BELLA P.O.V

'Bella are you in there,' Alice called again banging on the door. I turned to Edward and widened my eyes.

'What do I say,' I mouthed to him.

'I don't know,' he mouthed back.

I sent hit him lightly then began to unlock the door, slowly... I was dreading what I was going to tell Alice hopefully it will be just her and not... The door burst open when a force from the other side hit it and I only just managed to get out of the way with the help of Edward. Alice was standing there frowning with everyone behind her looking in worridly. Dam it.

'Bella,' Alice yelled. 'Where have you been, you didn't come to dinner! I was so worried I thought something had happened to you but instead I find you in here with Edward..?'

I felt myself blush when she said the last bit and look away, Edward was still holding onto me from when he had pulled me away from the swinging door but when Tanya sent him a glare he automatically let go.

'Umm, something came up...' I said trying to think of an excuse.

'Like what,' Emmett said walking in and flopping onto the couch. 'Dam you two are grubs.'

'No that's just Joe,' I said.

'Hey,' I heard him shout.

'You still haven't answered our question Bella, Edward,' Alice said walking up to us raising her eyebrows. Tanya came up behind her and looked at Edward directly in the eyes.

'We just needed to talk about something,' Edward lied smoothly. 'We were about to come down when you 6 barged in.'

'Hey what are these,' Emmett said walking over to my bed. I looked over to see what he was going to and felt my breathing hitch. I ran over to the bed and jumped onto it covering the photos of me. Emmett jumped slightly to see me there then pouted. 'Bella, what are they?'

'There nothing, just nothing, can we go to dinner now?'

'Why are you two acting so weird,' Rosalie demanded looking from me to Edward. 'It's like you two are trying to hide something.'

I laughed nervously, if only Rose knew she was right on the mark. 'No, what is there to hide?'

Joe looked at me suspiciously with his arms crossed 'Yes, what is there to hide indeed.'

I stared at him sending him warnings with my eyes, he just stared back stubbornly telling me he knew something was up. I don't know how long we did it for but eventually Emmett broke the silence with a smart ass comment.

'Is the staring thing like a brother and sister thing? Alice you and I should do it.'

I heard a smack then Emmett whinging 'Rose.'

'Edward I think we need to talk,' Tanya said breaking my stare with Joe. I looked over to see her glaring at me then looking back to Edward. 'Now!'

Edward nodded his head silently and she left the room. I watched her go then looked back at Edward from the bed, I saw he was looking at me to. There were so many things I wanted to say to him but with everyone here I knew I couldn't so I just looked away and listened to him leave.

'Awkward,' Jasper muttered and everyone nodded in agreement.

'Well since most of us are here, let's talk about the sleepover,' Alice said jumping onto Joe's bed.

'Actually I think I need to talk to Bella,' Joe said calmly. 'Alone, outside, right now!'

'Actually I'd rather stay in-'

But I never got to finish the sentance because Joe had yanked me up and was dragging me outside the dorm room. Once outside he turned to look at me levely and gripped my shoulders.

'Explain,' was all he said.

'There's nothing to say,' I began to lie but he once again cut me off.

'Bella, you promised me you would tell me everything, stop keeping things from me!'

'You sound like Edward,' I mumbled looking at the ground.

'Because I'm worried about you we all are, Alice and the others have noticed that something is up with you, they know your hiding something but they don't want to nag it out of you,' he told me.

'Well maybe you should follow by there example,' I retorted and looked him in the eye. 'Edward wasn't lying we just needed to talk about something...'

'And what about that guy who left our room? Who was he?'

I stiffened under his grip 'You saw him?'

'Yes we all did when we came up to try and find you, care to tell me now, what is actually going on?'

I couldn't tell him, that would be putting his life in danger...more danger. Not to mention Jacob would get suspicious and if Joe knew I was going to be bait to lure him out he will be worse then Edward, tying me to the bed and hanging around me like a fly. No, I couldn't tell him, for his own safety, just like I couldn't tell the others. I hate lying to them but if this goes the way Detective Gary said, things should turn out right...I hope. I just needed to think of a cover story and fast.

