A/N: Here's the next chap. :)
Rosalie's POV
Alice and I hesitated looking at Bella. She was really stubborn with things like this and we knew when she said she was doing something she'd do it. So what are we going to do? We couldn't say no but we couldn't really let her crash our date...
"Sure come if you want but if they end up as nice guys you owe us an apology!" Alice spoke up before I could. I nodded in agreement.
"Okay then. When are we meeting up with these two guys?" Bella asked.
"At a club not far from here in about two hours, we haven't stopped talking to them since we made plans but I guess we're gonna have to leave them." I said looking at the computer.
"Why are you saying goodbye?"
"Because Bella, two hours isn't long enough for us to get ready and it's all we've got and well you don't look ready to go to a club. So we need to get you home and into something sexy."
"This isn't my date. Besides you have to tell them I'm coming too."
"I just did," Alice sighed. "I also said goodbye to them for you Rosalie. They said they had to get ready too and they understand about our over protective friend."
"Okay so let's go." Bella smiled and grabbed her things as we left the library.
We walked in silence back to the apartment, Bella leading us as we followed in her shadow. She was mad at us and we were sorry to be honest I don't know what came over us for keeping this a secret. Bella has always told us everything and we knew keeping this from her would ruin our friendship...but maybe she'll forgive us when she sees that we weren't lying and these guys are nice. Alice nudged me. I had stopped walking while thinking about all of this I shook my head to clear it and walked on.
There was always a way to do things. Bella's way and Rosalie and Alice's way. Bella's way was tough and we had to live with it. Rosalie and Alice's way was fun and more positive. But they both had flaws. I guess tonight we were doing it Bella's way.
Bella walked into the apartment taking her coat and things off and so did Alice and I. None of us said anything we just went to get ready. I just hoped that Bella wasn't going to upstage us because she was known to do that to us a lot. She felt bad that she wasn't as pretty as Alice and I but she never saw herself clearly. So whenever there was a chance to go out she would over do things and because she doesn't see herself clearly she is always looking better than us.
As we got ready clearly avoiding each other where possible it was really sad. Even Alice and I didn't talk but we thought not to because it was excluding Bella again. It took us an hour to get ready and when we were we waited around in silence. Not daring to pick up our laptops and talk to the boys of our dreams.
"I still don't know why you wouldn't use a dating site like normal people." Bella said after a while.
"Maybe because we aren't really looking for relationships." I replied. "Bella we are happy being single but these guys are really nice. We just want to have a drink it's no big deal!"
"If it's no big deal why are you wearing a padded bra?"
"Bella really? I wear one every time I go out with you guys. Even you know that. I'm trying to treat this like it isn't a big deal!"
"Well it kind of is!"
"Guys!" Alice yelled. "Stop fighting! Tonight is just some drinks with a couple of guys it's not a big deal Bella. And Rosalie if I were you I would change the bra...because it is a little showy..."
"Fine," I said and walked back into our room to change.
When I came back Alice and Bella were talking about something. I didn't know what but I just sat down across from them and they stopped talking when they saw me. Alice smiled sympathetically but still stayed by Bella's side.
Alice kept the peace between Bella and I. Every so often we had little fights but Alice was always there to come between us. She kept the balance and I don't know what we'd do without her.
"We should get going," I said looking down at my watch.
We stood up and walked outside putting our coats on as we went. It was a cold, winter night and in Forks it's deadly. It wasn't long before we were standing by the bar looking for the guys.
"Rose!" I heard a man shout from across the club. He was tall, strongly built and had curly black hair and dimples...that was Emmett. I smiled and walked towards him completely oblivious to Alice and Bella. They followed behind.
"Hey Emmett!" I said cheerfully. Emmett and Jasper had gotten us a table to sit at in a quiet corner.
"You're more beautiful in person," He whispered to me. I laughed.
"Thanks, so this is Alice and Bella."
"Nice to meet you." Emmett held out his hand to them. "And this is Jasper."
Jasper was tall and lean he had blonde hair down to his shoulders and smiled as he squeezed Alice to his side. "Nice to meet you," Jasper said in a strong southern accent.
