"But that still doesn't explain why you were working late on Christmas Eve. Who were you planning on spending Christmas with?"

"Nobody," I replied coldly.

A little taken back she answers, "But I thought your parents lived in the city."

"They did," I said sadly. "They were killed last December in a car accident."


Chapter 4: Answers Part 2

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

I wasn't exactly close to Edward and Alice's parents but the times that I'd met them, they seemed lovely. Their mother, Esme, loved to cook and often did so for the Salvation Army or the Church. She and their father were extremely charitable. Carlisle volunteered his time at the homeless shelter to give medical care to the people there. He worked at the hospital and was well known around town. I just couldn't believe they were gone.

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry Edward. I had no idea." I say to him sorrowfully. I can't imagine how I'd feel if something happened to my parents.

"It's alright, really." he tells me, trying to calm me down. I'm only now aware of the small tears falling from my eyes "The doctors said that it doesn't look like they suffered much. They died on impact."

"You don't have to answer, but what happened?" I ask.

He signs, readjusting himself on the couch so that he's facing me, averting his eyes so he's looking at his hands. His face is tense and I immediately regret asking.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked," I say, trying to calm us both.

"No it's okay, really. I just haven't talked about it in a while." Finally he looks at me; his eyes staring into mine as if looking for something. I don't look away, letting him take his time. He nods his head, satisfied that he has found what he was looking for, and carries on with his story. "On the 15th, they went out to lunch. There really wasn't an occasion for it, I think they just wanted to go out on their own and spend time together. Alice was getting married the next day and we were all supposed to go to a rehearsal dinner at her house that night. Our parents never showed. Near the end of the dinner after everyone had gone and it was just Alice, Jasper, and me, we got a call from the hospital saying that our parents had been involved in an accident. We didn't even hear the rest of the call because by then we all ran to the car and rushed to the hospital. The doctor said they were hit by a drunk driver and the car smashed into a telephone pole. My parents and the driver were both found dead at the scene." He stays silent for a moment. "Alice was so depressed, she couldn't stand getting married the day after and the wedding was postponed. That day was supposed to be the happiest day of her life, but instead turned into the worst."

"But I thought Alice was married?" I ask, confused. I definitely remember Edward mentioning her husband.

"She is now, after finding out about her pregnancy back in October, she quickly planned arranged another wedding so she could still have it on the 15th. She didn't want her child to be brought into this world with unmarried parents." he said, smiling.

I laugh at his sudden change of emotion. "You're very excited to become an uncle, aren't you?"

He laughs, "You could say that."

He'd make an amazing uncle.

"My turn to ask questions" he states, mischievously.

"Ask away," I confidently answer back.

"How did you recognize me?"

Crap! Think Bella, think!

"You're Alice's brother, it's hard not to know you. She talks about you a lot. Besides, we had a lot of classes' together back in high school." Smooth. I think he bought it.

"Oh," he whispers, almost sounding disappointed.

Before I could even catch myself I add, "And I also may have had a slight crush on you in the beginning of the year." I wince as soon as I say it, why can't I know when to shut up?!

"Did you really?" he asked smugly.

I blushed, mutely giving him his answer. How much embarrassment could I bring to myself?

Edward just laughed while I stared at him bewildered, unsure whether he was laughing at my crush or my embarrassment.

"You know what's funny?" he asked in amusement.

"The fact that I can blush ten shades of red in a matter of seconds?" I say before I can stop myself. I really can't shut up.

"There is that that," he says, chuckling and causing me to slap his arm. He just laughs harder. "No, I mean I was crushing on you too. Who knows... maybe we could have made a cute couple?" He says, not laughing anymore - now instead he's blushing.

I nod and then look around the room, catching sight of the clock. "We have to go!" I say, jumping up and pulling him off the sofa.

"Wait, what are you talking about?" he says, confused. I can't believe I forgot to tell him.

"I may have told Dad that I was at your house and that I would bring you over to the house for dinner since they invited us. Say you'll go?" I ask him hopefully, putting on my best puppy dog face.

"I wouldn't want to impose,-"

"You wouldn't be imposing," I say, cutting him off. "You're welcome to come. I mean you saved me out there. It's the least I could do." I tease, hoping to persuade him.

He stops and thinks for a moment and then his face breaks into a smile. "Okay, I'll go. But you might want to get some of your OWN clothes on before we go."

I'm confused by what he means until I look down at myself.

I'm still wearing an over-sized sweatshirt and a pair of boxers.

Perfect.

After Bella got dressed - which took a significant amount of time - we ran down to my car, racing to see who could get there first. Bella won but only because a stupid plant got in my way. The car ride, however, was fairly quiet. It wasn't an uncomfortable silence, though, so it didn't bother me.

Once we got there, Bella ran out of the car and jumped into her father's arms before I could even open my door. She looked so happy to see them, the smile on her face causing me to smile too.

"Oh, and I almost forgot," she said, motioning for me to come forward. "Mom, Dad, you remember Edward."
