I looked at the clock, it was nearly 6pm, Rosalie should be here soon!

"Bella" I heard my mom shout from the bottom of the stairs, I skipped to the landing.

"Yeah mom?" I replied, spotting her standing at the bottom of the stairs with a familiar blonde girl standing next to her. "ROSE!" I ran down to my best friend greeting her with a tight hug and a wide smile.

"Hey Bells!, I'm finally here" she returned the hug then gently pushed me away holding me at arms length. "and… look what I've brought with me…" she knocked her head towards the front door, I peeped my head round seeing her bright pink luggage.

I excitedly grabbed her hands and started dancing around the hallway. "I'm guessing you two are excited for Hawaii?" my step-dad Phil walked through the front door, dodging mine and Rose's dance.

I stopped dancing and grabbed some of Rose's luggage and brought it into the living room. "YES! I've been waiting for this for ages" I placed down Rose's luggage heading into the kitchen grabbing two bottles of water out of the fridge throwing one to Rose and opening one for myself, taking a sip.

"Me too! Thanks again Mr and Mrs Dwyer, I truly cannot thank you enough. I promise I wont be a burden either" Rose said, giving my mom Renee & my step-dad Phil a huge.

Rose was like my sister, we had been friends from since I can remember. Her mom & my mom were in labour at the same time so they tried to get me and Rose to be friends from the day we were born, though we didn't need much encouragement. Rose was born 5 hours before me just after 10pm, but I was born Just before 3 in the morning, which made her birthday a day before mine. Although, we always seen our birthdays on the same day, we were like twins, so it wasn't hard to imagine. We looked nothing alike, Rose had long blonde hair with stunning blue eyes and a figure any girl would die for, I had long wavy brown hair with muddy chocolate brown eyes, though I got my eyes from my dad, other than that I looked a lot like my mother, just about everyone could see that.

Rose and I were going on vacation with my mom and step-dad to Hawaii to visit my sister Alice who was opening up a bar there, we were going to spend the whole summer in Hawaii. My mom and step-dad were going to be helping Alice out while me and Rose would be spending most of our summer at the beach or by the pool before going to University. Alice was my elder sister who got her looks from my dad Charlie who lives in Forks, a very small town near Vancouver, we didn't see him much because we lived in Jacksonville, FL. My sister had taken almost every feature from my dad, mostly seen in her jet black hair, but had taken my mums eye colour. Alice has an extremely different personality compared to everyone else in the family, she is an very outgoing partier, as you may have realised by the fact that she's opening a club in Hawaii, she loves fashion and is never too busy to take a very long shopping trip. The saying "shop till you drop" was never used by Alice, she could shop past that, she probably spends more time shopping than sleeping.

"Rose, how many times have I told you to call me Renee, your like part of the family you know Rosalie" My mom hugged Rose back smiling at me from over her shoulder. "Why don't you girls go ahead and finish packing Bella's things while I make dinner, we only have a few hours left to go you know" My mom pushed us lightly out of the kitchen to the stairs.

"Only 10 hours in fact till we have to leave for the airport" I said, feeling more happier than ever, 10 more hours until I would spending 3 whole months in Hawaii with my best friend.

"Wooooo!" I heard Phil shout from the couch. I laughed, Phil was an amazing step-dad, he could never replace my dad, but he always tried his best to make me feel like his own. "Babe, do you need help in the kitchen?" I seen him get up from the corner of my eye and walk into the kitchen as I was walking up the stairs to my room.

As we reached my room I heard Rosalie gasp, "What?" I asked her. She just stared at me with her mouth wide open.

"You haven't packed anything at all?" she walked over to my suitcases not yet filled with the hundreds of pieces of clothing surrounding my case. "How hard is it to put them in the case Bella?" she laughed, I didn't like packing for vacation, I just liked being there.

"I was saving it for you, I know how much you like packing…" I gave her half a smile, hoping she would accept my joke. She turned around at me with a blank face then smiled.

"I know you don't mean that, but thanks anyway. Now we can arrange everything!" she began to pack my clothes in one of my suitcases. I just sat down on my bed watching her, she'd only slap away my hand if I helped her.

"Edward, are you packed yet honey?" My mom shouted me from the bottom of the stairs, I was surprised she was already packed about 3 weeks ago, yet the flight is tomorrow and I would of hoped to have been packed by now.

"Not yet mom, I need to take a run down to Walgreens to pick up some aftershave for the vacation, I've ran out. Does dad have any?" I asked, rummaging around my bathroom for some aftershave. Where does it all go?

"I'm not too sure, I'll ask him" I heard her mutter something to my father Carlisle. "Nope your dad has his packed and so does Jasper, want me to pick some up for you? I've gotta run to wal-mart to get some things for dinner anyway" My mom was such a sweet lady, always offering to help everyone else.

"If you could mom, I'm gonna jump in the shower and pack the rest of my things" I shouted, grabbing the towel out of my closet.

"Okay, see you later sweetie"

I jumped into the shower, letting the warm water run across my back muscles, I've been so stressed with finals that I never had any time to relax, but now I've got 3 months with my family in Hawaii. My family own a company called seaview apartments 'cullen & sons', they are apartment houses across the seaview so we go there every summer to see how everything's going and for a family vacation of course. My brother Emmett lives in Hawaii, he keeps a very close eye on the business for my dad, but Emmett loves a good party, so when we go visit him, he throws parties on the beach all summer long. I had a really good feeling about Hawaii this year, I honestly couldn't wait, probably the thought of relaxing all summer, though I did wish I has someone special to share it with.

