Chapter 1: Painful, Hangover Filled, Introductions
I woke up with a massive headache, and groaned as my stomach turned. For a minute I didn't know what the hell was wrong with me, but then some things hit me from what happened last night, ugh. Hangovers.
I am not one to usually party at all. You can ask my siblings Emmett and Alice. I never drink; I try to be diligent, and always put my studies first. That's what you have to do if you want to become a doctor.
I lifted my head up and felt like my eyes were burning. But as I looked around my eyes got huge. I wasn't in my room.
I looked around, the room looked like a girls room. Crap. That's when the bedroom door opened. And in came the most beautiful girl I had ever seen, she looked oddly familiar though. She had long brown hair that came mid waist; she was petite, look to be around five foot and was in a black tank top with white pajama shorts on. When she looked into my eyes I thought she was looking into my soul with those deep brown eyes. Corny I know, but I was hooked and fixated on her.
She smirked at me, "Well lookey here, you're finally up." She said with a southern accent, not one of those annoying ones but the sweet ones. She handed me a cup of water and two pills. "Take the aspirin and drink the water slowly." I did as she said, and drank the water slowly even though I wanted to chug it down. If I drank it too fast, we would have a whole other situation on our hands.
She sat down at her desk that was across from me and faced me as I drank the water. "So, I am sure you don't remember anything that occurred last night so I am going to put your mind at ease, we did not have sex last night." I sighed at that, I would feel horrible if I took advantage of her while I was drunk, she laughed and my facial expression I assume, "You did get a little handsie though," She winked at me, "I am Bella Swan, which I'm sure you forgot too. I was in the band last night that was playing at the party."
As she said that, some memories started to trigger. I remember seeing a band playing, and remember seeing her; I remember she had been in a little black dress… I don't know how I could have forgotten she was the lead singer. "Right I slightly remember that."
She laughed again at that, "Good, good you are slowly remembering, I am sure you don't want to remember those 10 tequila shots you took when your brother dared you."
I groaned feeling my stomach turn as she mentioned that, "Please don't." I stopped to look at her for a second before I spoke, "Where am I? And do you know where my sister and brother are?"
Bella smiled, "Come with me."
She stood up and walked out of the room, expecting me to follow. How could I not, I got up and pulled on my jeans that I was wearing last night and my shirt. Apparently I had stripped down to my boxers.
Go me.
I can explain the ten or more tequila shots that occurred last night; this had been the hardest last three weeks of my existence. I was transferring colleges, my girlfriend of three years cheated and dumped me in front of my entire hometown, and now I had a massive hangover. Tanya Denali was my world, emphasis on was. I stayed in Forks, Washington for her, going to community college there when I had gotten into a majority of Ivy League colleges across the country. She hadn't gotten into many schools so she decided to stick home; she was a cheerleader for the University and had cheated on me with the football captain. Typical. I had gotten a scholarship for academic and sport for soccer at almost every school I applied to and I stayed home for this horrible woman that took everything away from me. I decided after being humiliated in the last few weeks to transfer like I had planned, but not to University of Washington to stay somewhat closer to Tanya, but to Vanderbilt University. My older brother, Emmett, was going there now along with my little sister, Alice. We are all two years apart. Emmett is turning 22, I am 20, and Alice just turned 18. Our parents were alumni there. My brother was going there to become a Lawyer, he was just entering into the law school there. He had gone to the community college for two years in Washington to bring up his grades more before transferring. My sister is going for Human and Organizational Development. She is a strange cookie, but she loves to tell people what to do, and I think this will help her to channel that into a career. My parents had been more than thrilled to hear that all three of their kids were going to be attending their alumni school. It was a dream come true for them.
As I walked out of Bella's room, I saw my siblings sitting at the kitchen table in this apartment eating up waffles with a blonde woman and man. Huh.
They all turned to stare over at me, and smiled.
Emmett smirked, "Hey Eddie boy, had a fun first night at Vanderbilt huh?" I rolled my eyes and took a seat next to Alice and the blonde guy.
The guy was wearing a gray t-shirt with blue pajama bottoms. He looked like he was pretty cool, obviously an athlete considering he had a basketball shirt on for Vanderbilt. He smiled at me, "Hi, I'm Jasper. It's nice to meet you Edward." He half spoke and half whispered. Everyone laughed quietly. Apparently my hangover was evident to everyone. "It seems like you had a pretty rough week to drink that many shots." He shook his head, "If I had taken fifteen shots, I wouldn't be so hot myself."
My eyes went wide, fifteen? I looked over at Bella who shrugged her shoulders; "Hey I just said your brother dared you to take ten shots, I didn't say how many you had before to be able to follow through with it."
I groaned, Alice laughed and rubbed my shoulder, "Here Edward, have some of these waffles Bella made all of us. They have a special remedy inside for the hangover." I didn't question it because I was so hungry.
I took the first bite and thought I was transported to a whole other world, this were the best waffles I had ever had.
The blonde chick smiled at me as she took some syrup for hers, "They are the best, right? Oh I'm Rosalie, but just call me Rose." Emmett had his eyes glued to her as she spoke. Interesting.
I smiled, "Edward, I'm sorry I'm not usually this rude." I shook her hand, she just told me not to worry about it. If you have a hangover apparently it is all excused.
After a few minutes had past I looked at my siblings curiously, "So how did we end up in Bella's apartment?"
