I bit my lip, and slowly glanced behind me. Just a few yards away from me, in perfect view with one rack of clothes between us, Alice and Rosalie were standing by the try on rooms. Alice spun around, her hair a little longer than the last time I had seen her. Rosalie smiled and clapped, "It's adorable," she seemed pleased as she examined Alice's light pink, almost white, summer dress. I gasped at the sight of them, and they spun around to look at me but I ducked down behind the one rack of clothing.
I closed my eyes for a brief moment and sighed. Mentally, I bitch slapped myself. I could see through the clothing that they both looked at each other but then went back to their own business. Now all I had to do was get out of the store without being seen. Much more difficult than it sounds, it was a large store, with lots of open places. Alice disappeared in the changing room and I leaned over to glance around the end of the rack. There was a giant pile of clothes by Rosalie as she glanced over her magazine, her legs crossed and relaxing on a chair. She was facing directly at me, damn. I bit my lip, I was glad I never wore heels outside of work. I waited till Alice came back out in another outfit; they were preoccupied with the mirrors, to dart across the aisle towards the door. Luckily I made it unseen. I smiled at the lady at the cash register as she had one eye brow raised, leaned forward and casting me a suspicious look. She had seen the whole thing. I felt my cheeks burning, but kept walking till I was outside.
I sighed once outside, the rain was falling pretty hard. I glanced down both sides of the street. No taxis. I mentally slapped myself, this was Seattle, and it always rained. Stupid, stupid Bella. I glanced up at the sky; it was over cast and didn't look like it was going to stop anytime soon. I bit my lip, holding in the curse words. I hadn't thought about how far I walked before now; I was a good mile from the apartments. My head fell back to its usual level, and my eyes widened to see a pair of familiar eyes stared at me.
"Emmett," I bit my lip again and quickly looked down, my hair hiding my face. I had seen that Carlisle was seated next to him in the driver's seat reading the newspaper. Emmett wacked at his arm, muttering something. I sucked in a breathe and quickly took off walking in the opposite direction.
When I finally got home, I was completely soaked. I didn't even care now. I walked over to the elevator, the lady at the front counter staring at me the whole way. I sighed, entering the elevator and going up to my floor. I walked up to my door and opened it, the smell of Strawberries hitting me. I smiled; I loved coming home to that smell. I walked into the bathroom and took a short, hot shower, walking into my bedroom in a towel. I changed into my pajamas. I was walking into the living room rubbing my hair with the towel when I jumped back, my heart just about dying on me. Garret was lounging on the couch eating Cheese-Its. I took in a deep breathe.
"Knock much, god I just about had a heart attack!" I exclaimed wrapping the towel around myself. My pajamas were a little too short and a little showy, especially when your boss is a total pervert. I stood in the door way as he laughed.
"We got the place pretty much set up, just decoration and such. Here's the address, be there tomorrow, Babe," he said as he walked up to me and handed me a card. He winked, getting a little closer than I liked before walking down the small hallway to the door. He didn't look back. I followed behind him, locking the door again. I don't want to know how Garret got in.
I ate a bowl of macaroni and cheese, watching some stupid soup opera before going to bed.
The next day I woke up early to go to work, not that I wanted to. I got dressed quickly, did my hair, and a little bit of makeup, my usual I guess. I slipped on my annoying high heels and grabbed my purse. I locked my door on my way out and made my way over to the elevator. I stopped walking just as the elevator door opened. I was about to walk into it, but then I heard voices from down the hall.
"No I'm serious Jasper, I saw Bella!" Emmett was very frustrated. I barely glanced back to see Jasper unlocking one of the apartment doors, it was maybe three people down from me. I bit my lip, my eyes wide. Jasper sighed.
"Uh huh, sure you did buddy," he had a tiny smile on his face. The elevator door was starting to close before I jumped inside, both of them looking in my direction at that moment. The last thing I heard was, "Hey Jasper, she had a nice butt," and Jasper sigh again. I sighed in relief as the floors clicked by, and I arrived in the lobby. I walked outside in complete relief that I hadn't seen anyone else there. I waited under the roof that extended out over the sidewalk to flag down a cab.
When I finally got a ride, I turned to my thoughts. Now how was I going to live three people down from Jasper, who I already knew spent twenty four hours with Alice? This was going to be one hard life for me to live. And since when did they all move to Seattle? What about Forks? I sighed in annoyance, just as the cab pulled up to the rather large building with maybe eight floors or so. I paid him and said thank you before climbing out and running over to the door.
I walked up to the front desk where one of the three other girls who Garret dragged along with him was sitting. She was on her phone.
"I know, Garret is such a hottie, I mean, he let me touch his abs last night!" she was squealing into the phone. God bless the person on the other end, having to listen to that. She glanced at me.
"Oh someone's here, bye Mommy, love you!" she smiled to herself, clicking the phone off. I take that back, God double Bless the other person on that end of the phone.
