Bella POV

I always missed Edward when he went away hunting, but fortunately Alice always found a way to get my mind off of him. Being over-protective like he is, he didn't want me alone while he was away……I wondered what he was bribing Alice with this time.

Luckily it was a sunny day so shopping was out of the question. But I wouldn't put it past Alice to come up with another…interesting way to fill my time.

As it was all girls this weekend, we thought a good old fashioned sleepover would be the best way to occupy our time. After Alice had finished beautifying me from head to toe, Rosalie had grown bored of the makeover antics.

Esme came up to check on us. She informed us that there was a new movie out on DVD that she thought we would enjoy. Rosalie agreed instantly and I wasn't hesitant to follow her lead. The smell of hairspray was leaving me quite dizzy.

"So not fair Bella, I can't do makeovers with no one to put makeup on," Alice sighed.

"You know I would do almost anything for you Alice, but I think Edward would like to be able to recognize me when he gets back. If we don't stop with this makeup soon I'm not so sure that will be possible." I was hoping that this would cause her to come and watch the movie with us.

"Alright then," Alice groaned. Her tone made me feel a bit guilty, but I had done many things for her against my will, including a few thousand makeover sessions.

By the time Alice and I got downstairs, Rosalie already had the movie on the main menu.

"Sweeney Todd!?" Alice shouted. "This won't really help our appetites. Just make sure this is off by the time Jasper gets home!" I knew Alice cared about Jasper, but I had a feeling that resisting fake blood would be immensely easier than the real stuff.

Personally, I wasn't sure I wanted to watch this movie myself. All of a sudden I wished I hadn't refused Alice's makeover. With my fear of blood, this movie and I would not make a good pair. I felt bad for the one who would be sitting next to me in my line of fire.

'Suck it up,' I told myself, 'None of this is real blood. You can do it.'

Rosalie clicked play and I braced myself for the worst.

It wasn't as bad as I expected. The blood looked a lot like tomato sauce. Alice stopped worrying about the temptation the second she saw what the blood looked like.

It was getting late and my stomach was betraying me. With the super-vampire hearing they all had, they would know that I was hungry in a few minutes anyways.

I was about to get up to wander into the kitchen when Alice said, "Oh, Bella, we forgot that you need to eat a bit more often than us."

"That's ok," I replied. I was getting used to eating a little less considering I spent most of my time in a house that had no food in it. "Do you mind if I order a pizza?"

"Not at all," Esme replied in her usual motherly voice.

I picked up the phone and dialled the local pizza joint.

"Hello, Pizza de Nando, how can I help you?" the voice on the other end asked.

"Ummm….a small pepperoni pizza," I answered. It sounded a bit more like a question than an answer but I think the guy helping me got the point. I gave the guy the address.

"It'll total 5.87 and should be there in 30 minutes or its free."

"Thanks," I hung up.

What was I to do with the next 30 minutes? I felt like having some me time away from the others for a change. I had some reading to catch-up on so I headed up to my soon-to-be room and grabbed my book , Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and cuddled up on the bed to start reading. It was hard to concentrate though because the bed smelt of Edward.

I could slowly feel my eyelids drooping and next thing I knew I was off in my dreamland filled with visions of Edward.

So we hope you liked the first chapter. There are many more to follow. The second chapter will be posted later tomorrow. Thanks please REVIEW!
