"Another one?"

Leah hands me a shot and we tip them back. I had lost count of the number of shots we've done or the number of drinks we've had. We were celebrating. Today was our last day of exams for junior year. No more classes for three months. Granted we both still had work, but with no school we had less stress and more free time.

"Alright I need to slow down."

Don't get me wrong, I'm no lightweight but at the rate we were going, I'd be hungover for a week.

"Let's go somewhere else, like dancing or we can go get that tattoo we said we would get months ago."

I looked at her for a second and thought.

"Ok let's do it."

We closed our tab, grabbed our purses and followed Jake out the door. Jake was Leah's boyfriend of three years. He was also one of my best friends. He was a designated driver for the night.

Ten minutes later we pulled into the parking lot of a little shopping center. There were about five or six buildings. We walked into 'Cullen Tattoo and Piercing'. There was a petite woman with short black hair sitting at the front desk. Off to the side was a little sitting area, a bathroom, and a door that read private.

"Hi my name is Alice, can I help you?"

Leah walked up to the desk.

"Hi Alice, my cousin Bella and I would like to get tattoos."

"Great! Is this your first time at Cullen Tattoo?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Awesome, we have three artist on staff and they are all here tonight. Jasper and Edward are with a clients, but should be finished up soon, Rose is free at the moment. Their portfolios are on the table by the sofa if you would like to look through them and see which artist you'd prefer, or if you don't have a preference, you can go ahead and fill out these sheets and I will get someone for y'all."

Leah and I both decided we didn't care which artist we got and went ahead and filled out the paperwork. Alice came back shortly with with a tall, beautiful, blonde, and a big burly guy.

"This is Rose, Leah she will be your artist, and this is Emmett, he will get you settled until Jasper or Edward can get to you."

I smiled politely at her.

"Thank you Alice."

Leah, Jake and I followed Rose and Emmett through the door that read 'private'.

"As you can see we value our clients privacy. Each artist has a seperate room, as well as our piercer Angela. Each room does have two chairs. We know that sometimes people come in and would like to get the tattoos done together. Is that what y'all would like or do you prefer separate rooms?"

Leah and I looked at each other and she answered Rose.

"We would like to be in the same room. "

"Alright we will get you set up in my room, and I will tell Alice to let Edward or Jasper know."

"Thank you."

Rose leads us into her room, and then steps out for a minute. Emmett tells us to take a seat in the chairs and then pulls up the stool closet to my chair and takes a seat.

"So Bella, what kind of tattoo did you have in mind?"

At this point Rose had returned and is talking with Leah. Jake was standing next to Leah holding her hand. It was times like this I wish I had someone to hold my hand.

"I wanted to get something for my grandmother. Her last name was Swan, so I was thinking of getting a swan sitting on some clouds with the words 'Beautiful Angel' written below."

As I was explaining what I wanted Emmett was writing it down on a piece of paper. When I finished I saw Leah looking at me surprised.

"You're getting a tattoo for grandma too?"

"Yeah. What are you getting for her?"

"I'm going to get the lyric 'I hope your dancing in the sky' from the song that was played at her funeral and at the end a little black sawn."

"That was a beautiful song, grandma would of loved it."

Leach and I shared a look. We were both very close to our grandmother. When she died we held on to each other. We were each other's support system. The last couple months of school, were some of the hardest. I still think about her everyday.

Rose was smiling, she looked like she was going to cry.

"Your grandmother must have been a special lady. May I ask how long it's been?"

"She died five months ago. Leah and I were very close to her. She was an amazing woman."

I could see the tears starting to form in Leah's eyes and feel my own falling. Jake squeezed Leah's hand tight and then stepped over and squeezed mine. He has been so good to us since her death. Making sure we got school work done, that we went to work, had groceries, and that we never felt alone. After giving us a moment, Rose spoke up.

"I've finished your sketch."

She held up the small piece of paper. She did a great job. Her work was mesmerizing.

"I love it. It's everything I imagined plus so much more."

"Do you know where you'd like to put it?"

"I was thinking under my left collar bone."

Rose asked Leah to pull her arm through her shirt on the left side, and then helped move it to where she needed it. She then put the sketch on Leah's skin and left an outline.

"What do you think?"

"It looks great. Jake, Bella, what do y'all think?"

"I like it babe."

"It looks really good Lee."

"Ok, if your happy with it, we'll get started."

Jaked grabbed her hand as Rose started setting up all her stuff. She then cleaned off Leah's skin, and picked up the needle. I heard the buzzing, but my attention was pulled away from them by a voice.

"Hello you must be Bella. My name is Edward, I will be doing your tattoo."