"What do you want?" she sighed like I had taken hours of her day away. "Just checking in, that's all," I said, and turned to go the elevator. She rolled her eyes and growled lowly, flipping her phone open.
I sighed as I walked up to Garret's office, he was reading the news paper, and his feet propped up on his desk. I cleared my throat as I walked in and he barely looked away from the paper.
"Hm, is the pizza here already?" he asked. I sighed. "Nope," I said. He leaned back and looked at me, quickly sitting up professionally. I rolled my eyes to myself as he cleared his throat. "Why Bella, my love, your office is right down that hall, you're second left," he smiled deviously at me. I wouldn't be surprised if the pervert set up a camera in there. I would check.
I set up my office slowly, taking my merry time. I wasn't looking forward to working again, I was getting so lazy. I kind of missed New York, I didn't have to worry about leaving my apartment and being seen from some people from my past. I sighed, sitting in my chair. I had my usual pictures set up on my desk, my desk light, my secret box of Cheese-Its in one of my drawers, pens and pencils, paper, IPod stereo, a few posters on the wall, and so forth. I was glad though, because just like New York, one entire wall was a window. I smiled, leaning back a bit. I had been there a good four hours, which had only felt like one hour. I sighed, my work phone going off. I answered it.
"Bella, you're free to go home if you want, or you could come and eat dinner with the rest of us," Garret sounded hopeful, even though I already knew three other girls were going with him. I sighed, and kindly rejected his offer. I would rather enjoy a good bowl of Top Ramon and Romeo and Juliet. Also, did anyone else notice that the way he said it sounded like I was being held hostage for something? I laughed to myself, my thoughts were sometimes to random. I picked up my purse and other things I wanted before heading out to the elevator. I got to the lobby just as they all were climbing into a cab. I was thankful I didn't have to talk to them again. They drove off to whatever restaurant just as I opened the main entrance door. I waved down a cab and climbed in, my plan starting up now.
My plan, well, I really didn't have one except hope to god that Emmett, Alice, or Jasper don't come out of the apartment as I'm running into mine. Yes, that was my brilliant plan. It's a good thing I didn't go into the 'Making Evil Plans' kind of career. That company sure would be screwed. I laughed out loud a little, just as the cab pulled up to the apartment building. I paid the cab driver and climbed out into the light rain, quickly walking over to the door. I opened it slowly, glancing around the lobby. I swear, the woman at the front counter looked so flabbergasted and confused, I couldn't help but laugh. I stood up straight and walked over to the elevator. She stared at me like I was crazy the entire time. I sighed; this lady was just always getting to see the best of me, huh?
I entered the elevator and took in a deep breathe, this was going to take serious coordination, something I didn't have, and serious multitasking, something else I lacked. I slapped my forehead and regretted it. "Ow," I mumbled to myself. I was rubbing my forehead when the elevator dinged and the doors opened slowly. It was as if they all would be standing right on the other side stared at me, and then Emmett would go. "It is you Bella!" What a nightmare…
I shook my head, and moved closer to the door. I stuck my head out, bending down a little. I looked like such an idiot at that moment, peeking down the hallway like that. I bit my lip, silence filled the air. I didn't hear any of Alice's squeals, Emmett's laughing or, Jasper's silentness. I sucked in a deep breathe, and fell over because the elevator door started to close. "Urgh," I cursed as I stood up in my stupid heels. I quickly jumped out into the hallway, easing my way across the wall like a spy person. Now this was beyond embarrassing. I tripped again, and almost went down, but grabbed the door knob of someone's apartment. I closed my eyes and took in a breathe of relief. If I wasn't such a Bella, I would have just walked up to my apartment door and snuck in by now- but no. I always had to do it the hard way.
I ran across the hallway to my door and pulled out my keys, unlocking the door as fast as I could. Too bad I had like eight hundred keys and I just couldn't remember which one it was. With my luck, the apartment door, three people down exactly, opened and Alice came out.
"Emmett dang it, those were expensive shoes, you just had to trip over them! God, sometimes I just want to strangle you!" she was almost yelling. Jasper locked the door. I assumed it was his apartment. Emmett had his hands behind his head, laughing. I bit my lip and looked down at my keys. Jasper wrapped his arms around her waist. "Easy tiger," he joked as they walked right behind me. I finally figured out what key it was just as they passed, and practically rammed the door open. Just as I was inside Alice glanced back at me, but didn't see me. I slammed the door, my eyes closed with relief. I locked the door, sliding down with my back against it.
"Thank god," I muttered. Life was just out to get me. I stood up and sighed, I walked into my living room and threw my things on the couch, walking into my room and changing into pajamas, even though it was like 4:00 in the afternoon. I walked into my small kitchen and made myself some Top Roman before curling up on the couch, in my pajama pants which had little puppies on them, and put in Romeo and Juliet. It was one of my favorite movies.
