Chapter 8. Secret Time

I drove her to the clinic, after she talked with Jasper, never saying a word. I wasn't that I didn't want to talk. I wanted to know when it had happened, and when she had found out. I wanted to know everything. But I was scared. I was scared that anything I said would make her even sadder than she was.

Finally when we got there I parked in as parking place as far away from the place as possible. Neither one of moved.

"What do you want to do Alice? Are you going to keep it, or have an abortion?" I asked as she we waited in the car outside the clinic. She hadn't told me yet what she wanted to do, since she has already talked to Jasper that morning and broke up with him. But she didn't tell him about the baby.

"I have no idea." She whispered. And we just sat there waiting, never talking, never moving, Jasper on both of our minds.

Alice's talk with Jasper—APOV

Right after I found out about my baby I was shocked. I couldn't move, I couldn't speak, and I couldn't do anything. Actually I found out the day that Kyle had let it slip out that Jasper and Bella had gone out with each other for two years, well on the night of. I had been so angry, but not at Bella. Anyway, Jasper had been the one to break up with her, and for the most horrid reasons of them all.

I knocked on Jasper's door loudly and as angrily as I could. He deserved everything I was going to shove at him. "Get out here!" I yelled.

Jasper answered the door, probably due to the fact that Edward didn't get up until ten.

"Alice?" He said, "Oh, Alice, I am so sorry." He pleaded, but I didn't buy it.

"You are such a pig, and I hate you. You had sex with a fourteen year old. I can't even think about that, you horrible…horrible," I struggled to find a word to insult him with. And when I cussed, it was a one-time thing. I didn't cuss ever, well until now, "Bastard!"

"Alice—" I cut him off, too mad to hear him speak.

"If you hadn't guessed it already, we are over. I hate you. You weren't the person I thought you were." And with that, I slammed the door in his face.

Later that night—BPOV

We were in my dorm room; Alice was already asleep, when there was a knock on the door. I sighed and turned the TV show I was watching down to a low volume.

I looked through the peephole on my door and sighed angrily. Why was he always bugging me?

"Hello, Edward." I said through my teeth as I opened the door to his too perfect face. If other players before hadn't fooled me, I might have just gone out with him already, but I knew what he wanted. I wouldn't even be surprised if he had some sort of bet going with his friends, or if he just wanted to see for himself if he could get me into bed. "What do you want?" It was being a bit harsh, but I really wasn't in the mood.

"Look, Bella," Then I noticed that he was hiding something behind his back, "I know you don't trust me, and act like you don't like me at all—"

"Act?" I questioned.

"Please, let me finish." I sighed and nodded, he continued. "Like I was saying, I know you don't like me, but I really like you. I brought you flowers." He said as he pulled out a big bouquet of daises, by favorite.

I couldn't help but smile as I took them from him and walked into the kitchen and put them in a vase. It was weird, but when people do that in movies, it usually means the giver of the flowers and the taker have a silent agreement that the giver can come in. This wasn't the case, but Edward thought otherwise.

When I turned around after putting the flowers down on the coffee table there he was right in my face. Before I could say anything in protest to him being in here, he grabbed my wrist and led me to the couch where he sat me down and he plumped down right next to me.

"In order for you to trust me, I'll probably have to do some things to make you know that you can trust me, and that I trust you. First, I'll tell you a secret."

I had always been a sucker for secrets, though I always kept them, I couldn't help but love them. I just loved to hear what usually no one else knew. It made me feel special.

He closed his eye and took a deep breath before opening them again. "I'm a virgin." He said simply.

My eyes widened and my hand immediately flew to my mouth in shock. "What?" I asked in shock. The Edward Cullen was a virgin? I wasn't even a virgin.

"I mean I mess around, and I make noise to make Jasper think I actually go all the way, but I never have. And I hope this makes you trust me a bit more." He smiled wryly.

I was never going to let him live this down. "I'm not even a virgin." I teased him as my words mirrored my thoughts. I laughed and he smiled, embarrassed.

"Yeah, yeah, laugh all you want." He smiled again, which made me laugh even harder. After a moment I fell off the couch and onto the floor. At the moment it was the funniest thing I had ever heard.

When I was finally done laughing, and after teasing Edward a bit more, my mouth surprised me. "I'll tell you what, Edward. I will be friends with you," He smiled as if he had just shot someone he hated. "But that is all. Just friends." I quickly added.

His face fell a bit, but he was still very happy, I could tell. I sighed as I leaned in to give him a hug. When I touched him, when I was in his arms, it seemed like I belonged there, that I should never ever move, because this was where I should always be. I sighed after a minute and purposely coughed to get Edward's attention.

"Oh, sorry, only friends." He said as he raised his hands and I pushed him out of my room, shutting the door behind him.
