calm mask, nervousness.

I opened my mouth, showing surprise, as if I just figured something out "No! No way! Don't tell me it's that human!"

I said the word human differently, like it was something filthy, a piece of trash. I wanted to see his reaction.

I pretended not to notice the look of alarm on his face "Mandy told me about her. Ugh"

Anger clearly showed on his face when I mentioned his former beloved "What do you know! You have no right to interfere with my personal life!"

He is angry. I defiantly went too far. Dang. And I was so close!

Better late then never though "I am so sorry sweetie! I shouldn't be so mean. I don't know what got over me. I just got a little jealous because of your ex-girlfriend"

It really hurt for me to say that word, ex-girlfriend. Something just roared inside of me. The pain, the fire, the transformation, all over again. He wasn't mine anymore.

I was already standing by Edward, right near him, and stroking his arm. He stiffened at the contact while an electric current flowed threw me. How long was it since the last time I touched him? A long time, too long for my taste. I thought his looks, his voice, everything about him would become worse after my change. I thought that he wouldn't be so perfect anymore. Because I changed too, I became more perceptive. I could hear better, see better, a lot better. I thought I would find flaws in his voice, skin. The imperfections that humans couldn't notice.To my astonishment I figured out that I was wrong. He became more beautiful. I could now see all the little details in his skin. Even the scars he had, which there weren't a lot of, seemed wonderful. They actually glowed slightly, but only slightly, the human race wouldn't notice them. And Edward's voice! Don't get me started on his voice! As a human I couldn't hear the melody, the song. All he had to do was talk and I could hear the notes that didn't exist in the human world.

I finally found my voice and continued "It isn't like your ever going to see her again. I'm being silly!"

I let out a laugh that sounded like a million wind chimes in the air. At least I'm not faking my voice. Finally, this plan was getting to me. I didn't like what I was doing. Why did I have to be someone else just to get him to love me? Love me for me, and not for someone you wish I could be. Love me for me, not for someone I would never be... Wait, isn't that a song? I started naming all the songs I knew, which were Layne's songs. She listened to a lot of music, but not the kind Edward listens to. She listens to popular music. Music of this decade. She makes me listen to it with her. No surprise I'm quoting the lyrics now(Can anyone guess what song it is? I just think it fits. To my friend Kate: I know you know). This only for the answers, only for the answers, nothing more. It is going to be over soon.

I started blabbing, I guess that helps "You wouldn't want her back. Why would you?- pause, Edward doesn't answer-There is so much more that I can offer. You won't have to be careful around me. And I can't die from old age either. You won't lose me" But from his expression I guessed that was what he wished.

"Stop"

At least it's an answer, some kind of answer. But it was only one word. I should be able to get a lot more from him, after all I did know him, I knew more than some. I should be able to squeeze everything out with my knowledge. Do something that will make him talk. That was what sexy Rebbecca was for. I don't even know the reasons for this kind of reaction from him. Did he not want to listen to me or did he want me to shut up so he could kiss me? Explain!

I decided to go with the first variant "Why darling? We belong together"

I lifted my hand to his face. Even though they were of the same texture, his arm was so different from his cheek. I closed my eyes for a moment and imagined a warm cheek, a human cheek, Edward's cheek. How was Edward as a human? Charming? Beautiful? Strong? Brave? Sweet? Romantic? Yes. All of these. Even as a human. One word to describe all of that, perfect.

A handsome prince galloping on a horse, galloping toward me, a nobody. A clumsy girl, nothing special, just plain. But a damsel in distress, of course. He whisked me away to his world, a world of possibilities. A world where I actually became a somebody. I stayed the same, but the things around me changed. I was surrounded by another family, a family bigger then the one I had before. Not to mention a lot different. The world I was now in was magical. Creatures surrounded me, the kind that were only in books. But here they weren't the kind from books. They didn't follow the stereotypes. These vampires were different. But the most interesting thing is that I still stayed the same. I didn't have to change for them, but I still fit in. I finally found my place in the world. A place were I belonged, it didn't matter that Edward didn't want it that way, it was destiny. Not Alice's kind of future, this was set in stone. I started believing in other mystical creatures too. What if there were other good creatures like fairies, unicorns, mermaids. What if there were not so good characters also? Like werewolves, dragons. The world is such a mystery...

I was snapped out of my fantasy, kind of flashback, by Edward. He pulled away from the contact, leaving my hand patting nothing but air. I didn't care. I couldn't stop myself. I turned his face toward mine. His eyes met mine. I melted on the spot. His eyes had a special effect on me, even if they looked scared. They were like a sacred jewel glowing in the dark. A jewel more beautiful and costly than diamonds. And at that moment I didn't care. I didn't care about anything. I didn't care about my questions, I didn't care that he left me, although I should, I didn't even care if he didn't love me. It didn't matter that I was Bex, nothing mattered but him... Don't! You can't do this! You shouldn't do this! First get what you need, change back and then decide! But it was to late, I was leaning toward him, toward the magnificent beautiful beast. I was inches from his face, inches from a passionate kiss. I could feel his breath. Another thing, I haven't had for long. It felt so... fragile. He, felt so fragile. It seemed that way. How can gorgeous creatures like him be so strong? That was rare. He was rare, no flaws, no flaws... A indestructible angel, or a marvelous devil, a god, non the less. His smell burned my throat. He always said that I smelled wonderful to him, but now he smells wonderful to me. I guess I know how he feels. The difference was that I didn't want him like food, I wanted him as a lover. His scent was of a dozen flowers woven into a bouquet. I couldn't tell which flowers they were. There were just too many flavors to them, I couldn't keep track. Just like emotions I thought and smiled. If you feel them all at once, you can't understand. But if they are given to you one at a time, you could get to know them. They are all different, but you can't pick the best, they have their own type of sugary goodness... You would remember each and every one, learn to crave it. Just like with flowers. I wasn't sure it was like that with emotions though, I would ask Jasper later, after I apologized for my little stunt. It probably wasn't, but maybe... maybe it was! With some feelings like love and happiness. And you wouldn't want to feel others like anger, despair. Just like with flowers. You wouldn't want all the flowers in the world. Some are sickly sweet and some smell just horrible. Edward's scent was completed with the best flowers, nothing less.

