*B POV*
After working at the studio for a couple of weeks we no longer needed Leah to escort us, we could find our way and people recognized us, I will never forget that day, it was the first week of August and the sun was shinning as we walked into the studio, we were arm in arm as we strolled down the hallway, suddenly a door to our right flew open and a girl in a white robe stormed out screaming her head off.
"I am never going to work with those dumb bitches ever again, if they aren't smart enough to realize that getting drunk the night before a shoot and showing up hungover is the dumbest thing they could do then they need to go work for chicks gone wild!"
With that she slammed the door and stormed down the hallway, we shrugged and continued on, this wasn't the first time we'd witnessed one of the models throwing a hissy fit, we went to our change rooms and put on the swim suits and beach shorts with flip flops that hung on the back of the door, today was going to be a quick session as our poses were fixed and it was for a summer sporting wear company, they were all individual shots but would be featured in the same magazine but spread out.
We walked onto the set to see a huge pile of sand with some props on it, Rose was going to be laying on her stomach on a green towel sunbathing, the logo of the brand on the butt of her swimsuit bottoms, I was to be posed holding a volleyball between the side of my hip and my wrist while my other hand was on my other hip, my hair had been flat ironed pin straight today and a fan was blowing to make my hair drift lightly across my face in the shot.
Alice was probably the cutest of them all for her they brought in a replica lifegaurd chair and she sat sideways at the top of it with one leg crossed over the other at the knee and she had a whistle hanging out of her mouth.
We had just finished shooting having only been here for three hours, when suddenly a very angry looking woman stormed onto or set and began yelling at Leah who'd come to see how we were doing.
"Why the Hell did you cancel my shoot! were you dropped on your head? Franchesca NEEDS these photos for her 'Frightfully Sexy' Halloween shoot! If she loses this deal with Victoria secret its on your head!"
The woman stood there with her arms crossed and waited for Leah to respond.
"Helen...two models showed up hung over and the other quit, what do you want me to do? I can't just pull three models out of my ass now can I?"
The woman who had yelled at her looked defeated and then she glanced at us and her eyes sparkled.
"What about those three? Frank just said it was a wrap so they aren't busy...can I use them?"
Her eyes narrowed dangerously at Leah and we all held our breath.
Leah sighed and looked at us.
"Girls?"
We screamed and hugged each other but it was cut short when Helen started barking orders at us and chased us into our change room shortly after there was a harsh knock on the door and then before anyone answered it, it flew open and Helen stormed in.
She shoved some black and orange fabric at Alice, it turns out it was a Teddy, the satin underneath was orange while the lace on top was black.
She shoved purple and black fabric at Rose, she was given a slip that was purple silk trimmed with black lace.
And at me, she shoved a simple midnight blue lace bra and underwear, thank goodness not a thong.
We were all given identical black heels to wear.
I suddenly changed my mind about doing this shoot but I couldn't back out now, I couldn't deny this chance to Alice and Rose.
After we were dressed we were given white robes like the one we'd seen the fussy girl wearing earlier.
we were sent to hair and make up, Alice had extensions again, Rose's hair was volumized and curly, my hair was pulled into a low side ponytail and formed into one giant sausage curl that hung on my left shoulder over where the bra strap on that side was.
Once we were in the private studio we were stripped of our robes and handed props.
Not a single picture was taken as Helen spent almost an hour getting us to pose just right.
Rose was on my right and Alice was on my left, which put me right in the middle.
Alice and Rose were given witches brooms, and directed to crouch next to them with one hand at the top of the broom handle while seductively biting the thumb of their other hand.
Both of their poses had them turned slightly sides but out on a slight angle towards the camera, yay for me having a head on shot while I was practically naked!
After they were posed Hellen came up to me, she stuck a very small but elegent witches hat on my head, the colour matching my lack of outfit perfectly, I was to cross my ankles while standing, I was to place one hand on Rose's hand on top of the broom and my other hand ontop of Alice's on her broom.
Once Helen was satisfied with our poses she went behind the camera it flashed no more than five times and she was thanking us for our time and we would hear from her soon.
We put our robes back on and walked stunned to our dressing room where we put our street clothes back on, packed our clothes from our shoots into our bags and went out to my car.
