*A/n. There you go guys a bit of everything. Suggestions and Feedback needed and appreciated. Thanks to those who have reviewd. Keep Em coming

Disclaimer: You know it. Do i really have to say it?

I giggled and fell back onto my plastic covered bed. Alice and Rose sunk into plastic covered chairs still recovering from our paint fight leaving all three of us covered in white paint.

Two days of hard work had paid off, my room was complete and I was ecstatic.

We had painted my previously dull, yellow walls with a vibrant shade of white. Alice and Rosalie had picked out the perfect mirror, antique looking but perfect for my room. We had also found a gorgeous canvas painting of a butterfly which we hung above my bed and a simple white sequined bed spread replaced the daggy purple one I had since I was seven.

"Phew, well that's our work done." Exclaimed Alice, jumping up and grabbing her stuff.

"What's the rush A?" I said propping myself up on my elbow

"I have a date with Jasper." Alice admitted, her face immediately brightening at the mention of her other half.

"On a Sunday night?" I asked, curious of her plans.

"Yes, I haven't seen him since Friday because I was helping you. And I miss him." She admitted, pouting.

"Fine go then, lovesick pixie." I laughed dodging the sponge she threw in my direction as she walked out of my bedroom.

"Tell him I said hi." I called to her retreating figure.

"Will do." She cried, and not soon after I heard the door close.

I sighed and turned towards Rosalie who began taking the plastic sheets of the furniture.

"Guess it's just you and me, Rosie." I waggled my eyebrows.

"Sorry Bells, I promised I'd go see Emmett."

"Aw Ok. Have fun." I replied, trying to hide my disappointment.

She walked over to me and kissed my cheek, grabbed her stuff and headed out the door.

I was left alone then, and began finishing what Rose has started, carefully taking the plastic sheets off the furniture to avoid any paint splatters.

I quickly cleaned up the rest of my room and sat down.

I peeked out the window and saw that Edward wasn't in his room.

I sighed. Probably out with Tanya again.

I walked over to my stereo and turned on some music, I needed something to distract me. I pulled out a magazine and began flipping through the pages. All these girls seemed so confident and self assured. Why couldn't I be like that?

My favourite song started playing and I jumped up and grabbed my hairbrush, dancing around wildly not caring if anyone saw me. I sung along with the lyrics, not caring if was off key just enjoying the moment of being free and totally crazy.

I used to think maybe you loved me, now baby I'm sure

And I just can't wait till the day when you knock on the door, yeah

Now every time I go for the mailbox, got to hold myself down

'Cause I just can't wait till you write me you're coming' around

I hopped onto my bed with the hairbrush and started to jump up and down still singing to the lyrics.

I'm walkin' on sunshine, whoa

And don't it feel good

Hey! Oh, right now

And don't it feel good

Hey! Oh, right now, yeah

I was so preoccupied with the song and singing along to it that I didn't notice a certain someone with piercing green eyes watching me with an amused expression through his bedroom window.

I used to think maybe you loved me, now I know that it's true

And I don't wanna spend all of my life just waitin' for you

Just waitin' for you

Now I don't want you back for the weekend, not back for a day, no, no, no

See, baby I just want you back and I want you to stay

As i was jumping up and down i could feel a set of eyes on my back and i turned toward the window but i couldn't see anyone. I shrugged it off and threw myself into the chorus, belting it as loud as i could.

I'm walkin' on sunshine, whoa

And don't it feel good

Hey! Oh, right now

And don't it feel good

Hey! Oh, right now

And don't it feel good

Walkin' on sunshine

I feel the love, I feel the love, I feel the love, it's really real

I'm on sunshine, baby, yea

I'm on sunshine, baby, yeah

I'm walkin' on sunshine, whoa

And don't it feel good

Hey! Oh, right now

And don't it feel good

Hey! Oh, right now

And don't it feel good

Hey! Oh, right now

And don't it feel good

Hey! Oh, right now

I'm walkin' on sunshine

As the song finished i stopped bouncing and threw my hairbrush onto the floor, holding my arms up into the air and bringing them down, bowing to an invisible audience.

I heard a chuckle and turned around to see Edward leaning against the doorway, looking godly as always, with an amused expression on his face.

"Oh!" I exclaimed in my surprise.

