Disclaimer: I don't own anything Twilight related, the characters and all of that. Please don't steal my storyline, it is mine and I hope you all respect that as I am sure you guys are.
A/N: Warning! To all who's reviews I replied, I told you this would be a funny chapter, ya umm its not really. lol Sorry! I started off with everyones POV and I was happy then I got bad news and it went downhill. Next chapter (Pasta a la Bella) will be funnier. This one discusses pregnancy and references to such activities involved in that as well as suicidal thoughts, the rating isn't changing but just be aware. I did a few different POV's just to give you an idea of all the people who care about Bella even though she doesn't know they care for her. This is also my longest chapter to date but the ending is good! So read it all the way through! Congratulations to Rosette-Cullen for correctly guessing that Ricardo would be saying you love her (many of you also suggested that) and that Edward's mother committed suicide. Something happened to him and his father and she couldn't take it, Edward will explain everything to Bella in the future. Again, be aware of typos I rushed this one in editing because I'm going to be busy the next few days. Still looking for requests for a beta! Great reviews guys keep it up! thnx, freeyourminddreamer:)
Jessica's Plan and Alice's Fury
Jessica POV
Today was day two of my big news. I was so ecstatic, wait until they heard the second half of my plan! I skipped to my first class and saw Mike smiling at me, today was going to be a great day! I noticed Bella looking troubled, I should probably go ask her what's wrong, we'll talk in Trig.
Mike POV
A trip to Europe, how awesome! Only Jessica would think of something like this, I wonder if Bella would want to sit with me on the plane. Apparently Jessica has a really romantic second half to this plan, I can't wait to hear it hopefully I can finally get Bella to agree to go out with me!
Kate POV
Bella was not amused with the plan. Bella was extremely hard to please but it didn't mean we didn't try.
As I sat in my spot at my science desk with Nick I thought about Bella, I had made sure she was very aware that Alice, Rosalie, Vikki, all of us, were prepared to use force to ensure she made this trip. Nick smiled at me.
"You okay babe?"
"I have a name jerk." I didn't mean to be so cruel, he knew I loved him, but my woman instincts kicked in first and I fought strongly for the right that as equals we deserved to be called by our real names.
He pulled me close to him, "Are you okay beautiful?" His face leaned into my ear.
"I'm waiting." I rolled my eyes.
"Katrina, your face seems troubled and it's worrying me, are you alright?"
"Much better." I smiled, "I'm just worried about Bella that's all."
He frowned, "It'll all work out, I'm just worried about that man, James and Laurent couldn't find him, I hope he doesn't come back."
I sighed, "That's why Europe is a good idea."
Nick nodded, "Just don't worry too much, save some Kate for me."
I looked up into his eyes, they were watching me intently, "I love you Nick." I whispered.
He leaned down and gave me a quick kiss, "Love you too Kate."
Jasper POV
"What's wrong Alice?"
"I just found out what Jessica's planning, damn that girl for not giving me more notice! Bella doesn't have enough outfits to impress!" Her beautiful features were scrunched together as she struggled to solve this problem.
"Bella has bigger problems than a lack of flattering outfits." I reminded her.
"That's true but still…"
We were in spare first period in the library; I pulled her into my arms.
"Don't trouble yourself, we've got her back." I smiled to her, she smiled back.
"Thanks Jazz but I need to vent my anger out so can you convince the guys to hit the gym in Port Angeles tonight?" she asked, her eyelashes fluttering.
"Why?" I knew I was putty in her hands, but I still wanted to know.
"Because…when I get angry I take my credit card and drag the girls out with me so we can go shopping and the gym is close for if we need you!" she clapped at the thought of this.
I sighed, "I'll work something out."
"That's why I love you Jazz." I leant down and kissed her.
"That's why I love you too Alice."
Rosalie POV
"Emmett!" I squealed, we were in the broom closet and I knew we needed to keep it down.
"I'm sorry Rose baby it's just I can't keep my hands off of you!"
I smacked him, "You're making me sound like a…"
"No, no!" he waved his hands in front of my face, "Because you're so beautiful!"
I smiled, "That's better." He pulled me close and started kissing my neck, "I think Alice wants to go shopping tonight." He groaned, from me or my response I wasn't quite sure.
