A/N: I dont own anything related to Twilight the Esteemed Stephanie Meyer does. I just twist the characters to my own liking.

Chapter 2 T-R-O-U-B-L-E

"Hey Bella."

"Hey Alice, Sorry I'm late. Got tied up with a phone call."

"No Worries. This is my brother Emmett, he's a cop, This is his beautiful wife Rosalie, She built my building. You have already met My Jasper, He owns and bartends the towns hottest bar "Smooth". This other butt wipe is my other brother Edward. He is a family doc here in town."

I threw up my hand and waved at everyone "Nice to meet all of you"

"Guys this is Bella Swan."

"The Bella Swan of SWAN?"

"Yes Douche. Don't mind him Bella, I think our mom dropped him one too many times."

"It's cool. It will be nice to know a cop in this town. In case things get crazy."

Dinner was an easy flow of conversation between us all. By the time I left I felt like I had known them all forever. What I hadn't counted on was enjoying myself so much. So this is what it felt like. Friends will finally be nice.

Alice told me my room would be ready by Sunday, It was Thursday. I couldn't wait. I couldn't play my guitar in my hotel room. Found that out the hard way. Damn hotel guest. Throwing my name around didnt impress the manager either. I walked into the room and fell across the bed kicking my boots off in the process. I flipped on the tv and fell asleep again praying that the nightmares would stay away another night.

"Marlyn what did you think of that band? Weren't they awesome?"

"Oh my God, Bells the drummer was fucking HOTT. I would give my right arm to hang with them."

"You can hang with us ladies instead."

"Sorry but we dont know you pricks so just go away ok?"

No, but you will know us real well by the time we are done."

"Fuck Ben, these girls are so fine. Here ladies try one of Ben's original Cocktail the lady killer."

"Marlyn I think we should leave."

"You two bitches arent going anywhere." Slap

I jumped up screaming in the bed. I got up and stumbled to the bathroom to wash my face, shaking the whole way. I guess I couldnt get lucky enough to keep the dreams away too long. I went to the liquor cabinet and grabbed the bottle of Vodka that was in the front and drank straight from the bottle. I drank til I passed out cold in a dreamless slumber.

-Sunday-

"Hey Alice, whats up?"

"Well numbnuts its Sunday and you do remember whats happening on Sunday dont you or have you no brain cells at all?"

"Well If you only knew. But yeah I remember."

"Well fruitcake get your ass checked out and over here now."

"Alright, see ya funky ass in a minute."

"Meet me out front of the store ok?"

"Yeah, whatever."

The massive hangover I was suffering from drinking none stop for the last 3 days didnt help my brain and body any. I gathered my things and made sure I didnt break anything. I settled my bill with the manager and shit $3000.00 on liquor was outrageous but I had no contacts here. And I was trying to stay clean. Just as I got in my car my cell rang again. Thinking it was Alice...

"Im on my fucking way nag. Give me time."

"Bella?"

"Shit Lance sorry, whats up?"

"Have you seen the new issue of Gossip weekly?"

"No why"

"Go purchase it immediately. Like NOW!"

"Shit ok Lance. Ill call you back. Tell James I said hi. How is the loverboy anyways?"

"He's good. Says hi and sends his love."

"Bye"

I stopped at the bookstore close to Mad Rabbit and picked it up not paying much attention to it yet and a caramel frappe. I needed to knock this hangover quick. When I got out of my car at Mad Rabbit I grabbed my cell, the magazine and my coffee and of course my sunglasses stayed on my face. No need to alert the media to my alcohol induced stupor. We went into a descret side door that bypassed the shop and went sraight to the apartment on the top floor via elevator just inside the door.

"Bella this is my mom Esme."

"Nice to meet you." The woman looked nice enough but then she pulled me into a crushing hug.

"Nice to meet you sweetheart. I hope you like it."

I think I'm going to puke she was so sweet, but seemed nice enough. Alice opened the door to what was going to be my room and I was blown away. The whole décor was done in a tough punk like design with Hot pink and black and not barbie pink and black. It was divided into a large sleeping area, a sitting area and a huge ass walk in closed that was sound proofed so that I could play my guitar and not disturb anyone. Found out real quick it was just the closet that was sound proofed.

"I love it. It's perfect. Thanks." I mumbled. I really did like it. I got my things settled and went to dinner with Alice and her mom. If they noticed my large consumption of alcohol they never said a thing. I managed to walk straight all the way home and into my room. Lance would be so proud, I never slurred a single word or stumbled once. I went to stretch out on my bed when my phone rang again.

"Bella where the hell are you? I miss you. Lets fix this please?"

"Fuck off Sam" I slammed my phone shut and finally noticed the magazine that Lance insist I purchase. The cheap fucks never told the truth. It wasn't really worth my time but Lance seemed to think something in it was worthy of Isabella Swan's attention. The middle spread made me choke on my breath.

"FUCKING JAKE I'LL KILL HIM!" I screamed.

Alice came running into my room"Are you alright?"

"Yeah, just need to call my manager."

"Lance"

"Well Hello to you too Bella."

"Did you see the article?"
"Yes, who took those shots and please tell me you aren't doing what it looks like you are?"

"Doesnt matter just get Jake up here ASAP I'll book him a room at the Hilton for one night."

"Why?"

"Doesn't matter just do it."

"Are you ok Bella?"

I sighed "The nightmares are back Lance."

"Oh."

"Yeah, Good night Lance and James."

-Tuesday-

Tuesday rolled around and I'm sitting at the restaurant waiting for Jake to come in nervously fidgeting with my fingers. This wasnt going to be pretty. I glanced up ad in walks Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, Edward and a tall Blonde. Fuck . And behind them is Jake. Tall dark and handsome. He makes me sick. Great they didnt see me. Hopefully they wouldn't hear what was about to happen..

"Bella."

"Jake" He kissed my cheek. Making me throw up in my mouth a little.

"Why Seattle? This is a little tame for you Bells."

"I ran out of gas but enjoying it."

"So what did you need me up here for? Need me to make you feel good, maybe a little loving?" The fucker actually winked at me. I should kill him. I just stared at him as I threw the magazine on the table. "how could you Jake?"

He leaned in closer to me and in a dark and menacing tone "I told you I would if you didn't do what I asked you. So you brought it on yourself. Should've came back to me."

"I wouldn't fuck you again if my life depended on it you miserable fuck of a person. You're fired."

The whole restaurant was staring and quiet now seeing as how our voices had reached nuclear levels. I stormed out and found the closest liquor store I could find. I purchased all the liquor I could carry plus some.

"Having a party miss?"

"No." I growled as I grabbed my purchased and made it back to my room. This was going to be a long week for sure.
