A/N Since I was so terribly late in posting the last chapter, I thougt I would post this for you guys. I hope you enjoy! Oh and by the way, I have Internet again, YAY, so I will be posting more reliably. (: NOW TO THE STORY!

Chapter Nine, Maybe I Was Wrong.

Edward and I laid there on the sidewalk; he didn't say a word as I sobbed. I didn't need to tell him what happened; he only needed to read my thoughts.

"Are you ready to go home?" He whispered to me softly when my sobs finally died down.

I'm sorry.

"Why are you sorry?" He asked me incredulously.

Because I am being pathetic and sobbing all over the sidewalk, and that caused you to lay here with me and witness my unbelievably stupid behavior.

Edward popped on up on his side, leaning on his elbow. "What is stupid is that you would even think that! Now I'm not really good with this crying thing and making you feel better, but I do not think that laying on the sidewalk will help, and you really need a girl right now."

Edward picked me up, easily, and put me in his car.

"We're taking you home." He said matter of factly.

~000~

Ugh, light!

Was my first thought when I woke up. The window was allowing the sun shine in my face, and when I tried to move there was a pair of arms around me.

Oh yeah…

Edward had taken me home and him and Esme somehow managed to talk me into changing from my wrinkled dirty dress to my pajamas. Edward went home when I had stopped crying. But unfortunately that didn't last long. Esme and I sat up all night talking about it all the while I cried. I don't even understand my feelings; I don't know why this has affected me so strongly.

I carefully untangled myself from Esme's arms and went down stairs to get some breakfast. Something smelled good,

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH" I screamed at the top of my lungs when I stepped into the kitchen.

"WHOA! OW! Mar-Mar it's too early to be yelling!" Emmett said.

There was Emmett, Edward, Rose, and Bella all standing in my kitchen and cooking a giant breakfast.

Everyone looked a little sheepish.

"Well Bella is an amazing cook, and Rose has an awesome movie collection, and Emmett brought some board games, and I brought my keyboard." Edward spoke in a casual but almost timid way.

"A fun day with all of us, and some comfort food and Edward playing." Bella said kindly, although her cheeks were a little red from Edward's compliment.

I was moved by my friend's endeavors. I felt something warm and thick on my cheek, but I quickly wiped it away.

You need to pull yourself together, all of your friends are here, and you don't need to ruin what they are doing for you. Maybe you need to have some fun.

Edward smiled at me, "Good, it seems that you are in agreement."

~000~

"WHAT! NO WAY!" Edward cried out.

Rosalie laughed evilly, rubbing her hands together. "OH YES!"

Bella, Emmett, and I were rolling on the floor laughing. My stomach felt like it was going to split down the sides.

"SHE…TOTALLY….KICKED YOUR….SCRONY BUTT!" Bella said between her giggles.

"NO! Redo! Redo! I totally went easy on her!" Edward tried to say confidently.

"You are sweating Ed! She didn't even mess up her hair!" Emmett bellowed out.

Edward crossed his arms and rolled his eyes. "Whatever!"
"I cannot believe Rosalie just beat you at arm wrestling!" I giggled out.

"I'm glad you're all enjoying this!" Edward muttered out.

"HA! I am! I wish you could have seen your face!" Rose said trying to mimic him.

Emmett scrunched his face together and crossed his eyes, "Noo, he looked like this!"

Bella and I started laughing harder at Emmett's face.

"Edward, Rose has been beating you all day! First at Monopoly, then Twister, then chutes and ladders, she guessed your every turn at charades, and now this! You should just give up!" I said to him.

He glared at me, "You're not helping!"

Bella patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, we understand. You just aren't manly enough to admit you've been beaten by a girl."
Everyone was shocked that Bella would say such a thing. Emmett was the first one to recover.

"HAHAHAHA! You're great! I mean you are freaking the best! OH man Edward, not only did Rose kick your butt but now Bella…HAHAHA!" Emmett was grinning like a fool.

