Bella's POV

Finally! It took 22 years but I am finally out of that hell hole called forks. I just moved out of my dad's house yesterday and am on my way to my new house. I've always wanted to visit New York City, and now I get to live there! I have always been the partying type and there isn't anything exciting to do in Forks.

I was pushing my car to its limits as I raced to get to my new home. I can already imagine the city lights and the awesome clubs. We had a few clubs in Seattle but nothing that could compare to New York.

WELCOME TO NEW YORK

The sign said as it flashed past me. I let out my breath, just happy to be remotely close to my new home. It was 9:33 and I had been driving since 5:00. Let's just say I was exhausted.

I was still an hour away by 11:00 and my eyes were drooping. I was contemplating just pulling over into a hotel but I reminded myself that it was only another hour and I didn't need to waste my money. All the movers had already unloaded all my stuff and set it up so when I got home I could just drop dead with exhaustion on my feather bed. Just thinking about it made me more tired.

Its 11:48 and there is traffic everywhere. I guess this really is the city that never sleeps. After many honking horns and a couple of frustrated huffs I finally reached my apartment at 12:36. Oh my god, is it possible to die from exhaustion? If not I will be the first case ever. The second the car was in park I practically ran to the front door. I finally managed to find my key and barged into the apartment.

I didn't even bother to change my clothes. I jumped onto the bed and the second my head hit the pillow I was out like a light.

I groaned and pushed the blanket away from my body. What time is it? I looked over to my alarm clock to see that it wasn't plugged in. I groaned again before getting up and searching for my cell. I eventually found it in the living room and flipped it open to see that it was almost 1! Wow I slept for a long time.

I just sat on my couch, thinking about what I should do. I could clean up the apartment…. Or…. I could go explore the town. It was a hard decision (not!) but I eventually chose to go around town.

I got dressed in a simple blue shirt and some black skinny jeans, throwing on my converse on my way out the door. It was a nice day, not the rainy weather I was used to in Forks, and I was happy with it. I never really did like the rain so this was a relief.

There was a bus stop just ahead so I figured I would go to the part of town where all the clubs were to get a good look at what awaited me tonight. I would definitely need a good party to start off my stay here.

After waiting for a little while the bus finally pulled up. So many people were pushing to get on that I didn't think there would be any room left. The bus driver tipped his hat to me as I dropped my money in the consol and waved me to the back to the bus.

All in all, I ended up sitting next to this old woman that wouldn't shut up about her stupid grandkids. Let's just say I couldn't wait for this ride to be over.

"And Megan just went into the fourth grade. She lives over in New Jersey with her mother and my son. She loves to play the clarinet and I can tell she is going to be a great musician someday. She reminds me so much of myself when I was younger. My other granddaughter, Karla, is so cute. Just the other day-" I swear, if she talked about those damn kids for one more minute I was going to explode. There was a guy with huge muscles and brown curly hair that kept giving me sympathetic glances. I grimaced in his direction and rolled my eyes when the lady was looking through her purse for pictures. He laughed silently and I mouthed 'HELP ME!'. That just got him laughing harder.

"And this is Karla when she was only three day old. Don't they just grow up so fast? Back then she didn't even-"

"Oh my god! Look over there!" I interrupted, my eyes going wide with fake shock. She turned to look and I rushed over to sit across from the muscled man. I closed my eyes and made my position seem effortless, like I had been sitting here the entire time. I heard the muscle man chuckle before I felt a tap on my shoulder. I opened my eyes to see the old lady glaring at me. I put on a smile and spoke as cheerfully as I could.

'Hello Miss, how can I help you?" she glared harder and tapped her finders against the seat.

"What was that all about? One minute I was talking to you and then you just ran away." She said angrily.

"I'm sorry Miss; I've never met you before in my life. I have been sitting in this seat the whole time listening to me IPod. Even ask him." I gestured toward the muscle man in front of me that was suppressing laughter.

"It's true, she's been there the whole time." She huffed in frustration.

"I was just telling you about my grandkids." She smiled smugly as if that would make me want to remember.

