Chapter 9: Again

Bella POV

My eyes widened at my realization. I subconsciously fell back on the couch and closed my eyes shut.

"Bella? Are you okay?" Audi asked with worry in her voice.

"But that's not possible. Why would he be in love with me?" I asked more to myself than to Audi.

"You're a great girl Bella. I don't understand why anyone would ever give you up, especially that Edweirdo guy. I'll try to get more details about it. I just have to be really sneaky though, otherwise Blake's going to catch on. But the important thing is, do you like him back?" she asked seriously.

"I…. I don't know. I've been having this bubbly feeling inside of me whenever I see him or think about him. Also, whenever we spend time together I just feel so happy and content. When he sang to me last night, it kind of sparked something inside of me. Oh my god, I do like him!!" I shouted in my discovery.

"It's about time," Audi muttered.

"Wow, I never thought that I'd ever move on since Edward," I sighed.

"But you did, and are moving on from him. This is great Bella!! You and Blake are perfect for each other. I want so much to let all of these comments slip out but I bite my tongue back," she bounced happily.

"Like the one where you're all like 'oh I hear you're interested in this certain blue-eyed guy,'" I imitated her voice.

"I do not sound like that," she defended.

"In my world you do. Anyways, just don't tell him anything," I told her.

"Why not? If he likes you and you like him, then why can't I just tell him and you guys can live happily ever after?" she asked.

"Because, we're not even sure if he really feels that way. I don't want to ruin our friendship. Besides, if he really does like me, let him tell me himself. I want to hear it from his own mouth. I want to know that he's saying it on his free will and not because you told him that I like him back," I explained.

"Alright," she said a bit unsure.

"Promise?" I asked.

"Promise," she agreed, "so… about the dance."

"Yes Audi, I'll go," I laughed at her eagerness.

"Yay!! I'll be here tomorrow right after school. We need to get started as quick as possible," she exclaimed.

"Audi, his house is right next door. We don't need to rush," I reminded her.

"Oh yeah, right," she grinned.

"So, see you tomorrow?"

"Yeah, I'll be here. Bye Bella," she gave me a hug before leaving the house.

"Bye," I waved goodbye.

I plopped myself back down on the couch. What the hell just did I just get myself into?

It's Friday already and my nerves are wrecking. I'm so nervous and I just want to ahhh!!! Scream. The party is in ten hours. Audi said that she had picked out my outfit for me. I'm kind of scared to see what she got me. She also says that this could be the day Blake tells me the truth so I just have to be there.

We're currently in school right now. Actually, we just barely arrived and school starts in 5 minutes. Audi has been really excited to see how many flowers she's going to receive today. I'm not concerned at all. The bell for homeroom had just rung.

"See you guys later," Audi waved goodbye. Blake and I waved back.

"So, are you going to my party?" Blake asked.

"Yeah, I have to. Audi is forcing me to go," I groaned.

"Let me guess, she picked out your outfit for you too huh?" he chuckled.

"Yes," I grunted.

"I wonder what she got," Blake said deep in thought.

"Of course you do. You just can't wait to see me dressed up as a hooker don't you," I teased.

"Wait, what?" he seemed to have just broke out of a daze.

"Nothing," I shook my head.

We walked in a comfortable silence after that. Homeroom passed by like a blur. We had also already gone through our first through fifth periods. This day has been going faster than I thought it would be. We had just arrived at our last period.

"Take a seats students today we will – " the teacher was cut off by a girl who entered the classroom.

"I'm here to pass out valentine flowers," she said in a sweet voice. The teacher gestured her to go ahead. She walked up and down the aisles several times. She had already given out all of the flowers except this huge bouquet of roses. All of the girls were leaning to see who it was meant to be for. I haven't received any, but like I said, I wasn't expecting to get one anyways. The girl then said the name who owned the bouquet of roses. This wasn't one that I expected.

"Bella Swan?" she asked. All of the girls in the room gasped. I could already hear their whispers of jealousy.

"Me?" I asked astonished.

"Yeah it says right here Bella Swan," she showed me the card that was attached to the roses then handed it to me.

"Thanks," I muttered before she left the room completely.

"Do you know who could have sent these?" I asked Blake. He just shrugged his shoulders.

I read the note it said:

I know that I just recently met you
But I can't help how you have made me feel
I have a bit of a crush on you
And that's all I got to say
Why did it happen? I do not know
Do I regret it? No I don't
I want to be a part of your life and be someone special to you
I want to keep your hugs and to stay at your side
Don't judge me for what I'm saying, but somehow I find myself liking you
I don't know how it happened, but I do hope I can stay at your side
And on this day I say to you, I like you
And there's nothing I can do about it
I've tried not feeling this way, but I can't help it
So please tell me that you feel the same way too….

- Your #1 fan

A smile unknowingly formed on my face. The poem was cute but it was so sweet. I looked around the classroom trying to see who could have possibly sent it, but no one seemed suspicious enough. I looked over to Blake but he was just sitting there as he smiled contently. I nudged him.

"What?" he whispered.

"You seriously have no idea?" I asked.

"Not that I would know of," he answered. He is no help at all.

School finally ended and I scurried off to find Audi. She was leaning against a wall while she held 6 roses in her hand.

"Audi!!" I shouted. Her eyes locked at the roses that I held and her eyes widened.

"Who sent you all those?" she asked amazed.

"I have no idea," I said. She took the note from me and read it.

"Do you think it could be him?" she suggested.

"I don't think so. I asked him if he knew who could have possibly sent it and he said no," I explained.

"It just doesn't add up," she replied frustrated.

