Angela's song! It also happens to be one of my favorites! "Who says" by Selena Gomez .com/watch?v=BzE1mX4Px0I&feature=fvwrel :D

Previously in Egotistical, Never. :

"I'll be back tomorrow to say goodbye to everyone properly, tomorrow." I called out the window and with that, I left him there standing in the driveway of his house.

APOV

I have no idea what came over me, or how I got the strength to talk to Edward that way. Maybe it was the fact that I felt like an idiot since the party, or maybe it was how I didn't want to stand still and watch Edward be with another girl. He was trying to make me feel better, fixing his 'misunderstanding' but I didn't want him to pity me. He'd never talked to me like that, so I guess that triggered my anger, which explains the way I talked back. A cat is afraid of water, but once it's thrown in it will fight its way out. That's what I did, simply fought back when it was too much for me to take. I lied, for the first time ever, because I won't be going back to the Cullen mansion to say goodbye. So I drove. I would tell the neighbor to sell, or take anything I left behind. Then, I would go to my apartment and pick up the things I needed as fast as I could for my permanent move.

EPOV

It took me one hour to be able to go back inside. I was such an idiot, I had ruined everything. I don't want an ending. Now that I've realized how I feel, I don't want it to end before it starts. If I had to beg, oh so be it, I will.

"She is not leaving. She can't. I won't allow it." I said as I stormed inside and Alice asked me why she left.

"I knew it all along. " I turned to her slowly and narrowed my eyes.

"Know what?"

"That you loved her. The question now is, what will you do about it?" Of course she knew. She probably saw it coming too. "How will you stop her? She seemed very determined." She continued when I didn't answer. I stood up and grabbed my car keys.

"I have no idea how, but she's not leaving Forks. At least not without me."

I ran to the car and sped into the road as soon as possible. It had taken me too long to come after her, but she said she'd be back tomorrow so she must be there. I spend the whole trip thinking of how I would stop her from leaving, coming up with ideas then talking myself out of them.

When I finally arrived, I did not see her car parked, and I panicked. I ran up the stairs and knocked on her door for ten minutes straight. Nothing. I called her cell phone, but it was off. Of course it was. In my desperate moment I sat on the stair and pulled my hair and rubbed my face. I heard a door open and stood up immediately only to be disappointed. It was her neighbor.

"Are you looking for Angela?" She asked quietly.

"Yes, I need to talk to her as soon as possible, would you happen to know where she is?"

"My guess is that by now she's about boarding her plane to New York. She told me where she was going and to sell the rest of her things—"

"Don't. Please just stay put for now." I said desperately, and then I ran down the stairs. "Thanks!" I yelled back.

How could she do this? She lied to me about leaving. I suppose in a way I deserve it. I tried calling her again, and her phone was still off.

"Come on Angela. Turn on your phone!"

It took me an hour to get to the airport in Seattle. By that point, I was a mad man.

APOV

I stood in line and waited as the little girl with auburn hair and green eyes went in the plane holding her parents hands. A tear slipped out and the flight attendant gave me a sad look but didn't comment as she checked my ticket.

EPOV

I ran inside forgetting to close the door of my car, and not caring whether or not it was stolen. I saw her, she was walking into the plane and I sighed in relieve. She hadn't left yet.

APOV

I walked into the plane as soon as the woman gave me back my ticket. Then I stopped because I heard my name.

EPOV

"Angela!" She didn't stop when I yelled her name. I tried to go in after her, but the flight attendant stopped me.

"Sir, your ticket?" I looked at her in desperation.

"I don't have one; I'm just looking for someone. I need to talk to her." She narrowed her eyes a bit, and then she pursed her lips.

"Fine, go right ahead, but I will make sure you're out before we board." I almost kissed her, but at the moment I was in a hurry and the only person I wanted to kiss was Angela. I walked in and saw her putting her bag on the compartment.

"Angela what were you—" I stopped because when she turned and I saw her face I realized a bit too late, like the idiot I was, that it wasn't her. I walked out the plane slowly.

"Sir, did you find who you were looking for?" I turned to see the attendant, then I shook my head.

"Where is this plane destined to?" I asked carefully, already knowing what she WOULDN'T say.

"Colorado." I pinched my nose. Is there anything else that could go wrong for gosh sake!

"What station would the plane for New York be in?" When she frowned, I knew that indeed, more things could and would go wrong.

"New York's plane was located at the other side of the airport sir. I'm afraid they probably took off already. I'm sorry." I should have known it wouldn't be easy. Nothing amazing was easy.

"Thank you." I told the woman before I took off towards a counter.

"I need a ticket to New York, as soon as possible please." The lady behind the counter looked at me for a second then at her computer.

"The next plane to New York is in three hours from now."

"I'll take it." That would give me time to go home and pack a small bag and tell Alice what was going on. I'll be damned if I let her go without a fight.

