As always, I own none of the characters, except Edward in my mind.
I sat with my face in my hands on the floor of my room crying, because the one person I loved more then anything would never love me back. Not like I wanted him to.
There was a small knock on the door. I groaned and attempted to ignore it; I really didn't want to hear Rose or Alice lecture me or throw a pity party.
"I'm in bed guys, I'll talk to you tomorrow." I shouted.
"Bella? It's me, can I talk to you?" Oh god, not now. Edward.
With a heartfelt sigh, I pushed myself off the ground and wiped my face clean of the stupid, treacherous tears that continued to flow and sucked in a deep breath.
"Come on in," I said as I made my way to my bed.
"Hey, you kind of just left, are you ok?" Edward walked over to me and sat down next to me on my right.
"I'm just tired; I think the drinks may have gone to my head." keep your cool Bella.
"So…that was…that was some kiss back there, huh?" Edward asked as he nudged my side with his elbow playfully. I could hear a strain in his voice; he was holding something back.
"Ah, so you came in here to make jokes?" I flipped away from him and stared at the wall morosely.
"No, I didn't come in here to make jokes, Bella. It's just…something about that kiss…it was like you meant it," He glanced over at me to gauge my reaction to his statement.
"What do you mean?"
"Well…what I mean is, I understand the difference between a kiss and a kiss. A kiss is something you do for a dare; something I do for when I have to lock lips with a complete stranger in front of 30 different people. A kiss, however, has feeling. Emotion. Meaning. Bella, you meant that kiss."
Stupid lack of self control.
"Edward, it was a dare, that's all." I answered, trying to ignore the tingling sensation his speech on kisses had caused.
"Bella, if you don't want to talk about it then tell me. Don't lie about it, I wouldn't lie to you. As a matter of fact, I'm not going to lie to you now."
What…?
"What do you mean by that?" I asked carefully.
"Bella, when we kissed I felt something. I never thought about it before, but when our lips touched, there was an undeniable spark and I never wanted to leave your lips."
I couldn't breath.
he couldn't be saying what I think he's saying.
"Bella, breath." Edward commanded as I felt like my lungs were about to burst.
I felt his hands cup my face gently and I closed my eyes. This had to be a dream, I needed to wake up before I went to deep…
"Look at me Bella." Edward asked softly.
I forced my eyes open and discovered that he was mere inches away from my face. I could feel his warm breath blow across my lips.
"I think…I think I may be in love with you Bella." He ducked his head and found a stain on the carpet that had suddenly interested him.
WHAT!
I was still unable to speak, my mind was racing a mile a minute and it was beyond impossible to form any words. Everyone had been right! He loved me too! After all this time I thought I wasn't good enough, and he loved me too.
I was just about to tell him I loved him too, when I felt his lips on mine which stopped any words from leaving my mouth. His soft, warm lips ravaged mine in open mouth kisses, and his tongue once again asked for access and was granted without hesitation. I felt one hand move to the back of my head, pushing me tightly to him. My arms snaked around his neck in response. I could do this forever; every day for the rest of my life.
I couldn't believe this was happening.
And then it happened.
I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your faceYou get sprung
What the hell?
Edward's grip on me loosened and he started to fade away as light started to invade my vision.
My eyes blinked furiously as I tried to find Edward in my room, until they finally opened up and I realized what happened. It was a dream. Everything was just a stupid, torturous dream.
My phone, which was currently screaming Sir Mix a lot to notify me that Emmett was calling, was the reason my dream was ruined. A dream, of course, because that would never happened. I pressed ignore so it would send Emmett to voicemail. I pulled one of my pillows over my eyes, willing myself to go back to sleep so that I could finish the closest thing I would have to what I wanted… But it was useless. I was up.
Upset at my current situation, I kicked my legs a few times against the cushioned mattress in frustration. GAH!
I laid there for a while longer trying to relax. It was just a dream, no need to be so upset.
I finally kicked the covers off and stood up.
Destination: Shower.
I walked to my dresser and grabbed a pair of underwear and a bra, then made my way to the bathroom. Once I turned on the shower to the correct temperature, I undressed and stepped in. I allowed the water to beat against my tense body while I tried to clear my mind. Once I was a little more calm, I continued with my normal shower regimen of washing my hair and body, then made my way out of the shower. I toweled off, and put on my bra and underwear.
I began the trek back towards my room while I was towel drying my hair-and not paying attention-when I crashed into something hard and soft.
