BELLA'S POINT-OF-VIEW

I took a deep breath before cracking open the door and peering out to see Paul sitting casually on the couch waiting for me. Oh crap. What have I gotten myself into? How can I choose between them? My first love, or my savior? I love them both so much….ugh! I'm so confused. I sighed pulling on the hem of my sweatshirt before pushing on the bathroom door open and walking toward Paul. I kept looking at the floor as I walked toward the couch to meet my doom.

When I stepped in front of him I knew I had to look up, I didn't want to be rude after all. So I raised my eyes to his face. He was looking very closely at my face, looking concerned.

"Um. We should go down to my room so we can have some privacy," I said quietly as I turned around and began walking to the basement door.

I heard him quietly get off the couch and follow me downstairs. Once I knew he was behind me I began down the stairs and walked into my room. Paul followed me into my room and closed the door once he was in. I ignored him and just sat on my bed before looking at him. He looked at me cautiously like before and made his way across the room to my bed, sitting on the edge.

"Sooo…." He said awkwardly, obviously not sure why he was in here.

"Um…. well, I need to talk to you…" I said absentmindedly running my fingers through my hair.

"Ok. Talk," he responded turning to me so I was facing him full on.

Wow, he really has changed a lot since I last saw him. He got taller; her had to be about 6' 5" by now. And he seems to have gained MORE muscle…if that's even possible. His baseball shirt was very…. tight…and so were his jeans…..ahh….. STOP BELLA STOP! Ugh. Why does he have this affect on me?! I haven't seen him in almost 3 year! And I'm in love with Edward! Why does Paul's return bring me back to where I was before…Is it possible to be in love with two men at once? I sigh as I look away from his face. I can't look into his caramel eyes AND think straight. What the hell am I supposed to say?

"Well…um… I wanted to apologize again about that kiss……it was completely uncalled for—" I started rambling but Paul cut me off.

"Bells. It wasn't uncalled fore. I still love you, I never stopped loving you. I never will stop loving you," he said in the most earnest way he could.

My mouth hung open in shock…. wow. He loves me. He really loves me. My heart flutters, and I start to feel a little light headed, and I hate myself for it. Why does he have to do this to me! Ugh!

I didn't know what to say so I mumbled, "I love you too Paul."

He smiled and moved a little closer to me, I knew what he was starting. I could see it in his eyes. I wanted nothing more that to let him move closer and kiss me…..make me putting in his strange hands, but I couldn't. I couldn't do that to Edward. I loved him too.

I backed away slightly before I said, "But I love him too, Paul. I love him so much but I love you so much too. I just don't know who I love more."

I couldn't meet his eyes so I just looked down at my hands awkwardly why did this have to be so hard? Why can't I just make a choice? Why do they both have to be so wonderful?

"Bella," he said quietly, before he placed his finger under my chin making me look at this dark face, "Bella. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You can choose either of us, I just want you to be happy."

That shocked me; I was expecting to see more pain or anger in his eyes. I expected him to put pressure on me to make a choice. Unconsciously we had moved closer together, and our lips were maybe two inches apart when the door crashed open.

"Bella! Guess what what what!" Alice shrieked as she bounded into the room.

Embarrassed I turned slightly away from Paul who looked slightly disappointed. I smiled at that, knowing I could have an affect on him.

"What what what?" I asked in response to Alice.

"I have a idea on how you can choose! Come on!" she shrieked as she grabbed my hand and began to drag me out of the room.

I grabbed Paul's hand too, and pulled him with he up to the living room, where Edward, Emmett, and Jasper were waiting. All three of them were slumped down in their seats on the couch and had their arms crossed over their chests. All of them glared at Paul when they noticed we were just standing there holding hands. Paul just smirked at their reaction, but I quickly dropped his hand and put my hands in my pockets.

"Ok guys, take a seat," Alice said cheerfully, as she smiled so big it looked like it hurt.

Alice had already taken the armchair, and the boys too the couch, so that only left the loveseat for Paul and I. We sat down together, and we were really… REALLY, close. He was just so muscular that he took up more than his share of the small loveseat. Paul was obviously uncomfortable so he moved the arm that was stuck between us and moved it around my shoulders. When Edward saw this he growled slightly and tensed. Emmett and Jasper weren't happy either but they reluctantly tried to keep Edward calm. Paul just smirked and pulled me closer to his sigh.

"Ok. So here is my idea, guys. Since Bella obviously loves both Edward Anthony Cullen and Paul Ryan Black, she has to spend time with both to know whom she belongs with. So I propose she takes turns sleeping over at Paul's apartment, and then at the guesthouse in the woods with Edward. She will switch off weeks for the next two months or however long it takes for her to choose. Get it? Got it? Good."

We all just stared at her in shock before the fighting began.
