Chapter 3 - Jingle Bells.

--

Inside the club the music was blaring, the dance floor was packed and people were having a brilliant time. I should have been one of them, but my mind was still reeling.

Alice.

Alice?

Alice!

It cant have been her, I must be seeing things. What the hell would she be doing here? The Cullen's had moved from Forks years ago, why would she be hanging around here now? Maybe they've moved back?

I was knocked from my thoughts as Asher pulled me past the velvet rope to the VIP area. Tonight was supposed to be fun and all I was doing was making myself feel weird. I told myself not to think about it again but as I sat down, a glass of champagne twisted into one hand, I couldn't stop thinking about Edward. He might be here too.

"Im gonna go dance." I shouted to Asher over the music. He looked at me strangely for a moment before slipping my hand free of his. "Your not coming?" I knew the answer but I had to ask anyway.

"Nah babe, gotta talk to Jay. Its business." He smiles and winks as usual, business isn't to be discussed when Im there, Im too simple to understand it. I know that really they just talk about girls, booze and drugs, but I wont destroy their little secret.

I stumble past back past the velvet rope, feeling just a little bit unstable in my heels. Ill take them off later, right now I have something to do. I have to see whether I did see Alice, or if my mind is just playing tricks on me. Its happened a few times now. Ill be walking through town and Ill think I see Rosalie, but when I look again she's gone. Sometimes it was one of the others, Carlisle and Esme appear together, and Emmett has been in my apartment sometimes. Alice is there most of the time thought, sometimes with Jasper but mostly just alone. But the one person I want to see is never there. Edward has disappeared even in my mind it seems.

As I trail across the dance floor people try to get me to dance but I brush them off, fighting to get tot ht other side as quick as I can. When I finally make it across the dance floor I run to the door and look at the cue. She's not there, but if she was really there she might have gone in by now. "Carl, you've been here all night haven't you?" I ask the nearest doorman.

"Yeah Iss, you need something?" He drawls, his strong southern accent making it almost impossible to understand him.

"I need to know if a girl went in. she's about my height with short brown hair, kinda sticks out. Have you seen her? Her names Alice if that helps too."

He scans the list of people that have gone in with his finger and stops about halfway down. "Alice Davidson?" I shake my head and he continues. "Alice Mathews?" Another shake. "Alice Cullen?"

"Yes! Yes that's her. How long ago did she go in? Has she left yet?"

"She went in just after you. Is she trouble? I can get her out if you want?"

"No its fine Carl, she's just an old friend. Did anyone go in with her?"

"Tall blonde guy. Hang on a sec." He looked over the list again and pointed to another name. "Edward Cullen."

My heart skips a beat as I look at the list again. Sure enough, there it is. He's here. "Thanks." My voice is shaky but I manage a normal smile. He nods his head at me and turns back to the cue of people still waiting. I mouth to them that Im sorry and then ran back inside. The music thumped in my ears but it doesn't seem as loud as before. Maybe Im just not listening properly.

I walk back onto the dance floor, looking over everyone to see if I can spot Alice or Edward. They should stick out in here being so pale, but I cant see them anywhere. After a few more minutes I give up and head to the bar.

"Pete!" I shout, leaning on the bar as usual. "I feel like something different today, what would you recommend?" I smile and twirl my hair round on my finger. I know he likes me, he's liked me since he started working here. Of course he wouldn't say anything about it, wanting the Boss's girl isn't usually seen as a good thing. But he always smiles that little bit more and takes the time to talk to me and get to know me, unlike anyone else here. Everyone else just thinks Im annoying and not worth the time, but he thinks more of me.

"How about…" He stops for a moment, smiling as he thinks about it. "Ill make a new one, just for you Bell's." He's also the only one who doesn't call me Iss, like Asher does. He knows me well enough to know I hate that nickname.

"Can I name it?"

"Of course." He started pouring different amounts from bottles into a shaker and I watched, trying to work out what everything was. He filled it then with ice and put the lid on. "You wanna shake it?"

