Hey people! :) Sorry I was planning on updating this a few weeks ago but I got kind of busy with school work. I know that isn't much of an excuse, but at least this is a long chapter. :)

This chapter is dedicated to Mc Alice Bella Grey. Keep up the reviews and maybe the next chapter will be dedicated to you!


Bella's POV:

"Hey, Bella," someone said and I turned. Mike was standing there smiling at me with a glass of wine in his hand. "You look gorgeous, as usual."

"Thank you," I answered, though I honestly didn't agree. Rosalie had dressed me tonight in a long blue gown and silver heels. I hated it, but Rosalie said it was beautiful on me, so I took her word on it.

"Can I get you a drink?" Mike asked, holding out his glass. I took a step back and shook my head frantically.

"No, I'm allergic."

"You're allergic to wine?" he asked, obviously trying to keep a straight face. "It's all right if you don't want to drink; you don't have to make up lies."

I shook my head again. "I'm honestly highly allergic." Mike raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

"Wow, I've never heard of that before."

"Yeah," I said awkwardly. I never liked talking about this; it made me feel weak. Luckily, Mike noticed and set his glass down on a table.

"Okay. No wine."

"You don't have to do that," I told him.

"No, it's all right. I was actually wondering if you wanted to dance with me."

"Oh. Um, I'm not exactly the best dancer," I whispered, staring at my feet.

Mike laughed and I blushed. "I don't mind. Here, I'll lead you." He held out his hand and I took it. His other hand wrapped around my waist and he looked a little more comfortable with that than he should have been. We started dancing slowly and I was careful not to fall.

"So, have you heard about those criminals in town?"

"No."

"Oh, well you'd better stay inside; there are three of them, two males and one female. Just make sure you be careful."

I nodded. "I will."

"Okay, good. Now, have you heard about what happened at Lauren's party last month?"

"Nope," I answered and he started on about Lauren and her friends. I wasn't interested in what he was saying; Lauren and her posse didn't like me. I started looking over Mike's shoulder for a distraction while nodding occasionally to make Mike think I was listening. That's when I saw the most handsome man I'd ever seen staring at me and I froze.

Why was he staring at me? I wasn't anything special, but he looked the same way I probably did right now. His green eyes and bronze colored hair were so unique, I'd never seen anything like him.

"Bella?" Mike asked in a worried tone.

"Hmm?" I asked, not really paying attention.

"Are you okay?"

"Better than ever," I answered honestly. "Hey, Mike, it was great dancing with you. Bye." I started towards the man, who glanced around. I realized that he was talking to Jessica and freaked out. Was he with her? I accidently stepped on the edge of my dress and fell forward, but two strong hands grabbed me around the waist. He pulled me up and I blushed when I heard Jacob's familiar laugh.

"Wow, Bells, you just won't ever stop being clumsy, will you?"

"Nice to see you too, Jacob. Now, if you'll excuse me, I was on my way to go see someone." I pried his hands off of me and walked away before he had a chance to reply. The angel of my dreams said something to Jessica and started towards me, making my heart pound faster in my chest.

"Hi," I said shyly when we were close enough together.

"Hello," he said in a beautiful voice that made my heart soar. He held his hand out. "Would you like to dance?" I couldn't believe it. Out of all the gorgeous girls here, he wants to dance with me? I put my hand in his and we walked out to the center of the room. We began dancing and I forgot my clumsiness altogether when I stared into his eyes.

"Whoo!" someone called from behind me. Some people were shouting angrily and I turned.

"Emmett, no!" the man I was dancing with (I really need to find out his name) shouted as someone ran into me and spilled a huge bucket of something dark all over my dress. It smelled like...wine! I screamed and stumbled backwards, falling into my dance partner's arms.

"Is that wine?" Esme cried and ran over to us. My head started throbbing and my vision was turning blurry. Esme lifted me from his arms and stood me up straight.

"Help! Someone help! She's having an allergic reaction!" A crowd of people surrounded me and asked me how I was feeling or what had happened. I tried to answer but it was difficult with my throbbing head and the fact that the questions were coming too quick for me to answer.

"They're Masens!" I heard Jacob shout. "Someone get them!"

"Run!" the man that had run into me yelled. I could barely see now, but I saw the angel I'd danced with running out the door, too. He was a Masen? I stared after his blurry figure with wide eyes as someone was putting my medicine into my mouth. Out of all the men in the world, I just happened to fall in love with the one who was supposed to be my worst enemy. How had I managed that?


Edward's POV:

"Edward! Come on! We're going to be late!" Emmett exclaimed when he found me laying on my bed in my room. I was ready for the party, but then I started wondering if Tanya would be there.

"Here, put this on." He tossed the mask from earlier at me.

"I'm not putting this on right now; I'll look stupid."

"Whatever, just come on. I've got some awesome pranks in store for Swan."

I sighed. "Boy, are they going to be mad at us."

"You don't even know what I'm planning yet."

"Yeah, but if it's anything like your previous plans, it won't be good."


"Invitation," one of the guards outside the door said. Jasper pulled out the letter and showed the man. "All right. Have fun, Mr. Yorkie and friends."

"Poor Eric Yorkie," I said when we passed through the door. "He won't be able to come now."

