I watched in the mirror as make up artists swarmed around me. Some were waving my hair, while others were attacking my face. I sighed, waiting for the torture to be over. I felt my hands being squeezed. I carefully glanced to my right and left, meeting the eyes of my best friends Rose and Alice, who were currently in the same position as me.

Actually, Rose was my twin sister. We were 21 and were fraternal twins. We actually looked very much alike except for the hair, eyes, and personality. She looked more like our father and I resembled our mother. We both had the slim figure, luscious curves, 5'8'' height, creamy skin, plump lips, large eyes, thick lashes, thick hair, and pearly, straight teeth. The differences were that Rose had slightly wavy, shining blonde hair and vibrant blue eyes, whereas I was a gleaming auburn that curled at the ends and had soft, chocolate, brown eyes. We were inseparable. Rose was outspoken, confident, and a tad arrogant, but I was tactful, quiet, and respectful. Both of us were caring though. We complimented each other nicely. We were always the stunning twins. I guess that kind of happens though when you are the products of two gorgeous people.

Our father, Carlisle Hale, whom Rosalie took her looks from, had slick, blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. He has a lean and slightly muscular figure, measuring about 6'3'' He is almost 50 and still looks 30. He is a internationally known plastic surgeon. Our mother, Esme Platt-Hale, whom I took after, has wavy, caramel hair. She also has chocolate, brown eyes. She is curvy, slim, and measures about 5'7''. She is a famous interior designer. She owns her own company: "Platt Designs." Our parents were high school sweethearts. My father was the star of the baseball team. He played shortstop. My mom was the girl who was part of every club. They won prom king and queen every year as well as homecoming king and queen. My father's dream to play major league baseball was ruined when Esme got pregnant with our big brother Jasper. Though, he recovered and became the renowned surgeon he is now.

Our brother Jasper is a year and a half older than us. He is currently 23 years old. He is 6'4" and looks like Rose and our dad. He has my mom's thick, wavy hair, but has Carlisle's blonde color and blue eyes. He has a slim figure like our dad, but muscular. He is very calm and protective. He always had a large interest in history, especially the Civil War. He proved to have the baseball gene because he was the star short stop from our high school team too.

We were originally from San Antonio, Texas, but moved to Forks, Washington when Rose and I were 13, so we all still have a tiny accent, especially Jazz. My mother ran her Seattle-based business from home, whereas my father would take weekly trips up there to perform surgery and have consultations. When he wasn't at his office in Seattle, he worked as an emergency doctor at Forks' Hospital.

When we first arrived, Rose and I were in 8th grade, so we attended the middle school and Jazz, who was in 9th grade was starting his first year at their public high school. Rose and I immediately clicked with Alice Brandon. They were both in our grade too. It was funny how Jazz happened to befriend Emmett Brandon, Alice's older brother, and Edward Masen, Alice and Emmett's cousin.

Alice is 5'4'', but her bold, confident, bubbly personality makes up for her height. She is probably the most energetic person I know. She has black, slightly spiky hair that reaches her chin with large, gray eyes. She has a slim, curvy body. The pixie was a shopping maniac. She had a great fashion sense.

Emmett was probably the biggest person I had ever seen. He was 6'6'' and was built like a body builder. He was insanely muscular. He had dark brown, short, curly hair with deep bluish, gray eyes. He looked really scary, but in truth he was probably the sweetest guy I've ever met. He is just a huge teddy bear. He was the star catcher on Forks' baseball team.

Edward looked like a god. I was attracted to him from the first time I laid eyes on him. He had sexy, messy, bronze hair and piercing green eyes framed by thick black lashes. He had angular features and plump lips. He was slightly more muscular than Jasper but much less so than Emmett and he was also 6'4". He was the star pitcher on the baseball team.

During Alice, Rose, and I's 10th grade year at school, we finally hooked up with the boys. Alice began dating Jazz, Rose dated Em, and I dated Edward. It wasn't long before the little fling became full blown love. I loved Edward with all my heart and still do. During their senior year, they were given offers to join the Boston Red Sox's minor team in the hopes of eventually becoming part of their major league team. We were terribly distraught because this meant them leaving, but it just wasn't something that they could turn down. The Red Sox were one of the best teams in the MLB. We understood this and were supportive of them. We tried to keep a long distance relationship, but we all ended up getting caught up in our lives and it just didn't work out. We haven't really spoken to them properly in 3 years. In a way we were sort of ditched, but we had to move on.

