Chapter 1:
Bella's P.O.V
"ARGH!" I screamed in frustration. "NOT HAPPENNING!"
"Stress Less, Bella" Alice said calmly "I'm taking you out tonight, and your coming whether you like it or not!"
"THIS PROJECT IS DUE IN A WEEK!!" I screamed "I CANT!" (I have a project on Africa's finest destinations for the travel agency where I work.)
"Yea, in a week" Alice said trying to convince me "By the way, why did you even accept that job at the travel agency anyway? You knew it would be a lot of work. You shouldn't have turned down the job acceptance to the book store!" Alice stated.
"I don't know if you have noticed or anything, but I'm tight on money at the moment, and no I will not accept yours" I snapped
"Jeez Bella, your really uptight, you should have a hot bath or something" Alice said in a concerned voice. "Or you should find a man that can do all that work for you. Ooh! Ooh! I know where I'm taking you tonight!" Alice squealed in delight.
I groaned. "Alice please, how about tomorrow or some other time"
"NO! GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF BELLA! "Alice screamed
All of a sudden there was a tapping noise underneath our feet. "Keep it down up there!" a voice called.
"Bella, please, please, pretty please!" Alice Begged
I couldn't say no to her angelic face. "Fine but I choose what I wear!" I stated
"Umm… About that, I already knew you would come, because, I mean, you always cave, so I already chose your outfit for you" Alice said with a weak, yet innocent smile.
At that I couldn't help myself but laugh.
Alice's P.O.V
YES! She caved! It was so easy! I wonder what she thinks of the outfit I picked out for her.
"IM NOT WEARING THAT!" I heard Bella Yell
Bella's P.O.V
While Alice stood still, deep in thought, I decided to see how bad the outfit was. Laid out on my bed was a dark denim mini skirt, a white tank-top, a black pair of flats and a bunch of necklaces.
"IM NOT WEARING THAT" I yelled uncontrollably
Alice walked in a little offended but that soon changed when she walked over to my closet. She started pulling out items of clothing, tsking at random things.
Her eyes went wide as she pulled out a pair of faded black denim skinny leg jeans, and a pair of shiny ankle length heels (boots)
"YES! I'm a genius!" Alice squealed.
Alice handed me a warm towel, and told me to get in the bath. I did so without complaints.
I stepped into the bath, the hot water instantly un-knotted my muscles. Alice was right I stress a lot for no reason.
I sighed and sank deeper into the water.

Bella's P.O.V
"Are you ready yet?" Alice said as she grew impatient.
"Coming, coming" I mumbled back to her. This is not going to be good, Alice is going to turn me into a Barbie doll or something and she won't settle for any less perfect.
As I staggered into the bathroom, Alice's jaw dropped, she gasped and whispered "Bella you look great!" She then looked down to what she was wearing and dashed off to find something else to wear.
Alice came out in a dark blue, strapless dress, blue velvet heels and a silver, sapphire necklace on. She looked stunning!
We grabbed our bags and left.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It was a long trip and most of it was in silence. It gave me a lot of time to think.
"Alice where are we going?" I asked
"Just a little night club I know" she replied with a huge grin growing on her face.
I rolled my eyes and smiled with her. I was actually quite relaxed (which I hadn't been in ages)
As we stepped out of the car it started to pour, a wicked grin grew across my face and Alice edged away a little frightened, which of course made my grin wider. Without thinking I pulled Alice with me to the closest puddle and jumped. Alice squealed and ran off to the club. I followed her inside.
We were sitting at the bar when Alice looked around; a small smile grew across her face. She turned to me and said she needed to use the bathroom. Alice headed towards the bathroom.
I was sitting alone-a little miffed that Alice wanted me to come so much and then just took off-when someone tapped my shoulder; I quickly turned around and saw a tall man with an angelic face. He had emerald green eyes and bronze hair. He smiled a crooked smile. He introduced himself as Edward Cullen. I couldn't help myself but just stare at his perfect face.
"And your name is?" he asked with a smile
"Oh...uh… sorry, I'm Bella Swan" I stuttered Yea real smooth Bells I thought to myself.
"Are you here with anyone tonight?" he asked
I looked around and saw Alice chatting up a man with blond hair.
I shook my head.
"Do you mind if I join you?" he asked
"Of course not, here sit down" I tapped the seat next to me
He just smiled at me.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
He was so easy to talk to, I felt like I had known him for my entire life.
"It is getting late" I said after a while of conversation.
I don't think he heard me because he was staring deeply into my eyes. I couldn't help but do the same. We held our gaze for an immeasurable moment.
"Uh… yea… um… I have work tomorrow" I stuttered and again real smooth I thought
Edward smiled and got up. We walked to the door.
"Um… I have to tell my friend that I'm leaving, I will be right back" I said quickly
"Of course" he said softly
I ran back to Alice, which at that point, was practically getting it on in the club, and told her I was leaving.
I met Edward at the door again.
"Do you have a ride?" Edward asked
I just shook my head not wanting to embarrass myself anymore than I already have.
"I will give you a ride" he offered
I smiled and said "I would like that, thank-you"
We walked to his car and he opened the passenger side door for me to get in. I smiled at him.
We were silent when we were driving back. When we reached my apartment he pulled over, opened my door and walked me up to my room.
"Would you like me to call you later?" Edward asked
I smiled and asked for his phone. Immediately he pulled his phone from his pocket. I dialed my number in and saved it. I handed my phone over and Edward took it and saved his number.
I smiled. Swiftly, Edward bent down and pecked my cheek, I blushed.
"Goodnight Bella" he said soothingly
"Night" I said in return.
I walked in my room, changed into my pyjamas and turned the radio on.
Music poured from the speakers. (you should listen to the song, it is where i got my inspiration from =] avril lavigne-nobodys home)
I couldn't tell you why she felt that way,
She felt it everyday.
And I couldn't help her,
I just watched her make the same mistakes again.
What's wrong, what's wrong now?
Too many, too many problems.
Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs.
She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go, to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.
Open your eyes and look outside, find the reasons why.
You've been rejected, and now you can't find what you left behind.
Be strong, be strong now.
Too many, too many problems.
Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs.
She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go, to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.
Her feelings she hides.
Her dreams she can't find.
She's losing her mind.
She's fallen behind.
She can't find her place.
She's losing her faith.
She's fallen from grace.
She's all over the place.
Yeah, oh
She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go, to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.
She's lost inside, lost inside...oh oh yeah
she's lost inside, lost inside...oh oh yeah
A single tear rolled down my cheek.
