Hey Y'all - I own nothing!
Some special notes: I am working on a collaboration with My Beta, Twilightmommyof4girls- Interview with a Vampire. It is an interactive story and we need questions to ask the Cullens and/or Jacob Black on TV. Like for example:
Patty from St. Louis ( I turn and wave to the crowd, excitedly, while thinking 'I'm so nervous and God, Edward Cullen looks even better than I could of ever imagined.')
Patty asks: Why is it that all you Cullen men are so Freaking gorgeous and is it true that you only can only have one mate for your entire existence?
Or even better-
Patty asks: Edward, why were you such a freaking bastard to just up and leave Bella like that in the woods? Were you crazy? I know what your excuse was, but really, how could you do that?

It was decided by everyone that it would be easier to get all three of us, Rose, Alice and I, out of the hotel at the same time. That way none of us would be singled out being the center of attention. I was not looking forward to seeing either one of them right now.
I had promised Edward I would be on my best behavior, until we got out of the hotel, and everyone's spying eyes. He told me that they would be looking into everything, and if they could exploit even a little fight between the three of us girls, they would. Essentially, I had no need to add fuel to the fire.
The door alarm beeped, and Kate walked into the room as she carried a bag that overflowed with items. She deposited the bag on a chair and started to pass me a change of clothes, sunglasses and a hat. It was confirmed by pictures already leaked on the internet, since I had been here, that a change of clothes would be a needed distraction. I excused myself to the bathroom, first taking off my jeans and putting on a pair of black yoga pants. After I swapped out my tops, I was pulling my hair up in a ponytail as I heard a knock at the door, and people being ushered into the room.
Pressing my ear up to the door I started to hear familiar voices.
Emmett and Jasper were discussing strategy with Kate about our exit, and Rose and Alice were talking to Edward, right outside the bathroom door.
How convenient.
"How mad is she?" Alice asked. Her voice was a little distorted, but I could tell her soprano speaking anywhere.
"She's better," Edward said.
"Better than what?" Rose asked, her voice a mix between curiosity and annoyance.
"Better than last night," he answered.
"Well, duh. When she left the parking lot, I'm pretty sure she was pissed, so anything is better than that," Rose said.
"Yeah, but I mean she was better when I saw her last night, after the prom," he said.
Why did he have to go tell them that?
"What?" Alice shrieked. I could hear the excitement in her tone.
Some footsteps got closer to the door, so I stepped back, not wanting to give up my snooping opportunities just yet.
"Yep, after the prom, I went back to your house and we talked a little, that's why she's here now. So we could finish our ….discussion." I could hear the amusement in his voice as he said the last word. He chuckled and I heard heavy footsteps leave the vicinity.
"So how pissed do you think she is? You know how she likes to hold a grudge," Alice asked.
I do not hold grudges.
Yes you do.
Well not that long.
Yes you do.
Okay fine, maybe a little, but those were deserved.
If you say so.
Fine!
"Well she sounded pretty p.o.'d on the phone, so I am sure we'll get her wrath sooner or later," Rose said, finishing it off with a snort.
Yeah, you will get my wrath. Don't you worry.
Or maybe you should.
"Do you think she'll let us explain?" Alice said. Her voice becoming softer, as she must have been walking away from the door.
"I don't know…" Rose answered barely.
I heard as both of them were greeted by the others in the front room.
I turned around and focused again on my hair as I looked in the mirror. I stood there staring at myself for the longest time. I would take all me hair up and pull on the cap. I looked like a fool, so I would take it all down and try again. Pulling myself up close to see my reflection, I was wondering what he found so special.
I'm not that pretty.
I have dull brown hair and eyes.
I'm short.
My skin is pasty looking.
I had a chest that barely sports a B cup.
My body had about as many curves as the males I went to school with.
All of this only left me with one conclusion:
There is obviously something wrong with him.
Yeah, beside him being perfect.