During our sophomore year, Alice, Rose, and I joined the dance team. We slowly proved to be the best. By senior year, we were co-captains. We coped with the absence of our boys through dancing. It definitely helped when half way through the year we broke it off with the boys. During our explosive, last concert, the father of a freshman came up to us. He turned out to be one of the main CEOs of Victoria's Secret. He told us that he loved our look and would love to have us come to their headquarters in L.A. to discuss the possibilities of us becoming "Angels," if we of course were interested. We were very excited and saw this as a chance to become new people. We flew down there once we graduated and after doing some practice shoots and participating in a small runway to prove we could actually model, we became Angels.

It's been three years since we've first started, and we've become as famous as Adriana Lima, Miranda Kerr, and Marissa Miller. In fact they were all our peers and very good friends of ours. Heidi Klum was like a second mother to all of us.

The company loved to publicize things using Rose and I because of our "twin beauty." Though, they would put Alice in shoots with us too because of the best friend factor. We had great chemistry. All three of us had had our share of dates from the industry. The most famous pair ups were when we dated three Abercrombie, Calvin Klein, and Armani models Jacob Black, Seth Clearwater, and Jared Wolfe. I was with Jake, Alice with Seth, and Rose with Jared. It lasted for about 8 months before we broke up with them because we saw it just wasn't going anywhere. They still hold the torch for us unfortunately because every chance they get they are trying to get us back. In fact, there are still rumors circulating about our "rekindling" relationships. Those boys aren't doing anything to stop the rumors either. When we first got together, the tabloids were going crazy; why would they stop now, when they sold so much off our relationship?

Edward, Emmett, and Jasper were now star players on the major league Red Sox team. They played two years of minor ball before going into the majors. Edward is a starting pitcher, Emmett plays catcher, and Jazz plays shortstop. They have been so consumed in baseball that they don't even know that we are Angels. We saw Jazz briefly at Christmas a year ago, but never got the chance to really talk with him. We find most things out from the tabloids. All three of them seemed to have dated around a bit as well. Rose and I met one of Jazz's girlfriends. Her name was Maria and let me say, what a bitch. They dated for a year She called us skanks even though she was wearing one of the shortest skirts I have ever seen in my life, which is pretty impressive since I am a Victoria's Secret model. I haven't even mentioned her fake boobs that were falling out of her tiny shirt and the make up caked on to her face. Ew. I could barely even touch her. Rose attacked her when she called her a fake bitch. I didn't do anything but cheer Rose on. I was about to help her when Jazz came over and pulled Rose off. Once he tended to Maria he yelled at us for being so "rude" to his girlfriend. He called us spoiled bitches before leaving with Maria. We haven't talked since. Rose and I cried our eyes out that night. Our brother had always protected us against people like Maria, and now he was taking her side. We got over it though and moved on with our life. They finally broke up when she was caught in a cheating scandal. Let's just say Rose and I weren't surprised.

Edward dated a girl named Tanya. She was one of Maria's friends. Their relationship probably lasted a year as well, but he broke it off with her because "he didn't have time" or "he was worried about Tanya doing the same thing to him that her BFF Maria did to Jazz." I don't really know the real answer; the things I do know are from tabloids. Sad right?

Emmett dated the third BFF slut, Kate. Again his relationship with her lasted about a year before breaking up with her around the same time Jazz and Edward broke up with their girlfriends. They have had other girlfriends here and there, but none as long as those.

I would be lying if I said that it didn't hurt hearing about all the girlfriends Edward has had because it hurt like a bitch. I was always so heartbroken. I used to cry when I heard about his girlfriends, but now I've just learned to live with it. It's almost like I've become numb to all things Edward. Rose and Alice feel the same way about Em and Jazz.

I know that Emmett and Edward don't talk to Ally either. They got mad at her when she claimed that their girlfriends (I think you an guess which ones) were just using them and were huge sluts.