Before I could look up to see what it was, I felt two arms wrap around me instinctively and it spoke.
"Bella, what am I going to do with you? Can't even come out of a shower without attempting to get yourself hurt," said the smooth husky voice.
"Very funny, I do recall you having eyes, though. Why didn't you stop me from crashing into you?"
"Well, I was a little distracted by your choice of outfit." oh no.
I had completely forgot that I was in a bra and panties, nothing else.
"Hey," I quickly wrapped the towel around me." Don't you knock?"
He obviously found something amusing about the situation, but I didn't.
"Bella, we've taken baths together, I have seen you in much less."
"Yea, those baths happened before we both developed anything worth looking at."
"Oh, you think I have something you would like to look at now, do you?"
Now he was being a smart ass.
"How many times do I have to tell you, Edward, you walk around the house practically naked all the time. That isn't something entirely new."
"Yea, yea," He ruffle my wet hair playfully, "I came in here to tell you something, but you distracted me."
"What?"
"Angela called. There's a night club opening tonight and they would like for me to make an appearance. I can bring whomever I want, so I figured another gang experience was called for."
"Sounds good. I'll call Alice and Rose and let them relay the message to the guys."
"Alright, and I will let you put some clothes on." He gave me a nudge causing me to almost tip over and left.
I made my way to my closet to grab a pair of dark denim peddle pushers, and a hunter green capped sleeved T-shirt, and put them on. I made my way back to the bathroom to brush my teeth and hair and decided to toss it up in a ponytail, before making my way to my bed to call the others and see if they were up for joining us tonight.
I grabbed the phone off the nightstand and flipped it open, taking a deep breath before I punched in the numbers belonging to the tiny pixie whom I knew wouldn't let me off this phone call without mentioning last night.
The phone rang three times before she picked up..
"Bella!" She answered with too much exuberance.
"Hey Alice, what are you up to?'' I hoped she would forego the questions of how I was doing.
"Bella, are you alright? I was so worried about you! He is so blind Bella, I am so sorry. We are going to make it up to you, you're going to get all dolled up and then he won't know what hit him," And my hopes were dashed.
"Alice…Alice, stop! I don't want to talk about it. I don't want to think about it. I just want to forget it ever happened."
"But Bella, you…" I cut her off.
"Alice…no…I am asking you, as my friend, to please let it go for now."
"Fine, for now." I could hear the pout in her voice.
"Anyway, the reason I called is because Edward was invited to a club opening tonight to show off his pretty face. He wanted to see if you and the gang would like to come?"
"Of course, how exciting is that? Oh, you have to let me dress you for this. Please, Bella, please?" she was using her little girl voice and I couldn't say no.
"Fine, but nothing crazy. You can doll me up all you want, but I am not leaving the house in anything that if I move the wrong way, parts of my body will pop out."
"Deal!" she screeched.
"Alice, can you call Rose and let her and Emmett know? I don't feel like hearing the Bella pity party this morning ok? I saw the looks you all gave me, and you know Rose doesn't take no for an answer."
" Of course Bella. I am sorry, though."
"I know. I will see you all here at the house around eight, okay?"
"See ya then!"
With that, I hung up and tried to think of what I would do today. I got up and went over to the computer to see if there was anything I could do that was work related. I cleaned up my desk, and filed away some of Edward's recent jobs. But I kept going back to what happened last night, the way his hands felt on my face, how his lips tasted like the fruity drinks we were having. How he smelled-I was no stranger to Edwards scent-but in the moment, it was so much more potent.
Stop it Bella, he only sees you as his friend.
I leaned back in my desk chair and ran my hands threw my hair and over my face trying to focus on something else; anything else.
I looked at the clock on the computer and saw that I had been putting off leaving my room now for almost three hours. I hadn't eaten anything today and was in desperate need of some form of caffeine.
I stood up and made my way out of my room to hit up the kitchen. I walked down the hallway and stopped as I entered the living room. Edward was sitting on the couch in nothing but a pair of olive green cargo shorts. His feet were resting on the coffee table and he was watching something on the T.V.
"Hey goober," Edward said once he noticed me there.
"Hey," I responded with a smile. "Whatcha doing?"
"Nothing much. I was bored and decided to watch some movies. Nothing much going on until we go out tonight. Did you talk to the others?" I walked over to him plopping down on the couch.