"I don't like being away from you." He said.
"I know but you'll probably be at the gym in Port Angeles. In case anything happens with Bella or any of us really." I explained.
"I'm worried about her, James was telling me about the guy that attacked her and they couldn't find him."
"I know, it's scary but you guys will find him, you're my big tough bear Emmett, I love you to death, you're the best boyfriend a guy could ask for." I let him pull me in for one last kiss.
"Rose, can I ask you something?" his eyes shifted, he seemed almost nervous.
"Of course."
Emmett POV
"Rosalie Lillian Hale Cullen, I love you so much." Her smile grew and her eyes flickered to mine, so beautiful.
"I love you too Emmett." She laughed.
"I know this is totally cheesy considering we're in the broom closet but I need to ask you something."
She laughed again, the sound of an angel, "It's okay."
"Rose, would you ever consider marrying me?" My voice almost broke, I had been practicing this for weeks and I still was nervous.
Her jaw dropped, "Emmett, are you asking me to marry you?"
"I agree we're too young so not to marry me but," I pulled the ring from my back pocket, "This is a promise ring Rosalie, because I promise to love you forever."
Tears began to fall down her cheeks and I pulled her close to me.
"Em put the ring on my finger." I smiled and followed her instructions, she investigated the ring with her other hand, "It's so beautiful."
"Just like you."
"I love you Emmett, one day I will marry you." Our smiles were huge as I grabbed her into a big bear hug and she laughed.
"Ahem," there was a voice as the door opened, "What do we have here?"
Victoria POV
I tried really hard to hold in my laughter but I just couldn't.
"It's okay Rosy, it's just us!" I squealed.
Rose nearly collapsed, "Oh my God Vikki you scared the hell out of me!"
"What the hell are you guys doing, you've been gone for ten minutes!" James asked.
"Sorry buddy, you know a guys gotta do what a guys gotta do." Emmett laughed.
Rosy smacked him and that's when I saw the ring.
"Holy shit, are you two engaged?!" I yelled.
"It's a promise ring." Rosalie explained with a huge smile.
"Nice man." James high fived Emmett before pulling me into his arms, "I love you Vikki."
"Love you to James." He kissed the top of my head and we all headed back to class.
BPOV
"Hey Bella!" Jessica waved as I entered the Trig room.
"Hey Jess, nice announcement yesterday."
"Thanks!" she laughed, "So what's up are you okay?"
"Yeah, just nervous for your next big announcement today." I forced a laugh; I was also completely uncomfortable in the clothes I had been forced in again today.
"Well it's a good one I promise."
"Alright."
"Did you hear the news?" she was jumping in her seat so it must be good.
"Umm, I don't think so."
"Emmett gave Rosalie a promise ring! In the broom closet!" she started to laugh.
"It's true!" Vikki turned around from in front of Jessica, "James and I caught them."
I stifled a laugh, the broom closet was a known make-out spot for Forks High, Emmett and Rose used it most frequently though.
"Wow." I managed to say, Emmett and Rose together forever? I could see that, like Jasper and Alice, Jessica and Mike (once he realized I didn't like him), Tanya and Jake, Kate and Nick, Laurent and Irina, James and Vikki, Lauren and Connor…the list went on and on but a little voice in my head asked me if they would really be together forever, I told it to shut up.
"Ahem!" the teacher put an end to our discussion and I began doodling in my notebook.
"Mrs. Edward Anthony Mason." I was in Biology yesterday when it came to me, Edward's middle name was Anthony, it fit perfectly, just like his last name, Mason. I smiled, but frowned immediately, it didn't have the same effect as yesterday. I erased the names and waited for lunch to come.
Rose was waiting to jump me after Trig, "Look!" she squealed.
"I heard!" I joined in the jumping up and down, "It's beautiful."
"Oh my!" Kate joined in the jumping and soon Alice was there too.
"You're so lucky!"
"He's so great!"
"Thanks everyone." Rose blushed.
"Go suck a cow!" All of us girls turned to see where that had come from, but it was just two juniors fighting so we resumed our squealing on the way to the cafeteria. Kate and I took our normal spots in line to insult the people of our school.
