Chapter Twenty Six – Girls in Trouble

So I got this chapter out pretty early!

I want to thank SUNFLOWER3759 for helping me with this story :)

So, I hope you all like it!

All things Twilight belong to STEPHENIE MEYER!

The days after Angie arrived seemed to pass by quickly, but the first week she was here was definitely the worst. Green eyes and I helped her whenever we could, but I could barely stay in the same room with her because she looked so frail and I couldn't stand seeing her like that. Ben stayed with her through everything and that made me realize that he would be good for her. I knew had to make sure that they got together somehow, even if Green eyes thought it wasn't a good idea; I knew I needed to make it happen.

It took Angie a month to recover although she will never be 100% better she will have to work on staying clean for the rest of her life, but she says the urges to use are a lot easier to fight, with all of us helping her. I think it also helps having her family with her also. About a week ago she begged me to get Green eyes to let them stay in the pool house with her.

"Please Bells, I know it hasn't been long since I stopped using, but they need me." She looked up at me pleading with her eyes, "I need them too."

She stuck her bottom lip out and there was a low groan across the room, which made me smirk. I hugged her tightly, "Of course they can stay."

She sighed and looked down, "Will Edward be okay with it? You know I hate asking, he has already done so much for me."

"Angie it will be no problem." Edward was definitely going to have a problem with this, he hated people he didn't know invading his personal space.

"Thanks Bells." It took a lot of convincing from me, but eventually Green eyes gave in. The trip to Victoria's Secret helped a lot…and I am not complaining.

After Angie's mom and her rugrat brothers moved in the house turned into chaos. Green eyes stayed at the company most of the time, he just couldn't handle having all these people here. I on the other hand was at the house all day every day. There was just too much to do here with all these living in the house and because of these arrangements we never got to see each other.

I was mopping up some weird green gunk that was crusted onto the floor when there was a pounding on the door. "Can somebody get that?" I shouted, I was not in the mood this morning, I just wanted to get this house cleaned before Green eyes got home and had a fit. The pounding on the door started again and with a defeated sigh I set the mop down and went to the door. "Can I help you?"

I peeked out the window that was by the door, like Green eyes told me to do and there was a man at the door. There stood a man wearing a suite and looking quite harmless so I opened the door, "Hello Miss Swan." I gasped and slammed the door shut only to be stopped by his hand holding it open. "You didn't let me introduce myself," He said pushing the door open all the way, "I'm Alistair, your bodyguard." I let out a relieved breath and moved out of the way so he could enter. "There's one thing you need to learn first Miss Swan."

I lifted my brow at the audacity of this man, "Oh really and what would that be?"

"Don't open your door to strangers, let alone let them into your house." I rolled my eyes. I was not going to let him boss me around in my house.

"Alright, then get the hell out then!" He smirked and walked around me in the direction of the kitchen. With a frustrated growl I slammed the door closed and followed behind him. "What are you doing here? I know you're my bodyguard and all but I thought you would be more in the background and I wouldn't even know you were there."

He sat down at the table and I sat across from him. "I wanted to stop by so we could get to know each other a little better. This doesn't have to be some sort of punishment for the both of us."

"Punishment?" I knew he wasn't talking about me when he mentioned the punishment part, because I volunteered to get a bodyguard, so he must have been talking about himself.

"That's not important right now." I narrowed my eyes and he rolled his, "Fine, I'm only telling you this because I have a feeling you won't let it go." I smiled back at him, I had a feeling that this blossoming friendship was going to be a good one. "Boss told me to do something and I just couldn't, so he made me do this."

"What did he ask you to do?" He shook his head. "Fine you don't have to tell me, but why is watching over me have to be a punishment?" I asked him softly as I twisted my fingers back and forth looking down at the table.

He sighed, "You're really good at making people feel guilty, ya know that." I smirked and he rolled his eyes at me. "Well it wouldn't be for a lot of men in the organization, most of them would think of it as an honor." I felt my face heat up and he continued, "I think of it more of as a punishment because I'm used to being out in the field. I don't like to stay in one place for long periods at a time, I get too antsy." I nodded my head in understanding and he smiled back at me. "Let's try not to get in the habit of these little talks though, Boss wouldn't like it."

"Your right about that, Edward doesn't like me to know a lot about the business."

"It's understandable, if I had someone I loved as much as boss loves you I wouldn't let her anywhere near this hell." I looked away, and thought about all the times I had to force Green eyes to tell me what was going on and by the look on Alistair's face I finally understood why he keeps things from me. "Well on a lighter note, boss wants me to watch over you during the day until he gets home from work or if he has to leave on business."

"Will you be staying in the house?"