*J POV*
We were getting more and more out there, doing small concerts then opening at a big one, mall signings, walking around LA so the paparazzi would see us, it was all quite enjoyable, I enjoyed my down time though, I would do just what the title entales I would relax, but Edward would go out and party all night and wake up hung over but be 'fine' after he ate something, the only time I would see him sit still was when he was on the phone with Bella at night always for an hour, never any longer, but Bella and I would talk at sporadic times through the day, wether it was just a quick text or an e-mail or she couldn't sleep and was on instant messanger at four in the morning, a girl always talks to her bestfriend more than her boyfriend but she always had Edward included in our conversations some how.
The last time I'd spoken to her on the phone she'd mentioned something about a surprise photoshoot and if it wasn't too embarrassing she would consider sending me a copy when she got it.
~*September 13th*~
*B POV*
"Happy 19th Birthday Bella!"
The screaming and the sudden bouncing of my bed alerted me to the fact that my roomates were awake before my for once, also that it was my brithday.
I smiled as I sat up and had two flat medium sized boxes shoved at me.
I opened the first one and there was a dark blue cap sleeved silk blouse inside with a plain button up front, this was from Alice.
The second one contained a white pleated silk skirt, this was from Rose.
"Awh thanks you guys!"
We went out for dinner that night and I was told to wear this outfit, so I did and we had a blast as usual, I don't know how they got a hold of it but when we got back to the apartment they pulled a bottle of Tequila out of nowhere and we did shots, having a total blast without getting completely shit faced just really buzzed but we knew our limit, I went to bed feeling very happy and excited for work the next day.
We woke up bright and early feeling surprisingly well considering our beverage choice of the evening.
We had just walked into work and were heading to our dressing room when a very frightening looking woman stepped infront of us, she had a very snooty looking entourage behind her we mumbled a hello and she scoffed.
"Looook at zees faces, dhey are 'ow you say...fresh!"
Then she pointed a long finger at each of us.
"You, You and You, follow me!"
She turnd on her heel and passed through her groupies not even looking to see if we'd folowed but we did as we rushed to keep up with her.
We followed her right to Leah's office she told her entourage to leave us and motioned us inside and demanded we sit down.
Leah who was on the phone looked up and her eyes went wide and then she looked at us and her eyebrows shot into her hairline, she quickly ended the call and hung up.
"What can I do for you Mrs-"
The frightening lady held up her hand to silence Leah and it worked, she strode right up to Leah's desk and pointed at us.
"Did you even loook at ze pictures you sent me of zees gurls?"
Leah nodded her head and the woman scoffed again.
"Zees girls will never work for zis magazine again!"
Leah opened her mouth to protest but she was cut off yet again.
" 'ow could you send me zose pictures and not expect somzing to happen?"
We were sitting in our seats horrified, were the pictures to scandelous? we hadn't even seen them just posed then left...
Leah stood up straighter and looked the woman straight in the eye.
"What do you plan on doing with these girls?"
The woman laughed...well more like cackled but we kind of knew it was supposed to be a laugh...sort of.
"Zees girls are being removed from your employment and zigning contracts with me and coming with me to model for my magazine in 'OllyWood"
The silence in the room was deafening we'd only been in this since June and it was only mid September! This was ridiculous this doesn't happen in real life! I pinched myself and flinched at the pain on my arm.
Holy Crap!
The woman turned to us and spoke slowly as if we were children
"You are not going to be 'aving your session today ladiez instead you are going home to pack your clothez and you are going to phone your parents and in four dayz time you are going to meet me at zis address promptly and noon."
She handed us each a card and strode out of the room, we heard her heels clicking down the hallway, we waited until they had faded away and at the same time Leah, Alice, Rose and I all screamed.
*J POV*
I'd tried calling Bella the day after her birthday but there wasn't an answer, and still the same thing for the two weeks that followed I heard nothing, then exactly two weeks after I'd tried calling her I had an E-mail from her.
Hey Jasper!
Ahhh I have great news!
Franchesca DiMercelloni Came to Seattle!
