How Did I Fall in Love With You

Chapter 20

Bella's POV

"Alice, come on lets go already!" I asked after the millionth time.

"I'm almost ready, I just need a little bit more of lip gloss. I want to look good for Jasper and you know what they say, you cant rush beauty." she told me patiently, smiling big at the mirror.

"whatever, just hurry up okay? We have been waiting for an hour and I kind of want to leave already." I said trying to sound as calm as possible.

"yeah, yeah.." she said not paying attention to me, but wiping her already pink lips with more glossy coat.

Well after passing out last night at the couch in Edwards soft and comfortable hands, Alice had planned night out for all three couples. She knew that I would object as fast as I could if I were conscious, but since I wasn't she took the opportunity and planned it any way. Alice told everyone where we were going, everyone except me. All she told me that it was going to be a formal but then again casual event tonight, and to look our best.

I tried telling her that I wasn't into the whole dressing up for some party kind of thing and tried to back out as much as I can, but as usual she had some kind of power over me. I even pleaded to Edward that I didn't want to go, cause I'll just end up making a fool of myself. He just laughed at me, assured me that he wouldn't let anyone hurt me, including myself, and smiled at me with his crooked smile. I tried so hard, but again, I came unsuccessful.

With another plump from her very cherry lip gloss, she finally got up from the mirror and turned towards me.

"how do I look?" Alice asked happily.

"the same you did about an hour ago." I told her sarcastically.

"oh Bella, beauty cannot be rushed. You have a lot more to learn." she pointed out.

I took a closer look at Alice and realized she looked absolutely stunning. She wore a simple black classic dress tube top dress that hung perfectly under her figure. Her dress had certain sequences and ruffles that stood out making it an eye popping dress. She had some silver stilettos on that look dangerous from where I was looking. Her short spiky hair was tamed down and parted on the side, making the outfit match even more. She kept her make up smoky, but not too much. All in all she looked absolutely flawless and I bet Jasper would get a heart attack by just getting a glimpse of her, like this.

"Bella? We need to put more lip gloss on you!" she told me running to get just the perfect type of gloss.

She pulled me into the mirror, and I finally saw myself after the Bella-Barbie make over. Alice did an amazing job, with putting the whole look together. It seemed to match and that it was all meant for me. The lady in the mirror looked different from the Bella this morning. The stranger looking back at me wore a tube top dress, on the top half it was black and the bottom was white. It hugged her curves perfectly making all her features pop out. She had her hair in tight curls that hung elegantly down her bare back. She had some dangerous looking stiletto shoes on that completed the outfit perfectly.

"well, you look amazing and so do I so, lets get out of here!" I said anxious to leave.

"okay, okay. We can leave now." Alice said satisfied.

I pulled her towards the door and down the huge white stair case of the Cullen mansion. I tried to watch me step to make sure that I don't trip or fall over for some apparent reason. But all that concentration seemed to be useless because Edward caught a sight of me. His eyes were glued on to my eyes making it hard to concentrate. I can feel the electricity and current that passed through us, even if we didn't touch each other. Just as long as were close, I could feel him.

Edward met me at the bottom of the stairs and eagerly claimed me as his.

"ah, finally. I was beginning to think you were hiding from me." he whispered at my ear and kissed my neck.

"its been a day Edward. I'm sure you can survive that long with out me." I told him smiling.

"Bella, I've spend my whole life with out you. Now that I finally found what I was looking for, I will never let you go." he promised.

I looked deeply in his emerald eyes and I knew he was telling the truth. I pressed my lips onto him and felt the love he was giving. He placed his hands on my waist and steadied me, being sure I wont fall over. His tongue swirled over my whole mouth creating a pleasuring sensation. I never wanted to let him go, but I knew I had to. There were people in the room and plus we couldn't risk Carlisle and Esme finding about our relationship.

I placed my forehead on to his and looked straight at his eyes.

