Chapter One: A Night in Seattle

I was just finishing getting ready. Me and my friends were going out to this club in the city to celebrate summer. It was already July, but it was the first time we could all get together since school let out. Lauren and Jess went to school in L.A. They were always changing their majors, so I honestly didn't know what it was any more. I think secretly they were just at school to try and get noticed by either an acting agency or a rich guy….maybe both. Mike and Tyler went to school in Florida, most likely just for the parties. Angela, Ben and I went to school here in Seattle. I choose Seattle because I didn't want to leave my dad. He had basically lived alone until I moved out to Forks to live with him for my junior year of high school. The thought of him being alone again scared me a little, so I opted to stay close so visiting would be easier. Angela choose Seattle so she could stay by her family too, she had two younger brothers she absolutely adored. Ben choose Seattle, not so much to stay close to family but to be with Angela. They had been together since Prom our Junior year. I swear they were going to get married.

I gave myself one last look over before heading out. I thought I looked pretty nice. I was wearing a blue, sleeveless, v-neck shirt and black skinny jeans. I was wearing blue pumps despite my clumsiness. My long brown hair was curled gently down my back. As for make-up I went with a little mascara and some lip gloss. I knew trying to look "sexy" would be a wasted effort with the girls I was going out with.

I ran down the stairs, said goodbye to my dad and got in my faded red truck. I was heading over to Angela's. I was going to ride with her and Ben to this club. My truck probably wouldn't make it into the city and we were meeting everyone else there.

The club we were going to was new in Seattle. It was called Eclipse. Seattle was about four hours away from Forks, so we had all decided to rent a couple of hotel rooms for the night. The long ride was peaceful, I decided to rest a little while we drove, not wanting to be exhausted at the club.

I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I knew, Angela was waking me up saying, "Bella! Come on we're here!" She was definitely excited about the night. I grabbed my stuff and walked into the lobby were the others were waiting.

"BELLA!" Jess screamed when she saw me walk in. She ran over to me and gave me a huge hug. "Oh my god! I've missed you so much! I'm so excited for tonight! We have to get you a cute guy! Ahh!" She squealed excitedly before running back over to Lauren and Angela. She instantly reminded me of an overexcited cheerleader.

Lauren just waved. We were never really that close, but at least she was nice to me, most of the time. Tyler and Mike came walking over next.

"Hey Bella!" Mike greeted, while looking me up and down. Honestly it was creepy, and obvious.

"Hey." I smiled back. He closed the distance between us and pulled me into a quick hug, except he lingered there a little longer than necessary.

"Excited for tonight?" Tyler asked. His eyes were bright with excitement. I just nodded. I wasn't used to this kind of thing and I was more nervous than excited.

"Ok everyone," Angela called, "Let's go get settled into our rooms!"

The rooming situation had me just as nervous as going out. Angela and Ben were the only real couple here, and we knew they would share a room. But how the rooms would work out with Lauren, Jessica, Mike, Tyler and I wasn't as such a sure thing. We had gotten four rooms, all next to or across from each other. Angela and Ben walked into the first room, while Lauren pulled Tyler into the second room. I was walking toward the last room, when out of the corner of my eye I saw Mike coming. I cringed. Mike sort of had a crush on me, and was always trying to get me to go out with him. I always told him no, but he just didn't seem to get it. Right before he got to me Jess pulled him into the third room. I instantly relaxed, and continued my way to the last room. I would have the room to myself. I opened the door and saw the room. It was beautiful. There was a full bath and bed big enough for two. "Thank god I'm by myself," I thought to myself. I would have died if I had to share a room with Mike. There was also a large couch that looked comfy enough to sleep on. I put my stuff down and walked over to the bed. I sat down on the edge and closed my eyes.

"BELLA!" I heard Jess scream. My eyes flew open and there she was standing in my doorway with Lauren and Angela right behind her. They all came in rather quickly, and Angela closed the door. "We have to get ready!"

After an hour and a half of helping Jess and Lauren pick out an outfit and Lauren, Jess, and Angela doing their hair and make-up we were ready to go.

Lauren was wearing a hot pink mini skirt, a low cut black tank top, and black strappy stilettos. Her usually straight blonde hair was curled in big curls. She had hot pink eye shadow on and bright pink lipstick. She looked a little ridiculous, but who am I to judge what's hot. Jess had on a purple mini dress and white heels. She was wearing lilac eye shadow and red lipstick. Her curly hair was straightened a little, it looked good on her. Angela wore a simple a black party dress that came right above her knees and a pair of black flats. Her hair was curled softly, and her makeup was natural. She looked beautiful.

We got to the club and there was a line. It was a short line, but a line none the less. While we waited a limo pulled up out front. Then someone, surrounded by a crowd of people, made the way inside. Lauren and Jess turned to each and squealed excitedly. I turned to Angela and whispered, "I wonder who it is?"
