BPOV

We had decided to stay on the beach for a while, which turned out to be pretty fun, making sandcastles and chatting like good friends. Alice wanted to check out the water sports further down the beach so I went with her, eager to have a sister to sister talk.

"Alice? Can I ask you something?"

"If Its about you and Edward, yes." I laughed at her. How could she guess?

"Well then, do you think everything is a bit too, fast? We just met today and have already kissed! Like, I mean, isn't that toooo forward?"

"Honey, did you want him to kiss you?"

"Well...yes and no. My head screaming 'Nahuel' at me-"

"-Forget Nahuel. This is Edward, a totally different person. You can't let Nahuel mess with your head, Bella!" Alice looked at me angrily. After the Italy holiday, I may have been tough with Alice. Not intentionally, of course, but she felt my pain too, watching me grieve.

I bounced that thought around in my head for a while, while Alice asked the nice Turkish man what sports were here. I think he was trying to flirt with her. A Turkish man who was at least 35, flirting with a 16 old girl with her twin sister next to her, in public. It could have been worse...

"So, are you saying, dear sister, that you think I should make the next move?"

"Yes"

"And how big should this move be?"

She turned to face me." I'm not telling you how to lead your love life. Just don't go backwards, okay?"

I had no idea what she meant, but Alice meant well. I hugged her and we walked back to the group. i was still uncertain about going through the same stuff as I had with Nahuel, but I was half-prepared to let it go. It took a year to feel that way. But wait? Did that mean he was was my rebound? I needed to talk to Alice again! But she had already sat down and was in Jazz's arms! I wonder if Jess and Angela have met anyone new. I mean, Angela isn't really looking for someone new, seeing as she has someone back home, but Jess...! Does Jess like anyone in our group? Em? Jazz? EDWARD? Please please no! I gave Alice my best pleading face, and she unwillingly got up and out of Jazz's arms with a groan. I walked into a free space and asked the first question on my mind.

"Rebound? No way. if this is what you came here to talk about, then forget it." She turned back around to go back, but then gave me a final glance " And my answer is no, providing that you aren't using him for any reason, such as a broken heart or to take out some lust or anger on him..." i shook my head. Alice smiled and stepped back.

"WAIT!" I called her back, then whispered in case anyone could hear me, " has Jess, to you, been acting weirdly?"

Alice looked like she were in deep thought. "Not that I have noticed...maybe a little quiet, but she may feel a bit left out, as we kind of knew each other earlier..."

"Ang seems fine with them" I said, overlooking them casually, careful not to point any fingers. Angela was chatting to all of them, making a joke which they all laughed at. Jess obviously fake laughed, and I frowned.

"Hey Alice, move a bit so you can see them, then check out Jess especially."

We did a little shuffle, casually enough, and Alice pretended to listen to me move my mouth and hands lightly, trying to make it look convincingly enough, but I saw her eye up the group behind me. She seemed to have enough and looked me in the eye, careful not to make any large facial movements.

"What are you doing? We never usually did the mouth and hand thing, only in primary school. And... I think Jess may be acting a little odd, but that doesn't mean- OHMI- goshh" Alice tried to hide her shock. She then whispered to me " I just saw Jess do that thing, you know? The boob thing! At my Jazz! Oh she would NOT!-"

"Woah! Rewind?" Alice looked angry.

"And bros before hoes? Jess is TRYING to get with MY GUY! I can't let her do that!" I had to hold her shoulder for her to calm down. She then looked directly at Jess and looked confused. Then her face went happy again.

"False alarm! She was stretching!" She beamed, obviously glad 'her Jazz' was still off limits to anyone but her. I rolled my eyes. I didn't understand WHAT she saw, but we went back to the group, Me to Edward and Alice back to Jazz.

"What was that all about?" Edward whispered in my ear.

"Don't worry about it." I responded lightly. He didn't look convinced so I gave his hand a squeeze.

