SM OWNS IT ALL.
I down two beers the minute we get to Jasper's house.
"Hey, slow it down, Bells; it's still a little too early to get shitfaced." Rose calls from across the yard. I give her the finger and she laughs.
We've all been friends since high school—Emmett, Rose, Alice, Jasper, Angela, Ben, Mike and…Edward. They all know what went down with me and Edward, but I would never make them choose sides. It's not their problem to get in the middle of.
And speaking of which, I'm getting pretty nervous. He's not here yet, but he will be. Everyone is waiting for him, even though they've already reunited.
"Look what the cat dragged in!" Jasper calls. I tense.
He's here. He's really fucking here.
"Get over here you sexy bitch." Emmett yells and I hear Edward laugh.
It's been such a long time since I've heard that laugh.
My heart is pounding furiously in my chest. I can't figure out if it wants to jump out and hug Edward or punch him in the balls. I'm rooting for the latter.
I take a deep breath and turn around to look at him. He's beautiful and he's gotten some muscle on his chest and arms.
My heart stops when his eyes meet mine.
It hurts everywhere.
