Bella's POV:
"Shh! Shut up, people can hear you!"
I glanced around and glared at Adrian. The jerk smirked at me.
I really hate my brother sometimes.
'Thank you.' 'Shut it!' I snapped. Adrian laughed.
"I'm just kidding sis." He said as he draped an arm around me.
"Mmm hmm." I muttered, smiling.
The door opened and Brandi breezed in with Michael and Nina in tow.
Brandi took one look at me and Adrian, raised an eyebrow, and said in a low voice, "You know, when you two are like this, it's kind of hard to believe two aren't into each other." Adrian scoffed and rolled his eyes while took the mature route, and stuck my tongue out at my sister.
Brandi shook her head, making her thick platinum blond hair fall around her like a veil.
"That's really mature Als." Joe snickered.
I shot him a look. "Ah family," Miley sang, "so good to have you guys around!"
Emmet's POV:
Cliff Diving.
Motorcycles.
Almost getting a tattoo.
Alcohol.
Werewolves.
Awesome!
Eddie- I mean, Edward, glared at me.
"What? Come on Edward, you got to lighten up! So she hung out with some pups. You heard what she said, she also went cliff diving, rode motorcycles, almost got a tattoo, and drank! Now, if I wasn't a happily married man, I would love to tap-"
"Don't finish that sentence!" He roared.
"Okay, geez. Anger issues much?" I smirked.
He growled at me.
"Alice, help me out here!" I called to my sister, but she had a distant look in her eye.
"Alice, Alice!" I called.
Alice burst into giggles.
"Alice," Edward asked hesitantly, "are you okay?"
Alice laughed. "Yeah, I just pictured Bella in all leather, straddling a motorcycle!"
I grinned, pretty hot image once you think about it.
"All she needs is a wh-" Alice was cut off by Edward's growl.
"Alice, could you please keep your thoughts to yourself?"
I burst out laughing.
Scratch that. The torture has just begun. We were in a taxi, headed toward one of Alice's favorite places in the world. Sax Fifth Avenue.
Man, just saying that feels like I just lost my manly essence.
Edward coughed to stifle a laugh
'Shut up Ed. Or else I'll get Alice to think about Bella on that motorcycle again.' I threatened. He stopped laughing immediately and glared. 'What? It's a hot image.' I grinned. He growled at me. 'You know, if they made that into posters, every guy in the world would have that pinned on their bedroom wall.' His eyes turned black. Eddie didn't even like the thought of guys buying her CDs or DVDs.
I know. Possessive. He's a freaky possessive vampire.
Edward's fists clenched.
"Sax Fifth Avenue!" the cab driver called.
I grinned. Pissing off Eddie is fun. This day is getting better by the minute!
Bella's POV:
"This. Is. Going. To. Be. So. Much. Fun!" Miley screamed as we headed toward Sax Fifth Avenue in our giant SUV.
"Okay, who gave her caffine this morning?" Joe asked, raising an eyebrow.
Miley slapped him.
"I'm not high! I'm just SO excited! We're going to have a great time! Right guys!"
"Yeah."
"Sure."
"I guess."
"Okay."
"Pfft. Whatever." Joe snorted.
Miley put her hands on her hips and gave him her signature glare.
"What?" Joe asked with a childish grin.
Miley glared for a second more, then burst into laughter.
We all looked on in amusement. Why did I get a feeling this day is going to be entertaining?
Oh yeah, because these freaks are my family.
'And you heart us for it!'Miley chirped. 'Uh, okay. If that makes you feel better.' I said indifferently. Miley's eyes got wide and her bottom lip trembled. I looked at Miley; an 18 year-old, wearing stiletto boots, designer skinny jeans, a designer gold tunic, with a leather jacket, All of that made her look like her deserved to be in a magazine, on a motorcycle, but that puppy dog look! That was priceless!
I burst out laughing, and Miley resumed her angry face.
"Hmph!" she huffed and turned her gaze out the window.
"Nice. You got her annoyed, and it's not even noon yet." Adrian smirked. Stupid smirk.
'Oh you know you love it.' He grinned. 'Whatever loser!' I pushed him playfully. "Ah family," Brandi smiled, 'there's never a dull moment with you guys!"
"Yeah, cause da bomb!" Joe grinned, trying to sound gangster. He was failing miserably.
"I cannot believe we are actually related." Miley said, shaking her head in mock
disappointment.
"Okay, guys, we're here." Norman, our driver called.
Miley squealed. "Let the fun begin!"
Joe snorted. "More like torture."
Miley pouted and hopped off the SUV, and into the crazy sea of paparazzi.
Brandi peered outside and said, "Come on, let's get this over with."
We all nodded in agreement and headed toward out of the car.
As we were walking through the crowd, I felt it again. That feeling. The creepy feeling that had
been following me around all week and had given me inwardly shivers. I didn't like this feeling, it made me feel like I had another psychopathic killer after me.
"Ali!" I jumped as Miley's excited voice appeared.
"Come on!" Brandi called.
I shook off the feeling and followed my siblings.
Alice's POV:
"How can Bella stand this insanity?" I muttered as we stood off to the side, watching Bella go into the building from the madness. Emmett shrugged. "She been famous for like, what, two years? She's have to get somewhat used to it."
