A/N – Ok, so I may have had a few spelling errors and wrong words in that last chapter but it was late when I wrote it. The link to Bella's bathing suit is in my profile so go check it out. Here's the next chapter to my story. Enjoy.
Disclaimer – Same as always I own nothing but my story plot. Also, the songs I used in this story are not mine and they belong to their original makers.
Night Club Life
As I awake I can feel the rays of the sun hit my face and I can hear the faint crashing of the waves out my window. I lie in bed and I contemplate going back to bed but my body won't let me. Reluctantly I open my eyes and the sight, to any human, would be breathtaking, but to me it is an average sight to behold. The French doors hat opened up to my balcony was open and the silky curtains were blowing in the wind. The Sun shined through the doors and the huge, sparkly ocean could be seen from the position I was in.
Carefully sitting up in bed I feel around for my TV remote and find it somewhere towards the end of my bed. I flick on the TV to MTV with music videos and I lay back for a few minutes listening to the song. I hear the beat to one of the songs that I had strangely took a liking to, "I'm So Hood" by DJ Khaled.
Most people would think that rap music is so pointless but there is so much power to it. The way it makes the body sway to the rhythm… almost hypnotizing. My lips curl into a grin and I know this will be my morning theme song for the day. Quickly I hop out of bed and turn the surround speakers on to my TV and blast the song playing.
The music sets my mood for the day and I know already what I'm going to wear that day. It was said on the radio the other day that it'd be a chilly morning so I walk to my closet and lay out a pink, white and black bikini. I knew I would end up going swimming at some point so I figured I would wear something over it. I placed the clothes down on my bed and threw a pair of baggy grey army sweatpants on top of the bikini. Then I finally made my way down to my basement.
I entered the room and I knew this was one of my favorite places of my house. I cautiously walked over to the mats on the far side of the wall and took my stance. You see, my basement is the place I set up where I can battle train. I've got punching bags, a huge assorted weapon wall, vaulting horse, bars, and other things that can be used to train.
My spot however would have to be the meditation part of it. I have my mats and a small sanctuary where I set up pictures of the ones who are dearest to me. As a matter of fact I keep everyone's pictures lined all over my walls down here. It gives me a motive to stay alive, well as alive as I can be, and to remember those who mean the most. I have pictures of David, Jake, Quil, Embry, and the rest of the La Push group. Then there are other pictures of Charlie and Rene, my childhood, and the friends I have made throughout my life.
This room is a bit of a sanctuary to me and I make sure to come down almost everyday just to look at the faces of all the ones who are dear to me. I feel a pang of depression as I know there are others who are not on the wall. I have always felt a part of me was empty until The Cullen's came into my life and I thought the spot that felt empty would never come apart, but apparently I was wrong about that one. Thinking of them kills my soul and the pain claims my heart. I wish every day to take the pain away but it's almost impossible for all of it to go away. I can distract myself from it at times but it will never go away completely I fear.
After my daily meditation I make my way up the stairs and up to my room where I can still hear the music blaring, "Bust It Baby" by Plies. The song put a smile on my mouth and I'm up in a flash just to listen to it.
I run to my dresser where I have a vanity all set up with a wall length mirror. I admire myself for a while and then I pull out my brush and brush out all the knots in my hair from sleep. I throw my hair up in a sloppy bun and apply a light shade of makeup to my face. My black eyeliner is light but is still visible when you looked at me. A sparkly pink and sliver adorned my eyelids and a bit of mascara to make my eyelashes longer and more seductive. I loved dressing up and putting on makeup because it made me feel better at times.
Last were the clothes I threw on my bed. I quickly pull my tank top over my head and took my short off and threw them in my hamper and enjoyed the feeling of being nude. I would have blushed and never felt comfortable in my skin when I was human but now it never bothered me.
I tidied my room up and made it look more in place and then I slid the bikini bottoms up my smooth, tanned legs and pulled the bikini top over my head. The top has thicker straps that tie behind my neck in a halter fashion and the cut in the front was tight so it pushed my chest out baring the cleavage I adopted when I changed.
After I was changed not only had I gone through the change mentally but also physically. My body has become curvier and my boobs have gotten quite a bit bigger then it was before. I guess I can say that I look like a woman and not so much like a child anymore.
