AN So, because of all your great, amazing reviews I decided to write this chapter for you ASAP. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

I don't own Twilight. ):

EPOV

I woke up drearily the next morning only thankful for one thing in my life. It was Saturday.

I really wanted to tell Bella how I felt about her. That I loved her. When I saw her walking towards me on the beach I though it was a miracle, an answer from God that I wouldn't have to go and seek her out.

When I got up and started walking towards her she looked panicked. Why? I had no idea.

I finally got close enough to her so that I could proclaim to her my love for her and that I would never let her go unless she wished me away.

But right before I could get out my words she ran away from me.

Maybe she changed her mind and didn't want me anymore. That thought made the already-there pain in my chest come full force, ripping my heart into pieces.

When I got home that night I told Emmett what had happened and he told me that I was wrong and that she still loved me. Yeah whatever Emmett.

Oh and did I forget to mention my run-in with Lauren?

Long story straight, after Bella ran away from me Lauren found me and told me she could provide me with pleasure I'd never felt before, I replied 'along with an STD.' and then I walked away. That girl was like a public bathroom, used by almost everyone and rarely cleaned. Gross.

I heard my phone ring and I glanced at the caller ID hoping that by some small chance that it could be my Bella. Nope, it was Carlisle.

"Hey dad what's up?"

"Nothing son. I just got a call from my buddy Ross Singleton and he informed me of the favor you asked of him."

"Yes… what about it?"

"He looked it over and approved! And he's willing to keep it a secret until you tell her about it!"

"Really!? That's great dad! Tell him thanks for me."

"I will son. But how are you, Emmett told me about the Bella situation."

"I'm good." I lied quickly, but Carlisle was the only person, other than her, who could read me well enough to know when I was lying. Alice was quickly becoming one of them. Shudder.

"Edward, be honest please."

"Fine, I am brokenhearted and I miss her. I just want her back in my arms so that I can fix all her problems and wiped away all of her tears. I want her back so much that it burns when she's away. Part of me is missing and I'm just not myself anymore."

"Edward, give her time. Love always finds away. Be patient and find a way to show her that you still care and love her."

"Yeah, thanks dad. I got to go, I told Em and Jazz that I would work out with them today."

"Take it easy on them, I love you."

"Haha, I will, love you too."

I hung up my phone and undressed. I went to my dresser and pulled on a pair of navy basketball shorts and a gray cut-off shirt. I rifled through my closet and found my old pair of Nikes and went out into the kitchen.

Emmett was drinking his daily protein shake, "Hey Eddo! What's crack-a-lackin?"

"What the fuck Em? Are you a gangster now?"

"Damn straight bro."

Jazz walked in and looked at Emmett with a disturbing face. "Emmett you are a fucktard and Rose will drop your ass in a second if she ever heard you say that. Just a forewarning."

"Warning received, mission gangster is aborted." My brother was seriously a doucher.

I made a batch of eggs for each of us along with some toast. I wasn't much of a cook but I used to help my mother around the kitchen a lot. I enjoyed the company and so didn't she because Emmett and dad were always out playing ball.

Cooking automatically was associated with Bella and that brought back the memories of her cooking tacos for all of us not to long ago. She looked so natural and calm in the kitchen and the results were mouthwatering and delicious. Sigh, stupid ass you should have chased after her she wasn't going that fast.

After breakfast was finished we all headed for the gym. We all hopped in my Volvo and took off for the 5-minute ride.

We were all working out on different things, I was doing the bench press, Jasper was on the treadmill, and Emmett was well… no one technically knew what the fuck he was doing but it looked painful, he called it his miracle exercise. He looks like he was a chicken having a seizure. I couldn't stifle my laughter and Emmett threw me a death glare. After about twenty minutes of the bench I move onto the elliptical machine.

About five minutes into it a girl got onto the one beside me.

She was tall, about 5'9 which was only a couple inches shorter than me. She had long brown hair that reminded me of Bella's. She had a very petite figure, almost as skinny as Alice's and she was wearing short shorts that showed off her butt.

I felt terrible for looking at another girl's body, I felt like I was cheating on Bella.

The girl noticed my staring and I felt my face heat up. She stuck out her tiny hand, "Hey, I'm Vienna."

He had a cute smile with only one dimple on the right side. She was very cute; she had golden brown eyes that were wide and framed with mascara-caked lashes.

"Hi, I'm Edward." I was being short with her, trying to give the indication that I wasn't interested, but she didn't get the hint.