'Okay, okay,' I said making it up as I went along. 'Your right something did happen.'

I saw Joe's eyes widen as he looked at me and I took a deep breath 'Edward and I were making out.'

I'm so going to regret saying that later but it was the first thing that popped into my head. I watched Joe do a double take as he looked at me.

'W-What?' He stuttered.

'We just couldn't hold in our feelings anymore,' I lied and it actually sounded believable, probably because I actually wanted that to happen. 'And then you guys came in and interupted but you can't tell anyone.'

'I-I,' he stumbled still trying to grasp the concept of Edward and I making out he had completely forgotten about the man coming out of my room.

'Joe,' I pleaded. 'Please don't say anything.'

'O-Okay I won't,' he muttered shaking his head.

I grinned at him thinking to myself, lying is fun when you do it probably, and his reaction was golden.

'We um, we better go inside,' Joe said shifting slightly.

'Okay, don't forget not to tell anyone.'

'Yeah, whatever.'

We headed back in and everyone was sitting around staring at something in Alice's hands. I raised my eyebrows at Joe but he just shrugged telling me he didn't no either. I walked up behind them and peered over there shoulders 'What you looking at?'

'Bella,' Rose said slightly scared. 'What are these?'

She held up Alice's hand and I saw the were looking at the photos I had jumped on to hide form Emmett. Dam Joe made me uncover them! I completely forgot, crap, crap, what do I say...

'There just photos,' I said pointing out the obvious.

'We can see that,' Jasper said. 'But who took them?'

'Ahh...'

'Hey guys Edward and I are going to-'

'Edward,' I cut her off racing over to him with a begging look in my eyes. He and Tanya had just come inside and were standing at the door hand in hand, I felt a pain shoot through my chest when I saw it, and good feel Joe's burning gaze in the back of my head. 'Edward tell the guys how you took those photos of me as a prank.'

'You took these photos as a prank,' Alice said disbelievingly staring at us two.

'Um, yeah, yeah, I did, I was dared to by...Liam.' He ran a hand through his hair and scratched his head, avoiding everyone's gaze.

'See now let's have dinner,' I smiled innocently and grabbed my coat. 'I don't know about you guys but I'm starving.' I walked out before anyone could say anything.

Since that event everyone has been watching Edward and I suspiciously (especially Tanya), we could never find the chance to talk before the sleepover the next night. I hadn't seen Detective Gary either but it has only been a day since the fight in the woods happened. I have had hardly any sleep and I am so keyed up on adreneline I can hardly stop and sit for mintures, let alone hours in class. When I bumped into Angela and asked her to the sleepover she said no becuase she had a date with Ben. Hearing this I grinned like a fool and forced every detail out of her, they would be so cute together. Besides that my day has been pretty normal, but I am dreading the sleepover, Alice's ridiculous plan to get Edward and me together will not work. Even though Joe thinks we are secretly together, he still gives me this look that makes me giggle, I can't wait to see his reaction when I say I was kidding.

'Bella only an hour until the sleepover,' Alice sung literally as we sat in the music room again. This time Katie and Keira were there with us watching us practice for the compitition.

'I can't wait,' I said sarcastically stringing the guitar absent mindedly.

'Oh My God do you guys want to here something seriously out there,' Katie squealed looking at us excitment clear in her eyes.

'Why not,' Rose said.

'Well I was walking to Government and you will never guess what I saw.'

'Your right we won't,' Keira agreed turning to Katie. 'So tell us already.'

'Well,' she continued slowly. 'I saw Tanya making out with... you ready...Joe!'

I felt my jaw drop as my finger played the wrong notes causing a horrible sound to be made.

'Holy, are you serious,' Alice yelled jumping up. 'This is great we can so use this to our advantage!'

'B-But what about Edward, wouldn't that upset him? His girlfriend cheating on him?' I asked still shocked. I seriously needed to talk to Joe.

