OUTSIDE ALICE'S DORM
BPOV
I got back on UCSB
grounds in about ten minutes, and I parked by the beach, considering
Alice's dorm room was right by there. I went inside the dorm room,
and went up to her room, I found it in the fourth floor, and knocked.
No one answered, but I knocked again, I'm guessing she wasn't
there so I got on my tippy toes, to get the spare key off the ledge;
I found it and opened the room to her dorm.
I went inside and I saw that her room was clean. She had a double bed, but one of the beds had a comforter and everything, while the second one was bare. I guess she had a single bed, or her roommate dropped out, which I doubt because it was still September. I was on my phone checking my messages, when I needed to pee again, what the hell I thought, I just peed at the bar. I left my bag on the bed and went to the bathroom.
APOV
I was driving back with
Edward, after getting some coffee with him, and we caught up with
each other. We talked about dad and mom, and how things were going
with his possible internship. We were actually having a nice
conversation, I liked this Edward the one that didn't try to hit on
my friends, or was checking some girl out. I loved my brother who was
a low key music addict, and loved everything there was to being a
doctor.
No matter how much of a good time we were having he had
to ruin it, by telling me about some random chick he met when he was
out in LA, at Leah's bar.
I rolled my eyes, he told me about the chick being different or something, bullshit. I think she was different because she didn't sleep with Edward. We talked about me too; he tried to get me to tell him who the guy was that I liked. I told him I didn't need a guy.
"Alice there has to be a guy."
"Why must there be a guy, you know I don't date, not after James."
FLASHBACK
James was my ex-boyfriend from back in high school. In Washington me and him dated for almost two years, he was a junior and I was an 8th grader when we started dating. I was so happy and I was always with him. He always respected me, when we began dating; only kissing and hanging out at my house. When it was summer, he left on an expedition to Europe, with some club. Then when I started high school everything changed, I was a freshmen and he was a senior. In the beginning he was always stressed with college applications, and I understood that, he was always busy applying to schools, and scholarships. When it was all over he was at sweet as ever, during winter break we went down to California to stay in Big Bear with some of his friends, we had been together for a year and a half, so while we were there he tried to get a little fresh, I said no that I wasn't going to do it in a cabin, with his friends in the other room. He seemed mad at first, but didn't push it anymore.
Everything was fine, we came back, and we were still together, and he got accepted to all his schools including his dream school BROWN. I remember being sad that he was going to leave in August, how naïve I was that we were going to be forever, and all that fun stuff. When Prom started coming around, he asked me to it, by candlelight dinner, and I of course said yes. I was so excited I was going with him, and that I was going to be the only freshman to be at the Prom. I remember buying a gorgeous dress from Nordstrom, and being excited to be able to show it off with him at the Prom.
On the day of prom, I took the whole day off and got ready, I got my makeup done professionally, although I could have done it good too, and my nails done, and even some relaxing massages and facials. I wanted to look stunning. I finished getting ready and when I came downstairs in my dark blue dress, my brother whistled. Everybody thought I looked hot, they said I looked like Rihanna with paler skin.
He came to pick me up and we went to dinner, we went to the prom and had a fun time, and he was even Prom King. We kept on dancing, and had a blast; you could say it was the perfect night.
Afterwards was where things got out of control. He took me to a hotel, and at first I thought it was a party, but when we got to the room it was too quiet. The party was in the next room, but he wanted some alone time for the both of us. I still to this day can't believe I was so stupid. He started kissing me and trying to remove my dress, and I said no. He kept trying and I finally screamed NO.
"You know I am not ready for that."
"Ally, we have been together for almost two years. Don't you love me as much as I love you?"
"You know that I love you. But, I am still not ready, take me home James."
"You little bitch; you know what find your own ride. I am outta here."
And with that he left, to the party next door. I started crying, and went to the bathroom, to recollect myself. After I fixed my dress, and my makeup, I went back outside into the hallway to find James, to take me home.
I went to the room, next door; where I knew the party was suppose to be going on. I opened the door, and inside people were making out in the couch or passed out on the floor, they all had either dresses, or tuxes. I was poking around looking for James, and when I didn't find him, I went to the other room.
When I went inside I found James all right, it was James on top of some girl, with their outfits forgotten and in the ground, and it was some girl with red hair. I had seen her around school, I knew she was a senior, but I couldn't remember her name. I wanted to yell at him, but I just left the room. I went back into the hallway, crying and looking for a phone.
I found one and dialed Edwards's number, I had no idea where the hell he was, but he answered on the fifth ring when I was already giving up hope.
"Hello? Who is this?" Edward sounded sleepy, I checked the time and it was almost 2 am.
I answered back crying, "Edward, it's me Alice, can you come pick me up?"
"Alice? What happened? Where are you?" He sounded more alert.
I gave him the hotel
number and address, "Please, just come get me, try to sneak out I
don't want mom to worry."
"I'll be there in fifteen
minutes. Be careful ok?"
"I will, just hurry."
