Enjoy!

I Started Screaming.

The lights flicked on. "

Geez, Bella who taught you how to scream so loudly?" That Voice I recognized that voice!

As my eyes adjusted to the new found light, I saw my attacker very clearly.

Emmett!

I tried to form his name, but it wouldn't come out as planned. It'd ended up sounding like I was choking on a hairball. I then tried to tell him I was a human and I needed to breath, but that too wasn't working out so well.

"Emmett will you please let my best friend breathe?" Alice said sounding annoyed.

"Sorry Bella, my bad" Emmett smiled sheepishly as he set me down. I sighed gratefully. I looked over to Alice and smiled.

"Thanks Alice I owe…" I trailed off; feeling like a complete idiot I finally realized that Emmett and Alice were actually here.

"ALICE!" I screamed at the top of my lungs and charged at her. She caught me in her arms and I hugged her with all my feeble human strength.

"Oh. Okay I can see you don't love me anymore. I'll just be on my way, sorry to bother you Bella." Emmett started walking away at a sluggish 'human' pace.

"Same old silly Emmett!" I exclaimed running over and jumping on his back. His Booming laughter filled the room, and I finally felt like I had gotten a piece of my heart back even after it shattered. After a few 'oh-my-gosh-we've-missed-you-so-much' minutes we finally settled down in my living room.

Emmett was occupying my recliner and Alice was bouncing on the couch besides me. I could tell she wanted to ask me about every single detail of my life now, but I decided to mess with her and not prompt her to fire away.

After about 2.5 minutes she started glaring at me. "Bella." Alice said in warning. I choked back a giggle. Alice noticed and cut her eyes at me.

"So Alice how's life?" I said trying to speak normally but failing horribly.

I sounded like I was a laughing, choking cow. She looked absolutely annoyed until she got an evil glint in her eyes. Uh-oh.

"'tSeenYouInFourYears&You'reAlreadyBeingMeanToMeIfICouldCryIWould!" She said all in one breath.

She also actually looked like she was going to cry. But, I knew this evil little pixie she was just messing with me. She seemed to know I was on to her because she smirked at me and burst into a dry sob fest. After five minutes I finally had enough.

I looked to Emmett for some help but he looked like he was having enough trouble with not bursting into hysterics. I mentally growled. Could I ever win with Alice?

"FINE!" I yelled frustrated.

So fast I almost didn't catch it, her expression went from 'crying child' to 'joyful baby'.

"SPILLLLLLL!" she yelled in my ear.

After being death for about a minute I asked.

"Er, so what do you two want to know?" I ended up spending the rest of the afternoon with Alice and Emmett.

Time just seemed to fly by with them; I really did miss them a lot. At the moment we were still playing the Ask-Bella-questions-which-she-has-to-answer-no-exceptions game. As Alice would call it. I was surprised at first because Emmett also asked a lot of questions. But his weren't as pressing as Alice's.

The questions he asked were more along the lines of 'Ooooh Belley Has a boyfriend' typical Emmett. While Alice's were more along the lines of 'Wow Bella, was he you know good?' and then she'd wiggle her eyebrows at me as Emmett said 'ew' like a two-year-old. Now they were asking easier questions about work and such.

"So Bella how's Charlie?" Alice asked.

"He's fine; still police chief in forks."

"Forks, god that place was boring! They never had enough grizzlies for me." Emmett pouted like a toddler.

"Ah, yes god forbid there isn't a large population of irritated grizzlies in forks." I rolled my eyes, my eyes ended up lingering on the clock when I was done. It was 7:30pm; I had to get ready to go out with Becky. I looked back towards Alice and Emmett ready to tell them that I was sorry but I had plans, when I noticed Alice's eyes had glazed over. It's been so long since I've seen her like that but I still recognized her 'vision' face. When her eyes went back to normal and an evil smirk formed on her face; I got worried.

"Bella.."

