Chapter 3

Recap-

"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."

"I like you, a lot. I have for a while. Would you be willing to go out with me?" Jasper asked. He looked nervous, like he was afraid of my answer, it was kind of cute. I've never noticed, but Jasper is attractive. He isn't an Edward, but he was still kind of beautiful. It could work.

"Yes, Jasper. I would like that," I said looking up at him.

A grin stretched across his face, "Great! Well we should probably go to bed, it's late," He gestured with his hands for me to go first, I did, he followed behind me.

My dream was interrupted when I felt something brush against me leg. I looked up and saw Bella stumbling out the door. I was curious as to why she was getting up, so I got up to. I was also hoping for some time alone with her, seeing as how I didn't get much of that today. I staggered up the stairs, still groggy from sleeping.

I peeked into the kitchen and saw Jasper talking Bella.

Oh no.

I knew he liked Bella, I could tell by the way he looked at her. He was easily read.

"… I've been thinking about you. I like you, a lot. I have for a while. Would you be willing to go out with me?" I heard Jasper ask. Please say no Bella. Please say no Bella.

Bella hesitated for a second, then she answered, "Yes, Jasper. I would like that."Jasper said something after that, but I didn't hear it. All I heard was Bella's answer. It rang through my mind like a virus, creating pain like no other. I've had my share with bad experiences, but this was defiantly the worst. I felt like my heart was being stabbed over and over again.

I knew I couldn't keep myself together long enough to go back downstairs with everyone else, so I snuck up to my room. I quietly shut my door and collapsed on my bed. I was very tired, but I knew I wouldn't get any sleep. I replayed Jasper and Bella's conversation in my head over and over again. I tried all night to sort through what just happened, and make since of it, but I couldn't. Did the love of my life, my soul mate, really just agree to date my brother? Yes. Did my brother, my best friend, really just betray me by asking out my love? Yes.

I eventually drifted off into a light sleep, filled with nightmares. I dreamt of Bella becoming my sister-in-law. It was horrible. I woke up and found all everyone, minus my parents, in the kitchen, eating.

"Good morning Edward!" They told me quite cheery.

"Why did you sleep in your room last night? I know you feel asleep downstairs." Bella asked me.

Because you broke my heart, "Sleeping on the floor got too uncomfortable," I mumbled, while grabbing a plate.

"So, Edward Bella and Jasper have some news," Emmett told me as I sat down. Emmett knew I liked Bella, he just didn't know how much I liked her. I didn't tell Jasper either, but I had a feeling Jasper knew more than Emmett did. I never told anyone that I was in love with Bella, just that I liked her.

Well, better get this over with. "Oh, really, and what is that?"

"Bella and I are dating. I asked her last night and she accepted," A sheepish smile occupying his face.

"I'm happy for you both." Not really. "So, what is everyone doing today?" I asked, trying to change the subject.

"I don't know, just hanging out." Emmett replied with a mouthful of pancakes.

"Later on Jasper and I are going to the movies," Bella sad quietly. She sounded a bit timid, like she was afraid to tell me. Strange, why would she be afraid?

"I'm going to the mall get Esme a birthday present. Don't forget tomorrow is her birthday," I knew Emmett to well, he would forget.

"Oh crap! Edward, would you pick up something for me? I'll give you some cash before you leave," Emmett pleaded.

"Sure. Jasper, do you have a present?"

"Yep, got mine yesterday," He smiled.

"Well, I'm going to get ready, and then I'm leaving," I dumped my plate in the sink and ran upstairs.

As I watched Edward go upstairs I couldn't help but to think he seemed a little off. He wasn't like that yesterday. Could it possibly have something to do with Jasper and I?

I was still a bit iffy on that subject. I wasn't sure I wanted to date Jasper. I mean, I liked Jasper, but Edward. I loved Edward. He was perfect for me. Oh well, no sense in wishing for the impossible. The thought was impractical.

"So, Bella where do you want to go for our date?" His voice broke me out of my trance.

"It doesn't matter. Wherever you want to go," I really didn't care.

"I have something in mind," He mused.

"And?" I prodded.

"You'll just have to see," He said grinning.

"Augh!" Stupid surprises.

I hurried through my shower, wanting to leave as soon as possible. I really needed to get out of the house. To think about something other than Bella, to be exact. Which was proving to be a difficult thing to do. Once I was ready I hopped in my Volvo and sped away from my house.