I sighed thinking about our pathetic past. It's unbelievable how inseparable we used to be, and now we have to read about them in the tabloids.

"Bella, it's time to change; show starts in 20." I nodded my head at Luke, but before getting up I quickly examined myself in the mirror. I had wavy sex hair with a dark smoky eye and dark pinkish red lips. My cheeks had an innocent blush to on them. I quickly launched out of the chair and hurried over to the changing station. I stripped out of my robe and stood buck-naked waiting for them to begin spraying my body with make up. I probably usually have 10 pounds on my butt alone. I hate having so much make-up on, but it's a must with my profession. You deal with what they put on you and make it work. After being sprayed. I put on a teal, embroidered, huge push-up bra with matching, tiny, embroidered panties. My personal dresser, Paolo (he was Italian), handed me nude, sparkly pumps (we all were wearing these). He also helped me strap on sparkly, turquoise, fluffy wings. I quickly let the make up artists touch up my boobs before rushing to get in line.

I got into my spot behind Rose. We were starting the show, walking together. She was wearing the same outfit as me but in a pinkish red. We joined hands before I released hers to walk to the other entrance and then we waited for our model director, Giovanni (we called him Gio though), to signal our start. I felt the usual excited butterflies as I heard the announcer.

"Welcome to the 2010 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. We will be showing designs for the upcoming year. Now please welcome our musical guest, Black Eyed Peas!" I heard as "Boom Boom Pow" began. We waited a couple beats before Gio signaled us to start. Rose and I both stepped forward in sync. The second the audience saw us they burst out screaming more than ever before. I smiled and kissed at the audience. I smirked at Rose and we both walked towards Will. before shaking our hips a little with him and continued to make our way towards the point that formed the front of the stage. Once there we joined hands and did complimentary poses. We then giggled as we made our way down the path the other had entered on. Right before we exited backstage, we both turned and blew kisses at the audience, which caused much more screaming.

"MY BESTFRIENDS ARE HOTTIES!" Alice yelled before stepping out to do her own walk. I got a quick glimpse of her. She was wearing a black corset with silver metallic panties. I heard the audience scream for her as I rushed back to Paolo to get into my second outfit. I wasn't going to take part in the next set. Instead, I was going to participate in the "Secret Forest" one, which was requiring very intricate outfits. Only the more experienced and famous models would take part in this one. The next set would be made up of mostly aspiring angels.

I weaved my way through a connected bra and panty set. The push-up bra was made up of weaved flower vines that sort of twisted it's way down onto my nude panties. I wore wings made up of these flower vines. Some of the flowers trailed down onto the floor. For this set, I would be wearing nude pumps with flower vines from my panties that trailed down my legs and attached to some wrapped precisely around my shoe. It was a bitch to put on, but I have to say once I saw how it looked, I was blown away. They sprayed some glitter on my tummy, back, shoulders, and legs before allowing me to get back in line. Once in line, they quickly retouched my make up. I met up with Rose in line. She was wearing a green push-up bra made of leaves and a thong also made up of leaves. Her pumps looked like leaves, but of course they weren't. She wore wings that were made up of branches with leaves hanging off. She looked like a forest goddess.

As we waited in line, Alice caught up to us. She was wearing panties that looked like a birds nest and her bra looked like eggs. She had branches coming off her panties to help form wings. Real birds sat on her wings. She was wearing feathery, white pumps. She looked very scared of the birds.

"Scared Alice?" Rose laughed.

"Shut up."

"Aw, you guys are so cute." I was petting the birds when Rose came to join me.

"How can you guys touch those things! They could like take an eye out!"

"You are overreacting Alice; they are adorable."

"Girls! Don't touch the birds; we need them to stay on. Plus, the secret forest has started. Bella you're on in 2." Gio commanded. I nodded and took my place in line.