We stood in for a halloween shoot (just sent the magazine via express post to you the page is folded over) that some models had quit and she loved us, she practically bought us out from Leah, we had to move pretty fast so baisically all we could bring were clothes and sentimental stuff, Alice, Rose and I donated everything else to a women's shelter.
The best news of all though is that I'm going to come visit you in LA!
I spoke to Mr. Black and he said Wednesday was good
Please tell Edward that I'm REALLY sorry I havent been able to call him, and I'm really sorry that I missed your call after my birthday things just got so hectic so fast :-(
Let me know how I can repay you guys and I will!
All my love.
Bella 3 x
I had absolutely no idea who Franchesca DiMerce-what's-her-face was but Bella seemed very excited, I replied congratulating her on this opportunity.
I heard the door to our suite slam as Edward knocked something over I sent off the E-mail and walked out to see if he'd hurt himself what I saw made me want to be sick.
Edward was in the front hall but he had some blonde bimbo pinned against the wall in a tounge war, I grabbed him by his collar and pulled him off of her and pressed his back against the other wall.
"What the Hell are you doing Edward?"
His grin was big and sloppy, he was shit faced.
"Wuduz it look like im doin?"
I wanted to punch him so hard right now.
"Have you forgotten something?"
At his confused look I continued.
"Brown hair, chocolate eyes, about yay high, known her since we were six? ring any bells, oh and here's another hint she's your girlfriend!"
I released his shirt roughly causing him to stumble
He waved his hand at me dismissively.
"Ah she has her own life now, shez a big time model in Seattle, plush shezzz never gonna visit us, she has ferrrrgotten all about us"
I smirked when I gave him the next bit of news.
"In the E-mail she just sent me she said she's going to be here on Wednesday"
The goofy grin fell off of his face as he shoved the obviously drunk bimbo into the hallway, he spun around on me suddenly very sober and stuck his finger in my face.
"If you tell her Jasper I swear I'll make you regret it"
I sneered at him, I was swiftly losing respect for my brother.
"I wouldn't dare cause her pain like that...you're the one who is going to tell her"
He glared at me and stormed into his room, I sighed and raked my hands through my hair feeling suddenly exhausted, I went to my room and climbed under my sheets and fell into a fitful sleep.
I woke up feeling more tired than when I went to bed, I walked groggily to the kitchenette and put some coffee on, I heard a thump at the front door and looked outside to find the newspaper there with a larg padded manilla envelope addressed to me.
I brought it to the table and left it there while I made my coffee, lots of sugar and a little bit of cream.
I walked back to the table and sat down, I opened the envelope and there were two copies of Spring, which was apparently an international award winner for women's magazines.
I tossed one copy aside, knowing it was for Edward, I flicked through the corners looking for a folded one but I guess she forgot so I started at the beginning, flipping through each page slowly.
I was at about the middle of the magazine when I spotted something Halloween related, the phrase at the bottom of the page is what caught my eye first.
Who doesn't want to be 'Frightfully Sexy' this Halloween?
~Victoria Secret~
Nah Bella would never have the confidence do something like this though I know she could, I grew up with the girl I knew first hand that she had a gorgeous figure.
I glanced at the girls on the page one blonde one brunette and one with black hair, I was about to turn the page when the girl in the middle caught my attention, I started at her shoes slowly scanning my eyes up her legs to her flat stomach then to her chest, I brought my coffee cup to my lips and took a sip as my eyes landed on the girl's face.
I was coughing and choking and moaning in agony as scalding coffee coursed down my windpipe, it couldn't be! No way, my eyes were playing tricks on me!
I looked again and nope, I was right, Bella was the sexy brunette in nothng but a bra and a pair of panties, that is an image that I won't easily get out of my head.
After I had calmed down a little I performed my usual ritual, I carefully removed the page leaving it completely intact and pulled out the scrap book of all of Bella's work.
I flipped through what she had done so far, my absolute favourite...well second favourite now, was one where here and her modeling partners were having a mock slumber party her hair was in braided pig tails and they were having a pillow fight it looked so natural you'd think someone snapped a candid photo of them having a real pillow fight.
I secured the new image into the scrap book and put it back under my bed. Yup you guessed it Edward doesn't know about the scrap book, but he doesn even like that Bella is doin the modeling either, he tells her that he is proud of her and that it is so great to see her in a magazine when he never even opens the copies that she sends him.