I gave up on my hair after three attempts, and I decided to brave it and go out to greet the wolves. Taking a deep breath, I opened the door and turned off the lights. I made sure to put my sunglasses on top of my hat so I would not forget them with all the confusion I was sure would be forthcoming. I made sure to take gentle steps into the room, my arrival was unpredicted.
Standing by the doorway, I watched as Rose had her arm wrapped around Emmett's waist and he held her close to him. Alice was backed into Jasper's chest, while he perched his head down on her shoulder as he talked to Kate. Edward had been sitting on the couch, until he saw me and then stood up, making his way over towards me.
"Are you okay," he whispered in my ear before lowering his head a little farther to nibble on my skin at the junction of my ear and neck.
This little action alone sends shivers down my spine, and he always used that to his advantage.
I reached over and took his hand in mine, as I gave it a gentle squeeze I answered him, "Yep."
We walked over toward the others still hand in hand. I kept my sights on Kate, since I felt four sets of prying eyes attempt to vie for my attention. I gave them no satisfaction by keeping my face as emotionless as possible.
"Okay Bella, I was just telling them that I am take the three of you down on the service elevators and escort you through the kitchen to get all of you out the delivery entrance. Okay?" Kate said. She offered me a small smile as a show of support.
I just nodded to agree.
"So …what do we do if and when we get asked questions about all of us, or our relationships?" Rose asked to the crowd while she darted her eyes to each one of us as confirmation.
Jasper locked his blue eyes with hers. "We have already talked to Elezar, our agent and Carmen, who handles all of our public relations. And.."
"And we told them that we are not going to deny anything Baby. The three of us," Emmett said while nodding at Jasper and Edward. "Are going to be releasing a statement tomorrow confirming that the three of us lucky men are indeed in relationships with the likes of you three beautiful women."
Edward pulled me in tighter to him as his brother finished up his statement.
"Will that keep them satisfied enough to leave us alone?" Alice asked, her voice was tense and anxious.
It was Edward that answered this time. "No. Probably not, but at least it will help keep the rumor mongering to a minimum to start with."
Alice chuckled out loud nervously. "Then what do we do?" she asked.
Jasper twirled Alice around, he looked her straight in the eyes. "Nothing Darling. This is just how the game works. We just try not to give them anything to report. After a while it will all die down and then we should have some peace."
'Some peace.' Just some?
"Some …peace?" I squeaked out loud. Really just thinking that to myself.
"Love, everything will be fine. I promise you. Even if I have to steal you and run away, I will," Edward confided to me, as he stepped right behind me, wrapped both arms around my waist and pulled me into him.
"You promise? Cause I'll hold you to that Mr. Cullen," I said, playfully. I rubbed my cheek with his and exaggerated the motion.
Edward moaned. "God Bella, I love it when you call me Mr. Cullen."
I swatted him with my arm.
"Yes, I swear. I will not let anything happen to you. I promise," he finished.
Did any of this really make me feel any better?
Ahhhhhh. No.
From hereon out, my life as I knew it was over. I was no longer, Isabella Swan, daughter of Charles and Renee, twin sister to Rosalie, and senior at Forks High School. I was know going to be known as Bella Swan- Edward Cullen's(voted People magazines-one of the most sexiest men alive) girlfriend.
Holy shit!!!!
Gone were the secret rendezvous after he picked me up from school. The quick dinner dates in my hometown, with him all disguised. And the wonderful slumber parties over at the Brandon household.
Don't take away the slumber parties.
Yeah, but what about when Mom and Dad find out through the media that you are sleeping with Edward Cullen, even though your really just sleeping with him, nothing more?
Okay, I can answer that simple equation. Dad + gun= dead Edward.
Got it.
The boys walked us to the door and we all said our goodbyes. None of us wanted to let go.
Edward peppered my face with kisses and finally gave me my proper send off with a kiss unlike any other. The kind that even made my toes curl.
God I love this man.
As I left the hotel room, I walked down the hall backwards towards the elevator, afraid that if I broke the trance, I would have to face the reality of what was to come.
