I wasn't supposed to be posting this now, but since everyone was so disappointed with the last chapter, here's a surprise for you guys :)
Also, I'm sorry Edward isn't the best person right now, but he will be someday.
As usual, Lisa and Jenn rock.

The party at Mike's was strange. When I first walked in with Alice by my side, there were tons of people making out in corners, some drinking and others doing childish games like Spin the Bottle. No surprise there, right? Alcohol, hormones and Spin the Bottle seem to be a must have for every party.
The truth was I wasn't even a little bit excited about it. Not with the week I'd, at least. And although I told you that I wanted to go, I was lying. Because, in the end, I thought that I didn't want to have to see Rosalie and Edward together, again. But Alice – oh, poor Alice – dragged me to it, so oblivious to me and my mood swings. She thinks it's because of the weather, and that's because I tell her so. It has become so easy to lie nowadays.
So when we arrived, we grabbed a cheap drink from one of the old, suspicious bottles that were lying around Mike's kitchen and went searching for something fun to do. We decided to go to Mike's backyard, since there seemed to be some commotion there.
When we arrived, however, I immediately spotted Emmett and Edward, having a quiet conversation and sipping beers. I suddenly wondered if Edward knew Emmett had some sort of history with his girlfriend, but, come on… who are we kidding here? Of course he doesn't know. He loves precious Rosalie so much that he would destroy Emmett in a heartbeat. But I kind of have the feeling Emmett would do the same to Edward. Now that I know his secret, I can tell so many things from the way he looks at Rosalie…Especially in the parking lot.
But I dismissed my thoughts as we sat down on the porch swing. A few minutes later, two dudes from our school who smoke pot sat down and tried to chat with us. I learned, later, that their names were Riley and Jasper. They were cool and all, but Riley was hitting on me and he is totally not my type. I long for someone else's attention, not his.
But the same can't be said by Alice. She didn't warm up completely to Jasper, who seemed fond of her, but she didn't push him away either. I guess it's because Alice has a thing for cute musicians.
We were in the middle of a conversation when I heard Edward approaching us, Emmett long gone.
"Bella, are you all right?" he asked, eyeing Jasper and Riley.
"Why wouldn't I be?" I asked a little more sarcastically than intended. Alice, meanwhile, eyed me curiously. Blame it on the alcohol, sister.
I looked at Edward and he nodded once, tightly, and left without a single word. Guess he was satisfied enough, uh?
But do you want to know the good part, diary?
Later, when I was tipsy, holding a drunk, hiccups-y Alice, she told me Edward was jealous.
HA.
Edward. Jealous.
Yeah, right.
He doesn't give a shit about me. Why would he be jealous?
Anyway, this week was the same shit. I ate, slept, did my homework, listened to emo music, thought of Edward and talked to Alice. Dad is too busy with his "fishing trips". And with Emmett… I don't even try anymore.
Mom said she won't be able to come at all to Forks. Her words were, "Phil isn't feeling quite up to it."
Yeah, Mom, blame it on Phil.
