Summary: After Bella moves in with her new family, she can tell she's going to get along with them just fine. But when her new sister is one of the popular people in school she's a bit out of her depth. The handsome stranger she meets at a club turns out to be something she didn't think possible. "I feel nothing, Edward, where's your heart beat?"

"Welcome to your new home Bella," the chauffer cooed as I stepped out of the Rolls Royce that had been sent to the home to pick me up. I stepped out onto the gravel drive way and looked back down the mile drive to the gates that we're now closing on the road that had led me to this place.
A smile twitched on my lips as I nervously lifted my hand to grasp the shiny gold doorknocker, the double doors swung open and I was caught off guard in a tight hug.
"I have a sister!" The thing that was clung tightly to me yelled as it jumped up and down.
I felt tempted to ruffle her short choppy hair but resisted, as she took my hand in hers, I felt an instant bond and felt that this time things would be better.
"I'm Alice...your sister." Her cheeks rose into a huge grin. A grin that I didn't think possible for such a small person. I couldn't help but have a smile myself; I had never had a sister before. Apart from the girls at the home, but they didn't really count since I was more their bitch than a family member.
I glanced down at her outfit and then at mine, she boasted lilac silk pyjamas that outdid my choice of my old khaki jacket with a stain on the sleeve.
"So....where's Mr. Swan?" I asked, feeling a little out of place in the marble hallway. I glanced around the hall, as if the two staircases arching in towards the hall weren't enough, there was a giant mahogany table. Seated at the head of the table was the most stunning girl I had ever seen!
"Oh dad's in Berlin but he'll be back next week, oh and this is Rosalie, Rosalie this is Bella, my new sister."
Rosalie arched an eyebrow in my direction and gave me a look which can only be described as complete and total disgust.
"Hi," I said as a kind of peace offering.
"Mhmm," is all she replied, eyeing me up and taking in my short linen pants and 'Black Eyed Peas' shirt.
"Well... let's get you outta those clothes for starters. 'Black Eyed Peas', really?" Alice began, dragging me up one of the staircases, where we were followed by a troop of smartly dressed men carrying the only few possessions I had.
"Uhh," I managed not wanting to tell her it had actually been donated to the home and it had taken me ages to get the musty smell out of the material. I inhaled sharply as I took in the huge expanse of closet, designer labels hung around me, surrounded me with their cashmere touch.
Alice flew ahead of me and I lost her through the racks of clothing.
"Perfect!" I heard her call; I swear I heard it echo!
"Here quick put this on! I need to show you to your room." In my hand she placed a tiny dress that can only be described as underwear. I gaped at it, she expected me to wear one this?!
"Alice, this is going to cover nothing!" I stated, slightly horrified that she had gotten my size exactly right.
"Oh come on! You have to look hot for school tomorrow," she pouted sticking her lip out, I couldn't imagine ever looking 'hot' but gave her a shy smile.
"Okay." She gave me a wink and disappeared from sight once more. I took this as my cue and began to peel off my layers until I stood only in my faded grey Wal-Mart underwear.
"Dear God, no!" I heard Alice yell from behind me. "Are you insane?! Wal-Mart underwear?!" She let her head fall to her hands; my cheeks matched the red chipped nail varnish that was occupying my toes.
"Follow me now!" She ordered throwing me a silk bath robe. Leading me through racks and racks of clothing, we ended up at a wall with tiny colourful boxes, which had tissue paper spilling from each, she reached up on her tiptoes grabbed a few and led me again down a long hallway painted a rich plum colour and through a door at the end.
"This is our bedroom, I hope you don't mind sharing but I've never had a sister before." As she said this five more men came through the door carrying what seemed like an endless amount of bags, from Louis Vuitton trunks to Tiffany's jewellery bags.
"What's all this?" I asked, gripping tightly to the bath robe that was covering my hideous underwear.
"Welcome home gifts from daddy and me. We thought that you would like to take a family trip with us next month so we got you some trunks. When I'm done with you, you will know the name of every designer in the world!"
My face falsely gave off excitement when, to me, this sounded like a terrifying prospect. Boxes were being stacked up in every corner as the room began to fill, which is not easy in a room the size of the average basketball court. Dress bags were draped over the two matching four poster beds, each of the bedcovers were embroidered with our initial. I walked over to far bed and my fingers ran over the purple 'B' in appreciation.
"Where would you like these to go Miss?" One of the many butlers asked Alice as she filed her nails.
She glanced up and spoke politely, "Put the purple ones in Bella's bathroom, and the pink ones in mine. Everything that is bought from now on will be colour co-ordinated into those two colours and I want them to be in the right place. Bella, go straight through the door on your right and sort out your bathroom to how you like it, whilst you're in there, put on some clothes 'cause tonight you are going to meet the guys." She winked and then walked through a pink door leaving me staring at a purple one.
