Brother, I Love You
You And Himself

"Bella Aberald's. I love you."

Dhegs!!

The blonde girl's heart almost stopped beating. When he got a statement that he had never expected all this time. His body instantly petrified. Staring at the young man who was a year different from his age in front of him with eyes that were difficult to understand.

Silent.

They just stared at each other without being able to speak. It was as if from their eyes they could already speak. Bella's tongue became muffled, her voice stuck in her throat causing her voice to be held back unable to come out. The girl could only open her mouth without being able to say a word. Till..

Krrieg!!!

The sound of the bell entering the classroom finally interrupted him from sculpting and made him re-conscious also moving.

"A-a-i, i.. I-i, i-it.. Edward. We have to get in now. Comeing! We'll be late." Elak Bella can only stammer.

"Bell–"

"I go first, Edward. You should also return as soon as possible!" Cut Bella turned away and ran as fast as possible leaving the young man regardless of Edward snorting in disappointment.

Tap Tap Tap...

Brakk!!

Only Edward remained in the rooftops. Staring at the door of the roof that was closed again that made Bella's figure disappear in the swallow into it.

The howl of the strong wind shook the strands of his emo mane. Edward still remained fixed with the look of the injured eye was also disappointed. At least he could hear what answer Bella would give first. But what? The girl he loved left himself alone without saying anything in response to his statement. What harm? He just said about his feelings. Is it because he hastily expressed his feelings, making Bella behave like that? Is Bella too surprised, because she can only tell the girl about her feelings? Or the.. The blonde girl was disappointed?

"What's your answer to me, silly girl?" Ask the wind that blows. It was as if he wished through the wind to send and convey all his heart to the blonde girl all this time.

'Bella, you always leave me, but I feel like a fool who still loves you.' Monologue in the heart. He smiled wailing at his current stupidity.

Alfred had entered his class just as the entrance bell stopped ringing. Two hours of classes on Monday in her own class. Where there is Bella's class.

"Yes!! All the. Good morning!" Sweepings. Spreading his gaze to one student to another. But his gaze immediately fell on a bench that was very familiar to him.

Feeling that the bench belonged to his friend who was empty was noticed by his math teacher who he thought was sadistic, Ken's cold sweat immediately seeped out from nervousness. He's moving restlessly now. Sometimes he took the time to steal the lyrics to his killer teacher Alfred, but failed. Alfred kept paying attention to Bella's bench as well as Edward's bench which was not far away.

"Apen"

Tok Tok Tok...

**********

After Bella left the roof, the blonde girl could only duck on the stairs a little away from the rooftops position. The blonde girl never expected that her childhood best friend, who she had thought of as her brother, was now expressing her feelings for him. What should he do now?

On the other hand, there is his older brother Alfred who has now become part of his whole life. Not just as a brother to him, but maybe. There's no way she's disappointing her brother, is she? And again, Bella did not feel anything like when she felt something pleasant when she was close to Alfred.

Haifa.. Many times the blonde girl could only sigh. I want to get to class soon and go home. It was too complicated for him to be able to digest everything.

Arriving in front of his class, he immediately knocked on the door while looking down deeply.

"Sorry sir. I'm late." Bella bends over regretful sign. But the look in his eyes showed that he was not focusing on the person in front of him.

Alfred stared fixedly at his sister's face. I wish I could find something wrong there. He frowned as his obsidian eyes caught the empty sapphire Bella spot and glared away. What's wrong with his sister? His physique was here, but the focus of his mind was gone somewhere.

"Sit. Don't reload." Alfred is not a fool who can be lied to. He certainly knows with a change in attitude Bella who suddenly seemed dreamy. Now there was Edward who had not yet entered.

Waitaminute! Edward's? Ah, ja. What does it have to do with that young man, Bella being dazed like this? Alfred clearly knew, the mood of the girl this morning was very good. He could see a happy twinkle on his sister's sapphire iris highlight.

"Then, where's Edward Lincoln?" ask Alfred more about the whole class.

They could only stare at each other as if they were asking and saying no idea.

"Sir Alfred, there he comes!" screeched one of the students pointed towards the door of the class m. 

Justright. The emo youth entered with a face that was not much different from Bella but seemed cold untouched. What's the matter, actually? Why do they both look different? And.. Alfred gasped at the sight of Bella's body suddenly stiffening as Edward walked past.

"Bella, are you okay? I see your face is very pale. What is Edward talking to you about?" ken asked, whispering right in the girl's ear a little worried.

"No. There's nothing. I'm fine Ken." That's all Bella can say in response. He did not want to tell the problem when his sister's lesson began. Never mind her brother's lessons, other teachers' lessons Bella will not dare to chat when the lesson hours begin.

