Set between Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.
I walked into Jessica's large house where music played and people were walking around, drinking, dancing and talking. The party was bigger than she originally told us. Rosalie and Alice were by my side; Edward, Emmett and Jasper were a few steps behind us. "Whoa." Alice scoffed, "Go big or go home."
Jasper snickered and put his arms around her waist momentarily, kissing her hair.
"Em, you got the blood?"
"Do you really need to ask?" Emmett smirked at him.
"Bella!" Jessica said loudly and enthusiastically, "Hey guys! I'm so glad you could all make it. Come on." I stumbled slightly as she unexpectedly grabbed my wrist and pulled me inside.
We were all handed drinks that I knew were vodka. They were those red cups you only really saw in movies, perfect to hide the red that the blood would make the vodka. Emmett cleared his throat to get his siblings attention and subtly slipped in a few drops of blood, making it possible for them to drink the alcohol.
"Bella, you're not having too much tonight." Edward said quietly.
"I didn't realise you owned her…" Rosalie said snidely.
"Can you not be a bitch for one night, please?" He hissed.
She rolled her eyes and was pulled to the dance floor swiftly by a few popular girls from school. I don't think she had ever talked to them before, but a party was a party.
"Does Charlie know you're here tonight?" Jasper asked quietly.
"I live with you now…" I smiled at him.
"I know; I'm not drunk yet. But he's a cop. What if the party gets busted?"
"Then that will be one unhappy Charlie." I shook my head. "Do Carlisle and Esme know we're here?"
"Ah…if they ask you, we were in Seattle watching a movie." Alice said.
"What if they ask which movie?"
"Mother Murder."
"That sounds cool, can we see that?" I asked.
"Not tonight." Alice laughed.
After a long while, I was very drunk. It wasn't often I did this; I hardly ever did this…actually. This was the second time I have ever had alcohol in my life, to be honest. I wouldn't tell Edward that, though. I had more than he liked. He tried to stop me a few times throughout the night but Rosalie or Alice would swoop in and ask me if I liked being his property. Edward had more than he would have liked himself to have, too.
I was sitting in his lap on one of Jessica's many couches, in a slightly heated make out session.
I heard Emmett whistle at us, "Careful Edward, you're getting handsy."
"Shut up." I said to him passive aggressively between kisses. There was a lot of tongue tonight, something that Edward almost never let me or himself use, "It's too dangerous", "I don't want to hurt you" etc.
I heard both Jasper and Emmett laugh and they were joined by Rosalie and Alice after a few seconds. "Yeah, ride that pony." Rosalie said. She was definitely drunk.
As the night went on, the drinks kept coming and we all had too much to drive. We had to resort to calling Carlisle and Esme. This was not something I was looking forward to.
I woke up with the biggest pounding headache I had ever experienced. There was a terrible taste in my mouth and as soon as I sat up, I was sick. I jumped up and ran into the bathroom, throwing up. I felt cold hands pull my hair back and tie it up into a messy bun. When I flushed the toilet and sat on the ground with my back against the wall, I saw Edward smiling at me. "Serves you right."
"How mad are Carlisle and Esme?" I asked.
"Furious. They won't speak to any of us about it until you are present for the conversation, though."
"Shit." I sighed.
"I don't think it's in your best interest to swear in Esme's home right now. After last night, she might kick us all out. She threatened me with calling Charlie, threatened me!"
"Please tell me she didn't."
"I convinced her not to after several apologies."
"Thank you." I said quietly, closing my eyes and resting my head on the wall.
He shook his head, "Come on, let's go downstairs and get you some water and aspirin."
I nodded, "Okay." He held his hand out to me and I took it, standing up with his help. He walked a step ahead of me down the staircase and through the living room.
"Hey Bella—"
"No." I shook my head, cutting Emmett off.
"I was just going to ask if you ended up getting laid…"
I turned around and stared at him. I motioned to myself, "This is your fault."
"It is not. I told you to stop."
"Bullshit." I scoffed.
"Bella." Carlisle said sternly.
"I am so sorry." I said to him and Esme, looking at their disapproving and disappointed faces.
"Whoa, you look terrible." Rosalie said as she walked in.
"I feel terrible." I nodded.
"Here." Edward handed me the glass and medication. I took them, thanked him and popped the pills.
"I think I'm still drunk…" I said quietly.
Emmett and Jasper broke into laughed, "I don't doubt it." Emmett shook his head. Alice and Rosalie held their laughs back and settled for amused smirks.
"Alice, you said you wouldn't let this happen."
"Oh hun, I was worse than you at that party. I just sober up faster."
I laughed although I didn't really find that comment that funny and I sat down, "Okay, scold your hearts out." I looked at Carlisle and Esme.
Esme looked at her husband, "She's still drunk."
"To be honest, I didn't even know that was possible…" Jasper shook his head, "But you were drinking til the early hours. I'm surprised you're up this early."
"What time is it?"
"6 am." Alice said.
