Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Wow. That's a depressing thought

Chapter 4

Bpov

My loft was officially packed. As I looked around the room, I felt like I should be depressed to be leaving this place, I mean there were some pretty good times hear, but I just didn't feel any sadness. In fact, I was feeling really giddy, I felt like screaming from my balcony, shouting from the rooftops, call me cliché if you will, but I wanted to do just that.

I wiped the hair off my face that had been stuck there to do the excessive amount of sweat that I seemed to have perspired due to the packing – EW. I probably smelt like crap. I took a whiff of my pits – Ewwwwwwww, Kay shower here I come. Luckily I thought ahead and left my shower supplies out, to be put away easily once I was done. I hopped into the shower and let the stench of packing and the stress of the week roll off my body. Once I was done in the shower I hopped out and dried myself off thourgily, and just tied my wet hair up into a messy bun at the nape of my neck.

I threw on some old ratty sweat pants and a plain green t-shirt, I may have a better fashion sense, but sometimes the comfort of sweats is what you need. I sat in the middle of my used-to-be living room; I was waiting for workers from the company I paid to take ship my positions to Washington to arrive. As I was sitting I stared out the wide window that gave me a beautiful view of the city. As I looked out I observed the bustling city, the people in business suits rushing around getting ready for another day of work, the cars rushing by, the taxis stopping to drop people off.

I started to think about why I ever enjoyed this life in the first place. I mean I didn't really have anyone... I had Jacob, some co-workers, and a couple girlfriends who I wouldn't even consider friends. I used to have Jasper, but then he moved, again, Why did I ever enjoy this city? There was no peace. Always rushing about heading to work, heading out for the night, a meeting, home to do more work. All the more reason for Washington!

With A dreamy sigh I thought of Washington. I wonder what Emmett would be like now. The last time I had seen him in person he was a gangly awkward teen. No muscle what so ever, crazy bushy hair. He was a really awesome brother though. Calling me ridiculous names like Sissy Cub, I missed that. Always looking out for me, punching any boy who looked my way, although I hoped he wouldn't do that if He accepts me back into my life. God, I hope he doesn't hate me. What if he does hate me? Will I stay in Washington? Will I be heartbroken? Will—I have to stop with these questions, focus on the positive, eye on the prize. Okay that was cliché.

Ding, Dong! -

The doorbell sounded as I squealed like some deranged fan girl for some reason, and rushed to the door and threw it open hastily. Wow, was I excited or what?

"Hi you must be here to pick up my furniture! Come on in there are boxes all over the place, but there all labelled so it should be okay."

"Thank you miss..." he looked down at his sheet. "...Swan."

"Oh please call me Bella! I'm so glad you're here I have to catch a plane at midnight I know right. Very soon. So if you nice gentlemen could complete this... process as quickly as possible I would so grateful, could I offer you some refreshments? Oh wait sorry I have none, well I have tap water but you know no cups. You could drink for the tap if you want but that would be sort of awkward." Looking at the shocked expressions I blushed at my ridiculous outburst of excitement, stupid blush. "Oh—I'm rambling, sorry, just really excited."

"It's alright Miss Sw—Bella" He replied in an amused tone.

"Well right then. I'll leave you to it; I have to go, make sure everything is ready for my flight anyways."

--

About 2 hours later the guys were done and my loft was empty, and that looked so odd to me. I roamed around my place; scratch that, my old place. Id miss it for sure, but moving on was what I needed. A clean break. A break from this city, A break from these people, a break from Jake. Speaking of Jake we hadn't talked since that incident which was about a week ago. I hope he'll forgive me.

I blew up the air mattress I had left in the middle of my loft along with the one blanket and pillow, and settles down for a nights rest.

--

I woke up the next morning with a stiff back from the air mattress, but forgot that as soon as I realized I'd be leaving for my flight soon. I hopped up and brushed my teeth quickly, forgoing make-up, Id fix myself up when I landed. I put the last things in my suitcase and left my key in the mail slot by my door, where the owner of the complex told me to leave it and walked to the elevator.

I walked back to my door, grabbed my suit case and carry on and walked to the elevator. I exited the building and hailed a cab.

"Where to Miss?" The driver asked once I was in and my suitcase was situated.

"LaGuardia Airport Please." I asked politely only letting a little of my excitement seep through.

The ride was silent and I quickly arrived at the airport, paid the cab, and got my luggage. I didn't have much because most was being delivered. I hoped I had enough to last me until my stuff was delivered. I practically skipped into the airport, until I realized that I was still wearing ratty old sweats and didn't want to draw any more attention to myself than necessary. So I walked into the airport with more bounce into my step and walked to the desk to check in for my flight. There was a pretty girl sitting at the counter, with raven black hair, and light brown eyes.

"Hi and welcome to delta airlines, what can I help you with today?" She smiled politely.

"Uhm... yes I'm boarding the 10 o'clock morning flight to Seattle, Tacoma."

"Oh! Sure one second please" I waited as she processed my ticket.

"And how many suitcases will you be bringing with you today?"

"Just one and I have a carry on." She nodded, and took my suitcase as I handed it to her. She processed labelled the luggage and sent it on the back conveyor.