I finished putting on my bikini and then went back to the bed and retrieved my baggy sweatpants. I pull them up over my legs and let then sit low on my hips o that you could see the top of my bikini bottoms underneath. I slipped my feet into my sandals and threw my glasses into my hair so the sat on the top of my head. I walked to the mirror and checked myself over to make sure if I was ready to go. I could almost laugh at how gangster my pants looked as they seemed to be just barely sitting on my hips.
I figured I wouldn't wear a shirt today because of how hot it would get later and so now I looked at my stomach. I loved how smooth and flat my stomach looked. I worked to keep my body more in shape and it paid off everyday. I quickly applied a little bit of lip gloss and then I was out the door.
I climbed into my car, revved the engine, and it was like music to my ears. I rolled the roof down and now I could feel the day's small sun rays hit the top of my head. I checked my rearview mirror and cranked up my radio just in time to listen to "Bust it Baby" yet again as it came on the radio.
She
got me speedin' in the fast lane
Pedal to the floor mayne, tryna
get back to her love
Best believe she got that good thang
She
my little hood thang, ask around they know us
You'll know that's
my...
BUSTTTTTT ITTTT... bay bayy
Everybody know that's my..
BUSTTTT ITTTTT... bay bayy
Everybody know thats mine
I was flooring down the pedal and I was caught in thought listening to the music and feeling my hair flying around me in the wind. I'm not sure yet where I'm going but I guess I will find out when I get there. I do this most days lately. Let my mind carry me away from reality. I wish I could spend all of these moments with him but those days seem to have passed by without looking back.
I'd give anything just to hear that voice again, so soft like velvet. Whenever he talked it was like a melody to come out from those lips. No I can't let my thoughts wander again, because that would be bad news to carry on like that. Last time was unbearable and I don't want to end up like that.
It was amazing how much time in thought someone could end up in because when I finally came to conscious of what I was doing, it was almost sun set. That was strange. It hadn't felt like I was gone that long. Whatever the matter be, I knew one thing was for sure. I need a drink… and BAD. I consider calling David and see what he is up to but I decide against it because I think I just need time to breathe and forget.
Without another thought I turn the car around and head toward one of the local popular clubs and get ready for a wild night.
(To the Cullen's)
"I think it'd be a good idea if we all went out tonight,"
Rosalie said trying to lighten up the tenseness in the Cullen home but it didn't seem to do very much. Ever since they had left, nothing was right with the close knit family. Edward never came out of his room and a continuous wave of depression could be felt rolling out in waved from behind his door.
In the past decades they had traveled all around and never settled in one area for very long before they packed up and left. They had al currently resided in California and it could be crazy to think of the reasons why they would move there. It was sunny most of the time but the night scene of course was one to die for.
One thing that was very fortunate was that all through the drama and depression they had all decided to stay together and help each other through the pain of losing the person they all held dear to them.
They knew that Edward was trying to protect her and they didn't hate him for that but they had argued much in the beginning about leaving Bella behind. In the end, however, Edward got through to them of the dangers they could put her in and so they all decided to let the situation be.
Alice came walking down the stairs gracefully with her husband in tow.
"That sounds like a great idea, Rose. We need to bring our brother out and try to stop his sulking for at least a few hours. I know he misses her and so do I and the rest of the family, but that was the life he chose for her."
If Alice could cry, tears would have been streaming down her checks and so Jasper wrapped his arms around her and tried to calm her as much as he could. However, he too felt it, and he felt that lot of it was his fault that they lost their little sister. Remembering back to the night of her 18th birthday was the biggest pain for all the Cullen's but they couldn't do anything about it now that she was gone.
As the three of them had consumed themselves in a motion of sadness, Emmett came through the kitchen doors and embraced his one and only true love. Rosalie, surprisingly let out a mournful cry and even though it never seemed like she liked Bella, it could be seen now that she indeed did cared for Bella.
"I think your right, Rose we all need to go out as a family and attempt to make Edward a little bit better. It's killing us but I couldn't even imagine how he's been holding up," Emmett had finally said breaking the silence.
"I'm going to try to get Edward to come out with us…" Alice said finally.
Alice unwrapped herself from Jasper's arms and made her way up the stairs toward Edward's room.
She lightly knocked on his door. Silence. But that's what she had expected, that's all that came from him lately.