"You have grandkids? Congratulations!" I said, overly cheerful. Muscle guy laughed and the lady glared at both of us before walking back to her seat. Muscle guy winked and me and patted the seat next to him. I quirked an eyebrow in his direction but he just patted the seat again wordlessly. I smiled and shrugged my shoulders. Why not sit next to a complete stranger in New York City? I could think of plenty of reasons. He could be a rapist or psychopathic freak that was planning my murder as I sat here, but I didn't care. It might just be worth getting away from the freaky grandma. Plus, he looked nice enough.

"That was classic, the lady is probably thinking about how she is insane." He laughed out as I sat down. I laughed and looked to see that the woman was looking deep in thought at the seat next to her, where I was sitting before.

"Emmett McCarty at your service Miss." He stuck out his hand.

"Bella Swan." I don't know but for some reason I spit on my hand before shaking his. He just seemed like the kind of guy that would love doing something crazy and goofy like that. He laughed before pouting.

"I didn't get to spit! Lets shake again." He eagerly spit in his hand and held it out enthusiastically. I rolled my eyes before spitting in my own hand and shaking his again.

"I have the feeling this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." He said with a smile in his voice before bringing his hand up to his nose and sniffing it. I laughed and punched his extremely large arm.

"You are so weird! But that's means a funny drunk. You want to go clubbing with me tonight? Get wasted hard?" his eyes lit up.

"Hell ya! Party! Party! Party! We can only go as friends though; my girl Rosie would kill me." I laughed.

"I meant it like friends anyway. Why would I want to go out with you?" I mocked disgust and burst out laughing when he pouted again. He just looked so funny! He looked like the scariest thing on the streets and was pouting like a 5 year old.

"Thanks Bellz, you're a real ego booster!" he said sarcastically. I giggled and gave him a one arm hug.

"I know I am!" he rolled his eyes and smiled up at me. I could tell we were going to get along great, he was so funny!

"What's your number? I'll add it to my phone and text you later and meet you at the club.

"802-770-7833" (A/N: I just made up this number so don't call It. lol if this is your number… sorry :D) he typed it into his IPhone before telling me his.

For the rest of the ride, we laughed and joked around like we had known each other forever. I found out that he lived on the same street as me a couple blocks down and worked across the street from the bookshop I was going to start working at on Monday. After a little while, we were the only people left on the bus.

"This is the last stop! Everyone off the bus." I pulled Emmett up off the seat and tugged him out the door.

"Thanks for the ride!" I called over my shoulder. The bus driver smiled before pulling away.

"So where were you riding the bus to anyway?" He asked curiously.

"I was actually coming downtown to look at all the clubs. I was planning on clubbing and getting drunk as hell tonight anyway." We laughed and continued down the crowded sidewalk.

"How bout you?"He shrugged and laughed.

"I was bored and decided to take a random bus ride." I laughed. It was so random, so… Emmett-like.

"Well, let's head home to get changed for a hell of a night!" We linked arms and skipped all the way to our street. People were giving us looks but I didn't care.

"So, why isn't Rosie coming?" I questioned.

"She's visiting a friend in Vermont. I don't know why anyone would want to live in a place like Vermont, it's too boring! Nothing ever happens there and it's too green." By the end he was whining.

"Well, then you have never been to Forks. It's the greenest thing ever and nothing happens. Ever." I sighed dramatically before stumbling on a rock and tripping. I was glad Emmett caught me before my face was rearranged.

"Are you sure you aren't already drunk?" he chuckled out as he set me upright.

"Shut up, I'm just clumsy!" I slapped his arm, obviously not hard enough to hurt him.

"Ow! Bellaboo! I'm hurt." He put on an extreme pout.

"Ya, ya, whatever." I mumbled before taking the turn toward my apartment.

"Text me when you're ready." He called over his shoulder as he continued walking down the street to his house. I laughed and unlocked my front door.

What to wear, what to wear? I thought to myself as I looked through my closet. I eventually decided on a blood red halter top that showed off my cleavage nicely and a short black jean skirt. I knew I would probably kill myself in high heels but didn't really care at the moment. I threw on some black stilettos and grabbed some cash, stuffing it in my bra, before running to the door, phone in hand.

