A/N: Hey guys, this is my first attempt at writing fanfiction, after reading many others. Please read and let me know what you think. I'll do different POV's upon request!
Chapter One
"You about ready, Jess? Angela entered my room, putting in her earring. A frown appeared on her face, seeing that I only had one eye's mascara done.
"Oh. Yeah, I'll just be a sec," I replied, quick to start on my other lashes. She mumbled something that sounded like "scatterbrained" and walked out of the room. I'm not sure what was causing me to be so slow at getting ready; either too much daydreaming or that I really didn't want to go.
When Angela invited me to go out with her, Eric, and one of his friends, my first reply was no. It was a set up, and we both knew it. Don't get me wrong, I've dated plenty in the past, but something in me had given up on ever finding 'the one.' My two closest friends from high school were still with their boyfriends from all those years ago. I guess they possessed a fate that I didn't.
"Jess!" Angela hollered from the entryway, jingling her keys. I yelled back that I was coming, slipped on my heels, and did a final once-over of my curly hair, teal tight-fitting dress, and gold studded heels. Heading towards the door, I see that Angela looks slightly annoyed.
"I'm sorry, I should've started getting ready sooner," I said sincerely.
"Look, I know you're iffy about dating, but honestly you can't just give up. Someone out there is perfect for you, and when you find him it'll be worth your search." Angela squeezed my hand and smiled. She was my best friend since we were little and always knew exactly what I needed to hear.
We went out to her car and made our way to Seattle for dinner. "I swear, as soon as I can I'm leaving this sad ass little town so there's not a ridiculous drive to get good food." I said and Angela giggled.
"You'll miss Forks, I know you will," she said.
"I've visited my Grandma in New York for a couple of weeks before. I loved it; a Starbucks on every corner." The thought of the city made me happy. Moving away to bigger and better things than this gossip town. "I mean nothing interesting has happened here since Bella and Edward got married fresh out of school." Angela laughed because she knew it was true. Although secretly I envied Bella. HAving everything figured out at such a young age. Not to mention having a hot guy like Edward. He showered her in attention constantly. Luck bitch. I haven't seen them since their wedding, though. I don't even know if they still live in Forks.
Angela look on the map on her GPS and nodded. "Okay, this is the place: The Cove." Eric popped up at her window just then, scaring the shit out of her and causing a round of giggles to escape me.
We got out of the car, and Eric gave Angela a quick kiss. I didn't even notice the guy standing next to him until Eric said, "Jessica, this is Ross. We work together." I shook Ross' hand and said it was nice to meet him. He had strawberry blond hair that was neatly combed into place, blue eyes, and was at least six feet tall.
Ross had a huge smile on his face as he looked me up and down. "You look great," he commented. I think I said "you too," but honestly I had already zoned out. This was going to be a long night.
Okay, that's it for now! Leave me reviews, pretty please!
