Edwards POV

Alice had been planning her party for the past two weeks now for Bella's homecoming. Though I had protested with her many times, I could not get her to back down on her idea of having a welcome home party for Bella. I wanted so badly to tell Alice the reason why having a party would not be a good idea. I would have told Alice everything but seeing as though I should not know as much as I did about Bella, I figured it was only fair for me to keep all the information I gained from reading Bella's dairy to myself. Though every time I saw Mike I wanted to punch his lights out, I knew I could not do anything until he stupidly tried something else with Bella which I would, of course, be there to stop. I would never tell anyone about Bella's fears like heights, people touching her, athletic guys (though I am not sure how she can stand to be around Emmett, Jasper and me), silence, and, of course, drunks.

I sighed as we walked into Bella's room and Alice brought along with her an outfit for Bella to wear, in which I knew Bella wouldn't like, it showed way too much skin for her taste. Most guys would hate that a girl didn't wear short cut skirts and low cropped tops but I actually found it refreshing. I liked the fact that Bella had no idea how beautiful she was and I liked the fact that she did not see the need to use her body to get what she wanted like so many other girls in this stupid town did. I was pulled out of my day dreaming by Alice's squeaky voice.

"Bella,…I have a surprise for you,"

"No, Alice….I do not want it. All I want is to go home!" Bella said in a surprisingly stern voice.

"And you will, but this is part of going home…" and then Alice unveiled the outfit she had hidden behind her back. I saw Bella's gorgeous brown eyes widen as she took in the outfit.

"No way am I ever wearing that and especially not when I am covered in head to toe with bruises, but hey, maybe I should wear the shirt. It will match my bruises and I do love Gob-stoppers..." she said in a sarcastic tone but I gave Emmett a sideways glance when Bella mentioned Gobstoppers and we both could not control our slight laughter. Alice, Rose and Jasper seemed to be quietly snickering at the inside joke of Emmett's and mine, which meant that Emmett must have showed them the video of Bella's rants.

"Oh Bella, don't be silly. I brought leggings to go under the skirt and here is the long sleeve shirt to go under the tank top…Even though your bruises really aren't that bad any more…Plus, if you don't wear this, you will have to walk out of here in the hospital gown that has no butt…"

Bella's cheeks turned crimson and I could not help the half smile that tugged at the corners of my mouth. She was beautiful all the time but when she blushed I couldn't help but smile. Bella's cheeks seemed to grow even redder when she looked at me. This made an even bigger smile crawl cross my face. I knew it was wrong after everything Bella had been though but I couldn't help it. I liked Bella. I wanted desperately for everything she had said about me while she was loopy to be really how she felt, but I knew it was just the drugs… I could feel everyone in the room other than Alice feeling uncomfortable with the mention of Bella's bruises.

"That's what I thought…," Alice retorted and with that she shooed Emmett, Jasper, and me out of the room so she and Rose could help Bella get dressed.

"I am starving," Emmett said as soon as we were out of the room.

"Well you can eat at that stupid party Alice has planned." I flatly

"Don't be such a spoiled sport Edward…Wow I never thought I would get to use that in a sentence," Emmett said as a smile grew across his face. Sometimes Emmett could be such a two year old.

"Plus, Alice said we have to keep Bella away from the house for two hours once we leave here so she can get everything ready for the surprise party…Oh, we should go to the Chinese place on the west side of Forks.

"Fine, whatever…I honestly don't think Bella is going to like this party," I said in one last pleading attempt to get them to cancel the party.

"Edward, please, just give the no party thing a rest…I along with everyone else I am getting sick of your complaints." He sounded rather exasperated and decided I best just give it up and stay in my room all night like I planned.

"Chinese it is!" Emmett said in a happy glee.

The door opened and Alice, Rose, and then Bella exited the room. Bella exited in her new outfit and looked amazing. Alice must have done a little make-up on Bella because I could not find a single bruise on her. Bella must have noticed me staring at her because she started to turn that beautiful shade of crimson again.

"Wow…Bella…umm you look….ummm" Emmett said as he seemed to be stumbling over his words since what he was really thinking he could not say out loud. I mean the word he was looking for was hot and being her bother he definitely could not say that.

"To Chinese…?" Jasper said trying to help Emmett out even though I wish he hadn't. Watching Emmett squirm was quite hilarious.

"Oh, Chinese…Well I have got some homework I need to finish…Well actually Rose and I have a project," Alice said, no doubt sensing that was our plan to distract Bella for the next hour or so.

oh my gosh i completly forgot to add the fact that it is not really a surprize party...it is more of a party at Alice's house for Bella coming but Emmett is suppose to tell her before she walks in and no one is going to jump out and say Surprize...lol..wow i can not believe i forgot to put that in...i will explain it more next chapter...opps well read and review as always..and now that i know what Flame means go ahead and flame me...lol