In my embarrassment i forgot i was still on the bed and i lost my footing, causing me to make contact with the hard, wooden floor.

"Bella! Are you okay?" He asked, hurrying over to me, a hint of amusement still evident in his eyes.

He reached over to help me up but i stopped him.

"Ah." I protested, holding my hands out in front of me, indicating for him to stop in his tracks.

"Bu-." He blurted.

"Don't." I said, giving him my best warning look.

I sat there for a moment, letting the blush slowly fade, until i decided it was best for me to get up.

"How much of that did you see?" I asked wincing slightly at the pain i felt in my bottom. That was going to leave a bruise.

"Ummm..." He grinned sheepishly.

"Best not answer that." I sighed putting my face into my hands, hoping that the floor would open up and swallow me.

"I thought you looked very cute." He grinned, clearly highly amused at my display of craziness.

At the word cute my heart skipped a beat. He called me cute! Boy, i had it bad.

"Oh shut up Edward, what do you want?" I snapped, hoping i would wake up soon and this would all be a very bad dream.

"Easy there tiger." He held his hands up in mock surrender, "I wanted to spend some time with you, is that so bad?"

Aww he wanted to spend time with me. Snap out of it Bella, he has a girlfriend AND he doesn't think of you in that way.

I looked down at my feet and muttered "No." Feeling a whole new wave of embarrassment wash over me for being so abrupt to him.

He sat down on the edge of my bed and looked around, taking in my new and improved bedroom.

He nodded his head in approval and gestured for me to take a seat next to him.

"What's going on with you and Tanya?" I asked, not beating around the bush.

He sighed and hung his head in frustration.

"I don't know," He admitted, running his hands through his bronze hair. "It's like every little thing i say she takes it so seriously." He shook his head, frustrated.

I immediately felt sorry for him, sure he was a complete idiot for dating her in the first place, but he shouldn't be feeling this way.

I placed my hand over his, forcing him to look up at me.

"Hey, don't worry about it," I smiled kindly. "I'm sure things will work out."

We sat there for awhile, not talking, just sitting there engrossed in our own thoughts. I moved my head to fully inspect my new room, when a piece of stray hair fell in front of my face. I moved to push it out of the way, when i felt soft, warm fingers doing it for me. I turned my head in surprise.

He was closer than i had expected and his hands were still on my cheek.

"You shouldn't hide those pretty eyes behind those glasses." He murmured.

"I-." Was all i managed to get out because just at that moment his phone rang and he dropped his hand from my cheek.

"Hello?" He answered.

"Oh, Hi Tanya." He sighed giving me that look.

"Yeah, fine. Give me five minutes." He said, pinching the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger. He hung up and put the phone back into his jean pocket.

"Sorry Bells, gotta go." He gave me an apologetic look.

"The Queen awaits?" I asked rudely.

He gave me that look. The one that always made my heart melt and i instantly felt bad.

"Bella," He shook his head sighing. "Don't be like that."

"I know, I'm sorry," I smiled apologetically. "See you at school?" I asked, getting up to give him a hug.

He leaned over and lightly pressed his lips to my cheek.

"See you at school." He smiled and walked out the door. I stood there shocked, for i don't know how long until i let out a huge breath of air and collapsed onto my bed. That guy was going to be the death of me.

I got up and went down into the kitchen, hoping to cook something to distract me for awhile. I opened the fridge and inspected the food, deciding on spaghetti bolognaise. Charlie's favourite.

I put the mince to defrost in the microwave and leaned on the kitchen bench, stewing over my dilemma.

I loved Edward. So why couldn't i pluck up the courage to tell him?

As i put the ingredients into the fry pan, i mentally memorised a speech i would say to Edward if i ever got around to telling him how i felt. I knew though, that i probably wouldn't go through with it. I was a major pushover, something that had repeatedly been pointed out to me by Rose and Alice. I had a tendency to think of others and their feelings rather than my own, hence the pushover label.

I heard a key turn in the lock and turned to see Charlie walking in from a hard day at work.

"Hey Bells," He smiled at me while taking off his gun and hanging it onto the rack. "What's for dinner?" He asked, curiously coming over to inspect.