"Yep, Alice is calling them and letting them know. I get to be made into a Barbie tonight. So Alice most likely will be over here early,"
"Fun stuff. I know how much you love being treated all girly." he mushed my hair with his hand.
"Yea, it's what I live for." I said smacking his hand away.
We sat there in silence for a few minutes before I remembered why I had come out here in the first place. I stood to get something to eat and drink from the kitchen.
"Want anything to drink?" I asked, seeing as I was heading that way.
"Sure, I'll come with you. I'm starving." He held his hand out for me to help pull him from the couch. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and walked with me to the kitchen.
Why did stupid little actions like that have to send my heart in overdrive?
We got to the kitchen and opened the fridge. I pulled out my jumbo Red Bull. I didn't feel like coffee at the moment but needed the jolt. Edward pulled out things to make sandwiches and proceeded to make one for each of us while I grabbed some chips out of the cupboard. Edward pulled the plates down from a cabinet, and plated the food.
"Grab me a Coke, would you? I'll carry these out to the couch." Edward said picking up the plates and heading back out to the living room.
I grabbed him a coke and went to my seat next to him and grabbed my plate. I had to laugh at us, he knew me so well. I looked at something as simple as the sandwich he made me. He had cut the crust off, knowing I hated it. Even though he complained about it when I did it, he still did it for me.
He was just too perfect. He knew me so well and I loved him for it. I couldn't give that up; I wouldn't. There was no way I would ever be able to tell him that I was in love with him. The consequences were too great to risk.
We sat for the rest of the day, watching movies and chatting. At some point, we both fell asleep.
When I was woken by a bell going off at an annoying rate, I opened my eyes slowly trying to focus and remember where I was. I felt a body move beneath me and popped up. I had fallen asleep and apparently ended up with my head on Edward's lap. I turned and looked at him. He was still asleep with his head leaning back and eyes closed.
The Bell rang again and I slowly pushed myself off the couch and made my way to the door, only to dread what was about to happen.
There stood Alice in all her crazed shopping addict glory. She held multiple bags in each hand, she had her huge bug sunglasses on top of her tiny head and a hand placed on her hip as she tapped her designer shoes impatiently.
"What took you so long to answer the door, Bella?"
"I fell asleep watching the movie." She walked past me to head to my room.
She noticed Edward asleep on the couch-basically naked- and raised a perfectly groomed eyebrow.
"I take it your were sleeping with him?" She inclined her head towards Edward.
"Not like that. Must you bee such a perv non-stop?" I said shaking my head.
"Pssh, Bella it's a natural response. Ease up a bit."
Edward was starting to stir on the couch as I took a few bags from Alice and went to lead her back to my room.
"Hey there stud," Said Alice as she past the newly awoken Edward.
" Hey Pix, I see you've been out doing what you do best." he nodded towards the many bags.
"Ah, my style-challenged friend, it is only one of the many things I am good at. The others however are only for Jasper's eyes." She had a smirk on her face
"Oh man, way too much info,Ali, no more." Edward and I said in unison. Edward and I looked at each other then laughed.
Well, that was strange…
"Well, we are off to get ready for this club thing tonight. Oh! I almost forgot."
She took one of the bags from me and handed it to Edward. Inside was a new outfit for him to wear tonight.
"Wear that, it will look great."
"What ever would I do without you?" He was amazed at her ability to think of every detail.
" Oh lord, Edward, you would probably end up on Cosmos do and don't list."
He just rolled his eyes and made his way to his room.
Once inside my room, Alice went to work and started removing my clothes.
"Alice, I've been dressing and undressing my self for many years now, and going to the pottie all by myself. I think I candle handle stripping myself, thank you." I laughed as I swatted away her eager hands.
"Yes, but Bella, you've been dressing yourself like an assistant librarian for all those years. The mission is to get you noticed for the hot sexy bia you are. Now stop the bitching, and get dressed."
With more force then I expected from her, she shoved two bags at me. One was obvious as to what was in it, seeing as it was the trademark pink and white strips, but the other was a plain silver bag. I headed off the bathroom to change. I didn't understand the point of such skimpy bra and panty set when no one was going to see them.
However, I dressed without too much complaint for fear of facing the wrath of Alice. For someone so tiny, she could be extremely scary.
When I pulled out the dress from the unmarked bag, I was confused.
"Ummm, Alice? I think you brought me the wrong dress, not that I am complaining or anything," I shouted from the bathroom. There was no way Alice meant for me to wear this to a club.
