Alice pulled the car to a stop outside I huge house… its porch was pretty with a little white fence, flowers around the grass area and little lamps placed the length of the front garden.

"Is this your place?" I asked while still staring. The house must have at least have…5-6 bedrooms..?

"Yep" she said pleased. I climbed out of the car and shut the door carefully not to chip the yellow paint of the Golf.

Alice unlocked her front door and rushed inside with excitement I assumed.

"Omg Bella I cant wait to show you what im wearing!"

I couldn't stop myself for gasping when we got to her room. Its massive - with a KING sized bed with a velvet quilt, Black wooden floor and Black walls, one wall wallpapered red and black. A huge 60 inch flat screen on the wall opposite her bed. I shut my mouth and looked at Alice who was now sorting through her wardrobe. She gestured me to sit down on her sofa. She pulled out a beautiful - short dress.

"So what do ya think… Nice right?"

"Alice its beautiful" she jumped up and down on the spot in excitement. After she put the dress on I gazed at her beautiful figure. Curves in the right places, not to skinny not big either. The dress was a tight fitting dress that some would describe as long top that should be worn with leggings but Alice

didn't wear it with anything but underwear underneath it… well I hope she was wearing underwear. Brushing that thought aside, I stood up after she had finished hair and makeup which didn't take long.

"Bella, where are your heels?" he face was confused..

"I don't have red heels to go with the dress, I only have flats."

"No need to worry - I have the perfect pear, oh wait - Bella, let me find you something more… Our age, your dress is a bit.."

"I know, I couldn't find anything at it seemed okay at the time" I felt embarrassed I had dressed like I was going to a tea party.

2 seconds later - Alice appeared back in her room with a Tight, short Fitted Black dress. My eyes nearly popped out of my head.

"NO way! Alice - seriously u cant expect me to wear-"

"Oh, C'mon Bella, don't be shy" After 10 minutes of protesting to wear the… short piece of material- I gave in.

"Fine. Give me the dress and I'll put it on." I said flatly. Going to Alice's closet, I shut the door. The dress was my size. I pulled it up and zipped it up at the side. The dress held me in at the waist, just covered my bum, pushed my boobs, and didn't have straps. Great! I slipped on the red platform heels that Alice gave me. Walking out of the closet into Alice's room again. Alice gasped.

"Oh My God Bella - you look HAWWTT!" he squealed. Without time to look in the mirror, we got in Alice's car and drove to the party. My hands were shaking. Edward Cullen might be here! Crap!…

"Don't worry Bella, you look amazing and you don't at all look slutty." Really… well I felt it - that's for sure.

We parked up and got out of the car, I gripped onto my black clutch purse and walked side by side with Alice to the front door. We knocked.

"Hey Guys" a boy I recognised from school answered the door - slightly slurring with his speech.

"C'mon in and enjoy yourself" he said eyeing me especially. I wished I was at home studying but no - I have to go to a party dressed as a slut.

We walked in and Alice immediately left me so she could dance with someone. I was alone in the living room surrounded by people I didn't know. I stood up and grabbed a cup of punch. Sipping it carefully and starring around to see who was about that I might recognise.

I walked into the kitchen to try and find Alice but she was no where.

Suddenly on my way out of the kitchen I bumped into someone.

"Sorry - I didn't see you" I said quickly.

"No its my fault sorry" I looked up into the eyes of Edward Cullen.

"Bella?" I stood back and pulled my dress down a bit.

"Yep. You found me" I said.

"You look…. Well… Wow!" I stifled a nervous laugh.

"You look nice too" I said staring at his Blue Jeans, casual T-shirt and jacket. He smiled softly.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Yes. I just have a really bad headache, and im kinda uncomfortable. I cant find Alice either."

"Oh well She's sort of busy with Leon in the bedroom upstairs so that answers that"

"Okay… Nice!" I answered, now this was awkward.

"You wanna go?"

"I cant just leave Alice" I felt bad.

"She left you, you can just text her"

"Okay"

"C'mon I'll take you home, you don't look so well." His arm sneaked around my shoulders and we walked out to a silver Volvo im assuming is his since he opened the door for me. I sat in the passenger seat and put on my seat belt. Giving him directions, I text Alice.

"Here we are." Edward said.

"Thank you, I really appreciate it." I said as I undid my seat belt. looking up, our eyes caught each others and we held there for a couple of minutes. I opened the car door and looked at the house. Oh No. The lights were all off, now I remember Charlie telling me he's night fishing with Billy.

"What's Wrong?" Edward asked full of concern.

"Oh nothing… don't worry" I tried to put off.

"No Seriously Bella, tell me"

"It's just that… I don't like staying home alone at night… When I was little - a man came into the house and I was so petrified that I swore I would never stay home alone at night again. Ever since then I haven't."

"I could come in with you until you fall to sleep if you'd like." His soft velvet voice was making me sleepy and I liked the idea of him sitting next to me while I drifted off to sleep. I felt safe.

" Are you sure.. You don't have to-"

"Bella, c'mon - you look sleepy"

"Okay" he locked the car and walked me to the house, I gave him the key and he unlocked it - turning on the light for a second seeing if anyone was in here. He turned the light back off and led be upstairs, I got in my room.

"You can sit down, im just going to get my pj's on" I said and went to the bathroom. Coming back in the bedroom in my shorts and tank top.

He pulled back the cover for me to get in, tucking me in after.

He sat on the other side of my double bed holding my hand in his. I drifted off.
