I Can't Believe I Love You
Chapter 1: Edward's Break-Up
BPOV
My name is Bella Swan and my best friend is Edward Cullen. I was totally in love with him for the tiniest fraction of a second be fore I found out this shocking discovery- He's bisexual.
(FLASHBACK)
I followed Alice Cullen home from school. She had invited me to her house, seeing as I was a new student in Forks High School. We were climbing up the stairs to her room and the walls were lined with pictures. I recognized Emmett, Alice's brother, and Jasper and Rosalie Hale, but I didn't recognize the other three. The handsome man with the blond hair, the woman with caramel colored hair and the gorgeous boy with the beautiful bronze hair.
"Who are they?" I asked, pointing them out in what seemed to be a family picture.
"Oh. Those are my other family members. That's Carlisle," she pointed at the blonde man, "My adoptive father. Esme," the woman, "My mother. And…Edward," the gorgeous boy, "My brother."
"Where are they?" I asked curiously.
"Carlisle's a doctor, he's at the hospital. Esme's busy designing a house for a friend of hers. And, well, I don't really know about Edward."
Alice just shrugged and continued to walk up the stairs. I began to follow her when she stopped and turned around.
"By the way, Bella, Edward's bi."
(END)
Yup. Believe me; it didn't take very long to believe that. Edward came home an hour later and we totally hit it off. He didn't seem gay, but I took Alice's word for it. He became my best friend. Being gay didn't stop him from doing all the manly stuff that guys do, like, playing baseball with his friends. He just… dated guys and a few girls but I never met one of them. Just because he had a different orientation didn't mean that he wasn't a heartbreaker. He was so gorgeous that the girls still chased after him; even after they found out he was into guys. Once they heard the word 'bisexual' they flew after him like a bunch a ducks running after breadcrumbs. A few months later, I started dating Jacob Black. He was very sweet but he didn't like me hanging with the Cullens because of Edward's "reputation". Gosh, once you're gay, everyone seems to hate you. But that didn't stop me from coming over to the Cullen's and chilling with Edward and Alice. Speaking of which, I was heading over there right now.
I knocked on the door and Emmett opened it.
"HI BELLA!"
He gave me a big bear hug that lifted my feet off of the ground.
"How's it go, Bells?" he asked.
"Same old, same old."
I followed Emmett into the dining room and threw my bag on the table.
"Bella!" Alice came rushing down the stairs, holding a black dress and a green dress.
"Hey, Alice."
She held the dresses towards me.
"Which do you think looks best on me? This one or this one?" she asked. I shot a questioning glance at Emmett.
'Date with Jazz,' he mouthed. I nodded in understanding. Alice and Jasper had been going out for a year now and I believe today was their anniversary.
"The green one. It matches your eyes," I told her.
"Thanks Bella!" She hugged me tightly and dashed back up the stairs. I rubbed my shoulders.
"For a devilish little pixie she sure can hug like a giant teddy bear," I commented. Emmett looked offended for a second.
"Bella!" he whined. I giggled.
"Oh, Emmett. You know you're the biggest, baddest teddy bear in the whole world!" I spread my arms to symbolize the… largeness. Emmett grinned like a child on Christmas. That's when I realized he had on kitchen mittens.
"Um… Em, are you cooking something?" I asked.
"Yeah."
"I didn't know you cooked," I said. He shrugged.
"Me neither."
I raised an eyebrow. Emmett and cooking never went well together. Seeing as there were many flammable objects in the kitchen. And with my clumsiness I might become one of those objects.
We both heard the familiar sound of a Volvo park in the Cullen's garage and the front door slam. Edward came bustling in. He had on a blank expression. Once he saw me, though, he lightened up a bit.
"Hey Bells."
He walked over and kissed me on the forehead. It was nothing more than a friendly thing we had going on ever since we became best friends.
"Hi, Edward," I greeted.
Edward nodded and walked into the living room, throwing his coat on the table before plopping down on the couch and turning on the TV.
"Uh-oh. Little Eddie got duped," said Emmett before he walked into the kitchen. I walked into the living room and sat next to Edward. He glanced at me. I cocked my head to the side.
"What's wrong?" I asked. Edward sighed.
"It's nothing, Bella," he answered. My brow furrowed in annoyance.
"There is something wrong, Edward. I'm your best friend! You can tell me," I told him.
He shook his head. I crossed my hands across my chest and stood up with a huff.
"Where are you going?" he asked me.
I began to walk towards the dining room. Edward got up and ran after me.
"Since Emmett's cooking, Alice is dressing herself up and you don't want to talk then I guess no one needs me here."
I picked up my bag and pulled it over my shoulder.
"Bella," he whined.
I chose to ignore him.
"I'm going to check on Jake," I said. I knew Edward was trying not to growl at Jacob's nickname.
I walked past him but he caught my wrist, spun me around and placed a hand on my waist. This would be one of those moments where couples kiss and make up. Two problems. One, we weren't a couple. Two, our kisses were part of our friendship.
"Don't do this to me, Bells," he pleaded. I frowned.
"I'm going to see Jacob."
This time, Edward visually blanched at the name. He and Jake weren't exactly on the best terms. Those two never got along because Jacob didn't want him to be 'contaminated by his abnormal orientation'. His words, not mine. (A/N I don't have anything against homosexuals. I think their AWESOME! I have two gay friends, so don't judge a book by its cover. Oh, and for those of you who have limited vocabulary, Jacob's phrase means 'become dirty by his gay-ness'. Back to the story!)
"Why?" he asked, he brought me a bit closer. I looked up at his face and he was beginning to pout.
"Oh! Not the face, Edward!" I begged. He knew my weaknesses. Fortunately, so did I.
"I'm not going to give in. I'm going to drive to La Push and give Jacob a BIG wet kiss on the mouth. He's the only one who listens to me around here, now!" I huffed. Edward looked down at me, he looked so sad. I traced the side of his face with my index finger. He closed his brilliant green eyes for a moment.
"What's wrong, Edward?" I asked quietly.
"Mario and I broke up," he said. I frowned.
"What? Why?!" I near yelled, backing up. Mario and Edward had been going out for some time. Even though he was a guy I thought he and Edward were good for each other. He looked away.
"We had a big fight and we said a bunch of hurtful things. Now I'm single again," he told me.
"Oh, Edward!"
I stepped forward and hugged him tightly, he hugged back.
"It'll be okay, darling," I said. He pulled back and planted a chaste kiss on my lips. It was his way of showing friendly affection I always believed. I smiled at him and he gave me that crooked smile of his.
"I know that now."
"Good."
"By the way, did you say Emmett was cooking?" he asked.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
BOOM!
"OH SHIT! ROSE! GET THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER!"
"I'll take that as a 'yes'."
