Bella

God…this guy was cute. And sexy. And an awesome kisser. I was getting into the kiss like I never had before, pressing against his hard chest, when my stomach lurched. I couldn't exactly end this by puking all over him. Drunk as I was, I had more sense than that.

I pulled away quickly, and ran for the bathroom. Not knowing where it was, I ran for ages, tripping and stumbling, but trying desperately not to hurl in the middle of someone's front room. Eventually I found it, and pushed the queue out of the way, before being violently sick in the toilet. Eurgh. I was gonna feel like utter crap when I woke up.

I left the bathroom in a hurry, looking around for Alice or Jasper. At least one of them could take me home, put me to bed. This whole party was such a stupid idea, and I was making such an idiot of myself.

Hell, I had a right to make an idiot of myself. Alice had dragged me here against my will, at least I could try to have a little fun, and it's not like anyone here knew me anyway. And that guy had kissed me back…I was pretty sure he had been sober as well. Awesome.

I was desperately scanning the crowd, when I realised how thirsty I was. My throat was dry, and yearned for just a drop of water…anything that wasn't completely full of alcohol would do.

I saw a guy nearby with a glass, and it looked like water. The room was spinning so much it was hard to tell, but it wasn't going to do any harm.

"Hey man…" I said, wrenching his arm until he paid me some attention. "Can I have some of that..?"

He grinned at me, and gave me the glass, before hurrying off to the dance floor. My mouth watered as I held it up to me lips, and gulped it down in a hurry. It could at least soothe my stomach as well. Nothing could be too bad.

It was a few seconds later that I felt it. The familiar burn was increased to more than it had been at all this evening, and the room spun faster, faster, until I couldn't see a thing…

Edward

I had walked home briskly, and was now thoroughly enjoying the toasty apartment, now freshly tidied after a hot meal. This was the life, and I wasn't going to let anything change it.

I remembered then that I'd never met Alice's flatmate. Not that it mattered anyway, she was pretty likely to be ugly and boring. Not my type at all.

I settled down in front of the TV, struggling to concentrate as the girl who had kissed me flashed through my mind.

Alice

"Jasper…" I muttered, pulling slightly back from the kiss.

"What is it love…" he murmured, kissing my jawline.

"I need to go find Bella. It's been a while and I feel kinda guilty."

That was true. No matter how gorgeous I'd made her look, she still hated parties, and was probably downstairs bored out of her mind. I wasn't ready to go yet, but I could at least check in with her, be the supportive best friend that I was supposed to be.

"Alright…be back soon okay?" he whispered, kissing me swiftly on the cheek. I could so easily stay….but I needed to find Bella. Focus, Alice!

I knew what would happen. I would find her sitting in the corner, sulking, and she would tell me what a horrible time she was having. I'd have none of that. Sure, I felt guilty but she was so stubborn at times. She's probably been the centre of attention for all males in the room, but pushed them away. I would have to teach her a few things…and get her a makeover.

My mind was so busy whirring through hairstyles and eye shadow colours that I almost tripped over something.

"Hey! Mind where your going…" I snarled, expecting to find someone's leg sticking out, and a drunk guy smirking.

What I did find was much worse.

Under my feet, was Bella, passed out cold on the floor.

Thanks for all updates, I'm really getting into this story, it's taken no time at all to write all this. Awesome!