Rose snorted as Alice answered me 'No, they have been fighting a bit more lately since the other night you know. I think she is finally getting the hint and she obviously is ready to move on, this is brillant.'

I sat there staring at the floor, this is all becuase of me, if I hadn't told Joe that stupid lie about me and Edward he wouldn't be kissing Tanya...

'Bella you okay?' Keira asked watching me curiously.

'Huh, Oh yeah, fine, just... surprised I guess...'

'I was too when I first saw it, I don't think I could have kept that in any longer,' Katie sighed.

I rolled my eyes at her and went back to my guitar only half listening to them talk. It would be nice , Tanya and Joe getting together then me and Edward... Edward I thought, and that kiss, well half kiss, god I wonder what it would be like to kiss him fully.

'Since were not getting anywhere with this I say we go back to my dorm and get it ready,' Alice suggested standing up.

'I agree plus I'm hungry,' Rose said joining her.

'Coming Bella,' Alice asked sweetly holding out her hand.

'Like I have a choice.'

We headed over to Alice's dorm and when we got in there it looked like a bomb full of blankets and pillows had hit it. They were everywhere, I couldn't help myself I ran over and dived onto it, snuggling into one instantly getting comfortable.

'Bella,' Alice whined. 'Your messing it up.'

'You'll live,' I mumbled waving her off. 'Naw, I still have to get my PJ's.'

'No you don't I planned ahead and bought you some,' Alice smiled and skipped over to her wardrobe. Seconds later she came back out and threw something at me. 'You will look hot in them, I can tell.'

'Why would I need to look hot in PJ's Alice, all I'm doing is wearing them to bed!'

'No you are wearing them through the whole party,' she announced pulling me up.

I groaned in annoyance at her and she just laughed 'Come on Bella, get changed and have a shower then I can work on your hair.'

'NO,' I yelled. 'No Bella Barbie!'

'Yes Bella Barbie,' she argued. 'Now scoot.'

There was no use in arguing so I did as she said, having a quick shower and putting on the PJ's which consisted of a small blue singlet top and cotton shorts with stars on them, that went mid thigh, even though they were kind of revealing, they were comfy. I walked out and Katie jumped into the bath room straight away being chased by Keira.

'Oh Come on I wanted the bathroom next,' Keira called through the door. 'You suck!'

'I found a song for us to sing Bella,' Rose laughed and put a CD into the stereo. I heard music begin to play and frowned confused as Rosalie began to sing while Alice danced and sung as a back up.

(Oooh) tell me what you think you're lookin at,
(Noo) so I think I'm Queen Elizabeth,
(Oooh) and now I'm stuck inside your memory,
(So) that's why it's so hard to get rid of me

I'm incredible, so unforgettable,
So no one can take my place
I'm unbreakable, highly flammable,
So girl get out my face

Oh my god I'm going crazy
Maybe 'cuz were so amazing
Everybody in there dazin'
That's the reason why they're hatin',
Treat us like some superstars
And only cuz that's what we are
You know we're going really far
And y'all ain't even heard it all

'Oh this song,' I chuckled joining her and Alice in the dancing. I grabbed a brush and began to sing along with them.

You hate cuz I'm a rockstar, a rockstar,
A pretty little problem, uh-huh,
You hate cuz I'm a rockstar, a rockstar,

And that I'm lying cuz I love it when you lookin at me
Cuz I'm a rockstar, a rockstar,
I said that I'm a rockstar, a rockstar,
(Keep lookin at me)

I began to sing by myself and strutting around the room as Alice and Rose began to say the back up words coping my movements.

(Wow) It seems to me like I was botherin'
(How) cuz I make walkin look like modelin
(How) it ain't my fault the boys keep followin'
(Wow) if you were better he wouldn't be wonderin'

I'm incredible, so unforgettable,
So no one can take my place,
I'm unbreakable, highly flammable,
So girl get out my face

Oh my god I'm going crazy

That's the reason why they're hatin'
Treat us like some superstars
And only cuz that's what we are
You know we're going really far
And y'all ain't even heard it all

'Katie, Keira come on and join us,' Alice said pulling them off the bed to dance with us. They didn't need to be told twice because they instantly began to dance with Alice and Rose. All of us yelling out the song.

