Letting Loose

Chapter 1: This is the life

BPOV

"Wake up, Bella!"

Ugh. Friends. Why, oh why do I put up with them? And why do they have do be such morning people?

"No." I groaned and stuffed my face into my pillow.

"But Bella, we are going to be late!" Alice whined.

Alice. The most energetic ball of sprite you could ever imagine. She was quite small for her age and didn't like being teased about it by me. She is the total opposite of myself; she is beautiful, has curves, is outgoing, fun and loves shopping. But me, I'm plain, self-conscious, I blush a lot, I have unnaturally pale skin, shy and happen to dislike shopping. But that doesn't stop her at all.

Suddenly I felt a large whack to the back of my head.

"Bella, if you don't get your lazy ass out of bed I will personally kick your ass out of your bed for you." Rose threatened.

Ah, there is no one who is bitchy quite like she is. Rose is gorgeous. Soft wavy blonde hair, beautiful blue eyes, a killer body and the power to get any man she wanted. When you have friends like that, how can you possibly think of yourself as pretty?

I sighed. I might as well get out of bed now and not suffer. Slowly, I lifted my face from the pillow and yawned, stretching my hands above my head.

"Oh, the dead awakens," Rose teased, smirking at me.

"Hilarious. Now I probably don't have a say in my outfit for the journey, so give it to me so I can get changed already." I grumbled. I am not a morning person.

"In such a good mood already, Bella?" Alice said sarcastically, "Anyway, here it is and I don't want to hear any complaints from you missy! Just hurry up!" She said stuffing a light bag in my face.

Feeling defeated, I rose from my bed and went into the bathroom to change. I fearfully began to pull out the contents of the bag and for once, it actually wasn't that bad. Before I over thought things I threw the navy blue blouse, pants and black boots. I grabbed my hairbrush and tried to de-tangle my long, messy brown hair. I looked in my mirror and saw my boring brown eyes staring back. I sighed as I realised that however much anyone tried to make me look better, I would still be plain Bella. I wouldn't say I am ugly, just plain, nothing special. I quickly brushed my teeth and ran back to Alice and Rose.

"Good your back, now come here so we can do your makeup." Rose ordered and she motioned me to sit on a chair.

"I'm not going to have a choice am I?" I asked looking at them both

"Nope." They both replied grinning at me.

Reluctantly, I sat in the chair and waited for the torture to be over. They outdid themselves, as I didn't look that bad, they actually made me feel a little bit pretty.

"I don't know why you make such a big fuss over this, Bella. It's not really that bad. Don't you want to look nice?" Alice questioned. I looked at her like she had five heads.

"Alice, there is no point," I sighed, "I am not pretty and I will nev-"

Rose interrupted me and stared at me like I was missing something obvious. "Bella you are beautiful! Why won't you believe it? Can't you see yourself?"

"I don't know why either of you bother."

"We bother because we care for you! You're our best friend and we bitches stay together!" She said sternly.

"Hell yeah!" Alice chirped, smacking Rose's hand in a high five. I giggled despite myself. "That's it Bella. We are going to get you to let loose whilst we are on holiday! We are going to get you to gain confidence and bring out the wild side of you!"

This was going to be one hell of holiday.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

After declaring our mission for the holiday, we finished packing and stuffed our suitcases into Alice's Porsche, her beloved treasure; it was comical of how she treated it. She even wrapped a blanket around it from getting cold in the garage when it was going to be cold at night!

As we drove we thought we needed to have some fun and cheer up the atmosphere. I turned the radio and pushed it up to full blast and we rolled down our windows causing other drivers to look at us weirdly. So what by Pink came on and we belted out the lyrics and danced in the car so much it shook.

So, so what?

I'm still a rock star

I got my rock moves

And I don't need you

I tried to teach Rose how to do a perfect electric guitar and rock star moves but she kept on banging her head on the roof of the car when she got too into it. I was crying with laughter by the end.

Suddenly a car came past with a load of teenage boys. "Looking good!" They shouted along with a few wolf whistles.

