Ok, I'm getting some reviews saying ppl love edward's new attitude and style. Well, I'm glad ur happy! I just want you to know that his bet won't last forever. He's either going to win, Carlisle calls it off, or he's going to lose. Just, at one point, he will go back to being him. I can tell you it will be one funny chapter once it happens! I hope my readers stick around for that! Ok, on with the fic!

Random Mistakes

"ALICE!" I screamed as she carried me up the stairs and into her room. "PUT ME DOWN!" No matter how much I screamed, however, she just continued to hum to herself. Finally, she threw me onto her floor, locking the door. "You know, if I really wanted to leave, that wouldn't stop me."

"I know," Alice said. "But knowing what Esme would do to you if you hurt her door might." She had a point there.

"What on God's Earth could you possibly want, Alice?" I asked her, my patience spent. She giggled before plopping down on the ground with her dancer's grace.

"To play a game."

She had to be kidding me.

"A game?" I repeated flatly.

"Yes. Truth or Dare."

"Truth." I couldn't believe she would kidnap me from my room to play Truth or Dare.

"Did you let it out yet?"

Ah, so this is what she was getting at.

"I'm leaving," I said. I tried to reach for the door, but she pushed me back down.

"Bella-"

"I'm grieving in my own way Alice, now let me through."

"You're going to explode..."

"NO I'M... not..." I had to stop myself from screaming.

"See?"

"I only yelled because you're pissing me off."

"You need to let it out."

"Alice... just... stop. Let me do this my own way..." I placed my hand on the doorway, just wanting it to open.

"Fine..." And then she opened the door. I walked out, hesitant at first. I wasn't sure if she was serious or if she was just going to throw me over her shoulder again. It seemed safe. At least, until I reached the stairs. That was a whole new horror.

He looked at me with hurt, saddened eyes. Then he fell to his knees as if he was about to cry.

"You knew..." he whimpered. He placed his hand over his mouth and moved so he was leaning against the wall. "Bella..."

"Edward?"

He heard. He heard Alice and I.

"Bella," he said my name, choking on it. "I'm so sorry!" And then he was sobbing into his knees. He felt so bad because I found out. Because I found out and was keeping it from him. I rushed over to him, grabbing his face and pulling it to my shoulder. His arms clutched my elbows as he chanted my name and apologies through his sobs. Suddenly, he reminded me of a child. It was then that I realized, even as old as he was, he still thought like a child. He didn't know how to protect me. It made me hold him closer until he stopped.

"I am so sorry Bella... I-I," he stammered. Edward was at a loss for words... It was extremely odd.

"Shh. It's ok," I told him. "You wanted to protect me... from what I'm not so sure... but you tried. It's ok."

And then the man inside him took over again. He stood, taking me up into his arms, and took us down to our bedroom. I noticed Alice slipping away into her room as we turned the corner. I'd be asking her how long she was there later. He shut the door with his foot, setting me onto the mattress. He looked at me with solemn eyes before sinking to the floor on his knees.

"Gods, Bell... I just-"

"It was going to happen eventually," I interrupted him, trying to show him how fine I was, even if it was just show. His head shot up when he heard that. "Renee's going to die soon too... and Phil." He made a weird face at that. I thought he'd be happy to know I at least would be acting fine. I tilted my head to the side.

"I've completely changed you..." he murmered.

"What?"

"I've turned you cold... Bella, he was your father."

"I know that." Damnit, this was not what I wanted to talk about. It was like the universe was trying to get me to blubber about it.

"How can you just say it was going to happen then?" he asked in honest shock.

"Well it was..."

"And you're just going to accept that?"

That threw me for a loop. Was I?

"Yes..." I said after some hesitation.

"You don't have to act-"

"I'm not." I knew I was being short with him, but I was seriously sick of this conversation. Alice took every moment she could find just to get me to stop acting. It was pissing me off. I would get over it in time and they didn't need to encourage ridiculous behavior! It was honestly infuriating! They knew damn well that my parents were going to die eventually, and they knew me well enough to know I could handle it! Why did they all of the sudden think I couldn't?!

And then it hit me.

"This all has to do with Alice's vision," I said. It wasn't a question. It was the truth finally being realized. Edward nodded.

"What did she see?!" I practically yelled. He opened his mouth to say something, but then he just turned away. "Edward..." I was practically begging. When Edward looked at me again, I knew he couldn't resist for long.

"Bella... I... shouldn't."

"You shouldn't..." I scoffed. "Isn't that what you said when you first saw me...? Talked to me? ... Kissed me?" The last part was quieter. Edward was puddy in my hands. I felt bad doing this to him, but I had to know. I would make it up to him later. He sighed, giving in.

