BPV

Unfortunately I didn't beat the three of them home. I walked into the kitchen to find Tanya sipping a glass of red wine and playing with a piece of paper in-between her fingers with a huge grin on her face.

"Well well well…look who it is…mother's pissed at you…you know that your never supposed leave the house when we go out." Tanya said holding her glass up and taking another sip. She then eyed out my shopping bags.

"and you spent our money…on your self…selfish much!" Tanya scoffed.

"But I-" I started up.

"save it for someone who wants to listen. So the invitations came in…guess who got invited!" Tanya smiled shoving the small piece of paper in front of my face. I didn't get a good look though because she quickly took it away.

"and guess who didn't!" her grin grew even bigger as she took on a more sadistic tone. I felt disappointed…but I knew personal assistants wouldn't get invited.

"ooh I so cant wait to go dress shopping. Bella since you've been a little rebellious lately I've decided that your coming with me so I can keep an eye on you." Tanya said snidely. As if it couldn't get any worse….I was going to have to go dress shopping with Tanya. A complete and total nightmare. Flashbacks to Charlie's wedding and senior prom came into mind. Any opinion I gave was wrong .

Flashback

BPV

I was sitting in a dressing room waiting for Tanya to come out. We were picking out Tanya's prom dress. Irina was running around the department store like a mad woman and Kate was in another dressing room. Tanya stepped out in a dress that was extremely flattering to her figure…nice length, tight but not too tight.

"wow Tanya that looks really good on you!" I said.

"Oh my god…are you TRYING to make me look bad!….this things like practically falling off of me….and look it…the skirt covers up my entire leg!" Tanya said gesturing to the end of the dress which hit about mid thigh length. Tanya must have been going for the "less is more" look…as usual!.

"TAN TAN…I FOUND SOME MORE DRESSES FOR YOU!" Irina called running into the dressing room. I looked at her.

"what are you looking at…we already got your dress. Its waiting for you at home." Irina said.

"You got me a dress?" I asked shocked and touched.

"Don't get so excited…we got it from a thrift shop." Irina said bitchily.

"what do you think of this?" Tanya asked walking out and looking like she was a stuffed sausage.

"perfect honey…gives you boobs and an ass…absolutely stunning!" Irina said. Yeah it gave her boobs and an ass…and it looked like it'd rip when she sat down.

"Well its okay…but I thought I saw some others that looked really really nice." I said.

"No body asked YOU!" Tanya said pissed.

"Well I thought-" I started up.

"Well you thought wrong!" Tanya said.

"you don't know anything anyways…you were raised by a man!" Irina said. That sentence particularly stung because Charlie had just died not even two months before. How could she talk like that about her husband who had just died two months prior to this. I just looked down and didn't say anything.

"Now I want white flowers with tips that match the color of my dress…" she said gesturing to her dress which was skin colored and gave the awful illusion that Tanya was naked. The fact that the dress ended at the crotch area didn't help matters. This was by far…the worst dress that I had ever seen. ( Alice actually gagged when she saw it at the prom and said the designer should be shot…the actual line was "where'd she shop at…hookers r us? Whoever designed that should be shot!")

"ah…Bella will take care of all of that!" Irina said handing me her cellphone and a address book. Are you kidding me…I just planned my fathers funeral…and now I'm planning Tanya's prom…does this woman do anything?

"You fuck this up and you die…got it?" Tanya hissed walking back into the dressing room.

"OH KATE…YOU CANT WEAR THAT CAUSE TANYA IS…WEAR THIS!" Irina's voice called from across the dressing room. It must have been genetic. Tanya looked indignant. No one was going to steal her thunder.

"I look so hot!" Tanya was staring at herself in the mirror.

End of Flashback

Irina then walked into the room.

"Oh look who just came home…isn't it a little late?" Irina asked gesturing to the clock which read 9:15. Late…this coming from the woman who comes in at 1 in the morning some times!

"you know…your not supposed to leave the house when we go out…I thought we didn't have to remind you any more. Somebody could of broke in…stole all our stuff…and it would have been your fault." Irina said. I just shook my head. Like I could hold off a guy armed with an ak-47.

"I'm sorry…but I needed clothes!" I said.

"Oh please…you don't need clothes…didn't you go shopping last year?" Irina countered. Tanya laughed.

"Bella you know what I'm going to say…hand them over!" Irina said grabbing the bags out of my hands. I had a feeling that Irena was going to wind up wearing them herself.

"you know you deserve this…you know that you were bad." Irina said walking away.

"I told you mother was pissed…honestly Bella…we do everything for you…and you spit in our face!" Tanya huffed…and this was coming from the woman who actually spits in my face all day long?

