"Alice, this is absurd!" I complained. It was 1:00 am and we were at the club. Sneaking out of the house hadn't been so hard. My parents were deep sleepers and they would never suspect me to do anything like this. Alice had met me outside of my house after sneaking out and Jasper had picked us up. The drive wasn't long so the silence in the car wasn't so awkward. Alice was wearing a short tight red dress that flattered her petite figure while I was wearing a pair of black leggings and a wide light purple top with a black thick belt.

When I got out of the car, the first thing I saw was the outside of the club. It seemed a bit extreme for a teen lounge, no wonder because once I stepped it I realized it was not a teen lounge. In the place was crowded filled with many people who looked much older then me. The waitresses wore matching deep purple dresses that came quite a bit above the knees and they were serving what were probably alcoholic beverages. This was not a place my parents would be happy to find me.

"Alice, this is absurd!" I repeated again as she hadn't seemed to hear me the first time.

"What, Bella? Did you expect to be going to a middle school club where they serve fake drinks and you dance to fake music and sit down on fake leather sofas? You didn't really think we'd go to one of those clubs did you?"

"No! It's just that you know this place is just a little more extreme than I had expected." I yelled over the loud music being played at the bag of the room.

"Come on Bella! Let me introduce you to some of Jasper's friends." Alice hugged Jasper's arm and Jasper took her in her arms kissing her gently.

After they had finished Alice turned around and dragged me to the dance floor. The music got louder and louder as we approached and then finally we stopped in front of a group of high school boys and a few that could have passed as even older.

"Bella this is Emmett and Emmett this is..." I couldn't stand being announced like that in front of so many guys. They all seemed to be eyeing me suspiciously.

I spotted something out of the corner of my eye and turned around to see a man leaning against the counter. He was gorgeous and at the first moment I saw him I couldn't take my eyes off of him. He had short, cropped brown hair that seemed to glisten in the lights. His hair was neatly combed and parted to one side. He was leaning against the bar with a bedazzled look on his face.

I longed to be beside him, wrapped up in his arms, snuggled into his long red polo top, his soft skin rubbing against my face.

"Bella, Bella! Earth to Bella!" called Alice "Balla, let's not get distracted. This is Carlisle and Carlisle this is Bella." I turned quickly just to get one last glance of him and I he looked back staring at me with his gorgeous light blue eyes. I wasn't sure why he was looking at me but before I could ask any more questions I was dragged off by Alice to another part of the dance floor.

I wasn't feeling very good, maybe it was the overwhelming noise and the crowd or maybe it was the man leaning against the counter but bile was beginning to build up in my throat.

"I have to go to the washroom. " I spoke quickly trying not to open my mouth too wide. I ran over toward the bathroom and quickly opened the stall door locking the door behind me. I started to throw up. All the dinner from the night was now sitting their in the toilet.

I quickly flushed the toilet and took a piece of toilet paper to wipe off my face. I rushed out of the washroom trying not to catch a scent of the acidic barf.

Outside of the washroom, it seemed even louder then before. I was scared! What if my parents found out where I was; that I had left the home? When they found out, I wouldn't be surprised if I was grounded for the rest of my life. What if...

Someone tapped my back, I turned to see who it was and when I looked back I saw him. He looked even more gorgeous close up.

"Sorry to startle you" he soft velvety voice made him seem even more beautiful "I just was wondering if maybe I could get you a drink."

Before I could even think about what to say, I answered "Sure, thanks!" I couldn't believe what had just happened. Did he like me or was he just being friendly? I couldn't get my head around it. And then I remembered what he was getting me. When he said he was getting me a drink he meant... oh no! I couldn't get myself into this. It was too risky!

I didn't want him to buy me a drink and then not even take a sip of it. I needed to tell him. I ran towards him, dodging through the crowds of people. Until I saw him by the bar talking to the bar tender.

"Wait!" I yelled from across the room

He looked up saw me and then slowly walked over to me.

"What is it?" He asked

"Well, it's just that I don't actually really want a drink. So thanks, but I think I'll pass on this one."

"Okay" he replied in a calm voice.

"Sorry about that"

"No it's okay! Can I get you anything else?" He was so sweet

"No thanks. I'm good for now."

"Well, then maybe would you like to come dance with me."

Wow, that one caught me by surprise.
