Er, sorry about the 2 year wait, life caught up with me. I haven't been on fanfiction as much as I used to be, but now that I've finished first year university, I'll hopefully be back. I can't promise quick updates, but I do have the outline of this story planned out. It'll be approximately 20 chapters, but we'll see how it goes.
Sadly, after all this time, I don't think my writing changed at all, in fact, I feel like it's gotten worse. Also I don't have a beta anymore, I don't really know what happened to the one I had, she kind of disappeared :/
Anyways, I hope you enjoy.

"Oh my god Jasper I can't believe it!" I squealed. He just merely chuckled and said, "Haha, I knew you would remember."
"Well come here and give me a hug!"I practically screamed as I opened my arms wide. He stepped forward and gave me the biggest hug that could rival Emmett's.
The door opened, and Edward strolled in. "Hey so that was Jack-o-latern... what's going on here?" Edward said accusingly.
"Nothing, we're just old friends reuniting." Jasper replied.
"You two know each other?" He arched an eyebrow in confusion. As I was about to answer, the door opened behind Edward.
"Oh Eddie-kins!" Came a shrilly voice that could only belong to one person.
Chapter Eight
Oh Great...
All eyes were glued to the door, staring at the strawberry blond haired woman. I groaned aloud, slapping my forehead in frustration. The noise alerted everyone in the room.
"Um, hi Tanya?" I said sounding more like a question.
"Oh hello Ellie!" She responded with fake enthusiasm.
"It's Bella actually..." I trailed off.
"Oh tomato, tomatoe. It's all like, the same thing." She giggled obnoxiously. Her eyes darted to Jasper for a moment before looking at Edward.
"So Eddie..." She said seductively, slowing licking her lips not realizing the complete repulse we were all displaying. Her lips were excessively wet and thick with saliva rolling down her chin – very slowly I might add. I looked at Jasper and gave him a look, to which he responded with an 'I know' look.
I looked back at the two, and Tanya was running her hands up and down Edward's arm. He visibly shuddered. He gently grabbed onto Tanya's upper arms and pushed her away.
"Tanya what are you doing here? Why aren't you New York?" He questioned. He ran a hand through his hair and blew out a deep breath. He had done this back in high school many times when he was annoyed and frustrated. I stared at him sceptically. Wasn't it just over a week ago that he was sucking faces with her?
"Eddiekins, like aren't you glad to see me" She stuck out her bottom lips and looked up at him, batting her eyelashes. It took a great deal not to laugh at her, but I had managed to suppress it. Jasper on the other hand was having a difficult time, and quickly masked it with a cough.
"No," he muttered quietly. "Seriously, why are you here?" He asked again.
Tanya humphed and stomped her foot angrily. "I'm here because Chevalier like, heard about little Miss Faint over here and like, we were on the jet to Paris right away." She pointed a perfect finger directly at me.
I narrowed my eyes at her, hoping that she would see my obvious annoyance "Wait a minute. How long was I out for? It takes hours to get here." 'I couldn't have been out that long right? I just fainted...oh and then I oh so gently smashed my head off the pavement,' I thought.
I stared at Edward expecting an answer. He nervously scratched the back of his neck and avoided eye contact. I raised an eyebrow at Jasper, confused. I heard the number 23 come out of a mumbling Edward. "What was that? Can you repeat that a little louder please?" I asked a irritated now.
He sighed in defeat, "You've been here for at least 23 hours Bell," he smiled sheepishly. "Sorry I wasn't there to catch you when you fell."
"23 hours?" I groaned. "It's okay I guess, I'm fine now though right?" I questioned the two guys.
"Yes you are" Tanya sneered. "Now Eddie, can you like take me out somewhere. Like, we're in Paris! Romance capitol hello? And we're like here," she paused dramatically, "together! Isn't that great?" She squealed.
I have been counting how many times she has said the word 'like' since she got here - so far 7 times. And each time she finishes a sentence it seems as though she must click her tongue. I have been judging Edward's reaction towards Tanya's advances. He has cringed every few seconds and it is now obvious he does not like her anymore. Not sure how he ever did.
"No thanks Tanya. I would much rather stay here with Bella" His eyes grew wide as if realizing a grave mistake, "and Jasper." he added quickly. He forced out a strained laugh , "I mean I have to stay here you know, for Bella's sake, she is in the hospital." He turned towards us with pleading eyes "Right you guys?"
I exchanged a glance with Edward, chuckling. "Yeah, I don't think Jasper and I can hold up without Edward here."
"That's right ma'am" Jasper said, tipping his invisible hat in her direction.
"Isabella Swan" a voice said, coming from the door. A smiling Jack came into the room. "Well well well, I sure am glad to see that you are okay. There have been pictures after pictures of your incident all over the media."
