Chapter 3: Beautiful day

"Bella! Wake up! Come on! Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella!" Emmett was seriously annoying me now. He wouldn't shut the hell up. I was seriously starting to consider maybe throwing something at his head, like oh, I don't know…a baseball bat!

"What?!" I finally yelled snapping my head up to look at him. He had the biggest grin on his face.

"Come on Bells. We're going out today!" He said with enthusiasm. I dropped my body back to my bed, with a groan. I was in no mood to go out.

"Come on Bells. You need some fun." He said shaking me.

"No, I need some sleep. Now leave me alone." I said through gritted teeth.

"Bells, I know you're upset, and I promised you I wouldn't hurt Edward, but seriously. Come on now. You need to go out Bella." Emmett said in a serious but soft tone. I looked at him. His hazel eyes were sparkling, but filled with concern. I couldn't deny him anything, so with a sigh I finally agreed to get up.

"Good! Put on some clothes, we're going to that pancake house you love so much." With that he left my room, leaving my head swimming with questions. I decided to just do as he said and got my lazy butt up to go to the bathroom.

I brushed my teeth and shook my hair, leaving it messy. It was just the pancake house, no big deal. I didn't even look at my reflection. I grabbed a baby blue T-shirt that said, 'You think you're lonely? I just shot my boyfriend.' (HAHA! I wish they made a shirt like that...) And some white shorts with flip flops. I grabbed my favorite striped scarf and wrapped it around my neck twice, letting it pass over my chest, as it brushed my waist from its length. I turned to look at the mirror. Ok, so maybe I should brush my hair. I decided to brush through the knots, making IT as straight as possible, and then pinning it to the side with a silver clip. I shrugged and walked off downstairs to the living room to see everyone ready to go.

"Hey." My voice cracked as they turned to look at me. Rosalie and Alice were standing up there back to me as they looked like they were lecturing the guys.

"What?" I asked suddenly as they stared at me.

"Nothing." Alice said with a shrug. I looked at her suspiciously, but she wouldn't meet my gaze, she looked at Jasper the whole time. I sighed and walked towards the front door to leave. Everyone followed behind. We rode in Emmett's jeep. Rosalie was in the front holding his hand as Alice and Jasper sat in the back. Alice sat in between me and Jasper. I just stared at the window with my knees up to my chest.

The hole in my chest ached as memories of Edward and how he would make me sit on his lap instead of the seat. I sighed. How much I missed him, and his touch, his kisses, his compliments. The way he would get jealous if any guy would come with in a 10 mile radius of me. I was just a stupid girl in love trying to change what didn't need to be changed. He's Edward, and I should have known that I was going to get hurt.

I missed him though. I missed how he would call me every night to make sure I was ok, how he would stay at night, how he would sing me to sleep sometimes, how he would call me 'babe' in front of everyone so that they knew I was his. I missed how he would leave little kisses down my neck out of nowhere. I missed the shivers that would pass through my body, and how he would give me this lop sided smile, even though he didn't realize he was.

I always thought of that as my smile, because he would only give it to me. The way he would just pick me up out of nowhere. He doesn't even know that I like it when he does that, no one knows that, but I really do love it when he just picks me up and carries me around, like if he was sweeping me off my feet. I love how his eyebrows do this little thing that they bend down when he's thinking hard. I love his goofy laugh, like when he's laughing really hard he gives the funniest and silliest laugh ever. I love his facial expressions when he's making fun of someone, or when he's mad, they're so cute, they look even sexy on him. I shook my head trying to shake away the thoughts, as I closed my eyes trying to fall asleep and forget.

I felt someone picking me up, bridal style, and the movement made me wake up. I looked up to see Emmett's chin. I mentally cursed myself for the little hope in the back of my head that wished for someone else to be carrying me…him to be carrying me.

"Em?" I asked, my voice hoarse.

"Hey Bells." Emmett kissed my forehead as he put me down on the floor. "We're here." He said putting his large arm over my shoulder and taking me inside the pancake house. Everyone else was already sitting down waiting for me and Emmett. I sat all the way in the corner next to Emmett and the large window. Conversation was taking on around me but I didn't bother trying to listen.