"Hey Kate, hey Bella!" Angela greeted us.
"Hey, did you hear about Rose and Emmett?" Kate asked.
"Yes! It's so sweet!" Angie squealed as I noticed Ben become extremely uncomfortable.
"Go to the table Ben, its girl time." I ordered. He smiled and ran towards Nick.
"So who are we insulting today ladies?" Angie asked.
"Emmett first because he practically proposed in the broom closet." Kate started.
I laughed, "Lauren's jealousy?"
"And her skirt?" Angie asked.
"Ugh, definitely, she needs a new wardrobe that consists of pants not cloths!"
"You're wearing a cloth?" Nick asked confused, from behind us.
"Go away, we're busy." Angie ordered as he chuckled, walking away.
"Ahem!" Jessica yelled from the microphone
"Oh no." I groaned.
"Guess what everybody?"
"What Jessica?" everyone yelled back.
"We're having a Romance Game!"
"Oh my God." Kate's jaw dropped and I joined in her swearing except under my breath.
"We'll be selling flowers and chocolates and having secret admirers! You all will be making a little profile about yourself and people can send you secret notes! We might even set up a timetable for that darn broom closet," she laughed to herself, "But some people have already used it today. So what do you guys think?" Everyone began cheering.
"Please tell me I'm dreaming." I begged Kate.
"She's gone psycho." Kate explained.
"No freaking way." Even Angela agreed.
"So start creating your profiles and when you're ready hand then in to me! We're going to be making kissing booths and everything! There's not enough romance after Valentine's Day."
"Kill me now." I moaned.
"Have fun guys!" with that Jessica left the mike and I saw tons of people begin writing profiles!
"Wow." I said.
"Wow."
"Wow."
"Let's get to our table." Angie suggested, we nodded and followed.
"Bella Swan, sexy single girl looking for fun, comfort, handsome…" Alice was saying to Jasper.
"WHAT?!" I screamed, grabbing the paper from her.
"Dammit Emmett you were supposed to be on lookout!" she yelled.
"Sorry, I'm to busy with my own lady."
"Eww don't make me gag Emmett." Kate smacked him.
I laughed, "I will write my own profile." I grabbed the pen and paper.
Isabella, Bella, Swan

Looking for sweet, kind guy that fulfills my extremely high expectations.

"How's that Alice?" she frowned at me, seeing right through my plan.
"Jessica!" she yelled. Jess ran at us and grabbed the profile.
My mouth dropped, "Alice!" I yelled.
"You wrote it." She shrugged as I groaned.
"Check out mine." Kate laughed.
Katrina, Kate, Succumbi
Wants Nicholas Dally.
If you are not Nick Dally stop reading.
Nick is hotter than you so just give up.

I snorted, "That's perfect." Everyone had liked my style and joined in.

Ben Cheney
Angie's my girl.
"Wow guys, these are…" I struggled for the right word, "Probably not what Jessica meant."
Everyone laughed, "Isn't that the point?"
"True." I joined in the laughing as Jessica began setting up tables with profiles and flowers.
"Where's Nick?" Kate asked with a pout, "If he abandoned me he is so walking home!"
"I'm right here, these are for you." Kate jumped out of her spot with a scream as Nick tapped her back.
"Dammit you scared me!" she yelped.
He laughed and gave her three flowers.
She eyed him suspiciously, "Alright I accept these flowers buddy." He just smiled at her. A few other guys had bought some flowers and most of the couples were getting too close for my liking so I excused myself.
"Gag gag I'm going to get my books."
Rosalie waved her ring hand to me and I rolled my eyes at her, "Get a room!"
Emmett looked suspiciously in the direction of the broom closet but after seeing my face decided against it.
"I'm going to the library do you want to come Bella?" Irina asked.
"Sure." I answered and followed her towards the library.
She took the wrong turn and ended up leading me outside.
I smiled, "What do you need to talk about?" I had the reputation of being an "advice girl" and a very good listener, this happened a lot.
She sighed, her eyes worried, "I might be pregnant."
I had been expecting something like this, "Okay, we'll gather all the girls tonight and have a little party, don't worry we'll figure it out." I gave her a reassuring hug.
