A/N: Sorry about delay


Chapter 15: mystery revealed

EPOV

It was as if the brunette had me in a trance. All I knew was 1) I had to find out her name and 2) she was walking away from me- quickly. By the time I caught up with her she was in the lift and the doors were shutting with no way for me to find her. I just had to go with my instinct and tell the producers that I wanted her to interview me, then maybe after the interview I could get to know her.

As I got to my room after my talk with the producers I heard my phone ring and went to answer it.

I wasn't ready to face him just yet. I knew I would have to be ready though if I was chosen to interview him.

When I looked at him all my memories of us as friends came back but then the part where we grew apart came to the forefront and I remembered why I left. I still however felt a connection to him and a sense of emptiness came over me. I wasn't sure what this meant. It was clear from his reaction to me that he didn't remember me, which just made me feel worse. Did I impact his life so little that he wouldn't remember me?

Then I had the idea to call Alice and see what she thinks. Now that I thought about it she seemed a little too happy that I was given this assignment. Then I realised that she must have known that Edward was the lead in the movie and that I may have to interview him.

I picked up my phone without looking at the caller id and regretted it the instance I heard her voice on the other end.

"Hello Edward, nice to hear from you too."

"Hello Alice, what do I owe the pleasure of talking to you?" I asked. There was something in her voice that told me this was more then just a 'checking in' call.

"Does a sister have to have a reason to talk to her brother?" she asked.

I now knew there was something behind her call, she usually just gets to the point.

"What is it Alice? I'm tired and need to be ready for my interview tomorrow and coming out to the world."

"Oh yeah you have that interview tomorrow" she replied. She was playing coy with me; she knew that I had an interview that would announce me to the world as an actor, which would be an end to my anonymity. She was testing my patience.

"Come on out with it Alice. I know you want to tell me something."

"Did you see her?" See who, who is she talking about?

"Who Alice?"

"Bella, silly. Have you seen her? She was sent by her magazine to interview you." Now I suddenly realised where I had seen those brown eyes before, they belonged to Bella- my long lost friend and soul mate. Once I came to this realisation everything else went into perspective. I now knew why I had an electric current go through me when I touched her. It was Bella, and she was going to interview me tomorrow. What am I going to do? I hadn't seen Bella in years, we knew nothing about who we had become. I wondered whether she had thought about me over the years like I had her.

Alice yelling into the phone took me out of my reverie.

"You have seen her, haven't you? I knew this would work out in the end. You two together again! I can't wait to tell mum and dad."

I had no idea what she was on about. What do mum and dad have anything to do with this?

"What do you mean Alice?"

"I mean that you and Bella can finally admit to each other that you miss one another."

"Alice I haven't even talked to her."

"What do you mean you haven't talked to her yet? I thought that by your silence you had?"

"No Alice, I've just seen her around. I didn't even realise it was her until about five minutes ago when you told me she was here."

There was silence on the other end of the phone and I thought she may have hung up on me.

"Alice?"

"What?" she asked.

"You went quiet, what's going on?"

"I thought that you would recognise her. I had a feeling that this meeting would be good for both of you, get you both to admit your feelings for each other."

"What do you mean feelings Alice? And how do you know what I feel for Bella? Or even what she feels for me? We haven't seen her since she left to live with her mum!" This conversation was starting to confuse me. How did Alice know that Bella would be here and how would she know what we were feeling?

"YOU haven't seen her since she left, Edward, not me. I've been keeping in touch with Bella ever since she left. Who do you think introduced me to Jasper? And how do you think I found Rosalie?"

She had a point. I was the one that hadn't kept in touch with Bella.

BPOV

I had decided to call Alice. I knew now that she wasn't telling me something.

"I had a feeling you would be calling me," she answered.

"What no hello, how is the junket?" I replied.

"Ok, Hi Bella, how is the junket going?"

"It's fine, but I have a feeling you already knew that."

"So how is Edward? I haven't seen him for a few weeks."

"I knew it! You did know that Edward was the lead and didn't say anything to me. Thanks for the warning."

"You told me you didn't want to hear anything about Edward. I was just following your wishes," she replied. She had a point I did ask her not to mention Edward but I thought she would have at least given me a heads up that he would be here.

"Is that the reason you helped me with my wardrobe?"

"No of course not, I love shopping."

I knew I wasn't going to get anything else out of her tonight so decided to get an early night so I could be ready for my 'maybe' interview.

"Ok Alice, I really should go to bed I have a big day tomorrow."

"Oh, of course Bella! Have a good night and enjoy yourself tomorrow, and don't do anything I wouldn't."

What did she mean by that. I had a feeling that she knew even more then what she was letting on but I was tired and wanted to get to bed so let it go.

"Goodnight Alice."

"Night Bella."

As soon as I had hung up with Alice my phone started ringing. It was a number I didn't recognise but from this area. That was strange I didn't know anyone that lived in this area, except the event coordinators.

"Hello."

"Ms Swan?"

"Yes."

"We would like to inform you that you won the lottery and will be interviewing Edward Masen tomorrow."

My heart stopped for a second. I didn't expect this. Alice must have known, this is what she was referring to when she told me not to do anything she wouldn't.

I said thank you and ended the call. There was no way I could sleep now.
