BPOV

I walked out of the bathroom to find Alice flipping through a magazine waiting for me. She didn't look up at me as I walked to my bedroom to get dressed. I walked back out, rubbing my hair with a towel, to find her still on the couch.

"Anything good?" I said when she finally looked at me.

"Are you ok?" She tossed to magazine to the coffee table standing up.

"Yea why wouldn't I be?"

"Bella come on. I've been there remember."

"Edward and I are not dating, so I have no right to be mad at him really." She gave me a dirty look. "What? Do you want me to say that it bothers me? Yes, it does. Or that I wanted to rip the girl off him by her hair. Hell yea I did. But I don't have that right. He's not mine Alice. What can I do?" I let the towel fall to my side. I had thought about all this in the shower. How without knowing her name I hated her. How I wanted to yell at Edward for letting some girl sit on him. I tried to push the thoughts away and get rid of that sick feeling in the bottom of my stomach.

"Fine. Then we are going to get ready. We are going to make sure you look extra sexy and we are going to go out shake our asses and get drunk." She walked past me grabbing my arm dragging me into the bathroom.

Throughout the next few hours Alice and I joked, laughed and got ready. By that time I was sitting on the toilet seat while Alice did my make up. Our tasks to make ourselves ready seemed to be slowed down due to not being able to quit laughing. It was good to laugh. It felt good to sometimes forget about the girl on Edwards lap. The more time past the more I felt like I was going to enjoy my night out.

"Done." Alice said taking a step back. I held my breath for a moment before I stood in front of the mirror and gasped. It didn't even look like me. Well it did, but I was never one to wear makeup. I never really knew how to do it well so I never bothered. But the shirt hugged my toned stomach perfectly, the shorts showed my long legs, the smokey eye shadow to the slightly glittered mascara accented my eyes so much I was stunned at how amazing they looked. I always thought my brown eyes were boring and dull, but not anymore.

"Alice, you should do this for a living!"

"Oh I'm so glad you love it! Wait till Edward see's you. He isn't going to remember Tanya's name." I frowned a little. I hadn't known who she was till now.

"Who is she anyway?"

"A friend of Rose's. A stuck up bitch. Anyway she's always wanted him but he has never gave in, that I know of anyway. But she usually throws herself at him every chance she gets."

"Oh." I wasn't sure that information made me feel better but I would take it. I wasn't going to let some friends with benefits situation ruin my night. "Ready?" I said turning to her. To me going out at, well, close to seven was early but I guess this party was different, it started at six but Alice said we didn't need to be there right away.

As we made our way back downstairs I suddenly got nervous. Alice must have seen it in my face because she wrapped her arm in mine giving me a week and pulling me through the door to the shop.

"Damn Bella you look hot!" Rose said as she was the only one facing us but at her announcement we held the attention of everyone in there. Emmett turned his head pulling his eyebrows together apparently not liking something. The guy receiving a tattoo from Edward whistled. Edward just stared. I smiled eternally, happy that he was noticing me and that the Tanya girl had left.

"Thanks. I had an amazing stylist." I said smiling at Alice.

We walked out without another word, mainly because we didn't give them time. We got in the cab and took off for the party. I was nervous again but this time to use the fake id. I didn't want to get caught and I knew they were illegal to use.

"Stop squirming," Alice said with a laugh. "We are here anyway. This is going to be great!"

We spent hours dancing and drinking. I was introduced to so many people, I had forgotten most of their names. Oh who was I kidding I remembered maybe two names.

"Hey." I turned quickly to see who had spoke to me. I didn't know who he was. I studied him for a second to try and remember if it was someone that Alice had introduced me to. "I'm James." He held out his hand for me to shake. I smiled and took it. "Want to dance?" I studied him for another moment before I nodded following him to deck filled with people.