I looked at him incredulously. "No..." I whined as I threw the thin bed sheet over my head, hiding from the group that occupied my room. "I'm so embarrassed. "
"Yeah well, you should b-" Tanya began to speak but was interrupted by Jack.
"Ah don't worry Bella, this little incident may have gained you more popularity" He said happily.
"Oh, how great" sarcasm was drenched in my voice.
"Alright, time to get serious. Now that you're awake and better, it's time to get you out of this hospital" Jack left to go find my doctor and have me released. Thankfully, he was dragging Tanya right behind him. She was walking backwards towards the door, staring at Edward giving him a repulsive puppy dog face. And what did Edward do? He completely ignored her and looked at Jasper and I, "so how do you two know each other?" he asked.
"We met in Forks actually. I was at one of the playgrounds and that's where I met this lil' lady." Jasper said simply. "I moved to Seattle after that, that's why we never saw each other afterwards" he explained to me.
"Wait, I thought you didn't move to Forks until high school?" Edward asks me in confusion.
I can't believe he still remembers that small detail of my life after all these years, I thought to myself. "yes, you're right Edward. But I was on vacation visiting my dad at that time."
"Oh okay, I see now"
"How do YOU two know each other?" I asked.
"College" they both said in unison.
"Ah, so then what are you doing here Jasper?" I asked curiously.
"What can't a grown man accompany his best friend to his movie set?" He asked seriously.
"Oh, well, er" I was at a lost of words.
Jasper laughed at my expression, "chill Bella, I'm just joshing you. I'm actually Edward's manager."
"Oh wow! That's awesome!" I was surprised, Jasper's so young, I never thought he'd choose to be an agent for Edward for a living.
"Eh yeah, I guess so. But putting up with him isn't all it's cracked up to be" He teased.
"Oh, so tell me Jasper. Was Edward as big a ladies man before as he is now?" I asked with an amused smile. I turned to Edward looking to see if his expression gave away the answer, but I was surprised to see what I saw. He seemed to be deep in thought, and maybe a bit sad.
Jasper's laugh broke me out of my gaze, "you're going to have to ask him that."
As I was about to get Edward's attention, Jack walked into the room with a jump in his step, waving papers around. "You're released" he said excitedly.
"Why is he so happy? It's kind of creeping me out" I whispered, leaning over towards Edward.
"No clue."
An hour and a half later, I was finally released. Edward, Jasper, Jack, Tanya and I were headed to Paris Marriott Hotel Champs-Elysees, the hotel that we will be staying at. We were driven in two black inconspicuous cars, and thankfully Tanya was in the other car with Jack. Without her annoying chatter, and the two guys sleeping, I was left to adore the magnificent city of Paris.
It was unlike anything I've ever seen. The buildings, the people, just the feel of the city was different than New York.
Before I knew it, we arrived at the hotel. It was spectacular, it was elegant, modern (well what I saw in the pictures of the inside) and also had a classic feel to it. Jasper had already stepped out of the car, and was speaking to Jack. I looked behind me and saw that Edward was still fast asleep.
"Edward?" I said softly as I gently shook him out of his slumber.
"Huh?" He replied, confused. He rubbed his eyes like a young child would.
"Hey sleepyhead, we're here."
"Oh thanks. I guess I was more tired than I thought" he said sheepishly.
"Yeah, well the 6 hour time difference isn't going to help any of us" I joked.
We stepped out of the car, and was greeted by Jack. "Okay, so the plan for today is just for you guys to relax. Even though we lost a day, filming doesn't start until next week" he said with a smile on his face. "Oh, well actually another thing you have to do today is just meet the rest of the cast" he paused to check his phone. "Does that sound good?" We nodded unanimously. "Great! Because Jake, you're enemy in the film Edward, is on his way down as we speak."
"Jake?" Edward asked cautiously.
"Yeah, Jacob Black. Now that I recall, you were in a movie with him, were you not?" Jack said.
"Mhmm." Edward leaned over to Jasper and whispered something. It was hard for me to hear, but I thought I heard him say 'not good' to which Jasper replied with a nod.
"Well, hello there Cullen" a voice said from a distance behind Jack.
This man, who I assumed was Jacob, was incredibly good looking. He had dark, russet skin, long black hair, and an amazing body. He seemed to be exceptionally fit and athletic. Once he saw me staring (more like gawking), he gave me a smile that could break hearts. I immediately blushed and looked away.
He strode towards me and said in a husky voice, "Hello beautiful, I'm Jacob Black."
Sorry it's short, I thought this would be a good place to end off.
Thanks for reading, reviews are much appreciated :)