"Heres your boarding pass, and Have a safe flight ma'am, Thank you for flying Delta air" I smiled and waved as I grabbed my pass, and walked in the direction of customs with my carry on.

Once I was through customs and security, not to mention one very uncomfortable body search. Big stupid man had the never to think that 'I looked like carried a deadly weapon' the frisk me and say 'sorry baby i got mixed up you're the deadly weapon'. I shivered remembering that.

I waited in the boarding area designated for my flight. I curled up on one of the empty benches and pulled out my tattered copy of Wuthering heights and soon disappeared into my world of classical romance.

What felt like ten minutes later my flight was called. I handed my pass in and walked through the tunnel onto the plane, once I was situated with my luggage overhead I pulled out my iPod and settled into the flight I couldn't wait to be home.

Home... how right that word fit.

--

As I was drifting asleep I heard the pilot come on to make an announcement

"Attention all passenger delta airlines should be arriving in Seattle in approximately 5 minutes, please buckle up and prepare for a landing."

I gave a quiet squeal and glances at my watch It was about 4 in the afternoon, and I felt all my muscles cramp up from sitting in this position for 6 hours. I felt the plan descend and held tight onto the arm rests, I was honestly scared for my life, I always hated the landing of planes.

I felt the wheels make contact with the ground, and the quick pace it started of with then finally slowed down. This pilot did make a pretty smooth landing, so I clapped along with everyone else. Once it was safe I grabbed my luggage from overhead and wheeled it off the plane as well as moving myself off the plane.

I quickly made my way through customs, and luggage and into pick-up.

I looked around trying to find The man who was supposed to meet me hear, when I heard a southern drawl from behind me.

"Could I help you with those bags ma'am" I whipped around and came face to face with Jasper Hale. "JAZZ!!!!!" I squealed and threw myself in his arms.

He laughed whole heartedly and spun me around. "What'cher there Bells, your starting to sound like Alice." He grinned at my petrified face. I could never be that hyper. Ever.

I finally took a step back and looked at Jasper, he seemed to have gotten more handsome then the last time I saw him. He had a golden complexion that complimented his sunny locks that curled and hung around his face. His face seemed more defined then the last time I saw him 2 and half years ago. He was clean shaven. He wore a vintage tee, and faded jeans with a massive belt buckle and of course his favourite beat up cow boy boots, I'm surprised Alice hadn't made him throw it away.

"You look great Jazz" I smiled up at him.

"Thanks Bells, But your pretty smexxay yourself there sweet cheeks" I rolled my eyes at his weird wording. He just smirked. "Well bells, I need to get you to the car were Alice is waiting to pounce you, when she found out you were coming she couldn't plan your wardrobe fast enough." I gulped.

"M-my Wardrobe. She hasn't even met me yet, how will she know what fits me."

He simply said "Never Bet against Alice" and started walking towards the exit with my luggage in hand. I followed behind secretly excited to meet Alice as well, she always made me feel so comfortable on the phone, maybe she could be my first real girlfriend in Seattle, maybe my best girlfriend. I giggled inwardly with excitement threatening to burst.

We walked through the parking lot towards what I'm pretty sure was a bright yellow Porsche when I was hit with force and pulled into a huge bear hug. I assumed this was Alice.

"Oh My Goodness! Bella I am sooo excited that your here and... and... oh my god! I've been waiting all day to see you way to take a long time!" She pulled back and I finally got to look at her. She was stunningly beautiful, but did I expect anything else? She was after all Jaspers fiancée. She was petite, almost pixie like with her tiny figure and graceful little hops she was doing. She had a cute little button nose, gorgeous eyes that were a enchanting light green in colour. Her hair was spikey and raven black. I looked up to meet her eyes and saw them brimming with excitement, and was she... vibrating in her spot? If I thought she was hyper on the phone this was nothing. "We have to go shopping! Jasper always said you were pretty but you're GORGEOUS! I can see you in midnight blues, maybe some emerald greens, peachy pinks!" I smiled in amazement and fear at her incredible enthusiasm.

"Well Id absolutely love to go shopping with you, and I'm nothing compared to how gorgeous you are!"

"Well thank you sweet talker, and don't be modest.-- OH MY GOODNESS!" she cut off mid sentence into an ear shattering squeal.

"Bella! You have to let me help you decorate your House! We can go all out! Art deco theme? No. Jungle motif?, no too hooker-esque. Modern, hopeless romantic chic? Yes!! That has your name written all over it.!" She threw her arms around me again. This time I smiled very timidly. She was scaring me a little, I mean I would love to have her help me decorate, but she needed Ritalin. Thankfully Jasper stepped in.

"Alice honey, I'm sure there will be plenty of time for that later, but Bella hasn't even been in the house yet. I'm also sure she's hungry." He glanced at me sideways. And sure enough my stomach growled. Dang Stomach! Luckily Alice calmed down.

"Your right Jazzy, pick up some food, then to Bella's house. " Wow, if Jasper could calm her down that easily, they were a match made in heaven! We all climbed into the Porsche.

--

I stumbled out of the car green faced, and sat on the lawn quickly trying to stop the world from spinning.