Rose high fived Bella. Edward picked up an empty bowl and muttered something about refilling it.

*CRASH*
Suddenly the room was showered in glass. There were some screams and I felt tiny little pieces of glass cut into my arms.

"Is everyone okay!?" Edward said running back into the room.

*CRASH*
The window on the other side of the room busted, causing glass to shoot at us again.

"Rose!" Emmett yelled.

"Bella!" Edward yelled.

The two boys ran over to the girls and checked them. And I felt a twinge of pain that they all have each other. As I looked around at all of them I noticed the rocks that were used to break the windows. Emmett turned to me and was looking me over.

"Are you okay!?" He asked in a serious tone.

I nodded my head. He gave me a nothing look over and then ran outside. Edward walked over to me holding on the rocks.

"There is something written on both of them." He said with a hard look.

Guess who came back to me last night?

I felt my entire body go numb as Edward slowly handed me the next rock.

HE'S MINE

I gave Edward back the rocks and walked outside. What I saw, well it was something I wish I wouldn't have. I walked out into the middle of the yard and looked around me. Emmett ran over to me the moment he saw me and engulfed me in a hug, as if to protect me from the sight. But it was too late, I had already seen it. There were a couple dozen of pictures of Jasper and Maria hanging all over each other scattered across the yard. The worst part was that they were all dated, from last night and early this morning. Jasper was even wearing the exact clothes from last night. Everything inside of me felt broken.

~000~

Bella called her dad, and Edward called his dad. Dr. Cullen checked half of us while Chief Swan had us the other half give our statements. Todd came over to make sure that neither Esme nor I's photos were taken during this whole situation. It seemed like the whole town came to see what was going on; these types of things don't happen very often in our quiet little town. It was a little embarrassing to see all these people staring at us; but luckily we had picked up all of the pictures before they got a chance to see them. We were all just having a fun and relaxing day, so we were all in shock that it had to end like this. Esme came home and cooked up a large dinner to feed everyone even the detectives that came over.

Emmett was worried (although both Doctor Cullen and Chief Swan said this most likely wouldn't happen) that they may try to come back tonight. Rosalie was too angry to go home and face Jasper and Emmett and Edward's were not letting me out of their sights. Chief Swan was a little hard to convince to let Bella stay, but Carlisle said that he would stay the night too and help Esme watch over us all. So everyone is staying at my house tonight. Us girls were all sleeping in my room and all of the boys were sleeping downstairs. After everyone had showered and eaten, we went to our rooms and tried to get some sleep; it had turned out to be an extremely stressful day.

Rose, Bella, and I took all the blankets and pillows from my room and created one massive bed on the floor. Although none of us would say it aloud, I think we were all to terrified to sleep apart. I ended up being in the middle of the two girls and we were all silent until it finally become too unbearable.

"Why did he do that?" I asked quietly.

It was the question that had been running through my mind. Maria's behavior didn't surprise me, but his did; and it hurt.

"I don't know." Rose chocked out angrily.

She sounded like she was crying, but it was too dark to see.

"You could also turn to Edward." Bella said quietly.

WHAT?!

Before I even had a chance to respond someone was whisper-yelling.

"WHAT THE HECK IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?" Rose spat.

I felt Bella shrug. "You too seem so close and he seems to always be there when you need him."
"That's what makes him a good friend." Rose retorted.

Bella thinks there is something going on between Edward and I?

"Come on, the two of them are always together, they go out for coffee and stuff. He was also the first one to worry about her not being home yet yesterday night and then he stayed out on the sidewalk with her and everything." Bella said, in a tight voice.

Rose didn't have anything to say to that. I can see Bella's point. I don't think neither Edward nor I thought of it that way. There is also the whole talent thing, and that brings us close, and he knows about my past. He knows all of the things I can't tell anyone else, so of course we are close; but it's nothing like what Bella is thinking!

"Bella…it's not like that. Were just really good friends. He is like my older brother." I said.

Bella was silent.

OH please, come on…I really need something that will make her believe me!

