I couldn't leave you too long without doing an update because I just feel bad lol. Even though I have been snowed under with school work (like the second day back was a Friday I got ten hours worth of homework :( my teachers are just too cruel lol).
And thanks to everyone who wished my mate to get better soon, he's doing grand now :).
I would like to point out that this sequel is not going to be as long as 'some things are best left in cyberspace'; so expect the chapters to be shorter :P.
Disclaimer: I own nothing :(.
Chapter One – The Debs Part One
"Alice! I need help getting this damn dress on!" I yelled down the hallway. I wasn't quite sure where Alice actually was; but my guess was that she hadn't strayed to far from my bedroom.
Tonight was the night that everybody in sixth year looked forward to; it was my debs. Tonight was the night when I would see everybody in my year for the last time ever. I was quite upset to be leaving some people behind; but on the other hand life goes on right?. I should really be quite emotional about this all but I'm not; I know that I will keep in contact with everybody that I need to so its not like I will never see any of them again.
As expected Alice had spent the whole day fixing me up. I had explained to her a million times that under no circumstances did I want a fuss; but let me tell you now, that pixie does not listen to one word that comes out of my mouth. Not only did she buy me my dress, she also payed hundreds for my accessories, booked me into some salon to get my fake tan done, brought fake nails to put on me and organised a big party at the house for Edward and I leaving.
I was now all "pretty" and ready to go; if only I could get my dress on now. Alice appeared in the doorway a second later.
"Bella, breathe" she soothed; I admit that I was getting a little bit stressed.
"But what if I trip up? What if the boogie bus doesn't come? What if Edward loses our tickets?? Alice there's so much that could go wrong that it's not even believable!" I exclaimed and she just looked at me; I could see the amusement in her face.
"Look you will not trip up, I gave you such a small heel and your dress is altered so that it is nearly impossible to trip up. The boogie bus will show up; I was on the phone to the driver ten minutes ago and he should be here in a half hour. Edward has a zip pocket on the inside of his jacket so he will definitely not lose the tickets. Now calm down, I have everything sorted" she explained as she did up the zip on the side of my dress. I did calm down a bit then, maybe I was over-reacting just a tiny bit.
"Now you can finally look in the mirror" Alice smiled as she glided over to the mirror and removed the piece of cloth she had put there earlier in the day. Alice was set on my not seeing how I looked until everything was done, something about getting the full effect at once. I can't really say that I agree but I was so not going to fight with Alice over it. So this morning she went to every mirror in the house and covered them ALL up; just so I couldn't see myself. Bit over the top if you ask me; but I suppose this was Alice.
I slowly made my way over to the mirror the "get the full effect". I looked in the mirror and the person staring back really didn't look like me at all. She stood a few inches taller than me, she was tanned, had a great figure, was wearing a beautiful dress and had her hair done in the most elegant up-style I think I have seen in my life. I moved my arm up; just to make sure that it was actually me in the mirror. The left arm in the mirror lifted to confirm that it was actually me.
I was wearing a halterneck aubergine dress. It was very fitted up the top and just flowed out a bit once it got to the hips. The top half had a little bit of a beaded design but nothing over the top; it was simple and I loved it. I had always been a pale girl, its just the way that I was and always will be. But stood in front of me was a girl that looked like she was out sunbathing everyday of her life; I had a nice glow off me. As for my hair it was up in a bun at the top of my head with some clips in it; there was a few strands of hair that came out of the bun to give it a kind of messy look. As much as Alice had been so annoying all day I would go through everything ten times over to get this result.
"So??" she asked as she bounced up and down on the spot.
"Alice its beautiful" I whispered still shocked at the woman in the mirror.
"I am pretty good aren't I?" she laughed to herself.
"Only brilliant!!" I screamed and jumped on her to hug her; I am actually quite surprised that she didn't fall over with my weight.
"Well what can I say?" she was so modest!
"Thank you, thank you, thank you" was all I kept saying to her; she just stood there laughing at me.
After a few minutes of me just saying thank you to Alice for what she had done I heard a little knock on my bedroom door.
"If that's you Edward I swear you won't make it to the debs tonight!" Alice threatened and I just burst out laughing. For someone so small she could sure sound intimidating at times; I found it quite funny.
"It's Carlisle, can I come in?" his voice came through the door.
"If you must" Alice sighed. The door slowly creaked open and Carlisle made his way up to where Alice and I were standing near the mirror. I could tell as soon as he seen me he was a bit taken aback by how I looked; who could blame him? I didn't look like plain Isabella Swan, for once I actually looked like a proper woman.
"You look gorgeous" he smiled as he came nearer; I just blushed. If everybody was going to compliment me tonight I am going to spend most my night looking like a tomato.
"Alice can I just have a minute with Bella if you wouldn't mind?" Alice got the hint.
"I have to go and greet everybody downstairs anyway" she smiled as she bounced out of the room. Carlisle sat down on my bed facing me and I walked over to him.
"Did you want to talk to me about something?" I asked once I was stood in front of him.
"Yeah. I just wanted to say to you that I know how much you wish your father was here tonight and I know that I will never take his place; and trust me Bella I will never even try and do that. But I want you to know that I knew your father very well and I know for a fact that he would be so proud of you. I have never had the chance to talk to you about any of this but I know that your father is looking down at you right now and smiling. You couldn't of done any better in you Leaving Cert and now you are going to go and live your dream; there is nothing more that any parent could ask for" I hadn't realised before but my eyes had actually started watering whilst Carlisle had been talking.
"You think so?" I asked with a small smile, I loved talking to people about my dad.
"I know so" he smiled warmly at me as he got up and hugged me.
"Thank you. Not just for that but for everything. You really didn't have to take me in Carlisle; you barely knew me anymore yet you still opened me with open arms. I know that you will never be able to replace my father but I still respect you so so much" I whispered as he hugged me tightly.
"It's my pleasure Bella. There was always something missing in Edward's life after you two stopped talking and nothing could ever seem to fill it. He was so moody and down in himself that none of us thought he would ever go back to how he used to be. But Bella you changed that; you brought back the old Edward and nothing we could ever do for you would repay you for that"
I smiled at this. I had been told before that I had changed Edward back to who he was before he started acting the prick; but I never got bored of hearing it.
"Now go down them stairs and give Edward the shock of his life" he laughed as the hug ended.
As much as I hate to admit it Edward was my life now; if I ever lost him I really don't know what I would do. But I was happy to know that Edward also felt this way about me. In a way we both relied on each other and we liked it that way.
I took a deep breath and walked out of the room and towards the stairs where my Edward would stand at the bottom waiting for me....
I really didn't want to leave it here but I feel that this will be way to long a chapter if I do the whole debs in one chapter so I had to split it somewhere and here seemed best :D.
Anyways please review, if I don't get a lot of reviews I don't think I will continue because there's no point in writing the story if people aren't reading it.
xxxxx
