Chapter 20

After a very eventful afternoon at Uni I went back to my flat to find Tasha running around my flat flinging clothing everywhere and she was singing along to ZZ Top's "Legs" while she was doing it.

I got my phone out of my bag and picked a number and it rang.

"Rosalie, it's Bella, me and Tasha are having a few drinks in the house before we go out, if you want to come down and bring some of Peter's moonshine shit and join us you are most welcome."

With that I put the phone down, flung my bag on the side and waltzed myself into my room and started taking my wardrobe apart, in the meantime Tasha had poured us some drinks and we had let the party begin.

I heard the buzzer downstairs and in I went and let Rosalie in, she came in with 3 clothing bags, and a bottle in her hand. I just stared at her.

"What, your not the only one that can party Swan"

I took the bottle off her and went to pour her a drink. I hid the bottle from Tasha...she didn't need to find that...ever.

Tasha came into the living room pouting like a child.

"I have nothing to wear" she cried

"Well its a good thing I'm beautiful and I've got great taste in clothes...also, its Casino night tonight, so I got us girls some outfits." Smirked Rosalie

Rosalie danced towards the clothing bags and pulled out three gorgeous evening gowns. A white one, a green one and a red one. She announced that the white one was for her, the red for Tasha, and the green one was for me.

My dress was backless and it fell right to the floor, the front had a sweet heart neck line and it was strapless. Rosalie's dress reminded me of Jessica Rabbits dress, with a slit up the side. She looked stunning. And Tashas, well, Rose had picked perfectly, Tashas was a one shouldered floor length gown with roses on the one strap, with her pale complextion and her bright red lipstick she looked like an A lister and all three dresses seemed to shimmer in the light.

"You can thank your big brother for these, and the shoes to go with them" Rosalie winked at me.

The three of us spent the next 3 hours getting ready, and chatting rubbish whilst drinking a fair amount, and If I didn't know any better, I'd say Rosalie was well on her way to being pissed.

As much as I was having fun, I couldn't get the fact that Edward and Alice has sided with Victoria over me. And it hurt like a bitch. But not only that, I loved him, I truly loved him and Jasper loved her and they go as far as bringing Maria into the game, knowing how Jaz fought with the consequences of her actions for all that time. I was disgusted and terrified.

Rosalie kept throwing me knowing glances as she giggled and drank with Tasha.

I got up and headed for the kitchen to get another bottle of Jack. I reached into the fridge to grab it and turned abck around to face a stern faced Rosalie draped across my kitchen bench.

"It's hard right?" she asked

"Yeah something like that" I answered

"You know, you shouldn't be worried with all these vamps and wolves at your beck and call you'll be fine" she smirked

"It's not me I'm worried about; I don't like that all these people are laying their life on the line for me and doing all these things while I'm sat in here with you getting pissed...it's not right" I huffed

"Who says this isn't part of the plan?" she smirked again "Wake up Swan, we care about you, for fucks sake I care about you, right now as we speak our men are eyeing up that little camp and finding out whats going on, with you out the way they can concentrate on that. And I'll be honest, the plan is for them to meet us later on, in their tux's and all. So put a fucking smile on your face, youve got a huge family, who all love you, the man of your dreams and an education...youve got the world at your feet. "

"just a small matter of lethal vampires trying to kill me huh?"

Rosalie stood up and walked towards me, and stood directly in front of me.

"Isabella Swan, the love of my existence is out trying to save your life...and I'm not worried, I'm in here getting pissed with you. Nothing is going to happen"

So with that over and done, we headed back to the living room to finish our drinks and get ready to head to the union.

As we sat there, the front door opened and in walked Paul. He was wearing a suit and hat to match.

"Ladies, your chariot awaits" he smirked

All us three girls looked at each other and giggles

"Paul, whats going on" Rose asked

"Just get yourselves downstairs, I've got a surprise for you" he said

We got our things together and headed down the stairwell as we got to the front door it opened and there lining the pavement were Jake and Sam, and behind them three black shiny two seater Maserati's.

Rose coughed and spluttered and nearly fell over.

"where the fuck did they come from" she managed to splutter out

"A present from Mr Whitlock and Mr Hale" came Pauls voice from behind us

Tasha was speechless. She just stood, mouth agape watching the over grown men saunter towards her.

"Can I pick my driver?" she whispered

"Of course" Paul smirked

"I'm taking the one on the left" she whispered back

And by the one on the left she meant Sam.

All three men escorted us to the cars, and my driver was Jake.

He helped me into the car and shut the door, he moved around the front of the car and got in next to me.

"Well, Miss Swan, Where'l it be?"

"The Casino please driver" I laughed at him

Jake set off and we made our way to the Union bar to play 007 all night.