He laughed, "You couldn't pay me enough to live in this house."

"Why? It's not that bad!" I looked around and there were dirty dishes in the sink, and that goop I was cleaning up when he walking was trailed through the room, it was even on the walls. "Okay so maybe it needs a little work."

He snorted, "Yeah, work." I narrowed my eyes at him, "I won't be needed at nights."

"Oh so what exactly will you be doing?"

"I'll mostly just follow you around when you leave the house. Boss wanted your opinion if you wanted me far away, like an outta sight out of mind type of thing. Or if you would like me closer, like a babysitter type of deal."

I growled, "I am a 22 year old woman Alistair, it insults me if you're implying that I need a babysitter!"

He smirked, "I wasn't implying, I was just asking. So which one would it be?"

For some reason he was trying to rile me up and get me to choose the latter option, but I had another thing coming for him, "Hmmm, I think I need you by my side." He looked shocked, "This will take so much stress away from me and plus this way I wouldn't have to stress about trivial things like which color blouse looks the best with my completion." I stood up from the table, "And another thing I won't have to worry about is cleaning this horrid mess up."

"Oh no lady, this was not part of the arrangement."

I stood in the doorway and turned towards him, "I know it wasn't, but you think you could just come in here and bully me into making decisions on what best suits you and you alone. Well I don't think so buddy, the mop's right over there." I didn't stay and listen to what he had to say and walked out the back door and sat on one of the benches.

This whole bodyguard thing seemed like it was going to be a lot more drama than it needed to be. Why couldn't Alistair be like one of those hard asses in the movies? Alistair is only looking out for himself and doesn't care about anything else besides keeping me safe and out of his way. Looking up into the sky I remembered the night Green eyes and I spent laying out here under the stars, I wish we could go back to that night. I miss having my Green eyes with me, "Hey what are you doing out here?"

I gasped startled and looked up to her, "What are you doing here Rose? Em's going to freak once he realizes you left the house."

She rolled her eyes at me and sat next to me on the bench, "I needed to get out of that house, it's driving me crazy." Since learning Rose was pregnant Em went a little…okay a lot over protective and wouldn't let Rose leave the house. He was afraid something would happen to her, which was a little crazy if you asked me. Rose's body has changed a lot since the last time I saw her. Now her stomach was a little rounder and her face was a little fuller. "What are you looking at?"

I laughed, "You look good Rose, pregnancy suits you."

She rolled her eyes, "Don't tell Em that, he'll want me to say pregnant forever and I don't think I could handle being in that house for the rest of my life." We both laughed. "I really want to do something fun today!" She said standing up.

I sighed and shook my head, "Um, I don't know Rose, if something were to happen…"

She rolled her eyes and tugged my arm until I was standing next to her. "Come on Bells," She stuck the lip out and I was a goner. I nodded my head and she squealed.

"Shhh!" I said as I placed my hand over her mouth, "My new bodyguard is in the house and if we are going to leave, I want to do it without him." She nodded her head and we started to walk around the house.

"What the hell are you doing?" I jumped, thinking we were busted until I turned around and looking into the brown eyes of my best friend. "You are not leaving without me." Angie said with a hand on her hip.

I smiled, "What are you waiting for? Get in." She giggled and hopped in the back seat. I started the car up and we drove off down the road, "So where are we going?"

I glanced over at Rose and she smiled as she rubbed her stomach, "I'm hungry."

I smirked and looked back to the road, "I know where we could go."

It was a short distance away so we were there in minutes. "Oh god I wish I thought to go here first. It's going to be weird to be a customer for once."

We walked through the doors and sat down at the table Green eyes and his brothers always sat when they came here. We didn't have to wait long before the small black haired waitress scurried over to our table. "Does Em know you're not in your cage?" Rose scoffed and her, "And you…why the hell didn't you come into work the past week?"

I smacked myself, "Oh Ally, everything has been so stressful. Has everything here been running smoothly?"

She sighed and sat down next to me. "Jacob's been helping out a lot, so it hasn't been that bad." I hugged her, "So what would you gals like to eat?"

After we gave her our orders she sat with us and we all talked about everything that was going on in our lives and once the food was ready she ate with us. "What are you doing later Ali?" Angie asked her as she finished off her soup, I was so relieved that my friends were getting along so well together, it's like we have known each other for years.

"Hmmm absolutely nothing, my shift is technically over too." She said as she looked down at her watch.

"I have an idea of what we could do then." Ang said slowly, making me little hesitant.

"Angie are you sure you're up to it, it hasn't been long since you've been in recovery."

"I'm up to it Bells. Please, I need to get this off of my chest if I want to get better."

I sighed, "What is it you want to do?"