When he gave me the signal, I stepped out and began my walk. I heard the audience gasp as they took in my appearance before starting to wildly cheer. The black-eyed peas weren't out here for this set. Instead, they played "Flying" from the movie Peter Pan. I tried to look fierce, but playful at the same time. The lighting that they had for this set allowed me to see some faces in the audience. I knew my parents were going to be here since this was one of the biggest fashion shows of the year for Rose and I. As I was posing and acting, I looked for them. When I finally saw them, I almost fell out of my act because sitting front row staring at me stunned and in awe was Edward Masen. I barely registered Emmett and Jazz next to him. I looked at him with wide eyes, but kept my signature smirk on my face. I gave the audience a wink and for Edward's sake a little "booty tooch" before continuing to make my way down the stage. Once I got off, before running back to change into my final outfit, I ran to Rose and Alice who were waiting to go on. Rose was next; I had to make this fast. "Girls! Edward, Emmett, and Jazz are here. Front Row. I almost had a panic attack on stage. Warning." They looked at me with wide eyes as Rose was told to step out on stage. She was relaxed herself as exposed herself to the audience.

I wanted to wait until Rose got back to talk to her about this, but I saw Paolo waving frantically at me to get over to my station. I then remembered how complicated this was to put on, and we had to get it off in less time.

Once I finally got the beautiful misery off, he put me in a midnight blue, diamond-covered push up bra and panty set. It had diamond, covered pieces of fabric weaving their way across my stomach attaching it elegantly to my panties. I put on diamond, covered pumps. I had already missed the "PINK" set. I was going to close the show with Rose. We were wearing matching outfits.

I joined her in line. "Rose, did you see?"

"Yeah…shit. I like practically hyperventilated; I didn't, but still."

"I know what you mean. What do we do?"

"I say we act distant. We need to show them what they are missing. Bells you and I are going to do our extra sexy walk, got it?"

"Kay. Sounds good. Oh, here's Alice." Alice approached us wearing a sexy, gold push up bra and panty set and diamond-covered pumps.

"Those bastards. What are they doing here!" She whisper-yelled.

"Listen Ally, we are gonna show 'em what they're missing. If they talk to us, be distant. Kay? You gotta go. Be sexy!" Rose informed her as Alice was whisked away by Gio.

"Deep breaths Bells. I'll be right there with you. We are sexy and hot. Those guys don't know what's coming to them. We are Angels!"

"You're right! They are gonna get it. Let's go make them hard Rosey." We went to our given entrances and smirked at each other before starting our walks. I made sure to walk like wind was blowing at me. I tried to be the sexiest I could be. I feel like I sound like a kitten trying to be a lion. I was always known for my innocence. Whatever, today I'm going to be the "bad girl."

When we met at the point, we put our arms around each other's waist and intertwined our closest legs before doing edgy poses looking anywhere but the front row. As we finished, I glanced down and saw them fidgeting. HA! Rose noticed too because she smirked at me.

Once we got backstage we high-fived quickly before getting back in line to do the finale. Us main angels were at the front. I was next to Rose, Alice, and Alessandra. We did a little dance before our way backstage. I ran off to Paolo, who had clothes for the after party ready for me. I changed into a skin-tight, one shoulder, midnight blue cocktail dress that went to my mid-thigh paired with black satin, heeled sandals. I put on some 18-karat, gold plated, dangly earrings. I grabbed my clutch before meeting Rose and Alice by the exit.

Rose was in a red, draped, one-shoulder dress that flowed gently down to her knees. She wore black stilettos and diamond, dangly earrings. She carried a diamond, encrusted clutch. As always she looked amazing.

Alice wore a one-shoulder, hot pink, draped pink dress that ended mid-thigh. She paired it with Valentino black pumps. She hung pearl and crystal earrings from her ears and carried a light pink, jewel-encrusted clutch.

I linked arms with them and we walked out to our limo.

"Okay girls. Since our parents all have tickets to the after party, we should assume that they do too. Distant right?" Alice said

"Yes. Distant, and do a lot of flirting with other guys. A lot, Bella; break out of that shy exterior!" Rose answered.

"Ma'am yes, ma'am!" Alice laughed at me.

"Ha-ha, you are so funny." Rosalie countered. We continued talking strategy until we finally got to the party. My stomach was in knots as we entered the energetic club. When Rose and I saw our mama, we ran to her. We can't help it. It's our mama, and we haven't seen her in a while because of work.