"The guys?" I squeaked under my breath, I padded into the bathroom still holding the black dress. I locked the door and splashed cold water over my face. I ran my fingers through my wavy brown hair and breathed in deeply. I told myself that I needed to make a good impression; I also hoped that not everyone would be as unfriendly as Rosalie.
"We have arrived Miss," the chauffer called into the back of the luxurious car.
"Why thank you Chives, we won't need your services later, good night." She waited for the door to open and then climbed out gracefully.
"Good night, Miss Bella."
"Uhh...thanks." I, too, climbed out of the car, but found it troubling in the tight dress that I had been blackmailed into wearing. I tripped up the curb and into the back of a rather tall, broad man. "Sorry," I whispered as I stumbled off to find Alice.
That is not as easy as it sounds in a dim lighted club where everyone decided to wear dark clothing. I weaved in and out of people until I found a tall leather stool which I plonked myself onto; the smell of smoke and booze clouded my thoughts. A tall tanned guy appears at the other side of the bar, his long black hair pulled back into a neat ponytail.
"What's your poison?"
"Excuse me?" I asked politely, what the hell is this guy on about?
"He's asking you what you would like to drink sweet cheeks," a handsome stranger explained.
"Ohh! An apple martini please," I began to root through the abnormally large purse that Alice had issued me with for my wallet, but a hand placed around my wrist stopped me.
"Don't worry about this one sweet cheeks, I got it."
"Thanks," I mumbled, looking the guy up and down. His bronze hair was highlighted by the lights from the bar, his lips were curved into a magnificent crooked smile and his jaw line.....oh my god! His jaw line!
The tanned guy made some sort of display of shaking a silver bottle and then pouring the contents into my glass; he flashed me a grin and then was hustled off to make more drinks. I awkwardly craned my neck and looked out the corner of my eye at the bronze haired stranger and caught him staring at the neckline of my 'dress'.
"So-" I said turning just as he was my hand slipped and the glass flew into the air, the liquid spilling over his crisp white shirt as his hand clamped over the glass before it hit the floor.
"Oh my god, I am so sorry." I squeaked my hands over my mouth.
"Uh...it's fine," he all but growled, his eyebrows were lowered, his eyes turned into a dark amber; his fist was clamped tight at his side. I did all I could not to scurry away like a terrified animal.
"Let me help," I offered, quickly grabbing the cardigan that had previously been over my shoulders and began dabbing at his chest, through his shirt I could feel the sharp planes of his stomach and the tense shiver of his muscles. As I placed my hand on his shirt, it felt as if I had placed my hand in the refrigerator.
"Oh my god! You're freezing!" I exclaimed, my eyes shot up to his and his frown had relaxed but his eyes had become a dark black.
"Uhh...I have to go." And without another word, my bronze haired stranger charged through the crowd.
I felt a jolt at my side.
"There you are Bella!"
"Yeah, sorry about that. It's pretty crazy in here." I said with a smile signalling to the couples dancing or rather dry humping to the beat.
"I would've shown you Jasper but, he left with his brothers," she said and shrugged.
"Jasper?" I asked wanting to get to know this person who had made me so welcome.
"Oh, he's just the most gorgeous guy you have ever seen!"
"Oh I doubt that..."
"Are you holding out on me sis, have you got a boy in the works? Who is he? Was it at your home? Are you in love? What's his name?"
"Love? Don't joke," I said chuckling at the absurdness of the idea.
"Oh come on, you're a babe! Let's walk home and you can tell me all about yourself," she said linking my arm as we made our way outside.
"Walk? In these shoes? Are you crazy?" I asked looking at Alice; she just glanced back at me, her face fully serious.
"I could always give you ladies a ride home." A voice emerged from a dark Jeep behind us.
Through the window I could see the tanned bar tender.
"Name your poison," I stated as I climbed into the back of the car dragging Alice with me.
"Who the fuck is this?" Alice shrieked.
"Jacob Black at your service." He said giving us a cheeky wink. I clambered in beside him and Alice slid gracefully into the back a pointed look on her face.
"You staying with the Swans?" he asked as we sped down the road passing a dark expanse of forest.
"Uhhh...Alice?" I turned around in my seat looking at Alice; she stared blankly out the window.
"We are the Swans, top of the hill, number 14" she answered.
"You don't even know where you live?" Jacob asked slightly surprised.
"I just moved in," I explained.
"Well here we are. Good bye, sorry, what's your name?"
"Bella."
"Well bye, Bella. Bye, Alice."
I lay awake in bed and thought about that guy and cringed at my clumsiness I didn't get far, as my head sank into the warm soft pillow and I shivered with anticipation.