Whatever she was about to say was interrupted by my cell phone ringing. I was eternally grateful. I had changed my ring tone (finally) so now my phone was playing 'going under' by evanescence.

Now I will tell you what I've done for youFifty thousand tears I've criedScreaming, deceiving and bleeding for youAnd you still won't hear me, going underDon't want your hand this time, I'll save myselfMaybe I'll wake up for onceNot tormented daily, defeated by youJust when I thought, I reached the bottomI'm dying again, I'm going underDrowning in you, I'm falling foreverI've got to break through, I'm going under

I quickly picked up my phone without looking at the caller id.

"Hello." I said.

"Hey Bell's!" Typical Rebecca; always a bouncing ball of energy.

"Hey Becky, What's Up?"

"Nothing Much. I just wanted to tell you that I'm coming over to help you get ready." I could tell she was beaming.

"No Beck, I'm perfectly capable of dressing myself!"

"Nope." She popped the 'p'. " You're not getting out of this Bella. I'm coming up your driveway as we speak." She hung up.

I groaned and turned towards Emmett and Alice. Emmett once again looked like he was trying to hold back laughter and Alice looked annoyed but somewhat excited? I'm guessing the volume was loud enough for their sensitive hearing.

"Uh…." I was at a lost for words, Becky was going to be here any second & quite frankly Alice was scaring me.

"Boy I feel bad for you Bella." Emmett gave me a pity face.

"Er..Why would you feel bad for me Emmett?" I was confused.

"Well, because that 'Becky' girl is coming here to 'play dress up Bella' and because I think Alice is somewhat jealous of her. You two seem pretty close. I don't think Alice appreciates someone stealing her best friend. Also because I think Alice kind of likes this girl at the same time to think she actually plays 'dress up Bella' and doesn't let you wear whatever you think is comfortable. I also think that Alice is scheming to help this 'Becky' person play 'dress up Bella'." Emmett explained in a 'duh' tone.

I gawked at him for a moment before turning towards Alice.

"He's way off, right Ali?" She just continued to stare at me with that wicked smirk.I actually had to suppress a shiver. Just then my door burst open and in popped the evil midget.

"Hey bells!" she looked around and seemed surprised. "Oh, you have guest? Why didn't you mention it on the phone? I would've given you another half-hour or so before I would've came over.

"Wow, a whole half-hour! Before I could say something sarcastic to my midget of a best friend well 1st/2nd best friend, the evil pixie beat me to the punch.

"Bella here, didn't say anything to you because it was a surprise right Bella?"

Damn pixie!

"Uh..Er..Um..I."

"Wow, don't over work your brain Bella." Emmett's booming voice echoed in my house.I saw Becky eyeing him appreciatively. I cleared my throat.

"Shut up Emmett." I paused to whack him on his head. " Becky meet Alice and Emmett Cullen." I gestured to the Cullen's. "Alice, Emmett Meet Rebecca Thomas." I gestured to Becky.

They all exchanged a few happy greetings. I could already tell Becky & Alice would get along fine. So Would Emmett. I think Becky actually has a crush on him, I should warn her about Rosalie. Alice pulled me out of my thoughts.

"So Bella, where are you guys heading tonight?" She had a innocent expression on, a little too innocent. I gave her a knowing look and replied.

"We're going out." I wasn't trying to be specific.

"Yeah. We're going to the hottest club around its called 'Midnight Sun'." Damn you Becky!

Alice smiled a triumphant smile and glanced at Emmett. Almost as if they rehearsed it Emmett started talking.

"Hey bell's that's great! Do you think the rest of the family could tag along we all have to catch up." I was suspicious of this not only because it felt like I was in movie-watching actors but also because I could swear Emmett was reading off his hand. (- A.N sorry I could just picture Emmett doing that in my head [= -)

I glared at the two of them and they just smiled back sheepishly. Becky glanced at me and I gave her a little shrug. She apologized with her eyes. I know she caught the part about the whole family. (A.N besides Carlisle & Esme of course.)

