Chapter 4-
My dad said he would feel better about me going to a party if he knew someone was there to take care of me. I rolled my eyes in my head, were we living in the dark ages here? I asked my best guy friend, Jacob Black if he could drive me, only after thoroughly explaining it wasn't a date. Was every guy in Forks so desperate. He picked me up at eight thirty and talked with Charlie for a while as I finished getting ready. I decided that morning that this was a special occasion, so I allowed myself to buy a whole new outfit. I wasn't comfortable in short skirts or dresses so I bought a pair of tight black low riders and a black jersey and satin stripped tube top. The strap of material around my chest was tight, then flowed out loosely. At my waist another strap clung tight accentuating my hips. It revealed the perfect amount of skin, was party appropriate, and I was comfortable wearing it. I also indulged in pair of simple black leather heels. They were only two inches high so I wouldn't have that many problems dancing or anything. I kept my makeup to a minimum focusing only on my eyes. I swept a charcoal grey over my lids, lined them inside and out with a sharp black and added dubious amounts of mascara. I sprayed my hair with volumizer and curl enhancer, then blew it dry upside down scrunching wild wavy curls everywhere. When I flipped my hair back up it was huge, overtaking my slight frame flowing over my bare shoulders brushing up against the sliver of bare skin above my pants at my waist. I noted that I could use a hair cut and finished my look off with a long chunky ivory and gold necklace and a thick golden bangle wrapped around the middle of my forearm. I studied myself in the mirror. I was happily surprised at my appearance. I reminded myself of the girls in L.A.. I couldn't remember ever feeling happy with the way I looked before. I pulled my top up revealing my stomach. There was still areas where I could see slight bulges of fat, but overall I was happy with my weight loss so far. I was even happier at the visibility of my ribs and shoulder bones. I began to feel that slight buzz, the wonderful sensation that I was finally in control. I grabbed my oversized clutch and headed downstairs to say goodnight to Charlie.
We pulled up to huge showy Victorian house. As soon as we stepped out of the car we heard the loud music pouring from the house. Kids were littering the front yard in large groups. We began making our way to the house fighting through the mobs of people. Some drunk freshman grabbed my shoulder and asked me to dance with him but Jacob saved me by grabbing my hand and plowing our way onto the front porch. The door was wide open so we let ourselves in. Surprisingly the inside of the house was even more crowded . Where did all these people come from? I couldn't see any farther then the people in front of me due to my height so I just clutched on to Jacob's hand and followed his huge form through the room. He led us into the kitchen where he handed me a Solo cup of beer.
"Damn, Bella! You were right, this is the biggest party I've been at all year!" He chugged his beer happily and set down his cup.
"Yeah, me too…" I mumbled to myself. It was in fact the only party I'd been to all year. The words were easily washed out by the pulsing of the loud music. He looked down at our still interlocked fingers and smiled.
"Excuse me Bells, but I clearly remember telling you this was not a date." I laughed loudly letting my head roll back, and let go. I was glad I'd invited Jake. Being with him was easy, even in the middle of an out of control house party.
"Look at this place, Jacob." I waved my hand around indicating the amount of people crammed in the room. "One wrong move and the mosh pit will swallow me whole!"
"Scared of getting lost?" He asked raising his eyebrows slightly. "Here", He grabbed me by the waist and set me on the island we were leaning against next to the keg. "Now you can't go any where." He took a step closer, leaning against my legs to make room for the constant flow of people. I refilled his cup and handed it to him. He furrowed his brows and looked at my still full first beer. "What? You don't drink?" he asked.
"Do you know how many carbs are in a single beer?" I asked him making a face.
"Who cares?! You're a tooth pick anyway, it wouldn't do a thing to you." He claimed. I didn't like where this conversation was going.
"I only drink hard liquor," I lied. The truth was that I hardly ever drank, but I knew that it had allot less calories then beer.
