EPOV (Chapter 13)

We sat in the living room and watched a movie. Or at least they did, try as I might to concentrate on the movie, my thoughts go back to last night. I can't believe what happened. I could still feel my blood boil whenever I remember that guy who harassed Bella, I was annoyed that I only got to punch him twice. I would really like to break his face for even laying a hand on my Bella. Wait, she's not MY Bella. I lost that right years ago. I don't know why I just didn't tell her the real reason. I knew she would understand, but I was scared, I even dated Tanya as part of my plan. I was stupid, I know. Emmett and Rose made sure that I knew that, I could only regret my actions, but what's done is done. I only hope that I could make it up to her.

Alice and Jasper were sitting on the floor. Cuddling and watching the movies. It was sickening to see how in love they are, even after 4 years. Yeah, you can say I'm bitter. Whatever. These two are the only people, besides Bella, who don't know the real reason why I broke up with her. When Emmett found out, he wanted to beat me up, but after I explained to him, he sort of understood but he did say that he thought I was stupid because breaking up never solves anything.

Now here we are, in Bella's living room, with her dad in the house. It's scary, I thought they might want to shoot me but it hasn't happened yet and Bella was talking to me, I didn't talk much, even to Bella, I can't bear to see the flash of pain in her eyes whenever we talk. I only hope she can see the despair and regret in my eyes whenever we talk, I'm ready to do anything to get her back and if I do get her back, I won't let her get away.

I will try to be Bella's friend first, I want her to be able to trust me again and I need to earn Alice, Jasper and Charlie's trust again. I would do anything just to have her back. But first, I need to tell Alice and Jasper the real reason.

I tapped Alice on her shoulders.

"Alice?" I whispered.

"What?" she said and glared at me.

"Can I talk to you and Jasper later, before we go? I have something important to tell you" I told her.

"Sure" she replied, less icy.

I relaxed a little, if Alice could understand, I'm sure Bella will. And I need the help of her best friends in order to get her back.

Oh no, Jane! I need to get to her good graces. Hopefully I will, after I talk to Alice and Jasper. I'll get her number and set up a meeting so Bella doesn't know.

I hope everything works out in the end.

"You guys want anything? I'm going to the kitchen" I asked as I stood up.

"Dude, more popcorn" Emmett said.

"Water please" Rose and Jas said.

"How about you Alice?"

"Nah, I'm good. Thanks though" she said not looking up.

I went into the kitchen and saw Bella preparing lunch.

"Hey" I said softly and headed to the refrigerator to grab bottles of water.

"Hey yourself" her melodic voice answered.

"You want help? You've been slaving over us since last night"

"No, no. I want you guys to relax. And besides, I like taking care of my family" she said with a small smile.

"Take out every now and then won't kill us Bells" I teased.

"I know, but I refuse to let my family eat take out, when I'm perfectly capable of cooking" she said with a hint of irritation.

"Sheesh, you sound like Esme, woman" I laughed.

"We like taking care of others, what's wrong with that?" she asked with a small giggle.

"Nothing. But I do hope that you let others take care of you too" I said and walked out of the kitchen.

My heart was beating fast. That was just like the old times. Talking, teasing, laughing. Easy and simple. I walked out before I said anything else, I might love her still but I'm sure she's not yet ready to hear what I have to say.

I walked back into the living room and handed Rose and Jas their bottles of water and I took a big drink out of mine.

"Hey! Where's my popcorn?" Emmett asked

"I didn't make one, Bella's preparing lunch already" I said.

"Oh" was is smart reply.

Alice looked at me and stood up. "I'll go see if Bella wants help"

Everyone mumbled their agreement and continued to watch the movie. I was still busy slowing my heart down. We had a playful banter and I had to scare her by telling her to let us, specifically, ME, to take care of her. I can be an idiot sometimes. Well, most of the time. Leaving Bella, lying to her, calling her and hanging up on her, watching her in Les Miserable secretly. Oh, I felt her pain there. It was very palpable for me. I guess it's time to man up, but how does one do it? How do you get back your soulmate after letting her go and possibly shattering her? Don't get me wrong, I was heartbroken too, after prom Tanya dumped me, she saw that I still loved Bella and somehow, she knew that I was using her. So, back to the problem, how do I get back to Bella's good graces? I'll definitely need help, Alice, Jane and Rose. I need their help. Preferably now, before someone else can take Bella away from me.

"Eddie?" Rose asked.

"Yeah?" I was distracted.

She looked at me like I was crazy. "What?!" I asked

"I called you Eddie and you didn't scream, shout or even flinch. What is wrong with you?" she asked again.

"I have to get Bella back. I need her back." I whispered.

"So get her back"

"It's not that easy Rose. I broke her heart. I left her without the real reason" I said, damn it. I could cry right now.

"Tell her Edward. Tell her your reasons; I'm sure she'll understand. She still loves you, you know? I can see it in her eyes. Whenever I look at the two of you, I see your pain from being separated from each other but I still see the love you have for each other. Bella's may not be obvious, but it's there. I swear, you just have to make it up to her" she said and placed a hand on my knee as a sign of comfort.

"Thanks Rose. I hope you and Em are willing to help me get Bella back." I smiled at her.

"We are more than willing dude!" Emmett said.

"Thanks guys, now I need to get Jasper, Alice and Jane's approval first before I go to Charlie" I stood up and went to Jane's room.

I knocked and hoped that she was awake.

"Come in"

"Hey Jane" I said and closed the door behind me.

"Cullen" she nodded.

"I don't know how to do this but, I need your help" I said sheepishly

"As much as I like helping people, why would I help you?" she asked as she pointed a finger at me.

"Good point. But this is for Bella."

"I'm listening" she nodded, encouraging me to continue

"I want to get her back"

Her eyes widened in shock and she started to protest but I held my hands up.

"Please listen first. I need to get her back. I'm empty without her. I know I left her but I had my reasons, I won't tell you guys because I want Bella to know first, but please understand that I am sincere and I regret leaving her. It is a big mistake, if I could go back and change things I would do it in a heartbeat, we would probably be married by now with a baby on the way if I didn't leave her, then again, she wouldn't have this success. But I need her back. I've been a mess. I pursued writing because I know Bella likes literature, I also still write music. I've written a lot for her these past four years. Please Jane, I need your help to get her back" I begged.

She nodded. "I can see your sincerity Cullen, but don't expect me to help you right away. I need you to prove yourself to her and everyone else that you are serious about getting her back"

"I am serious and once I get her back, I plan on making her my wife. Thank you Jane. This means a lot. I have to leave now, I still have to talk to Alice and Jasper, please don't tell Bella that we talked? Not yet anyway?" I pleaded.

"Sure thing lover boy. Now get out of my room" she joked.

I got out and was assaulted by Alice.

"What were you doing in Jane's room?" she asked.

"Where's Jasper?"

"No, answer my question."

"I will, but please get Jasper. I need to talk to both of you" I said.

"C'mon" she led the way to her room and Jasper was there.

The same thing happened, I explained, they didn't believe me at first but I think they saw how desperate I was so they both agreed to help me.

I hope and pray to all the Gods and deities and other heavenly beings that I get Bella back.
