Chapter 12: Help from a pixie
After dinner I asked Victoria if I could go to the ball. My chances where very slim, but I tried anyway there was know way of knowing in less I tried.
"Victoria, I uh mean stepmother I was wondering since it's on a Saturday could I please go to the ball tomorrow night?" I asked stepping into the computer room which was two sizes bigger then my room (any room in this whole house would be bigger then my room.)
"Let me think for a moment…NO! You have weekend chores to do" she said almost to the point wear she was mad that I asked.
"But I-" I was cut off by her voice. "But you what? Want some guy to go with you. Who would ask you? Who would want to go with you anyway?" Victoria asked as she sat in the lazy boy chair.
"I'm done with all my chores. Yes a guy did ask me…Edward Cullen" I said almost stumbling over my words.
"Since you're done with your chores, I guess you won't mind having more. So you might want to call your lover boy and tell him that you won't be there" she said with a laugh.
I didn't know what to say I was so upset and broken that I went straight to my room with the phone in my hand. I sat on the edge of my bed as I dialed Edwards number. As it rang tears began to fill my eyes. I didn't want to do this but what else could I do? A few moments later there was a click.
"Hey love" Edward said with that sweet velvet voice of his.
"Um Edward I have to tell you something it's about tomorrow" I started trying to keep the sadness from my voice.
"What is it If it's what you should wear just pick something you'll look great in anything" Edward said. I know he was very happy about tomorrow, he wouldn't be after I told him that I couldn't go.
"Edward... I can't go. Victoria gave me weekend chores."I said as the sadness began to come to my voice.
"Bella tell her no that you deserve to go that you did all your chores already" Edward said as he began to get mad.
"I did and she just laughed and told me that I should just forget it that I would never get to go" I said as some of the tears began to fall.
"Bella-"Edward began but I had another call coming in.
"Hang on Edward there's another call coming in" I said clicking over to three people conversation.
"AW IS BELLA CRYING HER EYES OUT TO EDWARD. WELL GET OVER IT. AND GET OFF I NEED TO US THE PHONE!!!!!!!" Rosalie yelled into the phone.
"Sorry Edward I have to go" I said as I put down the phone. Rosalie came into my room and took the phone from me.
As soon as she was gone I let myself go. I wouldn't get to go and that was that. I cried myself to sleep not ready for tomorrow.
Twelve Hours later...next day basically
I woke with my eyes swollen and red from crying. Today was going to be a hectic day. As soon as I appeared down stairs Rosalie and Alice dragged me out the door to go shopping with them. It took most of the day to get what they need for the ball tonight. By the time we got home I was so tired and beat that if by some miracle I could go, I wouldn't that's how tired I felt. I sank to the floor as the door bell rang. Thank god I didn't have to get it Victoria did.
"Hi Emmett, Rosalie will be right down" Victoria said with a smile. Rosalie! Emmett's here" she yelled up the stairs.
Rosalie came down a few minuets later in a red dress that went to the middle of her knees. She had black gloves, black shoes to match and her hair was half back with a general curl to it.
"Mom I should be back by twelve" Rosalie said.
"That's fine...where's Alice?" there mom asked looking at Rosalie.
"Jasper's on his way here. Alice said she would be ready shortly" Rosalie said as Emmett opened the door for her.
"Bella we will be home at midnight by then the whole house will be spotless" Victoria said as she left.
"Isn't Bella going to the ball?" Emmett asked looking at Rosalie.
"No she has stuff to do" Rosalie said looking at me with a smirk.
As soon as they where gone I laid my head on my knees and cried. As I continued to cry I heard something. I looked up to find Alice standing there in a little black dress.
"What are you still doing here shouldn't you be with Jasper at the ball?" I asked Alice as more tears fell from my eyes.
"Bella don't cry" Alice said standing next to me.
"Why? I can't go to the ball, I don't have a dress, Edward was mad because I told him I couldn't go. He probably found some else to take" I said as I tried to stop the tears.
"Bella,Jasper and Emmett said that Edward would never take anyone else but you. And yes you can go to the ball I have everything you'll need. I think you're going to like it" Alice said as she got me to my feet. As I entered her room I saw the royal blue dress that I saw at David's Bridal on her bed.
"Oh my gosh Alice..how..when?" I asked looking at her with happiness.
"The other day when you where talking about it. I went out that night and got it then. Oh and don't forget the shoes"Alice said pulling out a pair of silver sandals with little gems in them.
After staring in aw for a moment at the shoes Alice spoke again.
"Come on lets get you ready" getting out her big case of make-up.
With in minuets I was ready, I looked in the mirror and saw a girl I had never seen before. I looked like a princess right out of a fairy tale. My hair was down with some high lights to it, my make-up was perfect Alice did an amazing job. While I looked in the mirror there was a knock at the door. We went down stairs I answered the door to see Jasper standing there looking great in his black suit (Reminded me of James Bond)
"Hi Jasper" Alice said with a smile.
"You look great Alice, As do you Bella" Jasper said with a lovely smile.
"Um Alice I have one question. What am I going in?" I asked looking at her with wonder and confusion.
"You can take my porch, but make sure it comes back in one piece. Oh and don't forget be back by midnight"Alice said tossing me her keys.
A/N:So Alice is her fairy god mother I bet you guys didn't see that one coming. So what do you think? Oh and should Bella have a mask to hide who she is? I know this is a stupid question but in Twilight where does the prom take place? Thanks for all the reviews. Please review I need them in order to go on.
