I have been done this chapter for some time. How long? A while. But my internet decided not to work for what seemed like forever so I was unable to release it.
Disclaimer: Stephenie Meyer owns all the characters, and this story, as most of you may have guessed is based on the TV show the Bachelor and the Bachelorette.
Also thanks to my Beta, , for reviewing and editing so quickly.
The Bachelorette: Bella Swan
Bella's P.O.V.
(5 months ago)
I moved into the Bachelorette mansion about a week ago and even though I'm not going to find true love I am most definitely going to enjoy this. Me, my own personal staff, a thirteen million dollar mansion, free clothes, and twenty-five extremely sexy men all vying for my love. All I have to do is break their hearts one by one. I woke up this morning, my staff cooked me a delicious breakfast, I put on a brand new outfit, the hair and make-up crew came in and made me look even better and then I headed to the studio. Today we are starting to film some of the pre recorded part of the show. I could hear people recording as I walked through the silver double doors.
"On this season of the Bachelorette Bella Swan will get her chance to find true love," Ian read off the teleprompter.
"Cut," yelled some guy I imagined was quite important.
The fellow that had yelled cut started walking towards me. "Hi, you must be Isabella," He said.
How many times did I have to tell these clowns that I preferred Bella! I refused to allow them to use my full name on the show, it was in the contract!
"Bella," I corrected him.
"Oh yes, I'm sorry, my assistant Irene had reminded me that you preferred Bella while we were doing uhm . . . . ."---a smile spread across his face.
Ew.
"---preparations for your arrival, yes, preparations for your arrival." He finished.
Could he be any less obvious?
Well now I knew how Alice could get an assistant job, not that she would go for it. Although she did owe me . . . and we had never spent more than a week apart since we had met.
"Now Bella, I need you to put on this outfit, sit in that chair to stage right, and then read the lines off the teleprompter," he said.
I went to the change room and put on the outfit he had given me. It was a gorgeous outfit, any man would swoon at the sight of me, whoever picked this out had good taste in clothes. I walked out of the bathroom and made my way towards the chair. The heels I was wearing made this easy task, quite difficult. When I finally reached the chair I sat down and started reading.
"I'm going to pour my heart and soul into this experience, and that is why I'm going to find true love."
Ha! Yea right.
"I have never done anything like this and I feel so lucky to have been selected."
As if luck had anything to do with it. If I knew one thing about Alice is was that she knew how to make shit happen.
"I have been a fashion designer for five years and own my own fashion label, along with a good friend of mine. Most of you know her as Alice Greene, and she will be designing all of my outfits that you see on this season on the Bachelorette.
Wait, what did I just read! Alice was going to be the designer this season! Why didn't anyone tell me this! I looked up at the teleprompter realizing I had just missed about ten lines.
"CUT," yelled the man whose name was still unknown. "Now Bella, I know how you feel, I being the producer have dealt with many of the previous bachelorettes, you think this will just be a fun time and that you could never find true love on a reality T.V. show. That's where you're wrong."
Lucky guess, I was pretty easy to read, although I thought I had hidden my true feelings about never being able to find true love on reality T.V. quite well. "Who are you?" I wondered out loud.
"I am Jasper Hale," he said as he walked away.
Bella's P.O.V.
(Six months ago)
"Alice you didn't," I growled.
Of all the horrible things I had imagined would come out of her mouth, this was a million times worse!
"Bella just hear me out!" she pleaded. "It's in L.A., there are lots of sexy, single, guys in L.A. You will get to stay in a thirteen million dollar mansion and you will get to date twenty-five gorgeous men at the SAME TIME! This is every girls dream Bella!" she said hastily.
"Alice, you talking like I was already chosen, I thought you just sent in a video?" I said slowly, fearing the answer. I was really confused now, Alice would've had to pull some serious strings to get me on that show, millions of girls send in their tapes every year.
"Well, I sent the tape in a month ago, and they called me this morning asking if you wanted to be on the show."
SHE BETTER NOT HAVE SAID YES WITHOUT TALKING TOO ME FIRST!!
"I told them, yes. Our flight leaves in two hours," she said calmly, but her eyes were pleading with me.
Why does she have to torture me like this!
"Alice I'm sorry but you're going to have to call them back because I'm not going." I stated. There was no way I was going on national T.V. to pretend to like—love, some superficial, self absorbed, male models.
"PLEASE!" She wailed. "I need this; I can't be alone any longer! Now we can either go to L.A. calmly or you can make this difficult but in the end we both know I will get what I want." She said, and a grin spread across her face.
"Fine, but you're getting everything ready," I said. There was really no point when it came to arguing with Alice. It was a waste of time, somehow she always got what she wanted, and the time I spent arguing was just time wasted.
"Oooo Bella!!" she squealed. "You will not regret this, I promise" She said almost knocking me to the floor while she hugged me. "I have all your stuff, well stuff I bought for you, packed and the taxi will take us to the airport in about twenty-five minutes! This is going to be so fun, just you wait."
Bella's P.O.V.
"I can't believe were in California!" gushed Alice.
Longest. Plane ride. Ever.
