A/N: Hey guys, Was on one last holiday with family for the holiday, we go back to school in a week. *Sad Face* I suppose it'll put me back into routine though.

Well I go back to work next week as well so that'll slow me down even more and then mum's paying me to clean the house once a week so... I'll probably only update once a week with long chapters... I hope... I'll try, I promise.

Well that's all from me this time, sorry for interrupting your precious reading time.

Xoxo

P.S. I'll love you all a little more depending on reviews! Xxx

Bella's POV

Knowing Edward was only one tent over from me made me rise early every day, and that in its self made it known that I must really like Edward. I was not an early riser unless it was absolutely necessary.

It was the day of Alice's birthday... Oh joy! (Note the sarcasm.) If you though Mary-Alice Brandon was bossy every day, then you would be shocked today. It was possible to be even bossier than Alice on a usual day, though I don't think anyone but Alice could reach those heights.

I loved Alice to pieces; however today was one of the few days I wish I could throttle her. On Alice's birthday she was bossy because it was her day, anyone's birthday she was bossy, ( but she wasn't too bad unless it was mine or someone very close to her.) it was Christmas and New Years she was bad because that was about her and everyone close to her.

"Bella it's time to get up!" Alice hollered gripping the thin material and shaking it.

"Okay, okay. I'm coming give me 10 minutes to get dressed." I sighed my bubble was now burst and I wouldn't be able to create a new one until the very early hours of the next day.

Today I had to wear my brave face and tolerate Alice and anyone she talking to her to I. (mostly to real Alice in.)

"Alice did you really have to wake every one up! It's 6 o'clock in the morning!" I heard Emmett groan from next door. I giggled, I was glad I wasn't the only one being dragged from sleep by the evil pixie.

"Emmett quit moaning it's her birthday and I've already been for a run so you're just being a lazy couch potato!" Edward sound far too chipper for this hour in the morning though hearing his voice did cheer me up. A longer day means a longer day with Edward.

Ugh, even I wouldn't take Edward over sleep at this god awful hour in the morning, but only if I could still have him later.

I climbed out of my ten in tight denim shorts and a white vest top. Today was going to be full of work that was going to get me dirty and sweaty so there was no point in getting dressed up until later.

I grabbed the three suit cases which were filled with different coloured decorations and slung them into Sylvia's car. I pulled my iPod out and plugged my head phones in turning the music up loud in attempt of staying awake. I waved at everyone who seemed to be crawling along the floor with lack of sleep.

I went to my tent grabbed the receipt for the cake, I went straight to Esme knowing she'd get it done. Sylvia was otherwise occupied my mum was far too flighty she'd probably forget and I wasn't sure whether I could trust Lillian because I didn't really know her all that well.

"Hey Esme," I yawned pulling out one of my head phones. "Can you do me a favour?" I asked batting my eye lashes. She nodded smirking at my antics. "Can you pickup Alice's cake, she doesn't know about it. Somehow in her flurry of party planning she forgot to get a cake and she still hasn't realised yet..." I knew I was rambling but I was worried Esme would say no. I know how stupid of me!

"Of course dear, now hurry along before you get hunted for being late!" Esme laughed as I scurried off hoping Alice wouldn't be mad that I was behind schedule.

"Ther you are!" Alice nearly screamed from behind me. "Where were you?" she ordered an answer out of me.

"Ugh... I had a bad hair day; I was trying to fix it." I motioned to my hair knowing it was a mess because I hadn't brushed it so I had a little extra time to talk to Esme.

"Well it doesn't look any better! Did you even brush ii?" She didn't wait for an answer she just turned and got in the car. I plugged my other head phone back in again so I didn't have to listen to Alice's self obsessed natter on the way to the venue. I was pissed off at Alice's comment, I was doing this all for her, and the least she could do is appreciate it and try to be nice or she'll end up decorating the hall by herself. I'd already given up a day with Edward and my lie in I wasn't about to hand myself respect in as well.

When the car stopped I jumped out and grabbed all the cases and bags, in total there were 4 cases and 3 rucksacks full of party things. Alice didn't even attempt to help she just inspected the area expecting her personal assistant to do all the heavy lifting for her. I heaved all of the bags up the steps to the front door only to find the venue Alice had rented was on the third floor and the building didn't have an elevator. I gritted my teeth and bared the extra effort and sweat, don't even ask about the bruises the friction burns and the numb hands and arms. You do that and there will be no Alice for us to celebrate her birthday.

The area I walked into looked more like a ballet studio than a party venue. I immediately erased any memory of thinking that before I said it out loud and upset the birthday girl.

"So you're going to hang fairy lights out on the balcony and carpet in here so it looks more like a party venue. Could you do the fairy light within the hour? I don't mind when the carpet is laid that doesn't affect us decorating as long as we know where the dance floor and DJ will be." Alice finished smiling the poor man's dismissal.

"Thank you!" I said for Alice. I turned waiting for Alice's next instruction.

"Right let's get decorating!" Alice smiled clapping her hands together. More like let's watch Bella decorate while I instruct her and fault everything she does. Then later after we've done that we can belittle her looks my flaunting my own and saying how she could improve her look. Oh, I was getting worked up already and it hadn't even happened yet.

Last year was easy I was far too shy and scared of losing her as a friend to say anything. This year I know I can make new friends and that I don't need Alice there pushing me every step of the way.

After three hours of decoration the main hall we moved to the balcony where all of the fairy lights hung, strung so daintily across each fence making it look like a magical fairy land. I knew I was going to be spending most of the party out here on the balcony staying away from all imposing and instructive Alice.

I quickly climbed up the ladder wanting the decorating done as fast as possible. I started hanging the first decoration when the criticism started and this time I couldn't grin and bear it.

"No Bella it has to be hung loosely and it's going in the wrong direction!" I let the pink tinsel flutter to the ground before I harshly climbed down the ladder making a loud clattering noise. There had been a problem with everything I had done today; I'm surprised she hadn't told me of bout breathing yet. Alice hadn't hung a single decoration herself it was time she learnt how...

"Well then Alice you want it perfect do it yourself I'm done. I've had enough of being treated like crap I'm going back to the camp site; I'll see you later at the party." I immediately pulled my phone out, phoning my dad to come and pick me up.

Ten minutes later I was in the car on my way back to the camp site. I could see a very grumpy Alice staining to reach the places she wasn't tall enough to reach. I was but I didn't feel bad about it, because she'd treated me like crap all day.

I got back to campo and immediately went to find Edward. "Edward I'm going to take a nap would you join me?" I asked I always had trouble sleeping knowing he was only two tents away.

"Sure," He smiled following me back to my tent where we both curled up and went to sleep in each other's arms.

A/N: What did you think of Bossy Alice? I actually have a friend like her. We used to be really close but when we hit high school we grew apart... mostly because I couldn't stand her attitude. I reacted a lot worse than Bella did and after that we were never the same.

Well until next time my lovely readers.