Leaving him.
Seeing all the paparazzi.
Dealing with the paparazzi.
Being in a confined space with Rose and Alice.
Dealing out my wrath on Rose and Alice.
Right now I think the paparazzi stood a better chance of seeing me all nice and shit, than my sister and best friend did.
I blew him a final send off kiss as I stood next to Kate and my sister. He just smiled and grabbed at the air and put my imaginary kiss to his lips.
The doors closed and we started to descend, towards our exit.
The elevator ride was uncomfortable to say the least. I stood there, stoic, not wanting to seem indecisive. I wanted to appear strong, immune, angry.
I guess they understood and made no attempts to talk to me. Both of them would either shift nervously or play with their hands.
The doors opened to a long hallway. The floor was cement and the walls were a two toned color of brown and beige. Kate stepped out first, and motioned for the three of us to follow. I went out second, with Rose behind me and Alice bringing up the rear. None of us made a sound, I guess due to the fear that none of us had any idea what was to be awaiting us once the doors opened.
Going through the galley of the hotel's kitchen garnered all of us some curious looks. The few people in the kitchen, head chef's I presume, only nodded and allowed our passage.
Standing at the double doors were Felix and Demetri, the boys' personal body guards. I had no idea why they needed to be down here since all we were going to be doing was heading to Alice's car and then go straight home.
"Have you checked out there yet?" Kate asked the two men, once we came closer.
"No. We didn't want to alert them to our plan. If they had seen either one of us opening the door we would probably have over a hundred people out there," Felix said.
"We did have Miss Brandon's car parked across the street. A valet is standing guard," Demetri said, nodding towards Alice.
She would have a heart attack if anyone would of left the keys in the ignition, and the car unlocked, primed and ready to be stolen.
Kate turned around to face the three of us. "Okay, you'll follow Felix out to the car and Demetri will follow. Just keep your head down, sunglasses on and everything should be fine. Okay?"
None of us said anything, we just nodded. I looked at both my sister and Alice, and even though I was totally pissed off at the both of them, I gave them a small, scared smile.
The doors opened and I immediately followed Felix out. I looked behind me and noticed that Rose and Alice had interlocked their arms and Demetri trailed right behind.
The first footsteps I took out on the sidewalk was a mistake. Awaiting us was over thirty photographers and other paparazzi, and camera people.
"There they are," someone shouted out to the crowd.
Crap.
The next thing I knew, we were swarmed by another fifty or so people, mostly fans who have come to let us know what they thought of us dating the Cullen Brothers.
Note to self: Not good.
Felix had stepped back and ushered the three of us forward, while him and Demetri pushed back the screaming girls that were rushing towards us.
Flashes were going off all around us, people were screaming out questions left and right. Microphones were being forced in our faces, all while I was trying to concentrate on making it across the street, unscathed.
"Bella, is it true that you are dating Edward Cullen?"
"Rose, how do you feel about being the rebound person to Iriana?"
"Alice, how are you able to even kiss Jasper, with your height difference?"
"Bella, did you know that Edward and Tanya are still supposedly romantically involved?"
"How did you all meet?"
"Were you the three friends from the night of the concert or are you the new flavors of the month?"
I stopped when I heard that one, and in doing so was my ultimate demise. Rose and Alice slammed in to me and I fell forward. Luckily I did not land on anyone else.
Yeah, lucky for them, horrible for me.
While I was flying downwards, all that could be seen was flashes of light and the mixing of colors. I reached out my hand to break my fall, but only ended up with a injured hand and forearm, as it skimmed the asphalt.
That's gonna hurt.
Apparently I did trip a couple of reporters, since they were all trying to get the bank shot of Edward's girl taking a nosedive.
At least I took a couple out on my way down.
That was until they trampled and fell right on top of me, forcing the weight of a good couple hundred pounds back on my head.
Who knew it could be this dangerous dating a celebrity?
Fu…..
And then everything went black.