I hung up and put the phone where I had founded it, and made my way back to the room that James had rented us. In ten minutes I heard someone knocking on the door, at first I was angry thinking that it was James, but then I heard my brother's voice yelling my name.
"Alice let me in!"
I opened the door, and hugged him crying and ruining the plain white shirt he was wearing.
"Take me home
please."
He nodded and led me to his car. On the way home I
told him what happened.
END FLASHBACK
Later on when we were back in school Edward was suspended for hitting James in the face, and sending him to the emergency room.
I avoided James and he started going out with that chick that I learned was names Victoria, and after graduation he left to Brown.
I got over him, but I never dated, when prom came around my junior year, I just skipped it, I got offers to go, but I told them all no.
In my senior year I was going to skip prom again, but Edward said that I wasn't going to skip it because of James, I got asked to go by a lot of guys again, and I had told them all no. I told Edward I didn't have a date, and he took me.
It was really sweet of him, because not only was he offering, but he was a freshman at University of Washington, he didn't have to take me to a high school dance, but he said it would be an honor. It was one of those rare moments when he was decent, he took me, and I had a blast and afterwards instead of going straight home or to a party we went to have a late late dinner at Denny's.
I went back to reality, and gave Edward a look about James.
"Alice, James was almost
three years ago, you have got to start dating, not every guy is like
that you know, trying to force his girlfriend to sleep with
him."
"What about you, you're always trying to find some
chick to sleep with."
Edwards hand started straining along the steering wheel. His knuckles were turning white as they were straining on the steering wheel.
"I am nothing like him, he was forcing you to sleep with him, and I would never do that to a girl."
I nodded I knew that, but it sure seemed like that sometimes.
"Ok sorry, look there has to be a guy you like. Ally…"
"Why does there have
to be one."
"Alice…come on, you're telling me that not a
single guy here in Santa Barbara, has gotten your attention?"
I just stared at him, and he stared back, even though he was driving, he was an expert at driving in Washington, and now in California too.
I sighed, "FINE! There's this guy right, it's nothing really, and he gave me a ride, from my sorority big sisters house yesterday, he is really cool, and extremely cute."
"I knew it, see little sis, are you going to see him again?"
"Probably if I am at my big sisters house, I was just over there to help her get ready, to go clubbing."
At this Edward made
a face, "Alice, what are you her monkey, to this stuck up
girl?"
"No, I volunteered, I actually really love my big
sister, she is amazing, and sweet, oh and she is soooo pretty."
Edward raised an eyebrow, and gave me a cocky smile.
I instantly reached over and hit him in the head, "I already told you, don't even, think about it, besides Bella has a boyfriend."
"Yeah whatever, we are here, get out." He smiled at me and gave me a kiss on my cheek, before I hopped out.
"See you later short stuff."
He drive off while I went up to my room, I went into my dorm room, and saw a huge bag that didn't belong to me on my bed, "What the Fuck?"
At that
moment Bella walked in, "Oh hey Alice, sorry I needed to pee. Ok so
I need your help, I have a new job."
"What happened to the job
at the dinner?"
"Well I like it that I get to spend time with Stacy, but other than that I hate it, Mike is always staring at me, and I get paid way too little for all the effort I put in it. I am working at this bar names Coyote Ugly; the manager of one of them offered me the job."
"Sweet, hmm like the movie? Hey what was the manager's name?"
"Leah, why?"
"Oh My God, Leah, I knew it sounded familiar, its cause I know her, she use to live in Washington, she was one of my brothers best friends."
"Oh wow, hey when you become a Kappa, you can come to the bar."
"Oh yes, ok so when do you start?"
I looked at my watch, and it was 3:00, time was going by quick, "At 7:30, I was wondering if you could help me get ready?"
She started hopping, up and down, "Yes, ok I have the perfect outfit, umm do you have a car?"
"Yeah, I do, ok where we going to?"
"Shopping, there's this store that I think we will find an outfit, let's go."
TICK TOCK TICK TOCK
AN HOUR LATER BACK AT ALICE'S DORM
BPOV
It was four o clock and we were back in Alice's dorm room. I had only been with her for an hour and it was so much fun. She went in grabbed a ton of clothes and threw me in a dresser.
We had found the perfect outfit, she grabbed me some leather pants, and pink top that pushed up my boobs and then she went to do my hair, she gave me loose curls, and gave me light makeup.
Then for shoes she gave me a pair of boots.
I looked hot, and I didn't want to sound conceited, but if before I though that I looked hot, now I had more of a sex appeal.
It took us a couple of hours getting ready, and Alice had a small refrigerator in her dorm, she handed me something to drink and we talked a little more, it was barely six and I had an hour in a half to kill.
We talked some more about her and her family.
"So my brother was telling me some stuff today at coffee time, Oh my God, I love my brother I really do, but sometimes he irritates me so much."
"Why?"
"He is such a player, so yesterday he was at Leah's bar, and he was saying some stuff about a girl, but he kind of got me in a way to admit that I have some feelings for someone."
I squealed this time, "What! Who, oh that is good, Alice you are way too pretty for you NOT to date. So who is it?"