He's always telling me how it is going to change her and he can already hear it in her voice when he talks to her on the phone, all I hear in her voice is excitement for her work, I was becomeing increasingly concerned for my brother...maybe this visit with Bella on Wednesday would do him some good...I just hoped he'd acctually tell her about the blonde bimbo that he was miking out with...
*B POV*
I sent off the E-mail to Jasper and closed my computer, right now Alice, Rose and I were sharing a three bedroom apartment in a fairly highclass section of LA I don't even want to say how much Franchesca gave us as a downpayment for signing with her, it made me feel like I'd sold my soul...well this was the modeling business so I pretty much had.
It was huge and the fact that it had those really cool windows that by pressng a button on a remote shades would slide down inside them and make it pitch black in the room was wicked awesome!
The closet in my room was the size of my bedroom in our old apartment in Seattle, I wanted to know how much this place was costing in rent but Franchesca merely said.
"Do not worry, eet iz taken care of"
So now we pretty much waited around for Franchesca to tell someone she wanted us in a particular shoot, she gave us a couple of weeks to settle in though, so I took Wednesday to go and visit my boys, I was bouncing in my seat in the cab on the way over to the hotel.
I got up to their floor and knocked on their door, I heard a muffled;
"Who is it?"
I giggled and put on a fake voice
"Roooom Service!"
I heard more grumbling as the door slowly opened.
"Didn't order no damn room- (gasp)-BELLA!"
It was Jasper who'd answered the door and I threw myself into his arms as he spun me around in a wide hug and we just kep laughing while looking at each other then I heard a throat clear from behind me and I spun around only to have Edwards lips crushed into mine as he held me tightly against himself.
When we broke apart my eyes were brimming with unshed tears and he caught one on his thumb as it spilled over.
"Don't cry love, you're here now"
I smiled and motioned Jasper over and we clung to each other in a group hug for who knows how long, then we just sat and talked for hours.
We were positioned on the couch they way we used to si back home, me cuddled into Edwards side with my legs across Jasper's lap while he massaged my calf muscles, suddenly my phone started ringing, I looked at the caller ID and sighed.
"It's Bianca, my agent, I have to take this call"
I stepped into the kitchenette to answer it and she gave me some really exciting news.
*J POV*
"So Edward...When are you going to tell her?"
He glared at me and was about to say something when Bella's scream sounded from the kitchen we were both there in a flash and she spun to face us with a huge grin on her face.
"Uh-huh, yes, of course! that's not a problem...yes, oh thank you so much Bianca!, you're the best, buh-bye now"
She hung up her phone and hugged us both tightly.
"Im going to Paris! its only for three months, Franchesca want's the girls and I to train in her different schools, I'm going to Paris, Rose is going to London and Alice is going to Italy! oh my gosh!"
I squeezed her tighter with the arm that I had around her and I felt her pat my back.
We had just gotten her back and she would be leaving so soon, two days to be exact, she promised to e-mail us every day and call us when she could, but it was going to be hard...especially because I don't know if Edward can be trusted...we'd only ben here for a few short months and it was as is he'd left his morals back in Forks.
*E POV*
Great, yet again her career was getting in the way of us being together...this really sucked, I guess I can just hang out with the guys and go to the clubs and stuff for fun.
I hugged her tighter as Tanya crossed my mind, this gave me three more months to avoid that conversation at least.
*B POV*
They stood with me at the airport and I held both of thir hands, it was just like when they left for LA but this time, it was me leaving them behind, when I heard my flight called I hugged Edward tightly to myself and kissed him deeply before I turned to give Jasper a hug.
When my arms went around him, I felt him slip something into my jacket pocket but I was to focused on hugging him to care what it was at the moment.
Once I was on the plane I started to cry, I had just gotten them back and now I was leaving them behind, it was absolutely heart breaking... this was the worst September ever.
~October~
I called Rose and Alice when I landed I was on my way to the rooming house where I would be living with the other models for this three months, they were going to be leaving for the airport to get to their destinations in about an hour, I had arranged for Edward and Jasper to live in our apartment for the time that we would be gone but only Edward was up for the offer but at last minute decided he would stay at the hotel as it was easier for food cause all he had to do was order room service, that stung a little bit but I understood, he burned water when he tried to make mac and cheese.
