Guys! Please review! It makes me want to write the story.

I heard Alec knock quietly on my door and come inside my room. He came over and joined me on the balcony.
"So, you glad you came back to Forks?" Alec asked me.
"Yeah..." I smiled at him. "Thanks for coming with me."
"I go wherever you go Bella, you know that," Alec said, his crimson eyes gazing into mine.
I nodded, but didn't trust myself to speak. I felt a twinge of guilt at his words because I knew I would never say the same back to him. He slowly closed the distance between us and pressed his lips to mine. I let him kiss me, wishing with all my heart to feel the electric shock I had felt when I was kissing him. Alec and Jane were amazing and I loved them with all my heart. Not... the little nagging voice in my head said. Yes, they were amazing... sort of. I mean, they were great to me, but I didn't agree with a lot of things they did: drinking human blood, using their supernatural abilities to torture people... Aro had changed Alec and Jane because he saw potential in them. From the moment they had been changed, they had been taught to use their gifts a certain way. Only to benefit the Volturi. I would like to say that I thought if they had been brought up differently, they may have been completely different people. But, unfortunately, I think they would still be as cruel and ruthless as they are now.
"Bella?" Alec was asking me, his voice sounding slightly worried.
I looked up at him.
"Bella? You seemed really zoned out. What were you thinking about?"
"Just... things. The Volturi," I said truthfully. "Come on, let's find Jane."
He followed me to Jane's room where she was dutifully combing her hair in front of the mirror. She grinned when she noticed us.
"Hey! Okay, so we're going out tonight!" Jane told us. Alec and I exchanged a look. Jane loved going to clubs and bars. And if anyone dared to argue with her? Well, let's just say Jane can be extremely scary when she wants to be.
We decided to go hunt, and then go to Port Angeles and find a club. Alec and Jane complained the whole time we were hunting. It got really annoying, and I wasn't in the best mood when we got back to the house. My mood didn't improve when Jane forced me to be sit still while she did my hair, make-up and made me try on about a billion different outfits. I hated make-up so while Jane was applying some goopy stuff on my lips I closed my eyes and tried to think about something else.
Jane reminded me so much of Alice when she did this. Jane and Alice were alike in so many ways. That was why I became friends with Jane: she was a crueler, colder version of Alice. Stop it. I told myself mentally. Jane is your best friend. You love her. Alice left you and she's never coming back.
"'Kay Bella!" Jane squealed after applying the final touched of mascara. "You're done!" I looked in the mirror. Jane had clothed me in a skimpy purple and black mini-dress. I was wearing black high heels and carried a small purple handbag. My brown hair was down as usual, but Jane had added some more curls and waves so it cascaded down my back like a waterfall.
"Go get Alec and I'll meet you guys downstairs!" Jane told me, before bounding off to the closet.
I walked down to the front hall, my heels clicking on the floor. Before too long, Jane and Alec joined me. Alec was wearing a simple white shirt and black pants and Jane was wearing a sparkly hot pink mini-dress with a plunging neckline. Her blond hair was pulled back into an elegant twist on the back of her head.
"Wow, Bella! You look amazing!" Alec said, before coming over and kissing me hungrily.
"Hey, what about me?" Jane said, glaring at him.
Alec ignored her and took my hand as he led me out the door. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Jane staring at me, her eyes cold and narrowed. But then we got into Alec's car and she was bubbly and happy again. Jane had problems with jealousy. Even though Alec was her brother, I think she sometimes got annoyed when he didn't pay attention to her. But she always seemed to forget about it a moment later.
We arrived at a club called Liquid Ice in record time, mostly due to the fact Alec hadn't obeyed any of the speed limits on the way there. Inside, it was hot and stuffy, with flashing lights and moving bodies. It was packed with dancing humans, their hips swaying in time to the music and talking and laughing at the bar.
"Let's dance Bella!" Alec said, grabbing my arm and leading me out to the dance floor. Jane headed to the bar to go meet some guys, and Alec and I started to dance. Humans watched us twirl and sway gracefully, both of us moving in perfect time to the music. After a while, we decided to go find Jane. She was at the bar, talking to the bartender.
"Wow, so you want to be an actor?" She said, flirtatiously.
"Yeah. Right now I'm just trying to get money for college..." He trailed off once he saw me.
Jane followed his gaze. "James, this is my friend Bella. Bella, this is James."
I smiled at him.
"Isn't he hot!" Jane whispered to me as I sat down, too quiet for the human to hear. "I think I found my Saturday treat," she said, smiling so her teeth showed.
I looked away. Alec sat down next to me.
"So, Bella, where do you go to school?" James said to me.
"We're just starting Forks High School in a couple days," Jane trilled, before I could answer.
He nodded and then turned away to attend to another customer.
Pretty soon a scantily dressed girl came up to Alec and asked him to dance. He looked at me for approval.
"It's fine," I said, grinning. This would be fun to watch. Another thing that was wrong with me: I didn't care when my boyfriend went and grinded with some other girl.
Jane and I talked for a while at the bar. Jane was flirting with James, the cute bartender, while he tried to give me all sorts of drinks, which I declined.
Jane was getting more and more annoyed at me for taking James' attention, so I decided to go find someone to dance with, as Alec was still dancing with the girl, looking extremely uncomfortable as she pressed herself against him. No sooner had I got into the middle of the dance floor when a blond, baby-faced boy came up to me.
"Hi," he said, his dimples showing. He reminded me of someone...
"Hello," I said.
"I'm Matt. Matt Newton."
Of course! Mike Newton! This must be his grandson or something!
"I'm Isabella Swan. But I like Bella."
"Bella..." He said, hesitating a bit. "You wanna dance?"
I nodded and we started to dance. Pretty soon Alec came up behind Matt.
"Can I cut in?" He asked, his voice polite but there was something scary simmering under the surface.
"Let me finish this dance with her, dude." Matt said. I admired his nerve; Alec's eyes were flashing furiously.
"I think you had better disappear. Now." Alec told him, his voice deathly soft.
Matt had some self-preservation, at least, because he darted away, stumbling in his haste.
"Rude human." Alec said, starting to dance with me.
"Rude vampire," I said to him.
"He deserved it." Alec grinned. "And I wanted to dance."
We stayed at the club another hour before we decided to leave. Jane was pissed on the ride home because the bartender hadn't asked for her phone number. I was silent. Meeting Matt Newton had brought back a rush of painful memories. Angela, Jessica, Eric... I even missed Lauren Mallory! And I had hated that girl!
Was coming back to Forks the right thing to do?
I know it's short- I'll start writing longer ones if I get reviews!! These are mostly filler chapters. They start school soon and meet.. duh duh duh... THE CULLENS! Yay. It's kinda boring right now, but it'll get exciting!
Tell me what you think!
