I opened my eyes to see my light shining in through window drapes. I yawned and stretched, before rolling off my bed. I looked over at Alice still sleeping peacefully on her stomach, one arm pillowing her head; Dolce was curled up in ball on her back, fast asleep, both of them snoring softly. I took a glance at the clock on my bedside table which read, 10:45am. It was Saturday so nether me or Alice had classes.

I quietly tiptoed to my walk in closet/ art room. I turned my huge walk in closet, much to Alice's dismay, in a little art studio. I opened the door and stepped in, turning on the light as I did so. As I said my closet was huge, the corner on the far right held my cloths while the rest of the room had art stuff thrown around. I grabbed a pair of dark jeans and a red light sweater and walked out the room, softly closing the door behind me. I made my way to the bathroom and stopped in front of the mirror.

I looked like shit, my hair looked like a hay stack, my eyes were all red and blotchy from crying and there were dark circles under them and I was so pale you could practically see the little blue veins under my skin. Fucking gross. I turned away from the mirror in disgust and began stripping. I tried not to look at my too skinny body as I turned the water on and stepped inside the steaming shower. The burning water felt wonderful against my bare skin, I closed my eyes and sighed with pleasure. I slowly began wash myself; gently messaging my favorite vanilla scented shampoo in my hair and slowly rubbing my body down with soap.

Once I felt like I was entirely clean I tuned off the water and wrapped myself tightly in a big white fluffy towel. I stepped out of the shower and started patting myself dry before putting my clothes on. I ran a brush through my hair and blow dried it, when it was completely dry I walked out of the bathroom and back into my room. Alice was still sleeping with Dolce on my bed. I quickly tiptoed to my closet and grabbed my grey messenger bag from the floor. I stuffed my black sketch book in the bag, along with other random art materials like pencils, color pencils, pens, and anything else I might need.

By now it was 12: 35 and the sun was shining brightly through the sliding glass door of our apartment. The apartment was pretty large, the living room had white carpet, and a matching white couch with red pillows was pushed up against the wall. Mounted on the opposite wall there was a flat screen TV with a dark wood TV stand under it that held our DVD player and Direct TV box and a shitload of DVDs. between the TV and couch was a dark wooden glass topped coffee table with a clear vase full of sunflowers on top. The sliding glass doors had the same bright red drapes as the pillows and they were pulled aside to revile our balcony with a beautiful view of downtown Seattle.

There was a bar that separated the kitchen from the living room. The kitchen was small and basic. All the appliances were black: black microwave, black stove, black dishwasher and black refrigerator. The cabinets were made up of a mahogany wood and the top was made up of marble. I grabbed a post it note from one of the kitchen drawers and wrote a note for Alice, telling her where I was going, and stuck it on the frig before leaving.

*************************

It was a surprisingly sunny day in Seattle. Our apartment was located a few blocks away from the space needle, so it was an easy walk. I was sitting in the grass in front of the space fountain, a large circular fountain that shoots water out in various directions and patterns, different types of music would play and the water would squirt in rhythm to it, People would stand in front of the fountain and get soaked.

I've been sitting here for a few hours now, just sketching random people that caught my attention. I was currently sketching a young couple that was sitting on a bench looking over at the fountain, their backs to me so they didn't have a clue of what I was doing. I looked down on my drawing, fixing the shadows of on the guy's arm that was wrapped loosely around the girls shoulder, when I looked back up I saw the couple walking away, his arm still around her. I sighed; the only thing I hate about drawing people is that they move. Closing my sketch book I got up as well brushing the grass off my jeans, I tucked my book under my arm and began walking towards the pier.

I was leaning on the pier, watching the sun set over the mountains. A sailboat sailed by disturbing the still dark water. There was a slight cold breeze that made me shiver, I was incredibly thankful that I brought my coat; it was getting a lot colder. I looked at my watch, it read 8:14, I took one more glance at the sun and started walking home. Today was a surprisingly good day, it didn't rain once, I got a lot of sketches and not once did I feel anxious. I thought about a lot of things, mostly school and stuff like that. My thoughts would occasionally go to Edward, but that was normal and I wouldn't let them get to far out of hand.

I was passing by a dark alley when I heard a small whimper, disturbing my thoughts. I stopped, looking around; there were a couple of people on the streets now, which was no surprise. I was about to start walking again when I heard another whimper this one louder, I was starting to freak out thinking it was a person. I took a step towards the alley squinting my eyes in an attempt to see past the darkness.

"Hello?" I called.

Silence. Thinking that I made a mistake I starting walking away, I didn't make it far when I heard a small yelp pierce the silence, making me jump. Ok this was not a person; I looked around the small alley, seeing absolutely nothing. This is fucking stupid I though, I caught a small movement in the corner of my eye and my head shot in its direction. At first I didn't see anything, just darkness; I took a step closer staring at the empty space when I saw it, a small bundle of fur against the wall. The bundle trembled slightly and another whimper escaped it. I walked up to the thing and peered down and gasped. Looking up at me with big brown eyes was a puppy. Its black fur was completely soaked and I could see its ribs and spinal cord sticking out of its small body. I looked around; hoping to see someone looking for the puppy, but no one was there. I knew I couldn't leave the little thing out here alone, but I was equipped to take care of a dog, I didn't even like dogs. But looking at his big puppy dog eyes filled with such hope and fear I knew I was a goner.

Letting out a deep breath I bent down and scoped the wet puppy in my arms. The puppy whimpered again and snuggled its little body in my arms looking for warmth. I wrinkled my nose in disgust, the puppy smelled like crap. I'm not a dog expert but I could tell it was a German shepherded, the top part of his body and part of his face was black, while his tummy, chest and legs were brownish tan. I had to admit the dog was adorable, minus the smell. The puppy looked up at me, I felt his little tail wagging on my arm, and with much effort he lifted his little head and licked my chin before sticking his head back in my arm. Though how disgusting it was, it was also cute.

"Yeah you're welcome," I grumbled, starting to walk towards my apartment, thinking about how pissed off Alice was going to be.

And there, I'm not too happy with this chapter, but whatever I wanted to get this chapter before I left to Sarasota for a week.

I'm also not too happy with my reviews, I really liked the last chapter and I didn't get one review (except for Lori but she doesn't count; sorry Lori) so I want more reviews, please?

So yea, I've been to Seattle before cause my aunt lives there and she lives in an apartment like right in front of the space needle. What I love about Seattle is that it has everything, it has that cool ass fountain and a park, u walk a little bit and there's the fish market and pier with the ocean, and the mountains it's just beautiful. So yeah, just wanted to say that(:

So again, review, I'm thinking of making the next chapter in Alice's POV so let me know what you think.

Oh! I almost forgot, there are pics of Dolce and the space fountain on my profile if you wanna check it out.

Peace!