Now three weeks since I'd left I spoke to Jasper on the phone once a week, Edward was always harder to reach as he went out in public to partis to get himself out there and I understood that, he always replied to my E-mails so I wasn't too fussed about it.
The girls I lived with were totally catty so unless I was at the academy I was in my room on my computer or on the phone.
I tried calling Edward on his birthday but he didn't pick up even though I'd called Jasper first to find out where he was, I figured Jasper must have been mistaken, it made me feel low to know that we had drifted apart Edward and I, when we were still living down the street from each other when we'd first started dating he couldn't go to bed at night without calling me, now that we were an entire ocean apart, he didn't have the time to pick up the phone...
~November~
I was excelling in the academy and Franchesca was talking to the academy director about possibly sending some girls home a couple of weeks early so it was decided that I would be back in LA during the first week of December, I went sight seeing and saw the Eifle tower, I went to the Louvre, and I ate in one of those little sidewalk Cafe's you see in movies.
~December~
I got on the plane and couldn't stop bouncing , I was going back to my boys I'd only seen them once in the past six months and now I was getting a whole month off to just rest. I went to put my jacket on as I was cold and felt something in the pocket, I'd completely forgotten! back at the airport when I was leaving Jasper had put something into my pocket!
I pulled out the now very creased envelope and looked inside to find a note taped to a hotel room key.
the note was in his loopy handwritting.
You'll always be family Bella, when you get back from Paris, come visit us
J 3 x
I smiled and tucked the key into my purse and fell asleep for the remainder of the flight.
in the airport limo I gave the driver two addresses, I gave him Alice, Rose and I's apartment and told him to continue onto there with myluggage after dropping me at the guy's hotel.
I gave him a generous tip before climbing out it was still very early barley five thirty in the morning, but I would just sit on the couch in the living rooma nd wait for them to wake up.
I slid the key into the door and opened it as quietly as I could I kept my purse on my shoulder as I snuck to Jaspers room first, I was only going to peek in, I was dissappointed when I saw just the rumpled sheets on the bed and no body, that's whn I noticed the note taped to his door.
Ed,
gone down to gym to work out
be back soon...though you probably won't be awake to read this not before I return
J
I taped the note back to his door and tiptoed down the hall to Edwards room, I eased the door open enough for me to squeeze my head through I was just about to peek in when and arm grabbed me around the waist, it was Edward! I threw my arms around him as I kissed him passionately, he kissed me back as he pulled me close to him, he kept looking towards his door so I tried to guide us there but he kept us rooted to the spot.
I was confused until I heard a oice from behind us and it was most definitely not Jasper.
"Eddie, where'd you go? I'm cold"
I spun around just in time to see a blonde with very fake breasts stepp out of Edwards room without a stitch of clothing on, I turned to Edward with questions in my eyes and he only stared at me as if wondering what I would do next, I made to turn and run out of there but he grabbed my wrist.
Not in control of myself I swung around and slapped him hard on the face, he released me and I bolted for the door.
I left it open as I ran out, I was hyperventilating by this point and ran smack into somebody coming out of the elevator, as I gasped for air I heard someone calling my name I looked up and burst into tears.
Jasper lifted me to my feet and hugged me he kept asking me what was wrong but I just shook my head, he then started guiding back down the hall and I freaked.
"No no I can't go back in there I won't!"
He looked confused and looked me in the eye.
"I'm so done with him, first he doesn't talk to me when I'm in Paris and now when I come here to surprise you guys with my early return he's in bed w-with...her..."
Jasper cursed under his breath and pulled away to storm to their room but I caught his sleeve.
"C-can you just t-take me home p-please Jazz...I just want to go home"
He nodded stiffly and we went downstairs and hailed a cab, I cried in his arms the whole way to my apartment, we got inside and my luggage was already there in the front hall but Jasper ignored it as he took me to the couch in the sitting area.
We sat down and he just hugged me until I cried myself dry.
I was drifting to sleep when I heard the beeping of him pressing buttons on his phone and then I heard his voice which was as rich as it ever had been.
