"I'm glad I met you." I whispered to Riley.
Yes, we are at Sam and Em's. Riley decided that we sell our apartment so we did and got some good money out of it. We are laying on our bed in our room with Alice shopping with Emily and the rest of the pack is watching 'Whose line is it anyway' reruns.
"I hate how we met though." He always looked in pain when we talk about this subject.
"Riley, I don't. I'm just happy I didn't die before I met you." He growled and left the room. I groaned in frustation and hit the bed. Careful not to break it. Alice came in and smiled sadly. She sat on the bed next to me and rubbed my back.
"What got his panties in a bunch this time?" She joked. I even cracked a smile. When did she get home?
"I just wanted talk about how we met and all and he gets all pissed." I shook my head biting my lip.
"Wow, sorry, Bella." She paused but continued. "Um, I hate to do this but I have to go back home for something." I grabbed my keys and dragged Alice out of the house.
"I don't care. Jasper isn't gonna touch us. I still have his power." She smiled and danced in her seat and started humming with me humming also. What the hell are we humming anway?
"Thanks again Bella." Said Alice when I pulled in front of the Cullen house with them all out front.
"Did they know we were coming?" I asked Alice turning off the truck.
"I don't know. Heard the truck I guess." I nodded and jumped out with Alice. Carlisle hugged us happy we are safe. Well Alice is safe. You know, with her hanging around the wolves?
I didn't see Jasper though. Probably scared of me now that he has someone after him. ME! Ha. Prick.
"What did you exactly need?" Rosalie smiled holding up a bunch of bags. I sighed and told them I was taking a walk and call me when they are ready.
About half way into the walk I heard breathing. I spun around and saw Edward. Looking down nervously.
"Hey." I smiled.
"Hey." He smiled back and took a step and was now completely in front of me. "Can I tell you something?" Here we go again.
"Edward, I know you love me. I love you too, but maybe not like I used to." I admitted shyly. I looked into his eyes which looked deadly.
"You fuckin' love me. I know you do. Just admit it and we can be happy together." He gritted through his teeth.
"If it were that easy, Edward, I would've done it along time ago. But I didn't." My life was like a soap opera with who I love and who I should be with.
"Say you love me." He stepped forward.
"I love you." True.
"Say not as a pity friend either." Another step.
"Not as a pity friend either." True.
"Say nothing will ever change that." Another step.
"Nothing will ever change that." True.
"Say one day everything will work out. For us." Another step.
"One day everything will work out. For us." True. At least I hope.
"Say you'll kiss me." Another step. Now he was breathing on my forehead. His warm breathe was like animal blood. You'll always need it.
"I'll kiss you." True. So damn true. He leaned down and his lips were on mine. The whole weight on my shoulders lifted off and I felt care free. Relaxed.
We pulled away and we both smiled.
I didn't feel guilty, because I know everything he said was true. Not one thing was a lie. I do love him. He wasn't some pity friend. Nothing will ever change for how I feel about him. I know everything will work out in the end for us. If god had our side it would. No matter what we ended up as. I did kiss him. I never wanted my lips to leave his. Never in a million years. But I know I didn't have that long.
"Alice is done." He smiled. I pulled away from him and walked back to the house. They all were excited since I have Jasper's power. But they were hiding it well. Not that well. Edward came back and said bye to Alice and I.
We both got in my truck and I was in a complete daze.
"So, how was it?" Alice clapped. They all broke into cheers but I knew it isn't going to be that easy. Never is that easy. Always has some complicated thing. Like I said, soap opera.
"Perfect. Absolutely perfect." I whispered to Alice when we pulled out of the drive.
"What are you gonna do?" She simply asked.
"I don't know. Runaway and become a hermit." She looked at me in a disappointment. "What?"
"Bella, all you have to do is follow your heart. If you don't, then maybe neither of them are worth it." True that. I ran my hands through my hair and pulled over onto the shoulder.
"I need Edward. I want Riley."
"Bella, they have totally different meanings. Like saying, I need medicine but I don't want it. Want is not your need!" She started getting impatient.
"But I need the real meaning Alice. Not what you think the meaning is." I groaned in frustration.
"Alright. Want: Is something that is desired. Need: Is something that is necessary." I nodded. But then it clicked.
"So, I should be with Edward?" I need to get over this info! I keep going back to it! Keep moving forward! Ugh, not my modo.
"Didn't we just go through that? Need means it is necessary, want is something desired! So, yes, you should be with Edward!" She raised her voice.
"Okay, let me just let this kick in." She nodded and I continued to drive.
Once at Sam and Em's I went right back to my room and Riley was reading a book.
"Hey, can we talk?" I asked him nervously.
"Bella, yeah we can, but, Bells, I love you and I'm completely sorry." He pleaded.
That's when the guilt kicked in.
A/N: Ha-ha, I'm so mean. Especially when this is the last chapter and I'm notstarting the sequel for a while. Ah, review and tell me what you think! Ha-ha, sorry. NOT! REMEMBER TO TELL YOUR FRIENDS!
