Disclaimer: I do not own anyone in this story. Stephenie Meyer's has the pleasure of owning Edward Cullen :(
AN: All characters are human. Jacob is the same age as Bella
Edward and Emmet Cullen are two sophomores in college. They have a sister named Alice who is a junior in high school. They have always been protective of their sister and now that she has a boyfriend they are less protective, which is more than they could say for Bella Swan, the police chief's daughter and Alice's best friend. The two grew up together and Emmet and Edward were protective of both, each of them thinking Bella was their little sister. But as time grew, so did the girls and the boys in town notice, much to the dismay of the Cullen boys, not to mention Bella's crush on Edward. Follow the story of a girl in love with someone who sees her as a little sister.
Chapter 3
Flashback
"Esme, set three more plates out" said Carlisle, walking back into their dinning room with a smile on his face.
"Okay, but why dear?" asked Esme
"Because..." just as Carlisle was about to respond, he was cut off by an all too familiar voice
"Because we are home" said the familiar voice
End Flashback
Bella and Esme turned to look at the three familiar faces before them
"Edward, Emmet, Rosalie" said Esme as she ran over to each one of them and hugged them
"HI, mom" said Edward kissing her lightly on the check and hugging her
"Oh I am so glad your all home" said Esme as she went to hug Emmet
"Bella, your not happy to see me?" asked Edward, waiting for Bella to jump into his open arms like she normally did.
"Oh Edward of course I am but I can't get up" said Bella, knowing that her face was beginning to turn red
"Oh that's right you tripped over a baseball bat" said Emmet coming over.
Bella blushed complete scarlet when she heard Emmet say that
"Emmet we promised not to make fun of her" said Edward, who was desperately trying to hold in his laughter.
"Go ahead laugh at poor defenseless me" said Bella, throwing her hands up, but keeping her own laughter in.
"Oh Bella, you know I love you" said Emmet, coming over and giving her a hug
"I love you too Emmet, just stop embarrassing me" said Bella, wishing that Edward had said I love you and meant in a boyfriend/girlfriend way.
"Yeah Bella I love you too" said Edward, also going over to Bella and hugging her.
She held onto him a little longer than expected because she wanted to smell his aftershave. It was always an old spice that curled her toes and made her swoon.
"Mhmm" she moaned
"Bella are you alright?" asked Edward, as he released her.
Breaking out of her trance, Bella realized that everyone was looking at her
"Yeah sorry" blushed Bella
Alice muffled a laugh and Emmet made a booming laugh as he saw Bella blushing
Edward stood there not really understanding what had happened. Bella held on to him longer than he expected and than all of a sudden she moaned. It startled him a little, Bella was like his little sister, he knew she liked him, but he figured her crush on him would go away in months he had been away. He realized she liked him when they were at the carnival 6 months ago. When he found out he asked Emmet and Emmet told him that it was about time he figured it out. What he didn't understand was that he always treated her like a little sister, why would that make her like him. If anything it was annoying, or that was at least how Alice said it was.
His constant worry over Bella and Alice was because he was around Alice more as kids than Emmet was. Not that Emmet wasn't overprotective, but Edward felt he did more, he was stricter than Emmet. Alice always complained, but Bella never once complained, she always listened and that was what he loved about Bella. She always complied with his wishes and if she didn't like them she would keep it to herself, or she would try and ask him some questions in private away from Alice's prying ears. To him Bella was a different girl. He never met anyone like her in his life. She was kind and gentle, always caring for others. Most girls, aside from his sister, were mean and could careless about other people. Bella was someone he admired and he loved her, just not in a romantic sort of way.
"Okay I will set three more plates out, how about you three wash up" said Esme, trying to break the tension.
Edward nodded and went upstairs, as well as Emmet and Rosalie
"Alice can you help me to the bathroom?" asked a reddened Bella.
"Sure, come on" said Alice, helping Bella to the bathroom
"Alice, I don't want to eat dinner here tonight" sighed Bella
"Oh come on Bella, dinner won't be bad" said Alice
"There will be so much tension and I am sure Edward would hate to sit at a table with me on it" said Bella
"Oh come on Bella, Edward doesn't hate you" said Alice
"How do you know? I am supposed to be over him" said Bella
"But your not and that's okay. One day some guy will sweep you off your feet just like Edward did, only this guy will have similar feelings for you" said Alice, trying to help her friend. Truth was she thought Edward and Bella were perfect together. If only her brother would see through their age difference.
"You really believe that?" asked Bella.
"Sure" said Alice, trying to lie, but knew Bella, knew she was lying
"Thanks" said Bella, as she smiled a small smile, knwoing Alice was trying to cheer her up
"Let's go eat dinner I am starving" said Alice as she pushed Bella back towards the living room
Dinner was a little quiet at first, but after Rosalie started talking about a model job she had lined up, the tension was gone.
"Bella, how about I drive you home" offered Jasper, after he and Bella finished their meal.
"That would be great" said Bella
Bella said her goodbyes and left with Jasper and Alice
"Dinner went well" said Alice, trying to strike up a conversation in the car
"Edward could barely look at me" said Bella
"He is confused" said Jasper
"Confused about what?" asked Bella
"Well Edward has always seen you as a little sister, all of a sudden your growing up and he isn't ready for that yet." said Jasper, trying to tell Bella that Edward knew about her crush, but Bella took it as what was said, she did not understand the underlying meaning.
"Oh" said Bella, looking the trees through Jasper's Midnight Blue Audi's window, in the back.
The drive was not uncomfortable, but it was silent from that moment on and when they reached Bella's house, the lights were off and Charlie wasn't home.
"Bella, do you want me to stay with you tonight?" asked Alice
Bella thought about it and decided that Alice should stay with her
"If you don't mind" said Bella
"Okay, let me get my bag from the back. I already told Carlisle and Esme" said Alice
"Goodnight Bella" said Jasper, as he carried her over to a seat on her porch.
"Thank you and goodnight Jasper, see you tomorrow" said Bella.
"Night baby, I will text you later tonight" said Alice, kissing Jasper.
Bella sat on her porch watching the couple and wishing she had someone who loved her like Jasper loved Alice. Tears were brought to her eyes as she thought about the events of the night. Edward's face looked so distressed and sad. She couldn't help but think it was her fault.
"Bella, are you okay?" asked Alice, snapping Bella out of her little daze
Jasper was waiting for the girls to get in the house, but he had pulled out of the driveway
"Yeah" said Bella, lying through her teeth.
"Can you tell me tonight?" asked Alice, helping Bella into her house and to her room.
"Yeah, I can tell you tonight" said Bella
And she did, she told Alice what she thought was wrong with Edward and then cried herself to sleep telling Alice that it was all her fault. Alice comforted her and tried to help her, but she realized that it would solve nothing. Bella was breaking inside and only Edward could help her. The problem was Edward had no romantic feeling for Bella and couldn't fix her.
For the first time Alice was baffled with the situation and didn't know how to fix it and that bothered her.
"What am I going to do?" whispered Alice out loud before falling into a deep sleep.
