BPOV

As I slept the flashback of the party played in my head. It was like he was right here besides me. I can still feel the warmth of his touch, I could smell his sweet scent, like he was somewhere near me and could see his green eyes smoldering into mine. I smiled at those dreams. That's when my imagination went wild and I started dreaming about him.

I was in some kind of a park, in the middle of which was a dancing arena. I looked around to identify the place, but could not understand. I felt the wind swipe through me, and felt its chill. That's the first time I noticed what I was wearing. I was wearing a white tube top which went black all the way down along with a pair of black slacks and ballet flats. Wow. I am definitely sure Alice would have dressed me up; I can't say the same of my shoes though. I was quite surprised to find myself alone. So I started looking around, finding someone I knew. Suddenly a hand came on my waist and twisted me around, I lost my balance and almost fell but something gripped my elbow and set me back on my feet. I looked up only to find a pair of green eyes looking down at me, amused.

Edward.

"You look beautiful, Bella." He said slightly leaning towards me. He placed his hands on my bare shoulders, raising goose bumps on it. He slowly started moving it up all the way to collarbone, then to my jaw. Finally he stopped at my cheekbone. I froze on the account of what just happened. He chuckled. Then leaned forward and whispered in my ear "I love you, Bella." Just that one sentence was enough to send jolts of electric current through my body. He leaned back and looked into my eyes. I saw a spark of lust in them, could this really be. Or am I dreaming. He started leaning forward my lips; I leaned forward too, hungry for the kiss. Our mouths where just inched apart...

The ringing sound of my stupid phone woke me up. Damn. Not again. I was just about to kiss him. This is the second time we have been interrupted. First Alec and now this stupid phone. But if logically speaking then this time would not be counted since this was just a dream. Hell! I am sounding like an obsessed girl. Obsessed? Me? Sheesh!

I started climbing down the bed just then the phone started ringing again, the sudden noise startled me and I fell. It took me a minute to realize what just happened. I quickly got up and reached towards the phone, but too late. The phone had stopped ringing. I checked for who had called me this early in the morning.

Alice. 25 missed calls. I am so Dead.

I quickly punched in her number and got ready to face the music. She picked up at the second ring.

"BELLA!" She shouted form the other end. It was unexpected so I stumbled and again fell down, again, in the process of which managed to throw the phone across the room like it was some bomb. I landed flat on the floor. Mom would have probably heard the noises coming as she was at my door in a few minutes.

"Bella! Honey, are you alright?" Mom knocked on my door, concern dripping her voice.

"Yeah, I think so." I replied as I started to get up. She opened the door and saw me sprawled on the floor. She quickly ran to my side and helped me get up. "Thanks mom." I said. I started to walk towards the toilet, but my tor caught the rug and I fell again.

"Bella! Oh my! "She exclaimed. She was by my side before I could even get up. "Bella! Are you alright?" Again, her words where laced with concern.

"I think I am still woozy." I whispered.

"What am I going to do with you?" she said as she helped me to my bed, and then quickly went downstairs. After a few minutes she returned with a thermometer, some painkillers and a glass of water. I had never seen my mom like this. First she gave me the glass of water which I quickly drained. Then took my temperature, I think it was normal because she relaxed with whatever reading it gave.

"Bella, who do you feel?" She asked, rummaging through the painkillers.

"I am fine mom. It was just Alice." I grimaced thinking of her. Then I remembered about my phone. My gaze darted around my room; suddenly I found my phone in two pieces. Oh man! Is it broken? Mom looked at me, puzzled. Then her gaze followed mine and she saw the phone. She laughed, understanding what would have happened. She went across the room and picked up the phone, studied it carefully. Then she looked at me.

"Don't worry, Bella. It's not broken, only its back cover came out." She picked its cover and put it back in its place, pressed a few buttons and the screen came to life. "There, see" She handed me the phone. I looked at it, and then smiled. "How was the party last night?" She suddenly asked.

"It was nice, good actually. Alice and Rose really did a good job." I smiled at the memories of last night. Mom saw the glitter in my eyes with the mention of last night.

"So how did it go between Edward and you?" I froze. How did she know about that? I was sure that I had told Alice and Rose about this, but how come mom know about it. And there was no way Alice and Rosalie would have told mom about it.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Edward and I are just friends." I said casually, but put emphasis on the word 'friends'.

"Come on, Bella. Don't play games with me. I am your mother." Her tone told me that she wasn't buying it.

"How did you know about it?" I started with the safest question.

"Oh, Bella. How could I not? It's written all over your face. Whenever you see him you turn red, you seem distant lost in your very own world. You stutter in front of him, and I also know that you can't think straight when he is around you. Am I wrong?" Oh my god! She was absolutely right. My expression would have turned from shock to grimace, which helped mom know that her point was right. "I don't think so." She said in a teasing tone. I quickly got up and started to make my way towards the bathroom. Truth to be told, I just wanted to escape this conversation. "Wait a minute, Bella?" Mom called behind me, I stopped. "Why are you running away from me? I just want to talk to you honey." She said in a motherly tone, a tone I have never heard her use.

"Um, mom, I am not running away I am just..." I trailed away, thinking for an excuse.

"Bella, how many times I have told you that you are a bad liar. "Like I haven't heard that before. "Bells, we have to talk about it sooner or later. And I am quite sure that you do not want to talk about this in front of Charlie. Do you?" Oh no! No way am I talking about this with dad. Damn. She was emotionally blackmailing me.

