Edward's POV

As soon as I heard Bella's answer to the question I somehow managed to trip myself while trying to sneak upstairs again. Guess what? Now I'm lying flat on my face in front of everyone, and unless they have gotten blind and deaf in the last few seconds, they probably already saw me. Just my luck! That's what you get for spying on girls. I made a mental note to never spy on young women again. I slowly lifted my head when I heard a giggle. It came from my right. Exactly to my right. Someone was right next to me, and I didn't know who. How can they sneak up on me? Oh, right. I was too busy thinking to notice anything except the slight blush – I never blush – that was creeping up my cheeks threateningly.

"Naughty boy! Were you spying on us Edward?" I heard Bella ask. She was teasing me. She was teasing me as if I wasn't just caught spying on them doing Truth or Dare, and that I heard her admit that she loved me. Wait. Maybe she doesn't know that I heard her say that. Yeah, I'll take my chances. I just have to hope that my clueless attitude will help me through the most embarrassing moment of my life. Way to go Edward. Now you have to act dumb.

I turned to face my right and Bella was kneeling beside me. Her expression was smug, but I could see that deep in her eyes she was worried. Guess my plan to play dumb should start now.

"Um… No? Besides, why would girl talk interest me? I just came down to get water." I grinned a toothy grin. She smiled back at me, but her eyes tightened. She knew I wasn't telling the truth. I will never become a good actor. I can't even lie.

"LIAR! I saw you near the stairs the whole time!" Alice yelled. Thanks Ali. Thank a lot. She completely blew my cover, but she was only a child. I couldn't do anything about that.

"Ha! No way! So Edward here was spying on us! I wonder why…" Alyssa burst out. Her eyes clouded over as if she was in another world. She's probably thinking that I was spying to get information and gossip out of them. She was half right. I wanted to know if they ever talked about boys, and they apparently do. I also wanted to figure out Bella's emotion about certain people. To be more precise, me. I managed to find a lot in a few minutes, and for that I was glad. Now if only I could…

What are you thinking Edward? You just found out the love of your life loves you back! And now you're thinking of ways to escape! You have a messed up mind Edward! Clear it up!

A voice in the back of my head warned me. It was right though. I did find out that Bella loved me. Bella loved me. That sounded nice.

Bella loved me.

Ok, I have to get over it and get used to it. Let's see… What shall I say next? Can't play dumb anymore, everyone knows that I know, Bella who was still next to me – but I think it was because she froze when Alice yelled – was so red it was scary, and I was still lying on the ground. Lots of problems to escape, huh?

A knock sounded at the door. I looked outside from my position which was quite hard and saw that the sun was going down, it was almost dark. The purple shadows covered every corner in the room. I got up and went to the door, and when I twisted the knob to open it up I heard a lot of footsteps right behind me. I eased the door open, and in front of me, amazingly, was Renee. I wasn't expecting her, but the girls were since no one besides me looked shocked. What in the world was she doing here? She was supposed to be at a spa enjoying her time! Maybe she's just visiting, making sure that Bella is behaving and having a good time.

"Hi Renee! Um, would you like to come in?" Was my automatic invite. I gestured for her to come in, and opened the door a bit wider. By now, the footsteps have grown quiet again. Instead, I heard a lot of shuffling coming from the direction of the couches and some whispers. Then a shout directed up the stairs, I guessed, saying, "Daddy, Mommy! We have a guest! Renee is here!"

I recognized Alice's squeaky high-pitched voice and once Renee walked in with a wide smile I shut the door behind her. I didn't bother to lock it. Sounds were coming from upstairs and surprised gasps were being heard.

"Hey Mom, remember the tour? I want Edward to come, but I haven't been able to ask him yet."

Tour? What tour? Bella wanted me to come? Why was Renee here? So many questions and surprises.

"Ah, Edward. I have to hear him sing you know? Oh, hello Carlisle! Esme! I'm sorry to bother you! But this is quite important you see! As a mom, I said Bella could stay for a few months! But…" Tears welled up in Bella's eyes as Renee trailed off. What was she saying? What did she mean by that simple 'but'? And why does she need to hear me sing?

"I see. Well, what is this about a tour I keep hearing about? And what were you about to say? That is, if you don't mind me asking." I heard Carlisle say. Esme's smile was slowly become more of a frown with each word that was said. At least she was understanding more of this than I was.

"I'm sorry guys. I think I'll go get something from the kitchen. Alice do you want to come? Rose?" Alyssa interrupted with a panicky look on her face. That's when Jake entered the living room, looking quite sleepy.