I blushed bright red and ducked my head into my neck, slouching in my seat. That was embarrassing, but I was actually having fun. I sighed.

"Aw! They made Bella blush now she had gone back to shy!" Alice complained. I fought the urge to roll my eyes.

"Come on Bella please be fun again!" Alice begged. I could still feel the heat in my face so I kept my head down. I smiled meekly and became suddenly interested by the car floor.

"Please, Bella?" She whined again.

I sighed looking up at her, but when I saw she was using her infamous pout I couldn't help but agree.

"Ugh! Fine, you know I am a sucker for that pout, Alice!" I grinned shaking my head.

"Yeah! Lets do this thing!" She responded happily as she drove maniacally towards the airport.

We arrived at the airport in a happy mood and it luckily stayed that way though out the whole plane journey. I was proud of myself as I did everything without any complaints. Maybe I was starting to let loose a little already.

As we were about to get of the plane I gasped. It was beautiful.

I had never been to New York but now I don't want to ever leave. I was amazing and I'm sure by the snickers I could here from my friends as they so lovingly yanked me forward and the fact that my jaw was practically on the floor, they could tell I was amazed too.

I had never been to New York, or any of the major cities in America. I grew up in Phoenix with my mum as my parents broke up and my dad moved to Forks in Washington. I chose to stay here with my mum as Phoenix was a lot hotter than Forks and also had much more things to do. Phoenix is also where I met Alice and Rose. We first met at school when this girl, Tanya, was pushing me around because I was new and they came to my rescue by flinging cookies at her, as they didn't like her much either, and we became best friends from there. We have had each other's backs since. Code law: Always be armed with a pack of cookies. I chuckled under my breath. Those times were great.

"Hello, earth to Bella?" Alice frantically waved her hand in front of my face.

"Sorry I was thinking," I have been known to get lost in my thoughts often. Obviously, I was quite out of it as we were already in a taxi and were heading of to the outskirts of the city to the apartment we rented for our vacation.

"Okay then, but while we are here lets check the jobs we need to do over this vacation" Alice said whilst grinning wickedly at me.

Uh Oh. This won't be good.

Rose started, "Number one, get Bella to gain confidence in herself."

"Number two, get Bella to let loose."

"Number three, to get Bella to see how beautiful she really is."

They didn't seem too much, I suppose. "Fine," I quickly agreed.

Alice and Rose looked shocked that I took it so easily, then beamed at me.

"We might still add more, but that's all we have, for now." Rose grinned brightly at me then laughed at the scared look on my face.

Maybe this wasn't such a good idea agreeing to this. I attempted to calm my thoughts of the worst case scenarios but they were immediately forgotten when I looked at our apartment. It was right by the sea and had a wonderful view. It was a double-floored apartment and there was one next to it but no more. There was a huge pool and deck chairs surrounding it. The whole apartment had a lovely modern feel to it. I dashed out of the car and quickly ran into the apartment to claim the best bedroom. I found my favourite and collapsed on the comfy queen sized bed.

Maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

"Hey, Eddie! Hurry up in the shower dude. We need it too!" Emmett shouted banging on the bathroom door.

"Wait your turn like a good little boy." I smirked.

"I'm not little!" Emmett whined as his footsteps got quieter.

Emmett is one of my best mates. He is unbelievably huge and strong, but on the inside he is just like a giant teddy bear. It is hard not to like him.

I finished my shower and dried myself, and then I went into my bedroom to change. I opened my bedroom door and there he was, in all of his massive glory.

"Finally!" He said as he ran past me into the bathroom. How can one person love his shower so much? I don't think I will ever know.

I made my way over to the kitchen to grab myself some breakfast before we leave. I grabbed some lucky charms and greeted Jasper who was already eating his breakfast.

"Hey Edward, still loving those Lucky Charm things, eh?" He teased.

"Don't mock them Jasper, they have a heavenly taste to them." I defended my food and pulled it closer to my body, whilst glaring at Jasper.

