Chapter 4

Edward POV

"Please Edward, I want to go out!" Alice pleaded.

"I really don't feel like going out tonight." I replied.

"But it's Friday! Don't be mean Eddie." She continued to harass. I mulled it over for a little bit, than I thought, well I guess it is her first Friday night in Australia, why not.

"Fine, but I'm not holding your hair when your vomiting on the curb." I stated. Alice was such a lightweight, and she knew this, yet she still drank like an alcoholic.

Alice made a high pitched squeek of excitement placed a chaste kiss on my cheek then ran in the direction of her bedroom.

I heard the shower turn on and decided that I'd let her do her thing for a bit before I started getting ready because I'd be waiting around for an hour. I decided I needed some smokes.

"Hey Ali, I'm just going to go down to the service station down the road and get some smokes. I'll be back soon." I yelled through her bathroom door.

"Ok, just don't be too long! You're going to look nice tonight." She replied. Well that figures, no matter what I put on, she'd just tell me I look like an idiot and find something different.

After getting back from the service station I walked into my room to find an outfit laid on my bed ready for me. Well, saves having to change outfits later to please Alice I guess.

I had a quick shower and a shave, putting on the outfit Alice had left for me.

"Alice, are you nearly ready, it's almost 8:30 now." I called through her closed bedroom door.

She opened the door in a towel, great. She did have her short black hair styled nicely and her make-up done, so there was some hope we'd still get out tonight before midnight.

"I just have to find the perfect outfit and I'll be done. I'll be 10 minutes." She replied. 20 minutes she means.

After having waited downstairs watching TV for half an hour Alice finally came down stairs. She had a short sleek black dress on with red high, very high heels. She always looked nice, I had to admit. My sister was a very beautiful girl. Mind you even in those ridiculously high heels she was still about a head shorter than me.

"Ready, ready! Call a taxi." She announced as she ran into the kitchen.

"But where like a 15 minute walk from town." I replied. Her head popped out from the kitchen.

"You see these shoes?" She asked, wiggling her foot around. "These were not made for walking!" She rebutted. I simply got my mobile out and called for a taxi. I was told I would have about a 30 minute wait. I thought that was a bit ridiculous. But I guess we weren't in Forks anymore.

45 minutes later the taxi got here. We hopped in and headed for town.

When we got there it was now just after 10:00pm. There was a long line of about 30 people out the front of a place Alice had decided she wanted to go to.

We paid the taxi driver and then went and waited in the line to get in. After waiting another 10 minutes we finally got it.

Alice grabbed my hand and ran me over to the bar. How she ran in those shoes I'll never know.

"Double black and a Jacks thanks." She called over to the guy standing on the other side of the bar. She got a bottle of, what I assumed to be, vodka and handed me my whisky and cola. For those two drinks it cost her $24 dollars, I thought that was a little ridiculous.

"Damn, Australia has some mad hotties." Alice said as she scanned the club and sipped at her drink. Most of the dudes looked like douche bags and all the chicks looked like sluts who stole their little sisters singlet and wore it as a dress and then slammed their face into an orange cake. I mean, not all of them, but most of them.

"Dancing time, Eddie!" Alice said as she grabbed my hand and pulled me onto the dance floor.

"Well, let's go out the smoking area and you can dance there." I replied. She agreed.

We headed out to an open area where there was another DJ playing some dance music. I lit up a smoke and Alice sat with me bopping to the music because she wasn't going to 'look like a loser, dancing by herself'.

She went over and got us some refills at the bar just beside us. This place was really impressive, especially compared to the one club I've ever been too, there wasn't one in Forks, so we'd just drive up to Port Angeles.

After we finished our drinks we headed over to the dance floor and I mostly spent the majority of the time glaring at the guys staring at my sister.

Suddenly I was pushed forward almost knocking Alice over.

"Sorry Ali!" I apologised.

"Hey, sorry mate, you right? Some drunk dickhead tryin'a start shit." The guy that bumped me apologised.

"Yeah man, that's alright." I replied.

I decided to go for another smoke and get another drink. Even though I was broke I thought I'd buy Alice a drink, she had been paying for pretty much everything since we got here. Alice told me she was going to keep dancing, so I told her to move to where I could see her and left to get drinks.

After buying the drinks I headed over to Alice to give her, hers.

"Thanks Eddie, I'll stay where you can see me." She said. Just then the security guard warned me to get off the dance floor with the cigarette. So, I did.

I walked over, not too far away from Alice, I didn't want her alone, but I knew there was no way she'd give up dancing to stand with me while I had a smoke, I could see how much fun she was having.

"Hey." Said a voice from beside me. It was the guy that had knocked me on the dancefloor. "Sorry again. Didn't mean to knock ya, hope I didn't hurt ya missus." He said.

I chucked under my breath, "My sister," I said, "Is fine." I said with a smile.

"Ah, sorry, ya sister. That's good mate." He said holding his hand out. "Emmett." He introduced.

"Edward." I replied, shaking his hand.

"Nice to meet ya Edward. I was wondering if I might be able to bum a smoke off ya." He asked.

"Sure." I said, giving him a cigarette.

"So, you're accent. American?" He asked. Blowing out a puff of smoke.

"Yeah, just moved here yesterday actually." I replied.

"Shit, yeah? Cool. Liking it?" He asked.

"Yeah. I come from a small town, so it's really different." I clarified.

"Really? What you move here for?" He asked.

"Well, my sister, Alice, just got a job here as an assistant editor." I told him.

"Yeah? I just started my new job today; I'm an editor's assistant." He said with a laugh.

Just then I saw Alice with someone walking over to us. Unlike the other chicks in this place, she was fucking beautiful. I think it was the chick that Emmett was dancing with.

"Hey Eddie!" Alice called as she got over to us.

"Hey Ali, having fun?" I asked.

"Yes! I met Bella." She said. Bella, defiantly suits her.

"Hey, I'm Bella. This kids boss actually." She said gesturing to Emmett.

"Nice to meet you Bella, I'm Edward. This one's brother." I introduced myself and gestured to Alice. Bella smiled, I couldn't help myself then smile back. Damn, she was beautiful.

"Drinks!" Alice called as he started off in the direction of the bar, grabbing Bella's hand. "Come on Bella." And just like that she stole her away.

"You're sister's a little eccentric, mate." Emmett said with a chuckle.

The girls came back with two drinks each. Alice handed me a Jacks and Bella handed Emmett a beer, leaving them with the double black's Alice had been drinking all night.

Alice gave me a look. So I butted out my cigarette. "Yes, Alice, we can go dance." I said. I knew my little sister well.

She smiled and headed over to the dance floor, followed by the rest of us.

I'm really glad Alice convinced me to come out tonight.

I hope you're enjoying it so far!

Please, any advice or idea's are welcome!
