25

Alice and the girls go out for her 'birthday.' They go to a 17-21yr old club. They dance, laugh, but with Bella, there's always trouble. See what happens while they're out and then some. LEMON toward the end.

BPOV

So tonight Alice used the excuse that it was her "birthday" to have a bunch of us girls go out. Obviously I wasn't looking forward to this but I guess I'm required to go.

Alice made it clear that no guys are allowed to tag along so that meant no Edward. And she also told them that they're allowed to be in the club (a 17-21 year old club) or be within a 3-mile radius. I know it's going to drive Edward nuts but he'll deal. He has to. I can't fake illness or anything though because she'll know. Damn her.

Alice invited a few people to join us. Besides Alice, Rosalie, and myself, Jessica, Angela, and some other girls that Alice talks to in school were invited. At least since there will be a bunch of us, attention should be kept away from me. That's what I'm hoping anyway.

"Okay Bella, here's your outfit you're going to wear tonight."

I sighed.

It was a black and dark purple plaid designed shirt. But the shoulders were loose and hung down. Therefore, I wore a black tank top underneath that only showed my straps. There was also a dark jean skirt and black high-heeled boots. But the boots only had a slight heel cause she knew I'd complain. Plus since I'd be 'dancing' she didn't want my excuse to not dance to be because my feet hurt. Ugh, now I wish they were 6-inch heels.

"I'm going to do your hair too."

"Okay." Like I have a choice.

She made my hair a little thick with large curls instead of it being straight. It was different and looked really nice.

Then she did my make up. She said she wanted me to have edge. So she put dark eyeliner and dark purple eye shadow that covered my eyelids up to under my eyebrows. It's hard to explain but it looked good. Different. I looked like a rocker. She also insisted on putting fake eyelashes on so my eyes would stand out even more. I don't think she could do anymore to it. I seriously looked like I belonged in a rock band.

"Okay, you're good to go. You look hot!"

I blushed. "Alice."

"Okay, okay, I'm going to get dressed."

She left the room and I headed downstairs to spend a few minutes with Edward before we left.

I walked downstairs and into the living room where Edward, Jasper, and Emmett were.

All heads turned to me. They obviously knew it was me since they'd hear my heart beat but apparently they still insisted on looking at me.

"Hey guys." Their faces looked shocked. "What? Do I have something on my face?" I went over to the mirror to check. There was nothing.

So I thought maybe I'd check my clothes so I rubbed down from my boobs to my stomach and then on my ass, incase I sat in something.

Edward darted over. "Please Bella stop doing that or I'll have to run you upstairs."

"Stop what?" I was confused.

"Rubbing yourself like that."

Oh. I giggled.

"No Bella, don't stop. Keep doing it. You look way hot," Emmett emphasized.

Then Rosalie was in the room and slapped him on the back of the head.

"Ow!" We all just laughed.

Then Jasper spoke up. "Would you two please calm down?"

"What?"

"You and Edward. Tone it down."

I realized what he meant. I giggled. "Sorry."

"Don't I look silly Edward? Alice wanted me to look different. My eye make up is so dark. I feel like I belong in a rock band."

"A hot-ass rock band." Emmett had to add.

I just shook my head and blushed.

"You look incredible. Very different but you make it work."

"I guess that's good. Hopefully people won't stare."

Emmett had to butt in again. "Oh they'll stare… Oh boy will they stare." He laughed.

Edward growled.

"You think people will?" Ugh, I wanted to avoid attention. Maybe with Rosalie and Alice near me the guys focus on them.

'Oh hell yeah Bella. Guys in there are going to think 'damn, look at this hot young thing coming up in here'." He started laughing.

Edward growled again.

"Stop messing with me."

"Hey, I'm just speaking the truth."

"Whatever. Besides, maybe if I stay near Rosalie and Alice they'll focus on them and not me." I was smiling from the silliness he's speaking of.

Emmett and Jasper growled at the thought.

"See." Edward wanted to let them know why he growled.

Then Alice walked in. "Let's go Bella."

"Wow Alice, you look great."

"Thanks!" Jasper went over and gave her a kiss goodbye.

Rosalie walked over to Emmett and gave him an intense kiss. Damn. Emmett was a little shocked. She caught him off guard. I looked at Edward and he shrugged his shoulders. He knew they were just intense sometimes.

"Babe, any guys try to grab your ass, punch them in the face for me." He smiled. She totally would too.

Edward turned to Alice. "If any guys try to 'grab Bella's ass' as Emmett had put it, will you punch them in the face for me?"

"Most certainly."

I looked at them both. "Guys, I'm right here. I can hear everything you're saying. I'll be fine."

