Thank you so much for all of your reviews, you are so awesome that you deserve the next chapter.
I hope you enjoy it.
"Hello Edward."- A soft childlike voice purred from behind me and I froze because the night had just became a nightmare.-"Did you miss me?Cause I really missed you."

"Wow, Alice, this dress just beautiful."- I said looking at the dress she and Rose had designed for me.
"We made it blue, because it's Edward's favorite color on you."- Rose said.
"Thanks. But I steel feel it is a bit too much."
"Shush."- Alice said.-"I've told you before, you are a part of AliRose, an important part, in fact if it wasn't for your idea tonight wouldn't be happening."- She said.
I got on my dress and looked in the mirror and almost couldn't recognize myself, I really looked beautiful, I looked hot.
"Edward's mouth is going to drop when he sees you."- Tanya said.
"You think so?"- I asked.
"Actually after I've seen the way he looks at you, he would love anything you would wear."- She said. I looked at her and smiled and realized all that insecurity she had brought had vanished completely, although it was still kind of weird knowing she had experience a part of Edward that I wasn't able to yet, but putting that aside, she was actually great to be around.
"Actually, I think he would like her better with nothing on."- Rose said and my face turned as red as a tomato. Fortunately time was going by really fast and now it was time for the exclusive interviews that Alice and Rose need to give.
First it was the TV stations, that the magazines, I was really embarrassed when they mentioned my name as instigator of the idea for the new line. They eve pulled me and Tanya to have our picture taken with them.
Soon it was time to go to the dressing rooms and check if everything was ready, when we got there, the place looked a little chaotic, but soon Alice and Rose started to order people around and everything turned into an organized chaos.
"Wow, Bella. You look even more beautiful now."- Jacob said coming to me and I could see the rest of the football players looking at me and whispering.-"They all started to ask if you had a boyfriend."- He pointed with his head to his friends.
"What did you say?"- I asked him.
"Well, I said that you were way too good for any of them and that they should stay away from you, or they would have to deal with me."
"Thanks my protective friend."- I saw him looking at that girl again.-"So have you asked her out?"
"Who?"
"Leah? The girl you've been looking at."- He blushed a little.
"I'm working on it."
I had been eager to see Edward but we had been just missing each other, I went outside and Jessica said I had just missed him and that he looked hot in his black dress suit.
"Hello Bella."- Esme says putting her arm around me.
"Oh, hi Esme."- And then I froze remembering Jessica is standing by my side.
"This is Jessica she goes to school with me."- I said hoping they would catch my meaning.-"These are Alice's parents."
"Nice to meet you, Jessica."- Esme said.
"Nice to meet you too."- Jessica said.-"Would you like me to show you to your designated seats?"
"Thank you dear, but we want to go give our daughter a hug."- Esme says.
"Well, in that case I really need to get back to work."- Jessica says.
"That was weird."- I said.-"Sorry but I kind of freaked out."
"It's quite understandable, if you hadn't said anything we would probably asked you about Edward. Have you seen him?"
"No, I think he went to the dressing rooms."
"Oh, in that case why don't we go there, I want to see Alice too."- Esme said.
"You go ahead; I'm going to get a drink first."- Carlisle said.
"Oh my God! Bella, you look so beautiful."- My mom said giving me a hug.
"Thanks mom. You look great too."
"Alice sent me the dress, isn't it beautiful? She said I was only allowed in here if I wore one of their designs."
"That's Alice."- Carlisle said smiling and he left to get his drink.
"We were just about to go say hi to them."- Esme said.-"Would you like to join us?"
"I would love too."
When I got to the dressing room with Esme and my mom, Edward had just left, and I started to get really annoyed.
"Oh, Bella you just miss Edward."- Rose said in a low tone, for no one else to hear.
"That's been happing all night. It's starting to get on my nerves."- I said though my teeth and she laughed.
We stayed for a little while and then it was time to escort my mom to her seat.
"He's by the reception."- Carlisle whispered when he walked by us and my eyes automatically search for him and the moment our eyes met everything else disappeared. The look on his face was priceless, when I got closer to him I turned to the side slightly so he could see the back of the dress and for a moment it seemed he stopped breathing. His eyes sparkled with desire and kept going up and down my body, he only snapped out of it when my mom cleared her throat right next to him. When we talked he couldn't even form a sentence which it was unlike him, and when we said goodbye it was filled with promises.
A few minutes later the show started with the DJ's voice welcoming everyone to the new world of AliRose. One by one the faces of the new line took the catwalk escorted by the football players whose suits had their team number in the back giving them an edgy look.
Angela was always in the spot light, and looking at my shy best friend owning that catwalk made feel like squealing. Talk about makeover…Ben was a proud boyfriend at the moment. The dressing rooms kept the organized chaos until the end, with the girls coming, changing and going with a speed I had never seen before.
