Chapter 38

BPOV

"The couple going home tonight is…"

I waited as long as I could to see who would be leaving. I don't know if I would be able to handle the wait any longer.

"Marie and Jonathan."

I opened up my eyes and my jaw dropped. I couldn't believe that I made it to the semi finals. Though I am sad to see Marie go, but I was happy that I'm in the semi finals.

After the show was over, I wished Marie lots of luck after the show and with her Vegas show. I found out that Mark and I would be doing the Quickstep and the Jive again. I'm assuming that it would be redemption week next week and it will have something to do with whoever gets into the finals.

Geez, it does make the world go round now, does it?

"Okay so I think for when you move in, we need to get you some more new clothes" Alice was saying early the next morning when we were heading to Starbucks.

"Alice, I don't need new clothes" I said.

"How can you say that? A girl has to have new clothes" Alice said with shock in her voice.

"I just don't need a whole new wardrobe" I said.

"You don't have to have a new wardrobe, just get a few new shirts, skinny jeans and some shoes…"

"How about this? I can get a few things but not too much" I asked.

"Fine, but this isn't over" she replied. I shook my head and rolled my eyes as we went into Starbucks. We got our drinks and sat down near the window.

"What time's your rehearsal?"

"It's going on around three. Somehow, after last night, Mark and I need a little R&R before we throw ourselves into pulled muscles and achy bones" I replied.

"I do have to say that I have to give you credit for doing this. If it was me, there would be no way in hell that I would dance in millions. I would be petrified" Alice said.

"Most likely everyone who hasn't done ballroom dancing is always nervous but when it comes to the semi finals and all of that, now I'm going to start getting petrified" I said, sipping on my latte.

"Don't worry Bella; you got me and your brothers, Rose and your parents rooting for you. Especially Edward which speaking of him, have you two talked?" she said.

I knew she was going to ask me that. It's Alice, no surprise there.

"I am going to talk to him. Sometime during the week, when I have the courage" I replied.

She rolled her eyes and put down her drink. "I know it will work out. I know these things, remember? Besides, he told me that he wants to explain everything from that night."

"I hope he will" I said.

After the morning coffee meet-up, Alice and I parted ways since she had work to go to and was planning on meet Jasper for lunch. I headed towards my truck and sat in it for awhile. I looked at the clock on the car which read 12:36pm. I sighed heavily and ran my hand over my face.

I picked up my cell phone and dialed Edward's number. I waited after four rings before it reached for his voicemail.

"Hi you reached Edward. Leave a message and I'll get back to you." Beep.

"Hey Edward it's me, Bella. Um, it's 12:36 and I wanted to call and say hi. Well, mainly I do want to talk to you. So, okay, um, when you get a chance, call me back. Kay bye" I said and hung up.

So much for talking to him.

Maybe he does hate me for not talking to him about that night. Call me crazy, but I knew that this would be doomed for disaster. Why now do I have to realize my feelings for him? This is all too complicated.

My phone buzzed getting my mind out of La, La land. I saw that it was Mark that texted me.

Hey, you mind if we meet an hour early for rehearsal?-M

Yeah no biggie, got nothing else to do today-B

I snapped my phone shut and tossed it on to my seat. I started up my truck and started to make my way to school to drop off some papers I had missed the deadline. However, I was lucky enough to let it slide this one time.

"Hop, hop, hop one two three and spin around and jump out like this" Mark instructed me. We were doing our Quickstep routine. We were going for a different approach on this one this time.

"Good, now let's move on to the next part. I think you are becoming a professional dancer at this" he complimented.

"Thanks well I think it because of this dance. When we start doing the jive, I'm hoping that the jive will be my definite redemption" I said.

Mark chuckled and nodded in agreement. "I think when it comes to rehearsing that, we'll make it better. With the music for it however, it'll be a challenge."

"Why do you say that?" I asked.

"Because since the Latin dances are going to be a genre music theme, ours is hard rock and our song is The Joker and the Thief" he replied.

"How are we going to do that?"

"I have a way and since we're in this dance together, you can come up with something and we'll try and put it in the routine" he replied.

"I'd like that. Let's finish this quickstep and go on to the jive" I said and we gave each other high-fives and we took a tiny break before we got back to work.

I checked my phone and saw that I got a new message. I shoved my phone back in my bag and making a mental note to myself to check it when rehearsals were over.

EPOV

Last night was probably the most stressful night I've ever had to endure. Seeing Bella up there whether or not she was going to make it or home, terrified me. I wanted her to make it to the next round but at the same time, I didn't due to her injury.

When Marie was sent home, a wave of relief came over me. I knew that she wanted to be in the semi finals so badly, but I do wish her well also.

I was getting out of the shower when I saw my phone blinking. I grabbed it from the night table and saw that I got a voice mail and a missed call. My eyes widened a bit as I saw that it was Bella who called. I pressed in my code to get my voice mail and listened to it.

"Hi Edward its Bella. Its 12:36 and I just called to say hi. Well, make that I do want to talk to you. So yeah, um when you get this call me back. Kay, bye."

I stared at my phone in shock. So now she wants to talk to me. But I couldn't blame her really; it was my fault mostly for what happened that night.

I immediately called her back but I only got her voice mail too. I decided to leave a message and hopefully she'll get it.

Hi it's Bella. Here comes the beep you know the routine.

"Hi Bella its Edward. Sorry I didn't pick up I was in the shower. I guess you're in rehearsal or something like that. I really glad you did call and I hope we can meet up sometime this week I'm not doing anything special so just give me a call when you get this. Okay? Bye" I said and hung up.

I really hope and do pray that she'll get my message.

Rehearsal was done for the day. I was glad that we got the dance almost done and over with. I was heading towards my car when I was listening to Edward's message. I got in my truck and decided to head over to his place.

I was driving through town and not even halfway into the outskirts of town when my truck started to make a funky noise. By the time I pulled it over, it stopped all of a sudden and to make matters worse, I heard the rain coming down from my truck outside.

Great. Just great.

A/N: .God. I am updating finally a week later. I'm getting good.

So what will happen now? All I got to say is read and find out. You think I would give it away now, did you?

So we're heading down the road when this story will be ending soon. We got the semi finals and the finals of Dancing with the Stars. I can't believe what a crazy ride we're on already.

You know what to do. I hope you review now that I'm updating more now. This idea is coming to me so expect another update hopefully next week.

Signing out for now,
