Chapter 13

BPOV

It was almost time to leave to go to the party, and Alice was still "Bella Barbie-ing" me.

"Isabella Marie Swan! Can you hold still for at least one minute!?!" Alice scolded, the curling iron in her hand.

"Well if you didn't take so long then I probably could've held still!" I retorted.

"Well I WOULDN'T TAKE SO LONG IF YOU STAYED STILL!!"

"Well, I would've-"

I got cut off. The doorbell rang. Who could that be? Don't the guys have a key to get in?

"ROSALIE HALE! GET THE DOOR!" Alice screamed.

Ding Dong Ding

"I can't!! I'm in a towel!! You get the door!" she said, sticking her head out the bathroom. She soon closed the door and I heard the door click shut and the hair dryer turned on.

Ding Dong Ding.

Alice gave a big huff, and then shouted "Coming!!" She then handed me the curling iron and stomped her way to the door in her extremely tall heels and gold dress.

I heard the door creak open and then two familiar voices. It wasn't Edward's, Jasper's or even Emmett's.

It was Jacob and Nessie.

EPOV

After Emmett showed up and decided that he should bring up the argument again, Jasper and I completely wrecked the house.

He kept on wondering, "why Lauren?" you see, I wouldn't answer, so I just threw something at him.

Truth is, I really don't know why I chose to go with Lauren. Why couldn't I go by myself? Or someone else? Why Lauren?

I really didn't know.

Jasper and Emmett went to go get ready, so I told them I would meet them at mom and dad's house.

So here I am. In my silver Volvo, in front of Lauren's house.

I got out of the car and slowly walked up the steps. I rang the doorbell and waited for her to answer the door.

"Eddie!" Lauren said with a nasally voice and what was supposed to be a seductive smile. I cringed.

She was dressed in a red and black dress. It was extremely short and the only thing holding the top together was a thin piece of string. Erm…

What have I gotten myself into?

a/n: All dresses and shoes for the girls are on my webpage..(evn tho i didnt rly describe. sry.) but OMG BELLA'S DRESS IS BEAUTIFUL!! lol sry. i just wished i had a dress like it.

BPOV

"Jakey!!! Nessie!!" I yelled. I quickly put down the curling iron and ran toward the front door. Whoaa!!

I slid across the floor and soon ended up kissing the ground.

I heard a loud laugh. "Still as clumsy as always, aren't you Bella." Jacob tsked, he held his hand out to help me up.

"It's not funny Jacob. Seriously. Anyways what are you two doing here?" I asked as he enveloped me into a hug. Sometimes this guy reminds me a bit like Emmett. If they knew each other, I bet they'd be good friends.

"We thought we would visit so you wouldn't forget us after you got all famous. Duh!! Alice gave us the address to the place you guys were temporary living. Anyways, why are you two all dressed up?"

"Oh. We are going-"I got interrupted by a loud noise in the front yard. THUMP!

"Jasper! Ah! Shit! NO! that's not fair!" I heard Emmett say.

I ran out the door. Emmett was on the floor and Jasper was on top of him, they were wrestling. On the front yard. In formal attire.

"EMMETT CULLEN!! JASPER WHITLOCK!! STOP NOW!! WE HAVE COMPANY!" I screamed.

They immediately stopped, and saw Nessie and Jacob. The got up and straightened their shirts.

Awkward silence followed and nobody moved. Jasper and Emmett were staring at Jacob and Nessie, as if they were trying to remember something, while Jacob and Nessie were staring at them back, with a smug grin on their faces. Jasper suddenly had a flash of recognition in his eyes.

"Jake? Nessie? Wow. It's been a long time." Jasper said slowly with a genuine smile on his face. He walked toward them and gave them both a short hug.

"Hey Jasper, how-" Nessie started.

"OH MY GOSH! Jacob?! Nessie?!? IS THAT YOU?!?" Emmett asked, eyes wide. He ran toward them, knocked Jasper out of the way and gathered them both into his signature bear hugs. I laughed. Someone's a little slow.

Wait. They both know each other?

"You guys remember us?" Jacob asked. I looked at them in confusion.

"Well of course we remember you guys. How can we not?!" Emmett said, still in an excited manner.

"Well you guys did get all famous, and you moved and all that." Nessie added.

"WOAHH! Wait. Ya'll know each other?!" Alice stated. I hadn't realized she was standing next to me still, since she has been quiet since.

