Well, I was supposed to post this tommorow, but I'm feeling happy for my birthday! Thanks to the reviews for the last chapter!

I do not own Twilight, I far too normal (or weird, depends on how you look at it...) to own it. It all belongs to Stephenie Meyer.

I dropped my phone, and fell to my knees. This couldn't be happening. It just couldn't.

Was it really all just an act?

I was waiting for the day you'd come around
I was chasing, but nothing was all I found
From the moment you came into my life
You showed me what's right

And it feels like tonight
I can't believe I'm broken inside
Can't you see that there's nothing that I wanna do
But try to make it up to you
And it feels like tonight

Feels Like Tonight

Edward Cullen (I give up, this won't center for me!)

''Can you hurry it up so we could go already!'' I yelled in the general direction of the house. I was getting annoyed with just how much time woman needed to get ready. Rosalie had been in the bathroom, for God know how long, she was there when Jasper and I woke up at seven o'clock, and she was there right now.

She didn't even come down for breakfast; instead Esme brought her a plate of food for her to eat in her bathroom. When I voiced just how disgusting that was, really eating in the bathroom, Carlisle had just shrugged and murmured ''woman.'' I couldn't agree more with him more.

At the moment, Jasper and I were outside by my car, just waiting until Rosalie decided to grace us with her presence. To be truthful, it wasn't that I had a hurry to get us to the mall. The farthest thing really, I really didn't want to go to the mall at all, but Alice had given us no other choice. She even went as far as threatening the guys and me about showing up or loosing our cars mysteriously.

So I had no other choice then to show up, but I would have gone even if she had not threatened to end my Volvo simply because Bella was going to be there. And if I got to spend a couple hours with her, holding bags and purses didn't seem too bad.

I was really curious also about what she thought about the gift I had given her last night before I bolted out the door. I was planning on given it to her today, but at the last moment, I decided against it. Instead choosing to take the easy way out and leaving no choice for her, but to take it.

And seeing Bella at the front door, present in hand, and glaring at me as I raced down the driveway, was hilarious.

I had actually planned for us to just spend the day by ourselves today, just Bella and I together spending peaceful time together, but Alice ruined that possibility when she had insisted with us being present at the mall today. The day I had planed for Bella and I was simple, spend time at the park or the meadow, or check out a library she was dying to visit, and then I would bring her to my house, so I could play the melody I had composed for her.

It would have been a day just for the two of us, we could spend the day together, but alas apparently it wasn't going to happen. Instead I would be forced to spend the day at the mall with nothing to do. I already had everything I needed so I wasn't in a need for anything for the event that my family was attending.

''Dude, how much longer do you think she'll be in there?'' Jasper asked. I was about to reply, but before I could Rosalie finally graced us with her presence.

''I'm here, I'm here! Let's go already.''

I rolled my eyes, but didn't argue as I climbed into the driver's seat. The ride to the mall was quite, and I often found myself wondering if the car ride in Emmett's car was as well. Alec had decided he wanted to attend to the mall shopping trip, and everybody was too surprised to argue. I didn't exactly look forward to spending an entire day with him in a crowded mall.

''So, Edward are you buying anything?'' Jasper asked as he drummed his fingers at the tempo of the music playing in the background.

''No, Alice just made it clear that she wanted us to go,'' I replied with a shrug. Jasper nodded.

''Same with me.''

Rosalie surprisingly didn't make any noise or comment, but after a while her phone ringed and she spent practically the whole ride there talking to Emmett.

When we finally arrived at the mall, a little earlier than we had expected to, we found that the others hadn't arrived yet. Jasper calmly sat sideways in the passenger seat with the door open. But Rosalie didn't seem to stop complaining that if we hadn't rushed her this much, we would have gotten here later on time and she would have had more time to get ready.

When they finally arrived, I was ready to go buy ear plugs just so I didn't have to hear Rosalie complaining, which amused Jasper to no end. I looked towards Emmett car and noticed as Alice, Alec and Jane made their way out of the back seat. As soon as Emmett exited the car, I threw him a look that clearly said where is she? To which he quickly pointed to the passenger seat and I nodded.

I made my way to the passenger door of the car and noticed Bella just sitting there, not really looking at anything. I stood by the window, but she never noticed my presence, so I opened the door and whispered in her ear.

''Something wrong?''

She jumped and I wanted to apologize for startling her, but as I was about to get the words out she turned to me with such a beautiful smile grazing her face, that it left me speechless. She truly is beautiful.

''Sorry, I was lost in my own little world,'' she admitted, a blush lighting her cheeks.

''So it seems,'' I quickly agreed, happy to have my voice back. ''You know, you tend to do that quite a lot,'' I observed, remembering the time I had to come after her that day we went to the gym.