APOV

I tried to sleep through the plane ride, but it seemed impossible. Lucky for me, the little girl with auburn hair and green eyes was sitting right across, reminding me of Edward. As soon as the attendant announced we could use our electronics, I turned on my phone just out of curiosity. Six missed calls, and ten text messages. Some from Alice and others from Rosalie, which surprised me because I hardly talk to her. She wasn't even at the house… I checked the messages, not important. Though it was stupid to feel disappointed, I did. Nothing from Edward. I turned off my phone and told myself that I had asked for it. After all, I was the one leaving because I didn't want to be around any longer.

Finally made it to New York, as I descended on the stairs I saw Jake standing below with a small white board that read "I've missed you" I almost ran down the stairs but there were people in front of me. As soon as I could I ran to him and he put his arms around me in one of those bear hugs of his. We hugged for another minute then he put his arms on my shoulders and set me away a few inches.

"Look at you, as beautiful as ever! You haven't changed a thing Angie" I smiled like an idiot and hit him on the arm lightly.

"And look at you! Love has really helped your case!" we laughed for a bit then we went to pick up my luggage. I was hoping he wouldn't notice my mood, but of course he did. He didn't say anything until we were in the car driving away to his house.

"I wasn't expecting you to decide to move here so…simultaneously." He said.

"Well, I really want to be admitted to NYFA." He glanced at me for a second then turned back to the road with a chuckle. It wasn't a happy one.

"And so you decide to leave all your life behind in Forks? Don't get me wrong I love the fact that you're here, but you left your home, job, your family Angie. Just for the possibility of an admission." He was so on to something. "I know that's not it. You are not the kind of person to leave everything for this, not if you're not sure of the admission. There is something else," he glanced at me again. "Isn't there?" I took a deep breath. "Don't you trust me?"

"I do trust you, Jake. It's just…I would rather not talk about it now."

"Would you rather talk about it when we're home? With everyone around?"

"No."

"Come on Angela, this isn't like you. Whatever it is, just tell me. Did you kill someone?" I widened my eyes in horror.

"Of course not!" he smiled.

"Then what?"

"I fell in love." I said it so sudden, without thinking, so fast. Jake stuggled to keep driving.

"You what? With who? And why on Earth would you leave?" he threw all the questions out in a second then… "Did he hurt you?"

"NO! Gosh, it's just.." it got quiet for a moment then he spoke.

"Who?"

"Well, I've actually been in love for quite a while now." He looked at me and urged me to keep going. "With…Edward." I thought Jake would have to seriously park the car now, but instead he smiled.

"I always knew that."

"You did?"

"Yes, but why did you leave then?" I looked out the window.

"It's a long story Jake." He parked outside a store and killed the engine.

"I've got time."

I told him everything. All the way to the part where I left the Cullen's house earlier.

Jake's POV

When she finished telling me the story, I felt like buying a recording machine. This should be a damn movie! I frowned a bit because with all that Angela told me, I would think Edward wasn't stupid enough to let her go that easy. I guess I was wrong. I was about to tell her something when my phone rang. CRAP! It must be Leah! I answered without checking caller ID.

"Sorry babe, I promise I'm on my way, I just picked up Angie and…"

"Angela is with you?" well that wasn't Leah's voice. Of course, I hadn't been wrong. Edward wasn't stupid.

"Yes." Short answers were better so Angela wouldn't know who I was talking to. Now I felt like cupid. Or even better, a type of…spy or something. I had a secret!

"Please don't tell her you're talking to me. She will freak and might not even want to talk to me." He said desperately.

"No problem"

"I don't know how much you know by now, but it doesn't matter. I am about to leave Forks and take a plane to New York. Do you think you can hold Angela at your house the rest of the day, or at least until I get there?"

"Leah, she's staying with us remember?"

"I'm not..Oh, okay. Good then. I have a plan Jacob, and I really hope it works because I don't know what to expect from her anymore. If you would just help me out with this I would owe you big time." I glanced at Angela and smiled.

"You already do."

APOV

Jake had been a bit mysterious on our way back after his phone call with Leah. When he hung up he said she had called because it had been long and she was missing something for tonight's dinner so we went to the grocery store and bought…milk and cheetos? He said the cheetos were for Lily, his little seven girl. I was so excited to meet her.

Lily was so beautiful, like her mom. She had me playing all afternoon, she even made me change. It was so strange because Jake and Leah were smiling all the time. At one point, Jake had excused himself to tae a call in his room then he gave Leah a look and stepped outside with Lily, and when they came back inside he closed the curtains. I ignored his action and went back to playing with the little girl.

She had made me put on Leahs wedding dress. She had gone to her room and brought it with her, Leah just laughed and said it was fine, its not like she was using it again. Still I felt uncomfortable in it. It was so beautiful. Lily clapped her hands and grinned once I had it on and made me twirl. I was laughing and tickling Lily when the phone rang. Jacob didn't even answer it. He just smiled hugely and whispered in Lilys ear. She squealed and ran to her moms room again. When she came out she had a very pretty white mask. Only for the eyes. It glittered and had long gorgeous feathers. She made me put it on and then dragged me to the front door.

