a/n- ok, everyone, im thinking that there is going to be two more chapters and an epilogue (?) in this story, before it is over, just FYI
Disclaimer: until me and my vampire army take over the world, I do not own twilight or any of its affiliates...yet. MWAHAHAHAHA
"Hey"
"Hello" she said. It was silent for a minute, then...
"I'm sorry" we said it at the exact same time. Then we gave each other confused looks
"What could you possibly be sorry for?" I asked "you haven't done anything wrong."
"I jumped to conclusions. I just assumed that you had attacked Eric, just like everyone else. Although, it's obvious you would never stoop that low. And...I'm just...sorry."
Silence again.
"But...wait...what are you apologizing for?" she asked
"I got you in trouble! If I hadn't overreacted to what Jasper did, then I wouldn't have it him, then you wouldn't have had to stick up for me to Alice, then you two wouldn't have fought, then you wouldn't be in detention right now."
"Ugh, Alice. Please don't say that name in front of me again."
"...You know, she didn't mean any of it. She thought you were insulting her boyfriend..." I cringed internally at the thought "...and she overreacted. It was a simple misunderstanding"
"You aren't seriously defending the girl who yelled at you for sticking up for her?"
"She is my sister, Bella, and you have to understand that... let's just not talk about her right now, we just made up, I don't want to fight."
"Your right, Edward, let's just forget everything?" and she leaned over and hugged me. For the second time. I am definitely going to have to make this a habit, I thought to myself. Until, she whispered to me.
"I am really glad that we are friends again." That was when the teacher chose to walk in
"Hey! You two! No hugging in detention! Now I want you to sit there silently until I dismiss you, and no more physical contact!"
She used the 'F' word on me again. Friends. I HATE that word! I spent the next hour, sulking. Bella spent the hour listening to the Avenue Q soundtrack on her ipod. From what I could tell, she was trying to memorize Kate Monster's solo song, There's a Fine, Fine Lline.
There's a fine, fine line
between a lover, and a friend.
There's a fine, fine line
between reality, and pretend;
and you never know 'til you reach the top
if it was worth the uphill climb.
There's a fine, fine line
between love,
and a waste of time
There's a fine, fine line
between a fairy tale, and a lie.
And there's a fine, fine line
between "you're wonderful" and "goodbye".
I guess if someone doesn't love you back
it isn't such a crime
But there's a fine, fine line
between love,
and a waste of your time
And I don't have the time to waste on you anymore.
I don't think that you even know what you're looking for.
For my own sanity I've got to close the door
and walk away...
Oh...
There's a fine, fine line
between together,
and not.
And there's a fine, fine line
between what you wanted,
and what you got.
You gotta go after the things you want
while you're still in your prime.
There's a fine, fine line
between love,
and a waste of time.
Ah, Kate Monster, I could sympathize with her. I knew exactly how she was feeling. Granted, I haven't slept with Bella, yet, but I get the gist of the emotions.
The bored looking teacher half-asleep at the front of the room finally spoke "OK, you two, you are dismissed for the day, just don't let this happen again"
Walking out of the room, I asked Bella if she wanted to come over to my house that night to watch movies. To my delight, she agreed to come over. I will make my move tonight I thought.
"So I will see you at five?"
"Make it six, I have to make dinner tonight, lord knows, Rosalie won't do it." We were finalizing our arrangements in the parking lot, beside her truck, when Alice and Jasper walked out. Bella glared at Alice, Alice glared at Bella.
"Edward, I have to go, before I attack your sister, again. I'll see you in two hours ok?" And she got in her truck and left. Those girls would definitely have to get over their issues. So, I was waiting beside my Volvo for Alice as she said goodbye to Jasper. We were going to have a little talk during the ride home...
"Edward! Just because you want to get into this girl's pants, does NOT mean that we have to be best friends! I mean I'm happy you're not a homo, but that has nothing to do with me!"
Alice was not taking our little talk well.
"Please Alice, at least try! For me?"
"Why should I?"
"Because you owe me! Remember your ex? Jackson Rathbone? I made nice with him, so you have to do this for me! Besides, who knows, maybe you two will end up being the best of friends!"
"Ha! I doubt that, I mean, in what psycho alternate universe would Bells Swan and I be best friends? You would have better luck convincing me of the existence of vampires."
"Fine, Alice, I didn't want to do this, but if you don't at least try to make up with Bella, I will tell Esme that Jasmine doesn't exist!" Now I had her! She had no choice; there was no chance that she would pick hating Bella over nights with Jasper. She couldn't possibly say no! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
"No."
Shit.
Now I had to do something I really didn't want to. "Fine, Alice, if you talk to Bella tonight when she is over, I will..." cringe "apologize to Jasper"
Alice sighed "fine."
That night, I was sitting in the living room at 5:59, going over everything in my head. Alice was up in her room, and when she was ready, she was going to come and talk to Bella. Esme and Carlisle were out for the night, at a gala of some sort. We had plenty of Pepsi, coffee, chips, and popcorn.
I was ready.
6:00- why wasn't she here yet? I sat there for what felt like hours waiting, wondering where she could have possibly gotten to, until I finally heard the doorbell ring.
6:02- the most arduous two minutes of my life.
I answered the door, and me and Bella went through the standard small-talk. I gave her a tour of the house, and we picked out a movie from my expansive collection- Queen of the damned. We had just settled down on the couch, when my sister- she of perfect timing- came down the stairs.
"Hey, Bella, do you mind if I talk to you in my room?" Bella sighed, rolled her eyes at me, but nodded. She headed up the stairs to Alice's bedroom. I chose to take that time to call up Jasper
"Hello?"
"Hey, Jasper"
"Oh, hey, man, what is it?"
"I wanted to apologize for hitting you earlier"
"That's ok, I kind of deserved it. I talked to the rest of the guys on the team and set them straight about Alice"
"Thanks, man"
"No problem, and I'm going to wait until graduation to ask Alice to marry me"
"Ok, that's great! I'm really happy for you two. So I will see you tomorrow?"
"Sure, bye"
That had been only slightly worse then I thought it would be. Having finished my obligation for the night, I sat down and waited for Bella
And waited…
And waited…
And waited… An hour had gone by, before I decided to go make sure that the girls hadn't killed each other. I walked up the stairs, and opened the door to one of the strangest sights I had ever seen...
Alice was painting Bella's nails, and telling her something, which was apparently, was very funny, because they were both laughing.
"And then he ran around the house for half an hour, stark naked and covered in Jell-O!"
Shit, they were talking about ME!
"A-hem!" I let them know I was there, and they both looked up
"Oh, hey Edward, Alice and I were just talking about you!" Bella laughed
"Yeah... I heard... I thought we were gonna watch a movie?"
"Oh! I'm sorry, Edward! I completely forgot about you! But Alice was just about to do my hair, can we reschedule for another night?"
"Sure, Bella," I sighed "whatever you want. Can I get you girls something in the meantime? Pepsi? Popcorn?"
Bella looked at Alice "how about some Jell-O?" and they both went into hysterics.

Who has her own note. (Beta: against her will might I add cough)
Beta note: I seriously am forced to write these… But I seriously did love the chapter. Alice and Bella hating each other, and then suddenly not. Nice. And then the Jell-O thing. Why Edward would run around the house covered in Jell-O I do not know… But oh so fun to imagine ;)