*Jake and Bella hug. "Jake you're my family! You're like the brother I never had!" Bella said happily. Jake smiled, "You're my little sis Bells!" Bella pulled back from the hug and gave Jake a mock glare. "I'm older than you! So you're my little brother, and that makes me the big sister!" Jake scoffed, "What no way! I am waaay more mature!"*

THANK YOU RANDOM VISIONS! I LOVE YOU!

"Edward and I are like you and Jake." I said quietly, crossing my fingers, and hoping she would understand.

"How do you know about Jake?" Bella asked immediately.

"Oh please, Edward freaks out about him all of the time!" Rose said in a slightly annoyed voice, "Then I hear Em complain about Edward's complaining."

Bella was quiet for a few moments, but then she let out a sigh. "Oh."

Rose laughed, "How strange that both of you were jealous of something that wasn't even true."

Bella laughed a little too, "Yeah."

Well I'm glad everyone else is happy and has their person. But it kind of makes me feel even more alone…STOP THAT ALICE! You should be happy for your friends, not having a pity party for yourself!

"So does this mean you two may finally get together?" I asked.

Bella squirmed around a bit before answering. I could imagine her cheeks turning scarlet.

"I don't know, maybe." She said a little giddy. "What about Emmett and Rose?" She asked in return.

Rose rolled over on her side so that her back was facing me. "Good night!" She said a little briskly, but you could hear the smile in her voice.

Bella and I giggled quietly, but with that the two of them eventually fell asleep.

I carefully got up and opened my door. I went and sat down on the stairs.

EDWARD IF YOU CAN HEAR ME THIS FAR AWAY, OR IF YOU ARE EVEN AWAKE, I REALLY NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

I leaned my head up against the wall and sighed, maybe he's already awake. I closed my eyes, trying to clear my mind. It was running ramped with thoughts and memories of all of those pictures that were on the lawn.

Suddenly I felt someone touch me. My eyes shot open to see Rosalie and not Edward sitting beside me.

"I'm really sorry about my brother." She said quietly.

I shrugged, "It's not your fault…but thank you."

Rose sniffled, "I know what it's like to…be disappointed and hurt by Jasper."

I looked over at her, but she was staring at her knees.

"This isn't who he really his deep down, it's who he turned into after something happened to me and it became worse when our father ditched us, but it reached an even more horrible level after his friend Peter's parents died." She took a deep breath before continuing. "A few years ago I was walking home alone, and there was a drunken teenage boy who saw me, well no he saw me as an opportunity." She said in a cold voice. "I didn't see the danger in him; I didn't know that these types of things could happen to me. I mean I knew about them, but I never thought that it would actually happen." She took another deep breath and then quickly spoke the next words. "He raped me, and then left me in the street. It took all I had to get home." She sniffled, "So when Jazz saw me like that, something snapped. Then after everything with our dad and then Peter, he just became angry. He said he wanted to protect us all, so he began fighting. Him and Peter joined a fight club and got a gym membership. He was always silently angry, but he tried to fool everyone with his calm exterior. He couldn't fool me; I mean I am his twin for goodness sakes." Rose shook her head and let out a quiet irritated chuckle, "He thought he was doing what was best, but he only made things worse. He never let anything go, and it made him bitter." Rose spoke the next words in disgust. "He met Maria at the fight club; she is like the cheerleader that cheers them all on." She took a deep breath, as if to calm herself, and it reminded me of Jasper. "Fighting was his life, and it was up until a few weeks ago. He started missing meetings and working out at the gym less, he seemed to have lightened up." Rose looked over at me and smiled, "I think it was you who did that to him." Rose laughed, in good humor this time, "I mean he was annoying Peter with his sunny attitude. It was strange, but refreshing. I was getting really worried about him; he was going to fight himself to death. But I think what happened was he found a reason to live. With all the bitter and ugly things that had happened to him, I think he fights to release his anger on the world; although in the beginning it did start out as a way to learn how to protect us, but that was before Maria. So when he met you, you who was this little bundle of happy, joyful, frolicking, annoyingly positive no matter how much I gave you crap at work, and loving girl, I think he began to realize that you were everything he will never be again; and everything that he wanted. You complete my brother, Mary."

