CHAPTER 10

The next morning, I woke up slowly. I must have moved around a bit during the night as I was facing away from Edward, using his arm as a pillow. Flipping over, I looked up at him.

"Good morning gorgeous." He smirks. Yeah, I can only imagine what I look like right now.

"Morning," I grumble back.

He chuckles. "No matter how much rest you get, you are never going to be a morning person, are you?"

"Whatever. You would be tired too if you had to sleep."

This makes him laugh out loud. "Well it's a good thing I don't have to then, isn't it?"

Ugh. Of course I would have to handle a cheeky vampire at...8:30am! Wow, I'm surprised Alice let me sleep this long. And speaking, or technically thinking, of the devil.

"Bella come on! Get up!" Huffing and rolling my eyes, I decide getting out of bed is better than having to deal with a cranky Alice. "And don't forget to wear what I laid out for you."

"Okay, Alice." I say grabbing my clothes and heading to the bathroom. By the time I've showered and gone through my morning routine, Edward has already changed and gone downstairs. Quickly following him, I walk through the house until I reach the kitchen. Grabbing a pack of Poptarts, I toast and lightly butter them.

"B, that's disgusting." I turn around to see Emmett leaning against the doorjamb.

"Whatever Em, I happen to think grizzly bears are gross." I laugh at the look of horror on his face.

"Grizzly's are the best thing out there. Ever!" he practically yells.

"Alright, alright, calm down Emmett." Edward sneaks by him with a grin on his face and makes his way to me. "Alice is freaking out in the living room, are you about ready to go?"

"Yeah, I'll just eat these quick." Walking back through the doorway with Edward, I stop and take a bite of the Poptart in from of Emmett. I giggle when he shudders.

"Bella sweetheart, if it was possible for Emmett to vomit, I'm certain he just would have." Edward sounds highly amused as he informs me of this. Continuing to giggle I walk with Edward up to his room so I can grab my purse when I hear a yell.

"You are evil, Isabella Swan!" This time, Edward laughs with me.

Once the girls join me in the front foyer, we say bye to our men and we're off. I hated to admit it, but I was looking forward to a girl's day.

"So Bella, is there anywhere you want to go in particular?" Rose questions.

"Umm...not that I can think of." I shrug. Usually when I'm looking for new clothes I'm in and out of a store. Ever since I met Alice, that wasn't the case; now she made most of my clothing decisions without my input. It didn't really bother me, but sometimes I just wanted to wear my own clothes and feel like myself. Unfortunately, I knew that wouldn't happen today; this would probably end up being another Bella Barbie day.

"Well there's a new store in the mall I want to check out. I saw some cute things in it yesterday that I think would look great on you." See what I mean? I love her to death, but sometimes she went...shall we say overboard.

"Alice, go easy. She was sick yesterday so let's not push her too hard." Rose muses. I never thought I would say this, but thank god for Rose.

The rest of the way we continued to make small talk. Eventually we parked at the mall and we were on our way to another infamous Cullen shopping spree.

"Alice, when will I ever wear that, seriously." I say for what seems like the umpteenth time.

"But Bella, it's so cute and you could wear it to school." She stands there holding a white, three quarter length sleeve blouse with a thin braided belt along with a pair of high-waist grey dress pants. It was cute, but not me...at all.

I sigh. Knowing I had to pick my battles with this and this was one I wasn't going to win, I let it go. "Fine. I'll try it on."

After the girls deemed it 'so effing cute it wasn't funny', it was thrown on the pile and Alice continued to flit around the store looking for the next best outfit. It didn't take her long. "Rose! Help me find a shirt to go with these."

I look over to find out what I have to endure next to see a pair of dark blue jean short shorts, complete with a brown belt. Fuck. My. Life. I walk over to them protesting the whole way.

"No Alice. I'm not wearing those."

"Bella they're absolutely adorable and you have the body for them. Besides, it's not the first time you've worn short shorts."

"Alice, I said no." My voice has a bit of an edge at this point. I never spoke to Alice like this, and seeing her flinch a little I feel bad. But there is no way in the darkest pit of hell I am wearing anything that will show my scars to the world.

"Okay. I'm sorry Bella." Her voice is small. Well if I didn't feel like shit before, now I do.

"No Ali, I'm the one that should be apologizing. I just really don't want to wear anything that short anymore." I can see a bit of a question in her eyes, but she remains silent.

"Alright," Rose pipes up. "What about this?" she shows us a thin, grey-black long-sleeved shirt.

And the shopping continues.
