Is That Really You?

Chapter 12

I unlocked my door, and closed it after me. I slid down the door, thinking.

Why wasn't he actually kissing me? It seemed like he didn't really like me. Maybe he was just shy. Maybe he just didn't like me. The two sides of my mind fought, as I wondered which one to believe.

Alice's POV

I woke up the next morning by the sun falling across my face. I moaned and stuffed my head under my pillow. I turned my head ever so slightly to the side so I could only see the clock.
I shot straight up. Shit! It was 10:37 AM! I overslept, and now I was late for work!

I threw my covers off my sweaty body, and flew into the bathroom. I took a quick shower, just long enough to wash my hair with my favorite lavender shampoo. I quickly blew dry my hair, and brushed it down. Then I threw on a dark purple v-neck dress that went right below my knees. I grabbed a pair of black flats, and a long black necklace. I took some matching bracelets, grabbed a green apple, and ran out the door and hailed a cab.

Usually I walked to work, but since I was running about 3 hours late, I had to get there fast.

As soon as we pulled up to the building, I threw a handful of money at the driver and ran to the doors. I ran up the stairs, not having the patience to wait for the elevator. I ran straight to my office, trying to gain my breath back. I hunched my back over, trying to breath deep breaths. I looked up, to see Bella looking down at me.

"Where were you?!?" Bella growled softly, looking me straight in the eye.

"I'm so sorry. My alarm didn't go off, and I overslept and-"

"It's ok." Bella laughed, her eyes softening.

I let a weak smile spread across my face, and I took a seat at my desk, only to be surprised to see a pile of dark red roses tied together in a white ribbon. I gasped, and looked at the little tag hanging off the ribbon.

Dear Alice,

I had a wonderful time yesterday. I hope you did too.

I thought you would like these, since red roses symbolize love, and white

stands for friendship. Those two words mean a lot to me.

I hope I can see you soon.

Love,

Jasper

I sighed. That was the nicest thing any boy had ever done for me, but I was very confused. Last night he acted like he didn't like me the way I liked him. But he signed it love, and he gave me red roses. I felt confusion spread across my face, and I ran to the lounge. I found an old Polar Springs water bottle, and untied the roses and put them it. I tied the ribbon in my hair, leaving a few strands dangling in my face.

I walked back to my desk, and placed the flowers on the right of my computer, which was closer to the window, where they would get the most sunlight.

I studied them for a second, and shook my head and started to work.

Bella's POV (OMG! I KNOW!)

I haven't seen Edward in 2 months. He has been working at that magazine. I didn't even wanna think the name. Sometimes I would close my eyes, and see his gorgeous green eyes looking back at me with love in them. Then I would open my eyes, and it was gone.

I cried every night. I still haven't gotten over him, and I was still heart broken. At least my work got my mind off him. I knew I still loved him, but I was sure he didn't love me back. He left. Just like that. Probably to get away from me because he hated me.

Edward's POV (OMG! I KNOW! AGAIN!)

I haven't seen Bella in 2 months. Sometimes I would close my eyes, and I would see her beautiful eyes looking back at me with love in them. Then I would open my eyes, and it was gone. I cried every night, mentally punching myself for being so cruel. I still haven't gotten over her. At least my work got my mind off her. I knew I still loved her, but I was sure she didn't love my back. I know she hates me. I did something that is unforgivable.

(I know. They are basically the same thing, but from both of their POVs. I wanted you to see what they were both thinking.)

Alice's POV

I trudged home, not wanted to waste money on a cab.

I dragged myself up the stairs, and unlocked my door. I ambled into the kitchen, and grabbed a bottle of water, and sat down at the table. I turned on the radio, and my favorite song was on

I like, where we are
When we drive, in your car
I like where we are...Here

Cause our lips, can touch
And our cheeks, can brush
Our lips can touch...Here

Well you are the one, the one that lies close to me
Whispers "Hello, I miss you quite terribly"
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly
Now there's no place else I could be, but here in your arms

I like where, you sleep
When you sleep, next to me
I like where you sleep...Here

Our lips, can touch
And our cheeks, can brush
Cause our lips can touch..Here.

I sighed, and turned off the radio. It made me think of Jasper too much. I had to get my mind off of him. Suddenly I had an idea.

I quickly picked up the phone, and dialed a number.

"Hey, Bella. I had an idea. I wanted to know if…"

SORRY! TERRIBLE CLIFFY, I KNOW. I'm sooo sorry!

Please review! Hopefully I will post more tomorrow!

Thanks!