I gave Edward a kiss and headed out.

The club was intense. I have to say it was actually pretty awesome looking. It didn't seem corny or childish at all. They really rocked it.

The place was crowded. It was dark with lights flashing all over as if we were at a concert. They had music blasting. There was a bar but they asked for ID when we came in and anyone 21 got a wristband to drink.

As soon as we stepped in the club Angela and Jessica went to dance. They seemed like they were having a really good time. The other girls that met us there had already made their way around the club. Apparently some of them knew people that worked there. I didn't mind being left alone.

I sat on a stool at the bar. Alice automatically dragged Rosalie on the dance floor. Of course Rosalie looked beautiful. I won't be surprised if every guy in here hits on her. I started to laugh to myself. I probably looked silly laughing alone.

I decided to text Edward. At least do it quickly before Alice notices and comes over to grab me.

"Hey."

"Hi. How's it going?"

"It's going."

"Well, that's detailed."

"It's crowded. Is that detailed enough?"

"Not really ."

"Okay. Well, all the girls are dancing and I'm being my social self and sitting at the bar."

"No dancing then?"

"I'm sure Alice will take my phone soon and drag me out on the dance floor. So if I don't respond to texts then you know why."

"Good to know."

"This guy next to me is weird. I think he's drunk. It's quite humorous."

"Is he bothering to you?"

"No, calm down. :P He's not doing anything. He's just drunk. He's hitting on the girl on the other side of him. She definitely doesn't seem interested. Lets just say he's not the cutest guy in the club. Haha."

"So he doesn't pertain your interest?"

I decided to tease. "No, definitely not. But the guy at the end of the bar looking at me is a different story. I think I'll go say hi. Talk to you in a bit."

There was a text about 5 minutes later. The longest 5 minutes ever.

"Did you go talk to him?"

I didn't respond right away. I want to make it seem that I was talking to the guy. I waited for about another 5 minutes and then decided to text him.

"Yeah. I didn't recognize him but I found out he was looking at me because it was Dean. You remember, the guy I knew from Phoenix? Wow small world."

It was 20 seconds and then he responded.

"Oh. How is he?"

"He's doing good. Asked if I would dance with him. I said in a bit. Wanted to talk to you some. Crap, here comes Alice. See you at home. Love you!"

"Love you."

That was fun. But Alice was actually coming over.

"Hey Alice."

"What are you doing Bella? You need to come on the dance floor with us."

"Fine." I unwillingly got up and went to the dance floor. I looked foolish. I can't dance right.

I started to 'dance'. It was torture. At least the music had a good beat to it. Gave me something to go off of. All I kept thinking about was Edward. I need to get a grip on myself. I guess people would diagnosis me with a case of 'being in love'. Some people would probably look at it as unhealthy but I love it.

Then I felt hands go around my waist. But they weren't the cold hands I crave for.

He started to grind himself on me. It was weird. I didn't like it.

I turned around. "Sorry, I'm going to go dance with my friends."

"Come on baby, we're just having some fun."

I shook my head. I didn't want to be mean. "No. Sorry. I'm going back over here."

He just shrugged and danced with someone else. I sighed. At least that's over with.

Alice grabbed my arm as I tried leaving the dance floor.

"Bella, no. Come on."

I growled and she just laughed.

Then she made me stay next to her and dance, making sure I wouldn't sneak off anywhere.

I guess I was having some fun. It was nice to be outside of school with Angela. And I guess Jess too. At least I didn't have guys on me. That was a plus when dancing with your friends.

Another guy tried putting his arms around me and Rosalie intervened. "No," is all she said and the guy walked away. "Thanks Rose." She nodded and began to dance near Alice again.

Jess leaned over to me, "I'm going to use the rest room."

"Okay. I'll come with you." We decided to have a buddy system. Just to be safe. I was fine with that.

I looked at myself in the mirror. I still looked good even with sweating and the heat in the club. I just fixed myself up a little bit before we headed out of the bathroom. Jess of course took forever looking in the mirror and was talking and talking. I didn't hear half the stuff she was saying.

When we walked out two guys were walking past us. The one guy stopped to talk to Jess. She was being flirtatious as I just stood there. I wanted to get out of the hallway. It was awkward standing there while your friend is next to you flirting with a guy. So I took a few steps over to give them some space. But I wasn't going to leave her.

A guy I remember seeing from the bar walked past me and stopped.

"Hey you."

"Hey? Do I know you?"

"Well, you were staring at me at the bar."

I let out a giggle. "Oh no, sorry. I thought you were someone I knew."

"That's cute… your laugh." Great. Now he probably thinks I'm somehow interested in him. "I can be someone you can get to know."