"Oh my god." I looked at Edward, "Why did you let me up this early."
"I thought you wanted to be up…"
"When in my life have I ever been up before 7 am? 9 am on weekends?" My phone started ringing and I winced at the loud unexpected noise. My soon-to-be siblings laughed again.
"No." I picked up Jacob's call.
He laughed, "You okay Bells?"
"It's 6 am Jacob."
"Did I wake you?"
"…No."
"I was just checking in…Charlie said there was a party last night and you weren't answering his calls so he asked me to try."
"Charlie didn't call me…" I said, "Oh…wait, he might have."
"So you were at the party?"
"Don't tell him. Whatever you do, do not tell him. I am going to get enough shit here."
"Carlisle and Esme?" He asked.
"Yeah."
He laughed, "Put me on speaker, I want to hear!" He joked.
"Very funny." I rolled my eyes.
"Okay, what do I tell Charlie?"
"That I was sleeping and that I wasn't at the party."
"Okay, sure thing Bells, but you've got to lie for me in the future."
"Deal. Thank you, I owe you one."
"Recover from that intense hangover I'm sure you have."
"Bye." I hung up and put the phone on the table.
"Whoa, the dog is actually lying for you?" Rosalie asked.
"His name is Jacob and yes, because he is a good friend."
She nodded, "He doesn't just want to get into your pants or anything."
"Edward did last night. Where did those hands get to, bro?" Emmett smirked at him.
"One more word and I will kill you." Edward said to him.
"Seriously man, that's not cool." Jasper said to him quietly, "At least wait for Carlisle and Esme to not be around."
I glanced at the two parental guardians in the house. Carlisle was pinching the bridge of his nose and Esme was staring at Edward with a suspicious and warning look in her eyes.
"I didn't fuck her." Edward held his hands up in defence, looking back at Esme.
"So tell me Bella, what is it like to lose your virginity before marriage?" Alice asked in a mocking tone.
"I didn't." I shook my head, "I'm a good girl, Alice."
Jasper and Emmett both broke into laughed, "Yeah, remember when you tried to steal Edward's virginity?"
"I did not!" I said in a stressed voice, "Stop making me sound like a bad person in front of his parents."
Edward laughed, "You tried last night, my love. Several times."
I looked at him in disbelief before dropping my head into my hands, "I hate drunk Bella." My voice was muffled.
"I think I like drunk Bella better than sober Bella." Rosalie said.
"Thank you. That was very uplifting." I said, looking at her.
She smirked back at me, "Joking."
Emmett laughed, "Hey Bella, do you think—"
"When I am a newborn, I am going to rip you into tiny pieces." I cut him off.
Alice scoffed, "Violent…"
"I hate my life." Esme breathed without thinking.
"Oh, thanks mum." Emmett said sarcastically, "I always knew you loved us."
"Tell us how you really feel." Jasper said quietly.
"Yeah, why don't you—"
"Oh my god! Stop!" Esme cut Alice off, "You know I didn't mean it like that!"
"I am 99 per cent sure you did." Rosalie nodded.
A knock on the door interrupted our conversation.
"If that is not a vampire at 6:30 in the freaking morning, I am going to hurt someone." I said as Edward stood up.
I couldn't hear him answer the door or talk. My ears were too weak for that. After a few seconds, I heard Angela apologising as she and Edward approached the room.
"Really Angela, it's not a problem." He said kindly.
"Are you hungover too?" I asked her as soon as she was in my view.
"Extremely, and I am also homeless…" She looked around the room, "Hi Doctor and Mrs Cullen…"
"Hi..." The said at the same time.
"Yeah…Angela got kicked out so she's going to crash in the spare room. I hope you don't mind."
"Not at all." Esme shook her head.
Edward motioned for Angela to follow him and they went upstairs.
"Poor thing." Alice said.
"I feel like I am going to be homeless soon too…" I said quietly. I didn't mean to say it aloud.
Carlisle looked at me pointedly, "Bella, we're not going to kick you out."
"Do you really think that low of us?" Esme asked, sounding slightly hurt.
"No." I shook my head, "But I like…messed up."
"You are a teenager who got drunk at a party." Esme shook her head, "It's not that messed up."
"And this is why you're my favourite parents." I said to them.
"How many parents do you have?" Jasper asked.
"Charlie, Renee, Carlisle, Esme, Billy, Harr—"
"5." I stopped short of finishing Harry's name. Sometimes I forgot that he was gone. They noticed and the room fell quiet until Edward walked back in.
"She literally fell asleep straight away."
I nodded as he sat down, "What's going—oh…sorry Bella."
I shook my head, "Not your fault."
"Victoria wouldn't have been around if we caught her."
"Shh." I held my finger up to my lips, "Angela's here." I knew he wouldn't give in easily if we argued about it. He would be convinced that it was his fault and we'd both feel guilty.
"Okay, time for a lecture." Carlisle said, sitting forward. They all groaned in unison.