"I love you. I love you so much, I'm willing to give you everything." I promised him.

His eyes started to glow with happiness and excitement.

"Bella, I love you more than life itself . You're my life now."

I smiled at his precious words and he once again placed his lips on to mine. I had no idea how long we have been kissing, but it seemed to annoy both Alice and Emmett because we suddenly heard an audience clearing their throat out of boredom.

"sorry." I apologized, while blushing scarlet red.

"okay guys! Lets go to the club!" Alice sang to all of us.

"what? Wait did you say a club?" I was panicking at the moment she said that.

"it will be fine Bella." she assured me.

Just as I was about to contradict and argue with Alice, but Edward pulled me away from her and we walked out of the house and into our limo that appeared out of nowhere.

We got the club on time and by the looks of it, it seemed pretty popular. The waiting line outside was so long that it stretched to the other side of the block. People were dressed elegantly for dancing and I knew that it was going to be a long night.

Alice told the tall man her name and we were soon lead into the club. Loud music and people on the dance floor was all I could see. It seemed pretty fun, but I was afraid that my clumsiness would cause a really big accident.

We pulled up on the table and it look fantastic. The setting and the way the mood flows through the club, just made it perfect. Especially, spending the night with Edward made it more than perfect

.

Edward pulled me into his arms and that gave me a moment to stare at his piercing emerald green eyes. I loved how his eyes always glow of happiness and comfort every time he looks at me. He placed a finger on my chin and gently placed his lips onto mine. Kissing Edward, was something I never experienced before. The way his perfect, pink lips attracted mine, kept sending waves of pleasure around my body.

I was head over heels for this man.

"mhmm. So shall we dance?" he asked in his delectable voice.

"mhmm. What?" I asked still dizzy from the kiss we shared that I wasn't really pay attention to what he was saying.

Edward chuckled at my response.

"would you care to dance with me?" he asked formally.

I smiled so wide that it seems if I smiled any more my face would stretch apart. He took a good grip of my hand and pulled me in to the dance floor, where all of the other people were dancing. I wouldn't really call it dancing, since most of the people there were practically making out right in front of everyone and touching each other in areas you should only do privately.

Edward was a complete gentlemen. He kept his hands on my waist and we swayed to the music together.

It seemed like minuets rather than hours, but before I knew it I was getting tired from dancing. I needed a break, so I told Edward that I would be in the ladies room to freshen up and he said that he would get us some more drinks.

I went inside of the ladies room and took a good look at myself. My hair was defiantly messed up and I knew that Alice would yell at me later for damaging the hair she took a really long time on. My lips were swollen from violently kissing Edward; I wasn't really bothered by that. My clothes were all wrinkled from the dancing we've done. Over all I still looked like the same Bella I knew.

I took a paper towel to fix my smudge mascara that was messed up on my eye. Suddenly I didn't notice that Rose walked into the ladies room too.

"hey Bells." she greeted me. I can taste the alcohol from her mouth, and she obviously wasn't sober.

"hey, Rose. You alright?" I asked her worried.

"yup! I can handle my self."

"okay. Just making sure. So how are things with you and Emmett?" I asked staring a conversation.

"ohh, well were great! But the thing is I feel like he doesn't want me. Like he's not interested, cause every time I try and make a move he always pushes me away." she told me with complete honesty.

"oh Rose, its okay. I'll talk to him okay? I'll talk to him for you." Reassuring her.

"thanks, Bella. You're a really good friend." she said giving me a friendly hug.

"okay now lets go back to the club and have some fun!" I said enthusiastically.

We walked out of the ladies room and we parted our ways. Rose wanted to get more drinks and I wanted to find out where Edward was. I looked everywhere but I had no idea where he was. I decided to just give up and wait for him, but then I saw Emmett sitting by himself on the stool.

"hey, Emmett!" I greeted him.

He smiled at me warmly and waved.

"what's wrong? You seemed so depressed? Is there something wrong with you and Rose?" I asked worried.

