I apologize greatly for the huge wait! My internet was down and I couldn't really write from my phone… I've decided that I am going to write mainly in Bella's POV. and only in Edward or Jaspers when they are talking when Bella isn't there.

. I may not even continue… Let me know what you think. I have a few chapters written before this decision though so enjoy :]

Chapter 6:

BPOV

At lunch Jasper dragged me to his table against my will. I let him reassure me by putting by hand in his and I took a deep breathe as I dove into the unknown. Everything quieted when I sat down but soon resumed to normal. I had chosen a seat between Alice and Jasper, and was directly across the table from Edward. I was introduced to Emmet and Rosalie, but they were too focused on each other to pay any attention to me.

I watched Alice sitting quietly and picking at her food. I decided that I need to speak with her again. After the move to Phoenix, I had never had another friend like Alice, and I did not want to live in Forks without one. I waited for her to look up from her food and I made eye contact with her.

"It's great to see you again Alice" I said with a big, honest smile.

A surprised look crossed her face before it was replaced with a relaxed smile, "Same, your looking great Bella" she replied.

Her smile seemed welcoming enough so I decided to apologize and get it over with. "Alice, I'm so sorry for the way we drifted apart. You are a great friend and I hope that we can be the same way we were before I moved to Phoenix. I understand if you don't want to, but I regret not keeping in touch with you." I smiled hopefully when I finished.

"I totally forgive you Bella! I thought it was something I had done. It would be so great to be best friends again! We NEED to go shopping for some bonding time!" She took a great breathe of air when she was done and I couldn't help but laugh at her enthusiasm.

I looked over at Jasper and saw that he was smiling at me. He glanced uneasily at Edward and I knew he was trying to tell me "He's next".

Lunch finished smoothly and Alice reminded me of our plans as I made my way out of the cafeteria. We were going shopping in Port Angeles Saturday. As soon as Jasper and I got out of the cafeteria doors her lowered his head to my ear and whispered "Don't think that Alice is going to have you all day". This sent shivers up my spine, and I knew now was the time for the payback I had promised him.

I stopped and turned towards him. I brought his head down to my level and started whispering into his ear "I wouldn't dream of it". I then turned his head so he was face on with me and moved in as if I was going to kiss him. We made eye contact and as our lips were about to touch I saw a flicker of realization cross his face. I laughed mentally, then quickly turned my head to kiss him on the cheek. I then skipped off to my next class and looked back to see Jasper chuckling to himself and turn in the direction of his next class.

I made my way to English class and realized that I would be seeing Edward. I was not looking forwards to trying apologies again, but decided I would just have to get it over with. I sat down and decided to get ahead of the game, and try to begin my apology before the bell rang to start class. I turned towards him and saw that he was already looking at me. This surprised me and I took a second to recollect myself. During this time Edward began to speak.

"Bella, I would like to apologize for the way I behaved yesterday. You were only trying to be nice and I shot you down. I will admit I had bad sentiments towards to after what happened, but I now realize that you had not intended to hurt me. You intended to the exact opposite by not dragging out the process. I hope that you can forgive me, and that we can be friends."

He let out a long breathe when he finished and looked at me, waiting my response. I was shocked by the sudden change of attitude, but was pleased by his understanding.

"Edward, I would love nothing more then to have things the way they used to be." I added a smile at the end to show that I was really happy. We spent the rest of the class talking and catching up with each other. I realized that Edward had turned into a really great person, not that he wasn't before I had left, and that he was extremely intelligent and opinionated.

A thing that you couldn't help but notice when you were around Edward was how handsome he was. He wasn't the same type of handsome as Jasper. Jasper looked like the only thing he was missing was a pair of cowboy boots. He was ruggedly handsome. Edward looked like he was straight out of a magazine. He looked like a model. His features we so perfect, he looked like he was carved out of stone.

I was pulled from my thoughts when the bell rang. Edward and I walked together to the student parking lot and I laughed when he put his arm around my shoulders and we talked and joked during the walk. As the parking lot came into view I saw that Jasper was already waiting by my truck. My heart jumped and I wondered if I would ever be able to stop it from doing that whenever I saw him.

As we got closer I saw that Jasper had a look on his face that I had never seen before. He looked slightly angry. I couldn't think of anything I had done to bother him and then it dawned on me. When I had told Edward that "I would love nothing more then to have things the way they used to be" I think he may have interpreted it differently then I meant him too. Edward and I used to be a couple.

I snuck out from under his arm and shouted a 'seeya' over my shoulder as I made my way towards Jasper. I greeted him with a kiss on the cheek to get rid of the troubled look on his face. I was glad that Edward and I were talking again, and I wanted to be the friends we used to be, not the boyfriend and girlfriend. As I thought this I saw him slide gracefully into his car and couldn't help but notice the rest of his features. His body was as perfect as his face.

I began thinking of all Edwards other good qualities as he sped by me and out of the parking lot, making sure that I saw the wink he gave me. I tried to shake off all my thoughts about Edward so that I could focus all of my attention on Jasper, where I wanted it.