Jasper just smirked at me and continued eating. He was my other best mate. He is always very calm and collected and can make you feel better about anything, but when you have a mate like Emmett then you become to act a bit like them. Unfortunately, Jasper has taken to mocking me like Emmett does, just not so often. He is shorter than I am but sometimes can easily beat me in a wrestling match, which is just unfair.

Emmett came in half and hour later and we set the car up for our road trip to New York where we were going to stay for the summer. We were told that the apartment is right by the sea having an excellent view and it has got two floors with a pool that is shared with the neighbours. Overall, it had what we needed to we went for it.

We left our flat and jumped into my precious Volvo and I started to drive. The whole way all Emmett and Jasper were doing was bickering about what type of girl is better. It was doing my head in.

"Guys, seriously, I don't care. So can you please shut up?" I complained banging my head on the back of my seat.

"Just cause you are a prude, Eddie, you don't need to ruin all our fun." Emmett retorted.

"You know I am not a prude. And I hate that nickname."

"But, Edward, you act like one!" He grinned poking the back of my head whilst laughing with Jasper at me.

Ugh. Why is this road so long? I hope we get there soon.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

It was turning dark and we had just reached the New York, now all we needed was to find the place.

"Emmett, where are the directions to this place?" I asked him.

"Err…" He said shuffling around in his bag. "Um…wait a second…"

Oh my god, please tell me he didn't. "Please tell me you didn't leave them at our flat…"

"I didn't I swear, Edward!" Emmett said fearfully, "I remember putting them in here somewhere…" He fumbled around in his bag desperately.

"Jasper, can you help look for th-" I paused when I saw Jasper was silently laughing hysterically on his seat.

"This isn't funny Jasper!" I said frustrated. How could he be laughing when we don't know where the apartment is!

"But, it is!" He gasped between laughs.

"How, Jasper?!" I growled at him whilst trying to desperately keep my eyes on the road.

"Because-" He calmed down and reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out the directions, "I knew Emmett was going to loose them so I put them in my jacket so we would definitely have them" He smirked.

"Jasper!" Emmett and I yelled at him.

"Come on! I helped us… Right?" Jasper feebly attempted to get us to talk to him.

Emmett whirled round to face him. "Why does no-one trust me!" He wailed using his classic puppy dog pout.

I sighed and rolled my eyes as Jasper whacked him on the arm.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

After and hour of trying to use the directions we got to the apartment and it was just like we had imagined. I may have to think about buying this place for real.

"Wow. This place is wicked!" Emmett loudly whistled.

"Yeah." Jasper agreed as he pulled out the suitcases from my Volvo. "Hey look, our neighbours are already here." He pointed to a yellow Porsche on the driveway.

"Sexy car…" Emmett cooed staring lovingly at it. I rolled my eyes and opened the front door.

It was modern on the inside and had a warm feel to it. Emmett and Jasper immediately pushed past me and ran up the stairs towards the bedrooms. I slowly followed behind, taking my time.

"I get this one!"

"No I do!"

"But, I was here first!"

"But, I'm cooler than you!" Emmett exclaimed. Jasper snorted.

"Whatever you say…" Jasper replied sarcastically. This is stupid.

"How about I get it the bedroom? Then you two could stop bickering like two whiney toddlers and actually do something!" I suggested sitting down on the bed and placing my suitcase next to me on the floor.

"Geeze, Eddie, you PMSing or something?" Emmett guffawed.

"Ugh. No I am not. Now leave! I want to sleep." I yawned and pushed them out of the room and slammed the door in their faces.

I could hear their footsteps quieten as they walked down the hallway. "Grouchy much?" Emmett snickered as he and Jasper went to their other rooms.

"He needs to be more fun." Jasper commented with a chuckle.

"Hmm…Jasper, this is going to be fun…Over this holiday we will make our dear Eddie learn the meaning of having fun and make him let loose a little." Emmett conspired as Jasper laughed, "And I was thinking we could…" Their voices trailed off as they got further away.

I really don't think I want to know what they are planning. I passed out cold on my bed, dreaming of how I wished this holiday would fill in the missing things I don't have in my life.

I just had no idea that my dream was going to become reality.

Review please :) ?