"So how old are you Edward?"

"I'm 17."

"I'm 16! What grade are you in? Lemme guess you're a junior?"

"Right, and you're a sophomore?"

"Correct. What school do you go to?"

"Bristol, what about you?" She was warming up to me, but it felt all wrong. She was looking at me appreciatively and I could tell she was going to make a move.

"Really, me too! I can't believe I've never seen you before. But here's my number, you should call me if you ever wanna hang out. We could watch a movie or something." She hopped off her elliptical machine and walked out of the gym.

"Dude! She was hott! Did you see those legs!?"

"Yes Jazz I did, but I don't know about her. She doesn't seem like my type."

"Edward, listen to me. Right now your type should be anything with two legs and a vagina, you just started dating and your newly single. Give her a call and me, Al, Em, Rose, you and that hottie can go on a date. Sound good?"

"Yeah I guess, when are the girls getting home anyways?"

"Tomorrow sometime, they went to a spa."

"Oh, okay." I couldn't wait to see Bella. I wish she had the same feeling about me. I would five her the time and space that she needed to clear her mind maybe Carlisle was right, love will find a way.

I all I knew was that love better find its way pretty fucking fast, the pain was becoming unbearable.

We spent another two hours at the gym messing around on the basketball court mainly, it still amazed me about how good Emmett was at basketball. He could really go somewhere with it. We've told him time and time again but he just shrugs it off like it's no big deal.

When we got back home we took our showers because we seriously smelled like our own sweaty socks. We gathered around the TV and watch ESPN for abnormal amount of time.

"Edward, text that girl and tell her about our dinner plans tomorrow."

"Emmett, her name is Vienna."

"Okay well text her and tell her to meet at our dorm at 5:30 sharp and to dress up because Alice said that we are going somewhere fancy I guess."

"Ugh! Alice, why do we have to go somewhere that requires a tie!?"

"Suck it up Emmett, Rose loves suits and ties."

Emmett's expression changed quickly, "God, you've gotta love Alice."

I chuckled and picked up my phone and sent a quick text message to Vienna.

Hey, it's Edward, dinner with me and my friends tomorrow, interested?

I got an insanely quick text message back, liked she'd been waiting all day for my text.

YEAH! Of course I'd love to, what time?

5:30, oh and dress up. I'll ttyl. Bye

Can't wait. Bye!

I wasn't looking forward to this at all. She seemed nice and al but she just wasn't what I was looking for.

She wasn't Bella. No one could ever compare to Bella.

I was going to be the 90 year-old virgin.

I got up and told my friends that Vienna was in for tomorrow and that I was going to bed.

I fell asleep to the sound of Bella's enchanting laughter and her beautiful brown eyes in my head.

­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­

When I woke up the next morning it was noon. Geesh, this whole broken heart thing really takes a toll on you. I lazily got up and plopped myself down in front of the TV.

After watching 20 minutes of pointless television I decided to go down to the dorm office and get our mail, Jasper usually does it but I decided to be a good bud and do it for once.

I passed lots of girls who were all clearly checking me out, I realized why.

Let's go threw my thought process shall we, I sleep with no shirt.

When I got up this morning I went straight to the living room.

I got up and went out the door.

I was shirtless.

I looked further down, thankfully I had shorts on.

I crossed my arms and tried to hide my chest.

There were whistles and catcalls. I Hung my head and finally made it to my destination.

"Mmm, yummy. How woulda thought that you had a body like that sweetie?" Lauren voice was attempting to be seductive but she miserably failed.

I ignored her and grabbed my mail. "Edward, baby, don't be like this, talk to me."

I was infuriated, everything had been building up to this point I had finally had enough, "LAUREN SHUT THE FUCK UP, I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU JUST LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE. AND STAY AWAY FROM BELLA TOO!"

She looked shocked and then hurt and she walked away. It would be normal for me to feel bad right now, but she ruined me and Bella's relationship and she deserved it.

I headed for the door and spotted a sign up sheet for the school's annual talent contest.

I thought about what Carlisle said about showing her that I still cared.

I picked up the attached pen and signed my name. I knew what to do.

When I got back to my room it was 1:30. Jasper and Emmett were playing 'Gears of War' on the XBOX. They both put down their controllers and came over to me.

They looked depressed and jasper spoke up, "Edward we have to tell you something."

Uh-oh, "What?"

It was Emmett this time, "Alice texted jasper this morning."