"Sure. But Its Getting late and we should leave by nine. I have to get Bella ready." Becky smiled sincerely at the Cullen's while speaking; I could tell she liked them. (A.N key word 'them'.) At this Alice perked up.

"Oh! Can I help? Please! I use to always dress Bella up when we lived back in uh…forks." She hesitated towards the end of her sentence. It was Becky's turn to get an evil glint in her eyes and smirk at me. Causing Emmett to laugh his head off again and Alice to bounce with excitement. I groaned.

"No you guys I can handle it! Please! Let me just do it my way!"

I was on the point of begging. Just one of them was horrible but both? It had 'disaster for Bella' written all over it.

Suddenly they both started smiling and coming at me as if they were being pulled by a electric force. Pure reflex made me start to back away slowly. They were going to get their way and I knew it. Damn pixie and midget.

Emmett was still enjoying the scene before him trying to hold in his laughter. After a few minutes of terrifying silence (maybe just for me since the evil 'sisters' were still coming at me and I was still retreating,) Emmett finally spoke up.

"Well Alice if you're staying here to torture Bella, then I should get back to the house and tell the other's of our plans." I was pleading Emmett with my eyes by the time he was finished. He just mouthed 'sorry bells' and walked out my front door.

Shit man, I'm so screwed. They were still advancing on me and at this point I was back up against a wall. I decided I had no chance but to put up the white flag.

"Okay, okay! You guys can play 'dress up Bella', just please don't put anything too revealing on. Promise?"

"DEAL!" They both squealed at the same time, then grinned at each other. Oh yes. They were going to get along just fine.

"Crazy midget, crazy pixie." I muttered. They stopped grinning at each other and shot me identical deathly glares.

"Sorry." I mumbled. They smirked and dragged me up to my room. Where the torture would begin.

One long hour later….

I was showered, dressed, and in total 'Bella Barbie' mode. The two 'evil sisters' (which I decided to call them,) had dressed me in this black dress that fit my curves perfectly, and it was at least 4 inches above my knees.(A.N-pic on profile.) It actually was kind of cute. Even though I still hated being dressed up. I wasn't as self-conscious as I used to be when I was younger. My hair was in my natural waves and I had smoky eye make-up with mascara, blush and clear lip gloss that tasted like cherries. I had to admit even as reluctant as I was to say it, Alice and Becky did a pretty good job. I think this was a bonding experience for them, they really hit it off. I was now slipping into my dangerously high Platinum pumps. They were suppose to 'make my legs look longer'.

"Ugh." I was now waiting for Becky; she went back home to get ready. Alice said that the she and the family would meet us at the club. Before I could even start worrying about all the things that could go wrong tonight considering the circumstances, Becky was ringing the doorbell. I hurried as fast as I could without falling and open the door.

Becky looked gorgeous! She was wearing a strapless dress with sequins covering the top half. It fitted her small frame perfectly. Her hair was straightened and her make-up was similar to mine and we were wearing matching pumps but her's were black.

"Becky you look great!" I raised my eyebrows and winked at her.

"You look good yourself hot stuff." She winked back. I laughed.

"So are u ready to do this?" Becky could tell when I was nervous.

"I'm fine. I just think it might be a little awkward with him." which reminded me I never told Becky about the run-in with him today.

"It wont be that bad I'm sure." Becky didn't even seem the least bit convincing.

"Yeah it will beck. But hey c'mon we're going to be late, I got loads of stuff to tell you."

I grabbed my black clutch, which held my phone, keys and lip-gloss & headed towards my car telling Becky about my earlier encounter with Edward. By the time we got to midnight sun the place was already packed. I sighed and turned to Becky.

"Are you positive you want to do this Bella? We could always cancel."

"No Becky its fine he's moved on. I've moved on with my life also, there's no reason we can't at least attempt to be friends."

