A/N- I'm sorry it took me so long to update. Every idea I had didn't feel right. But yeah, here's chapter 2.

Chapter 2

"Yeah. I think I'm okay. I'll miss Mike, but it was for the best."

Thinking about it triggered my eyes. I started to gently cry. Edward wrapped his arms around me and I laid my head on his chest. I could feel his shirt getting wet so I tried to stop. But I wasn't sure if I wanted to. As soon as I stop crying, Edward will stop holding me. It feels so different than when Mike held me. It was sweet and comforting. Mike was rough, not so sweet.

I reluctantly pulled away from Edward when my tears stopped.

"Thanks Edward. I needed that. I guess I didn't realize breaking up with him would upset me that much. I feel a lot better."

"I'm always here for you. Are you going to be alright? Do you want me or someone to go home with you? You can come to my house if you want," Edward was so nice! The perfect gentlemen!

"Can I go to your house? I'd rather not go home alone," I'm not ready to leave you, actually.

"Of course you can. Here comes everyone else so I'll meet you at my house."

"Okay. I'll see you at your house."

"Alright."

Edward turned around and slipped in to his car. If only he wanted me to go to his house as more than a friend visiting a friend. Well, it doesn't matter. Wishing won't get me anywhere.

I slid into my truck and started it. It's roaring alerted Edward to my leaving. Even though I left first, Edward was soon behind me, quickly passing me, obviously going way above the speed limit.

I let my mind wonder to Edward, not needing to pay attention to my driving, I knew the way to his house by heart. His body felt so warm against mine. I could hear the thudding off his heart next to my head. I removed one hand from the steering wheel to wrap it around my torso, where Edward's hand had just been.

By the time I got to his house they were already there. I let myself in, not needing to knock. They were all in the living room, chatting away.

"Hey guys! I get Edward told you I was coming?"

"Yeah, he did. Are you going to spend the night? I am," Rosalie asked me.

"Today's Friday, right?" They all nodded their heads. "I guess I will. Let me call Charlie and tell him."

"Here's the phone," Edward handed it to me.

"Thanks," I punched in the numbers of the police station. "Hello. Is Chief Swan there? Hi, dad. I was wondering if I could spend the night at the Cullen's. Rosalie will be there. Yes, of course Carlisle and Esme will be here. Thanks dad, love you! See you tomorrow." I hung up the phone and handed it back to Edward. "So it's all set. You've got me for the night."

"Awesome! So what're we going to do tonight?" Emmet said with excitement. I swear he has ADHD.

"Whoa, whoa. Hold up there. First I have to get some things to sleep in, then clothes for tomorrow. Wow. Why didn't I get them before I came here? I'm dumb."

"That's okay. You have clothes here from the last time you spent the night. Uh, a red shirt and a pair of jeans," He looks cute when he has absolutely no clue what he's talking about. And Edward sure as heck doesn't know anything about clothes. Wait, which shirt is here?

"And what does this red shirt look like?" It better not be the one I've been missing for two weeks.

"Um, it's a long sleeve turtle neck," he said, clueless.

"The knitted one? I've been missing that forever! You could have told me it was here! Thanks a lot!" I wasn't really mad, but it was fun to see Edward all sad and guilty. He was just too cute!

"I'm sorry. I kept forgetting to tell you I had it," He mumbled.

"Aww, that's okay. I don't care." How could I resist a face like that?

"Okay come on guys; let's do something other than talking about long lost shirts. Let's go to the basement and play Foosball," Jasper suggested.

"Okay! I call Rose on my team!" Emmett yelled. Typical, he wanted Rose.

From past experience, I knew that Jasper was the best at Foosball, probably why he suggested it. Seeing that I was bad, I needed him on my team if I wanted to win. "I call Jasper!" Edward turned around to look at me with a hurt expression.

"Hey, why don't you want to be on my team?" He asked.

"Edward, you know I love you. It's just that Jasper's the best and I need someone to make up for my lack of skills. I'm sorry!"