I was speechless at her words. I complete him? So why did he turn around and do something like this?

"I can't tell you about Jenks that is something he needs to tell you some day; whether you end up together or not. And I can't explain, neither do I encourage his behavior in the past twenty four hours, but I think you need to know what he is really like. It was so unlike him to just leave you last night in the dark, by yourself. I was so surprised when I found out. But I think the reason was is because he thought that leaving you was better than him showing you the darkest side of him; and that's what Jenks is."

I was overwhelmed with information right now; I was trying to process everything she had told me.

"Has he stopped fighting?" I asked.

Rose hesitated, "Uh not exactly, and I think that is part of the problem. He has been fighting less, but hasn't completely stopped." then Rose chuckled, "That's why he never told you about his favorite game…he didn't want to talk about fighting around you. I think he wanted, and probably still does, want to change for you."

I scoffed, "Yeah and sucking face with Maria just proves that doesn't it." I said a little too bitterly.

"I agree. He'll regret it; if he doesn't already. And he won't be let off the hook so easily. He is going to get his rear end kicked by everybody." Then Rose put her arm around me.

She told me something, that I don't think very many people know…maybe I can tell her my secret.

"Thank you for telling me all of that." I said quietly.

Rose shrugged, "You're my friend, and I see you as family." She was quiet for a few minutes before continuing, "And I trust you." She said a little choked up.

"Well then I have something I want to tell you too." And I wish I could tell you more.

Rose was quiet while she waited for me to build the courage to speak.

Might as well just get it over with.

"I can see the future." I blurted out.

Rose jumped beside me, "WHAT?" She bellowed in an Emmett like manner.

"SSSHHHHH!" I whisper-yelled.

"You're joking right?!" She said quieter.

"…No."
She was wide eyed and jaw dropped.

Okay, come on visions…don't fail me now.

I scrunched my face trying to focus.

"What are you doing?" Rose asked me in a 'you're acting weird' voice.

"Hold on! I'll show you."
"Uuhh okay…" Rose said unsurely.

VISIONS, WHERE ARE YOU!? VISIONS, COME OUT COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE!

* "CHOCOLATE CHICKEN FINGERS? REALLY!" Emmett said sleepily. "NOOO GIVE THEM BACK!" *

The vision caused me to giggle, but I quickly covered my mouth.

"What?" Rose asked me curiously.

"Okay, hehe...oh man. You'll die of laughter here soon. Emmett's going to talk about chocolate chicken fingers and then yell that someone gives them back." I said quietly.

Rose looked doubtful, "Wh-" Rose was interrupted by Emmett's sleepy voice.

"CHOCOLATE CHICKEN FINGERS? REALLY!"

It was quiet for a few minutes and Rose looked like she had just seen a ghost.

"NOOO GIVE THEM BACK!"

There was a noise from down stairs. "Emmett get off of me and go to sleep! I didn't take any freaking chocolate chicken fingers!"

"You're lying!" Emmett said grumpily.

"What? What the heck Em! Get off!" Edward whisper yelled

There was a loud sound, and then we heard snoring.

There was nothing that could have stopped the giggles that erupted us two in that moment. We tried covering our mouths but the whole thing was just hilarious.

"What are you to laughing about?"

I opened my eyes to see Edward standing at the bottom of the stairs. He climbed up the stairs to us.

"Em always does that. It's crazy and annoying." Edward said annoyed.

"HAHA I told you Rose!"

Rose shook her head, "Look I thought you just pulling my leg at first, but that…that was completely unpredictable!"

Edward's jaw dropped. "You told her?" He asked surprised.

I nodded my head, "Yeah, we were having a bonding moment."

Edward looked at Rose, "Of course I knew! She and I are like best friends! And of course I am surprised that she told you! It's the exact reason you're surprised."