"Okay." She mumbled and we both exited my car, we made our way across the lot and up to the bouncer he let us in no problem. Once inside of the club, the music was blasted at top volume. I hooked arms with Becky so we wouldn't get lost. Together we scanned the room for any sign of the Cullen's. I spotted them in a big booth near the bar. With one last meaningful look at each other we walked off in their direction.

"BELLA!" I heard Alice's scream over the music, before I knew it she was hugging me.

"Hey Ali." I laughed. When she finally let go I got a good look at her outfit. Her hair was in its usual spiky fashion and she was wearing a short blood red (A.N hehe get it 'blood' & 'vampires' ha-ha I'm so funny!)dress that had a sagging neckline and fit her perfectly.

"You look nice Alice!" she beamed, and looked me over.

"So do you Bell's, man those humans are going to be all over you." she giggled and winked. I blushed and looked away. Jasper came into my view. I should've known better but I through my arms around him. He stiffened but then relaxed into my hug. He must still have a few problems with being so close to humans.

"Sorry, I forgot." I whispered knowing he'd hear me. He patted my back and whispered back.

"It's fine. It's great to see you." He pulled away and twirled me around.

"You look nice this evening." Once again I blushed.

"Thanks Jasper." He smiled and went off to stand besides Alice and Becky. When I turned around I was pulled into a bone-crushing hug.

"EMMETT!" I screamed irritated.

"Sorry." He smiled sheepishly at me then towards Alice. (She was now standing besides me with Becky on the other side of her.) Alice must've seen the confusion on my face.

"He was going to wrinkle your dress Bella." She explained while she continued glaring at Emmett. Then I felt a light timid tap on my shoulder, I turned to see Rosalie. She looked as perfect as always. She was wearing one of those its-too-short-to-be-a-dress-but-too-long-to-be-a-sweater 'dresses' in purple with a black oversized belt and matching heels, with her hair down. She looked amazing. All I could do was gawk at her, and I'm sure I looked like a idiot.

"Hi Bella." Rosalie seemed nervous. You got to be kidding me, is this a alternate universe?

"Um..Hi Rosalie." I smiled to make her feel a little more comfortable. Then out of nowhere Rosalie pulled me into a cautious yet loving hug. What was this? Didn't Rosalie hate me?

"I'm so sorry Bella" Rosalie whispered into my ear. I was patting her back awkwardly.

"For what?" she had nothing to be sorry about.

"For being so mean to you, you must hate me. And for that jerk leaving you." What jerk? Did she mean Edward?

"Oh rose, it doesn't matter that was the past. I never hated you anyway I figured you had your reasons to dislike me. And as for Edward, you had no say in that."

"Well I'm sorry anyway. But I just want to make sure. And Bella I really want to try to be friends this time around." She pulled back and looked my in the eyes. I smiled.

"Sure Rose I'd like that." She grinned.

"Thanks so much! I promise Bella I'll be good. By the way you look great."

"Thanks, you look awesome yourself." I noticed a movement out of the corner of my eye. It was Becky I forgot she was here.

"Oh, hey Rose this is my best friend Rebecca, Becky this is Emmett's Girlfriend Rosalie." I could tell Becky was disappointed, she kind of had a thing for Emmett I know it. I couldn't help but notice Rose kind of looked smug too.

After a few minutes of mingling with Alice, Jasper, Becky, Emmett and Rose two other people approached our booth/area. I looked up to see Edward and Tanya coming towards us.

"Hey guys." Edward greeted us.

"Hi." Tanya said in her 'nasally' voice. Edward then turned his attention to Becky and I.

"Good to see you two again." He smiled, Becky seemed dazzled and I had to force back a humorless laugh.

"You too." Becky replied and grinned.

"Hello Edward." I said and smiled.