The show was fantastic and it seemed like everyone loved it. After the last outfits were shown Alice and Rose went into the catwalk.
"We would like to thank all of you for being here tonight."- And the crowd cheered.
"We also would like to thank our family for their continuous support, we love you all."- Alice said.
"And now we would like to invite two amazing women to join us, one of them most of you already know and she is the brain behind AliRose, so please give a round of applause to Tanya Denali."- Rose said and they all cheered and I started to become nervous. Were they thinking of asking me to go out there? Were they insane? What, what if I tripped or something…
"The other is a new and recent addition to AliRose, and without her fresh inside, we would be here tonight, so please welcome Isabella Swan."- Alice said and I started to hyperventilate.
I took small steps looking at my feet to prevent from falling, I looked to where I knew Edward would be seated but his seat was empty. A few seats further my mom was taking pictures and by look of it was showing how proud of a mother she was.
I finally made it close to the others and they hugged me, then we posed for a few more pictures, and I did my best to smile, because the fact that Edward wasn't in his seat had me a little worried.
"Don't forget to place your orders!"- Alice said smiling.
Things were set for the representatives of the most various stores be able to order all the collection and have in their stores by Monday when it would start to become available to all customers.

The sound of her voice made my stomach revolve. What the hell was she doing here? Why hadn't Alice warned me?
"You're speechless, that's a good sign."- She said giggling.-"Did you like my surprise?"- She said putting her hands around me and my body immediately stiffened.
"Take your hands away from me!"- I said in a harsh voice.-"What the hell are you doing here?"- She laughed.
"Aren't you even going to look at me? Come on turn around."- She said seductively and I felt like vomiting. But I needed to face her, to know I was really cured, to know she no longer had power over me. There was a time in my life when just the sound of her voice made me react, when she would lead me to make things that…it was the darkest time of my life, and it took me awhile to become free, but the moment I was I've never looked back. We had seen each other a couple of times after that but she had never tried anything. And now I had Bella…and just the fact that Jane was here, it was going to upset her. If she had become so doubtful after meeting Tanya, I couldn't imagine what this could do to her. So I had to be strong. I turned around really slowly and there she was. Jane Volturi. What the hell was this? Edward Cullen's exes reunion? God must have a sick sense of humor.
She hadn't changed much, her hair was the same pale brown and it was trimmed semi short and her skin pale. She had the same angelical look that really hid the demon inside. I studied her face and to my relief I felt nothing, well actual I only felt disgust.
"I've missed you so much, Edward."- She said, taking her hand to caress my chin and moving it down my body.
"Get your hands off me, Jane!"- I spat grabbing her hand to stop her.
"Hum…I've always like it rough, and so did you…if I remember. Oh…and I have so many memories…do you remember that time in Amsterdam?"- She said leaning against me.
"I don't give a shit about what you like and what you remember. Leave me alone."
"Oh, I was just teasing you, Edward! Calm down. Just have a drink with me, just one."- I really wanted to get out of there but I thought that if I gave her what she wanted that then she would leave me alone.
"Fine."- She ordered another scotch for me and a dry martini for her; I closed my eyes for a moment and took a deep breath.
"Here she said giving me the glass."- I took it and gulp it down.
"Satisfied? Now I'm going to find my family."- I said leaving but not before I heard her.
"I'm hardly satisfied, but you could easily solve that for me…"- My body trembled with disgust and I quicken my step.
"Hey bro, where were you?"- Emmet asked when I took my seat next to him.-"Man, you look like you've seen a ghost. Are you ok?"
"Not really…I just saw Jane."
"No away. What is she doing here? Alice and Rose would have never invited her."
"Hi, honey."- My mom said taking her seat next to me.-"You don't look so good."
"He just saw Jane."
"Oh, no. Are you ok?"
"I'm fine…nothing happened…just don't leave me alone. I have a feeling she is up to something."
"Don't worry we have your back."- Emmet said and I felt a little better.
The music started and the light dimed, and a loud voice said:
"Welcome to the new world of AliRose."- With that the girls started to appear and go through the cat walk with the football players escorting them. From the look of things people were loving the new line.
About half way through I started to feel a little weird, my eyes could focus, I shook my head but everything just seem too foggy.
"I'm not feeling very well."- I said.
"Maybe you should go lay down for a little while, honey."- My mom said.
"Do you need me to take a look on you?"- My dad said.
"No, I think I'll just go upstairs and lay down, can you please tell Bella to meet me there."
"Sure."
"I'll walk you to the door."- Emmet said, and even though it was kind of weird I didn't mind it at all, because I felt like I was going to pass out at any minute.
BPOV
"Oh, honey you looked so beautiful up there."- My mom said.-"I can't believe how grown you are."- She continued with tears in her eyes.
