This story is going to KILL ME! Yeah, she's with another guy in the beginning. I know, sad sad. Okay, this story is based off of two songs: I'm With you by Avril Lavigne and Love Story by Taylor Swift. Each chapter (or almost every chapter, hehe) will have a Sountrack (which song it is) and a quote (the line said chapter is based off of. E.g.:
Soundtrack: Love Story by Taylor Swift
Quote: We were both young when I first saw you
Which just happens to be the one for this chapter!
OK, QUICK NOTE: THIS STORY IS SUPPOSED TO TAKE PLACE IN… UH,… I GUESS YOU COULD SAY MIDEVIL TIMES, BUT IT WILL KIND OF BE LIKE ELLA ENCHANTED AT TIMES. YOU KNOW, HOW THEY HAVE ESCELATORS IN THEIR MALLS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. Lol ok on with the chapter:
- - - -
I was sitting in the front room, reading my favorite book, Wuthering Heights, when there was a knock at the front door. I looked up from my book just in time to see the maid open the door, revealing a short man with jet black hair, who asked if my father, Charlie Swan, was home at the time.
"Yes, as a matter of fact he is," the maid said, ushering him inside. "Just one moment." I lost interest then, not bothering to look up again when Charlie came down the staircase. I only caught bits and pieces of their conversation.
"The Cullens... Birthday party for.. You to be there..."
"I'd love... Day is it..."
"One week from today."
"Okay, I'll be there."
"Alright, Chief Swan. We will see you then." And, finally, the man left. Charlie came over to sit by me.
"What was that all about?" I asked, setting my book aside.
"Oh, it's nothing. The Cullens invited us to a party in one of their son's honor," he explained.
"A birthday party?" He nodded. "For which son?"
"Edward."
"Ah."
"Yep. So, are you going to go?"
I thought about that for a minute. "Sure," I answered, shrugging. "I mean there's nothing to do around here anyways."
--The night of the party--
The dance was coming up in an hour or so and Charlie had already left. Heidi, the maid had helped me get ready, and I had to admit that she did a good job. The dress she chose for me was white, and strapless.
It flared a bit at the waist and flowed down to my ankles. The shoes were a pair of strappy silver high heels, not too short but not high enough for my clumsiness to take over... hopefully.
She was rolling my hair up in a fancy, swirly bun that looked absolutely wonderful. She placed a small tiara-shaped clip on top of the bun.
"Oh, Bella! All eyes will most definitely be on you all night!" she gushed. I gave her a weak smile. [Imagine Taylor Swift's dress in the Love Story music video. Thats what I pictured.]
"Oh, I hope not," I answered with a grimace.
She gave me a warm smile. "Go have fun tonight. I have a good feeling about tonight." She helped me stand up, and I looked at my overall appearance with satisfaction. When I was done Heidi escorted me down the stairs and over to my best friend, Jacob's carriage.
"Hey Jake," I said when I got in the carriage.
"Hey," he answered, grinning at me.
"You look really pretty," he complimented me. He sounded sad. I blushed.
I smiled at him. We began talking about random things like the weather, and it didn't take too long to reach the Cullens' massive house.
I started at it for a long while. It was a beautiful white mansion. The architecture was amazing.
I couldn't stop staring. Jacob tapped me on the shoulder.
"Oh, yeah, right. The party." I gave him a hug, and gathered up my dress in one hand. I smiled at him, and opened the door.
I entered the house and was greeted at the door by my father. He took my arm and escorted me down the steps, and to where the party was. "You look wonderful," he complimented, and I blushed. "Did Heidi pick out the dress?" I nodded and looked down at my feet. He laughed at that.
We got to the bottom of the staircase, and he walked away, leaving me alone. Probably expecting me to 'socialize'. Ha! Not happening. Or, at least, I didn't think it would. I leaned against the table I was standing by, and tapped my fingers. I began to hum a little.
Someone tapped me on the shoulder and I spun around to find a pair of blue eyes looking at me. "Hi!" the pixie- like girl squeaked. "You must be Charlie Swan's daughter. Nice to meet you!" She stuck her hand out, probably indicating that I should shake it. Hesitantly, I placed my hand in hers and she began to shake it vigorously. "Oh my gaud, how silly am I?! My name is Alice Cullen, by the way."
"Hi, Alice," I greeted. She smiled. She was very pretty; she was very tiny, with jet-black hair that shot up in every direction, and she had the most amazing dress. It was blue, and strapless, but id didn't flare out like mine, and it reached the floor. All in all, I liked her's more than I liked mine. No offense to Heidi.
"Soo," she started, "Have you met my brother yet?"
"Uh, no, actually, I just got here." She nodded, meaning she got what I meant.
"Okayy… Well, maybe I should introduce you two!" I shook my head vigorously. She scoffed. "It's my job for tonight. I get to introduce people. Yay." The sarcasm in her voice was evident.
"Uh, no, I already met him," I lied. She cocked an eyebrow.
"Which one?"
Oh, yeah, huh? She had more than one brother. "Uhh… I think it was… Emmett, right?"
She laughed. "Yes, that's one of my brother's names, but not the one I want you to meet."
Dang it. Curse me and my inability to remember anything.
Alice began to blabber on about something when I saw the most beautiful pair of eyes I think I had ever seen in my lifetime.