"I guess you were wrong then," I sighed.

"No, I can't be wrong. Every single day, he's asking what you're up to or where you are. Then sometimes he asks me questions about you like, what's her favorite color or her favorite food. I just don't get it," he rubbed her temple. She knew that the whole time?!

"Wait, why didn't you tell me before?" I almost shouted.

"You denied your feelings in the beginning remember?" she reminded me.

"Okay, you have a point," I agreed.

"Let's just forget about this for now. Hey, at least someone really does like you," she lightened the mood. We chuckled.

"Come on. I bet you just can't wait to dress me all up," I teased.

"Speaking of that," she started, "We need to leave now, pronto."

"Okay"

We got into our cars and drove to my house. After we arrived, I tried to help her carry the things from the car but she wouldn't let me because she didn't want me to see the dress just yet. She carried the things while I went ahead and let myself in the house. My parents still weren't home yet. They called me yesterday and said that they planned a last minute trip to Miami because they needed Phil for a game. I didn't mind.

I sat patiently on the couch as I waited for Audi to come in. She came stumbling in a few minutes later with her hands full. She dropped them on the couch and sighed relieved.

"Phew!! Those were heavy," she exclaimed.

"You could have let me help you," I reminded her.

"Yeah, but that would have ruined everything," she smiled.

She walked over to me and handed me a large box. I raised my eyebrow at her.

"Go on, open it," she commanded.

I opened the box and gasped. The dress was beautiful. It was a blue dress with lace around it. It has a black ribbon underneath the bust and it had flower decorations made out of black lace. Underneath it were shiny black flats, a butterfly necklace, and blue butterfly earrings.

"It's beautiful," I said amazed.

"I knew you would like it. Also, I got you flats because I remember you saying that you weren't very coordinated," she laughed. She's so thoughtful!!

"Thank you so much," I bounced from my seat and gave her a tight hug.

"You're welcome Bella. Go on, try it on," she shooed me into the bathroom.

I got into the bathroom and changed into the outfit. I looked at myself in the mirror and I looked beautiful. I have never said that about myself before. I walked outside and twirled a bit for Audi. She wolf whistled before ordering me to sit down. She took out a small black pouch and scattered some make up materials on the table.

"Seriously?" I asked.

"Yeah, it'll tie your appearance up all together," she smiled.

She sat me on the chair and began working on me. She put on black eyeliner and mascara, blue eye shadow, and blue glitter all over my face.

"There you go, all done," she moved the chair and made me face the mirror. I gasped.

"You look gorgeous Bella," she commented.

"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you. You're the best!!" I gave her a huge hug.

"Watch out there, you're going to mess up your dress," she said as she began fixing the ruffles on my dress.

"How about your dress?" I asked. She smiled. I pushed her into the bathroom as well.

She came out wearing a black and red plaid dress with red strapped high heels. She wore a black heart necklace, ruby red heart earrings, a heart gold belt, black eyeliner and mascara, dark red lipstick, and red glitter. She looked awesome.

"You look so great!!" I exclaimed.

"I know, like my nails?" she held her nails up and she had a black coating on them.

"They look awesome," I replied.

"Come on, we should go," she suggested.

"Wow, it's 6 pm already?" I asked astonished.

"Yeah, we were dressing up for that long," she laughed.

She grabbed her black jeweled clutch and dragged me with her to the front door. As we neared Blake's house, the louder the music became. There must have been 50 bodyguards surrounding his house and over 300 paparazzi trying to get in!! Damn, this must be a really big party. Audi and I reached his front door and there was a suited man standing in front of it.

"Name?" he asked.

"Audi Jayson and Bella Swan," she answered.

"You're on the list. Go in," he gestured to the house.

Audi linked arms with me as we walked into his house. It was huge!! There were disco lights running everywhere around the house and music that was blasting at high volume. There was a huge table filled with food and drinks. A bunch of people were already here, even though the party had just started.

"Hey babe," Jeremy said as he snaked his arms around Audi's waist.

"Hello," she gave him a kiss on the cheek. I guess they're not that official yet.

"Do you mind if I steal her for a bit?" Jeremy asked.

"Go ahead," I motioned for them to go on.

"Are you sure Bella?" Audi asked unsure.

"Yeah, totally. I'll just explore," I laughed.

"Okay see you later," she laughed as Jeremy spun her around and brought her to the dance floor.

I sighed. Well, this is boring. I haven't seen Blake around because it's way too crowded. Holy shit!! Did I just see Beyonce?!?! Nah, I'm probably just imagining it. I walked around the place for a bit. I passed through the living room, the kitchen, and the main room. I looked to my left and saw a theater room. Blake is way too rich for his own good!! It's no wonder that he's so full of himself. I mentally laughed.

At the corner of my eye, I saw a door that must have led to a room. I was curious so I went to go check it out. As I opened the door, I gasped at the sight before me. What I saw broke my heart into little pieces. Again.

"Bella," he whispered.

"Umm, sorry. I'll go," I immediately shut the door closed and ran. I pushed all of the people in front of me and just burst through the front door.

"Listen to me," he said.

"What?" I shouted.

"I was the one who sent you the flowers. I wrote that note and everything I put in it is true. I'm falling for you Bella and I'm falling fast. I love your attitude, your smile, your laugh, your eyes, I love everything about you!! I wasn't kissing Stephanie back. She just trapped me in there and began kissing me, I tried to push her off but she just wouldn't get off. Please believe me," he pleaded. Was this true?

"I'm sorry, but I can't do this," I replied.

"How the hell did they get those pictures?" Blake's fists were clenched.

"I love you," I whispered.
