The car ride back to forks was uneventful. Alice talked, Edward drove (extremely fast I might add) and I day dreamed and stared at Edward.
Ok, so I wasn't really staring. More like checked to see if he was going to slow down any time soon. Yeah. That's what I did. I was only doing it out of fear for my safety!
When we got back to the house I remembered that I was staying for a sleepover.
The last sleepover I had was when I was 9 back in phoenix. I never really liked sleepovers anyway that much. They all consisted of makeovers, movies and usually a game of truth and dare.
Did I mention sleep in that list? No. I like my sleep and I hate makeovers. Don't even get me started on truth and dare (most embarrassing game ever!).
So why did I agree to have a sleepover with a girl I have known less than a day. I don't know.
At least Alice has an extremely hot brother I can look at if I get bored. I shook my head.
'No Bella, bad Bella!' I thought to myself. 'It is wrong to think that your friend's brother is hot.' However hard I tried I couldn't get Edward Cullen out of my head.
My head. Ouch. Oh the joys of having long hair that little pixie girls can play with. At the moment Alice was giving me a makeover and I barely recognised myself. I never usually wear makeup and I certainly never spend more than five minutes on my hair. Alice had been pulling it into place for at least half an hour now.
Although I have to admit that it looks pretty good.
"Ok Bella. All done. Now I've laid out some clothes for you on my bed. Go and change and then I can go and get Rose to take some photos of you." Alice squealed.
I sighed. 'Yay! Photos!' I thought then she had mentioned someone called Rose.
"Um, Alice, who's Rose?"
Alice giggled. "Oh, how silly of me. I forgot to introduce you to my other brother and his girlfriend. Emmett and Edward are twins, but not identical, and Rose is Emmett's girlfriend and Jasper's older sister. Yeah and Rose wants to be a photographer when she leaves school, so she likes the practise."
I nodded to show her that I understood.
"I guess I'd better get changed then, hadn't I?" I said. Admitting defeat.
Alice clapped her hands and left the room so I could change.
"Come downstairs when you're ready Bella." She called.
I looked at what she'd laid out for me and I saw a midnight blue dress that she had bought for me today. It had ¾ length sleeves and came down to mid thigh. I bit my lip. I was the most revealing thing I would have worn. There were also a pair of silver shoes. Heels. Death traps. I shuddered at the thought of spending my second night in forks in the hospital.
Alice had also put a silver clutch bag out. Great, so now if I fell, I wouldn't even have my hands to fall on or to steady myself.
I hurriedly pulled the dress over my head, taking care not to ruin all Alice's careful work on my hair and face. Then I slipped on the shoes. I gingerly took a few practise steps around the room and I was quite pleased when I only stumbled once.
I grabbed my bag, took a deep breath and opened the door. I grabbed onto the hand rail by the stairs and walked down, concentrating on watching my feet and trying not to fall and do some serious damage to myself or whoever was at the bottom of the staircase.
I made it down eventually and looked up. There I saw Alice waving to me from a doorway. I walked over and saw that it was a studio. There was a white backdrop and behind the camera I saw the most beautiful girl I had ever seen in my life.
She had long blonde hair that fell down her back and a figure to die for. She looked up as we came in.
"Hi, you must be Bella. I'm Rosalie Hale, but you can call me Rose." She said smiling.
"Hi. It's, uh, nice to meet you" I stuttered, inwardly cursing myself for not sounding more like a normal person and less like, well, me. I also had to bite my tongue to stop myself asking her if she had got confused and was supposed to model herself.
Rose then made me stand in front of the white backdrop and told me to do certain things as she snapped away.
"Ok, now turn around and look over your shoulder. That's it. Good, Bella!"
I giggled as I saw Alice turn on a wind machine.
"Wow, Bella. You make a great model. You up for doing this again sometime?"
Model?! I was actually modelling. And I am enjoying it.
What is happening to me?
"Yeah, of course Rose, but are sure you want me? I mean Alice is so much prettier than me." I stuttered.
"Bella, you are every bit as beautiful as Alice, and I have tried using her as a model before, but you know Alice. She just wouldn't stay still. So now Alice picks out the outfits and does the hair and makeup for whoever models for me. We both enjoy it anyway." Rose said.
Then I went back to striking poses for the camera.

