CHAPTER 4

I drove to school at 8 0' clock, and got there for 8:30. I sat down at a picnic table and waited for Edward to come. He didn't. I saw Alice, who walked right past me, but no Edward. I walked to class alone, and for the first time, I actually felt alone. At lunch I sought Alice out and tried to talk to her, but she gave me the silent treatment. That was when I knew something was wrong. When the final bell rang I went to Alice's car and waited for her. When she saw me she looked absolutely pissed out of her mind.

"What's wrong Alice?" I asked.

"As if you even need to ask" She exclaimed rudely.

"Well, I want to make things better, and if I don't know what's wrong, I can't exactly do anything about it." I told her.

"Hmmmm, let me see, you broke my brothers heart, I think that's a good enough reason to be mad."

"Look, Alice, I never meant to hurt him! The truth is I felt I really needed to work on my schoolwork, and having a relationship was really going to hurt it! But now I don't know what to do, because I feel absolutely empty inside now. Alice, please help me get your brother back."

"Look, if you knew that you didn't want to get involved in a relationship, then why did you start it in the first place? You really broke his heart."

"I know, and it hurts me too, but I didn't know that it was going to end up being a relationship Alice, and now I really want to fix it."

"I don't know If I can trust you not to break his heart again."

"I promise I will not break his heart again Alice. I-I, I think I love him."

Alice's face got softer and she gave me a hug.

"Well then go get him," she told me, "he's sulking in his room at home."

So, I drove to their house with Alice right behind me. She took me inside and to his room. When I knocked on the door he told me to go away.

"Edward, it's me, Bella. I am so sorry about what I did and I'm here to make it better. Please let me come in."

When he didn't answer I opened the door to see him lying on his stomach on his bed. I went in and sat on his bed beside him to see that he was crying. I wrapped my arms around him and just let him cry it out. Once he sat up, he moved away from me to the window.

"Why are you here?" He asked.

"Because I made a huge mistake. I wanted to work on my schoolwork, and I thought that being in a relationship was going to stop me from doing well in school, but now I know that it doesn't matter, because it hurts me to be away from you as well. I need you Edward, I love you," I cried.

He looked at me and I looked down so that he wouldn't be able to see my face. I heard him walking and he was soon right in front of me. He put two fingers under my chin to lift it up. I see his face coming closer and next thing I know, he is kissing me. It was like nothing I had ever felt before. There was a chill that ran through my body and made me shiver, which in turn made him hold me closer. And then, to ruin the moment, there was a flash and we broke apart and looked at the door just in time to see Alice's spiky black hair.

"I am going to kill her," Edward said while moving towards the door.

"No, don't," I told him, grabbing onto his arm. "Let's just enjoy this moment, forget about Alice, we can get her back later."

"All right," he told me and bent down again. We spent the rest of the day cooped up in his room, just cuddling and talking, until his parents told us to come down for supper. When we got to the dining room, we saw that the whole family was crowded around Alice and her camera. I decided to go see what they were looking at. I crept behind the crowd and went onto my tip toes. And then I saw it, so many pictures of me and Edward together, including the one of us kissing.

"Hey! Where did those come from?" I asked.

"Ummmm," Alice said, "I took them of you guys when you weren't looking."

"Really, Alice? Do you not know me at all? You know that I don't like pictures, especially pictures of me like that!"

"Like what Bella? I don't see anything wrong with these. They just express your great love for Edward!"

'Oh, great!' I thought, 'here comes the blush.' And sure enough I did end up blushing. Well, not so much blushing as turning into a bright red tomato!

"Awww, look at Bella blush!" Alice exclaimed, "that's adorable!" She turned the camera on me.

'ALICE, drop the camera! NOW, before I do something you would not like."

"And what would that be Bella?"

"Oh, I don't know, maybe go into your closet and burn all of your clothes!" I said while slowly moving towards the stairs.

Alice gasped. "You wouldn't!" she yelled, eyeing me. I could tell that she saw me moving towards the stairs. Everyone else stood there gaping at us dumbly.

"Oh, I would, and you know I would!" I exclaimed.

"Fine," she said as she put the camera down, "But don't expect it to be down forever! I will get some more pictures of you two."

"Good," I said, "Now let's go eat."

Hey guys,
