"Edward," She sighed. "I know Bella, and the best thing you can do now is just tell her the truth…and how you feel about her." That part obviously made her happy.
"I think I already did." I blurted out.
Alice jumped off her bed. "What do you mean? You told her already?"
"I didn't exactly tell her." I said. I still wasn't looking at her.
"Edward…" She said hesitantly.
"Well," I began. "We…we…"
"We, we what, Edward?" She exclaimed.
"We kissed." I revealed.
"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" And here I thought she would be yelling at me.
Chapter 21 - Right or Wrong?

I didn't know how to respond to Alice's screaming. Well, to be honest, I wasn't sure about much anything really anymore.
"When did this whole kiss thing happen?" She asked excitedly.
"Well, just this morning."
Alice was about to ramble on again, but she caught something. "This morning? But…" She caught me. "You went over there didn't you?"
"She actually invited me."
"For what?" For what? To show me her secret place. Beautiful, I thought. There was no way in hell that I was going to tell her about it. "Just to hang out."
She didn't seem to believe me, but she dropped it. "So, what are you going to do?"
"Well, I was kinda' hoping you'd help me with that."
"How the hell am I supposed to do that?"
I sighed. "I don't know."
We stayed quiet for a little while. "Well…first thing's first." She paused and looked at me. "You have to call off this whole bet with Mike."

Shoot me, shoot me, shoot me.
That is all that really went through my head the whole entire evening. From completely trying to avoid Tony and my mother trying to bring up my name every 10 seconds. This deserves a big round of applause because this is all a big show my mom is trying to make. Ugh.
While everyone was seated in the living room watching an action movie. Mostly all the guys were watching it. Emmett, of course, was playing close attention. Rosalie was in the corner chair, eating and laughing whenever Emmett would imitate one of the characters. I think everyone was laughing at him. Including me.
I somehow managed to mingle myself out of sitting next to Tony. I knew my mom was eyeing me from across the room, gesturing for me to sit next to him.
As a result of my stubborn-ness, I ended up sitting up the whole time, while everyone was enjoying the movie; hoping to survive this night.
By the time everyone settled into small talk, I was a bit more calm.
I somehow couldn't get Edward out of my head. I was a little worried, I have to admit. Alice isn't here, which could only mean one thing: They were talking. I hope she wasn't hurting him or anything.

"We need to talk."
"Well, well, well. Look who it is." Mike mocked. He turned his attention behind me. "And you brought back up."
"Oh shut up Mike." Alice commanded.
"Feisty now, isn't she?"
"Don't talk to my sister like that. We need to talk."
"I'm guessing it's about the bet, eh?"
"Yes, of course."
"Did you finally figure out what you're giving up if you lose." His ignorance was becoming more and more annoying every time he opened up his big mouth. "…cuz if you haven't, I have something pretty good." I sighed hard enough for him to hear my impatience. "Is something up?"
"The bet is off." I began walking away along side Alice. Mike, however, slid out behind the counter towards us, stopping me in my tracks.
"Wait, you can't just give up."
I turned around abruptly, that he bumped into me. "And why not?" I said, sternly. He put up his hands in surrender. "Woah, man." He hesitated.
We started at each other for what seemed like long minutes. I started turning around. "I wonder what Bella would think if she finds out about our little bet."
I took a step towards him, until Alice walked up in between the both of us, right up into Mike's face. "You wouldn't."
I couldn't say anything. The very thought of this whole bet thing being revealed to Bella by someone else ,other then me, is completely troubling.
"Well Bella deserves to know," He continued. "She deserves to know that you've been playing with her. Getting her to fall in love with you, by the end of the summer."
"Since when the hell did you start caring who gets hurt here, Mike!" Alice exclaimed. "You're the one who started the whole thing!"
"I'm not the one who's carrying out the bet, keep that in mind." Alice kept her mouth shut and Mike continued. "He had the chance to say no." He diverted his attyention back to me. "But he didn't." He continued. "He doesn't care about Bella…He-"
"That's not true!" I shouted. "I care about Bella."
"Well you have a funny way of showing it. You took advantage of the fact that she had a crush on you."
"Stop! Enough!" Alice yelled.
Suddenly, we hear something fall off a shelve a couple of isles down, near the exit. Someone was in a hurry to leave, I thought. Abruptly, I noticed something that stopped my heart short. Her work uniform looked extremely familiar. From the bookstore.
...WELL...it has been a while. Ha. i know. -_-
