How's it going? Anyway, I'm taking a break from homework to write this. Yay!

Chapter 8: This Party

BPOV

The last few days were a blur. It was like my mind was on fast forward and I just couldn't stop it. There was no stop or pause button. I can't even explain why time decided to elude me, just like a snitch eludes the seeker. But suddenly, as if I had been pulled from some strange dream, I realized I was at the Breaking Dawn release party. In just an hour I wouldn't be anywhere near this place. I didn't even know where I was going.

But I did know with whom I was going with.

Somehow, through some strange impossibility, we managed to blend in with the "Twilighters." Just as I had suspected (and Alice saw) the place was filled with teenage girls, their mothers, and the random boyfriend or husband. But mostly teenage girls.

Edward was trying his best to block them, but I could tell it wasn't going so well. Not that their thoughts centered on us. They were centered on the Bella and Edward in the book they were impatiently waiting to read.

I didn't need Edward's power to know what they were thinking. More like imagining. Something along the line of me and Edward…together. Some probably harboured thoughts of me and Jake being together. Most of the humans wore "Team Edward" shirts, but a select few had "Team Jacob" on their shirts. Edward didn't look particularly happy with those shirts.

Edward held my hand as we weaved our way through the crowd. The Barnes & Noble parking lot was packed, but we still managed to keep track of everyone.

We were headed towards Alice and Jasper. Rosalie and Emmett were with Esme and Carlisle on the other side of the lot. In just half an hour we were going to meet as far away from the line as humanly possible, while still being in Jasper's recommended distance.

It was Carlisle's idea, actually, but Jasper refined it. We didn't want anyone to notice us disappearing, but we still had to be close enough for the pandemonium to work to our advantage. If we were too far away the author could possibly notice is trying to leave. If we stayed close she could focus more on the people surrounding us rather than us.

There were humans dressed up like various members of my family, but mostly me mixed in with a few Edwards. None of them really looked like any of us, but Rose probably found it somewhat flattering. There were a few girls dressed up like her and they did a fairly good job considering they were just humans.

It was five minutes until midnight so we all headed to the "designated" spot and held hands while we waited for midnight. We were all putting absolute trust in Carlisle. Hopefully we'd vanish and not be missed.

This book world was really crazy.

I know you're reading this...and I know who's not leaving me lovely reviews. I appreciate the favourites a lot, though :) But reviews let me know how I can improve, what's working, and what everyone thinks in general. Thanks again for reading. This story has a good amount of hits! And thank you to the reviewers who pointed out the more confusing parts. I've been working on cleaning that up, I promise!