"Yeah. We all used to hang out together when we were younger, like in middle school. Then they moved and we haven't talked to them since." Nessie said.

What a small world.

"Oh well after we moved, this dumb butt over here lost that slip of paper with your email address and phone number on it. But we tried!" Jasper said. Everyone laughed.

"Where's Edward?" Jacob suddenly asked, as if realizing that one out of the three was missing.

"Oh. He's going over to some bitch's house to bring her to the party. For some reason he wouldn't take Bella. I really thought he liked her too, but after one random day, he just started acting weird around her." Emmett said.

"Really? Cause I would think Bella and him would be perfect together. Seriously, with their stubbornness and everything. Except for the clumsy part. She has enough of that for the both of them." Jacob answered.

"HELLO!? I'm right here! No need to talk about me when I'm here!" I said. They took one look at me, and laughed.

"How's Carlisle and Esme doing?" Jacob asked when he got over his laughing fit. I seriously don't see what was so funny.

"They're doing great, in fact, we are going to their Christmas party right now. You and Nessie could come if you want. I don't think they would mind. They would probably be glad to see you." Jasper said with a wide smile on his face. If he smile any bigger, his face would stay stretched like that forever.

"Oh no , it's perfectly fine, we don't have the right clothes to go. " Nessie said apologetically. "I don't think Hollywood stars dress like this, to go to a party." She motioned at her skinny jeans, converse and t-shirt.

"Nonsense!" Alice said. "I couldn't decide what dress I wanted to wear so I bought two, you can have the other one."

Alice then ran lightning speed into the house (with her heels on), and came back out with a purple dress, and matching shoes.

"Oh. Are you sure Alice?" Nessie said, taking the clothes reluctantly.

"Yeah, I'm sure. Jasper? Do you have any clothes for Jacob to wear?"

"Yeah, I think I do, inside my house which you guys are currently residing in, if u don't remember." Jasper said with a smile.

"Okay, then we are all set!" Alice said exuberantly.

"Anyways, Alice? Can you like finish my hair? It's not done!!" I motioned to my half curled hair. Everyone laughed. I then pulled Alice back into the house.

::30 minutes later::

"Oh my God. That is sooo cool!!" Nessie exclaimed, when we were all in the limo on our way to the Cullen family house. Alice sat near the buttons and pressed each one.

"Sorry Chris." Jasper shrugged at the limo driver who was getting slightly annoyed that Alice kept on opening and closing the window that separated the driver and passengers. Jasper put his arm around Alice, comfortingly.

Rosalie and Emmett were cuddled up on the other side of the limo, Rose's head on his shoulder.

Jacob was watching Nessie with a loving gaze as she admired the interior of the limo.

Everyone looked so comfortable and peaceful with their partners. I sighed then tuned everyone out as I looked at the sights outside. The blur of lights, soon turned into a blur of gigantic houses.

The limo slowly pulled to a stop. Oh my god. I looked at the house in front of me. You know what, I wouldn't even call it a house, I would call it more like a mansion. With an expertly designed exterior of course. There was even a circular driveway type thing.

"Hey yo BEEELLLAAAA!" Emmett yelled in my face, breaking me out of my thinking. Everyone was already on their way up the steps.

I silently followed them, as I looked at the house in awe. After Jasper rang the doorbell and a nice looking woman answered the door, who looked like she was in her late thirties or mid forties.

"Hey MOM!!!" Emmett said as he ran to give her a big hug. I was surprised she wasn't knocked over. After she got out of her sons embraces, she gestured to the rest of us.

"Welcome every-" she started, then stared at Nessie and Jacob. "Oh my god. Nessie and Jacob. Wow. It has been too long." she said and gave them both a hug, whispering something in their ear.

After she gotten over that, she motioned for me, Alice and Rose to come over and give her a hug also.

"And you must be Bella, Alice and Rosalie. My boys have been talking so much about you three. It's so great to finally meet you." She said.

"You too Mrs. Cullen." I said, smiling warmly to her.

"Oh please, call me Esme. Mrs. Cullen reminds me of Carlisle's mother." She said, her nose scrunched up. While Emmett and Jasper laughed.

"Where's Edward?" Esme asked, as she realized that one of her boys were missing.

"Oh. He's just picking up someone. He should be here shortly." Jasper said, then led Alice by the hand to some other part of this gigantic house.

