The Club
BPOV
As I drove back to Seattle I couldn't help but remember the sad look in Edward's eyes has we talked. I mean I didn't even know I was this angry about something that happened so many years ago. We were just kids but his words meant so much to me. It wasn't right for me to just blow up on him like that.
I arrived back at work and walked the long hallways until I made it to my cubicle. I sat my purse in my desk along with my car keys and phone. I logged on and started to work my butt off so I didn't have to think about what just happened at the Cullen's. Or the fact that Ella is gone. I shouldn't have gotten attached to her like that.
"How did she take it?" I heard the voice of a pixie at the entrance of my cubicle. Their stood my best friend, Alice Brandon, she was also a social worker. Like me, she was abandoned but she was only a two days old when she got dropped off in front of a hospital.
"She cried and didn't want me to go." I said as I remember the tears streaming down her face and the way she look at me. "I shouldn't have gotten attached to her, Alice. It just made it that much harder to drive her to their house. I'm not even gonna mention the other drama that went on."
"What other drama?" said my other best, Rosalie, who walked up and stood next to Alice.
"Remember when I told you guys about the foster home I stayed in when I was six? My best friend, Edward? Ringing any bells?" I asked them. I remember telling them about my best friend but I don't think I told them his name or anything else.
They both nodded, "Well my best friend, Edward just so happens to be Edward Cullen. The Cullen's were the ones who wanted to adopt Ella. I saw him today and we talked. Well I yelled at him about the past." I said as I cringed at the look on his face.
"You yelled at him? Bella, your not a child and that was the past. You know, you should have talked it out with him like an adult." Rosalie chastised me. "You probably made the poor guy feel bad." she stated.
I nodded and told the exactly what happened after I walked out of the door. I told them everything I said and what he said. The look on his face when I said certain words. What he told me about trying to get the Cullen family to adopt me but that they couldn't. How he wanted to talk about it more. How he wanted me to forgive him. I told Alice and Rosalie ever detail about our brief conversation.
I noticed that Alice was silent the entire time. "Alice? You there?" I said as I waved my hand in front of her face. She looked at me and said what. "What's wrong? You haven't said a word." I asked her.
"Um, you said that the Cullen's are taking care of Ella?" she asked me with a worried look on her face. I nodded, "Ok, um, how do you feel about Edward? I mean like would you talk to him?" she asked me.
I looked at Rosalie who had the same confused look that im sure was plastered on my face. "I wouldn't hang out with him socially. I mean, I just yelled at the guy for something that happened more than a decade ago. We wont be talking anytime soon." I told her. "Why do you ask?"
Her face suddenly changed and she was grinning and being her usually happy self again. "No reason. Moving past this fiasco. You have been working entirely too hard so Rose and I are inviting you out tonight." Alice said.
"You are? I thought you guys were suppose to go out with the guys you two have been dating?" I asked. Rose and Alice have been going out for the past month with some guys they met. I haven't met them yet, but Rose and Alice seem really happy so I'm sure ill like them.
"Yea we are. We want you to come too." Alice said.
"This is the perfect time for you to meet them." Rose said.
"Um, alright. Where are we going?" I asked.
"There is a new club on North Ave. We'll come by and get you ready around eight o' clock and we meet the guys at the club around nine." Alice stated cheerfully. She liked going out cause its always a good opportunity to dress me up like a doll.
"Sounds good." I said smiling to both of them. They retreated to their cubicles and I continued my work.

"Guys, I really don't wanna be a fifth wheel on a double date." I said. Jasper and Emmett still trying to convince me that they want me to go out them tonight. They invited me and I said yes, but I didn't know that their girlfriends were coming too. So here we are getting ready at Emmett's house in Seattle. I feel like I'm intruding and that this night is gonna be pretty boring. I mean I'll just sit there and drink while I watch my brothers me be happy and flirtatious with their dates. Not fun.
"Dude, relax. We invited you and I'm sure the girls we'll be fine with it. Besides, Jasper and I really want you to meet these girls." Emmett stated spraying on cologne in the mirror. He was checking himself out and blowing kisses at his own reflection.
"Emmett's right, Edward. Relax. We want you to come. Plus you need a fun night out from all the stress at work." Jasper said smiling.
"Yea, does that Tanya chick still have her lips glued to your but?" Emmett asked with a goofy grin.
"Very fun, guys. Hurry up, if you wanna make it on time. Its two minutes to nine now." I said. A few minutes after that we were out the door and driving through Seattle to the club.
We entered Club 69 and the club was dark. Strobe lights and neon lights were all over the place. The DJ was playing Lmfao Party Rock and people on the dance floor were everywhere dancing to beat. Some were in their own little worlds as the y grinded up against each other. The bar was on the far side of the club, the entire side was the bar. The club at quiet rooms in the back with sound proof class and curtains if you wanted privacy. They had set all around, and waitress in black pants with black and purple corsets.
I felt a tap on my shoulder from Jaspers who pointed to where Emmett was. Emmett had found us a table and said he got a text from the girls saying they would be here in five minutes.
We sat their looking lonely and dumb for awhile until I decided I needed a drink. I got up from the table and headed to the bar. The bartender took my order and she winked at me before she left. That brought a smile to my face. I looking at all the bottles in front of all the neon lights on the shelf until something caught my attention when I turned my head for second.
I saw a woman with black four inch heels on, she had long creamy skinned legs that led up to a short skirt and a halter top with silver design on the front. I only saw the back of her but from what I could tell her hair was brown with some reddish tent to it. She was standing a couple feet away from me now at the bar.
Feeling kind of confident I decided to walk over to her. I wanted to have some fun tonight. The bartender just handed me my drink when Emmett came over to tell me the girls were here. I told him I would be there in a minute. I looked at the spot where the woman was standing and she was gone. Just my luck.
I just got out of the crowed of people and was standing in front of our booth when Jasper said, There you are. Edward, this is Alice Brandon and Rosalie Hale. Emmett and my girlfriend. And this is their friend from work, Bella Swan." he said. I looked up to see the woman I saw standing at the bar. Bella Swan was the woman?
