a/n; sorry its late. I had a killer assingment I needed to get finished. All done!

Across the Hall

Do I answer it?

I sit up in bed and hear someone bang the door again.

No. I'm not answering it. They're drunk. It will be Emmett. It always is.

I like Emmett, but he can be a little too loud at times. It's not a bad thing. Just not something I want to put up with at one in the morning.

I lay back down and heard the door bang again.

They don't know that I'm in here. It's not like I sit in every Friday night so they wont be surprised if I don't get an answer.

Besides, I'm sober and they are, no doubt, three waisted guys, looking for carry on. Well, least Emmett will be. Jasper is a little more sedate. And so is Edward.

Emmett is Edwards cousin. He's married to some painfully attractive blonde who goes by the name Rosalie. I don't talk much to her. She's friends, with what I can tell, with Tanya. Tanya was never my biggest fan and I don't know why, really. Jasper on the other hand is the quiet one who went to school with Edward and is engaged to Alice. Alice strangely enough used to go to school with me back in Forks and it was purely coincidence that we had met one another through Jasper and Edward again over the past year. She hates Tanya and avoids the place like the plague. Well except now she comes to visit me when Jasper visits Edward.

It's good to catch up with Alice after not hearing from one another all those years. It wasn't that we weren't friends, we just didn't go around in the same circles. She was my lab partner in biology and we had always go along and even did the odd thing together. We simply weren't joined a the hip though.

So Alice visited me and we had somehow became a little closer than how we had been back in high school. Our friendship had yet to go beyond a cup of coffee though, despite her telling me everything in its gory detail.

The banging on the door stopped and I pulled the covers up over me once again, settling in for tonight.

I could still hear them through the walls. Nothing more than mumbles with the music mottling their voices, thought.

I hadn't saw any more of Edward or the motley crew for the rest of the weekend.

Edward and I often passed one another in the hall on our way to work but I never saw him when I left. Nothing in the hallway at night either. Nothing. It was unusual because I would usually be home before he was and would hear him coming home.

What?

I said we had thin walls.

I wasn't lying. It's one of those typical neighbourly things that you notice.

Besides, I was concerned about his well being. He had only got himself out of a long term relationship a few days ago. I was only praying he didn't try to off himself.

Not that I think he would. It was him who ended the relationship.

But what if he was depressed?

Na, I bet he's glad he got rid of her. All perfect hair and clothes. Gorgeous, tall, ass like a model. Yep. I bet he's glad to be through with her.

Letting the thought go, I shook my head. It wasn't as if I was his baby sitter.

I'll see him soon enough.

I'm sure.

Please let me know what you think!
