BPOV: Jealous Much?

The next week after the amusement park went by slow. Alice and Rose took me shopping most of the days. Edward took me on some dates, wonderful most definitely. We hung out at the house, swimming and having cook outs it was so hot. I didn't mind as long as no one dragged me to some place I didn't want to go. But for the last 2 days Alice has been avoiding me. I've been letting it go, pretending I'm not noticing anything. But I am. She's up to something stupid, again. So far today it's been normal. Edward, Emmett and Jasper went to some baseball game a few towns over. They left early and wouldn't be home until later. The weird thing is that I expected Alice and Rose to make me do more shopping. But when Edward woke me up before he left, he said they had left to do something. I was shocked.

I had the whole house to myself, and nobody wanted me to do anything. Strange. But I put it in the back of my mind and decided that I would go outside and swim for most of the day and then later go into town. Probably book shop, and go into some music stores to. After swimming and laying out in the sun until 2:00 in the afternoon, I went to go get a shower. When I was done I got out and changed into some shorts and a t-shirt, simple. I tried calling Alice but she didn't pick up, so I left a note on the table telling who ever made it home first that I went into town.

Town wasn't busy for a Friday. I parked my car in front of the book shop and made my way in. I read and looked at books for hours it felt like. When I looked at my watch it actually had been hours. It was 5:34 pm, I looked through my purse for my phone but no luck. I must have left it at the house. Crap. I bought 2 books that looked really good after reading a couple chapters about each one. I wanted to stop at the music store though before I even went home. It was packed, their were a ton of people. Some were listening to music, some were buying it and most were just looking around. But I made my way upstairs, they had the better selections up there that nobody really knew about. People just wanted the 'hot' and 'new' stuff.

The upstairs to the music store was dark. The walls were a dark purple color and the carpet was a black. Probably so they never had to worry about spills. Smart when you think about it. I looked around a little bit, when I found a band that I really liked. I set the player up and put the head phones on. It was good. I was so into the music that I didn't even notice some one coming upstairs, but I did notice when that some one touched my back. I jumped and whirled around, only to find...Mike Newton.

Mike Newton was a jerk. he tried dating me so many time when I was in school. He was a player. He dated Jessica and Lauren. Both of them were assholes. He always hit on me, and you think the guy would take a hint when you say 'no' for the tenth time for a date you mean it the eleventh. But I put on a face smile and he responded by pulling me into a hug that lasted a few seconds before he pulled away and stared at my body.

"Hi. Mike." He smiled at me, so gross.

"Hey, Bella. So your in for the summer?" I nodded and his attitude perked up. Bad idea.

"That's great. Hey maybe we can go out sometime...you free tonight? We could go grab some coffee." Awesome. I wanted to go grab a coffee after this and head home now I have to deal with this. He saw my expression and smiled wider. He knew I was going to go grab a coffee, he is a creeper.

"Cool. Okay let's go." He started to walk away. Fantastic. I have to go now. I grabbed the Cd I was listening to and followed him downstairs. I paid for my Cd and walked to the coffee shop with me. It was chilly out, but I wouldn't complain. At least it wasn't raining. Mike asked me what I wanted and I told him to surprise me. I sat down at a table by the window. The sun was setting now and it was just perfect. Mike cam over soon and sat across from me and handed me a cup. I took a sip. It was good. He laughed at me when I smiled up at him.

"It's strawberry coffee. With whipped cream. I do remember some things about you Bella, I know you love strawberry...and that's about it." I started laughing and he joined me. He wasn't turning out to be that much of a creep as I thought.

"Thanks. It's good. So what's new with you?" I asked him, as he took a sip of his own drink.

"Life is good. I'm going to college in California. I'm home for a while and then I've got to go back out. Just visiting my mom and dad." I nodded in understanding.

"So what's new with you Bella Swan." I shrugged.

"Same old, same old. I'm still friends...best friends with Alice. We go to college together and live together. I'm dating her brother to, Edward Cullen." When I said the last part of my sentence, Mike froze.

"You're dating Edward Cullen. Wow. He's a cool guy. Of course he's a little intimidating." He chuckled and I followed suit.

"So you dating anyone Mike?" He nodded, with a faint smile on his lips.

"Ya, I'm still with Jessica. I'm actually going to propose on her birthday in 2 weeks."Priceless. They belonged together, seriously. I slapped his arm, playfully.

"That's great. I'm glad your happy." He took a drink and then replied back to me.

"Ya, I am. I'm happy that your happy to." I laughed and he looked embarrassed.

"Wow. I just used to happy's in a sentence. I'm a loser." Ha. If only he knew.

"Nah, it's okay. So can I see the ring?" I asked him and he raised his eyebrow.

"How did you know I have it on me?" I shrugged and he rolled his eyes.

"I guessed." He nodded and pulled the ring out of his pocket, and held it up to me.

"It's beautiful." I told him, it really was. It was a huge diamond with little diamonds around the whole ring.

"Thanks. Do you think she's like it?" I got up and hugged him. I was happy for him and mostly because he would never hit on me again. Hopefully.

"She won't like it she'll love it." He smiled at me and I returned the gesture. We talked more, about school and life. When out of no where Alice came running into the coffee shop. She was huffing and puffing. I guess she didn't get a good parking spot. She pointed back and forth from Mike to I.

"Alice you remember Mike, don't you. We were just catching up and talking." She clutched her heart and I tried to hold back a laugh.

"Alice what's wrong?" I asked her. Was it Edward? I started to panic.

