Chapter 2

BPOV

The morning sun woke me up when it came streaming in through the window, that little bit of light brought the whole room to life, from the beautiful antique carved bed that I was laying in, the light peach blush colour of the walls that made the whole room seem like it glowed, this was by far the most beautiful place I have ever woken up in but for the first 30 seconds I was confused and disorientated, still half in my dream and wondering where the hell I was. That was, until I heard a squeak from the room next door, and then it all came flashing back to me. Charlie was in the hospital and I was in one of the guest rooms at the Cullen's and then I remembered last night.

Oh God, I had voluntarily agreed to spend the summer being Alice's personal Barbie doll. What had I done.

I dragged myself into a sitting position on the bed just as Alice came bounding through the door connecting our rooms, and jumped straight onto the bed next to me. Nobody should be allowed to be that energetic this early in a morning, Alice was acting like she had had 3 cups of coffee.

"Bells come on, let go get breakfast and them we can get ready and go to the mall, we really need to get started with your make-over, Tyler's party next week will be the perfect place to start showing off the new you"

All I could do was growl at that. at least she was allowing me to eat first I guess, normally nothing gets in the way of Alice and shopping.

30 minutes later I was all dolled up in a pair of bark blue skin tight drainpipe jeans, a bright blue silk vest top and a black blazer with the sleeve's pushed up, but Alice wasn't done there she said it needed 'finishing off' with chunky silver bangles and matching black dolly shoes and satchel. God I actually was becoming her personal doll and I felt like a hurricane had hit me. Before she had picked out my outfit she had made sure my hair was blown dry and I had blush and mascara on along with a clear sticky lip gloss that Alice claimed made my mouth pop. I had to admit, it was a vast improvement on the sweats and t-shirt I would normally have on, even if I didn't see the point in doing my hair and make-up when she was making me visit the salon once we got to the mall.

during the drive over to the mall Alice told me all about her plans for today which included getting my hair cut, nails done, and legs waxed as well as what she called 'major shopping'. I was already worried. I know I had agreed to this in theory but the actual prospect of it was daunting.

Four hours later and I was ready to collapse. My hair was still long and brown, but now it fell in gentle waves down my back to my elbows, it had subtle layers cut into it and a sweeping side fringe that shaped my face. My nails were buffed and painted a gentle shade of pale pink and my legs had never felt so smooth. We had also been back to the car 3 times to drop off bags and bags of shopping.

"Just one more shop Bella, then we can get some food" Alice chimed to me as she pulled on my arm, dragging me toward another shop.

"Honestly Alice, what else could I possibly need, we have clothes, make-up, perfume, bags, belts and shoes, you seriously can't tell me I need anything more"

"Bella you're forgetting the most important thing"

"What?"

"Underwear Bella, if you want to look and feel sexy you need great underwear, and not that stuff you normally wear, something grown up and sexy, it will make you feel more confident and if you're going to be walking round looking as good as you do, I'm sure there will be a line of boys waiting to see it" she said whilst winking at me.

"ALICE!, I'm not going to be showing my underwear to anyone, I'm not like that, you should know me better than that!"

"Oh Bells. Don't be pissed, I didn't mean it like that I just meant with your new look you may end up getting a boyfriend, and you can't tell me that if you did you wouldn't eventually get to that stage. Plus good underwear makes you feel sexy even if you are the only one seeing it."

I ended up with 2 bags filled with lace and silk that cost more than my dad's monthly pay check. Alice insisted we could have got much more and gone somewhere much more expensive and therefore she wasn't breaking the rules. Typical Alice, she always seems to have an answer for everything.

After a final trip to the car to dump the rest of our shopping and I insisted we got to go to at least one place I want, It was pretty easy to drag Alice to the little 50's diner that's hidden away in the back of the mall. It does the best ice cream milkshakes and cheesy fries and after all the shopping it was just what we both needed.

I ordered a mint choc chip ice cream milkshake and a large cheesy fries and settled down on the booth we had snatched up. Getting a booth in this place was a miracle and when I had seen the couple in the corner getting up and leaving just as we walked in I had practically dive bombed into it, a move that got me more than a few strange looks from the other diners and sent Alice into giggle overdrive.

When she finally calmed down she ordered herself a banana milkshake and chicken club sandwich. We chatted about the clothes we had bought for a few minutes until our drinks arrived.

Then Alice chimed in with "So, who is this all for Bells" a questioning look on her face.

She must have been able to tell I didn't have a clue what she was asking from the blank look I gave her because she continued with "Letting me dress you up, give you a makeover, who's it for. You must have some boy you're trying to impress?"

Now I got what she meant, she wanted to know why I was letting her do this when I had refused so many times before. I guess I can't blame her for thinking it was for a boy, all Alice ever things about is boys.

"It's not for a boy Ali"

"O-kay Bells, whatever floats your boat, but if I knew this was for a girl I would have maybe bought different clothes"

"Alice, Shut up! I didn't mean it like that; I meant it isn't for one boy in particular. God, I still like men in general, it's just…" I could feel the blush racing up my cheeks, Alice was just staring at me waiting for me to finish.

"It's not that I want a certain boy to notice me Al, it's that I want anyone to notice me, I fed up of fading into the background, of never being noticed. There isn't anyone I like at the moment, but I want to be worthy of them noticing me when they do come along. We only have a year left until college Ali and I don't want to go off to college being the same boring, bland Bella I have been for the past 16 years" It just all seems to flood out of me, I feel my eyes welling up as I tell her, as I try to explain what made me let her have her way., but it feels like it's all coming out wrong, it sounds so pitiful out in the open. My logic seemed so much more reasonable when it was in my head.

"Ohh Bells, you have never been bland or boring. You're amazing and the best friend anyone could ever wish for, all I'm doing is making sure everyone else can see haw amazing you are too, and I promise you Bells, when your special someone does come along, he won't be able to take his eyes off of you."

APOV

What Bella just said almost broke my heart, she has never seen herself clearly, never noticed the how beautiful she is both inside and out. What she didn't realize is that the only reason people don't notice her is because she hides herself, behind a book, her hair or her shyness.

She is always so quite when were around other people, I never understood it, when I first met Bella was so quiet and shy but I could see what a great person she was so I just stuck to her like glue until she realized I wasn't going anywhere, and after a while she started to let me see the real her, what she was like behind the shyness. She is passionate about things she believed in, and she had a great sense of humor and she is the most loyal friend I could ever have. She would do anything for the people she cared about, when we aren't around other people she is an entirely different person, opinionated, stubborn and full of life, but she hid that away most of the time and all I'm trying to do is bring that out.

I know she doesn't notice the way Mike and Tyler's eyes linger on her a little too long, or the looks she gets whenever we go somewhere, she is beautiful and people do notice they just don't tell her because she never talks to them and this summer I'm going to change that. This summer I'm finally going to get her to show everyone else the person I have known and been best friends with for the last 3 years.


A/N - Hope you all enjoyed it, I know it wasn't very long but i just wanted to give you a little insight into the reasons why Bella agreed to the makeover and also why Alice wanted to give her one in the first place.

Let me know what you think.

Thank you to everyone who has reviewed so far, it really does mean a lot to me :)