"Ohh! Take that Edward! She said you suck!" Awww, poor Edward.

"Bella, you don't really think that, do you? I'm not that bad," Oh no, I can feel my self giving in to his cute little face!

"I don't think you suck. I don't even think you're bad. It's just that Jasper's a teensy bit better," I heard Jasper snicker when I said that. So I hit him in the back of the head.

"Hey!" He yelled.

"Haha!" Edward said. "But wait, I don't have a team mate!" He just now realized that?

"Well Edward, maybe next time you'll be faster to call a teammate. I hope you learned from this experience. Now come on, let's play!" Emmett said. He has no patience whatsoever.

The five of us discussed who would go first, or at least the guys and Rosalie did. They knew what they were doing. I just stood back and listened, attempting to understand what they were talking about, failing at it, might I add. When they were done, Jasper told me who would go first, knowing I wasn't listening.

"Emmett, Rosalie, and Edward will go first. We will play whoever wins," Jasper informed me.

I took a seat in a mushroom chair and settled myself in, preparing myself for a long wait. Jasper sat down next to me in the other chair and moved so that it was facing me.

I was ecstatic when Bella said she wanted to be on my team. I know it's wrong to feel this way because Edward likes Bella so much, but I can't help it. I really like Bella. She's nice, funny, and not a whore like most girls. She's beautiful and doesn't even realize it. I wonder why Edward hasn't asked Bella out yet. If he likes her as much as he says he does, then why doesn't he just go for it? I haven't asked Bella out because Edward will be mad, but I'm tired of waiting for him to make his move. Maybe I'll just go for it. Tonight I'll ask her on a date. Hopefully she'll say yes.

"Hey! That's cheating!" Emmett yelled, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"No it's not. You can do that! Can't you Jasper?"

I'll just go with Edward, "Edward's right, you can do that."

"Jasper, why couldn't you just have agreed with me?" Emmett whined.

"Sorry, that's the rules."

I might as well suck up to Edward as much as I can because once he finds out I asked Bella out, he'll be mad. I doubt he'll show it though, but the cold shoulder will be just as bad as yelling at me. I've always been close to Edward and he'll be hurt. Just remember, it's all for the sake of getting Bella.

"God Edward! Have you been practicing?" Emmett shouted.

"A little," Edward told him with a smirk. He must be winning.

"Uh-oh," Bella said, causing me to look at her. "Did I pick the wrong person as my teammate? Is Edward now better than Jasper?"

The worst possible thing for her to say and she says it. "Bella, are you saying you don't like me? That hurts!"

"Aw, Jasper, no. I'm just thinking about the game. I don't want to lose, that's all!"

Then Bella did something I wasn't expecting. She jumped up from her chair and gave me a hug. It felt nice. I know it was just a simple gesture that even only a friend would do, but it still meant something.

"As long as you still want to be my teammate," I told her in an innocent voice.

"Of course!" Then she moved to sit back down in her chair.

I glanced at Edward once Bella sat down. His face looked slightly pained, but noticing he had my attention, a calm mask quickly took over. He noticed the hug.

I glanced up from the game when I saw Bella get up from her chair.

"Aw, Jasper, no. I'm just thinking about the game. I don't want to lose, that's all!" She told him.

Then she hugged him! How can she do that? Rosalie always said she liked me, but how can she when she hugged him? I felt my heart sink to the bottomless pits of my soul. Watching it killed me!

When Bella let go I saw Jasper look at me. I quickly let a calm expression wash over my face. I didn't want him to see how much that hurt me. I knew he would feel guilty and I didn't want him to, it was Bella who hugged him after all.

"Not that this game isn't already kind of boring, but it's even more boring watching other people play it," Bella said sighing.

"I'm sorry. Talk to me."

"Okay, what about?" She asks.

"I don't know. How was your day?"