"you know what…you disgust me…why don't you just scamper off and go clean something!" Tanya said in a degrading tone. I rolled my eyes and walked away. Frankly I couldn't believe all of this…but then again I could. Tanya was higher up in the company then I was so it would make sense that she would get invited. I just wished…well hoped really…that there was maybe a small chance…but who the hell was I kidding. Tanya was right…I was a nobody…I mean I lived in my step family's basement…and they took money from me to help pay the bills. Why would I be invited? I walked down stairs, flopped onto my mattress, and let the disappointment wash over me. This was my life and I was going to have to accept it. A mouse scurried across the floor in front of me. Like seriously…Irina wouldn't even lay out traps. The mouse stopped…looked at me…and ran away. I didn't scream or get scared by them any more…they were my roommates now…and they had a lot better personalities then my human room mates. I realized though…I couldn't wallow like this forever. So I pulled myself together, got up, and walked back upstairs. I still had dishes to do anyways. And despite living in this kind of this condition I still had really great friends in Alice and Edward and everyone and that meant more to me then anything. I filled the bucket with water, dumped some soap in, and went to the hamper to grab a towel which happened to be next Irina's room. I had reached in and grabbed a small lavender one when I heard what sounded like laughter from the bedroom.

"Hahaha she thinks that she would look good in this…Tan you would look so much better!" Irina said holding up the black pencil skirt.

"You don't have to tell me mother!" Tanya laughed. I felt tears well up in my eyes…Tanya was right…who was I kidding. I was plain, boring Bella. It was then that I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to find Kate shaking her head in disgust at them. She turned and silently put her head down while walking away. I was shocked as I watched her walk away. Maybe I had her pegged wrong. Come to think of it Kate had never been really malicious towards me and she was just as tied down to the psycho's as I was.

"and look at this one…it definitely be more figure flattering on you then her!" Tanya said as Irina placed one of my shirts on a hanger and put it in her closet. They were basically stealing my clothes …how fucked up was that? Well I knew that was going to happen. I went back to doing the dishes.

"BELLA…GET OVER HERE GOD DAMN IT!" Tanya called.

"Your wish is my command!" I whispered walking over.

"I need to order my shoes…I need Alice's number…I know you have it." Tanya demanded.

"Why…you don't even have a dress yet…you don't even know what color your wearing?" I asked.

"I know what color I'm wearing…I'm wearing white…it makes me look pure" Tanya said turning her ass towards the mirror and staring at it. Oh god…I could only imagine what she had in mind. Alice was going to hate me but if I didn't do it I probably wouldn't be able to take a shower in the morning. I sighed, wrote down the number, and handed it to her.

"Well why are you just standing around here…go…shoo!" Tanya dismissed me while grabbing her cell phone. I just returned to the sink. It was better just to do what she said.

"BELLA…GET ME POPCORN…AND NOT THE SMART FOOD…NOT THE ONE IN THE MICROWAVE…THE ONE THAT YOU POP OVER THE STOVE…OH AND SODA TOO…IT BETTER BE COKE…IN A GLASS…WITH THREE CUBES OF ICE…I'LL KNOW OTHERWISE!…GET YOUR ASS IN GEAR AND MOVE IT!" Irina shouted. Like they say…like mother like daughter. I headed to the closet and got everything I needed. Irina was in the living room watching "How to loose a guy in 10 days" not that she needed advice from that…I'd be shocked if she could keep a guy for ten days…it was a miracle that my dad lasted with her for as long as he did.

"Here you go." I said giving everything to her.

"Oh and I want one of the Hershey bars from the cupboard…not the Almond …you know the one with the little chunks of those things that come from trees." Irina said as if I were a five year old. What the fuck…did I have a sign on my forehead that said "vending machine" or something. And I knew what the fuck an almond was.

"okay." I nodded heading off . I was standing on top of the step stool getting dearest step mommy her chocolate bar when Tanya walked in and "accidentally" on purpose knocked the step stool out from under my feet. I fell flat on my back. There was a dull ache in the back of my head. I could already tell that I was going to have a bump.

"You shouldn't of placed that where people are walking!" Tanya laughed walking away and not even apologizing. I grabbed Irina's chocolate bar and gave it to her before grabbing some ice to put on the back of my head. Then I headed back down stairs, put my pj's on and waited for the pain to subside so I could go to sleep.

I had that same dream about Edward again. The same feeling of protection and love washed over me. Even if this was as close as I could get to a relationship with him I would take it. Our lips were about to touch…

"HA…like he'd ever even think about dating you!" Tanya's voice cut through my dreams. I awoke to find Tanya standing at the end of my bed with a sleep mask on top of her head and another very expensive night gown on.

"What are you doing here Tanya?" I yawned.

"I head you talking all the way from my bed room!" Tanya said snidely. Considering how many times I've had this dream and this was the first time I woke up to find Tanya here I highly doubted this. More like Tanya probably heard it while passing the basement door and decided to eavesdrop.

"Time to wakey wakey anyways lazy bones…mother wants breakfast." Tanya said ripping my blanket off of me and dragging me out of bed. She then floated upstairs like a ghost. By the time my foot reached the last step I could hear the shower turn on. Irena was already sitting at the table shooting daggers at me.

"Bout time your lazy ass woke up…I'm starving!" Irina said. I looked at the clock…what the fuck was she talking about …lazy…it was only 5:45 in the morning! I prepared her usual veggie omelet. As I did so my eyes inadvertently flickered towards the shower area.

"Don't even think about it Bella…your still banned from the bathroom…you want to treat your only family like shit…then this is what you get." Irina hissed. I Rolled my eyes and finished with my routine before getting into my car and going over to Alice's yet again.