I was about to text Emmett when I opened my door to see him standing there looking extremely bored up at the sky. He looked at me and smiled.

"Damn, you're looking hot girl! Let's go!" I laughed as he grabbed my arm and practically dragged me to the sidewalk where he hailed a cab.

"You couldn't wait for me to text you?" I asked once we were seated and the taxi driver was given directions to take up to the closest club.

"No I couldn't, you were taking forever!" he complained with a smile. I smacked him in the head and laughed.

"Here we are." Said the cab driver as we pulled up. I thanked him as Emmett gave him the correct amount of money. Once the bouncer saw me he let us in immediately. Emmett just glared at him and moved me along.

"I don't like perverts looking at my little sister." He whispered in my ear on our way to the bar. I was actually really surprised. I had just met him today and he already considered me his little sister? I felt so happy to know that he was now my unofficial big brother.

"Let's get this party started!" I screamed, taking my seat at the bar. A bartender walked up to me and winked.

"What can I get for you little missy?" I giggled and ordered a beer for now. Emmett did the same and the bartender was back in an instant with our drinks.

"I'll race you." He raised his eyebrows in shock before grinning like an idiot and nodding.

"Go!" I brought the glass to my lips and chugged it down faster than you can say 'I want another beer!' we finished at the exact same time.

"We'll get a couple more rounds before hitting the dance floor." That earned a 'whoohoo!' from him and another beer from the bartender.

Many drinks and songs later, me and Emmett were standing on top of the table grinding into each other, dancing to Lady Gaga's Love Game. Everyone was dancing and having a good time.

"We rock bitches!" I yelled before giggling madly. Emmett giggled along with me and began singing the lyrics extremely loudly.

"…want touch you for a minute

Maybe three seconds is enough

For my heart to quit it

Let's have some fun, this beat is sick

I wanna take a ride on your disco stick (huh)

Don't think too much, just bust that kick

I wanna take a ride on your disco stick (huh)

Let's play a lovegame, play a lovegame

Do you want love, or you want fame

Are you in the game (huh)

Dans the lovegame (huh)"

By the end I had already joined him in signing. We cracked up laughing and were leaning on each other for support.

"LET'S BLOW THIS FUCKING POPCICLE STAND!" I yelled over the music in his ear. He nodded sloppily before picking me up bridal style and jumped down from the counter. He started running for the exit, actually pushing a couple people over in the process, me giggling the entire way.

"YO TAXI!" Emmett yelled, his words slurring together as he stumbled, almost dropping me. One pulled up but they were intending to pick up another couple waiting on the sidewalk. Well we couldn't have that, could we? Emmett ran and pushed the other couple out of the way before throwing me into the backseat. I was now giggling uncontrollably and extremely hazy. Emmett hopped in after me and told the taxi my address. How he even remembered it in his drunken state, I will never know.

Another thing I will never know, how we ended up making out in the backseat. I didn't find Emmett attractive at all that way but somehow my tongue ended up in his mouth. Emmett seemed like the big brother type to me, not the boyfriend type, but I really didn't fucking care because I was drunk beyond anything else.

We finally pulled up to my apartment and I stumbled out of the car. I straitened my skirt out and took off my shoes as the taxi pulled away from the curb. It was only a second later when I heard.

"CALL YOU TOMORROW!" I turned around, almost falling over in the process, to see Emmett poking his head out of the taxi window grinning like a madman. I waved and tried to make my way to the front door without falling. I succeeded in that, only to drop my keys at least 10 times trying to open the damn door.

Once inside I threw my shoes somewhere in the kitchen and ran into the living room. I did manage to slide into the couch and flip over it. I should get up and go to bed… and then I passed out on the couch.

What a crazy night.

Okay, let me clear some stuff up. This isn't a BellaXEmmett FF, they only kissed because they were out of their minds drunk. Rosalie is Emmett's girlfriend and it will stay that way. Emmett is becoming her friend so that Bella will meet the rest of the gang down the road a little ways. She will also fall in love… no its not Edward.

PLZ REVIEW!! THEY MAKE ME HAPPY SO I UPDATE SOONER ;-)
