I wake up hours later feeling much better. I'm alone in the room and I remain there listening, hearing nothing making a sound. I wondered who was downstairs and decide to prolong avoiding interaction by getting cleaned up. I take a long hot shower and walk back to the bedroom seeing a note on the bed along with the dress I previously had on.

"Please wear this and join me downstairs when you're ready. -Edward"

I sigh and hug the dress against myself as I wonder what this evening will unfold into. I get dressed and slip into the same black shoes as well, deciding to leave my hair down. I put on some mascara, pleased that it was enough to finish my look and keep it simple.

I hold my breath and I walk down the stairs and see Edward coming into the living room. He smiles, "you look lovely."

I return his smile, "Where are we going?"

He reaches out for my hand, "I just thought we could use some time out."

He leads me outside and all the others are waiting, even Rosalie. I raise a brow in question. Edward tilts his head, "We could all use a night out." I shrug, still confused, but relieved that Rosalie didn't seem to know anything and wasn't trying to kill me. We all head towards the city.

Edward is silent most of the car ride and I rack my brain for anything to say. "Edward, we don't have to do this," I finally say.

"Do what?" He keeps his eyes fixed ahead.

"Pretend that everything is fine...normal," I glance out the passenger window.

"But everything is fine. I'll make it normal again," he replies

I let out a long breath deciding to keep the peace for now. He seems in denial that I have feelings for someone else. His brother at that. We pull up at nice sit-down restaurant and Edward walks around to open my door.

I step out and he hooks his arm in mine before explaining, "We already had plans to come here for your birthday."

My heart sinks and I swallow back guilt, walking slowly inside. Edward sits across from me as Alice sits beside me, Jasper in front of her, followed by Rosalie and Emmett. I avoid looking towards Emmett.

Alice tries to lighten the mood, "I hear this place is amazing. We've had reservations for months."

I reply, "You guys didn't have to do this for me."

Rosalie joins the conversation, "Yes we did. Trust me, Alice can't take no for an answer."

I pretend to glance at the menu to decide what to eat. I can feel Edward studying my face so I decide on the next thing I see and close my menu, smiling. Everyone makes small talk over dinner and we get up to leave. Emmett suggests going out for drinks at the club down the road I had previously been to. Everyone else agrees before I can protest. Once there, we all settle into the crowd at our own table. I decide to just have a water for now.

"You okay?" Edward asks into my ear, over the loud music.

I nod and smile at Alice who's dragging Jasper to dance. Rosalie follows suit and grabs Emmett's hand, forcing him up. I make eye contact with him for the first time all night and fake a smile. His expression gives nothing away and he reluctantly gets up to join Rosalie. After a couple songs and staring at Rosalie with Emmett, I begin to get jealous and I grab Edward's drink, finishing it.

"Come on. I want you to dance with me," I call out.

Edward looks surprised and we take a spot on the dance floor. We stop at the table after the first song and I quickly knock back a drink. I ignore everyone and focus all my energy into dancing up on Edward before glancing back to see if anyone was watching. Edward catches on to what I'm doing and pulls away from me.

"I should have known better," he growls under his breath and I frown trying to follow him but he's too quick to catch up with.

I slowly walk back to the table and see Rosalie also disappear towards Edward's direction. She must have heard him get upset. I roll my eyes and finish my third drink alone. Alice drags me out to dance with her and I can't help but laugh and enjoy myself. She is a ball of light.

I see Emmett dancing with another girl who has her arms snaked around him. I scowl and talk loudly into Alice's ear, "I'm gonna go find Edward."

She nods at me and continues dancing. I make my way towards the back area of the club where there are spots, more private. Couches and lights everywhere, some even have platforms and dance poles. I hear talking and can just make out a male's voice, "no we can't do this you know I'm with..."The voice stops as I walk into the last area and apologize as I see a girl trying to lift her shirt off. "Bella" Edward finishes his sentence and I realize it's Rosalie standing in front of him.