"Thanks Bells." Alice had found her way outside and told us of her plans to go shopping and I explained the situation to her, we agreed we'd shop in Port Angeles and then go back to my house and test Irina. The warning bell had sounded to I ran to my locker and then Biology. Mr. Banner put the second half of the movie on and I felt much more alone then yesterday. I looked at my notebook but I really felt no use for scribbling about a guy who didn't even exist. Silently, I headed to gym class and, feeling ill, sat out of co-ed volleyball again.
I drove home, quieter than usual, I had to drop of my stuff and grab my purse before meeting the girls at the Cullens. No one was home as I made my way upstairs. Something overtook me and I fell onto my bed, covered in tears.
"It's not fair!" I started pounding on my pillow.
"What did I ever do God!" I screamed at the ceiling, "Why does everyone hate me! Why do you enjoy seeing me tortured!" the tears kept pouring and I felt so sick to my stomach. I rose to the mirror and saw such a hideous person. I wanted out, I needed a way out, and that's when I knew…Phil had a knife, it was in the basement…
EPOV
"Edward, she's in trouble." Ricardo ran to my room.
"I don't care." I snarled at him, although my stomach lurched, Bella...in trouble...
"She has a knife Edward, she wants out…"
"No!" I roared, jumping to my feet and arriving in her room.
She was standing at the mirror, knife in hand; it was raised at her arm…
"Bella!" I screamed, she turned to me, I was completely visible, I was in my human form.
She was stunned, completely out of her mind; she had no idea what she was doing. Her mind wasn't functioning properly and she continued with the knife. I jumped at her, grabbing the knife and tossing it across the room, pinning her in my arms on the bed.
"Edward." She mumbled, "I'm so sorry."
"Shh, Bella I'm here."
"I love you Edward." She whispered and I felt a pain in my chest, like a knife.
"I love you too Bella." I pressed my lips ever so softly to hers, pulling her closer to me, protecting her.
BPOV
I was in my truck to the Cullen house. I didn't know what had just happened. One minute I was fine, next I was crying, then there was a knife but I came to my senses lying on my bed. It had only been a few minutes and the only memory that was clear was me confessing my love to Edward, who didn't even exist.
"Bella's here!" Kate yelled from the porch. I moved, in a daze, to Rosalie's car and we were on the road. I noted that every girl I knew had decided to come, we were in two or three cars, but only this car was going to my house tonight for Irina, must be a sale or something.
Everyone began chatting to themselves and before I knew it we were along the boardwalk shopping. Alice was moving at a frantic pace, grabbing clothes after clothes and throwing them at everyone.
"This is for Kate!" she'd yell and something would fly towards Kate.
"Jess!" a pair of jean soared towards Jessica.
"Bella!" I saw a strapless top come my way. I groaned, adding it to my pile, and headed for the change rooms. They were all full.
"I'm going to the men's section! It's dead anyways!" I yelled, knowing someone would hear me.
I started changing through the clothes, sticking a few things in the automatic rejection pile, the leather mini-skirt, the push-up bra to name a few. I was on my last item, a blue flowery dress, but I wanted someone's opinion. I walked out of the room and noticed one of the girls standing at the corner.
"Hey what do you think?" I yelled.
"Appetizing." They replied.
"Very funny." I rolled my eyes, "Get or dump?" I asked, I thought it was Kate.
"All I want is you." I started to back away, preparing a scream, but I was shoved back into the change room, his hand covering my eyes and mouth. I kicked really hard and tried to bite his hands. I heard the door slam and I was all alone again.
I sat on the bench, almost shaking. "What the hell?" I mused to myself. No one had been here, definitely not. I shook my head and realized I was just day dreaming. I decided that I liked the dress and headed back to where I saw Irina.
"Let's get out of here." She said.
I agreed as we all piled our purchases and headed for our cars. I noticed the guys were outside waiting.
"We went looking for you guys inside but none of us saw you guys." James said.
"I thought I saw Bella but it wasn't her." Laurent added quietly.
"I couldn't even find you Rose! And I can spot you from a mile away!" Emmett laughed.
"Whatever boys, we're going home." Kate dismissed them with a shake of her hand. My carload drove to the Cullen house in silence. We all piled into my truck and headed to my house, then Alice's room.
