"Not All Is As It Seems"

After making up my mind and coming up with a plan I wiped my eyes, retouched my makeup and made my way towards the house. As soon as I spotted him down the hall talking with some guys from the team I made my way towards him. As I approached him from behind I lightly tapped him on the shoulder. When he turned around and stared at me I could tell he was confused to why I had approached him.

"Can I talk to you?" I asked quietly hoping he didn't say no.

"I don't think we have anything to talk about" he stared back at me but didn't seem rude in anyway.

"I do have something to say Edward." I said as I stared into his green eyes. For a second I felt myself being drowned in those eyes and had to blink to focus on what I was doing.

"If you're here to berate Alice then I don't want to hear it." he warned and stood there waiting for me my answer.

"No not at all. Can you just come with me? I rather talk somewhere less rowdy." I pleaded and hoped that he would give in a follow. When he nodded I turned and made my way towards one of the bedrooms in the house. As I closed the door I noticed that he appeared uncomfortable.

"I'm not going to do anything to you. I just wanted to talk." I smiled over at him standing by the door.

"Ok. Talk" he simply said but relaxed against the door.

"I wanted to apologize. I know I've been a total bitch to Alice lately and I'm sorry. I know I should be saying this to her but to be honest right now I'm not there so I wanted to tell you first. What you said out there is true I am pathetic and I am being a bitch. I truly am sorry and I want to show you that I'm not that. Although I have been acting like it I'm not an evil person. Can you give me the chance to you that?" I said and looked down at my hands.

He walked over and sat next to me "Isabella I know that you've been through a lot and like you said, I don't know everything you've been through but I do know what Alice has been through and I know that it's been a lot. I won't say what because that is for her to share not me but you aren't the only one that was hurt by the situation. I didn't mean to say all that back there I was just tired of the way you were treating Alice. I can try to forgive you because I kind of feel like you're a good person deep down somewhere in there" he sighed and poked my side.

I laughed and for the first time and it wasn't a fake laugh, it was real and it felt good. I looked over and was again pulled into Edward's beautiful green eyes. They told me that that what he said he honestly believed. He believed that I was a good person and then I started to feel guilty for what I was doing.

"Thanks. That means a lot." I mumbled and smiled at him.

"No problem. Just promise me you'll back off Alice. Please Isabella" he pleaded.

"Ok I promise, if you do me a favor." This part I realized was going to be easy. I went for the kill.

"Depends what it is" he said warily.

"I'm having a lot of trouble with English and I need a tutor. I see how good you are in class and would really appreciate the help" I asked shyly knowing that it would be the only way.

"Isabella I don't know. I don't think that's such a good idea. I am Alice best friend and I don't think it would be right" he whispered and got up from the bed running his hand through his hair.

"Please Edward you're the best in class. I won't tell anyone about it so Alice won't find out and I'll back off and won't do anything to her." I knew promising to not mess with Alice was the only way he would give in. Cheap shot I know but I knew it would work.

He sighed and let out a loud breath "Fine Isabella, but this is between you and I" he smiled hesitantly.

"Thanks! You're a life saver!" I got up and threw my arms around him without thinking. As soon as my arms touched him I felt like I had been shocked, like an electrical surge was going through my entire body. I quickly jumped back and leaned against the door.

"Sorry" I mumbled and looked down at my feet. I lifted my head slightly and saw Edward standing there with a confused expression. Did he feel the same thing? I wondered but then he shook his head.

"Umm its ok you're welcome" he chuckled "Now let's get back to the party before people start to think inappropriate things. Why don't you go first so that there aren't any problems" he motioned toward the door. I nodded and was about to turn the door when he suddenly remembered something "And Bella remember your promise." He warned but not in a threatening way.

"I know and Edward…call me Bella." I smiled and walked out of the room smiling. The first part of my plan was already in place and now there was just one part left.

When I spotted Jasper with a group of guys I made my way towards him grabbed him by the hand. As I made my way towards the dance floor I found myself thinking about what had just happened with Edward. I had never felt anything like what I had just felt and it was really weird. What could that have been? I wondered but then shook my head and focused on what I was going to do. Jasper wrapped his arms around me and brought me close to him as a slow song started. I wrapped my arms around him and laid my head on his chest.

"I love you" I whispered and felt Jasper freeze in shock.

"What?" he asked.

"I love you Jasper Whitlock" I smiled up at him. He grabbed the back of my neck and bent down and kissed me. I kissed him back with as much force until he stopped and kissed me once on the lips "I love you too Isabella Swan". I smiled and snuggled up to him as we continued to dance. I checked off my list in my head. Get Edward to forgive me. Check. Get Jasper wrapped around my finger. Check. Alice was going to regret ever crossing Bella Swan.