"Romeo oh Romeo," I joked to myself. When the movie finally came to an almost end, I stood up to set my bowl in the kitchen. A knock at the door shocked me, and I jumped, slipped, and landed on my butt. I couldn't help but half yell "Damn it!" I mean, I was surprised. I ran into the living room and shut off the TV, walking over to the door. I stepped up on my tippy toes, peeking through the small hole in the door to see Emmett on the other side, doing the same thing. I jumped back up against the wall, biting my lip. Was he serious? I listened closely.
"Emmett, why are we here?"Alice protested. Jasper laughed, I could just imagine the look on her face. I continued to bit my lip.
"Because the girl that lives here has a nice-," Alice cut him off. "I'm telling Rosalie!" she exclaimed loudly. Jasper continued laughing. I could easily imagine Emmett glaring at them.
"Actually, he thinks it's Bella," Jasper said. There was a silence, and I suddenly felt brave. Still biting my lip, I leaned upward and glanced through the small hole again. Emmett was glaring at Jasper, who had his arms wrapped around Alice's stomach, and Alice was staring intently at the door, thoughtfulness in her eyes.
"That's impossible," she muttered before turning and walking away. Jasper trailed along behind her and Emmett also. He sighed, glancing back at the door once more. I sighed, leaning back. Emmett was either incredible observant these days, or this just happened to be a huge note from god saying I need to go back and live the past. This was the past, as in, past. There's a reason it's the past and not the future, right?
The next few weeks went the same. I saw Rosalie now and then, but mostly Emmett and Jasper and Alice. I wondered if they all were sharing an apartment or something. I would go to work, come home, and sneak into my apartment. They never came and knocked on my door again though, I noticed. Garret bought him self an expensive house just a ways out of the big city, I was glad he wouldn't make any crazy appearances like before.
Before I knew it, it had been eight weeks since I moved to Seattle. I was a freaking master mind at sliding across walls and memories which key was my apartment key. I also started to remember which times it was safe to leave my apartment and which times it wasn't. I had actually done perfectly fine, not seen once, with my IPod on. That is pretty damn impressive if you ask me.
I woke up to my alarm clock beeping unusually loud at me. I groaned, rolling over and slamming my hand down at it, missing, loosing my balance and rolling out of the bed. That wasn't impressive if you ask me. I sat up and turned it off. I had forgotten to turn it off, since I was now awake at six thirty on a Saturday. I sighed, might as well go shopping or something. I sighed, standing up. I walked into the living room and hooked my IPod up on the stereo, turning on some dance music, something happy.
I ate some frozen pizza for breakfast, what a great way to start the day. I took a quick shower; blow dried my hair, brushed my teeth, did my makeup, and brushed my hair out again. I pulled the top layer up into a messy pony tail; it looked cute since a few stands of hair fell and framed my face.
I walked into the living room in a dark jean skirt and a long sleeve red Henley top. I personally loved my shirt, but, that was just me. It was also a v-neck. I grabbed my purse and my IPod, sticking the head phone buds in my ears. I turned up the song I was listening to, 'It's All Your Fault' by Pink. I walked out into the hallway, knowing in my head that none of them were going to be up this early. It was just now about seven thirty. I locked my door and walked down the hall way. I waited patiently for the elevator to arrive, when I realized it was taking longer than usual. I glanced up at the numbers to see that it had gone past me and to the first floor to get someone. My eyes widened so I decided I'd rather be safe than sorry. I ran in the opposite direction of my apartment and turned the corner to more apartments. I carefully leaned forward a little so I could see if it was them-which I doubted.
Even though it didn't hurt to see them, doesn't mean it wouldn't hurt to see someone else. The person that I had been hoping not to see for the last eight weeks, the person I had a huge crush on in college, walked out of the elevator and down the hallway towards Jasper's apartment. His hair was the same, auburn and messy. He looked about the same height. He had a pair of khaki shorts on, and a button down white and blue shirt. There were tiny little blue strips against the bright white. I bit my lip, my breathe catching. Here I was, three years later, and he still took my breathe away. I stood up straight, leaning against the wall for almost all the support my shaky legs could handle. I gulped, feeling my nose burn along with my eyes. I didn't want to be this broken hearted girl again. It was just too painful.
After he disappeared into Jasper's dorm, I slowly made my way towards the elevator. I walked into it; I could still smell his cologne. Now that was just messed up, I could pick out his scent. I was a little annoyed when I realized what song was playing, 'Broken-hearted Girl' by Beyonce.
When I walked into the lobby the girl at the front counter tried to ignore me as I mopped by. I sighed, pushing the front entrance door open. It was pretty messed up that just by the sight of him, I was on the edge of tears all over again.
I waved down a cab and told him where to go. I leaned against the door, and couldn't hold it in. One tear, just one, ran down my cheek. This was going to be impossible…