"Spaghetti Bolognaise." I smirked, knowing when it came to spaghetti bolognaise he was helpless.

"Yum," He said while rubbing his stomach "Is it nearly done? I'm starving."

"Yeah, if you could just take this," I handed him a salad bowl. "And I'll just put the food on the plates."

We sat down and began eating, relishing in a comfortable silence.

"So Bells," Charlie started, breaking the silence. "What's going on with you? Any boys catch your interest?" He winked at me, amusement evident in his eyes.

I sputtered and choked on a piece of lettuce i was chewing at the time. It was painful and i couldn't stop coughing.

"Deep breaths Bells," He advised, giving me a worried look.

I exhaled and inhaled deeply, trying to calm myself down. When i was calm i felt the familiar blush rise to my cheeks, hoping Charlie would ride that off as embarrassment for the coughing attack.

"Are you done?" I jumped up grabbing his plate and mine.

"Well i was still eating," He chuckled. "But now I'm done."

I walked over to the sink and began washing up the dishes, taking my time with each one incise Charlie decided to start asking questions again.

I heard a chair scrape across the floor and footsteps head towards the living room. Charlie had gone to watch TV.

"Phew." I breathed i sigh of relief. He wasn't getting up from that sofa for a while.

I finished the dishes and walked over to where Charlie was lying, engrossed in the sports channel he so dearly loved.

"Night dad, I'm going to bed." I said, walking over to kiss his forehead.

"But Bells, its only 7.30." He asked, looking at me if i was crazy.

"I know, but I'm tired. Redecorating my room is hard work." I lied, hopefully well enough that he couldn't tell.

"Alright, Night." He said, turning his attention back onto the TV.

I smiled to myself as i trudged up the stairs. I couldn't believe that actually worked. I wasn't known for my good lying skills. In fact, those who knew me well could easily distinguish between when i was lying and when i was telling the truth. I had a feeling that part of the reason i got away with lying was because he was more interested in the TV at that present moment.

"Boys." I muttered to myself shaking my head. When it came to sports, every boy went loopy.

I walked over to my guitar and absentmindedly strummed away, again looking out the window to see nothing but darkness.

I sighed and started singing.

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset

She's going off about something that you said

She doesn't get your humour like I do

I'm in the room; it's a typical Tuesday night

I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like

And she'll never know your story like I do

But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts

She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers

Dreaming about the day when you'll wake up and find

That what you're lookin for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you

Been here all along so why can't you see?

You belong with me

"Argh."I grunted. I was frustrated. I'd been trying to write this song for weeks now and i was constantly getting stuck. I put my guitar down and got ready for bed.

When i was frustrated i turned to Jane Austen to calm me down, it always worked. I flipped through my collection of books till i came across the one i wanted. I got comfy and begun reading from where i left off. Mansfield Park was so similar to my situation, a tale of unrequited love. I started dozing off, but not until i read my favourite part in the whole book.

"I purposely abstain from dates on this occasion, that every one may be at liberty to fix their own, aware that the cure of unconquerable passions, and the transfer of unchanging attachments, must vary much as to time in different people. I only entreat everybody to believe that exactly at the time when it was quite natural that it should be so, and not a week earlier, Edmund did cease to care about Miss Crawford, and became as anxious to marry Fanny as Fanny herself could desire."

*********

"Beep""Beep" went my alarm clock signifying it was time for me to get up. I spent alot of the night tossing and turning and i came to the conclusion that i wasn't going to mope around anymore because my life wasn't perfect. I was going to get out there and enjoy my life! And for that i needed my two best friends.

I bounded into the bathroom and got myself ready, smiling at my reflection. I was a smart, capable woman who really needed to lighten up. I washed my hair with my favourite strawberry shampoo and relaxed as the warm water soothed my muscles. I blow-dried my hair until it was completely dried and fell down my back in cascading curls. I was just putting my glasses back on after i had cleaned them when i heard a beeping coming from my bedside table, no doubt a text from Alice. I walked over and picked up my phone reading the text.

B- Clothes 4 u 2 wear 2day are da bak of ur closet.

