A/N: Sorry it switches POV's so much, I have a hard time sticking on one character, I'll keep practicing.

AlicePOV

"Uh oh."

"What?" Esme asked without looking up from her book.

"Oh...Nothing, Edward is home."

'And he brought Jasmine' He would know that I thought that. I couldn't let him find out anything else.

I ran off to my room to drown out my thoughts, I had a feeling this would be difficult.

I recited my favorite page from my favorite book.

Then, I said all the times tables.

I could hear everyone downstairs, they were talking about playing baseball, it had been a while since we last played.

I continued saying random things for hours. I knew I would run out eventually.

"Alice?"

"3.14159"

"Alice?" It was Edward. "Do you want to go shopping with Jasmine?"

"2653589."

"What are you hiding from me, Alice?"

"Oh nothing." I smiled innocently.

"Alice, is something wrong?"

"No, every thing's fine. But no, I will not go shopping with Jasmine, we will be too busy playing baseball." I knew this would make him happy. He forgot all about my secret and went off to tell everyone to get ready.

The storm was coming fast. I was suddenly really excited, I turned around to see Jasper standing at my door.

"Are you ready to play?" He asked.

"Of course." For the moment, I forced myself to forget about Bella, and I joined my family to play baseball.

BellaPOV

We were at a fabulous restaurant. It had wonderful food, and a dance floor.

"Come dance with me." Alex begged.

"No, I really can't dance." I thought we had already gone over this.

"Anyone can dance, please."

I couldn't help but give in to his beautiful blue eyes. "Okay, one song." As I was getting up I thought I must have been dreaming. The only person I had ever danced with was Edward, and that was forced. As Max slid his arm around my waist, leading me to the dance floor, I felt at ease.

We started off just swaying back and forth, it actually wasn't too bad.

Then, he spun me.

"You're really good." He commented.

"I guess I never really tried before." I was amazed at my own dancing skill, I was practically floating across the floor, and with grace.

I don't know how long we danced for. I fit into his arms perfectly. When they started closing the restaurant doors, I realized it must be getting late.

"I should probably get home soon."

"Okay." He held my hand as we walked out the door. I didn't want to go home yet. I wanted to stay with him, but most of all I wanted to kiss him.

His lips were perfect, he was talking, but I couldn't hear him. I was mesmerized.

"What are you staring at? Is there something in my teeth?" He asked as we came to a stop light.

"No." That was when I lost control of my body. My lips moved their way to his mouth and kissed him.

I pulled back, "Sorry."

"No, that's okay. Just don't do it while I'm driving." He sounded mad.

"I'm sorry." He slowed the car down and pulled off the road.

"You don't have to be sorry, Bella." He pulled me close to him. "I love you Bella." He whispered in my ear. Then he kissed me. It was the most amazing kiss I had ever had. It was very gentle, but very passionate.

I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him as close to me as we could get. I wanted to stay in his arms forever.

AlicePOV

"Awwww." I screamed at the top of my lungs. Everyone stopped what they were doing.

"Alice? Are you okay?" Carlisle started coming over to me.

'I can't let Edward see.' He glared at me and started jogging over. 'oops, I thought too loud.'

I turned around and ran off into the forest. I could hear my brother yelling towards me.

"Let her go." I heard Esme say. I would have to thank her later.

I had to get far enough away. I had to think. I just ran. I ran as fast as I could. I had never been more thankful for the night, than right now. I ran past freeways, and towns, and mountains. No one could see me.

I finally felt far enough. I had no Idea where I was. I sat down under a tree. I wasn't aware that we vampires could cry. But there I was, crying. And I know my heart can't beat, but it felt like it was breaking.

Bella. How could she just forget Edward like that? How could Edward have let her.

And now I am the one in pain, while they are both happy. She looked happy, hadn't she. Yes, when they pulled away for air, she was smiling. And Edward, the sick bastard, is happy with Jasmine. Pretty, vampire Jasmine. Yes. They are both happy.

"This is better for her," I said trying to convince myself. "she needs to be with someone that won't eat her."

The convincing didn't do much. "She's supposed to be my best friend." I had never wished there was a God. But I knelt down and prayed, no I begged. I begged that I was wrong, and that I could change it. But I saw no way.

I spent the entire night under the tree. Crying.

BellaPOV

I could feel the sun on my cheek. I opened my eyes, expecting my ceiling, but it wasn't there. I was staring at the ceiling of a car. Max's car. I felt his arms tighten around me. We had fallen asleep. I looked at the clock, it was almost six.

"Max...Max...Max, I have to get home."

"Hmmm."

"Max."

"What?"

"I have to go home."

"Okay." He released me and sat up and rubbed his eyes.

I spent the entire way home praying that Charlie hadn't noticed my long absence, and was still sleeping.

When we got to my house, Charlie's police cruiser was gone.

"Thanks Max. I had fun. See you."

"Bye Bella." I thought I heard him say I love you, but when I turned around, he was already driving away.

Inside, on the kitchen table there was a note from Charlie:

Hey Bells,

Hope you had fun. Went to Billy's, might stay over depending on how long the game goes.

Love dad.

If he is at Billy's still, he would never notice. That was such a relief.

My phone vibrated in my pocket.

It was Max, 'I had fun last night. Hope your dad isn't mad. Love you.'

He was so sweet.

'No he's not home, he doesn't know. I love you too.'

I was a little hesitant about the last part, maybe this was all going too fast.