Alice came over and knelt down beside me. "Oh Bella my driving isn't that bad, don't over react."

I looked up at her through heavy eyes. "Not bad?!? Not bad Alice?! It's one thing to speed, I love the speed actually, but you zig zag in and out of traffic like a madman. Did I make that bad of a first impression you wanted to kill me!?"

Alice huffed. "My driving is just fine thank you"

"If agreeing makes the pixie demon happy..." I mumbled under my breath nodding my head hoping Alice wouldn't hear, but she did. And laugh she did.

"Bella I can tell were going to be the best of friends! Then I'll take you to meet Rose, well be a terrible trio!" Alice was literally

"Rose?" I questioned.

"Yeah my best friend, besides you of course. She's a super bitch, but when you're that gorgeous... it's okay to be. She's never met anyone hotter than her... wait till she meets you, she'll have a fit at first, but the she'll want to add you to our group because you're the bestest person ever!" I smiled; Alice's energy was just so infectious.

"I can't wait. But first things first. My house!" I squealed. When I decided to make the move, I also decided I was going to change to a house, a huge house at that, somewhere I could spend the rest of my life, hopefully have a husband move in with me and raise a couple kids.

Alice and I skipped into the house with linked arms. The outside of the house was beautiful. The exterior of the house is gray limestone and is three stories high. The mass of the building is characterized by alternating bands of rough and smooth finished stone, and is enlivened by porticos, piazzas and bay windows. It was simply gorgeous.

As I walked into the foyer, There was a humongous winding staircase that was white and a cherry oak. It curled from the basement all the way to the third floor. The walls were all painted a simple beige in colour. Perfect, I thought a blank canvas to characterize.

Alice came up behind me "Oh Bella! You're going to love this place its soo pretty. I helped Jazz pick it! There are 8 bedrooms each with their own bathroom! I know A little excessive but one day you can have a family in this house. It will be so wonderful! I can already see a colour scheme in each room... romantic red... harmonious yellow...adventurous orange..." I'm pretty sure she trailed on but I tuned her out and looked at Jazz.

"I don't know how you deal with that." I pointed to Alice. Jasper chuckled.

"Hey!" I heard Alice shout from beside me... seems she snapped out of her designer rampage.

"Sorry Alice, but all those design plans are giving me a headache. Don't worry though I can tell I'm already going to love that hyper personality of yours." I winked at her.

--

We were sitting crossed legged on what I was deeming my dining room enjoying some pizza.

"So tell me about what there is to do around here?" I questioned as I looked over to Alice and Jasper.

"Well, there's a lot. We can go shopping, I'm a designer so I get all the great deals. OH I AM SO GOING TO TAKE YOU TO MY BOUTIQUE! Oh and there's the night clubs were going to have so much fun at, we can go swimming, to the gym, dance classes, the list goes on and on Bella!" She was practically vibrating in her seat.

"Bella believe me you'll have lots of fun in Seattle, it may rain a lot, but it's just like every other city." Jazz smiled softly at me. A smile I returned.

"I know, I can't wait to get out and explore this town."

"Speaking of exploring, what are you doing for a job? I know you have lots of money in the bank, since you sold your company but are you still going to work?" Jasper questioned me.

"Yeah actually I'm planning on working. I really want to get into Law. I would love to be a lawyer. Editing was great and I loved it, still do, but I'm starting fresh so why not start fresh with my job to?" I shrugged.

"OH BELLA! I know exactly where you can get a job! My Brother and his best friend, also a good friend of mine, who's also with Rosalie, owns a law firm! I'm sure they would be honoured to have you and if they aren't ill whip them into shape. Oh Bella, please please please apply!?!? PLEASE!?" Then Alice pulled the most heartbreaking pout I have ever seen.

"Aw Alice when you make a face like that how could anyone resist?" I asked.

"YEAH! I just know you and my brother are meant for each other!" She squealed in excitement.

"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa Alice who said anything about me getting together with your brother?" I spluttered utterly confused.

"No one had to say anything silly, I just know." I gaped open mouthed.

Jasper just piped in "Never Bet against Alice"

I still looked sceptically at them.

"Well Bella Darling we must be off, But I'll pick you up tomorrow to take you to the firm. I'll even help you get ready!" She threw her arms around me and ran out the door, zooming into the Porsche while I giggled after her and shouted "SOUNDS GOOD".

Jazz quickly kissed my check and walked out after Alice, I waved as the Porsche zoomed down the street. I quickly closed the door and went to my suitcase to pull out my air mattress, since none of my furniture would be here until later this week.

I blew the mattress up quickly threw the one sheet I had on it, grabbed the pillow and blanket and made up a quick bed. I took my toiletry bag into the washroom and cleaned up for bed. Once I was ready and in a tank top and shorts I hopped onto the mattress and closed my eyes.

I was no doubt excited for tomorrow, applying for the law firm; it had always been a hidden dream of mine. I was actually incredibly terrified to meet Alice's brother, if he was anything like her I'd have to run far, far away from Seattle. Two Alice's would be enough to kill anybody.

Either way, tomorrow was going to be an interesting day, I just knew.