I shook my head with a smile. "No, no. That's okay. I'm with my friend." I pointed to Jess.

"Well she seems busy. How about I get you a drink?"

"Sorry. I'm not 21."

"That's okay. I'll sneak you one."

"No thanks. I'm not big on drinking."

"Suit yourself." He walked away. I let out a sigh. Geez can't I just go out with my friends without being bothered? We need to go to a lesbian club next time. I'd rather be hit on by a girl. It's so much easier.

I saw Jess and the guy she was talking to slide back into the corner more. Great, now they're kissing. I might as well camp out for a bit. I stood there for about 10 minutes but then I decided I've had enough.

"Jess? Jess?" I decided to yell over the music. "Jess?"

She let go of his lips. "What?" She seemed pissed.

"Come on Jess, can't we go back out with everyone else?" I tried pulling on her.

The guy looked at me. Ugh, he's drunk. You could easily tell.

"Hey girl, chill, we're just having fun."

"I can see that but she's coming with me… now." I looked at her, basically saying with me eyes 'come on!'.

"No. She wants to stay here."

"Well that's too bad because she's coming with me."

He grabbed my arm. "Get off of me."

"Let her stay and I'll let you go."

Jess cut in. "Bella, come on, just go. I'll be fine."

"No, I'm not leaving you here with a this guy, who is much older than you and is also drunk."

"He's not that much older."

"Whatever Jess, come on, please?"

She didn't say anything.

The guy got in-between Jess and me as I tried grabbing her arm. He pushed me back some.

"Dude, don't touch me." I was getting pissed now.

"Then back off."

"Yeah, I'm not going to leave her here with you, especially now." I didn't care if I was giving him an attitude.

He got in my face. I didn't budge. "Leave, now."

"No. You."

He didn't move. Fine.

I grabbed Jess' arm again and she pulled back. What the hell is wrong with this girl? Is she that desperate?

The guy pushed me against the wall. I got furious and ran to jump on him. He hit the wall but not that hard considering I'm probably 100 pounds lighter than him.

He threw me off onto the floor. Jess stood against the wall in shock. I stood up and went towards him. He stood there with a smile on his face.

"Feisty. I like it." Gross. I punched him in the face.

He got pissed. He turned to me and punched me in the face. I flew against the wall and slid to the floor. I thought I was going to pass out but I got back up. I was staggering a little. But by that time Jess had gotten someone and they grabbed the guy. I was sitting on the floor now.

Jess came over. "Bella, are you okay?"

"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine."

"You didn't get Alice or anything did you?"

"No. I will."

"No! Don't."

"What? Why?"

"Just take me into the bathroom."

"Okay?"

I wanted to fix myself up some. My lip was busted a little but I wiped it off and then made myself look as best as I could. There was no bruise… yet. I'll make up a story. I don't want to not be able to come out again. Geez, can't I just go out without starting shit.

"Jess, don't tell them anything. I'll just tell them some girl started with me."

She didn't say anything. "Jess. Okay?"

"Fine."

We walked out and saw Alice. "Everything okay? You guys were gone a long time."

"Yeah, Jess just ran into someone she knew and was talking to him."

"Oh okay. There was a fight or something that broke out back there. Apparently some guy attacked a girl."

"Oh wow really? Mm... We must have missed it." I just looked at Jess and she looked at me.

"What's wrong with your lip Bella?"

"Oh, these two girls in the bathroom were fighting and I tried breaking it up, and I got hit in the lip. No biggy. I cleaned it off." Jess decided to keep quiet.

It was 11pm already and I knew we were leaving in an hour. I danced some but then I thought I'd chill the rest of the time.

I decided to text Edward again.

"Hey."

"Hi again."

"What are you up to?"

"Reading. And missing you."

"Yeah, I miss you too."

"Anything going on?"

"Well believe it or not, I was dancing some but I was forced into it."

"Yeah, I'm not surprised. Was it just you and the girls dancing?"

"Edward, are you trying to figure out if a guy danced with me?"

"Maybe."

"Well I'm not answering you."

I can only imagine that he growled.

"Fine. Are you danced-out for the night?"

"Yeah. I've had my fair share of excitement for the night."

"What does that mean?"

"Nothing. Just that… things can get carried away at a club."

"Did you get to hang out with Dean some?" I should have known that question was coming. Actually I forgot about the whole 'Dean' thing.

"Yeah, I didn't want to say anything but he was the one that I was dancing with."

I can only imagine what is going on in his head. "Oh. Well I hope you had fun."

I'll relieve him some. Plus with the bruise I may have tomorrow, I want him to have some relief. "Edward."