My phone vibrated again, 'Really?'

'Yeah'

MaxPOV

Wow, Bella loved me.

I was sneaking in my bedroom window, when my door flew open.

"Max!" I fell through the window, crashing to the floor.

She looked really mad. "Where have you been?"

"Calm down mum. I was with Bella."

"You were out all night!" The bit about Bella seemed to calm her down. "Where did you go?"

"A restaurant in Port Angeles. And then Bella fell asleep in my car, I didn't want to wake her."

"Don't you be getting too close to her." My mother said in her silly Jersey accent.

"Mum, don't worry. I won't."

"You're lucky you got me, any other sane mother would have grounded you right then." I was completely convinced that my mum was crazy. But I guess that's what made her so much fun. She sat next to me on my bed.

"When do I get to meet Bella?"

"Mum, I'm not sure that's a good idea."

"Why? Are you afraid that I'll scare her away?" I looked her up and down.

"Actually mum, yes. I think you will scare her away. Or you'll talk too much."

"I understand. But don't you dare break her heart, she's only human. They don't choose who to fall in love with any more than we do."

I knew exactly what she meant. I hadn't picked Bella, she was picked for me.

EdwardPOV

"Is Alice back yet?" I asked as Esme came into my room.

"No, she isn't." Alice had disappeared the night before, I have a feeling she was trying to hide something from me.

"Do you know what's wrong with her."

"No."

"Is she mad at me?"

Esme smiled sadly at me, "No Edward, I don't think she is."

"Edward!" Jasmine called me from downstairs. "Can we hunt now?"

"Yeah, be down in a minute." I yelled back, "Are you sure she isn't mad at me?" I whispered to Esme.

"Edward, go with Jasmine, Alice will come home when she's ready." She left the room to let me get dressed.

I picked out a pair of jeans and a shirt, and put them on quickly.

"What's wrong Edward?" Jasmine asked as I came down the stairs.

"Oh...Nothing. I'm fine." I grabbed her hand and led her to my car. We were going to our favorite hunting spot. The one we had met in. It was in Canada, only a hundred miles from the old house in Forks, I forced back thoughts of what else was in Forks.

"Baby? Are you okay? You're being really quiet." Jasmine asked after a few minutes.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just going over some thing in my head."

'She's happy, she's happy.' It sounded like Alice. But I couldn't tell where she was. I just kept driving.

'He's happy, he's happy.' I felt like I was getting closer to her.

'They are happy...No interfering.' She was definitely close now.

"Jasmine, will you keep an eye out for Alice? I can hear her thinking, but I can't tell where she is.

"Sure honey, anything." We rode in silence, both of us looking for Alice, me with my mind, Jasmine with her eyes.

We drove for miles before I heard Alice again.

'Stop crying you baby.' I was starting to get worried, but I couldn't ruin this for Jasmine. She had to hunt, if she wanted to make it through next week.

My phone started ringing.

"Hello?" It was Alice.

"Edward! Stop listening to me. Please. Just leave me alone." She hung up.

"Was that Alice?" Jasmine looked worried

"yeah."

"What was she yelling about?"

"I'm not really sure, I think she is mad at me."

"I'm sorry honey. She must have a reason, at least a future reason."

"She sounded really mad."

I looked at my phone, hoping Alice would call back to tell me what was wrong. I kept an eye on my phone the entire way to the forest, but she never called.

When we arrived we got out of the car.

"How about a little fun?" She asked.

"What did you have in mind?"

"First one to catch a bear wins."

"Oh, you're on." I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her toward me, her lips were soft, and were cold even against my own.

"One," I kissed her again.

"Two" Once more.

"Three" And with that we were off, I could hear her laughing behind me.

I looked over at her, her beautiful brunette hair flowing in the wind. Her back was turned to me, so I stopped and just watched her, I could see the sparkling of her skin.

I could smell her, even over the scent of the deer she had just killed. She was such a graceful killer, so powerful, so beautiful.

"Edward, I'm going to win." She yelled out to me. I did not want to compete, I wanted to stare at her, forever.

BellaPOV

Jessica had demanded that I call her and give her all the details.

"How was it?"

"it was fun."

"What did you do?"

"we went to a restaurant, and we danced."

"You danced? Wow. What else?"

"Actually, that was about it. We fell asleep in his car, and woke up this morning."

"YOU SLEPT IN HIS CAR?"

"Yes, you don't need to shout."

"OMG. Bella, did you sleep with him."

"No! We were just kissing, and I guess we fell asleep."

"He kissed you?!?!"

"Yeah. He is so sweet, after he dropped me off, he texted me and said he loves me."

"Bella, you get all the good guys, I mean, first Cullen, and now him!"

"Yeah."

"Sorry Bella, I guess I shouldn't talk about Edward yet."

"No, no, It's fine. I'm over him."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I think so. Jess, I have to go, I'll talk to you later."

I really was over Edward.

"Edward." Even saying his name was fine.

JacobPOV

I watched Bella dance with Max. They had no idea I was there. I wasn't following them, well not by choice.

"Jake, you told her to protect her, now you have to protect her. Something is weird with this Max guy." Sam had never really liked Bella, but he was right.

"Max isn't a bad guy, I was there when she met him."

"Jake, vampires aren't our only enemies."

"What are you saying."

"I'm only saying that Bella has a way of getting herself in with the wrong people. Just stay with her until we can be sure."

I went home when they started making out in the car, that was the last thing I wanted to see,