"Ill probably end up shaking it across people." I laughed as he handed it to me.

"Nah you wont. Come round here and Ill show you how to do it properly."

He took my hand and led me along the bar to where it lifted to let me through. Id never been behind the bar before, except when people weren't actually here. It felt weird and I could see people looking at me, people who didn't know who I was. With Pete holding onto me still, god knows what they're thinking, but I really don't care. We walked back along the bar to where he left the shaker and he gave it to me again.

"I cant do it." I laughed as he looked at me expectantly.

"Sure you can. Its like this." He brought his arms up around me and his hands were on mine. "You just shake it. Its easy." He started to shake it, with me just stood there in the middle not doing anything but laughing.

"Can I name it now?" I said as he started to pour it into two glasses. He was obviously having one too.

"Yep. It has to have your name in it thought, that's the rules."

"What's in it?" That would help me with a name.

But he wouldn't tell me, he just smiled. "It's a secret."

"Alright, but don't be trying to poison me." I smiled too and looked at the shimmering liquid in my glass. "Jingle Bells!" I laughed. "It looks Christmassy." I picked up the glass and watched the ice swim through it all, it really did look magical.

"Jingle Bells." He laughed as he raised his glass to mine. I took a sip to see if it was nice, and absolutely loved it.

"You should go dance, I need to get back to work."

"Can I serve too? It looks fun!" Ok so maybe the drink was having a quick effect, I never usually thought it looked fun. Everyone always said how horrible it was, serving all these drinks but not being bale to have one themselves. But this way, I would see Alice when she came to get a drink. If she came to get a drink that is. From here I could pretty much see everyone anyway so I would eventually see her.

"Ok, but if Asher comes over you have to hide."

"Ok." I turned towards the people stood waiting to be served, and then I realised something. I didn't actually know what I was doing. "Pete?"

He smiled, already knowing what I was asking. "Just pull that, the name of the drink is on it too so you wont get confused. If they want cocktails ask me."

"Ok."

It turned out to be easier than I thought, and I even managed to make a few cocktails. I had help from Pete, but no one complained about them like I thought they would. And I have to admit it is good fun being back here with Pete, more fun than just sitting looking pretty for Asher.

I was getting more ice when I heard someone behind me waiting. "Hi, what can I get you?" I said as I turned around, then froze. "Alice?"

"I need to talk to you." She said, tipping her head and looking towards the side door of the bar. I shuffled along to where Pete was stood and stood on my tiptoes so I could talk without anyone else hearing. "This might sound really weird, but I just need to go back there for a second." I pointed towards the door and he nodded, though he looked confused. "I need to talk to someone, in private."

"Ok, just don't let Asher see you." He continued making a drink as I shuffled back along the bar, grabbing Alice's hand as I moved towards the door. She ducked under the barrier and followed me, closing it behind her.

"What the hell are you doing here Alice? No, forget that, how the hell did you know I was here?"

"I had to see you, I need to tell you something."

"Well tell me then. I cant stay back here long, Asher will wonder where I am."

"You cant go back to him!" Her outburst scared me a little. I always thought she was so quiet, this was a different side to her I had never seen before.

"Why not?"

"You just cant Bella, you don't know him." Did she look scared?

"What? I don't know him? Alice, Ive been with him for 3 years, I know him ok. You're the one that doesn't know him."

"He's not who you think he is, you need to stay away from him." She paused, noticing obviously that I wasn't listening. "Ive seen something."

"Your visions change, and how do I know…"

"Ive seen it a lot recently, Rosalie has too. Its doesn't change Bella, and Im scared."

"Since when does Rosalie have visions?"

"That's not the point right now, you just cant stay with him, you have to come with me now."

"Why?! What did you see Alice?"

"He hurts you. Badly. And its happens soon, I cant let you go back to him." She grabbed hold of my hand and started pulling me towards the back door.

"Alice! What the hell are you doing?"

Suddenly, she was back to her usual bouncy self. "There's someone you need to see."

I know Rosalie doesnt have visions, but I just thought Id make that bit up for this.