"Hello Bella." He smiled his crooked smile towards me and I could've sworn Tanya growled. If she had then Edward paid her no mind, but I heard Rose and Alice growling very softly also.

"Bella, Rebecca this is Tanya." He gestured to her. "Tanya this is Bella and Rebecca." He gestured to us.

"Pleasure to meet you." Tanya smiled and shook our hands. Something about her smile made my stomach lurch.

"Likewise" Becky & I said at the same time. Big clue that we both didn't like her. She didn't seem phased. I'm guessing Edward read Becky's thoughts (which I'm sure were all mean things about Tanya) because he had a worried look on his face. I finally took notice of my surroundings and realized Tanya was wearing a really short pink dress. It barely covered her ass. She showed way too much cleavage and she piled makeup on by the tons. Even though she was a vampire, which frankly didn't make sense to me because she was already pretty. She basically looked like a whore.

What did Edward see in her?'Stop it Bella.' I told myself. He doesn't want you, he doesn't love you anymore remember. If he wants Tanya then fine. Just because he doesn't love you and he loves her doesn't mean you could hate her like that. She actually might be really nice. I can't let this jealousy get to me like this. It's just pathetic. He's moved on and so have I. Point blank. It doesn't mean we can't still be friends though.

Jasper, Alice, Emmett and Rosalie telling us that they were going to go dance for a while pulled me out of my thoughts. Leaving Becky, Edward, Tanya and I sitting at the table alone. This was going to be interesting.

About twenty minutes later…Tanya was still flinging questions at me left and right. I know she was doing it purposely to make it look like she was trying to get along with me, but the way her gaze fell upon me still made me suppress a shiver.

"So Belllla, (she made my name drown on) what about your relationships? Are you with anyone now?" her eyes were wide with uncontained interest I knew she wanted to annoy me.

I looked around the table to see Becky glaring at her like she wanted to deck her, and Edward was staring at me curiosity and hurt evident in his eyes. Hurt? Why did was he hurt? I then realized they were waiting for my answer.

"Oh. No not at the moment but there has been a couple guys. None of them were…right." I couldn't help but sneak a look at Edward, he was staring right back at me with hurt and…jealousy in his eyes? Just as fast as it appeared it was gone. A mask placed in front of it.

"Oh, do go on. Who was your favorite?" Tanya asked. I decided to play along with her game. If Edward really were jealous then I'd find out.

"Okay. Okay. Well my friend Jacob, he lived in la push while I lived in forks. He was my boyfriend for about a year and a half. He was the only one that actually felt almost right. And oh, boy was he hot."

"Oh my Gosh!" Tanya squealed. "Yeah. I know. I mean he was awesome."

"Hmm. Awesome? You mean like good in bed awesome?" Tanya asked. Man, she was enjoying this."Well-." Edward cut me off.

"Um…Girls would you like any drinks from the bar?" He looked nervous and slightly agitated.

"Sure." Becky finally spoke up.

"Eddie-Poo." She pouted. "You interrupted Bella's story!"

"No it's fine. I have to go to the ladies room anyway. I'll meet you guys at the bar." I smiled and started making my way to the bathroom.

"Oh, Bella wait!" I heard Tanya's nasally voice approaching behind me. I turned and waited for her to catch up.

"Yes?" I asked.

"I thought I'd join you." she smiled and again it seemed devious. She hooked arms with me and we made our way to the restroom. Once inside I unhooked our arms and went to stand in front of the huge mirror. She followed. I was fixing up my lip-gloss when she decided to talk.

"So you still love Edward huh?" I froze.

"N-no what would make you think that?" I always was a bad liar. Ugh!

She was very casually fixing her hair, but her voice was laced with venom.

"Don't try to lie to me. I see how you look at him. How your eyes sparkle and you get dazed when he smiles at you." She spat at me. I was utterly speechless.

"You should get over yourself Isabella you're just a human. What he had with you was a meaningless infatuation. Edward loves me and only me, I don't expect you to get in the way of that." We were now facing each other and I was furious, as was she.