Bella turned to the side. Where Edward sat. And it can't be separated from Alfred's sharp eye sight. Bella looked scared when she saw Edward who could only look down expressionlessly. There was a sudden sense of guilt in his mind. Feeling sorry also did not have the heart to have behaved should not earlier. But when Edward looked up to glance at the girl, as fast as lightning Bella immediately turned to throw her face forward. Avoiding direct eye contact with Edward. Alfred noticed a wounded spot in Edward's onyx eyes when he looked at Bella. Do they have a problem?

He did not dare to interfere.

Sighing for a moment, he then shifted his thoughts to refocus on his lesson. He could not possibly continue to pay attention to the two while he had the responsibility to teach.

"Alright, you guys open the package book page 203. You guys do the package A."

"Good sir." Answer all students and then do the orders given by their teachers with a calm attitude.

During the lesson, Alfred took the time to get around. Watching her students do the tasks she gives while reading her favorite novel. Who knows, one of his students has difficulty in understanding the problems of the formula.

His eyes caught the figure of his brother who was daydreaming. Is the task done, until his sister dares to daydream?

"Bella, teach me about this one." Ken nudges Bella's shoulder slowly, but is able to make the girl re-conscious from her daydream.

"Yeah Ken." Ken frowned increasingly anxious with the change in mood of his best friend. But he did not dare to ask again.

"Hey, you really don't have a problem with that Lincoln, do you?" Ken could not bear it and finally asked back to make sure. He was afraid that Bella had a problem with a person like Edward who thought it was ironic expression. Moreover, he had heard that the young man had bad temper. He must be worried and afraid that his best friend is why.

Bella nodded in response. And Ken inevitably had to give up then could only grunt rudely staring fixedly at Bella. "Bell's. Never keep your own problems. 'I hope you will tell me that you still consider me your best friend. That's also if you think, what you're feeling needs to be told." Reminds Bella. Makes the girl smile warmly at him.

"Thank you Ken. Loved you. You're my best friend, Ken. Lucky for me." Bella said with a trembling voice as she felt moved.

From the corner of the room, not far from the two Alfred smiled faintly from behind his book. Although their distance is quite far, but the conversation can both be heard by Alfred. He felt grateful his sister still had a good friend despite having below average abilities for his lessons.

Edward silently watched Bella with a sad look. He could also hear their conversation. In her heart she asked, did she finally have to give up on loving the girl? Why is it just to have a blonde girl so hard?

"Ken, there's something I want to tell you later. You can, right?" Bella's remarks condition would be a plea for Ken.

"of course. What the hell, that's not for you?" Tempting Ken, sexy gnashing. And suddenly able to make Bella almost laugh out loud to see the behavior of her best friend who looked strange.

**********

The break bell rang, as Bella had said before. Ken is currently accompanying his blonde best friend to eat his lunch box under a willow tree not far from the outdoor basketball court at their school.

"So Bell, what do you want to tell me?" Ken asked, after finishing their respective lunchboxes.

Bella who was able to joke as usual, now began to spoon. Makes Ken feel guilty. The blonde girl sighed tiredly. Turning his gaze straight ahead while enjoying the cool breeze blowing on his face as well as the strands of his blonde waving cheerfully.

Ken still faithfully watched Bella while waiting for her best friend to open his voice.

"I don't know Ken, which one I should tell you first." Ken frowned deeply. "My happy news, or my worst." Imbuy.

"From your happy news first, Bell." Ken's Advice. Bella smiled faintly and then nodded in agreement. For a moment he took a deep breath and exhaled it roughly through his mouth.

"I.. Have feelings for my brother, Ken. And he looks the same."

"WHAT!! Wh-what, what's Bell?! A-a-what a-I didn't hear wrong?!" Pekik Ken, hysterical. He glared in disbelief towards Bella sharply. Making Bella towered backwards out of fear. Then nodded the sign answering 'yes'. "Yes God... Are you crazy, Bell?!" Imbuh Ken, veined. Still staring at Bella sharply.

"No. Because he's not my real brother." Bella replied lightly.

"HUH?!! Seriously?! How come?" Ken was surprised again. This was really news that had left him in shock.

Bella nodded back. Afraid that Ken might pounce and eat it.

"It's a long story, Ken. But the point is, we are not brothers. Especially his family name. Totally different from me and my parents." Bella paused for a moment to take a breath back. "Yesterday, when I ran away from school and my brother found me, he took me to Wyoming for a few days. And there he invited me to visit my family's grave. That's where my brother told me all the truth."

And the story flows from Bella's tiny lips. Ken was of course stunned. Can't believe that Bella's sister will have the same feelings for her own sister even if it's only her foster sister. The son of the man who took care of him. Even though they are not siblings, what happens if they still live in the house? Moreover, the age of Bella is currently still considered underage. But hearing Bella's story, made her believe that her best friend's sister was different. Bella told me everything when she was in her original hometown. When her brother accompanied her everywhere and nothing was missed.

