Pov: Bella

I was so lost in my thoughts and I now found myself pacing back in forth in Leah's room. The only thing I could think about was the kiss and I was sure that Leah was doing the same thing. But unlike me, she just sat on her bed and watched me pace back and forth and I can only imagine what she is thinking right now. And I was sure that she had a lot questions that she wanted to ask me, but she wasn't forcing me to talk or tell her what I was thinking, and I had to admit it was nice. Edward never did that, he was always making me tell him what I was thinking, and I'm starting to wonder why I always gave in to him.

"Um Bella." as soon as I heard hearing Leah say my name I stop and look at her. "If it's ok could you maybe sit down for a minute. I mean you have been pacing like that for about an hour, and you're still hurting."

I didn't realize I had been pacing for so long, but now I could feel just how tired I was, so I sat down next her.

"So I kissed you."

"Yes, you did, and I must say you're a very good kisser." hearing her say that made me to bless.

"Um….." I could tell by the look on her face that she was enjoying this.

"Sorry, I couldn't help myself."

"This isn't something we should be joking about."

"I wasn't joking that was an amazing kiss." and again, my face lit up like a Christmas tree. "But are you sure that you wanted to kiss me?"

"I'm the one that kissed you remember."

"Trust me ill never forget that. But after the kiss you went silent, so I need to ask you, how did the kiss make you feel?"

I had been so caught up in what the kiss had meant that I hadn't thought about how I felt about it.

"As soon as I kissed you I felt happy and safe." the answer just slipped out, but it was the truth, I just wasn't sure if it was the answer she was hoping for. But when she took my hand, and I saw that she was smiling, I knew that it was.

"That's good to hear." she then started getting closer to me, and it took me a second to realize that she was trying to kiss. But before she could I hurried and got up. "I was so close."

"Ok look I liked the kiss, but I am still dating Edward so….."

"So you can't kiss me, I had a feeling you were going to say that. But you can't blame me for trying now can you." I couldn't help but smile as she said that. "So Bella what happens now?"

That was a good question, but at the same time I wasn't sure. I know I have feelings for Leah, but my feeling for Edward are still there, only they're now different.

"My feelings are so confusing. I mean I still love Edward, But at the same time I'm also in love with you." my hand covers my mouth as soon as I said I love you, as for Leah she just stared at me. And wile It might not have meant to say it, the truth is that I am in love with Leah.

"Did you just say..."

"Yes."

"Did you mean it?"

"Yes." when I said yes, she stood up and walked over to me. "But I love Edward too."

"I don't care, you just said that you love me, so that no kissing thing..."

She didn't finish what she was saying, she just started kissing me. And at that moment, I no longer cared about anything, I just wanted this feeling last forever. But as soon as we stopped kissing ever thing came rushing back.

"Ok, I'll let you have that one."

"Thank you, but if you think I'm going to stop kissing you Bella, then you are crazy."

I laughed as she said that, even though I knew that she wasn't kidding. I needed to say something, but with her this close to me It was hard to think. And of course she was having way too much fun and wasn't going to let me move away. "I think that I need to talk to Edward." and soon as I said that Leah flinched, and I had a feeling that she was thinking about what happened last time I talked to him. "With everything going on, I think I should let him know that we need to take a break."

"I see, so that means you won't be his girlfriend any more right. "

I could tell she was up to something, and it made me nervous. "I guess."

"So i can kiss you then."

"The whole point of me doing this, is to figure out how I feel."

"I know." when she said that I couldn't help but notice her smile and I could only imagine what she was thinking right now. "And I'm more than happy to give you all the time you need. But please tell me you aren't going to tell him this in person, again."

When she asked me that, the memory of what had happened last time played in my mind.

"I think a phone call will be fine this time."

"Sounds fun, so lets call him."

"I need to do this alone."

I could tell that Leah didn't want that, but as long as I wasn't going to see him in person then I should be ok.

"Ok Bella if that's what you want." she then moved closer again, and I backed away.

"Nice try, but no kissing."

As I said that she smiled.

"I know I can't kiss you…. Yet."


Pov: leah

I still couldn't believe that Bella had just told me that she loved me, or that she was going to take a break from the loch. And yes, I know that it's not a true break up, But that was ok because she now sees me as more than a friend. But I still wish she would have let me listen to the conversation between her and leach. But she wanted to do it alone, and I understood why.

"Leah what's going on?" as I heard my mom's voice I turned around and found her standing behind me. "You and Bella were in your room for a wile." when I didn't say anything she folded her arms, she then looked out the kitchen window. "Wait, why is Bella outside?"

"She needed to make a call."

My mom could tell something was up, but I did my best to avoid her by getting something to eat.

"I know something is going Leah, so tell me."

"She is calling the leach."

"Why?"

She was obviously upset to hear that Bella was calling him after what he had done.

" Because Its safer to talk to him on the phone than in person."

"Why does she need to talk to him at all?"

"To break up with him, well, kind of."

She was defiantly surprised by what I had just said, but she was also worried.

"How do you know he won't talk her into staying with him.

"A feeling." I didn't my best not to look her in the eye, but I also knew that she wasn't going to let it go.

"Leah tells me or I'll have to ask Bella."

That wasn't far Bella wouldn't be about to hold back, and she would break down and tell her everything. So I gave in and told her what she wanted.

"We kissed."

"You kissed Bella." I could see she was a little upset, she probably thought that I had taken advantage of her.

"No, she kissed me. She then told me that she was in love with me."

"So she's dumping him."

"Yes any no, she is telling him that they need to take a break."

"That's still better than how things were, but to be safe I'm going to let Sam know"

"What?" the last thing I wanted was for Sam or the boy to hear about this.

"Don't worry, I'm only going to tell them about the break up." she then shook her head at me, and walked over to the phone. "But tell me, why aren't you out there with her."

"She needed to do this alone."

She seemed to understand, and so did I, but I I couldn't help but worry about what he might say to her. It didn't take long for my mom to explain everything to Sam, but Bella seemed to be on the phone fore forever, but after about an hour she finally walked back inside.

"So how did it go?"

"He got upset, but luckily Alice was there and took the phone away from him, and after I explained everything she told me to do what I needed to do."

When my mom walked back into the room she had a look that told me she was up to something.

"Mom, what did you do?"

"Nothing."

"Mom."

"Fine I called Charlie."

Bella and I both froze when she said that. "What did you tell him."

"Only that Bella was talking a break from Edward, and that she thought that staying here for a while would be a good idea."

"But I have school." I was surprised that Bella wasn't upset.

"He said as long as you make it to school every day that he was fine with you staying here as long as you need."

"Bella are you ok with this?"

"I had a feeling that this was going to happen." she had me there, from the moment I told my mom what was going on I should have seen this coming.

"Then it's settled, oh but Charlie will be coming over for diners while you stay here but not tonight, I told him you need time."

With that she walked into the kitchen and started making dinner.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yes, besides, it's better this way, because if I was home Edward could just show up in my room and make me talk to him."

"I see, but won't stay here make it hard to figure out your feelings?"

"No, in fact, I think it will help."

When she said that, I leaned in to kiss her only to be stopped by her putting a finger to my lips.

"But one rule, no kissing me."

I really didn't like that rule. "That's not fair."

"Sorry, but I need time, so you will just have to wait till I kiss you." as she said that she froze. "I mean no kissing at all."

"Yeah, I'm going to with the first one, after all you did kiss me first." as I said that she started blushing, she went in the kitchen, and started helping my mom with dinner, so I did the same.