"Alice saw you... exploding. It was like every repressed emotion just came out like an atomic bomb, completely wasteing Japan. It was at someone who was extremely important..."

"So that's why she's been bugging me to 'grieve'." I used finger quotes.

"Yes..."

"Who was the important someone?"

He lifted his eyebrows, clearly showing his amazement in the fact that I didn't know.

"Martin?" I guessed.

"We think so."

"Hm..." Then I punched him.

"What was that for?!" he exclaimed, clearly surprised by my actions.

"Never... EVER hide something like that from me again... DO YOU HEAR?!" I yelled. Hey, if I was going to let it out I could at least have some fun with it. Edward's eyes were wide with unexplained fear as he fell off the mattress. When exactly he had gotten on it I wasn't sure, but he was falling off it now. "Well?!"

"Y-yes ma'am!" he squeaked. He was so amusing sometimes.

"Good." And then I kissed him lightly on the lips before hopping over to our walk-in closet. "I'm going to take a shower. Care to join?"

He got up pretty fast.

I pulled a brush threw my wet, tangled hair.

"Need some help?" Edward asked when I got stuck with a knot. I nodded dumbly, the brush staying in my hair even though I'd pulled my hand away. Edward took hold of it, gently pushing it threw my locks as he kissed my forehead. I suppose I was forgiven for my earlier actions. Eventually, my hair was knot free.

"Thank you!" I said happily. He smiled at me sweetly.

"Anytime..."

And then, a feeling rushed through me that truely came out of nowhere. I felt like I'd forgotten something... I looked around the room, as if the walls would give me a hint.

"Do you get the feeling we forgot something?" Edward asked suddenly.

"I thought you couldn't hear me!" I accused.

"I'll take that as a yes..."

What could we have forgotten? I ran over to the closet, quickly getting dressed and throwing some clothes at Edward. Oh, did I forget to mention that we were naked? Must have slipped my mind. Oh well, too late now. Anyway, once we were dressed we rushed upstairs where the rest of the family had gathered.

"Forget something?" Carlisle asked as we came into view.

"Apparently," said Edward. I looked to Jasper, as did Edward. Suddenly his eyes grew wide with realization. "Stupid stupid stupid!" he chanted.

"What'd we miss?" I asked Jasper flatly. Edward was too busy with self-loathing to be of much help. He would now punish himself for missing what ever he missed.

"Who were we suppose to keep tabs on today?" Jasper asked. Oops.

"STUPID STUPID STUPID!" I mimicked. God!

"Come on," Edward said, pulling me along with him.

"Where are we going?!"

"To do our job..."

Oh, heh... I should have seen that coming. Emmett looked at me with the oddest expression. Aw, my lovable bear of a brother still didn't know! How quaint. I mouthed the word Martin. He scrunched his face. Ha, I could just imagine what he was thinking. 'Stupid stupid stupid'. We are all so predictable.

Edward pulled out of the gravel drive and drove onto the street. He kept muttering things like 'ADD' or 'Sugar High'. I wasn't too sure what he meant by those, but with the anger he was putting into those words I didn't dare ask. It would probably be a long-winded explanation. Edward had a habit of doing that. Eventually he straightened up, though. As always. I think he was bi-polar as a human and it was enhanced as a vamp. I had to tell Edward my new theory about stuff like that later, too.

Now, of course, was not the time. He was still ranting about God-doesn't-want-to-know-what. I merely rolled my eyes.

Eventually, he stopped. The car I mean. The ranting wouldn't come back until someone would accidently mention tonight and how he was, GASP, normal and forgot about something. Ok, I needed to stop. I was being utterly sarcastic about my husband at the moment when I shouldn't be. There's nothing wrong with being a word-I-can't-say-because-it's-taboo-ist. Ok, now I wasn't making any sense. I shook my head to rid myself of those idiotic thoughts. I really like cheese... I thought, just because it was random. Good God, what the hell was I doing?!

"BELLA!" Edward called to me.

"Whoa, you don't have to yell, I can hear you just fine!" I exclaimed.

"NOW you can. I've been talking to you for the past five minutes..."

Oh, heh heh...

"You have?" He nodded. "No comment." He chuckled. Apparently he didn't want to ask either. I looked at the house that apparently Miss Alyza Martin lived in. It was time to become her stalker of the night. Ok, we'd be stalking her during the day too, but it wouldn't sound as cool if I said 'stalker of the day and sometimes when she's not looking the night.' Ug, forget it. I'm a babbling fool today.

CmH signing off. Ok, there is a perfectly good explaination for why Ed and Bella are acting this way. However, I'm not gonna tell you! MUAHAHAHAHA! You'll have to READ to find out! I know, how evil of me.