"I know what you mean. I had the same problem with my lap top and Emmett didn't bother fixing it." Rosalie said while pointing at Emmett with her chin. Emmett and Alice were discussing some computer issue, and Jasper and I seemed to be the only ones not in the conversation. Jasper was studying me, with suspicion.

"What?" I mouthed to him. He shook his head.

"Guys I left my phone in the car, Bella want to come with me?" Jasper asked getting up. I shrugged and followed after him, the rest of the group staring at us intently. As we reached the parking lot Jasper turned to look at me.

"What's wrong?" He asked suddenly. I looked at him surprised. "Oh come on Bella. I'm not an idiot. I know you. Are you that upset over Edward?" He asked.

"Jasper, look, we came here so that I can forget about him." I said bitterly.

"Yea, but you're not forgetting." He said, not bothered by my harsh tone. I sighed.

"I'm trying, but, it's kind of hard when you know someone doesn't love you….." I said.

"Bella, Edward-" I didn't let him finish.

"It's ok." He looked at me skeptically, but let it go as he brought his long arms around me and pulled me into a hug. It felt nice, because he wasn't like Emmett, strong and bulky, and he wasn't feminine, like Alice and Rosalie. It felt like Edward, way much taller than me, and not too much muscle but still built with firm strong arms, and a hard chest. I hid my face into his chest. He doesn't know how much I needed that. I needed a hug from the one person that would break me if I even came an inch near them. So this was close enough and not painful in any way. It was no Edward, but it was somewhat there, and he was a great and close friend of mine. I sighed.

"Thanks. I needed that." I said as I pulled away. He chuckled.

"I figured." He said with a smile. I smiled back at him as we turned around to head for the pancake house.

"How did you know?" I finally asked him. He let out a low chuckle.

"I may not be Rose or Alice, or even Edward, but I'm not stupid." He said softly as he opened the door for me.

"Edward wouldn't have known something was wrong." I finally said with a sigh. Jasper put a hand on my back, and patted me softly.

"Don't be so sure Bella." He said, sure of himself. I shook my head and walked to our table. As I stepped in, the song 'Forget him' by Bobby Rydell came on. How ironic. I groaned and stomped my way over to my seat.

"You ok Bells?" Alice asked after she gave Jasper a kiss in the cheek.

"Yea." I said looking away from her. Stupid song.

"Good, because we're going clubbing tonight." She said firmly. My head snapped to her, but she wasn't looking at me.

"Alice….I'm not in the mood." I sighed. Alice looked at me.

"Too bad." She said with determination. I let out a frustrated breath but agreed nonetheless. Our pancakes arrived minutes later. I ate mine quietly, listening to the conversation around me.

"Jasper! You can't put so much syrup on a pancake." Alice shrieked.

"Yes you can." Jasper said in a 'duh' tone. Alice rolled her eyes.

"Alice, let the man have his pancakes…..you can't just boss him around like that!" Emmett laughed. "You don't see me letting Rosalie boss me around." Everyone looked at him wide eyed. I even dropped my fork. He did not just say that. Rosalie looked at him with a scary glare.

"Oh really Emmett?" She asked. Emmett snorted.

"I'm sorry Rose, but you can't tell me what to eat." He said with another snort.

"Come here." She pulled Emmett's face towards her, whispering something to him. Everyone in the table started snickering. Emmett's face turned into an 'O' and he nodded his head.

"Yes Rosie." He sighed. Rosalie smirked and turned her attention back to us. Emmett really shouldn't mess with her.

"Well, are we ready to go or what?" Alice finally stood. Jasper took out his wallet as the rest of us stood up too. Emmett was right, all this stuff with Edward had to be forgotten. As shitty as I felt, this was an over all good morning and somewhat afternoon, but one thing was for sure. Tonight was going to be crazy…I can feel it.

'Can I borrow that top? Let me borrow that top.''Shoes, shoes, omg shoes.' ok sorry total Kelly moment. lmao. Alright well, please review and tell me what you think! Por favor! Here are the 'BEAUTIFUL DAY' lyrics.

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town

You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere

You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day