I nodded in agreement. "Come on!"
We entered the building. I grinned. This is awesome! Like heaven on Earth!
Edward snorted and started looking around for Bella.
Stalker.
Edward growled at my comment.
'Oh you know I love you! My little brother!' I chirped. "There she is!" Emmett whispered.
We swiveled around and immediately spotted Bella.
Okay, so I wasn't that hard to find Bella and her family. They were the ones walking around
while everyone else gawked at them.
"I think I saw a guy drool when Bella walked by." Emmett grinned while I giggled.
Edward glared at the guy, what's new?
"You need to loosen up Eddie, and I mean it." I glared at him. I was not going to let him ruin
my shopping expedition. Emmett shook his head. "I cannot believe you got jealous just because some guy checked your ex-girlfriend out, you broke it off." "Yeah, and you didn't listen to me when I told you not to leave her, but no! It was for the best!" I imitated.
Emmett and I shook our heads in disappointment.
"You know, if it weren't for your- hey Bella's headed the other way, follow her!" Emmett
grabbed Edward and I and ran. I giggled softly. Never a dull moment with my family around. They're the best.
Bella's POV :
"How can someone so tiny have so much energy?" Joe muttered as we followed Miley from store to store.
I shrugged. "She's half mom."
"Oh yeah. I remember when I went to visit her, and she went shopping with all her friends as they all went on and on about how adorable I was." Joe grimaced.
about fishing trips?"
"Yep." Joe said, popping the 'p'.
"Man did you guys have interesting lives." Adrian laughed.
I snickered. "Was that when I was up with dad, throwing tantrums about fishing trips?"
"Yep." Joe said, popping the 'p'.
"Man did you guys have interesting lives." Adrian laughed.
"Correction. We do have interesting lives." I smirked. "Partly because of what we are, partly
because of our status in the entertainment world, and partly because you guys are my family."
Adrian laughed and bumped his shoulder against mine.
"I love you too sis."
"Whatever."
"Hey guys! There's a sale at Burberry!" Miley shrieked.
I laughed. Let the fabulous, yet insane, day with my family continue.
"Yes! Fresh air!" Joe inhaled deeply. "Shut up! That was fun. Wasn't Als!" Miley said brightly as we stuffed everything in the car and headed toward Barnes and Noble.
"Um...Sure?" I answered.
Joe snorted. Stupid biological brother.
"Humph." Miley pouted.
"She got that from our mom." Joe told Nina.
Nina giggled. "She sounded like an interesting person."
Miley smiled. "She was."
"Yeah. She was the one who named Miley." I smiled.
Joe and I were named by Charlie, so we got relatively normal names. Miley on the other hand,
was named by Renee, was you can probably tell. I mean Miley isn't the most common name in the world. But Miley loved her name. It made her stand out and it made her unique. Just like mom. Which made sense, out of all of us, Miley was the most like mom.
"Yes. No more shoes or skirts." Joe grinned as we entered Barnes and Noble.
I laughed. My family rocks!
Once in Barnes and Noble we all went our separate ways. Joe headed toward the Action/Adventure section. Miley went toward Romance while Brandi
settled for Mystery and Nina was browsing the Best Sellers section. Adrian and I went upstairs to the Literature section with our common interests in books.
One of the many things we have in common. "Hey Als. How about this one?" Adrian smirked and held up a book. Dracula. You have got to be kidding me.
"No. I am not kidding you my favorite sister." Adrian laughed.
I glared at my brother, then at the book. Well, I've never actually read the book, but come on!
Everybody knows how it ends! And there's the fact that my ex-boyfriend is a vampire and is the opposite of Dracula, but still...
"Come on Als, you don't actually have to read it. Just buy it for kicks." Adrian said.
My pursed my lips in thought and stubbornness.
"Fine. But I'm not reading it." I said."
Adrian smiled. "We'll see." Then reached out and started to tickle me. I let out a yelp. Family, they might get on your nerves, but they provide awesome entertainment!
Alice's POV:
"Aw! That's so cute!" I whispered as I watched Adrian and Bella, copies of books in their hands.
"I want a brother like that!" I continued. I turned and glared at Edward.
"What can't you be like that?" I complained. It can't be that hard to be nice to your sister!
"I thought I was your favorite sister!" I pouted.
Edward rolled his eyes.
"You are, you just are ten times more annoying than the average sister."
"Yeah, and your my favorite sister by default," Emmett turned to glare at Edward, "because I have no other sister!" I shook my head. "Poor Emmett. You see, what you did Edward? Emmett here was forced to
choose me as his favorite sister because he had no other choice. Now, not that I'm not a
fabulous sister but, Bella could've been his favorite sister!"
Edward snorted. "Hey! Don't laugh. She's right you know. Because of your stupid plan to keep her safe, we had to leave and I loss Bella!" Emmett said.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Edward when will you ever learn?" I said, smirking.
"Yeah and-"
Emmett was cut off by Bella's shriek as Adrian tickled her.
Aw! That is a solid 10 on the cuteness scale.
Edward clenched his jaw. I smiled brightly. This day is moving along fabulously!