He took a deep breath and I can tell that he was lost in words.

"Bella, I just don't know what to do. I really truly like Rose, but I'm afraid that I will mess things up and she would hate me. I've never felt this way toward another person before. I just really care about her and I want to be with her. I just don't know what to do. This feeling that's inside of me. Its kind of new to me even though we just met, and I cant explain it in words." he admitted.

That made more sense now. Emmett was scared of loosing Rose. That he would do something wrong causing her to leave him. He cared about her.

"well, Emmett it seems like she means a lot to you. You have already developed feelings for her and you really care about her. Emmett she feels that you don't care about her. She feels like she doesn't mean anything to you when Rose is practically your whole world now. don't worry its normal to feel like that. When I first realized that I loved Edward, I tried everything possible for me not to fall for him. I tried avoiding him and anything that had to do with him. But that just caused me more pain, pain for the both of us."

"so what do I do now?" he asked.

"its up to you." I answered back.

He wrinkled his forehead, telling me that he was thinking really hard. Emmett then put a completely different expression on that I was not expecting. His face lit up like a child on Christmas day.

"I know what to do now. I'm going to ask Rose to be my girlfriend. And whatever problem comes along, we'll solve it together." he said smiling with excitement.

"thanks Bells, I owe you big time!" he said kissing me fast on the cheek and running quickly to Rose.

"oh, Emmett! Wait!" I called after him.

"yeah?"

"have you seen Edward? I cant seem to find him."

"well, the last time I saw him, he was with Jasper and Alice." he told me.

"thanks big guy. Now go get the girl of your dreams." I said giving him a quick hug. He smiled at me one last time and left, as fast as the wind.

I walked around the club, trying to think of where Edward could be. I kept walking until I saw Alice and Jasper on the table talking among themselves.

"Bella!" Alice sang as I walked towards them.

"hey guys, have you seen Edward?" I asked politely.

"umm.. We saw him go outside a few minutes ago." Jasper informed me.

I smiled and thanked them, then run as fast as I could to the exit Jasper had seen Edward exit in. My eyes scanned the alley and suddenly I felt my heart drop.

There was Edward, my Edward, kissing some blonde girl, who I was vaguely remember was Tanya, his ex-girlfriend. My heart sank and I couldn't even breathe properly. Tears started to form in my eyes that I couldn't hold back.

"Edward!" I yelled through my sobs and tears.

He pulled away from the girl and saw me with shock in his face. He defiantly did not expect me to find him like this. In the arms of another woman.

I couldn't take it anymore, rage went through me and before I knew it I was yelling at the top of my lungs.

"Bella, please let me explain." he pleaded.

"Eddie, come on lets go." Tanya kept pulling him away, but he stayed in place.

"YES EDWARD, EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THE FUCK YOU WERE KISSING HER? EXPLAIN THAT TO ME."

Edward remained silent and looked straight at me. Of once Edward was lost in his words and had nothing to say to me.

He tried to touch my hand and soothe me but I pulled away.

"I though I could trust you. You said and you made me believe that I could. I loved you Edward and I trusted you with my life, but that all changed. Just leave me alone. Never go near me. What we had, its over." I told him with my voice breaking. With that I left running as far as I could. Away from Edward, away from all the problems.

I couldn't take it anymore. I cant take the pain he was causing me. It felt like my world was crashing down on me. I couldn't breath properly and I felt like there was something inside of me that kept me from breathing properly. I've never felt this emotion before. The pain of distrust and abandonment. It hurt like hell, it was worse than any physical pain that I have ever experienced. More than the time I broke my right leg, lost a lot of blood and fractured almost my whole body. No that's no comparison to the pain I was feeling right now.

I trusted him. I was willing to give him the world, my world. I wanted to give him all of me, but now I knew that I could never change the real Edward. The man I love no longer existed and never did. It felt like he was playing with my heart. And in the end it felt like he ripped out my heart with his bare hands and broke it in half.

