Ok, just realized this. I know Bella's b-day is in September, but for the story I moved it to the spring, sorry. And Once again I don't own Twilight

Chapter 7: Memories

I woke up extra early today. Today was my test…I was freaking out! Well maybe not freaking out, but I sure was nervous. This would truly determine the places I could get into for medical school. I was still debating about where I really wanted to go, but I didn't want to think about that today. I got in my shower and then got dressed afterwards. As I was gathering all my things, I got a call on my cell.

"Hello?"

"Good you're up. Meet us at the diner in fifteen minutes for breakfast," Alice said.

"Um Alice, have you forgotten that quickly? I have my test and it starts in an hour."

She giggled an evil giggle. "Oh Edward, look at your phone."

I looked at my phone and noticed it was only seven. I could have sworn it was ten. "What the…huh? Alice what did you do?"

"Hehe. I set your clocks ahead so you would wake up in plenty of time to be able to go to breakfast with us and not turn us down."

"You evil little pixie! I'm glad I went to bed early."

"Yep. So see you there."

She hung up before I could protest. I grabbed my keys and headed to the diner we frequented a lot. When I got there I walked in and saw a banner in the back of the dinner that said 'Good Luck Edward!'" I saw Emmett, Rose, Alice, Jasper…and Bella! They were all standing in the back grinning like idiots at me. I couldn't help but grin back. "Guys, you're too much!" Emmett pulled me in and gave me a noogie.

"Awww my little Edward is growing up!"

"Geez Em cut it out!"

He let me go and Alice pulled me into a tight hug. "You are going to do great today, I just know it!" Rose hugged me next, then Jasper. Bella was last and pulled me into a tight hug.

"You are so going to kick that test's ass!" She laughed.

"Thanks. I hope so."

She rolled her eyes. "Oh please. I've only known you a short time and I know you're brilliant!"

"Ok Bella. We don't need his ego sucking the oxygen out of the room," Rose laughed. We all sat down and the waiter came and took our orders. After that Alice got everyone's attention.

"Ok. Edward, we know this is a huge day for you! We know you are going to do awesome, but a little luck never hurt anyone. So we all decided we to give you our little lucky charms."

Alice pulled out her little fuzzy pink rabbit's foot that she has had forever. Jasper pulled out a pocket watch from a relative of his from the civil war. Emmett pulled out an arrowhead he found years ago while in boy scouts. Rose set her thimble out that had a picture of the New York flag on it; she had been collecting those for years. Then Bella pulled out a four leaf clover key chain. She giggled. "I know, so cliché but it has always been lucky for me!"

My friends were amazing. "Wow. Thank you all so much. Really, this is awesome." All I could do was smile at them. Our food arrived and we all began eating. Once we were done, I had an hour until the test, and decided to start heading over there. "Once again every one, thanks. You are the best friends a guy could ask for." They all said bye and I headed out the door. Before I could get far, I heard someone call my name. I turned around to see Bella running after me.

"Hey." She said.

"Hey," I brilliantly answered back.

She leaned in and kissed me on the cheek. Then she winked at me. "Go kick some ass!" Then she turned around and walked away. I stood there for a few mintues, smling like a goof ball. Then I turned and headed to the test place. When I got there, I took a seat and brought out all the tokens my friends gave me. I grabbed on to Bella's and held it in my hand. I sighed. For some reason, I wish her kiss had more meaning to it. I'm really not sure where that feeling was coming from. But I didn't have time to focus on that. Now, I had to focus on the MCAT.

I was in my room, a few days later, packing for our trip to Houston. Not necessarily a place I would have picked to go, but I knew we would have a blast. I decided to call Alice to ask her a couple of questions.

"Heeelllllloooooo," she sang into the phone.

"Hey Alice. What's up?"

"Oh nothing much. Rose and I our over at Bella's helping her pack."

I heard Bella say in the background, "Come on, now I like heels like any other girl but really! Ten pairs! You do now they have weight limits right Alice?"

I laughed as Alice sighed. "Whatever Bella. You don't have a say in what you pack! So anyways, what did you need?"

"Ok well first, stop torturing Bella, two, who's coming to get me tomorrow and when?"

"Well first off I'm not toturing Bella. I'm helping her out so she can catch the eye of a cowboy down in Texas, and Em and Jasper are picking you up at six."

I growled inside my head at her saying that about Bella.

"Um Edward, care to tell me why you just growled?" Alice asked.

What!? I did that out loud. "Um, well…"

"Hold on." I heard her make some noise and then a door shut behind her. "Ok, spill Edward…you like Bella don't you." She stated it instead of being a question.

"What? No, no I don't think. Its complicated."

"I'm sure I can keep up."

"Not over the phone."

"Ok, give me twenty mintues and I'll be over there."

"Wait Alice…" She hung up before I could say anything.

Twenty minutes later there was a knock at my door. I opened it and Alice just marched in to my bedroom. When I came in, I saw a scowl on her face. "Thank goodness I'm here. I'm going to have to oack for you too!"

I sighed and sat down on my chair as she start repacking me, throwing some things out and adding other things. "Ok, so whats up with you?"

I let out another heavy sigh, not knowing where to begin. "Ok, well, here's the thing. I know Bella from somewhere."

Alice froze and then looked over at me. "What exactly do you mean?"

"Well I don't know her know her, but I have seen her before."

"Damn it Edward just tell me."

"Ok, well a year and a half ago, you know after the…"

She smiled sadly, "Yeah I know."

"Well afterwards I was so…depressed. I honestly didn't know if I wanted to continue on. I was sitting at a light debating about whether or not to…to…"

Alice had tears in her eyes. "Edward!" She ran over to me and hugged me. "I…I didn't know! Why didn't you come to me?"

"I don't know…I was just…in a weird place."

Alice wiped her eyes and took a deep breath. "Ok, so where does Bella fit into this."

"While I was sitting at the light, I had this odd feeling to look over into the next car. When I did…I saw her. It was Bella. And she just gave me this look, that told me, it was all going to be ok. Her smile just made me realize that I had something to live for. And then she was gone."

Alice just stared at me. "Oh…my…god. Really? Does she remember?"

I just shook my head. "No I don't think she does. And why would she?" I put my head in my hands. "And so now I don't know if its just me being so grateful to her, or if these feelings are something else."

Alice thought for a second and then answered. "Well. I can't answer that for you, but maybe this week is just what you need, you know, to figure it all out."

I nodded. "Oh Alice, please don't say anything to Bella about this."

"No problem bro." She went back to my suitcase and sighed. "Honestly Edward; I thought I taught you better! You don't even have to boots I bought you packed!"

I just laughed and began packing my carry on. This break is just what I needed.
