Chapter one: Midnight sun.
Bella POV:
"All my life I wanted to be somebody, and here I am! I know what I've got and there ain't nobody gonna take it away from me!"
I turned on my iPod and it blared out Suzi Quatro, one of my favourite singers. So while singing along to Suzi I tied back my short dark hair and pulled on my old battered Doc Martens before trudging down the stairs to see Lauren slouched on the couch with a blanket around her and her head in her hands. I failed to keep a straight face.
"Tough night?"
"Fuck off" she mumbled behind her hands and I smirked.
"Coffee?" she hummed in response then met me in the kitchen, I poured her a cup of coffee and grabbed a slice of toast before kissing Lauren's cheek and heading off to work.
I had been working in the hotel 'Midnight sun' for nearly a year now. Midnight sun was the largest vampire hotel in America. (Yeah EVERYONE knows about vampires now mmkayy?) And it was my job to answer any calls from the customers already in the hotel or people wanting to stay here. Thankfully I didn't stand out too much in the hotel, as everyone wore the same type of things and had similar styles. The main thing I did stand out for, being human. The hotel was run by vampires and nearly all employees were vamps too. I was an exception as Aro had become very close friends with Charlie after meeting at the police station when his daughter ran away.
Life was a lot easier these days, vampires and humans lived side by side, after the Cullens left vampires started to reveal theirselves. Shockingly, people didn't seem to worried about being surrounded by blood suckers. One thing was put into action though. A treaty. Vampires and humans could live in harmony, but if a vampire kills a human, they would no longer be welcome. When the treaty was enforced all I thought of was the Cullens, and what they would think of it.
It has been 3 years since the Edward and his family left, and honestly, I didn't miss him as much as I thought I would. If I had to be truthful, I'll admit that I missed him for a while. But after my 19th birthday I decided to move on and I made an effort with my life. I'm 21 now and the Cullens probably wouldn't recognise me if they saw me now. Since they left I changed a whole lot. I cut my long, mud-brown hair short nd dyed it jet black. I also wore make up now and wore clothes that Alice would maybe approve of, if they were pink.
I missed Alice a whole lot, she was my best friend and I thought of her everyday wondering what she would look like now considering I hadn't seen her since my 18th birthday party. Where everything took a turn for the worst.
After the Cullens had left, I realized something I should have known before. Jasper couldn't control himself, it wasn't his fault. Not only did he have to deal with his own bloodlust, but he felt the rest of the families bloodlust too. As if that wasn't bad enough, I was Edward's "singer" which would be like rubbing salt in the wound.
As I stepped into work I weaved through the crowds, the only downfall to working here was the crowds. The hotel was so popular people were booking rooms for next year to make sure there would be enough room. Then you would get the people that were rolling in money that could walk in, click their fingers and get one of the best rooms in the place.
I sat myself down behind the main reception desk, and leaned back. I had the urge to close my eyes, for some reason I didn't manage to sleep very well last night. I figured that I'd be able to have a little nap before the day officially started. Where the phone would ring every two seconds for bookings and queries. I closed my eyes and was slowly nodding off when the phone began to ring. I glared at it before picking up the reciever.
"Hello?" I sighed as I heard another customer wanting a cancelation. We were losing customers a lot this weekend, I was starting to wonder what was going on.
I listened as the man on the end, who sounded very gay, made up a lame excuse for cancelling.
"That's no problem Sir. Thank you for calling. Goodbye" I slammed the phone down and balled my fists in my hair.
"Everything okay, Bella?" I looked up to see my boss, Aro smiling at me.
"Another cancellation" I rolled my eyes and he sighed.
"I don't know what's happening with everyone. Why is my business turning to shit?" His shoulders dropped, his eyes full with hurt.
"It'll be okay, Aro. Trust me, things can only go up from here!" I patted his back with my hand and the hurt in his eyes faded a little bit.
"Thank you" He smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. I nodded as he turned and walked away.
I managed to get my lunch break early and spent it drinking coffee and sugary foods to try and wake me up a bit. Sad to say, it didn't work.
The phone never stopped ringing and I was starting to get a headache. People booking, cancelling, asking about the hotel and then there were the prank calls.
I tapped my fingers against the wooden desk staring at the clock. 15 minutes until I could go home and relax.
I put my head down on the desk and closed my eyes. Thinking of going back to bed and having a long was until I was very rudely interrupted by someone clearing their throat.
I groaned and lifted my head up to see a tall man, with blonde hair that passed his ears. His eyes were covered by a pair of dark sunglasses. As I was studying his face he began to smirk. I narrowed my eyes, thinking that we had met somewhere. My thoughts were confirmed as he removed his glasses, I shook my head. His brow furrowed in confusion.
No... It couldn't be...
It couldn't be.. But it was..
"Something wrong ma'am?"
Jasper.
