I was in a good mood the whole way through breakfast and smiled with the others and actually laughed when they laughed. It was strange how one guy could make me feel so alive just by the simplest of words or the simplest of touches. Emmet wasn't happy that Edward had asked me out but I knew he was just being the big brother, trying to save me from another heart break. I would have to talk to him later but for now I wanted to be happy and Edward was making me happy. I told Edward that I couldn't go out tonight but that I was free for lunch and he told me that he would pick me up at twelve, I was nervous and happy and it just felt normal. I didn't have the feeling that I was about to break apart at any second and it felt so good. Rosalie and Alice looked at me with knowingly and Emmet and Jasper stayed oblivious to everything that was going on as usual, boys will be boys. When I looked at the clock again it was ten and I had two hours before Edward would be coming to pick me up and my nerves grew, it was like I had never been on a first date but then again I hadn't been on a first date since Mike.

"Bella? You ok?" Rose asked smiling at me and I told her that I was fine. If anyone wasn't fine around here it was her. She had gotten sick for a second time but when I asked about it she just said that she was feeling sick and that it was no big deal so I turned to Emmet and he told me that she had been getting sick randomly for the last few weeks, so I made her promise to go to the doctor and she said she would but that she wanted to wait for tomorrow because she wanted to have fun at the festival tonight. I gave in and agreed to her terms, as long as she was going to get help I was fine with it.

"So what are you going to wear today" Alice asked and I saw Emmet roll his eyes before taking a sip of his coffee. I shot him a look and he shrugged his shoulders and continued talking to Jasper about some car they were into, somethings never changed I guess

"I don't know, something simple and comfortable" I said and Rose made a face at me that I didn't understand, I get that she thought she had a better fashion scene than I did but it wasn't like I was dressing like a hippie or something. "whats wrong with that"

"It's a date Bella. Your normal jeans tank and sneakers aren't going to cut it" she said leaning forward on the table and looking me up and down "how about a nice sundress and sandal's" she suggested.

"Maybe not" I rejected her and she rolled her eyes and gave me a stern look. She was as stubborn as a mule sometimes. It was a wonder how Emmet got her to do anything sometimes.

"I agree with Bella" Alice said and we both looked at her with surprise written on our faces. She was normally the one trying to get me in to better clothes than I normally wore and she was agreeing on my usual casual look "yeah don't get used to it either but I think Bella should dress how she wants to" she said looking at Rose and I did the same only had a smug smile on my face. She glared at both of us.

"I still think she should wear a sundress" Rose said crossing her arms across her chest, not willing to back down, Emmet laughed and kissed her forehead while Jasper just smiled at his twin.

"ok how about this, you let me wear what I want to this afternoon and you can dress me how ever you want for the festival tonight" she looked at me and thought it over. Knowing Rose it was just for dramatic effect. "do we have a deal" I asked and she smiled

"It's a deal" she gave me an evil smile and I knew I was going to be in for it, I would be lucky if I didn't end up high high heels and a short dress that didn't cover anything, hopefully she would have mercy on me. We shock on it and carried on with our morning.

I went up to my room to get ready at eleven and jumped into the shower, quickly washing my hair and taking a deep breath to calm my nerves as the hot water relaxed my tense muscles. I don't know what was wrong with me, I never got this nerves when I went out with Mike or even when I started going out with Jasper.

I got out after fifteen minutes and towel dried my hair and then brushed it, I let it hang loose down my back in natural chestnut wave's.

I spotted my phone on the nightstand where I had left it this morning and hadn't bothered to check on it since then. The notification light was going off but I ignored it. Any kind of calls or messages were probably from people asking me how I was or what had happened and I didn't need that kind of drama right now. I would deal with it later after my date with Edward.