She opened his door and cautiously mad her way into the room, immediately spotting him in far corner near his window staring out at nothingness. Alice walked up behind him and placed her hand on his back and rubbing it in a soothing motion.
"Hey…" Alice said after minutes of silence. Edward merely just glanced down at her and even though he had been feeding, Alice could see h darkness in his eyes. Sorrow. That emotion was so very evident in his eyes and Alice couldn't help but embrace her brother and she could feel his body shake ever so slightly and she knew how much pain he was in.
"Edward… come out with us tonight. Please, I know you hurt and we just want to get you out of here for awhile." He looked completely defeated and Alice knew it was because he didn't have the energy to up a fight against her request. It could be easily seen that he felt guilt on top o it all for putting his family in the position of worrying over him.
"We don't have to stay long but just to get the entire family out of the house, even for a little while, would be nice. We all miss you and were worried." He gently nodded his head once and Alice broke out in a small smile and hugged him and told him they would all be leaving in an hour.
Back to Rosalie, Emmett, and Jasper
Rosalie and Emmett had decided to go up and start getting ready for the night ahead of them. Jasper was left alone and he could hear all the conversations in the house. He could hear his wife talking to Edward but never a reply back.
Having enough of standing there, Jasper went off to find Esme and Carlisle and let them know of their plans of going out. He found them in Carlisle's study in the basement and as soon as he entered they both looked up at him.
It was clear how much of an impact their family was going through losing their last Cullen addition and he knew nothing would ever be like it once was in the house.
"Were going out tonight so if you two want you can accompany us, Alice and Rose really wan to get Edward to cheer up a little bit," Japer explained to them and Esme let a small smile grace her face and she patted her husband's shoulder and left to get ready.
Alice POV
I could feel my family members around me rushing to get ready and as I left Edward's room I had a feeling about tonight. It had been a long time since I had got a vision and that thought had worried us all. I wondered if it just had to do with all the sorrow and how my head hasn't been completely there in these past decades.
I went to mine and Jasper's room and I quickly threw on a pair of cute low rise jeans that were slightly faded and a pink blouson tube bra top. I didn't bother with anything else so I threw on a pair of pink sandals and went to go see my husband.
As I walked down the stairs I see everyone is ready to go. I see that Rose is wearing a pleated black mini skirt with a red bow halter top. Emmett is in a regular dark washed jeans with a white t shirt and my husband is wearing dressy black slacks with a a regular t shirt to go with it.
Carlisle is just wearing casual clothes and Esme is wearing a long tango skirt with a matching blouse. It was obvious that they'd do some dancing on the floor tonight. Then lastly, is Edward and he's wearing a very dark washed jean, similar yet different, to the ones Emmett is wearing and a midnight blue button down.
I look around at my family, we all exchange glances before we all separate into different cars on our way to the nightclub. I had a deep feeling that something would come out of tonight in a positive way.
Back to Bella
I pulled up to the V2o nightclub and quickly parked my car in the lot and checked my appearance in my rearview mirror and got out of my car. I clicked the lock button my car flashed as it locked itself and I continued to make my way to the front doors of the club.
As I was entering I caught a smell in the air and it was all too familiar but I couldn't exactly place it. So I ignored it and continued to enter the club flashing my I.D. to the bouncer and I gave him a flirtatious smile.
"Good evening Bella. Its great to see you've made your way back here again," He said as usual.
I nodded my head and entered the club and got hit with the aroma of boos, smoke, human lust, and the sound of loud music blaring. Yes, tonight was going to be one to remember.
I made my best to make an appearance and it wasn't so heard. Everyone was always awestruck when I entered a room. I looked around at all the other girls and felt nothing but jealousy and hate from them and most of the guys held lust in their eyes at the sight of me. I loved getting that reaction from people and it always made my day to get under the human's skin.
David and I used to play a game when we went to dance clubs. See how many humans tried to either bed you or tried to seduce you by the end of the night. Then we would meet up and compare the numbers. It was always a close tie but I of course always came out on top.
By no means do I hold a high self esteem but when I know I look good, I know I look good.
I made my way over to the bar casually and I noticed my usual bar tender was not there yet so I ordered a few shots of Vodka and grabbed a bottle of Corona. I took a seat at the far table and scanned the club for anything out of place. The scent had drifted back and I knew who or whatever it was had entered the club.
