Dear Bella, 

Ever sense that day when we promised each other that we would be there for each other no matter what, I have tried my best to be there for you. I have protected you from things. I have been there for you when you felt sad, scared, worried, alone. I have put you first in every single part of our lives. But for some reason seeing you with my best firend kills me. It shouldn't but it does. I guess im just not ready to loose my sister. But then also my best friend at the same time, its hard. I don't want you and Ryan to stop seeing each other. I just need time to think about it all. I need time to get my head over all my wants and think about whats best for you, and for Ryan. I love you so much. I miss you soooo muc. But I also know I hurt you. I cant risk hurting you again. I want you to be happy. But the only way I can make sure you are safe and not getting hurt is if I stay away. It is not your fault its mine. I love you so much! 

                                                                                                                                          Love Owen 

Bella's POV 

I read the note and tears were falling down my face. It is not his fault and he needs to know that. I could write him a letter but that's not powerful enough. I put down the note and walk out of my room and bursted into Owens. He was crying in his bed. "OWEN RICHARDS! I AM NOT HURT BY YOU! YOU DID NOT HURT ME! IF ANYTHING I HURT YOU! I LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH OWEN! YOU NEED TO NOT PUSH YOURSELF AWAY! WE BOTH KNOW WE NEED EACH OTHER! WE BOTH KNOW YOU ARE AN AMAZING PERFECT BROTHER THAT I WOULDNT TRADE THE WORLD FOR! AND IF ME NOT BEING AS CLOSE TO RYAN HELPS US THEN THATS WHAT I WILL DO!" Owen then got out of his bed and pulled me into a hug. We were both crying our eyes out. 

After about an hour of being in each others arms we sat down on the bed. "Im so happy you came into my room!" Owen said smileing at me. "Well I don't think I would of ever seen you again." I said still hugging him. We then laid in his bed watching movies. I then fell asleep. I later woke up in my bed. I looked at my phone to see snaps from Ryan. One was him saying "Hey where did you go?" The next said "I hope your ok! People said you left." The next said "Hey im coming over!" Then the next said "Me and Owen went to the skate park! Call me when you wake up! Your welcome for carrying you to your bed ;)"  I then realized I was blushing. Oh gosh I really like Ryan. All of a sudden I realized someone was standing in the doorway. "ooooo someone has a crushhh!!! Spill!!!" Griffin said jumping onto my bed. 

"Well I guess I really like Ryan...." I said blushing hard core. "I herd from a little birdy that you and Ryan kissed! YOU HAD YOUR FIRST KISS!!!! How was it!?!?!?!?!" I laughed. "It was great!" "Well what are you guys? Are you dateing?" "Well no.... we decided to just know that we like each other and see where things go..." Griffins face lights up. "NO WAYYYY!!! YOU SOUND EXACTLY LIKE YOUR MOTHER!!! Ava would come to me all the time and tell me how much she liked Josh. But then one day she told me that they confessed there love for each other and that they were just gonna see where things go. That's crazy its going on with you and Ryan. I hope it all works as good as them as well." Griffin said smiling at me. Wow that's crazy to think about. I cant believe that my own mom and dad had the same thing happen between them. I hope things work out with me and Ryan. 

Griffin got up and left. He left the room then turned back around. "Don't forget to call him!" Griffin said as he walked down stairs. Wait what!? How did he know I needed to call Ryan? I then picked up the phone and Facetimed Ryan. He picked up right away. "Yay your awake!" I seen Ryan smile. "Yeah! Want me to come and meet you guys there?" I asked looking at Ryan. "No its ok were on our way home now." "Ok im gonna shower quick. Ill see you guys here!" "Okay bye mrs. blush!" When he said that I realized I was still blushing. Oh crap. I hung up and pluged my phone in. I grabbed a towel and some pjs. I went into the bathroom and took a shower. I got out and got dressed. I blow dryed my hair and put it in a messy bun. I sat on the bed and went on my phone. 

There was a knock at the door. "Its Open!" Then I look over and see Ryan. "Ryannn!!!" "Belllaaa!!!!" He then runs to my bed and jumps onto it. He reaches over to give me a hug. He hugs me. I hug back when his sweaty forhead touches me. "Ewww your gross and sweaty!" I said whinning. "Yeah I need to get home..." I then frowned. "Noooo I have bearly seen you all day." I know... but that's kinda cause you ditched me at school today. I never got a chance to ask if everything is ok? Are you doing ok?" "Yeah I guess so... I was just not all there today. But everything is back to normal now." "Good! So that means maybe we can hang out tomorrow at school?" Did Ryan just ask me out? What? Oh my gosh! "Hey Bella! Hello? Are you there?" Ryan asked waving his hand in my face. "Oh yeah sorry.... Yeah Id love to hang out with you!" "Good! See you tomorrow night Richards!" He then kissed my forehead and left. I was blushing so much. I couldn't believe that he called me Richards and kissed my forehead! AHHH!!! 

I think I'm falling more and more for Ryan!