We slipped into an animated tale of our day, quickly getting sidetracked. Our simple conversation completely consumed us both. We blocked out my two siblings and friend. It was great talking to Bella like this: just her and me, which rarely ever happened. We always had a sibling or friend involved in our conversation. Sometimes, I blocked out Bella's words entirely and just watched her lips move. But I never did that for long. I always zoned back in.

It was only until Edward came up and tapped me on my shoulder that I looked at my surroundings.

"Our game is done, I won. Come on, you and Bella play me," I said.

I could hear the acid in my voice when I said this. I disguised it well; I tried to keep it in. But Jasper's way to long for him to not notice it; he's listened to my voice for nine years now. He looked at me; I could see the curiosity in his eyes. He also looked a bit offended; I would have to apologize for that later.

"Oh right. You ready Bella?" Jasper asked, taking the place where Emmett used to be.

"I guess," Bella moved to stand next to Jasper, opposite me.

"I'll take it easy on you, Bella," I said with a smirk on my lips.

The game went fairly quickly. It was a tie through most of it. It ended with me winning by four points (A/N- I know nothing about Foosball, so sorry if that's not how you win, or if that's impossible to win by four points.) Hah, take that Jasper! I'm better than you, I thought.

JPOV

"I'm sorry we lost. I tried my best!" I told Bella.

"That's okay. I don't care," She told me with a smile on her lips.

"Yeah, that's right, you lost!" Edward said doing a little victory dance. "I am the Foosball king!"

"That's enough Edward!" Rosalie scolded. "Let's do something else. Why don't we watch a movie?"

"Sounds good to me. What movie?" Bella asked.

"An action movie!" Emmett roared.

"No. A romance movie," Rosalie said.

"I agree. Let's watch the Notebook," Bella suggested.

"That's sounds good to me," Edward agreed, I can't believe he agreed to watch that movie!

"Absolutely not! That's way too sappy!" Emmett protested in a yell.

"I'm the guest and so is Rosalie, we watch what we want to watch," Bella said, ending the argument.

"Fine," Emmett sulked.

Edward ran upstairs to get the movie while the rest of us settled down. Bella laid on the couch, Rosalie on the love seat, and the rest of us on the floor. Bella and Rosalie kept their complete attention focused on the movie, while my siblings and I talked quietly, occasionally getting a smack on the shoulder signaling we were being too loud.

By the end of the movie Bella and Rosalie had cried numerous times. Next, we put in Underworld, Emmett's request. Both girls were slightly afraid, though whenever we accused them of it, they denied it.

Other than me, everyone was asleep by the end of the movie. So I quietly crept to the T.V. and turned it off. Though I was sleepy I couldn't help but to think about what happened today. Bella hugging me, the feelings that stirred up. I couldn't believe I let another day slip by me and not ask Bella out.

I fell asleep at the end of the movie, but I soon woke up. I remembered having a dream of Jasper and I walking throughout the La Push beach, on a rare, sunny day, holding hands. The dream startled me. Did I really want that? I liked Edward, right? I decided to get up and get myself a glass of water and think through my dream. When I got up stairs someone was there that I wasn't expecting: Jasper. I didn't notice him not downstairs.

"Hey," I said quietly.

"Oh, hey. I didn't know you were awake. Can you not sleep?" He asked.

"I had a dream, so I woke up. You?" I took a seat next to him.

"I have a lot on my mind right now," For a second I didn't think he would say anything else. "Actually, I've been thinking about you."

After thinking so much about Bella I just couldn't get to sleep. I went up stairs to get a glass of water, hoping that would help clear my head and get me to sleep. After being in the kitchen for a while I heard a voice. It was Bella.

"Hey," She said.

"Oh, hey. I didn't know you were awake. Can you not sleep?" I asked.

"I had a dream, so I woke up. You?" She sat down next to me.

"I have a lot on my mind right now," I might as well tell her now. What better time than the present? "Actually, I've been thinking about you."

A/N- I hope you liked this chapter. Review! I could really use some corrective criticism. If there's anything I can do to improve my writing, please tell me!
