I pulled up to the Cullen mansion to meet Edward for our date. I was about an hour early, but I was hoping Edward would play the piano for me before we left.

I was a little surprised that he wasn't there to open the door for me. He should have heard my truck pull up. Then again, maybe he was getting ready or went for a quick hunt. Alice was on a solo shopping trip that I had somehow avoided. The rest of the family was on a long hunting trip and not due back until late tonight or tomorrow.

I carefully made my way to the porch, knowing that I had no vampires to protect me from my clumsiness at the moment. I entered the house, for they never locked it. I heard giggles coming from Edward's music room. I was glad to hear that Alice was back early. Since Edward was already in the room, I would hear my lullaby sooner. I had the CD and he would hum it to me to lull me to sleep, but there was nothing like hearing it live. I smiled as I entered the room to greet my best friend and the love of my life. Then life as I knew it ended for me.

On top, that's right, on top of the precious piano were a very nude Alice and a boxer clad Edward locked in a rather compromising position. A position that I had only fantasized about being in with Edward. I must have made a noise of some sort, because they both whipped around to see me. They wore looks of regret, shame, and embarrassment.

Before any words could be uttered, I turned and ran to my truck, mercifully not tripping the whole way. I was halfway down the miles long driveway before I saw Alice running next to the passenger side of my truck and Edward running next to the driver's side. Vampire speed or not, they had to get dressed first.

I slammed on the breaks, causing my ancient truck to shudder and groan. Complete rage took over as I jumped out of the truck. I turned to face the traitors. My voice betrayed my emotions as it came out deadly calm.

"Edward, how could you do this to me? What wasn't good enough? I was willing to die for you, to give you everything I could and you betrayed me like this? And your brother, too. Why?"

"Oh, I'm so sorry, my Bella-"

"Let us clear something up. As of ten minutes ago, I'm no longer your Bella."

He rightfully dropped his head in shame.

"Bella, I am so sorry. I was so overwhelmed and frustrated by my sexual feelings for you, that I thought I would go insane. Alice became my confidant about it all. I wanted you so badly, but I was afraid to hurt you if I lost control. Over time Alice and I became closer and closer. We eventually fell in love."

"Fell in love with my best friend, huh? Oh Alice, thank you for helping Edward with his problem when he wouldn't let me. What a pal."

Her tiny body shook with silent, dry sobs.

"Edward, there is one last thing that I would like to let you mull over. If you were to think about my feelings, really think about them, would I rather live like this knowing I lost you yet again or die while making love to the man I love, check that, loved. Think about that for a bit."

Edward opened his mouth to say something, as did Alice, but no words came from either one.

I got back into my truck and left. I drove aimlessly and I made sure that I kept changing my destination so that Alice wouldn't see me if she took a break from screwing Edward to check.
