A/N Hi guys! I'm completely changed where I'm going with this story, but I like my new story line a lot better!
Chapter 9 - More Secrets Soup For The Mortals Soul
Bella POV
Last Chapter - We watched a ton of movies, and I ate a quick dinner and had a ton of popcorn all to myself.
I passed out half way through the 5th movie, and it was fun to spend time with my other family, even if they were keeping something from me.

"Bella" Someone said and the couch started moving. "Bella, you have to wake up, come on."
"I don't wannna." I said and rolled over, burring my head in a pillow. Wait. A pillow? I slowly opened my eyes and found myself in Edwards bed.
I sat up and saw that Alice was trying to wake me, and she was jumping on the bed! "Dang hyper pixie who doesn't need to sleep..." I mumbled as I watched her bounce up and down and up and down, again and again.
"Why am I here? And where's Edward? And why are you still jumping!?" I yelled at Alice.
She smiled and sat down on the bed, cross legged.
"You are here because after you fell asleep Edward carried you up so you'd be more comfortable, and I was still jumping because I like to jump!"
I looked at her for a second. "Where's Edward?"
"Come on lets go and get breakfast." She said, changing the subject.
"Alice. Where is my Edward?"
"Your? Possessive much, Bella?"
I sigh. "Alice. Where. Is. Edward."
"Don't worry about it, now come on we have to get you some food, because...WE'RE GOING SHOPPING!!"
"Alice, no! Please, I'm tired. I just want to go home and see Charlie, I really missed him, you know!"
She cringed when I said 'Charlie'. Something is up...Or still up from yesterday. Either way, they're keeping something from me!
"Alice. What is wrong with Charlie? And where is Edward?!"
"Bella! Nothing is wrong with Charlie, why would you think that?"
I huffed and stomped down the stairs. The stupid pixie just danced right beside me, the whole way down.
"What do you want to eat?" she asked me. I ignored her and grabbed a box of Lucky Charms.
As soon as I finished I walked up stairs, and grabbed a pair of jeans and a t-shirt.
"Bella! You can't wear that!" Alice complained, but I glared at her and she gave up.
"Ready?" Alice asked when I was changed.
I just started to walk back down the stairs and to her car.
The whole way there Alice asked me questions which I completely ignored. I want my Edward.
After about 20 minutes Alice took the hint and resorted to begging.
"Come on Bells, don't be like this. We love you! I love you, Edward loves you! Please just forget about. Please."
I didn't say anything or even look at her.
"Okay, how about a deal then?" she asked.
This peaked my interest so I looked up at her to tell her I was listening.
"I'll let you call him, but only after we shop for a few hours, okay?"
My outlook was immediately brightened. I would get to talk to my Edward in a few hours! I know, it sounds childish, but I really miss him. We haven't been able to spend some time alone in forever! I was really looking forward to just spending today with him.
"Deal." I said smiling at Alice.

"Alice!" I cried from the dressing room. I was in a too short skirt with a too low cut top and a too high heals. "Alice I cannot wear this! I look like a –" I was cut off by Alice's screeching.
"If you say slut I will hurt you! Now get out here!"
"Fine but you can't laugh when you see me in these hooker heels!" And they really did look like that. Horrible. They had the platform and everything!
Slowly I stepped out of the dressing room.
Alice was shocked. "Oh...Okay, um..." I glared at her.
"Those are hooker shoes!" she exclaimed laughing.
"I told you!"
"Here" she said handing me a pair of cute flats. "Try these with this shirt" she handed me a red tank top "And that skirt." she said pointing to the one I had on.
"Sure thing captain!" I said, happy about not having to wear heals.
I looked in the mirror much happier with what I saw.
"Ali! I actually like this one!" I said bursting out of the dressing room with excitement.
"Excellent, I love it too!" she said and ordered me to change back into my clothes, because it was "lunch time for human."
When we got to the food court I spotted a cute little restaurant with no line so I ordered some fries and a salad. Alice approved.