I helped her out of the car and we followed the others inside, holding hands.

''I told you I didn't need anything,'' I reminded Jasper and Emmett, as once again they tried to get me to buy something.

Currently, the girls were shopping for dresses somewhere, while we had to find something to do. Alec had disappeared somewhere while we were arguing about buying new shoes, and he hasn't reappeared yet. Hopefully, he wouldn't.

''Well, then what are you going to do?'' Emmett asked as he put the dress shirt back on the rack.

I shrugged. ''I'm going to walk around, I think.''

''Okay, so you're going to walk around...hopping to find Bella in the process,'' Jasper smirked.

I shrugged once again, but nobody could take away the goofy smile that formed on my face. Yes, I was hopping to find Bella while I 'walked' around, but I wasn't going to look for her exactly. If she spotted me, then I was safe from Alice and her promise that if we interrupted their girl time, we were going to get it later.

I was walking around aimlessly, just looking for a store that had a lot of dresses, so I could just walk in front of it. I looked around trying to spot the right store. I remembered Alice talking about it, but they didn't mention where it was located. So, I kept walking and hopped that the store will appear soon enough.

I spotted some stores, but none of them seemed to have dresses, or at least not a large supply of them. The girls had mentioned a pretty big store with dresses, and I couldn't find the store. I kept walking around and around, getting a little annoyed at the fact that I didn't really know the stores in the mall were located.

Out of all the times Rosalie had forced me or Jasper to come to the mall with her, we always went to the Mac store to play around with their new products, or went to the arcade. I walked for a couple of minutes, until I gave up and decided to ask someone for directions. A girl at it, I decided after a moment of thought.

I looked at the girls that were about my age or older woman but almost all of them were either with a group of friends, with boyfriends or looked like total sluts.

''Looking for someone?'' an unfamiliar voice asked. I turned around to find a tall blond looking at me with a raised eyebrow.

I shrugged, for some reason wanting to get away as soon as possible. As I looked around, I finally noticed the boutique of dresses that had to be the place the girls were in. I think I actually spotted a recognizable blond hair.

''No, thanks,'' I said trying to walk away, but she grabbed my arm and turned me around to face her. The look in her eyes made me a little anxious to get away, but she was still grabbing my arm.

''My name is Tanya, what's your name, handsome,'' she said as she trailed her arm up to my shoulder and down, grasping my hand in her own. I shaked it off and I began to feel a little uncomfortable, but I was raised with manners.

''My name is Edward, and I need to go.''

''Why don't you stay with me a little bit,'' she suggested, placing her hand on my shoulder, and I shook it off.

''Really, I need to go. My girlfriend is probably looking for me,'' I told her, making it clear that I wasn't available just to get any idea out of her mind.

''Well, if your girlfriend was smart, then she wouldn't have left you out of your sight,'' she smirked and then winked.

I was getting impatient. Okay, that was an understatement, if she didn't let me go I was going to…

The mental threat trailed off, unfinished. ''I'm sorry, but I should really go.''

Tanya came closer, her body pressing against mine. Before I could register what was happening, lips were against mine, and it took me a bit to register the fact. When I finally came to my senses, I grabbed her hips to get her away from me.

This is wrong. This is disgusting. You have a girlfriend who you adore and love.

I pulled her away from me and just turned around, and I froze.

Bella was walking my way, her nose was red along with her eyes, and her beautiful brown eyes that I loved gazing into were puffy. I wanted to defend myself, I wanted to tell her that this was a big misunderstanding, but wasn't that what everybody said to their girlfriends after they cheated on them?

Except this is different, you didn't cheat on her! My mind screamed at me, and I just stood there, dumbstruck. Her hands were in fists and she looked as if she wanted to hit me, and I knew if she did, I wouldn't stop her. Stop thinking like that! You did nothing wrong!

After what felt like an eternity, she ran away and when I looked towards her, I saw her going towards the exit.

''Bella!'' I called after her, instead of just standing there. I ran after her and was about to exit the mall, with people looking at me accusingly, I felt a hand on my shoulder.

''Leave her alone. You deserve someone who is better than her,'' Tanya said, but I couldn't answer. I looked behind me and noticed Rosalie, Jane, and Alice standing by a smirking Alec.

I couldn't help the tears that ran down my face as I replayed the last minutes in my mind. How could this happen to me?

In a matter of minutes, I had lost everything, my world. Now she was gone, and I couldn't help but feel the emptiness inside me.

I love you, Bella. I swear I'll fix this.

There you go! See, I told ya to have a little faith in Edward! Now I gotta say, who saw this coming! Please review!