I stepped out of the shower, drying myself off, not bothering to do anything with my hair, it would only style itself anyway. I looked in the mirror, looking at the deep purple bags under my eyes, I really am tired I thought to myself, I threw on some sweatpants and got into bed until my mom came back. I allowed sleep to sweep over me.

"Edward honey, here's your dinner. I came up earlier to give it you but you were fast asleep, I didn't want to wake you so I've kept it warm for you" I woke up to see my mom sitting on the side of my bed with a plate full of pizza, my appetite seem to grow as I looked at the mouth-watering food. I took the plate from my mom and started to eat.

"Thanks mom, I'm really hungry now" I laughed. I was surprised how hungry I was. "Did you pick up some aftershave" I asked, hoping for a yes so I could finally finish packing.

"Yes I did. Don't worry, ive already packed it in your suitcase… Edward, no one is going to take the food off you, you know. No need to rush, but I'm glad your eating properly again, finals really messed you up huh?" my mom sounded concerned, I didn't realise how different I was being when It was finals.

"Thanks mom, I'm really looking forward to Hawaii you know" I smiled, I really couldn't wait any longer.

"Good! Your brother rang earlier, says he can't wait for you to "come and party with him", you be careful though okay?"

"Don't worry mom!" I told her, I knew how to look after myself and drunken Emmett. "Well, thanks for the pizza mom, did you cook it from scratch?" My mom was a great cook, I took after her in that way.

"Yes I did, was it nicer than dominoes" she said, biting her lip. She knew it was nicer but wanted to be sure.

"Yeah mom, it was so much better!" I kissed her cheek before placing the plate on my nightstand and getting up to wash the grease of my hands. My mom took the plate and headed downstairs before smiling at me.

Later that night, I headed downstairs to find my mom and dad cuddled up on the sofa and my brother jasper making gag noises to me, I laughed. Jasper was such a character. Jasper was my younger brother, he looked like my mom, Esme. But Jasper took his blonde hair from my dad, Carlisle. Jasper took his curls from my mother. I on the other hand, looked like my dad, but had my moms hair colour and my moms green eyes. In my family, there was my mom and dad, Emmett my elder brother, who looks like my mom mostly, but he's really buff. Me, Edward, then my brother Jasper.

"Oh hey son, want to come and watch Avatar with us?" my dad looked up and seen me on the stairs. He and my mom looked so cute cuddled together, it was great how after all these years they still stay romantic. I kinda wish I had something like that myself, I've never had a proper girlfriend just Jessica from high school, we only lasted a month because her mad ex Mike got over protective and jealous, she wasn't worth a fight.

"Sure" I said, sitting down on the sofa opposite Jasper. "I'm surprised your not watching a horrific tacky plane crash movie before the flight, I thought that was traditional?" I joked, ever since I can remember we used to watch a plane crash movie before a holiday, doesn't everyone?

My dad laughed "Not this year son, your brother isn't here, it wouldn't be a tradition then would it?" my dad pointed out, it wasn't the same without Emmett round here. There was no practical joker to put itching powder in your boxers or adding extra hot chilli powder to your food when nobody was looking.

"Are you all packed now sweetie?" my mom asked me, smiling. "Make sure you bring your cases down before you go bed so we can just leave in the morning okay?"

"Yeah mom, I'm all packed and ready to go. I've just got to iron my clothes that I'm wearing for the flight then I'm done" I smiled, watching the blue alien people running around on the television, I never understood Avatar.

"Oh I'll do that for you honey, where are your clothes?" She stood up from the sofa before taking a quick sip of her red wine.

"Hanging on the back of my door Mom" I answered her before getting up and heading to the quicken to grab a glass of ice tea.

"Yo Bro! Get me some Ice tea will ya!" I heard jasper shout, I laughed to myself after hearing my dad tell jasper off.

"Son, that is no way to ask somebody for something. You should know by the age of 17"

"Sure Jaz, what about you dad?" I asked, looking like the perfect child, I looked round to see Jasper giving me the evils, I laughed sticking my middle finger up at him before returning to the ice tea.

I heard my mom come walking down the stairs, grabbing the ironing board and started to iron my clothes. "Edward, I brought down your luggage but I left your carry-on bag by your bedside just in case you needed it in the morning okay love?" my mom looked over at me and smiled. I gave her my thanks and kissed her on the cheek. "And boys, the flight is at half seven tomorrow morning, so be ready downstairs at about 4 in the morning, the taxi is picking us up at quarter past 4" My dad and I nodded while I handed Jasper his ice tea saying goodnight before heading upstairs to bed. I closed the door behind me, placing my glass on the nightstand before stripping down to my boxers, climbing into bed.

I drank some of my ice tea before putting my arms above my head thinking of what will happen in Hawaii, I wondered if I would ever meet a girl and have a holiday romance, but that was sure to not happen, not with my brothers around. I took one last sip of my ice tea before closing my eyes and falling into a deep sleep, I had a busy 3 months ahead of me.
