Chapter 4

Party In Full Swing

It didn't take long for Jasper and I to set everything up for the party once I got home. We had decided earlier in the week to host yet another party. Granted it had been awhile since we personally threw one and I think the entire reason behind it was to cheer me up. Jasper knew I hated the media and always tried to find something for me to take my mind of it. Mostly Jasper did all the preparations, with my left leg in a walking cast and my right arm casted in a sling I couldn't do much more then watch. I would be glad that in two weeks I would finally have them off. Guests were to arrive soon so I decided that now was as good as time as any to take a shower and get ready myself since Jasper had all afternoon to.

"Jazz I'm going for a shower." He nodded finishing the stage for the DJ. I walked to the back of the apartment to a small hallway. To the right was Jasper's room with my room to the left. I opened the door to my room and headed off into the bathroom.

After finishing my "shower" which was a sponge bath and my head under a faucet to do my hair, I dried my self off. Grabbing my cane that leaned on the sink I hobbled over to my closet and pulled a pair of black pants and a button up short sleave black shirt. I tossed them onto the bed. I was going to leave my shirt half way unbuttoned. I didn't feel like fighting to do all of them with one hand. After the struggle of dressing and putting on my one sock and black shoe to finish off my outfit for the night, I returned to the bathroom to comb out my hair and put it up with some gel to the Edward Cullen hair style. It looked messy but yet every girl seemed to enjoy it. I left my sanctity of my bedroom and into the party that was now in full swing. I took a seat at the end of the couch that Jasper had pushed against the wall with the rest of the seating to make a lounge area. I waved over one of the waiters and ordered a drink. Not too soon after I had my drink people began to linger over to me. One of the girls who had sat down next to me spoke.

"Edward, hows the arm and leg doing?"

"Wonderful Tanya, I will be glad when I can shower again. I think Jasper is getting tired of being my nanny." I cocked a smile at her which made her laugh. I looked at her outfit for the first time. She wore a pink cocktail dress with matching stilettos, her strawberry blonde hair pulled back in a messy bun and her make-up done to match her pink ensemble. I didn't think a girl could wear so much pink in one outfit. It was a little to loud for my eyes so I looked away.

"I see you didn't lose your humor Edward." She placed a hand on my chest smiling. I gave her a friendly wink before finishing off my drink and ordering another one. I saw Jasper heading over to me with his girlfriend. The way he held onto her you could see the love between them shine. It opened a small hole in my chest. To the media I was the ladies man. Yes I normally was found in the company of a woman, but nothing I normally regretted later. I was a gentlemen under the man the media portrayed to the world. I wanted to settle down, get married but it seemed I would never really find that one woman that could make my life complete. My brothers had, Emmett had Rosalie and Jasper had Alice. Every party I went to or hosted I always hoped that maybe I'd find that one there, but after 4 years of looking I really had given up. Now most parties were just another night of being drunk and reckless.

Jasper reached me at the same time my drink arrived. Tanya keep her hand in place on my chest as I started drinking my next martini.

"Edward, Tanya, hows the party going so far for you two?" Tanya's eyes look to him and she answered.

"Wonderful, as always Jasper." She smiled looking at me again. I knew she had something for me but it seemed that every time I tried to tell her I wasn't interested she continued to force herself on me maybe in some attempt to persuade me to date her. Jasper eyed me and I shook my head. He was asking me if I finally cave but with a shake of my head I was telling him no. He smiled and took a seat across from me with Alice following and taking her place next to him.

"Alice my dear how have you been?" I asked trying to ignore Tanya.

"Good, I moved in with a medical student today. Her place is amazing, it's almost as good as this place." I chuckled.

"She must have a wealthy family to have a place as nice as this."

"Nope." I eyed her wondering if she was joking with me. She continued seeing my confused expression.

"She has a scholarship and so all the money she set aside for college pays for her place. You should come with Jasper sometime after I unpack to see it." She smiled but at Jasper. It was all to obvious what she implied with Jasper being there.

"I'll take you up on that offer." I finished off my drink and waved another one in. I was starting to feel the buzz of the alcohol. After arriving I took another drink.

"Alice, how is your career going?"

"Not as good as I would like it to be but it's just the beginning so I'm hoping everything will fall into place soon enough. I have a good feeling about it." I chuckled, her good feels normally were right on the money. I don't bet against Alice, not if I wanted to win. I finished off my drink and again requested another one.

"Edward, you need to slow down on those." Jasper said worried. I laughed.

"Don't worry Bro, we are home so I wont be driving anywhere tonight." A pained look crossed his face as he looked at my leg and arm. I shrugged , I learned my lesson and I wasn't going to drive drunk anytime soon. Everyone around me picked up conversations with each other. I continued with my new drink looking around room. Most were on the dance floor with the DJ blaring beats. Tanya kept her hand on me drawing circles on my chest. I sighed, maybe I would at least get something tonight to relax. She smiled at me and leaned in to my ear speaking.

"I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be right back handsome." I forced a fake smile and she stood up and left. I threw down the rest of my drink and got up grabbing my cane. Working my way around the room I reached the bar and took a seat on a stool at the end. The bartender walked over to me.

"Hey Eddie, nice party tonight how is it going for you?"

"Good as I can tell. Hey Kate can I have another martini." My words were became slurred, the alcohol was starting to really kick in. My head starting getting fuzzy as I laid my cane against the bar. She nodded and quickly made up my drink. I continued to drink as my buzz turned into disorientation. I knew that I was getting down right drunk. She set the drink in front of me and I took it, draining it with one drink.

"My dear Kate, I think I need another one." She shook her head but complied and made me another before attending to the other guests at the bar.