"Heaven.. That's Ken. No problem, no. If I like my brother. Maybe if he was my brother, I wouldn't love him as the one I love." Obviously Bella, self-conscious. "Especially after reading all your messages about the characteristics of people who are in love. Haifa.. I think I'm going to die because I've dared to like my own brother." He added a frustrated groan while squeezing his blond mane rough.

"Well, I still don't think you're gonna tell your sister the truth about how you feel." Bella just harrumphed amusedly, she did not even understand her own feelings.

"I thought you were going with that Edward." Knock Ken. And success makes Bella gasp and spoon instantly. "Er.. Did I say it wrong?" Said Ken, when he realized the change in Bella's face that spooned.

"No. It's just that "Bella's words hang. His tongue felt suddenly.

"What is it?" Beo Ken's.

.

.

Edward just kept sighing every time he mendribble his basketball many times with a strong movement.

NAH!!

Several times also the basketball in his hand went into the ring with the right target.

JDAG.. DAGS..

Edward vented his frustration by throwing his basketball in any direction. It doesn't matter if the ball hits someone else later. He just wanted to vent his anger while scooping his face violently. His feet kicked the innocent wind.

He is currently on the indoor basketball court. The field that is usually used for inter-school match tournaments.

"Why?" Ask Edward to himself.

"Why did all this have to happen to me?!" Frustrated chaos.

Fortunately, the indoor field is always quiet. Like today. There's only him in the basketball courtroom. Making himself more free to spill his frustration and emotions in the room alone.

"If only. If only we could always be together like we used to." Edward is completely beyond his original, expressionless nature. Just because the blonde girl who is none other than Bella, she becomes frustrated with her feelings that are hit hard not in such a way.

.

.

"I don't know if Edward would have told you about his feelings, Bell. How do you feel yourself?" Ken asked after hearing everything from Bella.

The girl nodded back. He himself did not know what to say. He loved Edward like a brother. Not more.

"Come Ken. I don't know how to either."

For a moment the atmosphere between them became quiet and busy with their respective thoughts. Until suddenly a red-eyed emerald girl came to them. Bella looked at him as if asking 'what is it?'.

"Eerr... Bella, can I ask you a favor?" Said the girl groggy. His fingers were clinging to each other nervously.

"Yes?"

"Tell me Gwen. What's up?" Ken chimed in instead of Bella responding.

Gwen was silent for a moment. Still did not dare to say his heart to Bella who had never been close to him. "W-What are you doing. Can you help me get close to your best friend Edward, Bell? I'm..." Gwen swallowed a scared dry spit.

Bella also Ken gasped. Then they slowly looked at each other. Speaking through the eyes. Until suddenly, a mysterious smirks appeared with a meaningful glint at the corner of their lips. Making Ken also Bella both chuckle to each other. And laugh at the same time. Gwen clearly did not understand why the two friends in front of her were laughing indistinctly without answering her request?

"You know, Bella. What am I thinking right now?"

"Yes, Ken. Youre right. Hihihi.." Bella grin wide. Making Gwen shudder in horror at the glint of the grin of both.

"Mak Com's.. Blang!! Haha!!" Both of them laughed again. It was as if the burden that had been on his shoulder just disappeared just like that evaporated with their laughter.

"What do you mean?" Ask Gwen carefully.

"Ah, no, Gwen. We'll help you. Trust me and you'll calm down." Ken was convincing. Of course it made Gwen smile. Relieved to hear Bella's answer as well as Ken because he felt reassured.

"Thank you, Bella. Ken. I don't know who else to ask if you're not the same." Gwen said, sincere. He smiled at Bella who also smiled no less widely.

"Look easy." Bella chiming.

Not far away from them, several female students were screaming at each other excitedly as their idol teacher walked along the school corridor. Seeing that, Ken's gaze, Bella as well Gwen turned to that horrendous crowd.

"I didn't expect our new homeroom class to be this famous." Gwen frivolous. Still watching the crowd.

Bella glanced at Gwen with a hard-to-understand look. Jealousy is also upset.

"I wonder why our homeroom teacher always looks so cold untouched." Ken Timpal. And Bella then turned to look at Ken who looked curious.

"You're right Ken. I'm curious too. You too, right. Bella."

"Huh?! A-a-ah.. Y-yeah, you're right." Bella answered nervously. Gwen immediately stared at him intensely. It's like intimidating him.

"Bella, you.. Loved it ya~ hihi.." Tukas Gwen in a sing song tone teased the blonde girl. For him that he thought when he saw Bella was nervous because it was caught by him because he noticed his homeroom teacher with a different look in his eyes.

