Chapter 1: Apartments
BPOV
Most girls have their dreams planned out and work hard to reach it. I'm one of those girls who had gotten lucky and one day just got noticed and now is living my dream. Just a month ago I was like any other girl working in a small town diner. My home was Forks, Washington and I worked in our local diner. I had a dream of becoming a famous artist. Although my original goal was to become a famous artist and everything but in reality I just wanted to get a fresh start.
I'll admit everybody has had their own problems but I was one of those people who had it pretty screwed my whole life. Every guy that has came in my life broke me apart and then left me. My father left my mother and me when I was only 7. When I say left I mean he died. My father had been a respected and a good officer in the town. It was in the middle of a bitter cold winter when my mother and I received the news that my father was shot and killed. It took its toll on my mother but I needed to be strong for the both of us now so I grew to not shed my tears about my father. The years got better and we ended up moving to Arizona plus my mom found a new man Phil who took care of us. He and I never really had father and daughter relationship but he took care of my mother so it was okay. Life from before the move just seemed to fade; it was more like I blocked the memories.
Once I hit high school, I learned how cruel guys could be. I had a total of 4 boyfriends in my 23 years of my life. My boyfriends Eric and Mike were just in it for lust and I didn't bother spending too much time with them. James cheated on me and thankfully I didn't fall in love with him. I figured these were just high school boys and college boys would be something amazing and I would end up finding my true love. I learned there are men that can change a woman so much they despise men. My ex-boyfriend was to thank for the hatred that was towards most man that crossed my path. He is the whole reason I wanted to start a new life. Well I can thank him for filling me with hate and rage to draw an amazing picture that a woman who stopped at my diner while I was working and noticed the art work and bought it and asked me to work at her art studio.
Now here I am in the middle of January in the city of lights. I am now standing and admiring my new amazing home thanks to Mrs. Cullen. I think this has to be the best thing in my life. Just like a little school girl I giggle in the middle of people passing on the streets. Then as I take my first step into my amazing new life a tall shadow knocks me into the street on my face. Perfect! As I grunt and pull my face from the ground I see this hot man with the most beautiful green eyes looking into my brown plain eyes. I stare at this man and await an angel like voice to come out and ask if I was okay but I was so wrong. "Why the hell would you just be spacing out in the middle of a busy side-walk!"
Well this angel just into the incredible hulk in my eyes and it would be hell that I let another man bring my new life down! "Maybe your pretty boy ass should watch where you're going! What if you had run over an old lady instead of me prick?"
He just glared at me and opened his mouth that I wouldn't mind pressing my lips against them. Ugh Snap out of it Bella! What the hell was wrong with me? This man was making my hatred to men just disappear. "I swear all you new damn new Yorkers are the same. Well miss air-head get use to using that brain and actually take knowledge of everybody else around you!"
I pulled myself up and stood in his face. Sure I was only about 5'4 and then man was about 6'1 with bronze hair in every direction that was begging to get pulled into my face. Damn it Bella stop day dreaming and yell at this man. "Look asshole I don't need you and your wealthy ass thinking your better than anyone. Just move your pretty boy ass somewhere else." Ha! That should show him who is going to win this match.
"Well look here big mouth bitch I live here!" You have got to be kidding me. He just didn't call me a bitch. This jerk that is ruining my first moments in my new life lives in the same building ass me.
"Well prick I live here too!" I didn't waste anymore time on him and walked straight into the building and headed to the elevator. Just when I thought I could be gone of this man he hoped in the elevator with me. "I'm not going to take a whole other elevator because of you." I clicked the 9th floor button and waited for him to press his but nothing.
Then he let out a sigh. "I can't believe I will be on the same floor as you." God must have hated me for putting this sexy asshole on my same floor. As we hit the 9th floor we both start to walk down the hallway. I noticed that there were 4 rooms on each side. Please god don't put him near me. I took the chance and rushed ahead of him and ended up at my room 304. I didn't hear any footsteps and guessed his room wasn't near me and that almost made me jump in the air and clap my hands.
Just to make sure I turned and looked back to see him with him mouth open and dark green eyes glaring at me. "Are you trying to ruin my life?" I just questioned what he meant then he walked and his room was right next door to mine and it bold letters it wrote room 303. I took no time but to slam my head into the door. "Alright you fucked my day up as it is and I need to get ready to bring some girls home so see you hopefully never." He just entered his room and slammed the door. What a whore him saying more than one woman. That for some weird reason bothered I but I think I would have to buy some ear plugs so I wouldn't have to be hearing moaning.
I opened my door and any thought of that fucker was gone. I just let my mouth drop and looked at my new studio. A wide and spacing living room waiting for me I entered and say a black leather couch and a plasma TV. I ran to the kitchen and saw stain less steel stove and refrigerator. I think I died and went to heaven. If this is just how the kitchen and living room looked I think I wanted to kiss and get on my knees and worship Mrs. Cullen. She is my new best friend besides Emmett and Alice. That is just when it hit me I needed to call Alice. I ran with my purse and into my new room but of course I dropped my whole bag. There stood a golden and white bed with metal roses at the head boards. I take back about kissing Mrs. Cullen if she wanted I'd totally go lesbo for her. I then saw the huge walk in closet with clothes. I took a second and saw a note.
Ms. Swan I understand you prefer to wear jeans and t-shirts so there are some in this closet. You are more than welcome to wear them any time you please but I have filled the closet with heels and dresses for special events. I hope you are enjoying your apartment and don't worry this is all your thanks to the money from buying your picture. Please make yourself at home and I will see you on tomorrow for your first day of work
Mrs. Cullen
Oh my god, I did die and go to heaven. I needed to call Alice before I fainted from happiness. I reached into my bag and dialed her. The little pixie answered with way too much happiness. "Bella!" "Hey Alice, I have so much to tell you." She didn't respond and that was a shock. "Alice?" Then my front door began to receive a pounding and I walked to it and there stood that damn black spike and high voice pixie. "Bella!" She tackled me and made me fall to the ground. "What are you doing her Alice?" She just grinned at me and smiled. "Well since you have a huge studio with three master bedrooms. I am your new roommate." I just dropped my mouth and screamed with happiness.
"Hey if there is some girl on girl action going to happen don't let me stop you." This voice was very loud and husky no way it could be, and then stood Emmett. I pushed Alice off of me right away and jumped into Emmett's huge chest and he just squeezed me in the biggest bear huge ever. "Oh my god Emmett, I missed you so much my big teddy bear!" As I squeezed him I looked over his shoulder to see gym bags and I knew there would never be a chance where Alice would carry her belongings in something that wasn't branded.
"You're moving in too?" He just grew a big grin and smiled. "Well Bella, your ass is living the fancy life now, so you have to support your two beggar best friends." Alice threw him a big glare for her tiny face. "You mean one. I actually managed to get a job here." I was a little shock but with Alice she never seemed to be the one to let you down. "Alice that is amazing so where is it at?" She giggled with my excitement and just said it was her own studio. As we jumped and giggled so loud a pounding noise came from the wall facing the pretty boy asshole. Alice saw the anger in my face.
"What is that all about Bella?" I just sighed, "It's my pretty boy asshole neighbor that caused my morning to be hell. He is such a rude ass slut." Emmett just started laughing with a booming voice.
I knew this was going to be amazing having my two best friends living with me in New York. "So since we are all new to the city of lights, we should go find an amazing club to celebrate!" They both cheered with my thoughts and it was settled. It was time to finding happiness and new experiments in my new life.
