Hi! First of all, sorry for not updating for the last two weeks. I was hiding. No. I was caught up in schoolwork. You know how busy real life can get. So here's the chapter! Do you want the next to be EPOV?

I own nothing!

"Alice please. We just have to pretend that I can't remember him until he goes away." I explained to her.

"But Bella, you know how hard it will be, with mutual friends and stuffs like that it will be hard to hide!" Alice is in full panic mode right now, she's pacing back and forth in front of me. she was thinking. She was thinking hard, about how are we gonna do this or how do we gonna full it off. "This is such a bad idea Bella!" she scolded me. "But I'll do it."

"Really? Really Alice?" I jumped off my seat and threw myself to her. I hugged her so tight that I might have broken a few ribs of hers.

"Yeah, yeah. You're my friend Bella. Bestfriend even, and I'm going to do this because I don't want you to face this alone." She said as she hugged me back. I am so greatful for what she is doing for me. she is really my best friend.

"Edward wants to stay with Jasper and i." she said out of the blue.

"What?" I almost screamed. It was my turn to panic now. Why would he want to stay with Alice and Jasper? Oh right, Jasper is his best friend. This is going to be very hard.

"Bella, he's still Jasper's best friend, he can't refuse to let him stay with us. Don't worry, I'll tell Jasper our plan. I'm sure he'll understand why we're doing this."

"Are you sure? I mean, he's his best friend." I asked, I was unsure of Jasper's reaction.

"I am sure Bella. He knew what you had to go through when Edward left." Alice assured me.

"Ok." I replied. Let's just hope he will.

It's been a week since I've seen Edward. Thank god! I can't take another encounter with him, I might die or I might kill him. I've been loving this week. He hasn't bothered me in anyway. I hope it will stay that way.

I am sitting behind my desk, editing a book a writer sent to me. There wasn't much to edit, she did a great job with it. Suddenly my door opened.

"Don't you know how to knock?" I asked without looking up from what I was doing. The person sat on one of the chairs in front of my desk and made himself comfortable. Obviously, this person doesn't have manners.

"Good morning, Miss Swan." The velvet voice said. I looked up at him and saw him smiling at me. does he think that I will fall for that smile again? Pathetic Mr. Cullen. I'll never fall in love with you again.

"Edward Cullen, right? What can I do for you? How did you know where I work?" I asked, implying that I don't know him. I swear if Alice gave him that information I'm gonna turn that pixie into golden dust.

"Well, it wasn't too hard to find a certain Isabella Swan in Seattle; you're one of a kind."

Oh yeah. If I was one of a kind why did you leave me? I wanted to shout at him. If he was looking for me why didn't he do it a year ago, why now?

"Okay. So why are you here?"

"I wanted to see you." He said. Fury is rising inside my body. I cannot understand his motive for doing this.

"Why?" I asked again, hoping to get more from him other than his vague answers.

"I want catch up, I haven't seen you for two years." He answered as he looked at the view outside my huge window. "I want to know you again." He had a faraway look on his face. He seems to be thinking of something, or maybe even remembering something.

"I'm sorry, but I don't really remember you. Are you supposed to be someone important or something?"

"I guess, I was someone important." He looked at me, smiling like he did before but I can see that it was just a mask. He was hiding something, something that maybe will be better if I wouldn't know. I hate the guilt that I feel. I shouldn't be guilty at all! I'm not the one who ran away on what was supposed to be our happiest day. I wasn't the one who was unsure of everything. I was the one who was left.

Though I feel the anger inside of me, I can't help but feel that I should help him. I don't like this feeling at all. I was the one who was badly hurt not him.

"Will you go out for lunch with me?" he asked. His eyes shining and pleading. He was begging me to say yes. Though I don't want to be around him, I need to do this. I'll do this because I wanted to know why. I want to ask him a lot of questions. Somehow I knew that his answers will set me free.

"Ok. Just let me grab my things." I answered. I'm really going to do this.

There's no turning back, I need this.

So what do you think? Do you have any questions, comments or suggestions? Just tell me, please?

Love Love Love