"What?! It's impossible." Elak Bella quickly threw away her face dodging. He does not want to until his friends know who the real teacher is their homeroom teacher. She couldn't possibly tell her friend that their homeroom teacher was her own brother, right?

"Bella couldn't have liked that killer teacher, Gwen. Because Bella already likes other people." Reveal Ken and get a fond shot from Bella. It made Ken chuckle clumsily and shrivel in the corner.

Gwen was surprised. "really? Wh who? Is he at this school too, Bell?" Ask Gwen enthusiastically."

Not yet Bella replied, someone with a baritone voice had intruded on her to swallow back her words. The three of them were shocked to see who was approaching them.

"Ah, yes, Alfred sir. Can I help you?" Bella replied awkwardly. Strange indeed when you have to call your own brother especially the person we like also with the name Pak guru and speak with formal language. But how else.

"There's something I want to talk to you about. I'm waiting in my room, Bella." And after that, Alfred turned around. Without realizing her call to Bella who was so familiar sounded. Gwen who is indeed smart is certainly surprised to hear the call made by her teacher to Bella so intensely. Did his teacher have any illicit feelings of love towards his own student? Haifa.. Impossible, impossible. That's impossible, right?

"Hey, why did Mr. Alfed call you not your family clan, Bell?"

Dhegs!!

Die!! Why can brother be released? "A-ah.a-I don't know. Yes already. I went to the room first, Gwen, Ken. Bye bye."

.

.

.

Bella could not believe that Alfred had reached her room. This time he was completely shocked when he saw who was in Alfed's room at this time besides them.

"Edward?" He just doesn't believe.

"Sit Bella." Pinta the man was firm. And Bella according to despite walking limped because of fear. He still did not dare to meet that emo youth right now. But at this time his brother just called him along with the young man emo at this time. What does her brother want to talk about?

Seeing the atmosphere in his room change, Alfred glanced at the two with his sharp eyes. Bella and Edward could only be silent. The girl looked down deeply, while Edward himself still stood upright despite his gaze looking down. Alfred sighed softly.

"I'm calling you guys personally here to solve both of you're problems." Pause for a moment. Bella glanced at Edward. "Don't you think I don't know what happened between you two this morning Bella, Edward."

Dhegs..

For the umpteenth time Bella's heart almost stopped because many times had to hear words that made her heart beat faster than usual.

How did his brother know the problem with Edward? Does her brother know that Edward is expressing his feelings?

"I don't know what your problem is. But I'm here as a teacher and your brother at home doesn't want to until you've silenced your friends to each other." Alfred said firmly . Bella's getting nervous. Making his cold sweat instantly pour out profusely through his temple.

"Solve now. I'll come out if it makes you guys talk more freely to finish it." And Alfred stood up again, choosing to leave the two and give time for the two to speak.

To be honest, Alfred did not want to see Edward have any problems with his sister. Remembering from toddlers they've been playing together. The two of them had also accidentally been bound to become fellow brothers. Because she still remembers, Deana unconsciously wanted to breastfeed Bella baby when she left her. He asked Deana to give Bella the formula. So that in the future there is no problem.

After the man left, Bella moved increasingly agitated because only she was also Edward in the room owned by Alfred.

"Jawab Bella."

"Huh?" Bella flinches when Edward suddenly makes a quick sound.

"My answer." Edward repeated in a cold voice.

Silent.

Feeling that Bella did not speak, Edward glanced at Bella. He sighed then turned his body to face Bella could not stand it. And the blonde girl was getting nervous for him.

"I beg Bella, answer me. Tell me whatever you want to tell me." Edward's words were frustrated and implied his despair. Sontak makes Bella more confused to be how to behave.

"I-i..." Edward tilted his head looking fixedly at Bella who was shorter than him.

"Edwards. I-i, i.. Eerr... I-I can't."

Like the whip of a thousand thorns in his heart. Edward's body was limp at once to hear the answer coming from Bella's cherry lips.

"I-i.. Can't return your feelings, Edward. Ii'm sorry. I'm really sorry."

Edward laughed bitterly. How ironic is his love story? Butwhy? Why would the girl in front of him not accept it? What shortcomings?

"I-I've liked other people, Edward. But I like you too, really."  Bella finally.

Edward's heart returned as it was in stoning. Although Bella also said that the girl also liked her, but she was very sure, that liking was not the liking she wanted.

"Who's the other guy, Bell?" As much as possible Edward tried to strengthen his heart, accepting it with a chest. But honestly, he didn't want to hear it. But his curiosity that was too great made him not care about the pain that would be felt later.

"He.. My sister's. Alfred Arshavin Frederick."