"I am married" he said, pulling me out of my state of dreamy meditation and fanciful musing.

I automatically pulled away. I couldn't know if he was telling the truth. What if he was? I couldn't kiss a married man! But how could this be? And more importantly, who was she?! No, no, no, no, no. This cannot be happening to me, what did I do to deserve this punishment?

"I have a mate" He added.

Mates are forever, she is his forever, not me. We weren't meant to be. We aren't sole mates.

I was wrong.

Edward was looking at me with wary eyes. Waiting for me to do something crazy. The truth of his words hit me like a bomb. Mandy must have not looked that far in his memories. She missed the wedding! I felt was horrible. What was I still doing here? I'm wasting my time. I made a fool of myself. I loved him, he loved someone else. I was going to break down. Right now. I did what I was expecting. I collapsed. Who would have thought he would catch me? I felt his arms around me. He was holding me. I shivered at the contact cause I knew he had a vow with another. I had no right to think those thoughts about him. I stop breathing, hoping that would help. It didn't . Because when he held me it became a lot worse. Involuntarily, I felt my body relax. This was the way it reacted around Edward. This would make it much harder for me to let go.

I felt a ticklish feeling at the back of my head. I mentally groaned. Not now! I was trying to make the most of the time I had left with Edward, before he left to his loved one. I sighed. She wouldn't stop bothering me. I got this feeling when April tried to contact me(If you don't remember, her power is communicating through the mind). She couldn't go through my shield, so I got this ticklish feeling that made it impossible to concentrate on anything else. The buzzing, the buzzing, the buzzing. She isn't a person that would take no as an answer. This might be important, but that's only a might. I reluctantly lowered my shield to tell her I was busy.

What is it? I don't have time!

To my surprise, the voice that spoke next wasn't April's, it was Lex's. April must have connected our minds.

Wait! It's important! She thought.

I listened, curious. At the same time I saw that Edward's eyes widened and he stopped breathing. He couldn't take his eyes off me. Shit! He knows what I am thinking! I had forgotten all about Edward! I didn't realize this knowledge was passed on to Lex also. But our minds were connected. Obviously Edward heard my latest realization also. His grip tightened on me, making a screeching noise. It sounded like nails on chalkboard.

OK! Mandy just called me! He is lying! He doesn't have a mate! Lex quickly thought, understanding that I didn't have time.

Before I had the time to react, Edward dropped me.

"Oof! Ow!" I yelled out of surprise.

My shield snapped back up. My sensitive vampire ears caught a sound of hysterical giggling. I mentally counted how many people were out side the door. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5! Mandy, Layne, Ava, Lex, April found it funny that Edward dropped me. But... I'm sure Jane is with them. She didn't laugh, of course not. She's too serious. I wonder how much those seven heard of my conversation. Snooping. I turned my attention back to Edward. He was sitting in a chair and looking at the door, like he was trying to open it, telepathically. I found my voice.

"Liar" I glowered, venom dripping in my voice.

I was mad. Edward had lied to me. He went to such a low level just to get away for Bex. That included me looking like an idiot. I practically fainted in front of him. What can three little words do(I am married. Those 3 words). Edward looked at me, acknowledging my existence.

"You're alone" I said after the long silence, calmer this time.

His expression changed instantly once my words left my lips. His nostrils flared, his eyes turned onyx and his hands clenched into fists. It was his turn to be mad. I have never seen him this angry. I was afraid, this madness was because of me, he was screaming at me.

He roared "I am! But that doesn't mean I am not in love! I love Bella! I don't care if she has a family and doesn't need me! I wouldn't care if she was dead! I can't love you because I left my heart with her! I'll let that whole world know! I LOVE BELLA! And I'm proud of that!"

He was choking on his words. It seemed that he would at cry any moment. I felt like crying my self, out of happiness. You found what you wanted, do something! Don't make him suffer anymore. Edward abruptly stood up. He rushed toward the door with lightening speed. The only problem was that I was in the way. I was standing before an angry Edward and his only way out. What could I do? I couldn't will myself to get out of the way. I couldn't run for my life. My legs wouldn't move. All I did was close my eyes and wait for him to crash into me. Instead I found myself flying though the air. I landed into a wall. My eyes flew open. Thank god there isn't a lot of damage I thought checking my surroundings. Edward threw me as lightly as he could. If he threw harder there wouldn't be a couple of walls left. I heard squealing outside the door and "Out of the way!". Edward stopped, but didn't do anything else. He slowly turned around, keeping his eyes on the floor.

"I-I am really sor..." He didn't finish his sentence.

Once again I found myself staring at him stare at me. I felt uncomfortable. He was the one to break the silence. He asked a question that I wasn't sure how to answer.

"Bella?" He whispered.

Did you like it? What did you like? I'll try to update faster next time, but I am warning you. Next week a have a lot of tests, hard tests, I'll have to study. DO YOU WANT THIS CHAPTER IN EDWARD'S POV? Tell me! The next chapter is going to be called Stupid Doornobs. What do you think about that?