I slipped on a pair of skinny jeans, a red tank top and a black cardigan over it. I put on my sneakers and didn't do to much with my make up, just putting on a little mascara and eyeliner and grabbed my lip balm. When I looked at the clock it said it was five to twelve and that meant that Edward would be here at any minute, for all I knew he might show up early which he did do. I head a knock at the front door and tried to remind myself to breath when my nerves come flooding back with a vengeance.

"Bella?" the was a knock at my door and Alice walked in, a sweet smile on her face "whats wrong?" she said when I just stood there, not moving.

"Is what I'm doing wrong Ally" I said feeling the tears start to prick at my eyes. She smiled and come to stand in front of me, taking my hands into her and giving them a reassuring squeeze

"Bella you deserve to be happy and I see the way you look at that guy down stairs" she said and I bit my lip. "and so what if you just meet him, what matters is what you feel when your with him" she looked me in the eye and I could see the truth behind them. "now come on, you don't want to keep Edward waiting with Emmet and Jasper for to long" she joked and I let out a shaky laugh. I quickly wiped at my eyes and took a deep breath. She was right, all that mattered was how I felt.

We walked down together and I saw Emmet and Jasper standing side by side with Edward in front of them. It looked like they were having a pleasant conversation although Emmet was giving him a strange look, definitely going to be asking him about that later.

"So Edward what are your intentions with my little sister" Emmet asked out of the blue and Edward looked taken back and a little shocked. He fumbled over his words and I hit Emmet on the arm when I got down the stairs, just in time to save the poor guy it would seem "ow, I was just messing with him" emmet defended him self.

"Em I love you but your my big brother not my dad" I said and he looked at my sheepishly, he was annoying sometimes but I loved him anyway. I turned to Edward who had his eyes on me and I felt my blush grace my checks again. Just the way he looked at me was enough to make me forget about that last few year with Mike. "um you read to go" I asked him and he smiled and held his arm out for me to take which I did.

"Ready when you are" I laughed and walked out the front door with him. I saw his car in the drive way and was impressed that he had such a nice car. It was a sliver Volvo and it looked expensive, I didn't know what model though I was shit as car models.

"Have her home before five" Rose called out and I looked back to see her standing by the front door with a huge smirk on her face "and keep you hands to yourselves and don't forget that I will hunt you down if anything happens to her" I glared at her, wishing she would shut up already, I hoped she could feel my anger from all the way across the drive way. I flipped her off quickly and got into seat after Edward opened the door for me closing it behind him as he walked to the drivers seat. He had a bemused smile on his face and I gave him an apologetic one.

"I'm sorry about that" I said and he waved it off.

"Don't worry about it, their just worried about you, your older brother seems really protect of you, we have that in common" he said and stared the car

"You have a sister" I asked and he turned his head and nodded at me "thats really nice. Emmet's not my brother by the way"

"Oh... I thought... I mean he said you were his little sister" he said looking confused and I laughed

"Well I am" I said and he looked a little more confused which just made me laugh again "I'm not explaining this right. Emmet and I have been best friends Since we could walk and his a few months older than I am so we just consider each other brother and sister" I explained and understanding filled his green eyes. "but other than him I'm legally considered on only child"

"I get it, I'm the the second oldest of three" he said flashing me a smile "I know how it is to be the protective older brother but sometimes I would also give anything for a kind of friendship you and Emmet have" he said and a strange look passed over his eyes but it was gone the next second. It kind of looked like sadness or regret and even some anger. "but I also wouldn't trade my sisters for the world"

"Only boy?" he nodded "that must be fun"

"Ha, yeah. The complaining about random shit and the constant mood swings over nothing and don't get me started on how fussy they can be about what they wear, they can be so frustrating sometimes" he said

"Hey" I said "I happen to be one of those complaining, moody, fussy girls myself" I faked insult and he laughed and I couldn't help but laugh with him. He had such a great laugh.

"But in all seriousness my sisters are my world"

"Well I beat they are lucky to have such a great brother then" I said and he turned his attention from the road to look at me with this crooked smile that made my heart skip a beat.

"really?"

"really"
