Thank you guys for the reviews! I hope you enjoyed the preview of my next story!

I started classes last week and it has been very interesting so far. I don't have class on Fridays, so hopefully once I've finished my homework, I can spend parts of my weekend writing.

Chapter 25: Rosalie knows

August 26th, 2010

"Can't we just have it all?" Jacob asked as he put his fork down. We had been at this food tasting for an hour now and we had yet to decide on what dishes to include for the main course.

"We can't we need to have 3 choices for everyone." I told him.

"But they all taste so good." Jacob insisted. I rolled my eyes.

"Alice, a little help?" I asked her. She wiped her mouth with her napkin before talking.

"Jacob, we would if we could but we can't. We need to decide on 3 main course dishes, which is why Rosalie and I came along." Alice said.

"And why did Emmett come along?" Jacob asked pointing towards my brother who was currently eating a second helping of the last dish we tried.

"Because there was free food," I told him. Emmett looked up at us and smiled.

"You guys should definitely put this roast beef on the menu." Emmett said before putting another fork full in his mouth. Rosalie rolled her eyes. Sometimes I wondered what she sees in him. But then again, I can't think of anyone more perfect for her and vice versa.

After several more minutes of arguing over what main courses should go on the menu, we finally settled on what the 3 choices would be; Baked salmon, Lemon chicken, and roast beef (per Emmett's request).

"Thank god, we finally got that settled." Alice said as we stood up from our seats. "Are we ready to go?"

"Yes," I said as I stood up from the table. I turned to the head chef, who owned the catering company. "Thank you so much for all the delicious food. I can't wait for everyone at the wedding to try it."

"It is my pleasure. Good luck with the rest of the wedding planning." He said shaking each of our hands before walking out of the room.

I was sitting in my room currently re-reading my favorite, yet worn out book, Wuthering Heights. I was trying to get lost in the story but my mind couldn't help but wander back to the kiss that I had shared with Edward. It wasn't something that could be taken back. And it was something that I knew would change our relationship forever. We would never be the same after that. And the worst part of it all is that I didn't even regret it or feel guilty…at least not until I saw Jacob later that night.

I sighed as I re-read the same line for the 5th time before groaning in frustration. I gave up and placed the book on the nightstand before rubbing my eyes. Everything was just getting more complicated. The wedding day was rapidly approaching, my best friend and I kissed, there was still a lot to do, and then there was the matter of actually walking down the aisle and becoming Mrs. Isabella Black. And I couldn't tell anyone about what was going on because it was all just so complicated.

There was a knock on my door.

"Come in." I said and watched as the door open and Rosalie walked in.

"Hey Bells." She said before sitting down on my bed. I knew Rosalie would be here sooner or later.

"Hey, what's up?" I asked trying to act natural.

"Not much, I just thought that we should talk." She said. I nodded for her to continue. I knew it was only a matter of time before she questioned me. "What happened yesterday? You seemed very distracted when you returned from the bathroom."

I didn't know if I could tell her. I didn't know if I should tell her. I didn't know what she would say. She would be able to see through any lie I gave her. I'm actually a bit shocked that Alice didn't come with her or badger me about it yesterday.

"Nothing important." I said silently hoping that she would believe it. She snorted.

"Yeah right, Swan. I call bullshit. You seemed way too out of it yesterday for it to have been nothing. Something happened. You know you can tell me anything." She said placing her hand over mine giving it a reassuring squeeze.

"Okay, Um…yesterday after I went to the bathroom, I went into the piano room because I heard music and saw Edward playing. And um…we…kind of…kissed." I said waiting for her reaction.

"Wait…you kind of kissed or you did kiss?" she asked.

"We kissed." I said. Rosalie's eyes widen slightly. I sat there waiting for her response.

"Well, I can't say I'm that surprised. I mean you've liked Edward since high school. And from what I've seen, he's liked you since then as well." She said. What was she talking about? Edward didn't like me in high school. I was nothing more than a sister in high school.

"What are you talking about? Edward didn't like me in high school." I asked her.

