Does anyone have any idea how horrible i feel right now? Well, I feel pretty bad. if it wasn't for SimplyLeah, I would have never updated. THIS IS WHY WE REVIEW! I have been in Washington DC and when I got back I literally forgot about the story! If she hadn't reviewed, this wouldn't be here. So, yeah. Here you go. Chapter 7.

Chapter 7: Whoa.

I was sitting on one of the couches on the side sipping my pina colada, virgin, of course. I was tired. It was only about 11. The beginning was fun, I dance with a couple of guys, sang some karaoke with Alice and Rose, you know, usual party stuff. I couldn't help but wish that Edward would come and ask me to dance. He never did, though. I just kind of gave up. By about 9, I started to feel over dressed. Most of the girls were coming in just ordinary sun dresses or mini skirts. But what the hell, it's my party! I wanted to be the best dressed! I was sitting on the couch, very bored. I leaned my head back and closed my eyes and started to think. I am going to be a mom in less than 12 hours. I am not going to be able to go to parties like this, shop with my friends whenever I wanted, I would have to get a better job, or a second one. As I was collecting my thoughts, I felt the seat beside me sink down a little, but I didn't think much of it. I just kept thinking. I don't know, maybe it was just a girl and a boy sitting on the couch, after all, the couch could fit like 5 people.

"Are you okay?" I heard a voice beside me. My eyes shot open. Edward.

"Oh!" I shouted this as I shot up, "Yeah, sorry. I was just...thinking."

"Oh." Was all he said. We sat in an awkward silence for a while. I wanted to tell him how i really felt. I really liked Edward, and it made it awkward to just have that secret laying around. I decided to speak.

"Look, Edward I-" While at the same time he said, "Bella, look, im sorry-"

"You go first," he said quickly. Even in the dark, you could tell he was nervous. God knows what about.

"Well, I don't know, it's just that-" Then, I got an idea. The idea surprised me, because I wasn't ready to admit my true feelings for Edward yet. "Can we go to the kitchen real quick?"

"Um, sure?" He said with a confused voice.

We walked into the kitchen and saw Rose and Alice giggling about something, i expected them to be in here. They turned around all innocent looking and looked at me.

"Bella.." Rose said, "What a, um, surprise to see you here. With Edward.."

"Um," I began, "yeah. Rose, Al, can I talk to you for one second?"

"Sure," Alice said confused.

"Okay," I started when we got into the bathroom. I shut the door behind us. "I do like your brother."

All of the sudden, out of no where, I heard a high pitched squeal. It was closer to me than I thought it should be. Turns out it was from Alice.

"Oh my GOD! Thank you Bella!" She grabbed my hand and led us out of the bathroom.

"We have been waiting for like EVER for you to tell us!" Rose said as we entered the kitchen.

"Um, did I miss something?" Edward said while drinking something.

"No, now go dance alone, we have to talk to Bella." Alice shoved him out of the kitchen.

When he was gone, then I started talking. "But I just cant talk to him! I'm too nervous." I frowned.

"I know exactly what you two need," Rose said as she stalked off into a closet in the back of the kitchen.

I waited a second and looked at Alice, "Us two?"

"Don't deny it! You can tell Edward is nervous around you too!" I nodded.

Rosalie came back with a bottle. I could smell it from where i was standing. It was fruity smelling, like strawberry. When she got closer, I saw what it was.

A bottle of strawberry vodka.

"Rose! What are you DOING with that?!" I screamed as she poured some into two of the drinks.

"You're gonna drink it silly!" Alice said with a laugh. "You cant think WE would throw a party without alcohol, really? Bella, we have done this before at our old place. We know how to handle it."

"Alice!" I yelled in a hushed tone, "We are 17 years old! It's underage drinking! Illegal! My dads a cop for Christ sake!"

"Bells, chill out. Seriously." Rose said.

Alice joined in. "Yeah! Your spending the night here, by the time you go home whatever hangover you have will be over, and your dad wont suspect a thing!"

"I don't know.."

Alice pouted. Then, she put on a serious face. "Bella, all im asking is like 2 drinks. Not enough to get you drunk, just so you will loosen up." She paused and took a breathe, then she quieted her voice. "I haven't seen Edward happy since him and Tanya broke up. This is the only way you two can talk. He really does like you. I can tell, and you two would be perfect."

She held a drink up to me, "Please? For me?"

