I woke up in my trailer with five guys staring down at me with frowns on their faces and their arms crossed. I jumped, and let out a small scream. Then I realized it's just my dad, Demetri, Felix, Alec, and Jacob. I put my hand on my heart.
"Sweet mother of all that is pure and holy in this god forsaken life! If you guys wake me up like that again then you're gonna have to find a new Little Green Monster for your show!" I exclaimed flopping back on my bed.
"Isabella Swan." my dad glared at me. "Who was that boy you were with last night?"
I let my jaw drop open. "Seriously? That's why you guys decided to give me a heart attack? Because you saw me with some guy?"
"Some guy?" Seth snorted from the corner of my trailer. "Are you kidding? That guy was smoking'." we all turned to stare at him and he looked up at us innocently.
"You know Seth, it's when you say stuff like that is when we are convinced that you are making a living on the outside of the closet." Jacob sighed.
Seth snorted. "Hey, I'm secure enough in my masculinity, that I can admit when a guy is good looking."
"Whatever." my dad scoffed. "Isabella Marie, I still want to know who this guy is."
"Dad, I am twenty-four years old!" I moaned. "You can not keep treating me as if I'm only fourteen!"
"Seriously Bella? Stop with the dramatics. We just want to know who this guy is." Demetri huffed.
Angela groaned from the other side of the room. Guess we woke her up.
"His name is Edward Cullen! His brother in law rammed him into Bella on accident and he stopped to help Bella up! So for the love of all that is holy in this sweet and beautiful world can you leave so some people can actually get some sleep!" she hissed. After one last huff, the five boys left leaving me, Seth, and Angela in the room together.
As soon as the door closed, Seth and Angela were sitting with me in my bed. I expected this, both being the youngest (Seth being only sixteen and Angela being eighteen) they were addicted to gossip.
"How did you know about Edward?" I asked Angela curiously.
She smiled. "You think you're the only one that likes to escape all the weirdness of Lee Tal's Mone Star. I was right behind you guys. And who know you were such a flirt." she laughed making me blush.
I sighed. "Yeah. You know Angela, I kinda like this guy." I smiled remembering how happy he made me feel in the short amount of time we spent together. "He makes me feel like I'm not just the green eyed woman."
Seth laughed. "Well then maybe he's the one or whatever shiz you believe in."
I shoved him playfully. "Don't make fun of me! Don't hate just because I get more action with guys than you do."
He slapped his hand over my mouth because right when I said that someone passed by my trailer.
He glared at me. "Jeez Bella, do you have to say that so loud? Soon enough the entire production will know."
Angela laughed. "Seth I think everyone knows that you are so far out of the closet that even the roar of Aslan from Narnia can't reach you."
We were silent for a second and we all laughed. But soon I was crying. My two favorite people stared at me looking perplexed at my random tears.
"I just don't want to do it anymore." I cried. "I've been doing the show since I was fifteen. I don't think I've slept more than four hours for the past nine years!" I was hysterical. I blame lack of sleep and pressure.

I woke up early-about eight o clock. I yanked on my jeans, a tank top, and a flannel over that.
"Edward?" Jasper asked rubbing his eyes. I grimaced as I noticed Alice was with him. Couldn't they just stay in their own rooms for at least one night?
"Edward where are you going?" Alice mumbled still half asleep.
"Go back to sleep Alice." I murmured. "I'm just gonna go walk around for a little bit."
"Oh, well I'll go with you." Jasper mumbled sleepily trying to get out of bed. I pushed him back into bed lightly. He went willingly, wrapping his arms around Alice.
"It's cool dude. I'll bring you back a muffin." I chuckled.
"Blueberry, please." he mumbled.
"Make it two." Alice sighed.
"One chocolate chip." Emmett yawned making me laugh lightly.
"Bring me a coffee!" Rose said from the other side of Emmett.
I took this all down in my head and made my way out of the hotel. I was walking around aimlessly until I realized that me and Bella hadn't set a place to meet up. So I just walked over to the theater's entrance and waited. I waited for about twenty minutes when I caught her walking by me. Coming out of the theater.
"Bella! Hey!" I caught her and she looked relieved to see me.
"Oh hey Edward!" she smiled. "How long have you been waiting?"
"Not long." I shrugged and looked down at my watch. "It hit about ten minutes half an hour ago." I shrugged walking with her.
She stared at me with wide eyes and I looked at her from the corner of my eye with a small smile.
She realized I was joking and gave me a playful shove. I looked her over and saw that she was wearing a black dress, a turquoise knit scarf, black tights, and black boots. She had the duffle bag with her again.
"See something you like?" she joked rolling her eyes. I grabbed her by the shoulders and pressed her against the wall, making her gasp.
"Oh definitely." I murmured my face inches from hers. I could've sworn she stopped breathing as was I at the feeling of being so close to her.
Then I smiled teasingly and backed away and continued walking as if nothing had happened. She caught up with me and glared at me.
"You are such a flirt." she growled at me making me laugh.
"Oh don't act like you didn't like it." I teased and she smirked.
"You're right." she nodded. "It was very hot. You're lucky I didn't jump you right there."
I stopped walking and I think breathing as she continued to walk. God, what was this girl turning me into?
We decided eventually to sit down at a table in a small muffin shop.
After picking up the two blueberry, and chocolate chip muffins I sat down across from Bella who appeared to be eating Nutter Butter bites that seemed to appear out of nowhere.