I was planning on going to the Seattle mall to find a present. I wasn't sure want I was going to get her, but it couldn't be too hard to find something. I was thinking maybe clothes. Like a new jacket, or something. But I knew nothing about clothes, so that would be hard.

I decided to give that a try. After pulling into the parking lot I headed over to a nice looking store for women. I wanted something pretty and sophisticated, something with style, just like Esme.

I was roaming through out the isles when I bumped into what looked like a moving pile of bags. Suddenly the bags talked. "I'm sorry. I can't see anything through all these bags. Are you all right?"

She put down the bags, beneath them was a girl. She looked to be about 4"9', short, black, spiky hair, over all quite cute.

"That's okay. I know how shopping with women can get." I laughed to show I was teasing. "I'm Edward." I stuck out my hand for her to shake.

"Cullen?" She asked excitedly.

"Um, yes." How did she know?

She squealed and threw her hands around my neck. I can't possibly describe to you how confused I was. "It's great to finally meet you. I've heard a lot about you! Oh, you must be so confused! Here, come eat with me and I'll explain everything to you!" She grabbed my hand and pulled my to the food court.

"What would you like to eat?" She asked.

"Um, whatever you want," I brain still couldn't function enough to answer questions. I was still in shock over this strange girl.

"Does Subway sound good to you?" I nodded my head.

After we got our food we found a table and sat down. Finally, some answers!

"So, now to tell you about me!" She said animatedly. "My name is Alice Swan! Yes, you heard right, I'm Bella's sister. I'm sure she's told you about me. She's talked about you PLENTY!"

"Yes, she's told me about you. Wow, I can't believe I didn't recognize you as her sister right off the bat. You're exactly how she described you!" I chuckled.

"Good. I'd be hurt I she didn't. So now you're probably wondering why I'm here!"

"Yes," I nodded my head once.

"Renee just got remarried with her husband Phil. Bella's told you about him?" I nodded. "He plays Baseball, so he travels. I figured I give them some alone time and come stay with Charlie for the rest of high school. It's been a long time since I stayed with Charlie for any length of time! I'm sooooo excited!" She finally took a breath, it seemed like she said that whole thing with out taking a breath.

"Wow, that's great! So does Bella know?" I asked here. I hoped she didn't. I couldn't possibly imagine Bella not telling me that. I would be hurt if she didn't!

"No, she doesn't! Its going o be a surprise. Charlie promised he wouldn't tell Bella! He didn't, did he?"

"No, Bella hasn't said anything and she usually tells me everything."

"Which brings us to you and her. You're her best friend, right? Not her boyfriend?"

Of all the questions, she asks this one. I looked own and mumbled my answer, "Right, just friends."

"But you want to be more. You like Bella, a lot!" She squealed.

"Is it that obvious?"

"Yes, kind of. But also I'm a girl, I just know these things. So, why haven't you asked her out yet?"

"I don't think she liked me. I was nervous of being rejected. And as of last night she's dating my adopted brother, Jasper."

"Yes, I've heard of him. But I happen to know that she likes you more than him, a lot more!"

What?! "Then why is she dating him?"

"Because she's tired of waiting on you. I can help you get Bella! I would love to! You two are perfect for each other!" She said clapping her tiny hands in excitement.

"You would really do that for me?"

"Yes. Now before we go, I have to ask, why were you in a women's clothing store?" Oh god!

"I was trying to find something for my mother. Tomorrow is her birthday."

"Oh well then, we must go find something for her!"

With that she dragged me off into the store we were just at. I briefly described my mother to her, and within minutes she had picked out a perfect outfit that I new Esme would love.

"So, you know the way to Bella's house?" She asked on our way out of the mall.

"Of course."

"Good then. I can follow you there!"

I jogged over to my car and waited for her to get to hers. It surprised me when she stepped into a yellow Porsche. I started on my way to Bella's house, with Alice, her sister trailing behind me. Wow, what a strange day! Bella's sister and the first time I admitted I like Bella to anyone other than a family member!

A/N- So I hoped you all liked this chapter! I'm sorry if anyone didn't want Bella with Jasper, but I'm sure you got the hint between Alice and Edward.

Anyways, I'm looking for a beta. I already put this up on my other story. But I wanted to put in on this one to because I don't want the same one for both because what if the same person doesn't like both of my stories then they would have to read something they didn't like! But yeah, if you're interested just PM me/(yeah I know this is weird to put on an a/n.)