You hate cuz I'm a rockstar, a rockstar,
A pretty little problem, uh-huh,
You hate cuz I'm a rockstar, a rockstar,
A pretty little problem, uh-huh

'Take a picture it will last longer,' I said the same time the chick did in the song. I heard clapping and saw the boys in the doorway holding more pillows and drinks watching us with amused faces.

'I thought you girls weren't going to be here until 5?' Liam said walking over and kissing Keira on the cheek. I looked at the group in the doorway and saw Edward standing there eyeing me up and down, I blushed slightly at his intense gaze and looked away at Joe. He was standing there casually eating a packet of chips when he noticed my gaze he looked at me questioningly.

'So Joe how was your 3rd period class,' I asked innocently crossing my arms. My question was rewarded by Joe beginning to choke on a chip he was eating, and coughing hysterically. I laughed and walked over slapping his back. 'That good huh?'

I heard the girls snigger behind me knowing exactly what I was talking about and the boys asking them what was happening.

'Bella I swear if you say anything, I will tell them about you and Edward,' he threatened and I couldn't help it I began to laugh. He looked at me confused but I just walked away, if only he knew.

'So our party begins,' Alice grinned bouncing up and down. 'And you know what that means, GAME TIME!'

'Which means,' Rose continued. 'Truth or Dare!'

I felt the colour drain from my face, ah crap, not good. I should have seen this coming, I growled in my head.

'Tanya's not here yet,' Edward interupted. 'We have to wait for her.'

'Fine,' Alice sighed. 'But I'm going to go call her.'

I walked into the kitchen when Alice left to try and find myself some form of cup for the drinks.

'Cups, cups, cups, cups, where are the cups?'

'In the second cupboard,' A voice answered.

I jumped and stumbled over my own to feet but luckily for me the voice's owner caught me before I went ass over. I looked up and straight into Edward's green eyes. I -of course- blushed and scrambled out of his grip.

'Don't scare me like that,' I hissed at him and walking to the cupboards.

'What did Joe mean when he said I will tell them about you and Edward,' Edward asked cutting to the chase. I froze in mid reach for the cup and blushed harder.

'Ahh, it was just a cover story I made up.'

'Which was,' he urged walking over to me and grabbing the cup I was reaching for. His other hand lifted me up by the arm and turned me to face him.

'It was nothing really I just told him that we were ah, you know, um, making...out,' I finished sheepishly.

I saw his eyes widen slightly and a intense emotion flicker though his gaze 'You told him we were making out.'

'Yes,' I said shakily. 'But it's okay he won't say anything, he promised me, and I-'

'Bella it is ok, don't be worried you always talk alot when your worried,' he pointed out. 'That was a good idea, to make a cover story.'

'Y-You don't mind that I told him we were making out,' I asked dumbfounded.

I smirked at me and shook his head 'Hardly.'

'Oh well then I, ahh-'

'Bella there's something I want to tell you,' he said nervously running a hand through his hair. I reached up and grabbed it holding it in both of my hands showing him I wanted him to continue. He turned his hand over and laced our fingers. 'Remember how you asked me why I cared so much about you lying to me, when we were in the forest?'

I nodded.

'Well it is because I-'

'TANYA'S HERE, LET THE GAMES BEGIN!' Alice yelled through the door at us. We jumped apart afraid someone was going to walk in and find us closer together, holding hands. I felt my heart beating erractically in my chest as I stared at the door.

'We should go out,' Edward mumbled his voice sounding frustrated.

'O-Okay.'

I walked out behind Edward and saw everyone sitting in a circle and the girls grinning evilly at us, this can not be good, not at all..

WOW! LONG CHAPTER...please REVEIW...Truth or Dare coming up next time.. hopefully updated sooner then this one was...BUT PLEASE REVIEW!