"Close your eyes aunt Angie. I'm going outside, and don't come out until you hear me say it. So I can hide and we can play hide and seek!"

"In a costume?"

"Yes! It's the best! I promise, you'll like it!" I obeyed and closed my eyes. I could hear Lily giggle outside, which made me smile. I waited a couple of seconds then I heard her.

"Okay, you can come out aunt Angie!" I opened my eyes and the door. My heart dropped. The front yard looked like a fairytale. There were white roses everywhere and a trail of red roses on the ground. I looked back inside to ask Jake what was going on, but he was nowhere in sight. I stepped down the little porch and when I looked to the left my heart gave a flip and so did my stomach. In the middle of the left side of the yard stood Edward. He was wearing a white tux, the more elegant type, and a white mask. I immediately recognized him, of course I did. I held my breath when I saw him step forward. I was still frozen on the last stair of the porch. As he walked slowly toward me, he spoke.

"Since that day in kindergarten when you came up to me and said a simple 'Hello' I have felt the urge to protect you. Who wouldn't want to? With your innocent face and that gorgeous smile of yours. You were like my little china doll which I didn't want anyone to touch, play with, or break. I've always scared away any guy who decided to approach you, with the fear that they'd do just what I fear the most. The fear that they'd make you fall in love with them."

He had barely walked a foot towards me, my heart felt like it would fly out of my chest and I was holding on to the sides of the dress so tight. He licked his lips, took a small breath and continued.

"Back then I told myself that my fear was that they'd play with you, that they'd break you. I thought I was just doing my duty of your older brother. All the while I was keeping you to myself. Because I am a very selfish person, and you are just the complete opposite of that. I always told you everything that happened to me, and liked how you listened, but I never really listened to you. Then when Bella came along, I was astonished by her beauty, by her sensitivity, and I was infatuated with her.."

I bit my lip to try to keep myself from whimpering. I didn't want to cry. Why did he come all over here to tell me what he felt for Bella? I was about to speak when he spoke.

"Because she reminded me of you. I never thought I deserved you, I didn't think you'd like me as something more than a brother. That's why I stopped myself from kissing you at the last masquerade. I couldn't do that to you, you deserved better. When I called you to ask for advice about Bella, I wanted to hear from you that you were okay with it. But mostly I wanted to hear that you weren't okay with it. I wanted you to tell me not to like Bella because you liked me. When you told me to go for it, I was a bit disappointed. Then, that night at the party, I didn't look at the details I just dragged you to the dance floor. I felt exactly what I usually feel when I'm close to you." He closed the space between us and put his hands on my shoulders. His warm breath on my face.

"I thought I was feeling that for Bella and it was a bit strange but I went along with it. I told you how I felt. All those feelings, were for you. I know I hurt you when I said her name but I was confused. I was in love with the person I was dancing with. I wanted to punch myself on the face when I saw it was you, not because I regretted the kiss or telling you what I felt. But because I had gotten the name wrong. I was a coward for not following you then, I was an idiot. I couldn't make that mistake again. That's why I'm here. To clear everything out. To tell you that it is YOU who I love, and always have. I love you Angela Webber. I love you since the very first day." He now had his hands on my face and was looking at me very deeply, straight in the eyes. I was shaking. Didn't know what to say. He had just confessed his love to me, he had said MY name.

"You've listened to me for a long time Angela, now I want to listen to you. I want to know what you think, what you feel." I just stared at him, eyes wide with shock. Tears sliding down. "If you don't feel the same I… hell, no I was going to say I understand but I don't and I wouldn't have it any other way. Just please say—" I placed my hand on his mouth.

"I thought you said it was my turn to talk." He took my hand and kissed it and kept quiet. I swallowed.

"In these last couple of days, I've changed. Not the way I think, or the way I feel, but the way I am." I took a small breath and smiled. "I'm not going to give you a long speech, like the one you gave me. I'll admit I was hurt that night when you said her name—"

"And I'm deeply sorry—"

"Gosh shut up Edward!" I said in an outburst and I kissed him to make sure he wouldn't speak. He responded immediately and held my face. I pushed away for a second to speak and he moved his hands from my face to my waist. This time I place my hands on his face. "I forgive you." He smiled. "I love you, Edward." His gave me a crooked smile.

"I've been waiting for you to say that so long." He kissed me this time.

"Sweet Lord I thought you'd never finish that damn speech!" we stopped kissing to laugh at Jacobs comment. Then…the sprinklers went off. We all squealed and ran to the porch laughing. Edward took a red rose from his jacket pocket and handed it to me. I smiled and hugged him tight.

"And just to make sure you know, you're not staying in New York permanently. At least not without me." He whispered the last part in my ear.

"I wouldn't dream of it. I just hope I can give you what you need." He gave me another of his crooked smiles and brushed a piece of hair out of my face.

"Honestly, this is everything I need." He leaned down to kiss me as we stood out in the porch, our clothes soaked. From behind us, there was a small laugh followed by a clap, which would most likely be a high five, and a sigh from…Leah.