"Look," Emmett whispered and we turned.

"I swear!" a man was yelling at the guards. "I'm on the list! My name is Eric Yorkie! My invitation was stolen by two men! One was a blond about this tall and the other- There they are! Right there!" Eric pointed at Jasper and Emmett and tried to get passed the guards.

"Nice try," one of them said as he grabbed Eric. "But you aren't getting into this party."

"Come on! I'm Eric Yorkie! Not him!"

"Let's go," Jasper whispered and we walked further into the house to where the party was taking place. Jasper saw two of his friends, Peter and Charlotte, and went off with them. Emmett said he was ready to put his plan into action, which was definitely not a good thing. I wasn't sure what to do, so I just stayed in a dark corner to keep attention off of me. Apparently, it wasn't working too well.

"Hey," a girl with brunette hair walked up to me after about a minute. "I'm Jessica. I haven't seen you around before."

"Yeah, I'm not from here."

"Oh, that would explain it. So where are you from?"

"Uh...it's a small town far away from here. I'm just here visiting my cousin." We hadn't discussed what to tell other people if they asked, so I just figured I might as well make up my own lie- not that I'm a good liar.

"Oh, well, I hope you'll be here for a while." She started going on about herself and I began looking over her shoulder for an excuse to leave. That's when I saw her, the most beautiful girl in the world. My jaw dropped at the sight of her and I took off my mask to get a better look. She had beautiful brown, wavy hair and chocolate brown eyes. She was dancing with a blond man who was talking and looking at her in a way that I didn't like at all. The girl was nodding but she looked bored and her eyes were scanning the room.

Then I caught her eye and she froze, eyes widening. She said something to the guy and started walking in my direction. I turned to look behind me but there wasn't anyone else besides Jessica and I over here. She was walking to me? I felt like I might faint. Suddenly, the girl tripped and I wanted to help her, but a tan man with dark hair grabbed her around the waist before she hit the ground. She blushed when the man laughed and straightened her out, not releasing her from his grasp. She said something to him and then started walking to me again.

"Hey, are you all right?" I realized Jessica was still standing there, talking.

"I'll see you later," I said, walking to the angel.

"Hi," she said when we were finally only two feet apart. Her face looked so soft and I wished I could touch it, but that would be impolite.

"Hello," I replied, holding my hand out to her. "Would you like to dance?" She beamed and placed her hand in mine. I led her out to the center of the dance floor and put my arm around her waist while she put hers on my shoulder. It felt so natural as we moved together and just stared into eachother's eyes.

"Whoo!" an all too familiar voice called out from behind the angel after a few seconds. Oh, no. There were a few angry shouts. The girl turned around to see what all the rucuss was about and I realized too late what was happening.

"Emmett, no!" I cried just as he ran into her and spilled a huge bucket of wine all over her. She screamed and stumbled, falling into my arms.

"Is that wine?" a woman cried and ran over to us. The girl was breathing heavily and her skin was turning pale. The woman took her from my arms and stood her up straight.

"Help! Someone help! She's having an allergic reaction!" A crowd of people, including the blond and tan men surrounded her. I was shocked and didn't know what to do.

Emmett stood back up and Jasper ran over to us from where ever he was the whole time. The tan man looked at us and his eyes widened.

"They're Masens!" he cried. "Someone get them!"

"Oh, no," Jasper mumbled.

"Run!" Emmett yelled and we complied as a bunch of men started chasing us. I turned my head to see the girl choking and staring at me with wide eyes. I wanted to go back; I didn't even know her name, yet I knew it was love. I continued running after Jasper and Emmett.

"Thanks a lot, Emmett!" I huffed when we finally came to a stop in an alley after about fifteen minutes.

"Sorry, man," he apologized. "I wasn't planning on that; you know I'd never do that to a lady. Besides, how was I supposed to know she's allergic to wine?"

I sighed. "Yeah, I guess you're right. What were you planning on doing, anyway?"

Emmett smiled. "I thought I'd go humiliate Swan by soaking him with wine, but the chef started chasing me and I accidentally ran into his daughter instead."

My eyes widened. "What do you mean, his daughter?"

"You know," Jasper said. "Bella Swan, the girl who just had an allergic reaction." My breathing stopped and I couldn't move. The girl I'd just danced with, the angel, was the same girl who was supposed to be my worst enemy.

"Hey, Edward, are you okay?" Jasper asked. "You look kind of pale."

I took a deep breath. "No, I'm not okay."

They stared at me for a few seconds before Emmett broke the silence. "Well, are you going to tell us what's wrong?"

"No."

Jasper snorted. "Okay, then. Be that way" I didn't want to tell them about Bella, at least not yet. I needed to be with her again. I came to a decision and looked up at the other two.

""Hey, I've got to be somewhere. I'll meet up with you guys later, okay?" Jasper shook his head and Emmett rolled his eyes. I ignored them and started running back to the Swan house.


Thanks for reading! I know the whole wine allergy thing is kind of weird and I'm not actually allergic to any foods so correct me if I'm wrong about the reaction. Review! Remember, I'll pick the best review and dedicate the next chapter to them and also send them a sneak peek of the next chapter! It's going to be the balcony scene!