Jake's eyebrows shot up his forehead. "Really? Hmmm… Hold on", he lifted his head up over the crowd easily, and looked around. Then walked away quickly disappearing into crowd. I sighed and rolled my eyes, I didn't want to drink anything but a tall glass of water, yet I knew I would look weird if I didn't have a couple of drinks. I decided that I would run twice as long tomorrow and skip lunch. Jacob reappeared two minutes later with a bottle of rum and a big smile on his face.
"Here you go" he handed me the bottle and a fresh cup. "You should thank me you know, I had to kiss some hot girl to get that for you." He laughed and I giggled.
"Oh thank you for your HUGE sacrifice!" I placed the outside of my hand on my forehead and sighed dramatically. "What would I do without you, Jake?" We both laughed then.
We sat there talking and drinking for almost an hour. I laughed more in that hour then I had in my entire life. There was a slight tingly feeling creeping up from my arms and legs. My head felt delightfully hallow and heavy at the same time. It was like it was floating, freely lolling around without my control. A song came on that I recognized and got a shot of energy.
"I love this song!" I screamed, jumping down from my spot on the counter right onto Jacob. My knees where wobbly and I grabbed onto Jacob's shirt for support. I saw a couple of people looking around at my sudden outburst. I just laughed. There faces were incredibly funny for some reason.
"Wow, Bella. Are you ok?" Jacob asked smiling his huge smile that warmed my sole. I fought back my giggles long enough to answer.
"Yeah, I'm great! Dance with me Jake!" He rolled his eyes and laughed grabbing my hand again.
"Sure, sure." He dragged me behind him to a large room with all the furniture removed. People were jammed into the crowded room dancing. He turned around and grabbed my waist. We started moving together and I could feel the beat pulsing through my body. It surged through me and I allowed myself to lose control. I threw my hands in the air and moved in closer to him. This felt amazing, for a second I could understand why people liked getting high. I was having a high of my own. My laughter returned and I ground my hips seductively onto Jacob. He sucked in a sharp breath and I knew I was getting too close. I turned out of Jacobs arms and started dancing by my self. I noticed several sets of male eyes lingering on my slithering body. I smiled and continued to dance, I never wanted to stop. Jake had started dancing with a girl that I didn't recognize so I moved slowly to the sound where the music was coming from. I wanted to dance right up against the base, have the music really course through my body. The boys eye's followed me move. I found the source of the music and leaned my back up against the base that was taller then I was. I rubbed my body up and down it grinding my hips like the girls in music videos. I lifted my hand to my face and started rubbing my cheek and down my neck, then all the way back to my hair where it stayed. I saw a guy jab his elbow into his friends back and then nudge his chin at me. I ignored there mesmerized faces and closed my eyes, I was dancing this wave of pleasure for myself. I turned my head to the side and leaned it back against the base. I reopened my eyes a couple of seconds later and saw Edward up against the wall with his brother Emmett and sister Alice. They looked like they had been talking but were all now looking straight at me. I took in Edward and all his glory greedily. He was wearing tight black designer jeans, and a snug crimson cashmere V-neck sweater tucked into his pants and topped with sleek black and silver belt. His outfit accentuated his every muscle, the red set off his perfectly pale features. I didn't stop dancing but my already flush face blushed further. I moved over to Edward and his family.
When I got there I screamed, "Hey!" loudly to them, attempting to be heard over the music. Alice smiled and waved. She gestured to my outfit and gave me a thumbs up. I smiled widely and Emmett smacked me in the back rather hard. Harder then I expected, I flew straight into Edwards chest at the sudden impact.
Alright, Supergrass -
(This song is about Bella just being a normal teenager and having a good time with Jacob at Lauren's party)
We are young, we run free.
See our friends, see the sights, feel alright.
We wake up, we go out. Smoke a blunt, put it out.
We are young, we get by.
Sleep around if we like, but we're alright.
Lose control, live wild, but we're alright.
We are young, keep our teeth nice and clean.
See our friends, see the sights we're alright.
AN: How do you guys like drunk Bella?! LOL! I based her behavior on how I act when I get drunk... everything is funny, everyone's my BF, and I dance like a whore! LOL!
So I decided to keep Jacob as the BF, minus the unhealthy jelousy. What do you guys think... Any ideas or suggestions?!
