Okay I decided to give you this chapter today. It's a nice happy chapter since the next chapter is definitely not. I hope you enjoy it.

I had a photo shoot with Seventeen to do before we left Chicago. Since I had this in the middle of the day we had decided long ago that we were going to spend three days in the windy city. At the time it seemed like a good idea, now all I wanted to do was hightail it out of here and never come back.

Unfortunately my wish wasn't going to come true as Angela knocked on my door at nine the next morning.

"Bella you need to wake up we have to be at the shoot by ten."

"Alright I'm coming." I wandered around my room trying to find my jeans mumbling some choice words under my breath. I flung the door opened and walked over to Angela's car finding her and Aro already waiting for me.

"What's the matter Bella you look like you have just been drug through the pits of Hell."

Well I'll say that's a pretty accurate statement.

"I'm fine I just haven't gotten my caffeine fix for the morning." I offered up a weak smile and hopped into the backseat of the car.

The shoot for Seventeen did not help my mood at all. Once we arrived, their hair and makeup stylist Jessica came swooping down and started walking around me in a circle clicking her tongue.

"Well I certainly have a lot to deal with here. We're going to have to use a lot of makeup," She carefully inspected my face no doubt taking in my red and puffy eyes from last night. "Especially around the eyes."

She kept me in the makeup chair for almost an hour and half longer than planned so by the time I reached the photographer he started mumbling things about these "rich and arrogant celebrities always making other people wait on them."

He practically threw me into a chair and started snapping pictures before I was even ready. I can't wait to see how these pictures are going to turn out. Note to self don't buy a seventeen magazine next month.

When he was done snapping pictures I was herded through a pair of double doors to where one of their reporters was waiting. She introduced herself as Jennifer Klein and immediately started firing off questions. She had lunch delivered to the room and I had one of the best cups of clam chowder I have ever tasted. Well maybe this day isn't to bad. After answering questions about my love life and what the band plans to do next I was finally released to go home. I stumbled back to the car and collapsed into the front seat.

"God the boys are so lucky. Every time they do a photo shoot it takes them half as long as this." I vented to Aro and Angela.

"Yeah but the boys don't even look half as pretty as you at the end." Aro elongated the pretty and batted his lashes at me.

I glared at him. "Someday Aro, someday your going to get it."

"Looking forward to it Bella."

When we got back to our bus I walked in and was surprised to see Carlisle sitting at our little dinette table. He looked up when I walked in and gave me a wide smile.

"Hey Bella how did the shoot go?"

"Not bad if you take away the annoying makeup girl, the pmsing photographer and the way to intrusive reporter. So basically if you just took the whole shoot away."

Carlisle let out a deep laugh, "Don't worry Bella you'll get used to it."

"Yeah thats what you said after the first twenty interviews." I grabbed a coke out of the fridge and took the seat across from him.

"Where are the guys?"

"I believe they said they were heading into downtown to take in some sights."

I raised an eyebrow at him, " Without a bodyguard, Aro was with me."

He laughed again, "Do you honestly think I would risk their safety Bella? I sent them with one of New Moon's bodyguards."

"Oh okay then, so what brings you here?"

"Well once the guys get back I want go over the recording schedule for your second album. I was thinking after your tour you guys could take two weeks off then start recording again."

I took a deep swig of my coke while I thought it over. "Well that doesn't sound bad, it would be nice to go back to Forks again."

"Have you guys started writing any new songs yet?"

"Well we've been pretty busy with the tour right now, I've written down a few lines to some songs but I don't have any complete ones yet. I saw Edward working on one yesterday though so I'm not sure if he has anything completed yet."

As I was finishing that statement Edward walked through the door followed closely by Emmett and Jasper who were holding onto each other for support they were laughing so hard. Edward shot them a look and then collapsed into the chair next to me.

"Well speak of the devil and they shall appear." Carlisle said, "What happened to those two?"

"Don't ask." Edward huffed.

"Well you see" Emmett intervened, "Edward here met his number one fan downtown."

"Yeah and she followed us everywhere," Jasper continued, "So to lose her Edward decided to go into a bathroom and ..and," he looked at Emmett and they both started laughing again.

"And what?" I asked but Jasper and Emmett where both laughing so hard now I knew they couldn't hear me.

"And she followed me into the bathroom and stood outside my stall till I came out." Edward rushed out.

I sat there trying to keep a straight face until my laugh came gushing out. "She went into the boys bathroom?"

"Yes and she stood there waiting for poor Eddie to come out." Emmett said.

"That is priceless." I said just imagining the whole scenario. Edward looked at me and gave me a small grin.

"Alright guys its time to get down to business." I turned my head towards Carlisle. I had completely forgotten he was even there.

"Edward I've already talked to Bella have you written any new songs lately? We need to start making a list for the next album."

"Yea, I've written a few new songs."

"About what?" Carlisle looked at him expectantly.

"Um about love and," his eyes shifted to glance at me and then went back to Carlisle, "and jealousy."

So what do you think.....