"I love your accent!" Alice burst when she realized what she had said she blushed. We laughed.
"So Bella, you worried we're some sort of creeps?" Emmett asked teasing.
"Don't tease her Em! She's our best friend and she's only looking out for us."
"Yeah I guess so. You're just so lucky our roommate didn't come. He would have freaked if he knew!"
"We know the feeling..." Alice muttered.
"Okay I think my job is done." Bella said standing up again.
"What?" Alice asked standing up.
"Well it's plain to see these guys are nice so I don't want to be a third wheel...or fifth. Anyway it was nice meeting you guys."
"Bella can we talk to you over there for a minute?" I asked getting up and helping Alice drag Bella off to the dance floor.
"Why don't you stay?" Alice asked when we were out of earshot.
"Because you guys look great together and I don't want to get in the way of that." Bella explained.
"You're not getting in the way of anything! Please stay! I mean what if this is just a first impression?"
"Oh come on I doubt it. They seem really nice..."
"Are you sure you don't wanna stay?"
"Positive. And if you want to 'get to know them better' don't do it at our place."
"Okay. Well, we promise not to be here late. We have to work in the morning." I promised.
"See you guys when you get home." Bella smiled.
"See you!" Alice hugged Bella goodbye and so did I and we watched as Bella disappeared into the crowd of dancers.
Bella's POV
All the way home I kept thinking about how stupid I was to ever doubt my best friends – practically sisters – I mean they are smart can make their own choices. I just worry too much about them. If they got hurt I would be hurt too. But I should have trusted them, they had each other.
I got into our small apartment and sat down on the sofa. There was nothing to do tonight. I really needed a better social life; I was living through my best friends for fuck sake! Well as long as some of us were having a good time...I kicked back and decided to have some wine and check my emails.
Half of them were spam (the usual) and then there was one from 'Chatroom A' it was just a welcome email but I still decided to read it, it had all the usual crap about what you can do on the site and how it's a great place to meet new people and how it's '100% safe' I scoffed at the last part. There had to be some creeps out there. Not everything is 100% safe.
At around one a.m Alice and Rosalie came through the door. I was curled up on the sofa watching 'Romeo and Juliet'.
"Oh my God you're upset!" Rosalie said coming to sit beside me stroking my arm. Romeo and Juliet was my 'sad' movie. I always watched it when I was sad.
"Come sit up and tell Rosalie and Alice why you're sad." Alice said lifting my head up and sitting down placing my head into her lap. Rosalie did the same with my feet.
"Because I have no social life. You two are always going out on dates and I am always here. I feel like I'm trapped. And the highlight of my nights is when one of you comes back probably stoned and tell me about the guy you slept with. I'm such a loser." I moaned.
"You are not a loser! Bella there are many reasons for this." Rosalie started.
"Like?"
"Like you don't dress the way you should. You think you're not beautiful when you clearly are – and that's not just me saying. I see the way guys look at you when you're all dressed up and you look good. But then you have to go and dress down for work and things and it draws attention away from you."
"What's the point in having to dress up when we work in a crappy library?"
"Because we always go out to lunch and it's a shame that we have to walk into a café or something with you looking like a...librarian. Please dress up for once and we can show you it's not so bad!" Alice pleaded.
"And if it doesn't work try 'Chatroom A' there's bound to be some nice guy out there for you there. Think about it. Me and Alice found some nice guys there you can too." Rosalie smiled.
"I doubt there is a nice guy online that wants to meet me." I sat up and put my legs down on the ground. "I'm the unluckiest bitch in the world. It won't work out for me."
"Yes it will!"
"Alice I love your positive attitude but really I'm kind of sick of it right now. I'm going to bed." I got up and lifted the bottle of wine on the coffee table and walked in the direction of our room.
"Leave the bottle!" Alice commanded. I sighed and set it in the kitchen before going into the room and collapsing on my bed.
Maybe they were right maybe I could meet someone. Or maybe I could fall flat on my face and meet a creep. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't try. I sat up again on the bed and got into the bed right. Then I spotted my laptop on my bedside table. I sighed here goes nothing I thought to myself before logging onto 'Chatroom A'.
I can't believe my friends talked me into this.
