Okay so thing between Edward are going good. I can't say for sure that we're boyfriend and girlfriend, and yes I know that sounds really lame. I mean how can you not know right? Well he keeps giving me mixed signals. He holds my hand and is always there for me when I need him, but yet he refers to me as his 'Friend' or worst his 'best friend'.
I really think he's a great guy. But he hasn't really opened up to me. HE always keeps the subject on me. Every time I mention what it was like before he moved here he always changes the subject. Okay, I'll give him his space. I don't want to make things hard for him. I'll go with the flow, and take it slow. But hopefully he'll warm up to me soon.
To make things easier I wanted him to be comfortable here. So I invited him to a Bonfire hosted by my friend Jacob down at La Push beach. Hopefully he'll be comfortable enough to let me in. Maybe a nice relaxing atmosphere will help him relax.

Bella invited me to a Bonfire here friend is hosting. I hope I'm not giving her the wrong impression. I really like her. I just don't want to take any chances. Getting too close might not be safe.
'No one is safe around you.' That voice again…
Maybe its best we just stay friends…
I don't want to hurt her like I hurt_______.
We'll start off as friends, then…

"Friends first and we'll figure out the rest later," the spiky haired girl said as she dragged me to an empty room with chairs lined up in a circle.
"Huh? Who are you, where are you taking me?" I asked her
"Oh, darn. I'm sorry. I always do this. They said Alice: Introduce yourself, don't scare the patients." She laughed. "Hi, I'm Alice. And I'll be your companion for your stay here" she smiled
"Hello, I'm Edward and where exactly am I -----"I was interrupted by her laughing."
"Edward! What a nice name, you know I had an Uncle named Edward. Well this is the room where we have group sessions. And our group sessions is about to start in 5 minutes."
If I had a dime for every time some one had an Uncle with the same name as me, I'd be rich.
She started babbling on and on about the facility. And I wasn't listening I was too worried about the group sessions. I didn't know that I had to tell people about what happened. This is too much.
'Coward!' she said…
She's right. I am afraid. But I can do this. Right?

We arrived at the Beach, and I could already see that they had already started the fire. I was bit nervous to meet Bella's friends. I mean I'm sure their nothing like Lauren and Angela (Cold Heartless People). Sensing my anxiousness Bella touched my arm and gave me a loving look.
"Hey don't worry, it'll be fun – I promise."
"I'll love you forever – I promise." She said before…
I turned away from her and looked at the ocean. When we reached the bonfire pit there were a lot of people there.
"Bella! Hey over here!" Some one with a deep voice yelled.
As we approached Bella yelled, "Hey Jake!" And hugged some guy that was my height. He was Native American, with shoulder length black hair. Over Bella's shoulder he gave me a peculiar look, sizing me up.
"Oh, this must be your new friend Edward! Hi I'm Jacob."
"Hey" I said nervously.
"Hey, where's Leah at?" Bella asked.
"Oh she's in the water, Leah! Come over here, Bella's here already."
I look towards the ocean which looked way too cold to be swimming in. A girl with a short black hair came walking out of the water. She smiled and waved at Bella. Then she gave me a curious look. Jacob handed her a towel and kissed her on the cheek.
"Edward, I'd like you to meet one of my good friends Leah; Jacob's girlfriend."
And immediately I relaxed. I thought I would be in competition with Jacob. I mean from what I heard about him (Bella's non-stop talking about how great the guy is) I thought Bella had a crush on him. But I could tell form Jacob's loving look to Leah was legit.
"Hey their making smores in the fire, if you guys are hungry?" Leah said to me and Bella.
"Yeah sure, and I wrapped a protective arm around Bella's shoulder. She looked like she was cold, and pleased at my close proximity to her. We sat down in a circle around bonfire, there Jacob introduced to his friends: Sam, Quil, Embry, Paul, and Leah's younger brother Seth. We all talked about guy stuff we were into. Bella inched a little close to me and smiled.
"Are you cold?" I asked her getting ready to take off my jacket for her
"A little." She said with a slight blush on her cheeks.
I gave her my jacket and wrapped my arms around her. Al of sudden the guys including Leah and Emily (Sam's fiancée) started interrogating me. Asking me all kinds questions like: What college I wanted to go to, what football team to I go for, what's my favorite color, when I moved here, why did I move here. I felt like I was in group again…

"Welcome Everyone, to Group Session 1. You all are our newcomers to Volcano Institute. Well except Alice of course. She's been here for a couple of months now. She's volunteered to be your peer mentor throughout your stay here. She'll help you if you need anything. Alice would you like to start of with your story?"
"Yes, Dr. Rose. Hi, I'm Alice,"
"Hello Alice." We all chimed.

I laughed at all their questions.
"I haven't decided what college I want to go to yet, maybe some where in state. Uh, I like the Raiders football team, my favorite color is brown. I moved here a couple of months ago…" how can I dodge the last question. Crap!
"Um, I wanted a change of scenery. So I decided to move." I lied.
They all looked at me pleased with my answers.
"Where's just making sure your not a psycho." Leah said, I flinched at her choice of words.
'Psycho? ha! That word doesn't even cut it. More like monster' I looked down sadly.
"Don't take it to heart Edward. We just want the right guy for Bella."
"Hey! I'm offended!" Bella shouted.
"We have the right! Look at the last guy you brought to our last Bonfire, what was his name Mitch or something?" Jacob said
"His name was Mike, and…" Bella said with a lost for words.
I looked down a Bella with an eyebrow raised, with a smirk.
"So, this is where Bella brings all the guys she likes." I said. I hope she likes me. Maybe being forward with my feelings will help.
She looked up at me blushing
'So, what if I do like you? What are you gonna do about it?" she asked boldly
I was taken aback for a second but played it off smoothly. Forget being friends
"Maybe, I'll do this." I said and leaned down to kiss her. She was surprised a little but took the hint that my feelings for her were real. She kissed me back, after a couple minutes we were broken up by coughs, "a hem's' and wolf-calls.
They seemed to have approved of me. The girls showed it with their smiles and dazzled looks. The guys with their scowls and two index fingers from there eyes to my face. I looked down at Bella and she smiled at me. The whole rest of the night we held hands and I kissed her goodnight on her front porch.
"You are soo cheesy with this 'goodnight kiss' stuff…" she would say. I miss her.