"Where'd you get those?" I asked pointing to the small jar. She smiled, happily swinging her legs like a little girl.
"I have tons of jars of food in my bag." she lifted up her duffle bag. "You want anything?"
"What do you got?" I asked. She smiled at me, and began to rummage through her bag. "Let's see. I have pickles, Doritos, Cheese Its, graham crackers, and spray cheese." she said putting each item on the table in front of us. I laughed and grabbed a cheese it.
"What's with that? The duffle bag, I mean." I asked her. Her eyes darkened as if I stepped into some forbidden territory. "You don't have to tell me-"
"No it's fine." she shrugged. "I'm a runaway. I ran away from Washington when I was eighteen and I've been living by myself since then."
"How do you get by?" I asked her. She smiled.
"Usually I stay in a certain place for awhile and get a small job." she smiled.
"What do you do here?" I asked fascinated.
She smiled blandly. "I'm a stripper."
I sucked a cheese it down my throat with out chewing and started coughing as it eased it's way down my throat slowly. "You're a what?" I coughed. She patted me on the back and laughed. "Relax, I'm messing with you. I sell stuff. Jewelry."
I nodded taking a couple gulps of the water I bought.
"Alright so you know some fun facts about me." she leaned back in her chair smiling at me. "What about you? Why are you in Las Vegas?"
I sighed. "My family decided to take me out to celebrate my new coming relationship status."
Her eyes widened and I couldn't help but see that she looked disappointed. Maybe it was just my imagination. "Oh. So, you're getting married?" I could tell that she was angry. Who wouldn't be, I've been flirting with her left and right.
I let out a bitter laugh. "Ha! I wish." then I preceded to tell her the story of how Tanya sent her bridesmaid to tell me that she had run off with her dad's best friend. During the wedding.
Bella's eyes were narrowed and her lips were pursed. When I finished she looked positively pissed off.
"What a bitch!" she seethed loudly causing several people to shoot us ugly looks, but I ignored them and nodded in agreement with her. "Seriously though, you deserve someone that will appreciate you. And she clearly was not it. Why'd you propose in the first place?"
I thought for a minute. "I don't know. I guess, I just figured that we had been dating for awhile that I might as well."
She scoffed. "Edward, marriage isn't about time length. It's about love." she took on a very passionate tone as she went on. "You propose when you decide that you can't be with out anyone but that one person. When you wake up next to that person, you never want to leave. You would do anything for them."
My eyes were wide by the end of her little speech. "How do you know? Have you ever been in love?"
Bella blushed and shook her head. "No. there was a close call once, but it didn't work out." for some reason I felt relieved. "I saw it between my mom and dad."
I was about to say something but I was interrupted.
"Eddie!"
"Oh no." I groaned but I was cut off by Emmett's air choking hug.
"Emmett, let him go." Rose sighed pulling up a chair next to me and slapping me across the head when he let go. "Idiot. When you didn't come back or call you scared the hell out of us."
I looked over at Bella to apologize for my family's behavior but she was watching us with a small smile.
"I thought you got mugged by a stripper." Emmett shrugged pulling up a chair next to Rose. Alice and Jasper howled with laughter as they shared one chair. Bella giggled. "But here you are, having breakfast with one."
Emmett laughed, Jasper snickered, and my sisters face palmed.
"Emmett, what the hell!" I exclaimed. I turned to apologize to Bella again but she was glaring at Emmett.
"I'm not a stripper jackass. Are you?" she asked still glaring at Emmett. Jasper and I almost fell out of our seats howling with laughter, Emmett looked like he was about to worship Bella, and Alice and Rose shared a smile.
Rose shook Bella's hand. "Hi, I'm Edward's sister, Rose. It's a pleasure."
Bella smiled. "Edward's told me about you. And you're Alice, right?" she asked pointing to Alice. "I'm Bella."
Alice gave Bella a hug. I could tell she was a little shocked but she hugged Alice back tentatively. "I like you Bella." she smiled keeping an arm slung around Bella's neck. "So are you doing my brother?"
I tossed my head back and groaned covering my face. Why does my family have to ruin everything?
But to my relief Bella just laughed. "Um, no. We're just friends."
Jasper slapped me on the back. "Ah, tough break man."
I rolled my eyes, and shot Bella a wink to which she stifled a giggle. Then she smirked at me and got a mischievous glint in her eye.
"So did you know guys that your brother, is the biggest flirt I know?" Bella asked and when everyone gave her an unbelieving look she went on. "It's true. Not even twenty minutes ago he had me pinned up against a wall outside telling me that I looked good."
My family stared at me in shock.
"Eddie my boy, there is a fine line between flirting and sexual harassment." Emmett said wrapping his arm around my shoulders. "And you are right on that line! I am so proud!"
I turned a little red as everyone laughed at my expense.
"I'm not the only flirt in this friendship! Bella had just told me that she was ready to jump me!" I defended throwing Bella under the bus.
Bella blushed as everyone turned to stare at her. We all began to laugh.
"Rosie, I'm sorry but if Edward doesn't scoop Bella up fast, I will." Emmett told his wife making us laugh again and causing Bella to go a deeper shade of red.
Rose shook her head. "Not before I do." we all laughed, and I shared a glance with Bella.
She seemed to like my family. And I am positive that they like her.