"Oh, hey Renee! What are you doing here? Don't tell me…" He trailed off. Why does everyone keep trailing off? Is that the new way to speak? I watched as Renee carefully nodded, apparently answering Jacob's unfinished question or statement.

"No thank you Alyssa. I want to stay and I demand for you people to tell me what's happening!" Rose shouted, Alice quickly agreeing.

"As a manager of a rock star… I'm afraid to say that this temporary thing can no longer be. Meaning that… Bella has to leave you all. Not now, but soon. Maybe in a month or so. Oh, Edward can you please sing me something? I need to hear you." Renee explained. Only a month left? With Bella? Then after, I'll never see her in flesh again? I think I'm going to die. I had to make my move soon. At least do something so that she won't ever forget me. Anything! I needed to so something!

Wait. Did she just say sing?

"Why do you need to hear me sing?" I asked, carefully examining her face, then Bella's. Bella was blushing yet again, but she was less red than she was earlier. That was good.

"Bella has a special tour coming up. And we made an agreement that she could have anyone she wanted with her, as long as that person can sing. She has recommended you, so now it's my turn to check. Please, proceed."

Demanding much? I decided to sing anyway; at least I was confident enough in my voice. And I also would have a chance to spend more time with Bella! I sang the song that I sang when trying out for choir. It got a standing ovation, so surely it must not be that bad. When I was done, Renee had no expression on her face. Did that mean I was bad?

"Thank you Edward. I will get back to you. Now, Bella looks like she is doing fine. But I must warn you, that if her secret gets out, we have to take her away. I'm sorry." Renee told us all in a solemn voice. A pang shot through my heart once again. Would it ever stop? Renee looked at everyone, but her gaze rested on me a bit longer than everyone else's. What was that supposed to mean? Did she know about my love for her daughter? Would it affect my chances on going on the tour? If it did, I hoped that it would weigh the chances to my side of the scale.

"I'm sorry for disturbing you all. I have to go now, even though this was such a short visit. Thank you for taking care of Bella all this time, and I hope she's not being too much trouble." Bella kept blushing. She really needs to see herself more clearly.

"She's no trouble at all. If anything, she is helpful. We have to thank you for letting us have her." Esme responded kindly. For some reason, it seemed like the only answer someone could give, but I knew somewhere deep inside of me, that she meant it. She enjoyed having Bella with us. Did she know about my love too? Oh, wait. She was the one that helped me realize it. Of course she would know. I smiled at her, and she smiled at me back. Her heart-shaped face was soft and in her eyes I saw nothing but honesty. I believed that more than anything, Bella brought our family closer than ever. And I loved her even more for it.

Renee had to leave then, and we all bid her farewell. Tomorrow would be Sunday, and I had the day to myself. I was probably going to end up lazing around the house like I usually did. And then it would be Monday. But this Monday would be different. Because I wouldn't let Bella ignore me or avoid me. I would go to extremes just to make her talk to me. Even one word would be an improvement. I couldn't wait until Monday.


June 9th – 7:00 AM

Bella's POV

I got up a bit later than I usually did. Another Monday, another day of trying to avoid Edward, but now I had an even bigger reason to avoid him. He knew I loved him. Sad, huh? He knew, but I didn't know his feelings for me. How unfair can life get?

I got up and got a pair of dark boot cut jeans and a tank top. The tank top was light blue with a big smiley face in the middle. It was childish looking, but I loved it all the same. I went to the bathroom and since no one was already in there, I entered, shutting and locking the door behind me. I stripped out of my clothes, turned on the shower, and jumped in. As I closed my eyes so the water wouldn't enter it, my hands were searching for my strawberry scented shampoo. When I found it, I felt a paper stuck to it. I opened my eyes to find Edward's neat handwriting scribbled on it.

Hope you don't mind me using this shampoo. I got you a new bottle.

Edward

Wow, he's using my shampoo? That's the first person to actually do that. At least he got me a new bottle. The old one was running out. I squirted some shampoo into my hand and lathered my hair with it.

Once I was done with my shower I got dressed, and then I went to get some breakfast. I poured some Cheerios into a bowl and then poured the milk. I slurped it all up, and went to brush my teeth and get my backpack. Edward, Jake, and Alyssa were all waiting for me by the time I got to Edward's Volvo. Oh, great, I was the one that held everyone up. Edward grinned at me before starting the engine. We were on our way to school, and maybe today would be different. Maybe.

"Yes, Edward?" I said, but it sounded like a shout, it was so quiet in here. Silence.