"I need to get something back that was taken from me."

I got a bad feeling and I didn't like where this little plan of Angie's was going but before I could protest at all she jumped up from the booth and grabbed the car keys that were on the table and bolted for the door, "Anyone coming?" She said as she ran out the door. Before we could even discuss it Rose and Alice were out the door. Rolling my eyes I reluctantly followed behind them. "So what's the plan now?" I said as I sat in the back seat next to Rose.

"Once we get there I'll explain everything." I looked over towards Rose and she seemed fine so I decided to let loose and live in the moment, well that was until Angie stopped the car in the back parking lot of The Dawn Night Club. "Now before you say anything, I'm going to do this with or without you."

"You're not going in there! It's not safe!" I was starting to panic, Aro Volturi owned this club, before he died.

"I just need to go in there and get some peace Bells, please I really need to get this off my chest so I can get over it and move on with my life." She said as she looked at me desperately.

"You're not going in there alone." She nodded her head, "And you're definitely not going in there," I said looking at Rose, "If something happens to you Em would kill us all."

"I'm only agreeing to this because you're probably right." She laughed, "But I'm not staying in this car alone."

I looked over at Alice and she was shaking her head at me, "No way, I want to be in on this action!"

"Please Alice, I need Bella with me for this!"

Alice groaned and was quiet for a while, "Fine but you better hurry up, this is my day off and I'm not spending it cooped up in this car all dam day!"

Angie squealed and leaned over to give her a hug, "Don't worry we'll be gone ten minutes tops, I promise!" I sighed and left the car walking behind Angie. We walked to the front of the night club and it looked innocent enough but I knew once we entered it wouldn't look the same. Angie opened the door and I followed closely behind her, there was no way I was letting her out of my sight. "The place is right through here, follow me." She said as she led me through the main room that was filled with tables and booths.

She led me to a hallway that was dimly light, "Ang, this is starting to creep me out. Where is everyone?" She stopped in front of a doorway that read private and I got a sinking feeling in my gut.

She stared at the door and whispered, "They're making renovations so it's closed down till Tuesday."

The sinking feeling in my gut intensified, "Ya know what, let's just go before anyone see's us."

I turned around to walk down the hallway but her hand stopped me from moving, "No we're already here there's no point in going back now!" I groaned as she opened the door. "It'll only take a minute," She whispered as we walked into the empty room. I stood at the doorway looking out to make sure no one was coming as she did what she needed to do.

"Hurry the hell up Ang!" This was taking way too long.

"Shut up Bella! I told you nobody is here, so calm your ass down!"

I turned towards her and narrowed my eyes, "If you're going to be rude, I'll just leave and let you fend for yourself!" She didn't pay any attention to what I said because at the next moment she gasped and smiled up at me, "Did you find what you were looking for?"

"Oh, hell yes!" I walked over to see what it was she found and it was just a bunch of random papers.

"You seriously made us come down here for this!" I shook my head and started to walk out of the room when she grabbed my hand.

"Bella, do you know what these are?"

"They're stupid papers Angie, now let's get the hell out of here!"

"They're not just any papers Bella, there incriminating ones."

She smirked and I lifted my brow, "Wait, what do you mean?"

"I need closure and the only way that I can get it is if this place is gone, forever." My eyes widened, she wanted to close the place down. If I would have known that I would have been on board from the beginning. "Now let's go, I thing I got everything."

I smiled and we ran for the door and once I got out of that creepy club I started laughing at what we just pulled off, "I seriously can't believe we just did that!" I turned and smiled at her but the smile slipped from my face, "Angie?" I looked down both sides of the street and there was no sign of her. I closed my eyes dreading what I needed to do and walked back into the club.

The place was as empty as it was when we entered. I just kept thinking that maybe she forgot one of the papers, or she fell and got hurt while we were running out. Building up the courage I walked to the hallway and started running for the room we were in before. I just wanted to get the hell out of there, but I needed to find Angie first. There was no way I was going to leave her this time. I opened the door and my heart sank, "I knew you'd come back for her. This was a stupid mistake you made Bella, one that will end your life!" He smirked at the last part.

I looked over at Angie and tears were streaming down her face as the man behind her had his hand over her mouth and a knife to her throat. I looked at her, not knowing how I could get us out of this but I didn't have to think long before I saw her bit down on the man's hand, "RUN BELLA!" She screamed.

As I turned to run I heard a loud smack, and Angie cry out in pain. "You Stupid bitch!" I gasped and froze at the door with my back turned to them. "You run and she dies." I nodded my head and turned facing them. "Now here is how it is going to go…"

So what do you all think?

Hopefully I can start updating this story once every week, but I'm not making any promises!
