Hi everyone, Sorry it has been so long since I've updated… School has been crazy. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter. I thought I had it all planned out until I changed my mind a bit… So here it goes. I don't own twilight, but I did just buy P.S. I Love You the movie! Thanks to my wonderful Chica and Beta, Can't Decode Me. I love you!
APOV
We were sitting watching the movie that Jasper had put in after Inception that was really good. Rose and Emmett were sitting on the love seat together and Jasper and Edward were both sitting in huge recliners. Bella and I were sitting on the couch until she got up a while ago and disappeared into her bedroom.
"I haven't seen Bella in a long time, she's been gone for forever. Maybe I should go and check on her.." I thought to myself. "I hope she isn't sick or something." I quietly got up and left the living room, and turned the corner to her room.
"Bella?" I asked as I opened her bedroom door, and stopped in mid tracks. I felt my eyes wander over her face, and towards Edward's as shock overcame my mind. Her hands were tangled in his hair, and his hands resting on her small waistline. I didn't want to think about anything, things lately were happening so fast. I never expected for Bella to be kissing Edward…ever. They were just friends, right? Well I guess I could say the same for us, but that was different. I had told her I was gay, and that I wanted to be with her yesterday. I know she didn't feel the same way about me, but it wasn't even 24 hours before she was kissing someone else. Didn't our kiss mean anything to her? I know it's not what I feel about it, but even as a friendship kiss? I feel so betrayed, and my face shows it. I look at Bella, her chocolate brown eyes staring back at me. Her face looks devastated, obviously she didn't want me to walk in on her like this.
"Alice…"she trailed off.
"I'm sorry, I'll let you guys be." I said softly, hurt inside. I turned around and walked out of the room, leaving Bella and Edward alone. As I walked out, I took a deep breath.
"I need to relax, this can be considered possessive relationships or something." I thought to myself. "I'm happy for her, if she wants to be with Edward then she should, or with anyone else for that matter. I really would hope that they work out."
I fought with myself inside my head, trying to think of what to think of this all. I wanted to be with Bella, but of course that would never happen. I wouldn't ever be able to do that, but one could only hope, right? I want her to be happy, with whoever she is with, whether that is me or Edward or anyone else for that matter. I should stop being so selfish and think of what's best for her, not for me in this situation. I went into my bedroom, not really in the mood to talk to any of the others that were in the living room. I closed the door behind me, the hurt filling me. It wasn't that I was hurt because of her kissing Edward, I just.. didn't know what I wanted. I was so confused, and lost, and hurt. I heard the door creek open behind me, and I looked up from the bed.
"Alice… I'm really sorry you had to see that. I didn't mean for you to." Bella said to me, coming to sit next to me.
"It's ok Bella, it's not your fault. I just feel lost with myself… and like I don't belong with anyone." I said honestly, with no intention of getting guilt or pity.
"Alice! Don't ever say that about yourself, it's not true at all. You belong, you belong as my best friend, and Rose's best friend." I stated.
"Thanks Bella.." I said out loud. I then was curious about what had happened, which lead me to my next question. "Why were you and Edward even kissing anyways?" I asked her.
She started immediately laughing, her chuckle filling the whole bedroom.
"It's a long story. He came in when I was going to change into pajamas… and I was standing there in my bare underwear when he actually said something to let me know he was standing there. I was so embarrassed, but then he told me how hot I looked.." she trailed off and said the last part with her cheeks turning bright scarlet red. I could sense something was different about her since the bedroom incident.
"Bella… Do you like him?" I asked, practically jumping on her. Sure, I had my suspicions about them, but I didn't actually think that I was right! Bella's face turned an even brighter red if that was possible, and her eyes disconnected from my stare. I knew that look all too well, which meant only one thing.
"You do like him!" I squealed with enthusiasm.
"Alice, why do you know me so well enough to decipher my facial expressions? It's not fair!" Bella whined.
"Because, I just have those mad skills." I stated boldly. Bella took a pillow from my bed and smacked me with it in the head.
"Bells! This calls for W-A-R!" I yelled at her playfully. I quickly hopped off the bed and grabbed my massive pillow, fighting with her like it was a sword. There were feathers flying all over my bedroom, and Bella and I were laughing so hard that no noise was coming out. I fell back to the bed quickly and was grasping my stomach from the pain. Bella was already on the floor, tears rolling down her cheeks uncontrollable.
Once I had caught my breath and was actually able to form words again, I got up and looked down at Bella.
"Come on, let's go and visit with everyone else before they leave." I said as I grabbed her small hand in mine and pulled her body off of the floor.
"Sounds good, seems like ages since we saw them all even though it was not even two hours ago." she pointed out.
"Yeah it does, so much has happened." I replied, opening my door to walk out. I was almost out of the door and into the hallway when I heard shouting. I turned to look at Bella behind me, and she gave me a weird look.
"Why would you hurt me like this? I really cared about you… I don't know what else to say to you Rose." Emmett shouted, his voice booming throughout the apartment. I was sure the neighbors could easily hear them, and considering it was almost 10, they probably wouldn't be happy. Bella whispered to me quietly, not wanting her voice to interrupt their argument.
