Hey guys I'm so sorry it took forever for me to get this to you. I just moved back home from Ireland and had to get settled back in. Thanks for waiting for this and I hope I don't make you wait that long again.

I hope that you enjoy this chapter, please let me know what you think.

"What the hell," Edward looked over my shoulder at the kitchen door. I followed his gaze and saw our four friends standing there.

"Rose? Alice?" It wasn't the fact that they were at the house that made me confused. It was the fact that Rose was in Emmett's clothes and Alice was wearing Jasper's clothes. And from the looks of their hair and makeup the two had spent the night here.

"Hey Bella," Alice skipped over to me. She sat down next to me and started to pick at the omelet.

I slapped her hand away, "Excuse me I was eating that."

"Did Edward make you one of his famous omelets," she wiggled her eyebrows then looked between Edward and I.

"Alice just let Bella," I loved the sound of my name on his lips, "eat her breakfast. And while she does can you explain to me what you and Rosalie are doing here, and why the hell are you in Jasper's clothes?" Edward raised his eyebrow at Alice then looked over at Jasper with a more serious look.

"Oh shut up Eddie," Alice reached over the table and hit him in the shoulder. "Last night Rose," Rose came and sat down at the head of the table next to me, "and I were very worried about Bella. Emmett brought us to the apartment but Bella wasn't there so we made the boys bring us here. First we looked in your room but she wasn't there and neither were you," Alice raised her eyebrow at Edward. "We started to worry a little bit before Jasper found the two of you in the guest room."

"So I guess what the real questions are," Rose leaned forward placing her elbows on the table, "why was Bella here and not at our apartment, why were the two of you sleeping in the same room, and in the same bed?" Jasper and Emmett sat down at the two remaining sets and the four of them looked between Edward and me.

"Ummm," I looked down at my food not knowing what to say. Part of me didn't want to be alone due to the earlier events but another part of me just wanted to be close to Edward last night. I was afraid that if I tired to explain a blush would give me away.

"Well, when we got to the apartment Bella realized that she didn't bring a key with her so I brought her back here with me. We watched TV for a while and then Bella fell asleep. I brought her up to the guest room but I didn't want to leave her by herself," I could feel his eyes on me, "after everything that happened." I looked down for most of it and continued to eat the rest of my breakfast.

Alice and Rose exchanged looks then they both looked at me. "Bella can you come upstairs with us please," Alice asked as the two of them stood up.

"Sure," I gave Edward a small smile then stood up and followed the two out of the kitchen.

They started to walk up the stairs and to the guest room. Just looking at the bed brought back the memories of waking up in his arms. I had the best nights sleep last night and I knew it was because I was close to Edward. Logic said I should have been up all night with nightmares of Mike and what he had done to me but for the most part all I dreamt about was Edward. I dreamt of all the things we could do together if we were a couple, of all the fun we would have. We wouldn't have to do anything crazy as long as we were together I knew we would have fun.

Alice sat down on the bed followed by Rose, "Please sit down Bella." I sat down at the foot of the bed, Alice and Rose scooted down to sit on either side of me. "Bella we are both so sorry," I looked over at Alice and she had tears in her eyes.

"Alice," I wrapped my arms around her, "it is okay."

"No Bella," she pulled back whipping her eyes with the back of her hands, "we should have been watching you better."

"Bella," Rose put her hand on my knee, "what happened last night? I know I shouldn't bring it up and if you aren't ready to talk about it don't feel like you have to. I just want you to know that I'm here for you if you ever want to talk."

I told them the story of what happened to me last night, part of me didn't want them to know but a bigger part of me thought it was for the best to get it out there now instead of waiting. Both of them were very upset when I talked about how I didn't tell them were I was going because I thought they were having so much fun. Looking back on it I should have told them, no mater what they were doing. And if I thought they were upset at that part then they were absolutely livid when I told them it was Mike.

"You mean the little shit that we met at the mall," Rose was pacing back-and-forth in front of Alice and me. All I could do was nod my head, Rose was a little scary when she was mad. "When I find that son-of-a-bitch I'm going to kill him with my bare hands. He will wish he was never born when I get done with him," she cracked her knuckles.

