DISCLAIMER: Twilight is not mine.

I'm back! Sorry it took so long...I had a volleyball camp in Colorado and then I just worked a special needs camp for a week...really touching and cool. And then school started...enough said =P

So here we go

Epov

I stalked into my room and slammed the door so hard that the picture frames in my room shook. "Dammit!" I muttered. Telling Bella I loved her right after she had told me her whole story was idiotic. I really just wanted to smack my head repeatedly and then call it a night.

The door creaked behind me as Jasper stuck his head in, "Hey, you alright?"

I sat down on my bed and shook my head. I gingerly laid my head in my hands and groaned. Jasper came and sat next to me. We sat there in silence for 10 minutes before the silence finally got to Jasper. "Edward, what is the matter? I'm your older brother...you can tell me anything. Wait. Almost anything." I cracked a smile at that and lifted my head slightly and looked at him, "I told Bella I loved her."

Silence.

Jasper's eyebrows furrowed, "And?"

I let out a deep breath, "And...She, " Jasper gasped, "She didn't say it back did she? Oh Edward my man."

Emmett came slamming through my room, "Oh Edward my man what?"

Jasper looked up at Emmett, "He told Bella he loved her and she didn't say it back!"

Emmett's eyes widened, "What? Seriously? How? When? Where? Why?"

"Guys, " I murmured, but they still kept going on. Emmett was muttering, " I love Bella, why would she kill Eddies man power by not saying it back...geez. I'm so sorry dude." While Jasper was pacing back and forth, "Oh no. Bella, dear God, I knew she had some issues but this is just..." I threw up my arms, "Guys, " I yelled, "GUYS!"

They both stoped and looked at me, "What?"

"She did say it back."

Emmett smiled, "Way to go Edward Bro, " as he high fived me, "I knew you two kids had it in you."

Jasper just stood there, "Then whats the problem?"

I shook my head...everything. I have done everything wrong...and somehow she still cares enough about me...even after her horrible past.

"Nothing...I'm just over thinking it." Emmett raised one eyebrow at me, "Over thinking what bro? Its love...you just have to roll with it."

My brother Emmett was unpredictable. One minute he was the biggest ass on earth rambling on and on about some stupid video game...and the next he was this sensible guy lecturing his younger brother about the heart.

"And I'm not kidding When I say roll with it Eddikins...It makes it much more pleasurable," He smiled a really creepy and disgusting grin.

The ass ladies and gentlemen returns.

I rolled my eyes, "I just wish I could go back and take things slower and say what I really felt at a better time...not when she was sobbing and telling me her horrific past..God I'm such an ass."

Jasper sat down and patted my back, " But you had the balls to tell her. She will appreciate that bro."

Emmett sat down next, "Tru Dat."

I raised my eyebrow and looked at Emmett...tru dat? Jasper leaned over to me, "Our you sure he wasn't adopted? Or at least dropped a lot when he was a child?" I snickered, "Maybe both."

Emmett pouted, "You two are mocking me."

"Yup," I chanted as Jasper slurred out, "Noooooo." I smirked ...they may be idiots but they will always be my brothers.

"Sooo.. " Jasper started, " What cha thinking about for your challenge?"

Emmett started to jump up and down almost squealing with excitement, "Pick me! Pick me!" I stared at him in amazement..god he was bipolar.

Jasper turned towards me, "Edward?" Emmett glowered and then shut up waiting to hear mine.

"Well I just got us tickets to Vegas." I smiled.

Emmett and Jasper both gaped at me, "No shit?" "Your flippin kidding me?"

I shook my head and smiled, "Emmett?"

Emmett had this huge grin on his face, "We are going Boating!"

Jasper and I looked at him, "Boating?"

"Uhhhhhhu! I can't tell you where but I'm so stoked!"

Boating? Vegas totally kicks boating butt.

"Jasper? What is your challenge?"

"We are going on A week long camping trip."

Emmett froze, "A week long? Do you realize we have three girls participating on this trip...including two of the girlyist girls in the world? Rose and Alice?"

"Hey!" I piped up, "What are you calling Bella?"

Emmett grinned, "Bella's like a dude, dude. She can hold her own..shes got lady balls."

Lady balls? Lady Balls? Jasper was snickering into his hand. I glared at him, "Lady balls? God Emmett its amazing you get laid." I walked into my room and shut the door..lady balls? Really?

Through the door I hear Emmett say, "Wait? What does Bells lady balls have to do with me getting laid? I'm so confused!"