"What are they talking about?" she asked, my ears barely picking up on her words.
"I have no idea…" I whispered back.
"I could tell that something was wrong earlier, but Rose never said anything about it, and I didn't want to bring it up ad upset her for some reason. I am curious though." Bella said. Just then Edward and Jasper came through via the kitchen, with sad looks on their faces. I looked at them quizzingly, wanting answers. Bella and I had missed the whole conversation, and I wanted in on it. Not knowing was killing me, and I wished I could help Rose out in some way.
"What's wrong with them?" I questioned genuinely.
"Yeah, what happened?" Bella followed up.
"Rose and Emmett got in a fight.. Apparently this has been going on for a few days now, and tonight was the night that the straw broke the camel's back." Jasper replied.
"What are they arguing about? They seemed just fine a few days ago." I said. I could hear talking from the other room, and Rose's voice was flooded with tears and sobs, but I couldn't make out what they were saying.
"Well… We were just watching the movie when Emmett came out and asked Rose what was the matter with her, and why she had been so distant in the past few days. Rose started sobbing and I could barely hear what she was saying to him. Emmett got mad because she was crying, and wouldn't tell him anything about it. She just said that she couldn't do it anymore, and that something wasn't right. Now I just think he feels hurt. I would too." said Jasper.
"I think something has been going on between them that feels different, and Emmett can't figure out what it is. He just exploded in the living room when she wasn't in his lap laying with him." Edward added. Bella and I just stayed quiet and nodded our heads while listening to the boys explain what had happened.
"We snuck out when things were getting heated so that we didn't intervene." Jasper said.
"Good idea." Bella said simply. By this time Rose came into the hallway and quickly ran to the bathroom. I was about to follow Bella in to talk to Rose when Jasper's voice interrupted my thoughts.
"I think it's probably time for us to leave.." He trailed off, clearly getting the hint of Emmett in the living room grabbing his coat off the side chair.
"Yeah…ok." I said back.
"Thank you so much for having us tonight, we'll talk to you girls soon." Edward said sweetly.
'Sounds good, see you all later." I said, letting them lead themselves out. I walked over to the bathroom door and quietly knocked, but not waiting for a response before opening it anyways. Bella was sitting on the bathroom counter, twirling Rose's hair in her fingers. Rose was on the floor against the wall, her head between her legs. I came and sat down next to her carefully, considering the bathroom wasn't that big.
"Are you ok, Rosie?" I asked her as sweetly as I could, not wanting my voice to scare or upset her shaking form.
"I can't…. I can't do it anymore." She said, pulling her head away from her knees. Her cheeks were stained with makeup, and tears were flowing freely from her emerald green eyes. I wiped the ones falling with my thumb, hoping in any way to comfort her. I took her warm hand in mine, entwining my fingers with mine. She squeezed my hand, so I knew she was accepting of my affection. She looked at me, her eyes shining into mine.
"What can't you do, baby?" I asked her softly.
"I don't know…something just doesn't feel right between us anymore. I'm not attracted to him anymore like I used to be, and our relationship is lacking. It's like something is missing, and I can't figure it out.." She whimpered.
"How long have you known Rosie?" Bella asked her what was going through my head.
"I have felt it for weeks now, I was just scared. I was denying it to myself, saying nothing was wrong and nothing had changed between us. That it was me and not him… and now I know it is me, and not him. I think I broke his heart…" she cried through hard sobs, her body racking with shakes that followed her desperate breaths for air.
"Rose, It will all be ok, I promise." I told her reassuringly.
"It will?" she asked, clearly uncertain of everything happening.
"Of course. If it didn't work out between you guys, then it didn't work out. It's okay." I said to her honestly.
"I just feel so guilty. I ruined everything." she sobbed, the tears starting again.
"It's not your fault, if something wasn't right, then it wasn't right. You aren't at fault for that, honey." Bella chimed in.
"I hope he forgives me and we can still be friends." she said, happiness coming out in her voice."I love Emmett, I really do, it just didn't feel right."
"And that's ok." I finished for her. She nodded her head. Bella jumped off from the counter and took Rose's other hand and pulled her up off the bathroom floor.
"Do you want to go get in bed?" Bella asked her. Rose said she did, so we all got into pajamas and went into Bella's bedroom since she had the biggest bed. We laid there together, with Rose in the middle of Bella and I, and we just talked about everything that happened tonight. She was informed about Bella and Edward's kissing, and my fiasco with being gay, and we kept talking about her and Emmett. Eventually she fell asleep in my arms, with Bella holding her waist from the back.
I laid there and thought about the day, and what was wrong with Rose. She didn't say exactly what was missing, or what just didn't seem right, but I had my suspicions. I felt bad for her, and I know Bella did too. Rose and Emmett had been together for almost 5 months previous to this argument, and besides the occasional bickering and snapping, they never got in a fight. We all thought they were made for each other. They did everything together, from going to dinner and the movies, to going to class for Chemical Engineering. I was kind of shocked when I heard the shouting, and so was Bella by the look of her face. After thinking about the day I fell asleep, tiredness taking over my mind and body.