Ali blushed, looking down at her plate. Em scratched the back of his neck and looked the other way. "Oh they hooked up with my cousins and dragged you along." The voice was Bella's, my eyes went wide at her words and I choked on the water I was drinking.
"What?!" I held my head as I screamed, ow. Your own voice hurts your head apparently.
"Bella!" Rose scolded her, but I could see a smile coming through, she turned to me no shame on her face for anything, "You'll have to excuse my dear cousin, she has no filter whatsoever and just says the first thing that comes in her head. What happened was we invited you guys back to our place, and we kind of all just crashed here." This is when the blush kicked in a bit, "Em stayed in my room, Alice erm stayed with Jazz, and Bella slept on the coach while you took her room."
My face was bright red now, "I took her room?!" I looked over at Bella, "I am so sorry."
Bella's eyes glistened, "No worries, I offered, you put up quit the fight until I shoved you onto the bed, and you past out." She laughed, it sounded like bells. She was over by the sink in the kitchen now. She was doing dishes. She cooked breakfast and now she was doing the dishes? I stood up and brought my dishes over, but before she could take them from me I grabbed the sponge and started to wash them.
She tried to protest but I shrugged, "I took your bed and you cooked breakfast, this is the least I can do for you." She smiled and didn't try to fight me.
Alice was looking at me smirking. I was going to have to ask her what that look was later.
I looked out the window and realized I knew where I was. This was our building too. "Oh hey, this is were we live." I smiled at Bella, "What floor is this."
She looked down washing the dishes and pans; "We're on the eighth floor right now." She was hiding a smile.
I glared at my siblings, "We live on the eighth floor, and you seriously couldn't walk me back to our place so that I didn't take this poor girls bed?"
Emmett smirked at me, "Dude you're the one that made us stay."
It came back in a flash when he said that. I had begged to stay. Literally got on my knees and begged to stay longer. I felt my face get red all over again. I looked down and the cup I was washing, "Oh."
Everyone laughed, "So what major are you Edward?" Rose asked still laughing slightly.
I appreciated her trying to change the subject, "I am a biology major, I want to be a pediatrician." She smiled at me nodding, "What about you? What's your major?"
Looking at her I would have guessed a supermodel was her major. She had long blonde hair a little past her shoulders and has crystal blue eyes. Her face was perfect angles and she looked to be 5'8 as she walked over to me and Bella to put her dishes in the dishwasher. Rose was wearing a loose black dress that went down to her ankles but had a part of it open on her leg; they were called mega dresses or something? I don't know.
"I'm going into Mechanic and engineering." I felt my eyes get wide; I would not have guessed that. "Yeah, I know, I know I look like I was supposed to go into something typical like art or acting." She rolled her eyes, "I'll leave the dramatics for Bella over here." She winked at her cousin. Bella stuck her tongue at her.
I turned to Bella, "You're going into acting?"
She rolled her eyes, "No, I am going into Law school, I got my Bachelors degree in Psychology, she just considers me dramatic naturally." My eyes widen. Wow, I would not have guessed that one considering she plays in a band. She walked over to the fridge and pulled out a water bottle, "That's how me and Emmett met, and how you guys ended up at the party. I invited him to hear us play." She had a Fiji water bottle in hand. Their fridge looked pretty cool, it was clear so you saw all the drinks and food inside.
I nodded, "So you're Emmett's age?" I didn't realize she was older than me she looks like she could be a little younger than me.
Rose, Jasper, and Emmett laughed, "Oh no Bella's actually your age Eddie boy." Emmett said coming up behind me and bumped fists with Bella. "She graduated early with her Bachelors and just got into law school this year."
I looked at her completely impressed, how did she finish her Bachelors so early? "So how long did it take for you to get your bachelors?"
Bella looked slightly embarrassed, but answered, "I finished in two years." Damn! "I took summer classes and mini semesters as well so I got it done pretty fast and I had AP credits from high school." She was being modest but she shouldn't be, that is really amazing that she completed school that fast. She is really dedicated.
Alice nudged her way into the kitchen, "Wow, that's really impressive Bella! I wish I could do that! But I have to work at the same time." She frowned; Alice wanted to finish with school as soon as possible to get into her career.
"Actually, hells Bells over here has been working two jobs while get her bachelors." Jasper ruffled her hair as he went into the fridge, "She did in high school too. She is always bus- ow!"
Bella had pinched his skin on his arm, "Why don't you stop blabbing and mention something about you?"
He rubbed his arm and looked upset, "Fine, I got my Bachelors in Psychology like Bells here and am getting my Masters in Child Development." He was still rubbing his arm; "I got a scholarship for basketball here. Our parents," Pointing to Rose, "Both went here."
Bella smiled, "My parents went here too." She looked over at me and Alice, pointing to Jasper and Rose as she spoke, "My mom is their moms twin sister, though they are completely different in every way but physical appearance, though my mom has more of a darker hair color."
Rose laughed, "Yeah, our dad was best friends with Bella's dad, Charlie. He ended up introducing my parents by accident at a party because him and my mom were in the same freshmen group and met up again there. Then like a year goes by and my mom introduced Charlie to Bella's mom Renee."
Alice awed at the story. That was truly adorable. I guess this was the place to find love. "Our parents met here too, our mom had tripped over my dad's books as he was studying for his class in the courtyard, and as they say the rest is history." Alice smiled.
Bella and Rose awed, they started talking about going to the store together after that. I am not really sure how that became a topic though. I was slightly focused on Bella for a second when a memory came back from last night that made my face completely red.
We had kissed last night.