"You know what Tanya I really don't care. I wasn't planning on stealing Edward away from you. He wants you. He left me for you. Why? I actually have no idea. Apparently he doesn't have good taste." I looked her up and down. "Now-a-days it looks like all he's picking up is whores with cheap makeup." I finished off with a smile. She snarled at me and looked like she was about to lunge at me when the door opened.

In stepped Rosalie and Alice looking absolutely lethal." Get away from her." Rosalie growled. Alice just stood silent but that only made her look even more menacing. Tanya seeing she was out numbered growled at me one more time.

"You better not say ANYTHING to Edward about this." She hissed and stormed out the restroom.

Rosalie rushed to my side making sure I was okay. But I was focused on Alice. She was still glaring at the door where Tanya had just retreated.

"Alice?" I called to her. She snapped out of her trance and came over to me.

"Are you okay? She asked her voice tight with worry.

"Yes. Are you?" "Yeah. I just always wanted to hit her, you almost gave me my chance." She flashed a smile and looked back to normal.

"Oh. Well thanks, both of you I smiled at Alice then Rosalie."

"No problem bells." Rosalie smiled and then hooked arms with me. While Alice hooked on to the other.

"We should get back." They agreed and we made our way to the bar. Tanya and Edward were sitting at the bar sharing a drink while Becky was talking to the bartender. Emmett and jasper were talking nearby.

Alice and Rosalie went to go dance with their mates again. So I sat next to Becky.

"Hey, what happened?"

"I'll tell you later." I muttered. We sat and had a conversation for a while.

Random guys kept coming up and asking either Becky or I if they could buy us drinks or they'd ask us to dance but they were all creeps with weird pickup lines.

Then a cute guy came up and asked Becky to dance. Her eyes pleaded with me and I let her go. Why shouldn't she have fun? Just because the love of my life was sitting besides me with another girl didn't mean I had to ruin her night too. There was a tap on my shoulder and I turned around. A really cute guy with black hair and brown eyes was standing there. I smiled at him.

"Um hi I'm Nathaniel Collins. I prefer Nathan." He smiled at me. Man, he was gorgeous. If I didn't know better I would've sworn he was a vampire.

"Err. Hi I'm Isabella swan but I prefer Bella." I smiled back at him and shook his sat on the barstool besides me.

"So, Bella Would you give me the honor of buying you a drink." He was eyeing my coca-cola.

"No thanks. I'm not really a big fan of alcohol, and I still have plenty of soda." I gave him an apologetic smiled back.

"Well would you give me the honor of dancing with you?"

I took dancing classes for the past two years so I was better at it. I was considering it when I heard Tanya's nasally laugh. What the hell, I figured I might as well have fun.

"Sure." He took my hand and started to lead me past Edward and Tanya.

"Bella." Edward said. Nathan and I both turned to look at him. Edward raised a brow at Nathan and then turned back to me.

"Who's this?" he asked. I didn't like his tone. He was making it sound like I was his girlfriend walking off with another guy.

"This is my friend Nathan. Nathan this is my good friend Edward and his girlfriend Tanya." They exchanged awkward hello's followed by an awkward silence.

Edward and Nathan were eyeing each other & Tanya was glaring at me like she wanted to scratch my eyes out.

"Uh… We're going to go dance now." I started to drag Nathan along when I heard Tanya talking.

"Eddie-Poo I want to dance too!" Did she ever stop whining? When I turned to look in their direction they were following us to the dance floor. Nathan led me to the far corner and we started dancing to the slow song that was playing. We danced for a while.

"So it seems like your friend has a thing for you."

"Who? Edward? No. It's not like that. He's with Tanya." Nathan just watched me for a minute.

"Bella, I know its personal to ask because I hardly know you but have you and Edward ever been together? As boyfriend/girlfriend I mean." Was it really that obvious?