"Thanks mom."
"Everything was amazing."- Esme said but I don't care about that anymore.
"Esme, do you know where Edward is?"
"Oh, he wasn't feeling well after seeing Jane, so he went upstairs to rest for awhile."
"He saw Jane? She is here?"- I say panicking remembering what Edward had told me about her and about their relationship. He had told me that Jane had some kind of mind control over him.-"Why is she here? She wasn't invited."
"Who wasn't invited?"-Alice asked joining us.
"Jane, she is here and Edward is not here."- I say.
"What do you mean he is not here?"- Alice asked.
"Well, he said he wasn't feeling too well so he went upstairs to rest for a while."- Esme said but then they exchange a look, like they were having a silent conversation.
"You don't think he…"- Esme says and Alice gets a worried look on her face.
"Think he what?"- I ask a little in despair.
"Oh, Bella. That girl is bad news, she twisted Edward's head a few years ago and made him do things…he even left us."- She said with her face torn with memories.
"Can someone tell me who Jane is?"- My mom asks.
"She's Edward's ex."- I say.
"She is a nightmare."- Alice says.-"How did she get in here, we didn't invite her?
"Who didn't we invite?"- Rose said joining us and I let out an annoyed sigh. So we explained everything to Rosalie and she said we should check with security to see how she had gotten in. Emmet took charge of things and went to check on that, a few minutes later he came back with a geek looking guy.
"She came as his plus one."- He said.
"I didn't do anything."- The geek said.-"Like I told Hulk here I just met that girl two days ago and she asked if I wanted company to this event, she is hot, so I said yes. I didn't crash this I represent a store in Canada."- He went on nervously.
"Thank you so much for coming."- Alice said and the geek was out of the picture.
"That bitch, I am going to kill her if she put her dirty hands on Edward."- Alice said and my head started to spin. Could she still have power over Edward? Could she make him leave? My brain could processed that because haven't he just showed me the plans for our future yesterday? Hadn't he told me he loved me, only me? Was his love for me strong enough?
"If she get her hands on Edward again, I'm the one who is going to kill her."- Esme said with an evil spark in her eyes, one that you would see on National Geographic when the mama animal needs to defend her baby animal. I made a note to never get on Esme bad side.
"This is all very confusing but why are we standing here talking, instead of going upstairs to check on Edward."- My mom said and we all look at her in surprise and she just gave us a Dah? look.
We look at each other and realized she was right.
"I don't think it is a good idea for you to come upstairs."- Alice said.
"The hell it is."- I snapped surprising even myself.
"You don't know what we are going to find."- She said.
"Whatever it is, don't you know I should be there to see it?"- I asked angrily.
"Fine."- She said defeated.
"The rest of you should try and find Jane around here."
Alice and I went upstairs and the others divided themselves and stayed downstairs to look for both Edward and Jane. The first one to spot any of them would text the others.
My heart was beating insanely in my chest, but it wasn't with fear. I discovered inside me a fierce determination to find Edward and protect our love. I would fight for him with my life, even if I had to go against that Jane. She wouldn't know what hit her, because he was mine.
EPOV
I went upstairs and lay down on one of the couches in Alice's office, the same one where I had kissed Bella for the first time. I smiled at the memory; the memories of my relationship with Jane were something to smile about. I felt myself drifting, my head felt light and I couldn't think straight, I couldn't open my eyes but I wasn't sleeping it was like I was in some kind of trance.
Suddenly I felt someone caressing my cheek.
"Bella, is that you?"- I asked.
"Hum…"- She answered.
"Sorry I didn't see the whole…"- Her hand was on my lips.
"Shh…"- She said and I felt something was off, but my brain just wouldn't work.
I felt her hands opening my shirt and I smiled.
"What are you doing? Someone might…"- Her lips were on mine and again but instead of the amazing feeling I usually had I felt disgust.
"Oh, my God Edward! What are you doing? NO! Bella don't go in there."- Alice screaming voice came from the door way.
"What? Bella is right here with me?"-I tried to get up but there was something weighting me down. I didn't remember when she had come on top of me. I opened my eyes slowly and saw Jane smiling in only her underwear straddling me. My heart begin to pound and I felt like vomiting. If Jane was the one here…that meant… I looked at door to see Bella looking at me with wide eyes, the shock was evident in her face and a tear came down her face.
No, no, no, no…this can't be happening. I got up and Jane fell to the ground with a loud thud.
"Bella, I thought it was you…please Bella…just let me…"- She looked me in the eyes and then without a word she left and that was the hardest thing I ever saw, and my knees just gave in and I fell on my knees.
You were right, it was Jane.
What do you think it will happen?
Let me know what you think, and don't forget to review.
I try to finish the next chapter quickly.
