Hi there readers :) don't hate me! It's been a while since I've posted and I'm sorry, hopefully the next chapter won't take so long to get out but I have to admit I'm kinda in the dark with a stick trying to find my way out here, I don't know where this story is going I basically write what comes to me, so lets do this and hope it goes in an interesting direction...

Disclaimer: I do not own any characters that are in twilight.

I awoke to the smell of pancakes, Alice's specialty. Uncurling from the fetal position I slept in I stretch my arms to the ceiling and swing my feet to the side of my bed, the floor is cold and my feet quickly find their way into the fuzzy blue slippers right beside the nightstand.

The sun shines through the curtains and I peak out onto the quiet street, a man on a bike has a basket on the handle bars filled with assorted colours of freesia. He turns into our drive way and dismounts his bike.

I close the curtains and begin to leave my room as I hear the doorbell ring. I hear Alice chime 'I'll get it!' and then the soft pitter patter of her feet on the hardwood floor. I only hear mumblings of the twos conversation and then a high pitched squeal and the slam of the front door.

I creep out of my room down the stairs so I can get a better listen to what Alice is saying to herself, I reach the railings and peer through the banisters, Alice is pacing in front of the flowers and reaches out towards the tiny yellow card hidden amongst the brightly coloured flowers, she retracts her hand and paces a few more times and repeats the huffing and puffing she did before.

I clear my throat and walk down the stairs to the clearly frustrated pixie, "Morning Alice!"

Alice turns to me with delight in her eyes, she flashes me a bright smile and bounds towards me with her arms wide open she crushes me into a hug. You'd think for such a small body she wouldn't be able to knock the wind out of someone but my lungs were very short of breath when she finally released me.

Alice takes a long breath in and begins to talk...fast "OhBella,flowers!Foryou,atleastIthinktheyareforyou?Iwasn'" her words were spilling out of her mouth and her arms were flailing about.

I grab Alice by the shoulders, "." I look her straight in the eyes and she takes a deep breath in, about to begin another long winded speech. I put my finger to her lips, "Alice, don't talk so fast, I caught none of that" she smiles and nods politely, then hops over to the couch and pats the seat next to her silently.

I sit cautiously next to her and the flowers, the colours were beautiful and vibrant with reds, blue-y greens, yellow, purples and orange, I pick up the manila card sticking out from the flowers and read the neat writing.

I had a wonderful time last night,

I hope to see you again soon.

-number guy, or just Edward

I don't need Alice to tell me, I feeling heat rise into my cheeks and bubbles begin to fill my stomach making me feel light headed and a weird feeling of elation that I've haven't felt in a long time. I just picture Edward's perfect smile in my head, the way he looked last night and the way he treated me with so much care. It was all too good to be true.

My happiness diminished and I felt the bubbles popping and turning into a churning feeling in my stomach again. Alice noticed.

"Bella, what's wrong? Don't you like the flowers?"

"Alice...it's too good."

"What do you mean it's 'too good'? You've had people give you flowers before, I don't see the big deal.."

"No Alice, it's not that he got me flowers it's just everything is too perfect. It's not real, there's a catch."

"Bella, not everything has a catch. Something's are just...well good."

"Not to me."

"Bella, you know I love you with all my heart and I would take a paintball to the forehead for you right?"

"I guess."

Alice holds out her arms and I accept the hug, she holds me close and whispers in my ear, "Then believe me when I say this, you are worth it. You agreed that Eric was over and he didn't deserve you. Not every boy is like Eric or Mike, not every boy is willing to choose the lie over the truth and not every boy out there wants to break your heart. You can't live your life thinking everyone is bad. You have to trust people Bella."

"I never said Edward was bad" I mumble into Alice's hair.

"You didn't have to, it's what you were thinking and I'm not going to let you pass Edward by because you're afraid that he will be just like Eric. I mean he's already proven he isn't, a fancy dinner, playing the piano instead of playing playstation and when did Eric ever, I mean EVER send you flowers?"

"Never, but Alice..it feels, it feels like it's too soon. I mean I'm still getting over Eric" Alice squishes my cheeks in her hands.

"There is nothing to get over, you said it yourself! You Bella Swan are a strong independent woman and you do not need to mourn the loss of some bozo who shows up hours late for coffee."

"You sound like a commercial for birth control..." Alice's eyes slice like a knife and her lips purse with disbelief, "All I'm saying is that you don't have to convince me that I'm ok, I would know if I'm ok and I just don't think I am yet. Last night was magical and I haven't felt like that in years"

Her voice raises above mine, "Then why the hell are you going to give it up?"

I yell over top of her, "Because I don't want to get hurt again!" Alice takes my hand in hers and gives a slight smile, I put my head on her shoulder and she strokes my hair.

"Bella, I know he won't break your heart. This one is a keeper. I promise you this Bella, he is a keeper. You can't live your life predicting who will break your heart, you will never have anyone if you do that you just have to be free and let the wind sweep you up and carry you to your next destination."

"I'm not you Alice." I feel a tear roll down my cheek.

"But you're not a sad person Bella, you're capable of being happy just let go. Let go."

I twirled a purple flower in my hand watching the flecks of white on the petals blend into lines on the flower. I picked at the petals wondering why he sent them, wondering why he needed to remind me of last night when the memories were still fresh in my mind.

It was hard to take what Alice said, it is hard to believe that life still goes on after heartbreak and that new love can blossom so easily. But just because it's there doesn't mean it won't leave me again. Edward was beautiful and talented, he is just wonderful. It's just hard to see what he sees in me, I look in a mirror and I see plain brown hair, boring brown eyes...nothing special.

I'm not insecure I just don't see anything beautiful or special about myself. I sigh and put my hair in a pony tail, I have to work in half an hour and I still have the fifteen minute drive. I got called in, there's a new girl for training, Lauren told me her name was Anya and apparently she was a diva who clearly didn't look like she needed the job, or so Lauren said.

I put on the hideous hat then take it off...it's useless the entire uniform is unflattering and uncomplimentary to my skin tone and hair colour, ugh the things I do for him.

But I'm going to meet her today. The one that stole my precious Eddy from me, it will all be worth it in the end, I touch up my lipstick and smudge my eyeliner a little more. I wait in the car for my first shift to start, she'll be here shortly and I can finally be face to face with the home wrecking whore.

I smile in the mirror and practice my bubbly 'nice girl' act, it will be my most convincing performance yet, Anya Nali a.k.a Tanya Denali you will receive an Oscar for this one, I kiss the fold out mirror and exit my car, Bella Swan has arrived.

Authors Note: Sooooo? The twist has entered the story! Again I apologize for my absence, lets get this story rolling!
