-Edward-

Once work was over I headed home. My sister Alice was in town for a couple days and I was excited to see her. It's been about 3 months and I missed her. I also missed my sister Rosalie and brother in law Emmett but Alice was who I was closest to in our family. I couldn't wait to catch up on her life. I rushed home, swerving in and out of traffic. When I reached the apartments, I parked my car and took off to my apartment, running full speed.

When I reached my door and threw it open I was shocked at the sight before me. Alice sitting on my couch, face in her hand, and she was crying. Not whimpering but tears pouring down her face. I quickly closed the door and moved to the couch, sitting down beside her.

"Alice what's wrong?" My voice was shaky and I immediately felt sorrow for my little sister.

"Nothing" she replies quickly.

"Alice I know you aren't crying over nothing, I've only seen you cry a handful of times growing up. Please talk to me sis."

Her response came out loud and angry. "She's dating HIM. Why does she have to date HIM?" She emphasized 'him' every time it came out of her mouth. I was confused to say the least. I had no idea who she was talking about.

"Who is dating who may I ask…" I kept my voice down and hoped she'd hear me over her sobs.

"BELLA" she yells. I looked the top of her head for a few minutes before putting my hand under her head to make her look at me.

"Bella is dating Jasper" I whispered. I knew she was making a statement and not a question but I didn't understand why she was crying over their relationship. I had shed a few tears over it but kept telling myself that it wouldn't last long. Then I could be with my Bella.

"You knew? How long have they been dating?"

"Actually Alice this is their first date."

She blew out a sigh followed by an "ohhhh".

"Alice may I ask you why…um why does it matter if Bella and Jasper are dating?"

She looked up at me with tears running down her cheeks. "I don't know. I guess…I just…I don't know." She mumbled the last part and I knew there was something she wasn't saying but I had a pretty good idea what it was.

"I've shed a few tears over this as well. Just to let you know your not alone Al."

She was the one stunned this time. "Why Edward? Why have you cried over their relationship?"

I cringed and the relationship status and looked away from her eyes. "Alice I hope that you can keep this to yourself but I need to tell someone." I glanced back to her eyes and she was looking at me eagerly now. "I think…NO I know…Alice I love Bella!"

She stared at me for a good 5 minutes before speaking. Her voice slid through her lips, barely audible but I understood her. "Edward I think I love Jasper. I mean I don't know…I'm not as certain as you are about Bella but…there are a lot of feelings there."

I couldn't help but laugh a little. She glared at me and I had to explain…quickly or she was going to go back to sobbing. "It's a tad funny you have to admit. Brother and sister in love with friends…who are dating each other." We both cringed at the word 'dating' but what else would we call it.

"Edward, how are you able to sit here knowing she's on a date with him?" Tears started running down her cheeks again. I hated my sister crying. It broke my heart with every tear that slid down her face.

"I don't know Al but I have to be here as her friend until we can become something more. If we are able to be anything more…" My eyes were starting to get moist and I knew the tears were coming. I'm far from a cry baby but if its something I'm emotional about then yes I cry.

"I was telling her, while I was at her apartment, that I was in love with one of your friends but wouldn't give her a name. Next thing I know Jasper is walking into her apartment and I rushed out. I don't see how you are able to do this. It hurts so bad."

"I know Alice but we have to be strong. Hell we're Cullen's!" She laughed a little but went back to crying after a minute or two of silence. We laid around, both with tears streaming down our faces. Pathetic huh? I offered to cook or order food but neither of us were hungry.

We talked about the times we found out that our feeling for Bella and Jasper grew more then friendship feelings. We talked about the futures we could picture with them. We cried a lot and laughed very little. Both of us glancing at our watches and phones to check the time. UH could she get home already.

"Edward what if they really like each other?"

"Al I really don't want to think about that. I kick myself everyday for not telling Bella in the last two years." She leaned her head on my shoulder and she cried some more. Seeing her cry and thinking about Bella and Jasper being happy together made me cry some more.

About thirty minutes later I heard my door bell go off. I glanced at Alice and we both mentally prayed that the date went badly. I know Jasper is a nice guy but maybe they didn't have anything in common or weren't that attracted to each other. Alice sat up and I slowly walked to my door. Once I opened it, all my hope for a bad date disappeared, because I saw Bella looking back at me with a gorgeous smile on her face. I would do anything to make Bella smile like that after our date.

Bella looked around me and saw Alice, then glanced back to my face. "What did I miss guys? Everything okay?" Oh how I wished I could answer that question. I looked at Alice for some help and she jumped up and slowly walked towards us.

"Everything's fine silly. We were watching titanic and you know how sad the ending it when Leonardo falls under that water." Her words come out a little to quick but with her words and the poker face she had plastered to her face made me smile a little. My little sister was being brave and talking to Bella even though Bella was dating Jasper.

I hoped that this didn't ruin hers and Bella's friendship because they were so close before. Bella glanced back to me and I just nodded my head. She raised her hands and rubbed both my cheeks, wiping away my salty tears. Her simple touch sent sparks through my body and I wondered if she felt anything at all.

"Don't cry guys. How many times have we watched that movie?" She was smiling a teasing smile and I use lightly pushed her in the shoulder.

"Shut up….your usually the cry baby. I cried because Alice cried." Alice glared at me for a second before going back to her poker face.

"Oh so can I tell ya'll about my date?" She was so excited and my heart broke into pieces. She had fun with him. Did they kiss? Hold hands? Oh how I wish she was MY Bella!

Alice walked towards the bathroom saying something about a long hot bath. I turned my attention back to Bella and she was staring at Alice's back. Obviously hurt that Alice didn't stay to hear.

I leaned down into Bella's ear and tried to explain a mostly true explanation "She's missing a guy she likes back home and is sad he isn't here with her." Bella slowly nods her head as if she understood. Then she pulled me to the couch and pulls me down to sit beside her.

She started talking before I was ready to hear about her date. She spoke about him opening and closing doors for her, paying for her meal, the rude waitress that stared at Jasper but he wasn't paying any attention to her, and about the meals they ate. She said that the restaurant was amazing and we had to check it out one day. I wish we could check it out on our own date! When she talked about holding his hand and the kiss on the cheek I knew my body tightened. I didn't want to hear about his lips on Bella, MY BELLA. Why couldn't I just open my mouth and tell her how I felt!