"You both are so blind. You were both too scared to change your relationship to admit it to each other. I noticed it in junior year after you came back from your semester abroad in Italy. Edward was falling for you but he was too scared to say anything because he thought you'd reject him. I also noticed how you used to get jealous whenever a girl was trying to get Edward's attention, or he'd go out with someone. I never said anything because I figured sooner or later you'd end up together. Imagine my surprise when you showed up with a fiancé." she said.

Edward liked me in high school and he didn't say anything. That explains the animosity between him and Jacob. Why he always said his name with such disgust. Why he became even more over protective in high school.

"I can't believe it. He's liked me all this time." I said. Rosalie nodded.

"The real question is...do you feel the same about him now?" she asked me. I did still have feelings for him. But I mean of course I did. He's my best friend. He knew me better than anyone. But I love Jacob too.

"I do still have feelings for Edward…but I love Jacob. I can't just leave him hanging for Edward. I mean it probably would never work out between us. I can't leave Jacob for something that may not be worth it. I have a sure thing with Jacob." I said. Rosalie sighed before pulling me into a hug.

"Listen Bella, you are one of my best friends. I understand if you're scared. And I will support you no matter what or who you decide. Just make sure that when you decide, you're positive that it's who you want and not who you feel you owe it too." Rosalie said looking me straight in the eye. She was right. Either way, one was going to end up getting hurt because of my decision.

"Thanks Rose." I said looking down at my fingers. Rosalie moved up on the bed and sat down next to me. She placed her arm around me and hugged me.

"I have to go or your brother will come looking for me." She said with a smile.

"Hey um Rosalie?" she turned to look at me. "Could you please not tell anyone about this conversation or what happened between Edward and I? I just…I don't want anyone to know."

"Don't worry, you're secret is safe with me," she said before leaving my room.

After she left, I threw myself down onto the bed. At least Rosalie knew what happened. I could count on her. I knew she wouldn't say a thing to anyone.

"Hey Edward, do you want to come watch a movie with us?" Alice asked Edward as he walked by the living room. He glanced up and we made eye contact briefly before I turned my head to concentrate on the tv.

"No, I'm uh…I'm kind of busy." Edward said before quickly walking away.

"Hey Bella, do you know what's up with Edward?" Alice asked me. At the mention of his name, I felt my stomach do a somersault.

"No, w-why do you ask?" I asked her.

"I don't know, it's just…he's been a bit off."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know, every time I mention something about your wedding or he hears me on the phone planning your wedding his mood shifts and he becomes all broody and stuff." She said shrugging.

"Well, have you tried talking to him? Has he mentioned anything?" I asked her. She shook her head.

"Have you spoken to him lately?" She asked me. Honestly, I hadn't spoken to Edward since that day. I was too scared.

"No, I haven't. I've been…busy." I said. "Maybe he'll come around. I mean he's probably just stressed, he has to take his MCATs this weekend."

"Well, that better be it, because I don't want to deal with his grumpiness at your parent's BBQ this Monday." Alice said crossing her arms.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"This weekend, Bella don't tell me you forgot. Its Labor Day weekend. You're parent's BBQ is happening on Monday. It happens every year." Alice said to me.

"Oh jeez, I forgot that was this Monday. Angela and Leah are coming up to spend the rest of the month here until the wedding." I said to Alice. She nodded.

"Yes they are."

"I hope Leah's feeling better." I said.

"What are you talking about?" Alice asked me. I turned to look at her.

"I don't know, it's just that when we went to The Reservation for the weekend, I ran into Leah and she looked like she had been crying or on the verge of crying. When I asked her she told me she had something in her eyes. Then I saw Jacob looking upset and I asked him and he wouldn't tell me anything. He just kept telling me that Leah had allergies and she'd be fine. Then later that night, at Billy's party, she was cold and distant. I don't believe Jacob when he said everything was alright." I told her.

She frowned and didn't say anything. She looked like she was thinking about something. She looked at me then she threw towards the spot where Edward had been standing a few minutes ago. Then she looked back at me and shrugged.

"Well, maybe she wasn't feeling well. We'll just have to see this weekend. Now it's time for some Ryan Gosling love." She said quickly ending the conversation by pressing play on The Notebook.

Hope you guys enjoyed it! As always Read and Review! Love you guys!
