A/N: Don't hate me! I'm still alive. I promise. Just a bit busy as of right now. Here's an update though :0

PSSSS: I swear I tried to update like... two weeks ago? The website wouldn't let me update -sadface-

Chapter 4

"I can't believe you actually rented this Alice." I coughed out nearly rolling on the floor with laughter… literally. She laughed herself as Jasper put his face in his palm. His cheeks burned bright red with embarrassment.

"Hey now! Ryan said it was hilarious. How did I know it was going to be about some girl with teeth in her vagina!" Alice paused the DVD and focused her attention on the couch where Jake and I had decided to sit.

We'd started the evening with a semi-scary movie, and had one more left after this ridiculous movie "Teeth" was over. Jake's arm was resting around my shoulders and I had to admit it felt nice to cuddle against his warmth.

Alice glanced at her watch. "It's nearly midnight." She said passively disentangling herself from Jasper. She danced over to the fridge and felt around until she found an energy drink. Taking a large gulp, she pranced back over to Jasper and lightly sat down on his lap.

"So what now?" I asked yawning.

Just then, as if on cue, the front door clicked open and we all turned to watch as Edward tried to sneak into the house. His amber eyes flashed in the light as his eyes fell upon us. He could hardly wipe the grin off his face before a comment came out of Jake.

"Oooooh. Looks like someone got lucky." He winked over dramatically causing me to turn my eyes from his gaze.

Edward just chuckled softly and slipped off his shoes. Silent as a panther, he ascended the steps by twos. Alice hit play on the movie and once again we busted out in laughter at the ridiculous movie before us.

Edward reappeared a bit later and took a seat on the couch next to me. He, unlike Jake, sat as far away from me as possible. At first I thought about checking to see if I smelled. Remembering Alice's comment from earlier, I decided not to worry about it.

Around the time they started screaming in the second movie, I felt my eyes grow heavier. Letting sleep get the best of me, I laid my head on Jake's shoulder and drifted off to sleep.

"Edward, what's up with you lately?" I could faintly hear the undertone of worry in Alice's voice. The sound of their conversation roused me. I felt the heat of Jake's body under my head and peeping through my eyes, I looked up at his sleeping face.

"What are you talking about?" Edward replied in an unworried tone.

"I don't know." She said obviously frustrated. "It just seems as though… I mean. Tanya? Since when do you like girls like Tanya?" Alice had ah ate for Tanya to say the least.

"I don't-" Alice cut Edward off.

"And how come you're so awkward around Bella? I mean really. She's been practically growing up in this house since second grade." This comment surprised me to say the least. I thought I was the one awkward around him. Not the opposite.

When he laughed like a dying hyena, it actually stung a bit. He caught his breath and barely pushed out the words.

"Bella? You mean Bella Swan? The girl who trips over air? The one who got bubble gum stuck in her hair freshmen year and had to cut most of it off? Yeah. Sorry to tell you little sis, but no."

I chewed on my lip anxiously waiting for Alice's always amazing comebacks.

"Yes. That Bella Swan. The girl you told me you were going to marry when she was in 4th grade and you were in 5th? The girl who is now completely gorgeous but totally off limits because not only would she never go out with you but that your best friend has had his eye on for the past three months? Yeah. That Bella Swan."

I laid completely still. Edward found me attractive? Impossible. Alice, however, had an uncanny sense of knowing things even when they weren't told to her. She had some sixth sense or something. It was weird.

I sat up not wanting to hear any more of their conversation. Jake didn't stir so I stretched silently glancing at the clock under the TV. It was a bit past four in the morning. I'm sure my hair looked amazing. Suddenly self-conscious, I crept to the door and opened it slipping into the conversation between brother and sister.

"Oh, sorry Bella. Did we wake you?" Alice looked from Edward to me.

"Oh, um no. I just have to use the bathroom." I didn't make eye contact with either one of them as I pushed past them feeling down the hall to the bathroom.

As I slipped into the bathroom I heard the game room door close leaving Edward in the hall alone. As I examined myself in the mirror, I ran my hands over the abnormally intensified bags under my eyes. I need to get more sleep this summer. Sophomore year had been tough on me. I splashed some cold water on my face and brushed my hair before slipping back into the pitch black hallway. I flipped off the lights and ran into a tall, warm body. I gasped and jumped back seeing the outline of Edward's well-defined face.

"Sorry Swan." Edward apologized steadying me with a hand on my elbow.

"It's okay." I said softly shrinking away from his touch.

He stepped closer to me causing me to step back against the wall. He flashed a grin at me and leaned his head closer to my ear. My breath caught and I couldn't seem to exhale as he moved closer to me.

"Just as I suspected." She laughed backing away from me. "You're the one awkward around me."

"God Edward." I shoved his shoulder storming past him. "You're such a jerk. Go screw Tanya Denali!" I said angered by his jeers.

"Been there done that." He yelled back.

The game room door flung open and Jake stood at the door wild-eyed. He glanced at the obvious anger on my face and then caught a glimpse of Edward as he retreated upstairs and into his room.

"What was that about?" He said obviously confused by the ruckus.

"Just Edward being a jerk." I explained yawning again.

"Oh, nice." He settled on the couch pulling me down next to him. He flipped on a re-run of "That 70's Show" and I fell asleep to the sounds of other teen's drama.

A/N: Super de duper short I know! Don't kill me. This chapter is crap I know. I really wanted to write something though so here you go. Don't kill me. Don't know when I'll be able to update honestly. Hope you like it. If not tell me please and thank you!
