Chapter 2: What's Wrong With You Edward?

Bella's POV

As Jamal and I walked into the residence of the party I looked around to see if I could find anyone that I knew. But before I could get a good look Jamal took hold of my hand and walked me over to the refreshment table.

"Hey Jamal. See you finally got up the nerve to ask Bella out." A jock that was standing at the table said with humor in his voice.

"Oh fuck off Mike." Jamal said as he gave this guy Mike the finger. "Do you want anything to drink?" Jamal asked me with kindness in his voice.

"Um could I just have some water?" I asked not sure if they had any soda for all I saw infront of me looked to be nothing other than alcohol.

"Oh what no cocktails?" asked Mike with laughter.

"I don't drink." I said as I felt my cheeks begin to blush.

"It's ok Bella. I'll go in the kitchen and get you some water." Jamal said as he slapped Mike in the back of the head and headed towards the kitchen to get me some water, leaving me alone with Mike who was just looking at me as though he was undressing me with his eyes.

~Back at the Cullen's house~

Jasper's POV

"You okay man?" I asked Edward, who was not only acting really weird but his emotions of fear and worry were on overdrive.

"Yeah I'm fine." Edward said. I knew that he was lying. Hell everyone knew that the only reason why Edward has been pushing Bella away was because he was starting to fall for her and he felt that if she knew that it would make her want to become one of us.

"No your not man. Remember I can feel your emotions and they are not that of someone who is fine." I said with irritation. "Now what's going on with you?"

"Look it's…"

"Damn it Edward just open up to me. You and I use to be real close. You would talk to me about any issue that you had. Or at least you did up until about two years ago." I said my irritation and frustration towards Edward finally surfacing and irrupting.

"Look Jazz. Really it's nothing." Edward said. I didn't know who he was trying to convice me or himself.

"Look man. You say that it's nothing but… look we all know that your feelings for Bella have changed."

"What?" Edward asked in shock.

"Remember I can feel your emotions and how you've been pushing her away and well not only her but all of us. All we had to do was put two and two together." I explained as I watched Edward's posture begin to relax. "So why don't you just do us all a favor and stop hiding your emotions and just let them out. Your killing yourself by keeping them all bottled up inside."

"Your brother's right Edward." Carlisle said making his presence known to both Edward and myself.

"Yeah but… what if she feels the same and want's to become one of us? What if she…"

"But that's all that you have my son. 'What if'. You can't live your life by what if. You have to actually live it and hide in fear of it." Carlisle said as he placed a comforting hand on Edward's back.

Alice's POV

As I listened in on what the boys were talking about downstairs I decided to go through Bella's clothing a throw out all that I knew she doesn't wear so that I can make room for our coming up shopping trip. As I worked I remembered what Bella went through those two years ago when Edward began to push her away.

Flashback

"Hey Alice do you know if something is wrong with Edward?" Bella asked me.

"I don't believe that there is sweetie, why do you ask?" I asked her wonder why she would ask me about Edward. She was closer to him then anyone else in the house.

"Well we were suppose to hang out and all but he just told me that he had other plans." She said. As I looked up I saw that there were tears that were forming in her eyes. "Did I do something wrong? I mean it's not like him to cancel on me."

"Oh sweetheart I don't know what's going on with him. I haven't seen anything happen make him change his plans with you." I said trying my best to comfort her. 'Where is Jasper and Emmett when you need them?' I asked myself.

"Then it really is me. I mean if you haven't seen anything happen to him to make him change his mind and make other plans then that can only mean that its me. Something is wrong with me. Do you think he now sees me as dirty?" she asked as she began to sob.

"No. Of course not honey. There is nothing wrong with you." I said as I pulled her into my arms.

"But there must be. I mean why else would my step father and that guy J…Ja…Jason hurt me the way that they did? Why else would Edward be treating me like this? Why do people always make me feel like I'm not good enough." Bella sobbed. I knew that she was now remembering all that she went through before she came to us. "Ali Al why?"

"Oh honey. Shhh. It's gonna be okay. I promise you that it's gonna be okay." I said as I tried my best to calm her down. 'Damn you Edward. I hope you know what you've done. You are by far the biggest bastard that I have ever known. You almost rank up there with her step father and bastard baby sitter that have hurt her in worst ways then you are now.' I said to myself hoping that Edward heard. 'I swear you will pay for this.'

End of Flashback

I must say that Bella has come a long way since that day.