"Hey Jacob...I have a question...How likely is it that I could make it solo? Awesome because..."
This is where I drifted to sleep so I missed the rest of the conversation.
I jolted awake at the violent pounding on the front door I gorand and squeezed my eyes shut as bright sunlight burned my retina's.
"Stay down on th couch Bella, let me see who it is first"
Jasper tucked the blanket that hadn't been there before around me and kissed my forhead as I nodded, I heard his footsteps in the hallway and the shutter on the eye hole oppened with a click.
"Shit..."
I heard the door open slightly and Jasper took a deep breath.
"What do you want Edward."
I heard a scoff and a bang letting me know that he had stormed in.
"Im here to see my girlfriend, great job by the way deciding to let me go solo, you were holding me back, its like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders...BELLA!"
I clasped my hands over my ears as he shouted and stormed through the apartment, when he went into one of the bedrooms Jasper rushed me into he kitchen closing the door behind me softly, I
could still hear Edward clearly though.
(Bella, Jasper, Edward)
"Where is she?"
"She went out"
"What did she go out for, she just got back from Paris"
"I don't know maybe she went out to find a decent guy since her ex-boyfriend is such a douche?"
"I'm not her ex...we are still very much together"
I rolled my eyes here, we were so over it was like the end credits in the movie, the show was done yet he was still hanging around, fooling himself that more scenes would appear on the screen.
"Ha ha that's funny, cause quote, 'I'm so done with him' end quote...I think she broke up with you dude, and by the looks of your face she made the message very clear..."
"She didn't give me time to explain"
Ugh the whine in his voice was so irritating.
"She was gone for three months, I hadn't seen her for three months before that, what was I supposed to do?"
This is where I snapped and stormed out of the kitchen and got right in his face.
"What were you supposed to do? hmmm let me think, oh yes how about not cheat! I never once even thought about another guy, let alone do...whatever it was you were doing with that fake extension wearing slut!"
Before I could blink his hand shot out and I felt the sting on my face before I even realized he'd hit me, immediately I saw his face twist into a mask that I had never seen on his face, it was somwhere between a cocky smirk and a disgusted sneer.
"Yes this coming from the girl who wears only her underwear to stand infront of a camera!"
I think Jasper was just as shocked as I was otherwise I know he'd have done something to Edward for hitting a woman.
I could feel the sneer slide onto my face as I crossed my arms and stood my ground.
"You disgust me Edward, how someone who was so sweet and amazing could change so drastically in six months I will never know, all I do know is that I'm not going to waste my time with him anymore."
Suddenly he had an iron grip on my upper arm and he was shaking me with each word he said, I could hear a loud noise,a mix bewteen a whimper and a scream and realised it was me
"You. Are. Nothing. Without. Me, If it werent't for me Jacob Black would never have met you!"
Before I knew what was happening, a hugely muscled guy burst into the appartment and grabbed Edward by the back of the neck and threw him out into the hallway.
"Get out of here before I do something that makes my parol officer angry with me!"
We heard Edward scramble to his feet and then running feet in the hallway that slowly faded into nothing, the big guy turned around as he closed the door, other than his size he looked totally harmless.
"Hey, I'm Emmet, I live next door, you okay hun? He didn't hurt you too badly did he?"
I shook my head as I rubbed my arm, him and Jasper shook hands and suddenly they were behiaving as if they'd been friends forever.
That week Jasper moved in, we bought a cot and put it into my room, goodness knows it was big enough, his clothes fit easily into my almost bare looking closet despite the amount of clothes I really did have.
Emmett was over almost every night with Jasper and I, I would cook dinner and we'd eat it as we watched TV, Edward came over once after the incident but ti was only to have Jasper sign the contract of their separation.
It acctually seemed like it was going to work out well like this, Jasper could focus on just guitar and vocal which he loved and Edward was going to make a band of his own where he played piano and did lead vocals.
It upset me that I had more or less been the cause of the rift that split them apart, that was until Jasper told me of some more of Edwards extracuricular activities like the fact he enjoyed cocaine and ectasy, as far as I was concerned he did me a favour by cheating, then I didnt feel as if I needed to fix him.