Esme then nodded and motioned for us all to follow her to another part of the house, where I assume the party would take place in. It was a huge party type room, with a stage, and cool lights on the ceiling. There was a lot of people running around, probably getting the food and drinks ready. There were even a bunch of tables and chairs set up.

"Wow." That was all I could say. This looked like it all cost a fortune.

"Yep. Wow." Jacob said looking around.

"Well, the guests are starting to arrive so if you excuse me, please enjoy whatever happens to happen this early, and you will expect some people, singing live onstage soon." Esme said and then gracefully walked out to the front door.

By 9 PM this place was packed, filled with famous people and not so famous people. If you looked outside, there was a hoard of limos and fancy and expensive sports cars parked all over the place, but no paparazzi. I smiled. It's a wonder what a big fancy gate could do too.

I moved away from the window, and struggled against the crowd. I went past the dancing people and made my way to the kitchen. I opened the huge kitchen doors and walked in. I spotted Esme talking to the chef who was preparing finger foods like cocktail shrimp, and even cookies.

"Hey Esme." I said as I walked up to her.

"Bella," she greeted warmly. I couldn't help but smile back.

"Do you need me to help with anything?" I offered. I mean that was the least I could do right?

"Oh no no no." Esme said, then she lightly pushed me toward the door. "This is a party dear, go dance."

I nodded and walked back into the crowd. Before I left the kitchen, I could've sworn I heard her say, "Alice warned me that she would do that" I rolled my eyes and went to go find my friends.

"BELLA!" some one screamed out my name. I turned my head in search for the mystery voice. Alice.

"ALICE! OH MY GOD I WAS LOOKING FOR YOU!!!" I screamed back. The volume that the live band was singing at was deafening. And the word deafening doesn't even cover it, but I didn't mind. That band was Mayday Parade, and they were basically my role models. Maybe I should ask for a autograph later. I smiled at the thought and walked over to where she and Jasper were standing.

She then grabbed my hand and motioned for me to dance. Jasper then left her side and disappeared into the crowd.

We danced for a few more songs by other bands then sat down at one of the tables for a break.

"Want something to drink?" Alice asked me, excitedly.

"Sure." I smiled at her, and watched as her pixie like self dissolve into the crowd. After she was gone I turned my attention to the ever moving crowd.

I scanned my eyes till I found the familiar bronze color messed up hair that I love. Whoa. Did I just think that? No. I don't love him, and anyways he's got that tramp over there. What's her name? Lauren I think. Ugh. Just look at what she's wearing. Edward was sitting, like me, but Lauren was opposite him, evidently trying to seduce him. Edward had a bored and annoyed expression on his face. Hm… I still wonder. What did I do to him that made him mad?

Ugh. Guys. You can never understand them.

EPOV

After a few exhausting rounds of Lauren grinding against me in the crowd, I grabbed her hand and led her to an empty table along the side.

A passing waiter walked toward me and I took two drinks, one fruity looking cocktail and a can of coke.

I passed the cocktail to Lauren, who took it greedily. I wasn't in the mood for her right now. I stared at her bad attempts at seduction and tried to make the best out of it.

I mean I bet Bella's out here right now somewhere in this house spending time with Jacob. Ugh. I couldn't even think of his name.

I scanned the crowd and found Bella, in her beautiful turquiose dress sitting by herself. Psh.. if I was Jacob then I would be dancing with her or at least keeping her company. A woman like Bella should never be left alone like that.

"Hey Lauren, I'm going to be right back okay? You can like dance or eat. Or drink. Or do something kay?"

She pouted at me then said, "Whatever Eddie. Just come back soon."

I quickly got out of my chair and made my way toward Bella, but I was soon "bear hugged" and dragged off the dance floorr by someone as huge as Emmett, but I was sure it wasn't. I slowly turned my head. Who the hell thinks that they could "bear hug" me and capture me now? At a party too?!

What I didn't expect was my long lost best friend. Jacob.

a/n: there ya go. probably sucky. Sorry. I wanted to give you a 30 page chapter or something, but my brain's not working.. so u gtta deal with a 16 page one instead. Thanks. and that's partially cuz im losing my inspiration… does anyone have any tips or ideas to help me out? because that would be awesome if you do.

By the way, if I don't get much inspiration for this story, then im going to have to find a way to end it… even tho it might be a bit awkward.
