The drinks are real! Go to a site called drinkoftheweek, and look for the halloween ones!

Bella POV.

I felt Edwards's strong grip as he grabbed hold of my hand, leading me to the bathrooms as the rest of them bounded to the dance floor. I noticed a barely dressed blonde in a Playboy bunny costume looking Edward up and down from where she sat at the bar. I hesitated and muttered quickly, "Go I'll be fine, I think that Playboy bunny wants to dance with you" And the rest.. I finished while tilting my head towards the barely dressed woman.

I watched him as he looked towards the bar. Meanwhile I bowed my head, as I concentrated on trying to pry my hand from his stone grasp. Why won't he let go of my hand? He's wasting his time being around me when he can have the bunny's full attention…. I rambled on.

I felt his other hand at my chin, as he lifted my face up to look at him. I let my hands still while he asked me with an amused look on his face, "Do you really think that she's my type Bella?"

I felt his hand drop from my chin, to my other hand while I looked over to the woman at the bar. I could feel him rubbing circles into the back of my hands while he waited for my verdict. I looked back to his face, with a sheepish smile as I said, "I guess not."

"Good" I heard him say in an upbeat voice. He smiled his breathtaking crooked smile at me before moving his hands up to my shoulders as he continued, "I'm sticking with you tonight….if you need me, come get me okay?" I picked up some strange tone in his voice, but discarded it.

He let his hands drop to his sides, and moved to lean against the wall. That's when I noticed that we were now stood outside the Ladies. I smiled as I stood in front of him. I reached up on my toes and whispered in his ear, "Thank you Edward." Before I gave him a quick peck on the cheek and walked through the bathroom door.

Alice POV.

The club went quiet at a few minutes to midnight when the music shut off and a voice emitted from the speakers. "The witching hour is upon us ladies and gentlemen, so, free drinks at the bar until 12.15!"

I held my hands over my ears as the crowd erupted into loud cheers of celebration. Suddenly the crowd moved as one giant force towards the bar.

I stood up on my toes and saw Edward at the bar looking anxiously into the crowd. Awww bless, he's looking for Bella….that boy is so in love with her, it's just embarrassing! I made my way through the sea of bodies and slipped my hand into his as I asked, "Lost something or more to the point, someone?"

I watched him as he rolled his eyes and gave my shoulder a playful push as I began to laugh at him. I could feel him trying to tug his hand from mine, but I held firm until he looked down at me with a wicked smile and threatened, "Alice, dear, let go of my hand before I make you let go…..I will Chinese burn you…" Ouch…nasty tactic…he knows that I've always hated those.

I reluctantly let go of his hand and took a small step back. I glared at him for being so mean. He's going to apologise….he knows that a nasty look from me is never good….Bingo! I cheered in my mind as his next words slipped out.

"Come on Alice, cheer up, I'll get you a drink…." I looked back at him as he put on the cutest smile he could manage before he coaxed, "It's on me…."

I smiled at him and muttered"It's a free bar you jerk…"

He gave me a cheeky smile before he turned around to the bar to get us some free drinks. I quickly made my escape to find the others.

Edward POV.

I turned around after having been served, only to find Bella standing where Alice had been moments before. "Hey Edward, Alice told me that you wanted me…." She finished looking curious as to the reason that I had apparently summed her for.

Hmmm Alice told you that I wanted you…..that would be and accurate summarisation depending on how you looked at it I suppose… My thoughts trailed off while I also damned Alice's apparent perceptiveness.

"Erm…yeah….just wanted to make sure you didn't get trampled by the crowd that's all…." I finished while trying to look and sound convincing. Like she'll believe that…

I watched her as she shrugged her shoulders and grabbed, what had been Alice's drink, from my hand. After a short while of silence between us while we sipped our drinks, I noticed her frowning and rubbing the back of her neck uncomfortably.

"Bella, are you okay?" I asked. The concern was evident in my voice.

She turned to me and gave me a wistful smile before she leaned toward my ear and asked, "Could we go somewhere quieter?"

I nodded and grabbed hold of her free hand with mine. I pulled her up to the seating area that we were at during the beginning of the night.