Rose's jaw dropped, "Excuse me?"

Edward just smirked. "Yeah, scary isn't it."

Rose looked like she was about to faint. "How did you know what I was thinking?" She asked faintly.

Edward laughed, "Just like Mary can see the future."

Rose was quiet for a few minutes as she took in all of this. But then she suddenly grinned evilly.

"UGH! GOSH WHY!?" Edward complained quietly.

"What?" Now I feel out of the loop.

"You don't want to be in this loop!" Edward said in a disgusted voice, "Did she tell you that she and Emmett made out yesterday? Ugh gross Rose! I NEVER wanted to know any of that about Emmett!" Edward covered his eyes, like it would help erase the images in his head.

"WHAT?! Is that why you didn't say thing about him earlier?" I asked, incredulous.

Rose's face flushed a little, "Yeeaahhh." She was grinning wildly.

"You so have to tell me all about that!" I squealed quietly.

Edward held his hands up, "Ugh please wait until I'm asleep!"

"Fine." Rose said quietly.

Edward started to walk down the stairs, but then half way down he stopped.

"Uh Mary, Rose…I, I, uh, I think there is someone outside." He whispered.
Rose and I exchanged looks and then walked down stairs with him.

"Let's go out the back door so we don't wake any one up, in case it's nothing." I suggested.

They both nodded and we headed towards the kitchen. We quietly crept the back door open and walked outside. As we walked around the back of the house we heard two people talking.

"Jasper it is too late to be here!" Someone said briskly.

"Shut up Pete, look I have to do this!" Jasper said harshly.

At Jasper's voice, Edward started to walk towards them, but Rose and I held him back.

I want to hear this Edward…please!

Edward stayed still, but was very tense.

"She isn't going to want anything to do with you! You heard what Maria did." I'm assuming it was Peter who said this.

"I have to try!" Jasper choked out, "You don't understand what she means to me!"
Peter laughed, "Yeah, I think I do…but Jazz, Maria still has the recording of your talking about Mary when you were drunk. You know as well as I do that if she ever heard that she would never even look at you. Not to mention the fact that Rosalie will kill you when she finds out."

"You know that is out of context!" Jasper said roughly.

"Yeah but it doesn't sound like it is! I wouldn't believe you if I hadn't of been there Jazz!" Peter said just as roughly.

"Maybe I just don't have to tell her!" Jasper blurted out.

"Not tell Mary?" Peter sounded surprised.

"Yeah, why does she have to know?" Jasper asked.

"Well it probably wouldn't make a difference; you've already kept a thousand things from her, what's one thing more!" Peter spat.

Jasper didn't say anything.

"You're ruining everything with this girl…" Peter said quietly, "And I don't think I can stand by your side while you break this girl's and your own heart."

From that moment on I knew this whole thing was wrong. Spying on people, talking behind their backs, hiding things from them; maybe we weren't truly friends. Maybe we really didn't know anything about each other, maybe Rosalie was wrong, and maybe my visions were wrong. Just maybe all of this was wrong.

A/N Yeah, this chapter kind of makes me sad...but bear with me! (: And here is a preview of the next chapter!

Chapter 10, Bella's Blues, Rose's Revenge, Edward's Emotions, and Emmett's Enlist.

I grabbed the jug of apple juice out of the fridge and a bag of Fritos from the pantry. There are just so many things a girl can take, and this, this is too much. But at least I know I am not the only one with problems. And with that I opend my apple juice and my Fritos and I did what every girl considerds a sin but it's something we all do, I partook in feeding my emotions until there wasn't a drop of juice or a crumb of Fritos left...and it felt good.

~000~

Bella slapped Edward across the face, "Well I hope you are happy!"

~000~

Rose threw the basket at, "WHAT!?"

~000~

Emmett put down the letter, a mixture of excitement and pride crossed his face.

~000~

Edward was playing his piano, swaying to the music. His eye's were shut and he looked completely closed off to the world.