"Oh my girls!" She exclaimed as we gave her a big hug. I missed my mama.

"You gals were gorgeous up there. My babies were so grown up. Let me look at you." We stepped back with huge smiles and holding hands as we complied with our mama's wishes. "My babies are beautiful, young ladies. Come here." She was crying softly as she pulled us into her arms again.

"May I see my daughters?" We turned to see our father and immediately attacked him. Our family was always very close knit…well except for the whole Jasper incident. "Your mother's right you two are so beautiful. It was a sight to see you onstage." We smiled at him.

"Thank you daddy." We set at the same time then broke out in giggles. TWIN MINDS!

"Alright, we're gonna go dance. We're gonna have dinner with you guys tomorrow right?" Rose asked.

"Wouldn't miss it for the world baby." Our mama kissed both of our foreheads before Alice interrupted.

"BELLA, ROSE! STRAWBERRY MARGHERITA AND PINA COLATA RIGHT!" We gave our mom an apologetic look, which she just smiled at, as we ran to find Alice.

"Yes, Ally." Rose answered once we found her.

"It's on us." I instantly stilled as I heard the familiar velvety voice say. I turned around slowly and was met face to face with Edward.

"Uh, no thanks. We got this. We have been taking care of ourselves for four years," I snapped as Rose and I set up a tab. Rose gave me a subtle thumbs up before turning back to them. All three looked to be shocked and guilty at the same time. Edward was looking at me with love as well. I shook that one off though.

"You guys were great up there. Esme was right. You guys are beautiful ladies."

"Thank you Emmett, but now if you will excuse us we are going to hit the dance floor." Rose said, pulling Alice and I with her. We got into a line and began grinding with each other. Alice was in the middle, so Rose and I could save grinding with each other. Rose was asked to dance with this guy named like Tyler Crowley, so that left Alice and I to have our own party. I felt a tap on my shoulder.

"Hi. My name's Mike Newton." He was this guy with spiky, blonde hair and baby blue eyes. He was sort of attractive, I guess, but had nothing on Edward.

"Yes, so what am I supposed to do with that information?" I asked, kinda bitchy.

"Well, um, do you want to dance?"

"Sure."

Alice had just left with this guy named Eric Yorkie, while I began dancing with this "Mike." I could sense Edward watching me, so I turned up the heat a bit, remembering Rose's words. Suddenly felt his lips on mine, and I decided to go with it for a bit. I could see making out with Tyler from the corner of my eye. I continued to make out with him, but suddenly I felt him dragging me off the dance floor and into an alley. That's when I started to fight with him.

"Mike. Let go of me!" His grip just tightened. I tried to punch him, but he caught my hand and started sliding my dress up my thighs. I tried screaming, but his mouth muffled my cries for help. Suddenly, he was off me and on the floor. Edward towered over him and was kicking his gut. When he stood up, Edward just punched him in the nose. Once I fully registered what was happening I ran over to stop Edward before he got himself in trouble. Emmett and Jazz beat me to it. Jasper held Edward back, while Emmett handled Mike. Rose and Alice then ran out to me. Rose gathered me into her arms, and Alice took a protective stance in front of me.

I saw Mike hobble his way down the street as Emmett watched. Finally, all three boys turned back and walked towards our little huddle.

Edward looked pained. "Bella, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Uh, thanks."

"It's never a problem." There was an awkward silence.

"Well, we are gonna head out. See you in three years!" Alice said, and we started walking through the alley to our car.

"Wait!" That surprisingly came from Jasper. "We need to talk about this."

"Why would you want to talk to bitches like us?" Rose snapped.

"You guys aren't bitches. I was stupid for ever saying that. Really stupid. Beyond stupid."

"Yeah, you got that right." I mumbled.

"Please, Rosey. Can we talk about all of this?" Emmett looked at Rose and used his irresistible, cute face.

I could see Rose melting, and I was about to deny them the right, when Edward softly said, "Bella?" I looked at his smoldering eyes, and I was a goner. "Please?"

I sighed, "Fine, but not now. Tomorrow. Zoo at Central Park. 11 o' clock."