"Ya, amazing." I mumbled. Thankfully it was a direct flight and only three hours with no complications, I don't know how much longer I would've been able to sit beside the bouncing, hyper, three-year old. After about ten minutes after boarding people were beginning to stare and I'm sure some were staring at the famous designer Alice Greene, but I'm fairly certain the majority were staring at a little bouncing ball of energy, talking at 100 miles per hour. Sometimes I could swear Alice was a 12 year old girl trapped inside an adult body and the majority of the time you'd swear she had just spotted Zac Efron.
"I rented us a car, it should be parked just over here, OH I SEE IT, I SEE IT, COME ON SLOW POKE!!!" Alice screamed.
Yep, definitely getting strange looks, Alice is definitely 12, and I'm pretty sure she just saw Zac Efron.
"COME ON BELLA I CAN SEE IT!" she yelled while grabbing my arm and starting to run in her 3 inch heels.
"It's beautiful," she said when we neared a yellow Porsche. "I think I need to buy one of these when we get back to Forks," she stated.
"Alright, I suppose we better get to the, uhm, where exactly do we need to go?" I said.
"Hop in Bells, I know exactly where to go, a year of planning has finally lead to this moment," She said smiling.
A year, you've got to be kidding me! She has been planning this for a year, I cannot comprehend.
"YOU'VE BEEN PLANNING THIS FOR A YEA---" I started you yell.
"Now Bells just relax, I have invested a lot of time into this experience. While you're doing the show meeting great guys, I'm going to be going out to meet great guys and by the end of this we will both have fiancés, understood," She stated.
"Well you clearly have this all planned out don't you," I said a little irked by her confidence. What if Alice finds a fiancé, I will be all alone. This is already going downhill and I haven't even gotten to the show. "Alice, what if I don't get a fiancé and you do, I will be all alone."
"Don't be silly Bella, you will meet someone and you will fall in love, I can see it already. You and me getting married, and having a family, neither of us is going to be left behind. Now smile, were here, and WOW your house is HUGE!" said Alice.
Wow was right this house is, AMAZING. Alice grabbed some keys from her purse and opened the brown oak double door.
"Hello, welcome to the bachelorette mansion, you must be our bachelorette Isab---I mean Bella, and you must be Alice Greene, it's a pleasure to meet you both. I am Jared, and I will be giving you a tour of your home Bella, "said Jared. Some features include nine baths, hand-carved Cantera stone fireplaces, imported fountains, a state-of-the-art chef's kitchen, electronic skylights, a solar heated saltwater swimming pool, a swim-up barbecue and bar, arched aqueduct spillways and two spas. The living room is where the rose ceremonies will take place and you can sleep in anyone of the six bedrooms." He recited.
"oh, kay, uhm, thanks." I managed to stutter out. This house is the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, it was also the largest house I had ever been in. Alice looked as shocked as I did, and considering she had nothing to say, I imagine she was in awe, because Alice always had something to say.
After about two hours of me and Alice sprinting through my new home like maniacs we decided sit down and eat. I was just about to take a bite into my mac and cheese when the doorbell rang. I ran to the door, which after taking a few wrong turns, took me three minutes to locate and ripped open the door. No one was there, what was there was an envelope, sitting on the floor. I picked it up only to have it snatched out of my hands by Alice.
"ALICE," I screeched. "It's mine! Give it back."
After about half an hour of chasing Alice around the mansion, she had managed to lock herself inside a bathroom. "Open this door right now Alice or I swear I will knock it down." I roared.
"I just want to read it, then I will give it to you." She pleaded.
"No, we can read it together, just come out of there." I said calmly.
"Okay, truce? And promise you won't hurt me." She asked.
"Yes Alice, truce, and you know I would never actually attack you, now come out." I agreed.
Slowly the door opened and Alice handed me the letter.
Finally
"Thanks," I said. "Now let's read it."
I eagerly tore open the thick envelope. There was a note and 25 profiles.
Dear Bella,
Enclosed in this envelope you will find twenty-five profiles, each with names, pictures, and some information about each bachelor. Read them over and start learning each of their names. The show premieres in a mere six months so we will start filming in two weeks, which basically means you will be meeting your bachelors in two weeks. Tomorrow we will start prerecording some information about you so be in studio A-27 at 9am each morning. Alice snatched the envelope before I could finish reading.
"Alice, are we really going to do this again," I asked.
Shit. I can't believe she got it from me, again! I really want to see the bachelors!!
"Relax Bella, I just wanted to get a look at the hot guys you get to date, the notes making me fall asleep," she stated.
"Okay fine, let's look at them." I said. I was really getting excited now; I picked up the 25 profiles and started looking through them.
"OH MY GOD BELLA," Alice screamed.
"I know," I said. It's all I could manage to say, I was freaking out on the inside.
I will hopefully update next weekend so read and review, creative criticism is happily accepted seeing as it will make my story better.
P.S. I have not decided who Bella is going to end up with so feel free to review and put in your two cents. :D
P.P.S. I also want to recommend a T.V. series called the Vampire Diaries. Anyone who loves the Twilight series will love the Vampire Diaries!! There are many OME moments.
