A/N: PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! Sorry that i haven't updated in months. But when it was school, i had classes to study for and as soon as it was over i had to go to the Philippines to build some houses for the poor. I would've written but i was never really near a computer at any time. I didn't really get back til around a few weeks ago so i had to re-adjust myself to this story. So this might not be the best chapter. Even i don't think this is a good chapter. So if this sucks, Please tell me. If you have any suggestions for this story, Please tell me.
Enjoy, or not.
Disclaimer: I still don't own anything. I do own a bracelet with my name on it though.

"Um, it was good. They said I was. . um good. I might get-um a callback." From the way she was stuttering and stalling, it was as if she is hiding something.
"I hope so Bella. You are the best actress I know at this school and you deserve this part."
"Aww. Thanks baby. I love you." She gave me a kiss, but I just wasn't in to it very much. I hope she didn't notice. Pulling away, taking her hand in mine, we walk out of the audition hall.
On the walk home, Bella seems so, nervous? Maybe she didn't get the part? Or maybe something bad happened? Or a secret from me? No, that last one is impossible, we never have secrets from each other.
"So, when do you know if they call you back?" I ask Bella trying to break the awkward silence that has gotten between us.
"Um, in about week. They still have auditions for the other parts," Bella responded nervously. Her silence is really getting me worried.
"Are you sure you're okay? I mean you're really acting funny. Did they casting directors say anything to bring you down?" Something is really messing with Bella's head, and I really want to help her.
"Nothing. I swear. I guess it's just the after nerves. You know I never like being the center of attention." It's true. Even with the plays she's been cast in, never does she like to be in the limelight. And I love her for that.
Awkward silence That's not good. We used to share a comforting silence. Now, you can cut the tension with a knife.
"Hey, so I'm meeting with an old friend later. Just some coffee and stuff. So I won't be home for dinner." I know that I'm partially lying to her, but I need to see where my feelings lie for Tanya.
"Sure. It's okay. I was just going to end up listening to music and finishing up my assignment for my drama class."
"Great"
It's 6:15 and I'm waiting on Tanya. She told me 6 so she should be here. What a goddamn liar. I knew this was a bad idea. I knew she was just setting me up to get all my hopes up. 5 more minutes and I'm done. Back to Bella is much better than waiting for a no show.
Speak of the liar, and she shall appear. Looking at the door as the bell rings comes Tanya in her usual sexy clothing. Short mid-thigh skirt, tank top, and cardigan. She is looking hot in that and I've missed her.
"Edward?" I smiled at her. "Edward! Edward, I'm so sorry. I should have never left you. It was one of the biggest mistakes of my life." Tanya looked like she was on the verge of tears. Stay strong Edward. Stay Strong.
"Tanya, don't speak so loud, we are in a public place. Let's first get something to drink and take a seat before we discuss this in detail." After a few minutes of waiting for our coffees, we sit at the table next to the window.
"Okay Tanya, what do you want to talk about?"
"Edward. I miss us. I miss being with you. I don't know why I broke up with you. You always supported me and I never really did. After not being with you, I realize that I'm not happy. The only time I ever smiled was with you. I still love you," she almost sobbed.
"Tanya, I don't know if I can trust you. You cheated on me with some asshole while I've always been faithful to you. I was depressed for days thinking about you and what we had. Yes it's true that I still have feelings for you, but I can't be with someone who isn't very trustworthy. " It's true, for my feelings for her, but what about my feelings for Bella now?
"Edward! I promise I'll change. I promise to always want to be with you. You were the only person who ever made me really happy," she got out of her seat to, what I thought was going to hug me, kiss me full on my lips. So familiar, so full of something I can't recognize, but something doesn't feel absolutely right. Right before she could do anything further, I pushed her off of me.
"Do you feel it Edward? Do you feel that I still love you?" she looked at me with a confused look wondering why I pushed her off.
"Tanya, I never said I would get back together with you. But we can start off as friends first," I don't know what to feel. I don't know what feeling is stronger; my feelings for Tanya, or my feelings for Bella.
"It's a start. I'm sorry for kissing you like that. It was just me being impulsive again. I'm sorry."
"It's okay," I go over to hug her and the feeling of comfort washed over me again. Maybe this can work out. But what am I going to do about Bella? I care about her and I don't want to hurt her. I'll see what happens when that time comes.
Third Person POV