"Got the test?" I asked.
Kate threw the box at me and I handed it to Irina. She went into the bathroom and then came back out with the test. We waited in dead silence for five minutes.
"Negative." Vikki whispered.
"Thank God." Irina choked. We all threw our arms around her.
"I'd better go, it's getting late." Vikki said. We all nodded and said our goodbyes, everything would be back to normal tomorrow, no one thought any less of Irina considering we'd done this for Lauren (who was not present this time) a few months ago, they all had boyfriends that they were all going to marry and have families with in Forks so it didn't really matter to them. I never told them that to me it did...a bit, maybe I was jealous, but not of what they did with them, more that they had someone to love them, I really wanted that. Not all of the girls were like Irina or Lauren, but most wanted to be, all I wanted was to be loved, was that to much to ask?
"How was shopping honey?" Renee asked.
"Great, got a few good stuff." I replied.
"Awesome!" Alice added enthusiastically.
"I'm tired, I'm hitting the sack." I told them. They just nodded.
"Are you okay Bells?" Emmett asked me.
"Yeah why?"
"Anything happen today?"
Well I confessed my love to the air for a guy that doesn't exist and I think I may have kissed the air, thinking it was him then I almost got attacked in the change room but it may have just been a daydream and I had suicidal thoughts, but other than that nothing else.
"Nope I'm fine, nothing happened." He gave me a hug.
"Alright, good night Bells."
"Good night Emmett." I closed the door to my room and almost had a heart attack at what I saw.
EPOV
"Who is he Ricardo?!" I yelled. He had come back for her, but I hadn't seen him, he disappeared again! I had stayed with her, made sure she was alright.
"Why don't we talk about what you did to her?"
I struggled with my words, "I took the knife away from her, I pushed her to the bed."
"And…" he had that stupid smile on his face again.
"She said she loved me, I told her I loved her too, I kissed her." My voice went really quiet.
Ricardo was beside me in a flash, "What are you feeling right now Edward?"
"Like there's a knife in my chest, it really hurts. I want to be beside her, to protect her; I don't want her being like my mother. I want to be with her; I'll figure it out, I will…" my voice trailed off, "What is it Ricardo, what's wrong with me?"
He sighed but it was more of a happy one, "You're in love Edward."
"I'm in what?"
He just looked at me.
"I love her…" somehow the words were easier to say now.
"Yes, you do."
"And you knew this would happen."
"One day I will explain it all to you, but I think you need to start explaining to Bella."
"What?!" I yelled, that was completely preposterous!
He rolled his eyes, "She loves you too, she's just confused and thinks you're not real so you need to tell her about you."
"But that's against the rules." I pleaded.
"You're a special case Edward."
"But…she'll think I'm the psychotic stalker!" I was exasperated, this I had not expected.
"And you'll be patient, and you'll show her, and you'll teach her." He made it sound so easy.
"I can…try?" I asked.
He nodded, "Edward, I am going to give you one lesson of advice that you have to promise to take."
"Okay."
"You have to fight for the things you love."
I nodded, "I understand."
"Then go."
I smiled and moved to Bella's room, where I waited for her in her rocking chair.
BPOV
"What the…" I murmured. He was there for a minute, and then he was gone. My mind was definitely pulling tricks on me, it's late. I decided I was seeing things and laid down to sleep.
EPOV
I chickened out, I couldn't do it but now I laid beside my sleeping angel, my angel. I laughed to myself at that irony.
"Soon beautiful." I whispered to her, "Soon I will tell you everything."
A/N: Awww he chickened out :( poor Eddie has butterflies in his stomach..okay its late and the author is tired. I want more suggestions on who you think the stalker is! Got some good ones last time, keep guessing! There is a BIG BIG BIG FORESHADOWED LINE AT THE END OF THIS CHAPTER, just a hint you know. COUGH RICARDO COUGH kudos and cookies to you who guesses it. Alsoooo I want to know which of the surprising POVs did you like best? Also, feel free to criticise or add your opinions. Poll will be closing in next few days, Rome is in the lead! If you haven't voted yet go vote! Review, you guys are always awesome!