Alice came peaking around the door with a smirk on her face.
"Do you like it?" She asked, already knowing my answer.
" I love it Alice, it's beautiful,"
I pulled the dress over my head to exam it on. I was stunned. It was very me; comfortable, but not over the top sexy.
The black silk Michael Kors dress Alice had picked out for me was stunning. It a little below mid-thigh on me and had elbow length sleeves with banded cuffs. It tied at the waist and had a pleated neckline with a tie and keyhole detail. The fabric felt amazing on my skin and I loved it. Normally if Alice was playing dress-up Bella, she would have put me in something over the top revealing wise, but this felt like me.
"Well, I felt bad about last night, and you know I thought I owed it to you to allow you to be yourself. You're beautiful no matter what Bella. And this is classic sexy, rather then trampy sexy...He's an idiot you know."
"Alice, don't worry about it. I told you he didn't feel that way about me. There is no reason to be upset with him. He doesn't know. You can't be upset with him for it."
"He is blind, then. Because you are perfect." She pulled me into a warm hug.
" Sure, sure. Let's not get all mushy."
"Alright, well it is hair and makeup time, then!" she crowed as she began to bounce on the balls of her feet. Of course it is.
By the time Alice was through, she has pulled all my hair into a low pony tail that was slightly off to one side and draped over my left shoulder. She even gave me one of those little poofs on the top to make it more "stylish". The makeup she did simple; a little mascara and some liner with a little blush and some red tinted gloss to finish it up. I actually really liked what she did. It was a lot less clothes and a lot more makeup then I would normally wear, but it was still me.
We were walking out into the front room when the doorbell rang and Edward stepped out of the kitchen. I felt as if all the air had been knocked out of me once I laid eyes one him.
His hair was still a little damp from his shower, so it was somewhat slicked back, with pieces sticking out here and there. He had opted not to shave, so he had some of that sexy, scruffy stubble that made him look rugged. He was wearing a black button down shirt, which he left un-tucked with his sleeves rolled up past his elbows, and the top three buttons undone, showing off his amazing chest. He had on faded jeans that had the worn out holes in the knees and the messy edges around the bottom of the leg.
He looked absolutely beautiful.
I watched him get the door and our friends enter. I couldn't help it, I was drooling basically. Well, that was until Alice elbowed me in the ribs.
"Snap out of it Bella, or he is going to notice." She hissed behind a smile.
"OW, must you be so violent?" I whined as I slowly rubbed the area where she had elbowed me.
"Hey, I'm trying to be a friend; look out for my girl." She answered with an innocent smile. Stupid pixie.
"Damn, Bella, you look hot." called Emmett's boisterous voice.
I felt my face start to warm as everyone turned to look at me now.
"Ha, and I got a blush out of you. SCORE!" Emmett bellowed as he made the 'cha-ching' movement with his big arm.
I gave a small laugh. He really was easily amused.
We started to grab our things to get ready to leave, when Edward walked over to me.
"You clean up good, kid," Ugh.
"Too bad I can't say the same for you…couldn't find any pants without holes in them?" I teased.
"Hey, I am trying to bring this trend back, it was my favorite," he said proudly. "Plus, blame Alice. She dressed me."
We made our way out to the cars and headed to the club.
Forbidden was the club's name, and it was it's opening night. The owners were three of Hollywood's golden boys who decided to venture into the new trend of being co-owners of hot new nightspots. They wanted the hottest of the hot people to show up tonight to help promote their business in hopes to get the crowds flowing.
Once we were close to the club, we could see the carpet out and the photogs lined up behind the rope in order to get pictures of those entering for the night. Edward seemed cool and calm about it, but I however started to feel my stomach begin knot. No matter how many of these things I had walked with him, I still hated being in front of all those people. I knew they weren't there for me, but it still made me nervous.
We made our way out of the car and waited for the others to catch up. Once we were all together, we headed for the carpet.
"Relax Bella, a few photos and we're in." Edward whispered into my ear as he squeezed my hand. I felt a shiver run down my spin as his warm breath tickled the nape of my neck.