"Edward." She croaked out. I jumped up saying goodbye to Mike and giving him my cell number to call seomtime when he was in town and catch up again he nodded and I left running with Alice back to her car.

"Okay tell me, what happened? Is he okay?" She shook her head and caught her breath. Telling me everything.

After leaving Bella to go with the guys I felt like crap. I didn't want to leave her. But I did and I didn't like it. Emmett, Jasper and I got to the game and watched for a while but it wasn't good, they were losing badly. So around 4:30 pm, we decided if we left now we would get home around 6:00. She we left, making plans to take the girls out for dinner when we got home.

I knew that Emmett and Jasper felt the same way. They missed Rose and Alice too, and I couldn't wait to have Bella in my arms again. The ride home went a little faster than we planned, but when we got there we all ran into the house. Alice and Rose were in the living room, watching a movie. But Bella wasn't with them. I started to get scared. Alice noted my face and laughed.

"She went into town. We just got home not to long ago to. She probably went to the book store." I nodded and told them I was going to change and go get her. When I was done I got in my car and drove to town. I saw Bella's car and parked behind it. The book store was closed, and so I went to the music store. She wasn't in there either. I was getting more worried, so when I left the music store I was going to call Alice. But then I saw her. Bella was in the coffee shop with some guy, and they were laughing. She was smiling and he was to. I watched them for a while longer as they talked and laughed. I was about to leave when I saw the guy pull something out of his pocket and hand it to her. She smiled and looked awe struck. She held the ring between her small fingers.

She smiled and said something, but what surprised me the most was she got up and hugged him. I couldn't see anymore. What was she doing? Was she seeing him and not telling me? I thought as I made my way back to my car. I drove home faster than I ever have before. I got out slamming the car door and going up to the house and slamming the front door. What was wrong with me? I asked myself. Why am I so angry? I ran up stairs and straight into my room, but then when back into Bella's. I don't know what came over me, but I snapped. I started throwing things all around her room. Breaking things, ruining things. The door burst open to reveal Emmett. He came over to me holding me back. He dragged me out of the room and into mine. Alice was scared and yelling at me. I told her everything I saw and when I looked up, see was gone.

"He trashed my room?" Alice nodded and frowned.

"Why didn't you tell him that the last time I saw Mike was when we graduated? And Mike was proposing to Jessica Stanley. He showed me the ring and we talked." She nodded.

"We tried to get to him sooner but he was faster. What are you going to do?" She asked me. I honestly didn't know what to do. I was stunned. I loved him and only him and I told him that.

"I'm going to let him cool off and when he was the truth...tell him to come to me." I opened my car door.

"Where are you going so I know?" She asked as I was about to get in.

"I'm going home." I got int and drove to Charlie's.

I watched Bella drive off. She was smart to not interfere with Edward. What was he thinking. Bella was in love with him. I drove home, as fast as I could and walked right up to Edward's room. I didn't even knock. I found him, lying on his bed looking up at the ceiling. He didn't even get up.

"You are such an ass. Why would you even think she would cheat on you?" I asked him. He didn't say anything.

"And with Mike. She's always hated him. Bella told me that the ring was for Jessica Stanley. Mike ran into her and they talked and he showed her the ring. You are so over dramatic. Now Bella's gone." He jumped up and and ran to me, shaking me for answers.

"Where is she going? Why did she go? Why am I so jealous?" He asked me and I answered every one.

"I'm not telling you. She left because you don't trust her. Because you love her."

I nodded at what Alice said. "Ya. I love her. She knows that...but now she thinks I'm an ass for recking her room, and flipping out." I sat down again on my bed and Alice sat beside me, rubbing my back.

"She really does love you. But why would you do that? Before talking to her about it?" I shrugged.

"I don't know. Something just came over me." She shook her head.

"No, I think that you believe she doesn't love you and she's going to leave you. Sorry, brother dear she's not going anywhere...without you." Is that what I felt. Whatever it was I never wanted to feel it again.

"Is she safe...where ever she's going?" She nodded and got up to leave me alone.

"You better start planning something, she has to forgive your sorry ass." She closed the door, to hide her laughter. but I still heard it. Alice was right I had to plan something for Bella to show her how much I loved her and that I was truly sorr for what I did. I just hope she'll understand.

When I got to Charlie's I used my key and found the house to be empty. So I called Charlie, as I sat down to watch some TV.

"Hey Bells! Why are you calling me?" I heard laughter in the background, and smiled I'm glad he was having fun for once where ever he was.

"Well I thought I would surprise you and come over for a visit but you not here." He laughed and so did I.

"I'm in Seattle for a police conference. I'm here hanging out with Billy Black, he came with me." Wow. Billy Black, I hadn't seen him in ages. I used to be friends with his son Jacob. That was before I went off to college.

"Oh that's cool. Tell him I said hello. When are you going to be home?" I asked him.

"In 5 days." I told him that it was cool ad I was going to stay at the house for awhile. He didn't ask any questions and I was glad. But he did tell me to go down and visit Jacob one of my days that I wasn't with Alice or anybody else. I said I would and we said our goodbyes. Well looks like I'm going to visit an old friend tomorrow. I turned off the TV and made my way upstairs, going into my old bedroom. Brought back so many memories. I smiled as I laid down to sleep but when I remebered Edward and how he would hum my lullaby to me to fall asleep. I missed him. I tried to sleep but couldn't. I finally dreamed of nothing and fell asleep, but then was awakened by a dream about Edward that fluttered into my mind.