Half way through my meal I realized something. "Alice, what time is it?"
She pulled out her phone to check the time. "12:48. Why?"
"Because I get to call Edward!" I exclaimed, I was in a much better mood now.
"Oh right. Here." she said handing me the now ringing phone.
"Yes Alice?" he answered and my heart fluttered at the sound of his voice.
"Hi Edward." I said shyly.
"Love!" he said happily. "How are you? Are you okay? You aren't hurt are you?" he continued on in his panicked frenzy of question asking.
I just laughed at him. "No Edward! I'm fine. I just had a deal with Alice."
"Oh. Good to know." He sighed in relief. "I miss you."
"I miss you too. Why was I alone in your bed when I woke up, by the way?"
"Well...You fell asleep during the movie, so I carried you up so you'd be comfortable, and I had to leave early today, and I didn't want to wake you."
"Oh." I could hear a bunch of noise in the background. "Where are you?"
Before he could answer I hear a voice in the background say "Dr. Cullen to ICU room 4, Dr. Cullen to ICU room 4 please."
"You're at the hospital?" I asked confused.
"Yeah, Carlisle needed some help today." Again I heard a huge commotion in the back followed by a panicked voice yelling something about "Swan down" Huh. The voice sounded familiar.
"Emmett." Edward hissed. "I'm talking to Bella." he put extra strain on my name.
So it was Emmett that I heard.
"Sis!" He yelled. "Let me talk Edward! Carlisle needs you in Ch–I mean ICU room 4, anyways."
Edward sighed. "Bella, I have to go. Carlisle needs my help, I love you. Here Emmett wants to talk."
"Love you too." I said quickly before I was passed to Emmett.
"So Jingle Bella, What's up?"
I laughed at my nick name and told him about shopping with Alice, though I'm sure he knew where I was.
He laughed for a good few minutes when I told him about the hooker shoes.
"Hey! You're the one that made them look hooker-ish! Those shoes had potential..." Alice defended the alleged 'hooker shoes'.
"Oh, so I look like a hooker Alice?" I asked, only a little mad that she said that.
Emmetts booming laugh rang through the phone again.
"Well...No." she said. "You just made the shoes look...Well...Yeah I guess." she finally conceded.
"Thanks Alice. Way to make a girl feel special!"
She laughed. "Well, you're a very high priced hooker at least! None of them cheepies."
I was now in full blown hysterics.
I heard Emmett talking to someone on the line and then he said he had to go. I said a quick goodbye and closed the phone with a loud 'snap'.
My lunch was now gone. "Okay" Alice said happily. "Time for our appointments!"
I stared at her. "Appointments?" I asked stunned.
"Yeah." she said in a 'duh' voice. "Nails first, then hair and then I'm going to take you to a hotel and we're going to get dressed and have a girls night out!"
"Alice, please no. Pretty please?" I was full on begging now.
"Nope, I'm not budging on this one."
I sighed. It's better to play along now I guess.
I was dragged across the huge mall into a high end nail salon.
"Welcome to 'Nails by You' How can I help you?" A cheerful young women asked us.
"Yes, we have an appointment under Cullen." Alice said kindly.
She looked down at the book and nodded, leading us to a different room, that had a computer in it and some other machinery.
"Okay, all you have to do is pick the style" the lady said pointing to a certain part on the screen "color" she pointed to another part "And pattern. Call when you are ready."
We smiled and thanked her. This was weird. Like Home Depot for nails. But it was cool.
I choose a plain style, with a dark blue color that matched a top Alice had picked out for tonight, and I made it checkered with black to match the black pants I was going to be wearing. Alice approved.
She chose to get a french manicure, in a bright pink to match her dress, with a white detail on it.
We called the lady back in and she printed out our 'nails' and led us to a station.
I sat next to Alice and the man sitting across from me started on my nails, cleaning trimming, the whole deal.