I walked in the dark cold night. No matter how tired my legs were, I managed to keep walking no matter what. The pain, it wore on.

I lost track of time and I barely noticed that I was shivering from the lack of clothes I was wearing. I forced myself to keep walking. I had no idea where I would go. I had no home, no family, I had nothing.

Suddenly a car stopped in front of me, blocking my way towards the side walk. The man stepped out of the car, and my surprise it was Jacob.

I ran towards him and gave him the biggest hug.

"oh my god Jake!" I finally felt protected in his arms. The whole in my chest was still there, but it seems that he helped the pain go down and made me forget about what happened this whole night.

"Bella, what are you doing dressed like that? In the middle of the night?" he asked protectively.

"it's a really long and complicated story." I answered honestly.

"someone could have easily taken advantage of you Bella. This is serious. Where that dumb ass you call your husband?" he said roughly.

"Jake please not here. Not now." I asked him weakly. I was not in the mood to talk about Edward yet.

"okay Bella. Lets get you out of the cold." he gestured towards his car and I finally felt comfort after what had happened.

ALICE POV

I was worried to what had happened to both Bella and Edward. It been a while since we've seen both of them together and I was getting worried that there was something that went wrong between them. I had a feeling that there was incredibly wrong going on.

I was getting really worried, so I decided to look for them. I told Jasper that we should split up and find Edward and Bella.

I spotted Emmett and Rose holding hands and enjoying each others company like any normal couple would. I could see the sparks that flowed between them, just like Jasper and I. I walked over towards them and I saw the big smiles on their faces.

"so I'm guessing you two are official" I asked in a playful tone.

They both smiled and turned blush red. Rose turned so red that her whole face practically turned tomato red. For Emmett, lets just say that I had no idea that a man can turn that red.

"yeah we did. How did you know?" Rose asked.

"well the big goofy grins on both your faces gave it away." I joked.

"so what brings you here, Alice?" Emmett asked eager to change the subject.

"oh, well I was wondering if you guys have seen Bella and Edward. I haven't seen them in a while and I'm getting worried." I confessed.

"mhm.. Well I saw Bella in the ladies room about an hour ago." Rose informed me.

"I was talking to her about 45 minuets ago, but she left looking for Edward." Emmett told me.

Mhmm. .where could they possibly be? I mentally asked myself. I thought through the different reasons why none of us can seem to find both of them, when I heard my love call my name.

"Alice! Alice!" Jasper said running to me.

"what is it Jazz?" I asked.

" Edward, he's outside and he looks like a complete mess. I tried asking him what happened but all he said was I love you Bella and I'm sorry."

"what happened?" I blurted out.

"oh my gosh. What could that possibly mean?" Rose asked all of us.

"only one way to find out." Emmett said jumping off his seat, still holding hands with Rose and he walked with her to where Edward was.

We walked to the exit and that's where we found Edward. Jazz wasn't joking when he said that Edward was a mess. He looked so depressed and broken, like he was missing the most important piece. The one that completed himself.

We all rushed to his side and I took my brother into my arms. I didn't care that he was dirty and the movement could have cause damages to the dress I bought. All that mattered was him right now.

"Edward what happened?" I asked him slow and quietly trying not to frighten him.

"Alice it wasn't my fault. Promise me that you'll believe me."

"I promise Edward. Please tell us. " I assured him.

" Tanya followed me here. She wanted to get back together with me. She told me that she would change, and I saw her in the club. Tanya came closer to me and asked if we could take things over. Before I knew it we were outside and she pushed me against the wall and attracted me with her lips. She kissed me, but I didn't kiss her back. I was just about to push her off when Bella saw what happened. Alice she was so mad and disappointed in me. I cant live with out Bella! She's my reason to live."

BELLA POV

I walked through the sand that pushed between my toes. I watched as the sun rose through the sea revealing a wonderful sceneries.