"Yes?"

"There is no Dean. I just like messing with you. "

"What about at the NYE party?"

"I made him up. He's not real. ."

"Bella. You're killing me. Do you always have to do that to me?"

"Yes I do. It's part of my description."

"And what description would that be?"

I giggled. "Um, I'm not really sure. I guess the description of a girlfriend that likes to drive her boyfriend crazy. Haha. I don't know what I'm saying. I should have thought before I spoke."

"You're so cute."

"More like I sound like a moron."

"You do not."

Alice called for me. "Edward, I have to go. Alice wants me. Love you."

"Love you too."

I got up and walked over to Alice. "Bella, were you texting Edward?"

"No." She knew I was lying. She sighed.

"Well it's 12am and everyone under 18 has to leave." We had specific colored wristbands of people 17 years old (yellow), 18-20 years old (green), and 21 (purple).

"So we have to leave?"

"Don't sound so disappointed Bella." She rolled her eyes.

"What, I'm just asking a question?" I smiled at her.

"Yes. We have to leave. We're driving Angela and Jess home but the other girls have rides. You're sleeping at my house for a 'sleep over.' Esme talked to your dad already."

"Wow awesome."

We left and Rose drove. Like a maniac of course. Angela and Jess seemed on edge but I barely even noticed that we were going fast. I'm beyond use to it by now.

Alice spun around. "So did you guys have fun?"

Angela was the first to speak, "Yeah, I had a great time. It was awesome. Thanks so much for inviting me Alice."

"No problem. I'm glad you had fun." She looked at Jess. "How about you Jess?"

She looked up. "Yeah, it was great. Met some nice people too." She wasn't being her full self. The first clue was that she wasn't chatting away or bragging about any guys that were hitting on her.

I turned to Jess and tapped her on her arm. She looked at me. I wrote in my text 'Don't say anything to anyone about that guy tonight. I don't want them to make a big deal.' I then erased it. She just nodded. I mouthed 'Thank you.'

Jess was sleeping over Angela's so we only had to make the one stop.

Jess yelled back, 'Thanks guys, had a great time!" I know she did have a good time except at the end… that kind of caught her off guard. But I know she overall had a good time. Lets hope she doesn't open her mouth, at least for a little bit.

We were pulling up the Cullen's driveway. I sighed. Bed and Edward. I can't wait. I'm exhausted.

Edward was waiting out on the step. I got up and ran to him. He picked me up and spun me around.

He went to kiss me but my lip was a little puffy. I pulled away when our lips made contact since it hurt some.

"Ow."

"What's wrong love?" He looked at my lip. "What happened?"

Alice butt in as she walked by. "Two girls in the rest room were going at it and Bella tried to calm it down. They hit her in the lip but she's fine."

He looked at me. "Yup. You know me, always trying to keep the peace." He just chuckled.

"Is that why you said that you had your 'fair share of excitement for the night'?"

I nodded.

"Come on, let's go. We can get some ice on that lip."

"I'd rather have you on my lips."

He chuckled. "Bella, I just kissed you and it hurt."

I touched my lip. "Right." Then I giggled to myself. Duh.

We went upstairs and I got a shower. Ah, so refreshed. I looked in the mirror. Shit! A bruise was already forming. What the fuck? My lip is busted and I had an excuse lined up but how am I suppose to explain my eye being black and blue. You couldn't see it before because of the make up but now it's clearly visible.

Okay, I'll walk out with my hair over my face some and go into Alice's room to ask her for make up.

I walked out of the bathroom fast. "Edward, I'm going to see Alice for something."

"Okay?"

I went into Alice's room. She was there fixing up her closet with the clothes that were left on her bed. I shut the door.

"Alice."

She turned and gasped.

"Oh my god Bella, what happened to your face?"

"Shh!"

She got big eyed but didn't say anything.

"I don't want to talk about it right now. Can you just give me some make up to put on my face to hide it?"

"Bella, Edward will notice you're wearing make up."

"Well, I'm going to hop right into bed and hopefully he won't see."

She sighed. "Fine."

She got her make up bag and started putting cover up on.

"Bella I'm done. You can still see some on your face. It won't cover it all up."

I looked in the mirror. "It's okay. It's better than before."

"Bella, can't you tell me what happened?"

"Not now Alice. It's going to be worse tomorrow so can you help me tomorrow with this too?"

She just nodded.

I went back into Edward's room.

"I'm going to bed Edward, I'm really tired."

"Alright love. I kissed him real fast and laid on his chest." I think he could tell something was up but he let it go.

I eventually fell asleep. I was exhausted.

Leave Reviews please!

See what other issues come Bella's way. Go figure.