"So, what's your name?" the guy doing my nails asked me.
"Bella, and yourself?"
"Jason. What brings you here?"
Before I could answer Alice chimed in with "Girls Night!"
After a few more minutes Alice was done, and I was still only half way through my second hand.
Jason was about to ask me a question but my phone rang.
"Alice!" I called. She looked at me. "Can you grab my phone please, it's in my pocket."
She grabbed it out and flipped it open for me.
"It's Edward." she said.
"Hi Edward! What's up?"
"Not much love, I just missed the sound of your voice." Aw he was so sweet.
"Aw, I miss you too. What did Carlisle need help with earlier?" I ask.
"Nothing just a difficult patient." There was an edge to his voice, but I let it go. "Where are you?" he asked me.
"I'm actually getting my nails done, Alice is taking me on a girls night!" I exclaimed with as much fake enthusiasm as I could muster.
"Sounds like a ton of fun." he said laughing at me.
"Hey! Don't laugh at me, I'll tell your psycho sister that you want to go shopping!" I teased.
"Okay, okay I'm sorry."
"I forgive you." I said smiling.
"Crap. I have to go again, call me tonight. I love you My Bella."
"Okay, I love you too My Edward."
Alice carefully took the phone from me and clicked it shut and stuffed it in my pocket.
I smiled at Jason. "Sorry, you were saying?"
"Oh, nothing. Who was that?"
"That was Edward. Her boyfriend!" Alice called from across the room where she was now sitting.
"Oh." he said. He finished in silence. And Alice paid and we headed to my next torture chamber. The Hair Salon.
Luckily I had my book in my bag so as soon as I was seated I pulled it out and started to read, I could hear Alice telling the person what to do, but I tuned her out.
I got lost in my book and I was surprised when they announced that they were done.
I was about to be turned, but Alice objected, saying I couldn't see until she did my make up and I was dressed. Dang pixie...
I sighed and heaved myself out of the chair thanking the person.
Alice pushed me into the car and made me promise not to peek.
I sighed for the millionth time today but agreed.
I had been very good today with not complaining about her spending on me. But when she pulled up to the Hilton I lost it.
"Alice! You do not need to spend this much on a hotel! We don't even need it!" I protested.
"Bella, Bella, Bella. We are going to be out late tonight and I'll be too tired to drive home tonight. We are staying here tonight."
"Alice..." I said once were safely in our too expensive room. "You are a vampire you don't get tired. You don't sleep..." I said this very slowly.
"Oh well...We're still staying the night, and that's final." She was now doing my make up.
"Fine Alice. I know something's up and you're trying to keep me out of Forks, so we'll stay here tonight, then can I go home and see Edward? And Charlie?"
She sighed. "Yes. We're just staying for the night."
A few minutes later Alice announced she was done and that I could get dressed.
I slipped into my clothes and waited for Alice to come and fix whatever I messed up. She pulled a little on the pants and shirt and then led me to the mirror.
"Wow Alice." I looked amazing. My hair was done in messy curls of all different sizes and looked like I had just rolled out of bed. My make up was light, but my lips were a outstanding color and it made them look amazing.
"I told you it would be worth it!" Alice sang and pulled me into a hug. Alice was stunning in her short halter pink dress. It hugged all of her curves in just the right way. Her hair was in all directions, more so than usual, but it too looked amazing. Her make up was light too, just a little blush and some lipstick with her eyes lined and lashes plumped with mascara.
"Now where are we going?" I ask.
"That" she says with a evil smile "Is a surprise!"
A/N I'll give a surprise to anyone who can guess where this is going! And it is going somewhere, not just one some weird ramble...I hope you like it, PLEASE REVIEW! Oh and I have no idea if "Nails By You" is a real place or not. It sounded good to me.
Next Chapter - Girls Night Out and...Other stuff you'll have to wait and read about!
OH! And my computer isn't letting me reply to any reviews, but I will once it gets fixed, promise!
LOL SOS