As soon as we arrived back at the house, Alice had grabbed the bags and Bella and disappeared into her room.
I was still trying to convince myself that Bella was just any other girl. But I couldn't. She was special and beautiful and...
I was forced out of daydream about Bella as I heard an explosion come through the speakers of the T.V.
I am currently being forced to sit in the den and play video games with my twin brother Emmett.
We might share the same birthday and be very tall, but the similarities end there. I love to play my piano and I love listening to any music. I find school interesting, but I don't like gym, even if I am good at it.
Emmett, on the other hand only likes rock music and rap music. He hates school and thinks the only good thing about it is gym.
I own a silver Volvo, which I use to drive myself to school and my black and blue motorbike.
Emmett has a jeep.
So yeah, you wouldn't know that we were related at all, let alone twins!
"Come on Eddie, you can do better than that" Emmett teased, as my character died, yet again.
I sighed. I really hated playing video games and I wasn't good at them either.
"The name is Edward." I said, gritting my teeth. "Get it right Emmie bear."
That got him. I'd once heard his girlfriend Rose call him that and it seemed that only she was allowed to call him that.
"Fine, Edward. But you call me Emmie bear again and you won't know what's hit you." He growled.
"Where's Rose. You're making this too easy for me. I need proper competition."
I shrugged. "I think she's in the studio. I'll go get her." I got up and headed downstairs to the studio. When Rose and Emmett had started dating she had mentioned something about being a professional photographer when she left school.
When they had gotten serious and it was clear that Rose would be around for a while, Esme had transformed one of the downstairs cupboards into a studio for Rose.
I stopped outside the door and heard a lot of giggling from inside. Was Rose in the middle of one of her photo shoots, and if she was, who was her model?
I opened the door and my breath caught in throat as I saw who was modelling.
Bella was standing with her hands on her hips and one leg in front of the other. She was wearing a dark blue dress and silver heels. I desperately tried to control my blush as I saw just how short and revealing her dress was.
Then she looked up.
"Hey Edward." She said. Alice and Rose now alerted about my presence, span round.
"Rose, Emmett wants you to go and play video games with him." I said, addressing the blonde.
She rolled her eyes.
"Ok, sorry you two. Looks like we're going to have to stop for now. You were great Bella and remember what I girls."
Rose then left. I shifted uncomfortably as Bella grabbed a silver bag and announced she was going to get changed. She brushed past me on her way out and I gasped as my arm tingled from where she had touched it.
I walked out of the room in a daze and headed for my piano.

Alice had decided that we should sleep in the living room, as it would make it seem more like a sleepover.
Alice has been asleep for half an hour now, but I can't sleep. Every time I close my eyes I see Edward.
Eventually I fell asleep and then my nightmare started.
(Bella's nightmare)
I was walking along the beach. Edward was swimming in the sea.
"Come and join me Bella" he called. I grinned and tried to get to him, but my feet were stuck in quicksand. I was being dragged under and when I opened my mouth no sound came out.
Edward was still swimming, unaware of what was happening to me.
Then he turned around.
"Bella!" he cried.
"Bella!" this time the voice was louder and clearer.
(End of nightmare)
Someone was shaking me awake.
"Bella, come on. Open your eyes." I obeyed the voice and looked up.
"Edward!" I gasped. Then I remembered the nightmare and I started sobbing into Edward's chest.
"I couldn't speak and... And... Swimming...you." I stuttered.
His arms wrapped around me as he whispered soothingly in my ear.
"Shh, Bella. You're fine. I won't let anything hurt you. Ever."
Then, before I could protest, he picked me up.
He took me across the hall and then set me down on a couch.
In the centre of the room was a grand piano.
"Sleep now Bella." Edward murmured as he sat down on the piano bench.
He started to play a soft lullaby. It was the most beautiful I've ever heard and I struggled to stop my eyes from closing. Eventually, I stopped fighting and gave in to the darkness.

I finished my tune and looked across as Bella finally fell asleep.
Flashback
I had been on my way to get a drink from the kitchen when I passed the living room and saw someone tossing around in their sleep.
I knew Alice was a heavy sleeper, so that meant it had to be Bella. My drink forgotten, I walked over to her and called her name.
"Bella!" I called, trying not to wake Alice. I shook her gently.
"Bella, come on. Open your eyes." I pleaded.
I breathed a sigh of relief as her eyes opened.
End of flashback
I walked over to Bella and gently picked her up. Then I took her up to my room and set her down on my bed and pulled the covers up over her.
Without thinking, I kissed her forehead.
"Sleep, my Bella." I whispered.