"Rose as sweet as that is," and it really was sweet of her to say that in a weird way, "I just want to put it past me. Plus I think you'll have get inline behind Edward to hurt Mike." I tried to laugh it off but it didn't come out right, because as much as I wanted to make fun of it that was the truth. I knew deep down that Edward really would hurt Mike if they ever ran into each other again.

"Bella, you know he would only do that because he cares about you," Rose sat down next to me.

"I think he more then cares about you," Alice bumped her side into me while wiggling her eyebrows. Leave it to Alice to lighten the mood, all three of us started to laugh.

"Yeah right," I rolled my eyes and then fell back on the bed.

Alice and Rose fell back next to me, "Come on Bella you have to know how he feels about you."

"Guys, he is just my friend," I wanted to believe what they were saying but I was scared to. I didn't want to get my hopes up too much just to be let down. My face fell thinking about it, last night there seemed to be so much potential but in the light of day I wasn't so sure.

"Bella, I know my brother," Alice looked at me, "and I know that he doesn't usually act like this with girls. You are special to him." A small blush crawled across my face even though I didn't want it to.

"Awww, look at her blush," Rose chuckled next to me.

"Shut up," I playfully hit her in the arm. "Oh and what about you guys?" I looked at Alice then to Rose. "What happened last night with you and the guys?" There was silence, "Huh, huh guys? I know there is a story so don't try to hid it from me. I understand why you came looking for me but why is it that the two of you are in Jasper and Emmett's clothes?" I wiggled my eyebrows at them.

"So once we found the two of you last night," Alice started to giggle, "the four of us stayed up in the living room talking. Well for the most part I talked with Jasper and Rose was busy with Emmett," again she started to giggle and it felt like there was a story behind that.

"Rose," I looked to my right at Rose who was blushing. "Rosalie did something happen last night between you and my big brother," I started to giggle.

"Oh shut up Bella," she hit me in the arm.

"Rose, you never answered the question," Alice spoke up as she started to laugh as well.

"A girl never kisses and tells," Rose stuck her tongue out at the two of us.

"What," both Alice and I sat up looking at Rose who was laughing.

"Rose are you saying what I think you are saying," did she really kiss Emmett last night?

"Well if you think I just said I kissed Emmett last night, then yes." I couldn't help but start to giggle and soon the others were doing the same. Alice and I fell back down onto the bed and the three of us laughed so hard we were crying.

"How was it," Alice asked.

"It was…" Rose got a far of look in her eyes and a goofy looking grin on her face.

"That good, huh," Alice had the same grin on her face.

"Alice, what happened last night between you and Jasper?" She was acting too much like Rose so something must have happened.

She started to giggle, "Well…"

"You and my brother," Rose looked over at Alice and start to laugh harder.

"We only kissed once and it was very short but," she trailed off, "it was incredible."

"Awww, you guys are going to be so cute together. And you and Emmett too Rose," I was really happy for my two friends but I couldn't help but feel a little jealous, I wish I could say the same happened with Edward and I.

"That is if Edward doesn't kill Jasper when he finds out," she laughed a little but there was a worried look on Alice's face.

"Would he really do that," I couldn't believe that Edward would act like that. "Wouldn't he be happy that his sister and his friend like each other? He already knows Jasper is a good guy so he doesn't have to worry about the two of you."

"Yeah I guess so," she started to play with the hem of her shirt. "I just hope that is how it goes. Last night we talked about so many things, I really like him guys."

"Well you already know what I think of the two of you together," Rose leaned over me to get Alice a quick hug. "I think you guys will be so good together."

"I also think that you and Emmett will be good together Rose," once she was done with Alice's hug I gave her one. "Now a more important question, were did the two of you sleep last night?" I again wiggled my eyebrows at the.

Alice hit me on my shoulder, "We were going to sleep in the guest room but somebody," she poked me in the chest, "was already there. So the two of us had to sleep in Edward's room."

I started to laugh, "I'm sure that Edward will be happy about that."

"Yes I'm sure he will," Rose giggled.

"Oh, oh now we just need to get you and my dear brother on board and the three of us can start to triple date," Alice bounced up and down next to me clapping her hands.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," I wanted that so bad. Things were going great for my friends and I wished that it could happen to me too. I was tired of being left behind while others got what they wanted. Then again I knew I would never do anything about it. I just wasn't that type of person but sometimes I wish I was.