"Ok. So what do you want to know?" I asked as I went back to sit on the bed. Defeated.

"You love Edward?" Gee, she was asking blunt question. But the sooner it is over, the better it is.

"Yes." I replied, saying the truth. Since she would catch my lie.

"Does he love you back?"

"I don't know." She processed this before asking further.

"So what do you plan for further ahead?"

"What does that mean?" I asked, confused.

"Bella, honey. I don't know how to tell you this but let's just face it, what if he likes someone else? What would you do then?" That left me stunned. I was too numb to answer. She was right; he has not said anything to me about this. But the other day he was just about to kiss me...

"Mom, I..." I started to cut off my mom, because I did not want to tell her about the almost kiss condition. But she interrupted me.

"Bella I want to tell you something. Something no one knows about except Charlie and your late grandmother. "I nodded for her to continue. "When I was your age, I too fell for a guy." Now I was puzzled because I know that mom fell for dad in collage but why was she telling me this? "He was, just like Edward, a smart, intelligent and handsome boy. I fell in love with him just the moment I saw him. I know this how happened with you, I saw you the day we invited them for dinner."Mom is super observant. I never thought that my mom of all people will notice that. "Bella, the point is that I fell for him. I became his best friend; I thought that it was love. On this assumption I looked forward to marry him. I was slightly older than you, but for me it was more than a crush. I did everything I could to please him. But then one day..." She trailed off, looking like she was in another time.

What I never thought is what I am doing right now. I am telling Bella my past. My horrid past. I never wanted to but when I saw her with Edward I just knew I had to. I had to save her from what I went through all these years ago. It was like I was reliving those days. Even if it were just my words that were visible to my daughter but there was a dreadful memory replaying in my head at the same time. A memory that I had swore off, something that I had resolved to forget. But like it is said, the more you try to avoid something the more it comes biting back on you. There is so much common with our situations. The first time I saw Bella looking at Edward I was instantly reminded of myself, how I too went through that stage. Heartbreak was the worse, but thankfully I was not alone. I had Charlie with me. He was like an angel to me, saving the dying from death. I must have done good deed in the past life to have a life partner like him. But my poor Bells are all alone. She does not have anyone to support her. I mean she has her friends but they can just support her from the outside but what goes inside is the real thing. I thought that she might get over it but last night was like a bucket of cold water being thrown on me. When they were just about to kiss I sent Alec just in time to stop it. It was not I don't want it to happen, but I just don't want Edward to say that he regretted it later. Those words would just burn down my sweet Bella and I know that she would never be able to recover from it. Just the thought of my daughter made me sob and cry harder. Bella pulled me into a hug thinking that it was the story that was affecting me but little did she know it was a mother's fear of losing her daughter that made me so weak and vulnerable.

She had started crying by now. I have never seen mom like this, so helpless, so vulnerable.

"Mom, are you alright?" I asked concerned. I pulled her into a hug. She started sobbing on my shoulder. "Mom, it's alright." I said soothing her, gently rubbing her back. She looked up after a while. Her beautiful face was tear-stained. She sat up, wiped her tears and looked back at me.

"I am sorry Bella; you should not have seen it. I did not mean to cry like that in front of you." Her voice broke at the last word.

"Its ok mom, are you alright?"

"Yes now I am. This is a piece of my life that I have never told anybody. But I am relieved that I can share it with you." I smiled, she trusted me. "So where was I, right? One day he came across the campus with a bouquet of flowers - red roses. I thought that they were for me, my heartbeat sped. I thought that he was going to propose me. My feelings got stronger when I saw him approaching me. Then he stopped in front of me, I was waiting for him to kneel down and propose to me. But instead he stood there and asked me "So what do you think, will Lil like these?" I could not believe my ears at first. But then when I looked in his eyes, I did not see love but instead I saw a friendly glint. I could not control my emotions surging through me so I ran away. After that day I never saw him again. A few days after that incident was our graduation, that very day he proposed to her and she agreed. It all happened in front of my eyes. I broke down right there and then and ran out of there for being away from him from everyone it was almost night when I heard someone approaching. The person found me crying. That person came soothed me and held me while I cried, I did not even bother to look up but instead I just cried and he just held me through the night. That person was your dad." By this moment I was shocked. Was mom not in love with dad from the starting? And who was this other guy? But as if she read my mind she started answering my entire unspoken question. "I know, I was blind but I was so much love with him that I never noticed Charlie but that day Charlie supported me and got me home safely. For a few months I was a zombie, but Charlie was the one who took me out of that phrase. After two years from that night Charlie proposed to me and I said yes. Since then I have been happily married to the man who loves me." When she finished the story there were tears in her eyes, but I knew that this time these where happy tears. I was really glad and happy for mom, but a part of me was crying out loud. Even if we were just friends, still I am completely addicted to Edward and cannot think of a life without him. I didn't realize that I was crying too until mom wiped the tears from my face and said "Don't worry, Bella. I am not sure that whatever is between you and Edward is like my past, but I only told you my past to warn you that do not get addicted to someone in such a way that when it is time to separate it becomes impossible and tear you apart." She just said that and left my room.

I thought about it for a long time, What if mom is right?

Can it happen to me too?

But the way Edward and I are, is it possible?

There was one thought that struck me like lightning

Will the history repeat itself?