I sighed, and took the drink. I took a sip. It tasted awful! I spit it out! "This is nasty!"

Rose laughed, "You get used to it. Just take a few gulps, you'll be fine!"

I took her advice and took a few gulps. She was right, it was delicious now! I looked to my right and saw Rose and Alice hauling more bottles of alcohol out of the wine cellar and onto an empty space on the table.

"Here," Rose shoved a drink into my hand, "give this to him. It's his favorite, it will loosen him up."

"Thanks," And with that, I walked into the living room. I saw Edward dancing awkwardly with a girl from my trig class. Her name was Jessica. She was trying to grind all over him and he was slowly backing away. When he saw me, he came right over to me, causing Jessica to fall forward. From the looks of it, she was already a bit tipsy.

"Wanna dance?" Edward said desperately. I smiled and nodded. I put the drinks on a table and went to dance. We danced for about 2 songs. I picked up the drinks and headed back over to him.

"Hey." I said, "Lets go into the kitchen, here." I handed him the drink.

"Thanks," he said, then he drank the whole entire thing in one gulp. He must do this a lot, he had zero signs of disgust on his face.

We went into the kitchen and sat down. He started grabbing more drinks and drinking them. By the time he was on his 5th, I was half way done with my second. I was starting to feel tipsy. Maybe it was just because this was the first time I had ever done this.

"You look beautiful Bella," Edward told me.

I blushed a little, "Thanks, you don't look so bad yourself."

We sat in an awkward silence for a minute. I decided to break the silence.

"So," I said kind of unclear. I cleared my throat. "So, what were you going to say to me earlier?" I batted my eyelashes in a flirty way. Wow, alcohol does have an effect on me.

"What were YOU going to say?" He said with ease.

"You go first."

"No, you." He smiled.

"Oh, alright!" I laughed a bit while finishing my 2nd drink. I grabbed a third and gulped it down. I decided to drink my 4th slowly. I just couldn't get enough, these were SO good!

"Well..?" He said sort of impatiently.

"OH!" I shouted, "Well, I think your pretty hot. Your funny, nice, cute, and I really like you."

"Oh..well." He started off. "I..sorta...kinda...REALLY like you too.."

"That is so AWESOME!" I laughed and ran into his arms and hugged him. He let me in generously, hugging me tightly.

"Bella, I think it's time for you to go to sleep. You have an early day tomorrow. I will take you to a guest room."

"NO!" I said pretty loud, some people looked at me with a weird look. "I wanna stay with you!" I got up and stumbled a bit. I grabbed another drink and took a sip. Edward tried to take it from me, but I tried to resist. It spilt all over my brand new dress. Deep pink on blue, not a very good mix.

"SHIT!" I yelled, once again. "This wasn't cheap!"

"It's okay, im sure Alice has something you can wear." He put my arm around his shoulders and tried to help me walk. I was tired and dizzy, but I didn't want to go to sleep.

"I remembered where his room was, and I walked into it and sat on his bed. He walked in.

"Bells, what are you doing?" He asked as he sat next to me.

"I'm sitting, is that a crime?!"

He sighed, "Your drunk. Come on, I will take you to Alice's room. She probably has some clothes you can wear.

We went into her closet when we got to her room. I swear the closet was bigger than the whole room. We searched for a while. I found some gray cotton shorts, but the only pajama tops I could find were lacy tank tops.

"I can live with the shorts, but I am NOT wearing THAT!"

"Come on, you can wear one of my shirts." He led me to his room, yet again. He threw me one of his shirts. It said football, so I guess he played football at his old school. Without thinking, I took off my dress revealing my lacy blue strapless bra and underwear set Alice got for me at Victorias Secret. I put on the shorts and shirt and turned around. It was then that I realized what I had just done. Edward was looking at me with shock. I had just pretty much stripped for a guy I just literally told I liked him. I gave him a smile, and without thinking, I went over and kissed him. He kissed me back. Actually, I wouldn't call it kissing, it was more like a full on make out session. I was leaning against the wall, when I stopped kissing him. I took his hand and led him to the bed. We sat on the bed and started it up...again. I layed down and everything went black from there on.

OOOHHH! What's gonna happen next?! You'll just have to wait and see. (: Yes I am aware that was short, but I got everything I needed to in. So, deal for now. Next chapter will be up soon. Soo, yeah. Review please.