Rose was due home tonight so I was going to make home made hamburgers for her, when I got to work I was greeted in my dressing room by none other than Franchesca herself.
"You are no longer going to be you, vee need a new identity for you!"
I was stunned into silence...I though I was pretty good, of course she knew more about ti than I did...obviously.
(Bella, Franchesca)
"o-okay"
"Vhat is your name?"
"Bella Swan-"
"No No NO! is not a model name is a girl next door name...what is your name?"
"Isabella Swan?"
"Hmmmm, no, you are Isobelle now...well to everyone but your friends...now when girls look upon your face in magazine they will now say! 'Look at how gorgeous, sexy, or beautiful Isobelle is!' Not Oh that girl is pretty but 'hoo is she? No now! You are a famous model...well you will be it will take time...but you will get there."
I nodded, agreeing with everything she said, mostly because I didn't actually mind but also because that was the best way to keep my job.
The few hours that I'd been at work made me absolutely exhausted, so when I got back to the appartment I decided to take a quick nap before making dinner.
Next thing I knew I awoke with a start and I could smell food, I jumped out of bed and saw Rose and Alice sitting at the dining table with Jasper and Emmett and some guy I didn't know but he looked familiar.
The three of us screamed as they ran to me and we hugged in a circle.
"Alice what are yo doing home so early! you were supposed to be in Itally for five months"
She grinned as she hugged me tighter.
"I'm not a model anymore! I'm a designer! I was just sketching some outfits and one of the directors saw them, he sent them off to Franchesca and she came down herself to visit me in person telling me that I would, and I quote, 'no longer be wearing zees clothez for zis cameram but I wuld be creating zees clothez for zis camera!'"
She flourished her hands around dramatically just like Franchesca and we all laughed.
"Apparently I have a new name, Franchesca says the public will now know me as 'Isobelle' it actually is quite a nice name"
We joined the guys at the table and I realized where I recognized the other guy from.
"OH MY GOD! HOUSE OF PIE!"
He laughed and shrugged his shoulders
"Pizza guy!"
I laughed as I saw Alice snuggle into his side and he kissed the top of her head.
Rose and I gave evil glances at each other and made a commotion simultaneously.
"Awh Alice, so adorable, give us a kiss!"
They pecked sweetly and Rose and I high fived
This was begining to become a routine, Pizza guy, who's name was actually Zach, moved into Alices room, and just after christmas Emmett and Rose decided they were in love and she moved in next door with him, so Jasper finally got his own room.
Now coming into March, Fracnchesca had Rose and I more busy than ever, there were spring lines to shoot and summer lines and the victoria secret shoots that we were constantly being requested for, it was early April when I had my first thought of Edward since December, but that was due to a headline that caught my eye.
'Edward Cullen lead singer of 'April Showers'proposes to girlfriend Tanya Denali'
I would be lying if I said it didn't hurt a little because it did, but with these gossip rags you never knew what the truth was.
To be honest both Jasper and Edward were doing amazingly well in their careers, Edwards band had taken off and Jasper already had a self titled CD out, with combinations of slower and faster songs.
It was friday and Franchesca ordered me into her office, I had to go up a few floors in the huge building where the studio was but I found it easily enough.
"Isobelle! You ave no social life! all you do is work work work, tomorrow night you are going out with a friend of mine's son 'hoo is also and actor...he is very handsome and you will be gorgeous together, your outfit is in your dressing room, he will be at your apartment tomorrow night at seven thirty to pick you up...don't keep him waiting."
I was stunned as I collected the navy dress and silver stilettos from my dressing room, I was back in the apartment before I knew it and Rose along with Alice were practising how my hair and make-up would be the enxt day, I didn't even remember telling them...
Though Jasper was very silent through the enitre conversation, he said he hoped I would have fun
There was something in his eyes though, he looked worried and I could understand that, I hadn't been on a date since the whole Edward fiasco, he was worried about my heart getting broken again...
*J POV*
I was so worried that she was going to give her heart to this clown, she doesn't even know who he is yet and look at how excited she is!
I would have to up my game if I was going to protect her...Emmett would always be there to beat someone up, but I've known her since she was six, she puts on a strong front but she is fragile...