"Yeah, it's umm….your brother."
She looked down, and I had a huge smile in my face, "Awww, Alice, ok so let me give you my brothers number, wait what's with the face?"
"I can't call him, Bella, what if he doesn't like me?"
Then I remembered the conversation me and Jasper had this morning. They liked each other.
"Ay Dios mio, Alice, my dear brother decided to tell me and force me to put in a good word for him, telling me that he wanted to see you again."
I wanted to laugh how, Alice looked, and she had a sparkle in her eyes.
"Really? So should I call him?"
I sighed, "Yes call him, and look here is his number. Call him and go out somewhere."
"Ok, I will," She then said in a lower voice, "I bet Eddie is going to be happy."
"Eddie your brother?"
"Yeah, he is the one that was at Leah's bar yesterday, claiming he found this girl that was different from the rest."
"Which bar? I was at Leah's bar yesterday, that's how I got the job in the first place."
"The one in LA….wait isn't that where you were at?"
"Yeah, it is, hmm maybe I saw him."
"Well pale, tall, seemed to have an air of arrogance?"
"I don't know about that, there was this guy that I saw that was absolutely hot, but I doubt I will ever see him again, oh wow Alice I have to go it is time for me to go to work."
Alice was looking at me, "How did this guy look like?"
I was gathering all my stuff, "Umm he had bronze hair, green eyes, and in case I didn't tell you I have a weakness for colored eyes, and was absolutely hot like he should be a model."
Alice eyes expanded and then composed herself and nodded, "oh, ok well I'll call Jasper, and I hope you have fun, at work today."
I went over to give her a hug, "Ok wish me luck."
With that I went and left to go to work.
ALICE POV
After Bella left, I went to my phone and debated for a second…get involved in Bella's love life? Or not?
She had a boyfriend, I should not interfere in it.
But I mean seriously, what are the odds that her and my brother already met, and that my brother met her and didn't sleep with her.
I shouldn't get involved, it wasn't right, and Bella would kill me.
Hmmm well….i guess…. Ahh fuck it.
I took out my phone and called Edward.
After a couple of rings later and Edward answered,
"What do you want Alice?"
"Jeez, is that any
way to talk to your beloved little sister? Anyway umm what are you
doing tonight?"
"Whatever short stuff, umm nothing, why?"
"Describe the girl that you met yesterday, what was she wearing?"
"She had on a blue corset looking blouse, and pants, she also was dancing on the bar, and had curves that cold kill. Why are you so suddenly interested? A couple of hours ago you were all about her being a ho, and I don't know what else."
I had stopped paying attention to him, could it be that the girl Edward was all gaga over was Bella?
"What color was her
hair?"
"She had brown hair and it was long, again you are
making no sense little sis."
"Whatever look, I am not saying
anything, never mind, I was just curious ok."
"No Alice you
are up to something, tell me."
He was determined. "I
was curious ok!"
"No tell me."
"I have to go..."
"NO
tell me, Alice."
"Umm…"
"Alice
you are hesitating, now I know something is up, now tell me before I
go over there and drag it out of you ok?"
umm what do I tell
him, I was growing impatient, I was almost positive the girl Edward
talked about was Bella, but I couldn't let my brother get his hands
on Bella, not yet, no I mean, he cant see her at the bar, then I knew
what I was going to tell him, "Eddie I have to go and call
Jasper—the guy I told you about earlier, I can't believe I am
going to do it, but I am going to ask him if he wants to go to the
movies."
That was embarrassing, I held my breath in hope that my
brother believed me, "Really!?" I could hear the joy in his
voice; he worried too much over me.
"Yes Really. So am I free to call him?"
"Hmm I guess, but you and I are not done, you are hiding something, now go have some fun little sis."
"Ok bye, I love
you."
"Me too Alice, and one more thing—be careful."
I
was happy with his affection over me, and how I knew that he wasn't
just an insensitive jerk or player. I said another goodbye then I
hanged up.
Then I took a deep breath and called Jasper.
RING RING RING RING
"Hello?" It was him.
"Umm hi, it's Alice, Bella's friend."
"Alice?" I thought that he had already forgotten who he was when we had barely met yesterday.
"Alice, is that really you?" Oh he knew who I was, relief rushed through me, "Yeah, Hey how are you?"
"Great actually now that you called, umm what's up?"
"Well I wanted to know if you weren't too busy or had other plans, then maybe you wanted to go to a movie, umm with me, umm tonight?"
"I would love too, umm ill pick you up in about an hour, if that's ok."
He said yes! "No
that's ok; I can go to your house."
He then laughed in the
receiver, "Please Alice my mother raised a gentleman, and since you
already asked me out, do me the honors of me going to pick you up."
At that I blushed and laughed.
"Ok then, I am in the freshman dorms." I gave him the room number, and told him I would be ready in an hour.
Whoa man so there is my story, I am not going to go into what happened in the date, let's just say they had an awesome time, ok?
Next Chapter is Bella's first night :]