The day went by quickly after that, I saw no signs that Jess was taking a liking to any of us, and Edward and my relationship remained level. We went up to the hotel to grab the camera and took some great photos of us lot, due to the VERY expensive camera that makes us look good with pale skin. Airbrushing really helps when the camera does it for you! When I get home, I'm going to upload them to my page and tag everyone in them. I can't say that I'm not showing off with knowing people like them, but my they are gorgeous. Back home, I can't see anyone decent at all, and when I come here, I find a beautiful statue. A fine creation, I'd say. Alice will say that for Jazz, as well. We introduced ourselves to some fellow holiday foreigners, who seemed friendly enough, then when it got late, we all parted ways and headed for our rooms to get ready for dinner at the international restaurant. We already had our outfits planned, so all we needed to do was shower and get made up. We had half an hour before needing to meet up with the rest of us, so we had a girly chat. I wanted to sneak into the conversation about Jess and anyone she liked, as I felt that I didn't trust her to not go after mine and Alice's guys. Back home, she had many boyfriends and although she denied that anything went on with any of them, we all knew better. If we hadn't been so close, we would call her a slut. But we are close, so we don't, as that's what great friends are for- ignoring your flaws and appreciate the rest of you.

"So, are you and Edward, a thing?" Jess asked. Well, that was close enough to get her off my back. I felt myself blush and I looked down. Angela giggled.

"Well, what can I say? I think so, but I need to give it a few days..." Jess looked still eager, like a reporter, so I added "I REALLY like him."

Jess moved on to Alice, who replied with the same, as well as, "He gave me a peck on the cheek when we said bye! He's so sweet!" Alice gushed. I felt so proud of my sister!

"Nawwh!" we all replied, excited for her. Jess looked over smiley. I felt my eye twitch. What was wrong with her lately? Is it something to do with US finding someone and not her? is that it? Or is it something ABOUT the people we met? She seems really fake. I don't know...

Jess caught me looking at her oddly, and froze, looking backward and forward suspiciously. "What?" Then everyone looked at me, Alice with her eyes like darts.

"nothing." i said immediately. I was obviously suspicious of her. But as long as it didn't involve me or those i love, then I hope its not bad...

The phone rang, so I picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Heyy It's Em, you lot ready for ...dinner?" I could even hear the wink through the phone. I laughed.

"Yeahh we are all ready. See you at the front doors?"

"Actually, Eddie and Jazz have gone to score us all a table. We'll meet you in there. Byeee"

"Byee!"

"OK girls, lets move out" we cheered and went out of our room. Alice walked besides me as we headed down the stairs. I knew what she was thinking.

"Don't ask" i told her.

"I won't. You're just looking out for us, I know. But we've known her for how long? 6, 7 years?"

"And in the past, how many years, has she changed, that we have ignored due to the code?"

Alice sighed, and we walked in silence to the restaurant. We then spent our time craning our heads to find the boys and Rose. We spotted them out back, with 3 tables pushed together. They waved.

"Just relaxxx" Alice whispered. I nodded, smiling at Edward, who grinned back, standing up to say hello to me.

We had got back to the table with our plates full of food.

"Urghh! I'm gonna get soo fat this holiday!" Alice whined. Jazz looked at her and whispered something in her ear, causing her to do the Swan blush. i grinned, mouth full of delicious mash. i quickly chewed and swallowed, as to not look like a fool.

"Oh, please, Alice. You are too skinny! You neeeed a bit of fat on you, otherwise you'd reach size zero." Angela said, which caused us all to chuckle. I smiled up at Edward, who was laughing with Alice, like she was her sister. I felt content, even though I had only known them a day.

Of course, Emmett went for seconds, and thirds. i have no idea how he stays the way he is! He is basically all muscle!

I honestly don't know where he puts it, but he does have alot of energy at night..." Rose led on, causing groans to come from Edward and Jazz. Emmett was eating so wasn't listening. The girls and I stopped eating, looking around the table to see how to react. I giggled and nudged Edwards leg with my own, he looked at me with a sheepish look, and I saw Rose give me a knowing look. I stared at her, my face blank, until we both grinned. I got on well with Rose. From a few pictures of her on gossip magazines, I knew she went to the High school with Jazz, Emmett and Edward, and was Jazz's younger sister.

"Didn't you find your sunglasses then, Edward? Don't expect me to pay for them when you lost them yourself..." Edward looked at me slyly. I blushed, looking down into my empty plate, then took a sip of my Coke.

"Oh, I found them alright." Edward said with a smile in his voice.
