A/N: sorry about the delay exams are over!!
Chapter 11: The job
BPOV
As soon as I walked into the building I wanted to leave. It was everything I didn't want, it was the part of the industry that I hated. I especially hated the fact that this was the only job I could get. I had wanted to start off simple but this was too simple, I had never wanted to work in the gossip business. But luckily I got to be the reviewer, a job I wanted but not in this area. I had wanted to review literary works rather then the latest teen flick.
I had been given an easy first assignment- Made of Honour. I laughed at the thought of it. I had heard about this film. The guy had 'relationship rules' but was never really in a relationship. It was a best friends make the best lovers type film. I wrote a fair review, but I had to admit I loved the film even though the ending was predictable. I loved the fact that you could go along living life and not know that you had a great thing in front of you all that time, only to realise it when it's too late. For some strange reason this film made me think of Edward.
From the last time I heard about Edward from Alice he had sounded like he led a similar life to the main character of the film. He lived a bachelor life, with a different girl for every night of the week. He had lost Alice because of this. I had wondered what happened to him. Did he follow the footsteps of his father and study medicine? I had missed his friendship over the years. I had been upset when we 'lost touch' during high school. It was a mistake I will always regret. I didn't even say goodbye to him when I left Forks all those years ago. When I left Forks, it felt like I left a piece of myself behind, like I was forgetting something. I knew he was close to Alice again, because they lived together but Alice, true to her word, never mentioned him.

The teen flick that I was the male lead in was to start shooting in a few months so I had time to myself before my life was scheduled away. My thoughts drifted to Bella. I wondered what she was doing now and whether she looked the same. I thought of her as my missed opportunity, my mistake. I had discovered that I was in love with her too late and she moved across the country. Alice didn't speak of her and I didn't want to bring her up, but I was always thinking about her. I knew she had spent a lot of time with Alice and had introduced Alice to Jasper. She had also been involved in the introduction of Rosalie to Emmett. It seemed that even from across the country, I would be reminded of her.
I had decided to fill my free time with my music. I wasn't playing as much as I would have liked due to my acting career. I decided to bring out a piece I had been working on but never really finished. It was a puzzle piece for me, I didn't know how it would end, I only knew how it began.

The next day I was summoned into my boss' office. She didn't seem angry when I knocked on her door. She waved me in and told me to take a seat.
"So, Bella, we have found that your reviews have been getting a lot of good responses." I was shocked to hear that I was actually doing well at a job I hated.
Then she continued with a strange look in her eye. "So we decided to give you a special assignment. However if you stuff this one up you wont have a job here anymore." I was dumbfounded, first she told me my work was good but now she was testing my abilities?
She continued, "Have you heard about that new blockbuster chick flick about a vampire romance?" she asked.
"Yes, it hasn't even come out yet and already everyone is talking about it." I responded.
"Well, the male lead in the film is intriguing but no one knows anything about him. Your job will be to get an interview and find out what makes him tick. But if you make him uncomfortable or you don't get the interview… don't even think about coming back here!"
I was shocked, I had to interview the 'it' actor at the moment and my job depended on how and if it went. She then waved me out of her office and sent me to my doom, there was no way I could get an interview with him. No one knew who he was! I decided that the least I could do was try, I, Bella Swan am not a quitter.

My agent called and told me about the junket, I had one condition on going that only one reporter could interview me. I hated reporters; they always made everything worse. There was no going back after this, my face would be pasted all around the country and I wouldn't be able to walk down the street without being recognised. I dreaded every moment of it, but there was a part of me that knew that something good would come out of this. I knew that by getting myself out there I would have more job opportunities but I had a feeling that it was more than that. I just wasn't sure what it was and until I found out I would go to this junket and get my name out there.
A/N: Please let me know what you think. The more reviews the quicker the updates