I couldn't sleep after what happened last night. I couldn't sleep when there was problems between Edward and I, mostly because we never had any arguments or fights before. We usually got along no matter what.

My body ached like crazy. My eyes were red and swollen from all the crying I did a few hours ago. My legs were still sore from the walk I did in the dangerous stilettos Alice had made me wear. The dress I was currently wearing were hurting me in places that were no longer comfortable. But all of this was compared to nothing, to the pain I was feeling inside. My heart, felt lost for the first time. I didn't have the hope of the feeling to return once again.

I kept walking in a small human pace, not caring where I went. I kept thinking of what happened last night. How Edward and Tanya were kissing right before my eyes. How it broke my heart to see him kissing another woman when he was with me.

Edward was my life. He was my only reason to live now. Now that both my parents are gone, I have nothing left. Everything I now cared about was gone. First Charlie and Renee and now Edward.

What have I done to deserve this?

I fell down the soft white sand and laid down on my back keeping my eyes on the sun rise.

I honestly had no idea what to do now. Obviously I have to talk to Edward. I needed to talk to him, to give him a chance to explain why he was kissing Tanya. I will talk to him, but not right now. I wouldn't dare face him after the venomous words I gave him yesterday. I didn't have the courage to speak or even go the house right now.

"ughh! What does my life always have to be so complicated?" I yelled to myself.

that's when I felt another person sitting next to me.

"Jacob." I acknowledged his presence.

"Bella, are you sure your alright?" he asked me once again.

"yeah, I'm fine. I just need to alone right now." I told him.

"okay I understand. Hey do you want to go over to your old house to get some things, so that you don't have to go around in that dress all day? It doesn't seem very comfortable."

"yeah, okay lets go get some clothes." I said getting up from the sand.

The ride to my old home was more hurtful than I suspected. I stepped out of the car and walked to see the house. It was now lifeless and empty. When I was here it was a place I could call home, now it was nothing but a painful reminder.

I approached the front door and took the spare key we kept underneath the mat. Jake came with me the whole way, but insisted that he would stay in the first floor while I changed.

I went to my old room and picked up random clothes that I have left behind before moving in with the Cullens. I rushed to the bathroom and stripped off the dress to a more comfortable pair of sweats and flip flops. I put the dress into plastic bag and folded it neatly, then tossed the pair of stilettos in there too.

I ran down stairs eager to leave the abandoned house I once called home. It was nothing but painful reminders of the happiness of the past.

Jake smiled at me with his ever so loving lips.

"ready to go?" he asked me.

"yeah lets go." I told him.

Once we were in the car, I heard the car roar back to life. I figured that was a good time to check my phone for any important things, and I was right.

There were 10 text messages from Alice asking where I was and when I get the messages call her or text her back. Jasper and Emmett texted the same thing. Rose left a voice mail worriedly asking where I was. Lastly Edward left a bunch of voice mails and messages that I was not ready to read yet.

I decided that I should text Alice back to at least ease her worries.

TO: Alice

Hey, I'm alright. I'll be home soon. Don't worry about me.

Thanks. Love you Al.

FROM: Bella

A few seconds later my phone started to vibrate.

TO: Bella

Oh my god! You scared me there for a second! don't ever do that again Bella! You had us all worried.

And when you get home, you have to tell me what going on.

Love you Bella.

FROM: Alice

I shut my phone and tried to forget about all the problems I'm currently in.

Then Jake turned to me with his comforting loving eyes that I loved.

"where we going Bells?"

"anywhere. I don't care. Lets just get away from here." I told him.

Jake nodded and gave me a heart warming smile before driving away.

I know, sorry for leaving you guys with a cliff hanger! But I'll try to write the next chapter soon!

To my disappointment, this story is coming soon to a close ending, but there's still so much to say. :[ but don't worry, I'm writing more stories!

Thanks for the reviews guys! I love it!