Wear dem or die. Trust me

ily-A

I smiled to myself. Alice was never going to give up so i decided to appease her for once. I opened my wardrobe and found a clothes bag at the back of my closet. I opened it up and saw that outfit she laid out for me, shaking my head to myself. I definitely liked it. She had given me a yellow three quarter top with a scoop neck that went well with the grey skinny jeans and vest and white flats (thank god she didn't give me heels) that were also in there. I decided to forgo the hat, sometimes she can go overboard, but i eagerly took the yellow bag and white scarf. I took a look at myself in the mirror.

"Not bad." I said to myself, impressed with what Alice had come up with.

I heard a honk of a horn and assumed it was Alice; i usually got a ride with her because Edward took Tanya and was deathly afraid of Emmett's Red Jeep.

I skipped down the stairs and grabbed my keys and a muesli bar from the counter, not bothering to say goodbye to Charlie because he had already left for work at the Police Station.

I hurried out, this time making sure i watched where i was going and didn't trip. I got into the front seat and Alice was practically jumping out of her skin she was so happy.

"You finally listened to me!" She screamed, bursting my ear drums.

"Yeah, well i figured I'd surprise you, can't be predictable all the time." I chuckled.

I put my seat belt on and we sped off. Alice babbling on about her date last night with Jasper and how awesome it was. I nodded and laughed at the appropriate times but i was too out of it to actually pay attention.

We pulled up next to Emmett's Jeep and i got out, being very careful not to trip or fall over anything.

"BELLSY" Came a booming voice behind me and i found myself being picked up and slung over someone's back.

"Ahhh!" I shrieked, "Emmett, put me down NOW!" i started kicking my legs and flailing my arms getting the message across that i wasn't mucking around.

"Alright, alright. Keep your panties on." He laughed and set me down.

"Humph." I huffed, crossing my arms. That's when i looked around and saw that everyone else was highly amused at my expense. Thank god Edward was nowhere in sight.

"Sup Bella." Said Jasper as he came over to hug me. It was amazing how different him and his sister were, personality wise, even though they were twins.

"Not much." I grinned. It was so easy to talk to Jasper. He was like another brother to me, same went for Emmett.

My grin quickly turned to a look of disgust as i saw Edward walk over with Tanya practically suffocating him.

"Easy Kitty". Whispered Emmett, leaning over to me before they were in earshot.

Just like their girlfriends, both Emmett and Jasper knew how i felt about Edward and his prissy girlfriend. They hated her just as much as me.

"Hi Bella." Tanya said in her fake cheery voice. She was always nice to me with Edward around; she was smart enough to figure out a long time ago that he would probably break up with her if he really knew how she treated me.

"Hi Tanya." I said in an equally fake voice. Edward was too pre-occupied looking over my shoulder to notice the way i rolled my eyes when i said it.

"Looks like we've got a new guy." Edward said as he pointed behind my shoulder. I turned around and saw none other than Jacob hopping of a red motorbike and taking his helmet off.

"Oh, Jacob." I stated, smiling and waving at him as he noticed me.

Everyone turned to stare at me.

"What?" I blushed. Edward was giving me a funny look, which confused me. What did i do?

"You KNOW him?" Asked Rosalie, curiously.

"Oh yeah," I nodded. "I bumped into him, literally, at the bookstore. He's nice."

"Yes he is," Said Rosalie, checking out his butt. "Very nice."

"Rosie!" Pouted Emmett.

"Don't worry Emmett, you're still my monkey man." She said pulling him into a kiss. Argh enough already with the public displays of affection.

I looked away pointedly and noticed Edward had gone.

"Where'd Edward go?" I asked.

Everyone looked over to the empty space where he was standing a minute ago and shrugged their shoulders. Unfortunately, Tanya was still here.

"Jacob probably felt sorry for you," She sneered, flipping her strawberry blonde hair. "Seventeen and never had a boyfriend? I feel sorry for you." She turned on her heel and strutted away.

I blushed and looked down at my feet.

"Do you want me to cut her Bella?" She asked, looking ready to fight. "I will, I swear i will."

"Don't worry bout it Rosie," I sighed shaking my head. "She's not worth it."

"Plus," I said slinging my bag over my shoulder. "She's right. He probably did feel sorry for me."

Before they could reply i turned around and walked away, hugging my books to my chest.

There went my good mood.

Stupid Bitch.

hehe. All i ask for is reviews *gives best pouty face*