"Wow, its dead up here now." Bella marvelled as she sat down.

I sat next to her and smiled as I said, "Free bar….it has its appeals."

Her musical laughter washed over me, causing me to forget about everyone else for the moment.

Remembering the reason that we were now away from the crowd, I asked, "Do you have a headache?"

She looked back up at me and nodded slowly before explaining, "It was all those people more than anything, I just got a bit claustrophobic. I feel much better now." She finished with a winning smile which caused my heart to skip a beat.

After a short while of comfortable silence, I was about to spark up a conversation, when I was rudely interrupted.

"Hey Bella, are you having a good night?" I heard the familiar voice of Mike Newton ask from over my shoulder.

What am I invisible? I asked myself while the two of them got passed the pleasantries.

"So Bella….mind if I have a private word?" I heard Mike ask hopefully from behind me.

I looked to Bella as she smiled and nodded to him. I cleared my throat, and then announced, "I'll just go to the little boy's room then…while you two talk." I made the last word abundantly clear as I made to get up.

As Mike, dressed as a lion... Humph…cowardly lion... waited for me to leave, I leaned down to Bella's ear and whispered, "I'll be back in a few minutes, I promise." I saw Bella give her head a small nod in understanding before I headed down stairs. I made a quick stop to the bar on my way back to see how the rest of them were.

"Where's my sister?" Emmett looked around as he asked me with a genuine look of apprehension on his face.

"Upstairs, she had a small headache and Mike wanted to talk to her." I watched as each of their faces turned into shock. "I'm going back to get her now! Calm down!" I reassured them before I headed back up.

"I like you too Mike...you're a good friend…" I instantly picked up the tone of discomfort in her voice. I picked up my pace and shoved past the small crowd of people blocking my way to her.

"Come on Bella, loosen up…" I flinched at the slimy tone in his voice.

My anger bubbled along with my strong feeling of possessiveness and blinding jealousy as I made my way back to Bella, only to see her cringing back while Mike loomed over her.

I stood at the table breathing slowly and deeply while I fought to control the roaring voice in my head that urged me to hit the vile rodent that was Mike. I noticed that one of his hands at her neck, while the other hands movement caught my attention at her thigh.

I let out a low angry growl which he obviously heard. He froze, along with the hand that was reaching dangerously high on her thigh. Before Mike got the chance to unfreeze, I grabbed hold of his shoulder tightly and roughly pulled him back, away from Bella.

I watched as relief flooded over her beautiful face, drowning the look of horror and disgust that had been there. I quickly made my way to her side and took her hand. Please don't be mad at me for leaving you for so long. I pleaded as she slowly rose to her feet.

She threw the repulsive Mike a dirty look then stepped forward to wrap her arms around my back while nuzzling her face in my chest. Breathe, breathe… I chanted in my mind while I slipped my arms around her back as well and ducked my head down to her ear. I whispered pleadingly, "Please forgive me?"

I noticed that her voice sounded a little disbelieving as she said, "What do you need forgiveness for? Mike's the one who threw himself at me." As she finished the last bit, I felt her shiver against me.

I pulled back a little and looked to where Mike had been sprawled on the floor earlier, only to find it empty. He's scurried away. Bella's sigh brought me back to my senses along with her suggestion, "Let's get back to the others. Enjoy the rest of the night."

Her arms dropped from me and I soon followed as she walked ahead of me down stairs. At the bottom, I felt on of her hands grab for mine tightly as we made our way through the heaving crowd.

Once we reached the bar, Alice and Rosalie immediately bounded up to Bella and forcefully dragged her to the dance floor. Before I could protest, I caught Bella smile at me reassuringly.

After my emotional ordeal with Bella and Mike, I decided to get myself a nice strong drink. I turned my back to the dance floor and flipped through the cocktail menu while I waited to be served.

Before I got the chance to taste my drink, Emmett jabbed me in the ribs and pointed towards the girl's direction. The three of us silently watched as some three random guys danced with Rosalie, Alice and Bella a little too close for our comfort.

How was that?
