Chapter Four-
It felt like I had waited for Sheryl to call me about the job forever! In all actuality it had only been about three weeks when she did get back to me. She told me I had been hired to work on the third floor which was the neurology floor. I would start out shadowing another nurse during my shift to get acquainted with the staff and hospital. After about a month and a half of that, I would be working on my own. I was so excited but also nervous. My first shift was in a week.
I called Alice immediately after I got off the phone with Sheryl.
"Hey Bells." She answered.
"I got it!" I said trying not to blow out her ear drum!
"Yay!" She replied with the same enthusiasm. "When do you start? Are you busy tonight? Let's go out for dinner and drinks."
"I start next week. I'm not busy tonight, when am I ever. And I would love to go out tonight." I said with a laugh. Since I applied at childrens all I had been doing was looking into schools and apply to other places in the area. I really wanted to move on with life and the sooner I became my own person, I could.
"Okay. Well look hot tonight. We'll be by to pick you up at 7!" Alice said as she hung up.
We? I thought to myself. Whatever. I needed to go get ready. It was already 5:30 and seeing as I hadn't left the house today, I also didn't shower. For some reason getting ready always seemed to take two hours because of my fucking hair
- - -WoS- - -
Alice was right one time, as per usual. You could always count on that which was great and shitty at the same time. I had yet to put my make up on. I guess the bonus to that was, although we were going to be later to where ever we were going, Alice could do an awesome smokey for me!
Alice walked in to my apartment with a gorgeous blonde woman. She looked to be our age and about 5'8. She reminded me of someone with a classic look. Alice of course, when not in scrubs, was in designer clothes. Jaspers job afforded her the luxury of her obsession. I was always surprised that she had gone into nursing instead of fashion but she just really loved kids I guess.
Since I was running late, Alice was a little pissy with her introductions.
"Bella, This is Rosalie, my wedding planner. I invited her to Uncle Julio's with us. After we eat we're going out to that new club called Twilight." She said with an attitude.
"Chill Allie. I'm almost ready. I just need help with my make-up. You caught me short notice." I said. A smile appeared on her face that rivaled the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland. I knew I was off the hook.
I turned to Rosalie to introduce myself.
"Hi. I'm Bella. I've heard so much about you from Alice. I'm glad you could come out with us tonight!" I said.
"Ditto Bella. I hope you don't mind but my husband, brother-in-law and a couple of their friends are going to be meeting us at the club." She replied with a smile.
"No I don't mind at all. Um…The kitchen is that way if you need anything, or you could join us. Alice is just gonna finish me up real quick and we can head out." With that Alice grabbed my hand and pulled me to the bathroom. Rosalie followed along.

Twenty minutes later we were on our way to the restaurant. Because it was a Friday night and dinner time, this place was busy as hell! I didn't know if we would be able to get in before I starved. I was so hungry so while we waited, we went to the bar and grabbed drinks. Since it was me we were celebrating I decided to buy the girls each a margarita. It was delicious and definitely helped with the wait.
While we stood there, Rosalie and I started to get to know each other. Well as much as we could with the insane amount of noise. I was happy when it didn't take more than 45 minutes to get a table. This place had the best fajitas around. Alice and I had come here for lunch the first week after I moved here and it was an instant favorite.
Dinner was delicious. Alice headed to the bathroom before the check came and gave Rosalie and me some time to chat!
"So Rosalie, How long have you been wedding planning?" I asked.
"About three years. I started after I planned my wedding." She said. "I've loved it ever since. We had a terrible planner named Lauren. She was atrocious. We fired her about two months before our wedding and I just took over. I strive to never me like her. It's great motivation!" She chuckled.
"I'm sorry you had to go through all that but I'm glad you got a career you love out of it." I said.
"Yeah and the Cullen's are so supportive. A lot of the nurses are engaged at the hospital. Esme is always giving my name out to them. It's nice. That's actually how Alice and I met each other." She replied.
"That's nice. So you and your husband have been married for three years then right? Sorry if I'm being nosy." I asked. Even though I felt weird asking so many questions, she waved her hand around signalling that it wasn't a big deal.
"Not at all. How will become friends if we don't get to know each other" She said grinning. "Yeah. Three years as of about three weeks ago. We went out together the first night and then Emmett's brother, Edward, took us to our favorite bar the next night. It was a fun little weekend."
"That does sound like fun." I replied. Just as we were finishing up talking, our check and Alice came.
"I've got this" I said.
"No you don't. I was taking you out bitch. Remember?" Alice answered and grabbed the check from my hands while giggling.
"Fine. I've got first round at the bar though, okay." I said as a statement more than a question.

I was glad that it only took us about ten minutes to get to the club. I was feeling a nice buzz and didn't want it to go away. I hadn't been to this place yet but Alice and Rose, as she told me to call her in the car, said it was the best place to be on a Friday night. As soon as we parked and got to the club I was curious as to how we were going to get in with such a long line.
"Oh don't worry about it." Alice said when I gave her a 'what the hell are we gonna do' look. "Jasper knows the owner. I guess they went to college together. We're on the list." She said smiling.
"Alice Brandon" Alice said to the bouncer. He let us in immediately. I gave Rose my credit card and told her what I wanted. She said she would go get the drinks. Alice and I went to try and find a table for all of us. Alice told me that she was going to call and see if Jasper was able to come out as soon as we found one.
Rose came back pretty fast. I was shocked she was able to get back so quickly.
"Oh. I've had to planned a couple of bachelor parties here for friends. I know all the bartenders." She said when I gave her a look of disbelief.
"Where did Alice go?" She asked.
"To call Jasper and see if he was going to be able to make it out tonight." I replied.
"Oh fun. Yeah, the guys should be here soon. I'm gonna go meet them at the bar as soon as they get here."
"Alright." I said with a smile.
Alice came back and we quickly needed a refill. I told the girls I had it and to just tell me when they wanted to drink. Rose wanted a cranberry and vodka while Alice wanted a margarita. No shocker there. Margaritas were always her choice of drink.
When I got to the bar I was able to place my order quick, which I was happy about. I noticed a group of guys and a chick standing together. One of them had this awesome sex hair that was a wonderful mix of reds and browns. I could have sworn I had seen it before but didn't know where, or maybe I was just being crazy. I also told myself that I didn't need another one nighter and no dating until I was officially working. This was just a celebration night.
I noticed Rose was on her way over. Alice must have been at the table to hold it. Rose walked up to the bigger guy in the group. He was about 6'4 and have this curly mess of dark brown hair. He greeted her with the biggest smile I had seen in a long time. When he did, he almost had a child-like look to him. Rose gave him a kiss and then turned to me.
"Bella. This is my husband Emmett, His brother Edward…." She kept on talking but I tuned her out because when she said Edwards name he turned around. I noticed his intense green eyes staring at me and could feel myself pale. I was so fucked!
AN: Sorry this one came out a little later. Real life beat the shit out of me today. I'm hoping to have an outtake and a regular chapter tomorrow but we'll see. Thanks for reading. I love your reviews!
