ME: I OWN TWILIGHT AND EVERYTHING IN IT! ESPECIALLY EDWARD! HE LOVES ME!

Edward: No, you don't. Stephenie Meyer does. AND STOP THINKING ABOUT WHAT I MIGHT LOOK LIKE SHIRTLESS! I love Bella.

ME: *sighs heavily* fine.

Warning: Edward is pretty OOC in this chapter, because… well… he gets DRUNK! (whoops! Spoiler! Hopefully you're like me and you just skip over the beginning author's note! Teehee)

We walked into the party and into the throngs of people. There had to be a gazillion people here! Her house was pretty big for the people of Forks. She wasn't as rich as the Cullens, but you could tell she had cash. Alice and her boyfriend Jasper ran up to us. Well, Alice ran, and Jasper trailed behind.

"OMG! BELLA!" Alice squealed, "You look sooooooooo good! I knew blue was the right color for you! But, you really should have let me do your makeup…"

I put my hand over her mouth. "Alice! Calm down!" Once I was sure that she wouldn't start squealing (well, as sure as you can ever be with Alice) I took my hand away. I noticed Edward was no longer standing next to me and Alice started looking around.

"Looks like Lauren's already got her claws into Edward." Alice said with disgust. I looked around and sure enough, there was Lauren and Jessica, her minion, practically attacking Edward. He looked so funny, like a dear caught in headlights.

"Eddie! I'm SO glad you could make it! Are you having fun?" Lauren screeched. Me and Alice burst out laughing. Edward absolutely despised being called Eddie. He could not STAND it. His older brother, Emmett called him it to annoy him and it usually ended with them wrestling on the floor.

"Time for me to go save him." I said to Alice and Jasper. Then I walked over to him, wrapped my arms around his waist, and kissed him on the cheek in an affectionate manner, trying to make it look like we were together. "Eddie!" I squealed, trying to annoy him. His eyes visibly darkened that I called him Eddie, but since I was saving him, he let it go.

"There you are! I've been looking all over for you!"

"Oh, hello Beatrice. Fancy seeing you here. You know, I don't actually remember inviting you." Lauren said in her nasal voice.

"It's Be-lla and I'm Edward's plus one." I said, leaning my head on Edward's shoulder.

"There are no plus ones at my pa-"

'Well, we have to go now, bye!" Edward cut her off. Then we both bolted. By the time we got back to Alice and Jasper, Emmett and his girlfriend Rosalie had already joined them. Emmett and Alice started clapping, hooting, and hollering and I bowed.

"There might be an actress in you yet!" Alice said patting me on the back. "That was some great acting!"

"Haha! I just realized something! Edward was saved by the bell! Get it? Because her name is BELL-a? HAHA! HAHA!" Emmett said cracking up. We all rolled our eyes and Rosalie smacked him on the back of the head.

He stopped laughing.

All of a sudden Mike Newton and Tyler Crowley, some of Edward's friend came up to us.

"Dude! What did you do to Lauren? She is like FUMING!" Mike said

We told them the story, and they laughed.

"So, Edward, wanna beer?" Mike asked.

"Edward…" I said in a warning tone.

He turned to me, gave me a sheepish grin, then he nodded to Mike and him, Mike, and Tyler ran off.

"EDWARD!" I yelled about to go stop him. Ugh! I can't believe him! HE PROMISED! I was almost to them when Rosalie and Alice grabbed my shoulder and pulled me back.

"Bella, come on, he's 18 years old! He can take care of himself!"

I sighed but then relented, and I was glad I did. Because, we forgot about Edward. We danced and laughed, and danced and laughed, and danced and laughed some more;. When I thought I couldn't take one more step, or do one more chuckle, I went off to find Edward.

Sure enough, I found him stumbling around all alone in the kitchen, having yet another beer. I grabbed him from behind and stopped his swaying.

"Come on, Edward, you've had enough."

"I'm fine." He said shaking me off.

"No, you're not ok. You're drunk."

"Don't get your panties in a twist (a/n: I know that is OOC. I had originally had him saying "don't get your knickers in a twist" in a British accent. *swoons* sexy as hell.) I'm fine, perfectly sober." He stumbled and slurred over his words, proving himself wrong.

"No, come on Edward, you need too-"

"NO! You're not my mom or my girlfriend! So stop acting like it! You're not the boss of me! I don't need you!" he yelled at me. Tears stung the corners of my eyes. I knew he was drunk but it still hurt that he would say that.

"Okay, you don't need me? I'll leave." So I did. I ran to the front porch to get some fresh air. There were a few guys smoking cigarettes but as soon as they saw my tears they bolted, guess they couldn't deal with emotion girls. Thank you, God.

After a good twenty minutes of crying, I got up to go inside. But, I lost my footing and started to fall to the pavement. Luckily, somebody caught me. But it wasn't Edward's cold arms that I was accustomed to. On the contrary, these person's arms were burning me, but not in a bad way… They were making my senses alight. I looked up into the eyes of someone with russet colored skin and shoulder-length black hair.

"Hi, I'm Jacob Black."
