I finally got this chapter up, sorry it took so long, I couldn't think. Anyway, this chapter is short, but I like it. So, I hope you do!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything. yawn.

This chapter is different, It's in Edward's POV, yay. And thanks to Mistikalfiredragon for the idea of both POV, cuz stupid as I am, I hadn't thought of that, haha. Enjoy!

Oh, haha the title is kinda wierd, but I couldn't think of anything, and that is my favorite line from this chapter, haha I love it.

"I Asked You First."

"Edward!" Emmett said, waltzing into my room. I looked up from the piano keys to stare at him.

"What?"

"Come downstairs! Esme wants you to, and everyone is here already." I felt a strange sense of deja vu. He had said almost the same thing last week, when Alice invited everyone to come over to watch movies. Though that wasn't why I remembered that night.

Tonight, Esme and Carlisle had invited over a bunch of friends for a barbeque, including Jasper, Rosalie, and their parents, and Alice had invited Bella. I looked back at Emmett. He was grinning. "Bella's here." He said, then dodged the pillow I threw at him.

I glared at him, but after a minute, I gave up. I sighed, stood up, and walked toward him. He turned without a word, and marched down the stairs. No one was down there, so we went outside the back door. A group of people were talking and laughing on the patio. I sighed again, and continued to follow Emmett.

Emmett went straight to where Alice, Rosalie, Jasper and Bella were sitting on a blanket on the grass, next to the concrete. Emmett sat right down next to Rosalie, and I just stood there.

"Oh, hey Edward, there you are." Alice said. I nodded, and kneeled down next to Jasper.

Jasper tried to talk to me, but soon gave up. I think Jasper and Emmett were talking about baseball, and Alice and Rosalie were talking about shopping. Bella was quiet. She was looking down at her hands while she played with a fraying corner of the blanket. She didn't look up until Emmett, Rosalie and Alice stood up.

"Let's go get some food." Emmett said, and Jasper got up to go with them.

"Bella, aren't you hungry?" Alice asked, and I looked at her to see what she would say.

"No, I'm okay."

"Okay."

They left, heading toward the rest of the people on the patio. Bella looked down again, and I started to get up, not wanting to make her uncomfortable. I stood up, and she looked up at me. I smiled slightly, and she blushed, her cheeks turning pink. I turned and followed where Alice had gone, unsure of what else to do. I stopped when I was standing next to Jasper, and looked back at Bella.

She wasn't looking at me. She just stood up, and went to go sit on the side of the back porch, away from everybody. I watched her. She didn't do anything, just sat and played with her hands.

Without really thinking, I started to walk toward her. She looked up when I was in front of her. She blushed again.

"Hi." I said, smiling.

"Hi." She said softly, looking back down. Slowly, I sat down next to her.

"Are you okay?" I asked, and she looked sideways at me.

"Yeah, why?"

I shrugged. "You seem like you don't want to be here right now." I said, feeling stupid.

She shrugged too. I smiled. "No, I do. Well. ." She murmured. She opened her mouth to say something, but hesitated. "I guess."

I laughed. "What?" She asked, and I shook my head. She smiled.

"Do you want to be here right now?" She teased, and I laughed.

"I asked you first."

"Well actually, you didn't ask, and I already did answer. Kind of." She pointed out, and we both laughed. She was so easy to talk to.

"All right, fine. Well, I don't mind being here now, even after Emmett practically dragged me down the stairs." I said, trying to not emphasis the word 'now'. She smiled, I guess she hadn't noticed.

"That's good."

That's how most of the night continued. We talked about everything; movies, food, sports, people, music, and books. Endlessly books. We laughed and talked for I don't know how long. Hours.

Eventually, Alice came over to us.

"Hey Bella." She stopped, looking at me. "Edward." She said, raising her eyebrows. I looked down.

"Bella, It's getting late. Do you want to call Charlie and tell him your spending the night?" Alice asked.

"Okay." Bella said, then turned to me, and smiled.

"Thanks." She said, then got up and left with Alice. Thanks? For what? I watched her leave. She didn't look back.

I looked around. I had barely noticed what was happening, I had been so caught up talking to Bella. Every one was almost gone, a few of Carlisle's friends were still talking to him, and one of Esme's friends was sitting with her. Emmett and Jasper were playing catch with a baseball, and Rosalie must have been inside, I couldn't see her. After a minute, Emmett and Jasper went inside. I followed their example.

Inside, I went up to my room. I sat down at my piano, and starting playing a random melody. After a few minutes, Alice walked into my room. I stopped playing, and turned to face her. She went and sat down in the middle of my bed, and stared at me, raising her eyebrows. I stared back at her, waiting for her to say something.

"Well?" She questioned.

"What?" I snapped.

"'What?' What is going on between you and Bella?" She said. Oh. That.

I turned back around. "Nothing." I muttered. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her raise one eyebrow.

"Nothing." I said again.

"That's not what Emmett said." She muttered. I turned around again.

"What did Emmett say?" I snapped.

"That you love Bella." She said, matter-of-fact. "And I'm not going to tell her." She stopped.

"You are." She added.

"I am?" She nodded, then got up and left.

I tried to go back to playing the piano, but I couldn't concentrate. My thoughts kept going back to Bella. Then I realized what I had done. How much more I had fallen in love with Bella, and how much more I realized she didn't feel the same about me.

Aww I love this chapter! Anyway, what do you think? Tell me! also, "I asked you first." Aww, love that, I dont know why I just do.