"WHAT HAPPENED!?"

Jasper's turn to speak apparently, "Bella's is sort of seeing someone else."

If I thought the pain I felt earlier was unbearable then there were no words to describe the pain I felt no. It was coursing through my veins, it made my muscles ache and my body feel weak. My heart stopped for a few moments and then picked up again, each beat harder and more painful than the last.

"What?" I barely managed to gasp it out. I was getting mental picture of some model-esque guy touching my Bella and kissing the love of my life.

Jealousy and anger joined the pain in my body. Why was this happening to me? I should have just listened to Bella when she tried to explain myself.

It's too late.

I kept reciting it over and over again in my head.

Emmett looked at me, his eyes full of remorse. "That's not all, he's coming to dinner with us tomorrow night."

Jazz placed his hang on my shoulder and squeezed it trying to give me reassurance.

I couldn't speak I just nodded and went into my room. I sat there waiting for words to come to me. None did.

The only thing that came were notes. Notes, rhythms and melodies. I reached into my backpack and pulled out my composition notebook and started writing everything that came to mind down.

I spent hours upon hours writing, erasing, and rearranging. I would have to go down to the music room and play it out to see how it sounds.

I looked at my clock and saw that it was 5 o'clock! I had 30 minutes to get ready.

I quickly jumped in and out of the shower and tried to tame my hair. Useless cause.

I opened the door to my room to find my clothes laid out neatly on my bed.

I threw them on and tied my tie so that it was impeccable. If I didn't Alice would fix it.

5:28. There was a knock at the door and Vienna was standing there I a tight, strapless, fiery red dress with black heels and jewelry.

Her hair was curled and half of it was pulled up. She looked very pretty, "You look nice Vienna, come in." I opened the door fully so that she could enter.

"Thanks, you clean up nicely too." She giggled and sat down on the couch. The door opened and Jasper, Alice, Emmett, and Rose walked in. Followed by my Bella and some guy.

I had to fight the urge to punch him in the face. He was obviously very attractive, dark hair, dark eyes and dark skin. He was built and had a chiseled face. I was jealous.

Bella had on a navy blue dress that was tight underneath her chest and then it flowed down to her knees, her hair was curly and gorgeous. I was breathless.

She smiled shyly at me and I grinned her favorite smile back. Her boyfriend glared at me and I felt Vienna's small hand intertwine with mine.

Being her usual cheerful self she was the first to speak up, "Hi guys, I'm Vienna, Edward's date." I looked at Bella and she cringed when Vienna said date she looked jealous, what the hell?

My friends introduced themselves and Bella finally spoke up after clearing her voice, "This is Jace." She stated it simply without labels, I was glad he wasn't her boyfriend. Yet.

Alice sensed the tension and the room, "Well let's go guys, are reservations are super soon and we don't want to be late."

We all murmured in agreement and walked out the door. As Vienna and I walked to my Volvo I was Jace and Bella get into his car.

Our fucking course he had a Lambo. Fuck my life.

I got in my car after helping Vienna into her seat. I pulled out and followed Alice and Jasper.

Vienna placed her hand on mine, "Edward what's wrong?"

"Nothing."

She didn't drop it of course. "It doesn't seem like nothing, you can talk to me ya know?"

"Yeah I know but can we talked about this later, I just want to enjoy tonight." I gave a flirtatious grin and she returned it.

We pulled into the Italian restaurant ten minutes later.

I opened her door and ked her into the restaurant.

I stopped as soon as I was through the door; Bella was leaned into Jace in a serious looking lip-lock. His hands were on her ass grinding her hips into hers, she had her hands in his hair. She used to do that to me. Used to.

If she wants to play games I can too, I bent down and met my lips with Vienna's.

I cupped her cheek and pressed her closer to me. She wrapped her arms around my neck and fully complied when I asked entrance to her mouth. Our tongues moved slowly and innocently together. But one of us was always a beat behind the other. I pulled away and grinned.

No electricity, no spark, nothing at all.

Oh well. Vienna looked beyond pleased; she put her hand on the crook of my elbow and held me close. Great she was getting attached.

Bella looked livid as she threw eye daggers at Vienna. I returned the favor to Jace who was oblivious to the whole situation. I wonder if he knows about me.

I am going to tell Vienna tonight. But I will leave out the reason for the kiss; I don't want to hurt her. I know how it feels.

The hostess came up to our group and sat us at a large round table.

Awkward silence anyone?