We had reached the carpet and the flashes from the cameras were lighting up the night. The voices of the photographers screaming out the names of the others in attendance were all that could be heard. Rosalie and Emmett went first. Of course Rose loved the attention and gave the guys a show, posing and kissing Emmett. Then went Alice and Jasper. She was pretty well known stylist to the stars and had a few calls for her name. And like Rose, she loved it and did her signature over the shoulder pose. I took a deep breath as Edward started to walk forward. If I thought the shouts for the first of our friends was loud, it compared nothing to what Edward got. He kept my hand firmly in his, and stopped to flash his famous smile. He began to move slowly, still posing and smiling. His hand left mine, and he snaked his arm around my waist; signaling that it was almost done. They were shouting his name, asking him to look here or there, each trying to get their big money shot.
We finally reached the door and I had never been more thankful. We made our way inside to see that the others were waiting for us by the bar. They had already ordered some drinks, so we took them to find a place to sit. The inside of the club was pretty normal for around here. There was a huge stage and dance floor in the middle, on a level slightly higher were nothing but big round white booths were located for people to sit and take a break from dancing. Of course a little higher up was a VIP area for only the "important" people. We hardly ever took advantage of the offers, Edward liked sitting in the regular area, he saw no reason to be separated from the normal population. It is just how he always was.
We headed over to sit in an empty booth and chat and drink until we wanted to dance. After about ten minutes of sitting, Alice was about to burst with impatience and to chant that she wanted to dance. She of course grabbed my hand, and Rose followed. The boys stayed behind. I glanced back and saw Edward laughing and shaking his head. He knew I had no rhythm and this was going to be a disaster. We had danced to about three songs; Alice and Rose of course looking like they were natural born dancers, while I looked like I had contracted a rare form of Parkinson's, when I felt someone's hands wrap around my waist. I spun around quickly and came face to face with Edward.
"I couldn't stand watching you attempt to dance any longer, so I came to help." He whispered in my ear.
"Really, and what do you plan on doing?"
"I plan on showing you that it isn't as hard as you're making it out to be."
Just then, a song that I new very well came on; one that Edward would blast in his car just to sing the lyrics, which would always cause me bust out laughing at his attempt to some-what rap. He had to have requested this to help relax me and try to get me to have fun.
The beat had started and then I heard the lyrics. Edward was already moving to the beat, hands on my hips looking into my eyes telling me silently to just follow his lead.
You can do it put your back into it
I can do it put your ass into it
You can do it put your back into it
I can do it put your ass into it
Put your back into it
Put your ass into it
I started to mimic what Edward was doing and I was getting pretty good at it. He would smile and laugh helping my nerves ease. It was something about this song; the memory with Edward.. Just made me smile.
I was really getting into it, which caused Rose and Alice to give out encouraging cheers.
All of sudden, Edward spun me around so that I was pressed up against him dancing to the song. His hands were on my hips, and I was grinding my ass right into him as the music played on. I could feel his hands tighten on my waist as I made contact with him in an area I had never before made contact.
You can do it put your back into it
I can do it put your ass into it
You can do it put your back into it
I can do it put your ass into it
Put your back into it
Put your ass into it
Every time Ice Cube said put your ass into it, I did just that. Earning a response out of Edward each time. I don't know what came over me and made me so brave, but I was thoroughly enjoying his reaction to it. I was leaning slightly forward and he had one arm wrapped around my waist, and his other hand was on my back and he was grinding into me too. Being this close to him like this-sweaty and in a club full of people where he was only paying attention to me- caused me to tremble with joy. In that moment,I was able to forget that he saw me as a friend, and hoped that maybe he saw me as more.
"Damn Bella," Emmett's voice boomed. "You're going to cause Eddie to have a heart attack if you keep dancing with him like that!"
I felt the blush rise, but I didn't care because what happened next made my heart stop.
I stood up and leaned my back into Edward- still dancing- and he put his mouth next to my ear and said…
"You really are beautiful Bella, you know that, right? His voice was deeper, huskier then it usually was.
I was at a loss for words and just shook my head, thankful to have my back to him.
"Well, you should, because you are." He continued to dance with me until the music ended and we all went to take a breather.
We made our way back to our booth and Edward said he was off to get us another round of drinks. As soon as he was gone I felt four pairs of eyes looking at me. I couldn't help but widen the cheesy grin that I had plastered on my face.
"Oh my God," Alice squealed. "Did you tell him?"
I shook my head.
"What then? what is this smile for?" Rose asked.
"Hell, I bet Edward has a huge smile too. Did you see her grinding into him? That was enough to excite anyone." Emmett laughed.
"Should have known that all it would take to get Bella to dance like that is Edward." Alice joked.
