Most people the age of five think only of cookies, and if Barbie will marry Ken. Once ten, they start caring about appearances, what they where, and such, and thirteen they get crushes. That's the girls story anyway. Back to the point, though. When a girl finally starts dating, her life as she knew it ends. After a year, prince charming…well, she's gonna catch him making out with another girl. There goes a year of her so called perfect life.

My name is Bella Swan, and unless you're mental, that was my life. I dated Edward Cullen, easily the most hottest guy at school, and my best friends brother, for a whole year. Then, at a party, I caught him making out with Tanya, my well known enemy.

Me, my best friend Alice, and our other friends and her adoptive family, Rosalie and Jasper Hale the twins, and Emmett, are all twenty-four years old, and the happiest friends in the world.

"Bella?"

I snapped out of my daze. Alice's concerned voice came into my over-crowed brain, forcing Edward to the back.

"Yeah, Alice?" I asked curiously.

"Well, I just put up some pictures…do you like them?" Alice asked, holding something back. That was odd, she never did that. Alice always said what was on her mind, and was straight forward, but I looked at the pictures anyway.

In all, there were five on the wall, positioned so you see them right when you walk in the door. The one to the far left was of me and Alice, straight faced at the camera. The next was Jasper, Jacob, and Emmett, having a full blown thumb war match. The middle was the six, of us, all with wacky expressions, then me, Rosalie and Alice, then Jacob and Emmett having a staring contest.

"They're great, Alice. I love 'em."

Alice smiled shyly, taking a deep breath. "Thanks. Look, Bella…Its just that…well…"

"Spit it out, Alice!" I snapped. How could I not, it had only been two days since I caught him with Tanya.

Alice jumper, also unusual. "Sorry! Well, you know Rose and Emmett's wedding is tomorrow-"

"How could I not!?" I interrupted.

"Sorry!" This time she was more fierce. "Well, Emmett cant…not…invite his own brother. Rose said she'll understand if you can't make it."

I sighed, sorry I snapped at Alice. I reached into my back pocket and grabbed my cell, dialing her number, hitting call.

"Let me talk with her." I told Alice right before Rosalie picked up.

"Bells?" Her happy, excited voice sounded over the phone.

"Yeah. Hey, Rose, I'm coming."

"You sure?"

"Rose…how could I not come? You're my best friend."

"I guess…but, Alice told you who's coming, right?"

"Yeah. Had to pry it out of her, though."

Alice stuck her tongue out at me, holding out her hand for my cell.

"Hang on, the fashion pixie would like to speak with you."

I heard Rose's tinkling laugh as I passed Alice the phone.

"Rose? Hey, yeah. Well, you know how you're having the celebration party the day after your wedding? Weeeell, that means shopping. Meet you at your place, five minutes? Good, see ya soon!"

I groaned, taking back my cell. "You don't plan to include me on this, do you?"

"Bella…look, I know this is a rough time, but, maybe some shopping will cheer you up?"

The puppy dog look on her face was so innocent looking, begging me, I couldn't refuse, no matter how much my heart ached. I nodded, and she squealed, when suddenly I couldn't help but remember the night I caught him…

Flashback

We were all at the Cullen's house, celebrating the happy couples marriage. Rose and Emmett's wedding was in three days, as they planned everything with out telling anyone, much to Alice's disappointment, and wanted a wedding fast. Rose had mischievously got every girls dress size, picking out the different dress's for each. (Pictures on profile) Edward had disappeared upstairs, which I thought nothing of, so I was sitting alone on a chair, watching Alice and Jasper dancing, when I got bored. So, naturally, I went in search of my boyfriend.

"Edward?" I didn't know why I was whispering, it just seemed right. I heard moans coming from his bedroom, and peeked inside the crack in the door. I almost shrieked.

Edward was on top of Tanya, and both had their shirts off, for obvious reasons. Neither saw me, and I stupidly went downstairs, crying my eyes out silently. I leaned on a wall, slipping down, burying my head in my knees for a good fifteen minutes.

"Bella? Bells what's wrong?" I heard Emmett's brotherly voice ask, and I shook my head, hearing him call Rose over.

"What happened!?"

"I don't know, I just found her like this!"

"Bring her upstairs in Alice's room, and I'll go get her myself!"

I felt Emmett's strong arms lift me up and carry me to Alice's room, gently setting me down in a cushy chair. Not two minutes later, Rose, Jasper, and Alice barged in, with no Edward found. My head still buried in my arms and knees, and heard Alice bend down and ask softly,

"Bells? What's wrong? Did someone do this to you?"

My answer was only heard by her, so everyone was confused when she jumped up and stalked to Edwards door, which was right across from hers, and slammed it open, revealing Edward and Tanya, same as I had left them.

"EDWARD CULLEN HOW DARE YOU!!" Alice screeched angrily.

Neither Edward or Tanya could see anyone but Alice, so they weren't worried that much, though we had full view of them, thanks to Alice's smart positioning.

"Alice…" Edward got up, coming over to her, crouching as if talking with a child, but taking a firm grasp on her wrist. "This never leaves this room, does it?"

"Get off of me, you two timing jerk!"

Edward tightened his grip, and Alice winced. "Fine." She called. "Emmett, get in here."

Emmett got up, stalking into Edward's room too.

"Emmett, since you are not bound by Edward's law, I give you permission to leave this room, and tell Jasper, and Rose what's happening, and anyone else who you would like." Alice smirked, and Emmett turned, took three steps into the hall way, then changed his mind, turning back.

"You can let go of her now. I'm sure people would think differently of you if it leaked out that you had sex with another girl, then raped you sister, while still 'dating' Bella."

Edward's hand dropped in surprise, and both Emmett and Alice ran into her room, slamming and locking the door behind them.

End Flashback

I shuddered at the memory, but came out of it as Alice bounced into the room, wearing a white skirt and light blue tang top, with brown boots.

"Bella, go get dressed, or I'll pick out your outfit for you!"

A/N: So, do you like? Review, and tell me, please? I'll give you a cookie...:) thanks again!
