EPOV

I missed her. I missed her so much; I thought it would kill me. I wanted, needed, had to have her by my side. I was so grumpy these days that one day Jasper confronted me about.

"Do you mind keeping your mood to yourself? Can't you understand how your mood is affecting me?" You complete and selfish bastard. Why don't you try thinking about something else other than that girl you keep moping for? I was getting mad now. He had no idea what I was going through. He doesn't know what it feels like to like someone so much, but know you're not good enough for them. And then I thought about it. He did know. Thanks to me.

"I'm sorry Jasper. I just…I…I don't know what has gotten over me. I'm just so…so…"

"I know how you feel. Trust me. But can you just try to control your emotions? If you miss her so much, why don't you just go apologize to her? Maybe she'll forgive you."

"Forgive me? Jasper, have you gone insane? Let's make a list of all the things I've done to her, shall we? One, I took her out on what was supposed to be a date. Two, I ended up telling her I was a vampire and I drank her blood. Three, I left her out in the woods, and that vile Mike Newton picked her up! Do you really think she would forgive all of that? 'Cause if you do, then you're even crazier than I thought you were Jasper."

"Edward Cullen! Don't you dare call my husband crazy or you're going to have to deal with me!" Alice's voice interrupted. I hadn't heard her come in because I was so engrossed in the conversation Jasper and me were having. She walked in the room, ran to Jasper, grabbed his hand, and started kissing him. I think I'm about to be sick.

"Whoa there, Alice. If this is what I have to endure when I insult Jasper, consider it over and done with. I won't ever call him another-"

The phone rang then. Who could it be?

Alice looked at me, sadness and worry mixed in her eyes. I'm sorry, she thought. "It's Bella," she said to Jasper and me.

BPOV

I called Alice on Saturday. We had made plans to go shopping. Well, she made the plans; I was forced to come along. Someone picked up on the other line. A male someone.

"Hello?" I'd recognize that voice anywhere. That voice that had lured me to go on a date with him. That voice that came from that perfect mouth which was used to drink my blood. The blackest of fury rolled through me, and right after that came the sadness. I could and would never be with him. Then the pain. The pain that left me breathless and gasping for air.

"Hello?" I heard again. I collected my wits and tried to make my voice sound normal.

"Hey! This is Bella, is Alice there?" I waited, and waited. And waited. "Hello?"

"Yeah, just hold on a second I'll get her. Alice, you've got a call from Bella!" 'Tell her I'll be right down,' I heard in the background.

"She's says she's coming."

"Okay, thank you. I can wait."

"Bella?" Edward said.

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry." he rushed out. "I should have never done what I did. I wasn't thinking straight. I was stupid and irrational. Can you find it in your heart to forgive me? I mean I understand if you want me to go away, but I just want to know if there's a chance that you'll ever forgive-"

"Stop!" I couldn't take it anymore. I've been through so much in only the past couple days. "Look, I know you must be feeling terribly guilty about what happened. Let me tell you this, you don't need to be. I guess we're not the best choice for a couple, but we can be friends right? And if that's too hard, we can just ignore each other and go our own ways. I-"

"You think I feel guilty?!" While I was on the phone I'd been walking out the door to my car. At the sound of his voice on that last note, and the venom that was unmistakably in it made me pause.

"W-What?" I stuttered out. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. He didn't feel guilty at all? Didn't feel any remorse? I felt sick, sick to my core. I realized I had been hoping that he would've liked me enough to feel the tiniest bit guilty. Am I really not that important to him? I felt like I'd been kicked in the stomach. Over and over again with the heel of a stiletto.

"That's not what I meant! I mean that, yes I feel guilty but that's not the only thing I feel. Do you want to know what I've been feeling Bella?" He said, his tone a quiet dare.

"Try me," I returned, smiling a little at how blasé I sounded.

"Bella, I don't know how I feel about you completely, but I know that I can't stop thinking about you. You're in my every thought. Your smell, your hair, your smile. Everything about you just invites me in. You're so unique and you don't even see it. That's what so humorous about you. You try to beat it down, I know. But I…I…I don't know what else to say. Hello? You there?"

Why was I suddenly so dizzy? I leaned onto my rusty red truck and breathed in and out for a little bit. "I see," I answered.

"Did I freak you out?" Edward said. He sounded worried.

"No, just a lot to take in. Um…uh…hm…uh…you know what? I just remembered I have a Trig paper due and all. Tell Alice I'm sorry I had to cancel so suddenly. Well, bye!"

I hung up quickly when I heard Edward just starting to say "Bella, wait." No, I couldn't wait. What the hell did he just say to me? He cares about me? I was excited. I would've seriously been bouncing all over the place if my next thought didn't stop me.

He was a monster.

EPOV

She hung up on me. I just apologized and confessed what she was to me and she hung up on me. I turned slowly and looked at Jasper and Alice. Jasper just shrugged, Alice though was livid. Her gold eyes turned black with fury and she was standing with her hands on her hips and tapping her foot. I'm in for it now!

I smiled sheepishly at her and she snapped.

"YOU JUST DEPRIVED ME OF A SHOPPING TRIP, YOU FUCKING IDIOT! WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT ANYWAY?" She screeched at the top of her lungs. Which was pretty high, mind you.

"Alice, you busted both of my eardrums," Jasper said rubbing his ears. I felt bad for him because he was standing right next to her.

"SHUT-UP! NO ONE'S TALKING TO YOU! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT BASTARD OF A BROTHER YOU HAVE JUST DID?" Aah god. I think she did bust my eardrum.

"Ssh baby, calm down," Jasper whispered to her. Ugh, if I were human I'd have been throwing up my lunch right now. They kissed and I walked out of the room before I somehow managed to throw up.

I imagined myself kissing Bella, and my throat burst into flames. But, I would definitely enjoy it, though I blew it with her just now. I frowned. She'll probably never want to come near me again.
