Bella POV

I had to drag myself out of bed. I felt so weak and tired. Half asleep I stumbled to the bathroom. The steam in the shower helped me feel a little more refreshed.

As I stepped out of the shower I spotted my reflection in the mirror and stopped to inspect the damage. I turned slightly and noticed a bruise the size of a golf ball resting on my neck. I touched it lightly and winced. I spotted several older bruises on my arms and legs that hadn't completely healed yet.

I quickly changed, trying to cover up the bruises as best I could. I didn't want anyone at school asking about them. I trotted downstairs to find my dad at the table. He sat with his back to me as he ate a bowl of cereal and read the paper.

I stepped into the room, making myself known. "Oh. Hey Bells." said Charlie through a mouthful of food. "Hey, dad. Where's mom?" I asked. It was unusual for her not to want to wish me a good day. "She just ran to the store really quick." he answered as he started intensely at the headlines.

I finished off my cereal and grabbed my bag as I headed out the door. With my hand on the handle, I froze. "Oh. Dad?" I asked. "Yeah?" he questioned as he looked up at me from the paper. "Can I go shopping with my friend, Alice, after school today?" I asked. "Sure." he replied with a smile. "Ok. Thanks." I answered as I stepped out the door. "Have a good day!" I faintly heard him yell.

I made it to school today without any accidents. I thought as I pulled into the parking lot.

After finding a spot, I stepped out of the car to see Alice standing next to me. She appeared out of nowhere. I jumped. "You scared me!" I exclaimed. "Can you come shopping?" she questioned, completely ignoring my statement. "Yeah, my dad said I could go." I answered. "Yay!" she squealed. She started jumping up and down, and clapping her hands.

"Come on! Lets go tell Rosalie!" she exclaimed as she grabbed my wrist. I hissed as pain shot through my arm. "Bella?" Alice questioned, finally calming down. "What's wrong?" she asked as she stepped over towards me. "Nothing." I replied, trying to get her to forget about it.

"No. Its not nothing." she said sternly. "Let me see your wrist." she said as she had a death glare on her face. I sighed and pulled up my sleeve. "Oh my god. Bella! What happened?" she asked, shocked. "I'm just a klutz, Alice. I probably tripped." I said as I looked down to my wrist. It was engulfed by a large purple and black circle. "Are you sure its not broken?" Alice asked, really concerned. "Yeah. I just bruise really easily." I replied.

I heard footsteps and I quickly pulled down my sleeve before looking up. Edward was walking towards us. He looked gorgeous in the dark blue button up he was wearing. "Geez, Bella. Stop drooling." Alice whispered to me. I turned to her with my eyes wide. She can't know I like him. I thought.

Alice gave me a little grin before I heard his angelic voice. "Hello Bella, Alice." I turned to see him standing in front of me. I felt my heart skip a couple of beats. "Guess what? Bella can go shopping with us!" Alice exclaimed.

He started chuckling at Alice's over-excitement. Then I heard the bell ring and Alice and I walked towards our first class.

………………………………........

The day passed quickly and before I knew it, we were driving down the road in a bright yellow porche. "Wow, Alice. How could you afford this?" I asked truly shocked. The cool black leather interior was soft as I leaned my head back into the comfortably cushioned seat.

"Well my dad makes pretty good money at his job and Rosalie and Edward are pretty big car fans. So, we have quite a large selection." she said with a smile.

"Wow." I whispered as I felt myself starting to drift to sleep.

"Bella, get up!" I heard Alice whine. I opened my eyes to see that we were in the parking lot of the mall. I rubbed my eyes and stepped out of the car. "Sorry Alice, I guess I was just really tired. "It's ok. Lets go!" she said as she started skipping towards the stores.

………………………………............

Five hours later, we were finally finished. Now I know what Emmett meant about Alice being obsessed with shopping. She never wanted to stop. I almost had to drag her out of the store!

The drive home was quiet. Before I knew it we were in front of my house. "Thanks Alice. That was fun." I said. I stepped out of the car and before I had time to close the door Alice put her hand out. "Wait! Don't forget your stuff!" she said happily as she handed me two bags full of new clothes. "Alice I don't need you buying clothes for me. When did you even grab these?" I said as I glanced down at the bags.

"You have to take them because they won't fit me." she stuck her tongue out at me. "Very mature Alice." I replied. "Oh. Bella! You should wear the outfit in the blue bag on Saturday." she said with a wink before she shut the door and drove away.

I quickly climbed the steps and opened the door. My mother immediately rushed over to me and pulled me into a tight hug. She seemed very panicked as she said, "Where were you?" "I was shopping with Alice, my friend." I answered. "Don't you think you should've asked first?" she said in a stern voice. "I did. I asked dad this morning." I answered. "Oh." she said as her eyebrows furrowed and she started marching towards the living room. Sorry dad. I thought. I felt bad for throwing him under the bus like that.

I quickly hopped up the stairs into my room and dumped the contents of the bags onto my bed. I picked up the items that came out of the blue bag and laid them out. There is no way I am wearing that. I thought. I glared at the clothes for several minutes before tossing them into the corner of my room.

………………………………..........

Thursday and Friday passed very quickly. I woke up on Saturday feeling very nervous and excited. I felt butterflies in my stomach at the thought of seeing Edward again.

After taking my shower and eating breakfast I traveled upstairs to get changed. Right before I was about to open my closet I heard the phone ring. I rushed to pick it up. "Hello?" I asked. "Hey Bella. It's Alice. I was going to come pick you up since I don't think you know where we live." "Ok, I will see you soon then." I replied. "Ok bye." "Bye" I answered before hanging up.

I walked back towards my closet. I snuck a glance at the blue bag before pulling out a pair of jeans and a long sleeve shirt. I quickly changed before running downstairs.

As soon as I reached the bottom, the doorbell rang. I trotted over and opened it. Alice stood there with a look of disgust and hurt on her face. "Bella!" she whined. "I told you to wear what was in the blue bag." "Alice, I can't wear that." I pleaded but she would listen. "And why not? Now come on. You are going to wear it." she said in a stern voice that meant the argument was over.

She pulled me up the stairs and into my room. She shut the door before grabbing the blue bag and throwing it at me. She stood in front of my door with her arms crossed. I quickly pulled the small garment out of the bag and put it on. Alice pulled me in front of the mirror. "Now why didn't you want to wear that? It looks cute." she said.

"Alice, I'm going to freeze." I said as I stared at my reflection. I was wearing a small blue summer dress with lace around my middle and a small off-white pair of flats. (Pic on profile) "Well you won't be cold once you get inside." she said before skipping down the stairs. I grabbed my jacket and followed her.

After driving down the road a ways, we pulled into the forest where the silver car came out of the other day. The ride was short and we were soon at the Cullen house. The large two story mansion stood hiding in the middle of the forest. It looked beautiful.

We quickly walked up to the door and Alice opened it. Six people stood as we walked in. "Bella, this is Carlisle and Esme, our mom and dad." Alice said motioning to two people standing off to the side.

I gasped when I recognized the man with the blonde hair. "Dr. Cullen?" I questioned in disbelief.

Ok. Well i hope you liked it. Tell me what you think!

I get to go see the twilight movie tomorrow! I'm so excited! i hope its good:)