Brushing it off, I figured it was just a pigment of my imagination and I downed my beer before making my way towards the crowd of people. I could already feel the alcohol making its way through my system and I was glad for having so many human traits left.
The beat in the song kicked up a bit and I could feel the bass pulse through my chest as it continued to get louder. I dipped my hips to the rhythm and I moved with the people around me.
"Hey what's happ'nin' homie?
This ya lil' whoa Plies man
I ran across a nice lil' baby the other day homie
Lil' mama so bad she had me hypnotized cuzz couldn't even get my eyes off her
I'mma tell you how it feel to be hypnotized"
I raised my hand up over my head and I let the beat flow through my body and I could feel a few pairs on my back through the whole song. I felt the lusty men around me stare at my body as I bumped and grinded to the music. I even felt someone from behind me pull me flush against their chest and their erection was evident to my lower back.
I de attached myself from, them as the song came to the end and I heard complaints but I didn't care. I needed another drink. I made my way over to my table and as I was walking I could still feel eyes burning holes into my back and so I turned in order to see who it could be. But when I turned I was confronted with a family of golden eyes.
To the Cullen's
E POV
We all sped our way to the V2o club and even though I tried to be happy my family, my heart just wasn't in it. Alice insisted that we only take two cars and so I rode with Carlisle and Esme while Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett took the other car.
As we pulled in I looked at the scenery around me and I took in all of the people parading around the parking lot mostly drunk. The lights inside the building flashed and the music boomed from the doors. One thing however, did catch my attention, freesias. But that couldn't be, there was no smell out there that could ever smell like my angel. Could it be possible? No, I was probably imagining it all like before.
My family turned to me and I knew they were waiting for me to follow up with them to the entrance. We all gracefully made our way up to the bouncer and Alice and Rosalie dazzled the man and got us all into the club without having to wait.
As we entered the club I could see Carlisle's face contorts to disgust at the crudeness of the music and he actions of the people around them. Esme had the same look as her husband but she chose to say nothing about it and just enjoy the time with all of us. Alice and Rosalie, however, seemed to be enjoying themselves and a lot and together all seven of us took a table to the far corner of the club.
I placed myself next to Carlisle and Esme while Emmett, Jasper, Alice and Rosalie all piled themselves around us. We all sat watching the dance floor and Alice and Rosalie made small talk while I was searching for the scent I kept catching around me. It mesmerized me and it confused me beyond words.
I followed my nose however and it landed me on this one particular girl who had a sun kissed tan with a huge tattoo on her back. She was grinding to the music with such grace it nearly took my breath away. Her hair ran down her back like a cascade of waves and it held the colors of an original brunette with streaks of blonde erupting all throughout her head. Her entire back was bare and the skin looked gentle to the touch but it was obvious she took good care of her body
Her motions captivated me and it was obvious all the human men around her saw it because they were all over her. I couldn't place it and it was impossible to think it could be but I was sure that could be my angel. But how is she still alive and in this condition decades later. I was overacting, that had to be it.
As I glanced over at my family they too, however, was captivated by the woman on the dance floor. We all watched as she briefly turned in our direction and I saw her face. Her eyes were close but that was MY Bella! She had gone through quite the transformation and even though she seemed completely human, it was obvious she wasn't by the strength emitting from her.
I felt a hand on mine and I turned to see Alice and the rest of the family looking to me.
"Is that…?" Alice couldn't even finish her sentence. We all just stared at the beauty that floated across the dance floor and then I saw one of the men be bold and wrap their arms around MY angel's waist. This angered my beyond belief and I knew I had to talk to her, we all did.
We heard the song start to come to an end and Bella took herself away from the man and it was obvious that he didn't want to go just yet. But it was apparent that she shot him down because of the look of defeat on his face as he walked over to his buddies.
I could tell she could feel us all watching but I couldn't help but try to get her attention. She was walking towards the bar when she suddenly stopped and looked over in or direction. In that moment our eyes connected and I could see so many emotions running through her eyes. We never broke eye contact as she started to make her way towards our table.
A/N- Ok so how was that chapter everyone? I tried my best to make it more spaced out so it could be easier to read and if there any spelling mistakes, I apologize. But please give me reviews because it would be nice to see how I'm doing and if there's anything that I missed. Well, I am currently working on the third chapter so feedback would help encourage me to keep writing it. Well I hope your enjoying it and there is much more to come.