Just then there was a knock at the door and Emmett stuck his head in. "Hello ladies," I couldn't help but notice the way his eyes lingered on Rose. "I was wondering if I could have a moment to speak with Bella," he looked down at his feet, "alone."

"Of course," the girls got up and left the room leaving Emmett and me alone.

"Hi," I wasn't sure what else there was to say.

"Hey," Emmett was still looking down at his feet. Slowly he made is way to the bed and sat down next to me. He was quit for so long then he let out a big sigh.

"Brother bear," I moved closer to him, "is there something wrong?

He turned his body to face mine and the look on his face nearly broke my heart, "I'm so sorry little sis." He pulled me into his side, I felt like I couldn't breath he was holding on too tight but I wasn't going to say anything about it.

"What are you sorry about," I tried to look up at him.

"Last night," I couldn't see his face but his voice cracked. "That never should have happened. I should have been there for you. I'm supposed to be your brother Bella, I'm supposed to protect you from bad things. I'm so sorry," he pulled me even closer and kissed the top of my head.

Tears were falling down my face from Emmett's little speech. I pulled away from Emmett and looked him in the eyes, "Emmett you need to listen to me. Last night was not your fault at all," he looked down at his hands. I placed my hands on the sides of his face and made him look at me. "You are the best brother any girl could ever ask for." A single tear fell down my face, "Bad things are going to happen to me brother bear, sometimes you will be able to stop them but other times you won't. That is just the way life is and when the bad things do happen the only thing you can do is be there for me. Sit with me and hold me close, let me cry all my tears, and just be there for me."

"I can do that," he held me tight.

I hadn't let myself truly think about what could have happened last night if Edward hadn't found me when he did. But sitting there with Emmett holding me I let it all sink in. I let myself feel everything and I couldn't stop the tears. Emmett held me through it all running his hands through my hair and telling me nothing bad could hurt me now. I cried until I couldn't cry any longer and then I just sat there curled up into Emmett's side. Finally after what felt like hours I pulled away. "Thanks brother bear," I gave him a small kiss on the cheek. "Oops I might not want to do that, I don't want Rose kicking my ass for making a move on her man," I gave him a wink and nudged him in the shoulder.

"She told you about that then," he rubbed the back of his neck with one of his hands.

"Yes and I think it is great."

"Really? I know it sounds weird but I want to make sure this is okay with you. She is your roommate and I'm your 'brother' I don't want to overstep any boundaries."

"You are not overstepping any boundaries. I'm really happy for the two of you. All I want is for the two of you to be happy and I think she is good for you and you for her," I gave him a friendly brother-sister hug.

"Thanks little sis I'm really happy to hear that."

"But as her friend I need to know what you think about her. I don't want her to get hurt," his face fell, "not that I think you would hurt her. I just have to make sure, because if you hurt my friend I will have to hurt you," I tried to look serious but I knew it wasn't working. "And you should know that if Rose every hurts you I am going to have to kick her ass."

"Awww, you would do that for me little sis?"

"Of course, someone has to watch your back brother bear," we both started to laugh at the idea of me kicking Rose's ass. But I was telling the truth, I loved the two of them dearly and I would stick up for them no matter who hurt them.

"I really like her Bella," I looked into his eyes and could tell he was telling the truth. "I've never felt like this for a girl and it happened so fast. All I know is that she makes me feel good inside and I never want to do anything to lose that feeling. I just hope that she likes me half as much as I like her," it was truly special to see and hear Emmett like this. He was so open with me and I was grateful that he trusted me so much.

"I'm so happy for you brother bear," I didn't know what else to say.

"So what about you and Eddie," Emmett wiggled his eyebrows at me.

"Gosh, you sound like Rose and Alice," I rolled my eyes.

"Oh come on, I see the way you look at him. Don't try to tell me that you don't like him. You are a bad liar Bella."

"Alright fine then I won't try to lie to you," I folded my arms in front of my chest.

"Ha ha ha, so I guess you aren't going to say anything then?"

"You got that right," I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Now who is the one acting like Alice and Rose," we both started to laugh and he messed up my hair even more then it already was. "Well I guess we should get going downstairs," Emmett stood up. "The others are probably wondering what is taking us so long. Wouldn't want Rose to get the wrong idea," he wiggled his eyebrows at me then pulled me off the bed.

"Yes I would hate for her to kick my ass," I faked a worried look on my face.

"Don't worry I would try to protect you little sis."
