I went home that day broken down and confused. I did everything that Alice told me to do and it went wrong. She seemed upset or mad with me and before she was never like that. She was put off and not willing to talk. And I just couldn't understand why.
When I got home I changed into sweats and a t-shirt just wanting to relax. I flopped back onto my bed and picked up The Complete Works of Edgar Allen Poe to read to try and take my mind off of things. As I was reading through the poems I still couldn't get my mind off of Bella.
She seemed as if she hated what Alice did to me. I understood that I wasn't going to be popular right away but everyone else seemed to like it but her. Bella seemed to hate the look, but she had to know it was still me. Though Alice may have made it so I looked like one of the popular jerks, I was still me, Edward. She was the same Bella even after Alice got a hold of her. So why would she hate just a change of clothes on me so much?
After racking my brain and coming up with nothing I slammed the book closed frustrated. I looked over glaring at the closet hating it for making Bella hate and avoid me. She used to at least have a civil conversation as long as I had the confidence to keep it going, but today she just seemed like I grossed her out.
So instead of trying to concentrate on anything particular I grabbed the remote to the stereo pressing play, closing my eyes. Soon the sounds of Debussy was filling the air and calming my mind. The simple tune of Claire de Lune made me remember a small conversation I had with Bella.
Flashback
I was listening to my iPod, since I got a free period due to me getting my work done early. Bella was sitting beside me doodling away on her notebook. I had my eyes closed fingering along with the tune against my thighs.
"Claire de Lune is great," I heard her soft voice say though I had my ear buds in. I looked at her smiling and focusing on my voice not cracking during my response.
"You know Debussy?" I asked surprised. Not many girls nowadays listened to this kind of music.
"Yeah, my mom used to play classical music back home in Phoenix. But that's my favorite," she replied pointing to the screen.
"Yeah, it's mine too...do u want to uh…listen to it with me?" I asked as my voice cracked at the end making me mentally kick myself.
"Sure," she smiled at me as I fumbled to hand her the right ear bud and restarting the song.
As we listened to the song together she closed her eyes as if she was thinking she was back with her. I couldn't help but stare at how amazing and beautiful she was. She was in her own world and I could tell she was happy from the soft smile that graced her lips. I couldn't help but be excited that I was the one that helped put that smile there, even if it was for the five minutes and few seconds it was playing.
And all too soon it was over and the bell was ringing. Bella was blushing as she said a soft thank you and left. Right then I wished I was able to speak up and tell her how much I loved her and wanted to be with…well before all of that ask her out on a date. But the message from my brain got to my mouth too slowly.
End Flashback
Right then I opened my eyes determination back where doubt filled me and I knew that I had to step out of my shell and ask Bella to be mine.

I sat there as Alice and Rose tried to teach me the fine are of flirtation and innuendoes. Which wasn't so bad but then they made me practice on them. That was a bit weird, because though they told me to picture they were Edward, it was a bit odd. Alice was too short and Rose was had too much of a feminine beauty that you only find in magazines.
Once I was able to get through it with a straight face. They deemed me ready to do the real thing tomorrow. Of course being Alice, she had to pick out what I was going to wear. So I sat back and let her and Rose have their fun wondering if this would even work or if all Edward wanted was someone like Jessica.
I sat there brewing at how much I wanted to just smack Jessica and call her a slut. But unfortunately that's not like me. The only person I would know that would do that as if it was nothing would be Rose. And she actually did one time when Jessica tried to get to Emmett.
Since Charlie called saying that he had to work late the girls decided to stay over that night as we ordered pizza and watched bad romance movies. The last thing I remember before letting sleep take over me was I was going to make Edward mine.
I know this for me was a very short chapter. But it would be longer if I didn't have finals sucking the life out of me. I can't wait till summer...unfortunately then I have a summer class...ugh...why do I torture myself?
But anyways....since i will have a short summer break this story will end within the next couple chapters and then I will be starting a new story. So either alert me, follow me on twitter or keep following this story and I'l llet you know about that and when I'll have that up.