"You all are being silly, it was just dancing. You act like I had sex with him on the dance floor." I scoffed. My friends were easily pleased.
"No Bella, you should have seen you, heck you should have seen him! He had a look of shock, and you looked so happy. It was way too adorable." Alice chirped happily.
"Well, he did tell me I was beautiful…" I couldn't help grinning when I thought back to his breath fanning across the side of my face…the words he whispered…
A round of squeals came from Alice and Rose.
"So, does that make you feel better about maybe having a talk with him?" Alice asked excitedly.
"I don't know, a little bit I guess. I'm just scared. I don't want to lose him."
"Oh, Bella, you won't. When he comes back, lets all have our drinks and then we can go dance again." Rose suggested.
"Sounds good to me." The thought of dancing with Edward again gave me a permanent smile.
"I'm going to go see if Edward needs any help at the bar, come with me Jasper." Emmett scooted out of the booth and Jasper followed.
The girls and I continued chatting while we waited for the boys to come back. I saw Emmett's curly head bobbing through the crowd as he made his way back. But once I could see his face, I knew something was wrong.
He sat down and leaned over to Rose and whispered something into her ear, and her head shot up with what looked like anger in her eyes.
"Rose, what's wrong?" I asked as I felt my stomach begin to knot uncomfortably.
She didn't answer me, but leaned over to Alice and said something in her ear, and again the same expression came across her face. I spotted Jasper as he made his way back over, also with a look of annoyance painted across his features.
"Will someone please tell me what is going on? Where is Edward? I thought you all were helping him bring drinks back?"
"Bella, come to the bathroom with Rose and I. We need to freshen up." Alice started to move over, trying to get me out of the booth. I didn't budge.
"Alice, tell me."
"I will Bella, lets just go to the bathroom ok?"
I sighed and decided to follow her there. I wanted to know what the deal was.
I didn't have to wait till the bathroom, though. As I waited for Rose to get out of the booth, Edward made his way over to the table and he had a strawberry blond girl attached to his hip and an arm wrapped around her.
I couldn't breath. I swayed a bit as the pain of seeing someone that close to him shot through me.
"Hey guys, I want you to meet someone. Everyone, this is Tanya. Tanya, you met Jasper and Emmett already. This here is Rosalie, she's Emmett's girlfriend, and this is Alice, Jasper's girlfriend… and then of course, this is my best friend, Bella." She shook everyone's hand, but when she came to me, she looked me over as if to size up the competition. By the look on her face I could tell she was satisfied there was none. Of course there wasn't.
"Tanya and I have worked together before," Edward began, completely oblivious to Tanya stare down. "Tanya is a model and actress. She was just telling me about a shoot coming up and they are looking for a male model, she is going to recommend me."
"Well Edward, they said they were looking for someone extremely sexy, and I immediately thought of you." Tanya cooed as she ran her fingers down his cheek. Edward looked down at her with a sly smirk.
I gasped at the pain that shot through my heart seeing someone this up close throw themselves at him. He was responding.
He just laughed and Emmett- trying to be nice- said, "Now don't go giving Edward a bigger head then he already has Tanya."
"Oh, I don't believe it." Tanya exclaimed flirtatiously, " I have worked with him before and he is ever so humble." she was looking up at him batting her eye lashes.
I heard Rose make a vomit sound that gladly only Alice, Jasper, and I caught.
"You want to go back to dancing, everyone?" Edward asked.
Everyone agreed happily, that was until Tanya said she didn't have anyone to dance with and said she was going to go back to her friends. Edward stopped her telling her that I didn't really like dancing anyway so he could dance with her.
I watched him and Tanya go hand in hand to the dance floor. Rose looked like she was about to hit Edward, Alice turned to me to say something but I stopped her. Holding back the tears as best I could, I stopped her.
"I don't want to hear it, Alice. Please. I am just going to go, ok? I am going to take a cab back. Just tell him I got tired, not that he'll notice I'm gone anyway." I sniffled slight and ran the back of my hand over my nose as it began to sting harshly.
"But Bella…" Alice cried, her expression looked torn between sadness and hatred.
"No, I'm fine, I'm just tired… I'll talk to you all tomorrow." I gave them each a small hug and left the club as fast as I could before the tears started to flow.
One of the bodyguards hailed a cab for me and once in the back seat I spent yet another night crying over Edward.
I couldn't keep doing this, it would have to stop soon.
a/n: won won won... stupid boys
