"Why Bella? Why did you leave that night?" I could feel the anger start to seep into my voice, "I loved you, and you just never turned up!"

I stared at her intently for a few seconds, and she started back at me. I could see the confusion in her eyes, and didn't really understand why it was there. Then she suddenly went limp in my arms, she had passed out. Great, this was just fantastic. I thought that she had maybe grown out of the whole fainting thing, but evidently not.

I took a deep breath and braced myself for Alice and Rosalie's screams.

"Oh my god! Bella? Are you okay??"

"Help her Edward, don't just sit there!"

Yep there they were. I carefully laid Bella down on the floor; it wouldn't be long before she regained consciousness. And as I thought those words, her eyelids began to flutter.

Alice dramatically threw her arms around her, but Bella pushed her away, her eyes focusing on me.

"Edward," She whispered, her eyes studying mine intently, "What did you mean when you said…" She was cut of by an angry looking Alice.

"C'mon Bells, lets go get our stuff and take it to our rooms" Then Rosalie turned to me Emmett and Jasper, while Alice helped Bella up and sat her on a chair.

"We're going to go sort ourselves out, then we're going to have to sit down and talk. If we're going to be staying here together for the next two months, then we're going to need to at least try to get on."

We all nodded in agreement and watched as the girls walked away. This was going to be interesting.

After a few minutes, Emmett broke the silence. "Well. What are we going to do?" His voice went up a couple of octaves. "I mean, how the hell do we live with these girls?"

I looked at Jasper, he pondered over what Emmett had said for a second, then answered, "I don't know. I'm not too sure why they are so angry with us." He shook his head sadly, "I guess we'll just have to talk it out. I'm pretty sure we all just want some answers anyway"

I nodded again, "You're right, lets just…hear them out. Maybe they have a good explanation."

BPOV:

I still couldn't get my head around what Edward had said. He was trying to blame it on us? That didn't seem like a very Edward-like thing to do.

I was broken away from my thoughts by Alice hissing at me, "Bella! Were you even listening to what I was saying?"

"I..uh..yes?" I looked at Rose for some help, but she wasn't looking at me.

"Ugh! Never mind. What are we going to do?? We haven't even spoken to them since we left" She looked at me in despair.

I thought for a minute, but found no easy resolve. I sighed, "Let's just do what Rosalie said, go down there and talk it out. I don't know, but maybe we'll find the answers we've been searching for, for all these years. Nothing bad can come out of talking, right?"

Rosalie nodded, "Just so long as we stay calm. We can't let them ruin our holiday!"

I smiled warily at her sudden enthusiasm, and turned to Alice, catching her eye. "Alice?" I questioned.

She slowly nodded her head, "Okay, let's go"

I truly smiled now; I was pretty damn proud of us for handling this so maturely, we all could've just as easily thrown a fit and demanded we get our own ways.

We all linked arms and tentatively made our way down the stairs. The guy's heads turned at the sound of our footsteps; they all had wary expressions on their faces.

Edward beckoned us to the table, and we slowly took a seat each. No-one said anything for a while, I don't think I'd ever experienced such and uncomfortable silence. We all jumped a little when Emmett coughed loudly.

"Well, how do we start?" He said.

I answered, "Why don't we just explain to each other what happened that night? From what I can tell, everyone seems a little confused." Everybody nodded their heads, which encouraged me to continue.

I looked at Edward now, "Edward, earlier, you said that we never showed up. But I know that's not true." I shook my head in confusion, "We were there for hours. Honestly, that night was so important to me; to all of us. Do you really think that I wouldn't show?" My voice was speeding up now, eager to get out what I had to say. "I mean, really, you knew how much it meant to me…if you didn't feel the same way, why didn't you just say??" I battled with the tears that were now trying to escape.

For the first time, I looked Edward properly in the eye. His eyes were confused, and he was shaking his head slowly. I was about to ask why, but Jasper started talking.

"Bella, we did turn up! We were there, waiting for you!" We knew how much it meant, hell – it meant that much to us!" I couldn't doubt the sincerity in his eyes.

I looked over to Rose, who was also looking confused, and then to Alice, who just looked plain angry.

"How dare you lie like this!" She hissed at Jasper, "We know you weren't there!" She shook her head in disbelief.

Jasper's face lost some of it's calm composure, "I'm telling you, we were!" They were both leaning across the table at each other.

"Woah!" I said, "Let's stay calm, and how about one guy, then one girl explains exactly what happened on their side. Maybe we just missed each other or something; though that wouldn't explain why you weren't answering your phones.." I trailed off.

"What? Not answering our phones!?" Emmett started, but was soon cut off by Edward.

"Okay, I'll start" He glared at Emmett, making him sit back in his chair with a sulky expression on his face. "So, it was our last night together. We were all really looking forward to it, and were eager to spend as much time together as possible." He looked at me as he said this, and I nodded my agreement.

He continued. "We'd had it planned for weeks, we were going to a fancy restaurant, then the cinema later." I saw Alice go to protest, but I put my hand out, wanting to hear the rest.

He carried on, "So we waited at the restaurant, and then you never showed up. We called you like a million times, but the calls kept failing, then we got an angry Rosalie shouting that you were leaving. And by the time we could do anything to stop you, or even try to figure out what the hell was going on, you'd left" He shrugged.

I looked at Alice and Rose, their mouths in 'o' shapes, as they figured out what had happened, and then I turned to the guys, who looked even more confused at our expressions.

I looked at Edward now, and said simply, " We thought we were meeting at the cinema, and the calls must have failed because we were all trying to call one another"

Comprehension flickered across his face, before it broke out into a slow smile.

"Just a misunderstanding" Jasper mumbled.

"We're all such idiots!" Rosalie let out a short, harsh laugh.

"I'll say" Emmett was grinning now.

I turned my attention back to the rest of the table. "We've wasted all this time! How could we be so stupid?" I started laughing, and everyone else joined in.

Alice threw herself at Jasper then, and we all followed her example, clinging to each other in a huge group.

I pulled away and looked at Edward, who flashed me that crooked grin of his. My heart fluttered noisily in my chest, and I walked silently towards him, wrapping my arms fiercely around his waste. "God, am I glad we came here!"
