My head isn't always the sanest place so I need someone to keep my writing in check. Also, I'm looking for people to read the first chapter of a story I'm thinking of posting. I want feed back on it. So PM me if you wanna see that. I love criticism cause it helps me improve so don't be nice!

BPOV:
My head hurt. ALOT! I awoke up to see a blinding light in my eyes. No, I wasn't dieing. It was the sun. Alice and Rosalie were sitting next to my bed. They both put their arms around me and started talking really fast when they saw I was awake. I just nodded. I was trying to remember yesterday. I couldn't... yet.
"What happened to me?" I demanded.
"Well, honey, you took a bit of a spill. Nothing major," Alice assured me. I didn't believe her.
"Give it to me straight you conniving Pixie," I seethed. She should know by now that I don't kid around when it comes to this sort of thing.
"Umm.. you have the bangs you always wanted," she said, unsure.
"Quit sugar coating things. They cut some hair to get to the wound, your face is swollen, blotchy and a wonderful variation of colours and your nose is three times bigger than always and you have a black eye courtesy of Alice. Other than that, your fine," Rose stated. I could always rely on her to say it how it was.
"What!? Hand me a mirror," I ordered.
"I'm not sure if that's such a good..." Alice tried.
"Now!" I interrupted.
Alice reluctantly handed me the mirror. I looked at my barely recognisable face and shuddered. It was exactly as Rose had described it. My hair was uneven and my face was swollen in a contorted way so I was barely recognisable. I hated it. How was I supposed to be on a TV show with hot guys looking like this. I'll have to wear a paper bag over my head. I'm not one for looking perfect, but I like to look respectable. And I can't look respectable with this face. I groaned.
"Bella, don't get all depressed. I'm already on damage control. We have a hair appointment booked in two hours time. Most of the bruises can be hidden with some make up and the right clothing, some of the worse ones will just have to be battle scars. We'll ice your nose like crazy and get the swelling down. The only impossible thing is your eye, but you can blame Alice for that. Plus they don't start shooting for the show for another week. This week is about getting all the kinked up girls out of the show," Rosalie assured me. She was good at keeping me calm.
"I'm really sorry about your eye Bella. I honestly didn't mean it," Alice apologised, sadly. I could tell she felt guilty.
"Of course I forgive you Tink. Like Rose said, most if it won't be noticeable. Now, can you tell me what happened? I remember Tanya tripping me, but after that I must have blanked," I stated. I stopped talking as a look of pure rage and fury came across my best friends features.
"She tripped you! That b****!" Rose continued cursing and Alice looked like she was about to kill.
"Yeah. I thought you knew. It's not always my fault you know," I pointed out.
"Most of the time it is Bella," Rose reminded me. I stuck my tongue out.
"Anyway, what happened while I was out of it?"
"The Cullen Boys happened. They came down cause they saw it happen. It was so romantic the way Edward cared for you. Even when Tanya basically threw herself at him, he kept looking after you. Not to mention the way he carried you back here. He was such a sweetie," Alice cooed.
"He saw me all bloody and ew? What a great first impression. Wait a minute, he carried me? I thought that was a dream. Crubbish!" I cursed. Alice and Rosalie laughed.
"Don't be embarrassed Bella. You should of seen the way he looked at you," Rose soothed. "Now, time to plan mission get back at The Plastics."
"Rose, no! It wouldn't do any good," I objected.
"Bella is right," Alice conceded.
"Damn straight I am! Wait, you agree with me?" I looked at Alice concerned. "Did you hit your head?" I checked.
"No, silly. I just have a better idea."
"What could be better than beating those plastics to a pulp?" Rose demanded.
"Think Rose, what is the one thing they want?" Alice hinted.
"Not to be beaten to a pulp?" Rose guessed.
"NO! They want the Cullen Boys. Beating them to a pulp won't be getting even, it'll just get a law suit. The one way we can get them back where they have no control, is to get the Cullen Boys ourself, or at least make sure they don't get them," Alice explained.
I had to admit, it wasn't too bad a plan. The Cullen Boys was the one thing those rich snobs couldn't get daddy to buy for them. I wouldn't be able to get a Cullen Boy so the next best thing would be to make sure they don't.
"Fine. I won't beat up those snobs. But if they hurt you again I am not going to be able to be held responsible for my actions," Rose informed us. "Now get up Bella. You have a hair appointment and we need to cover you up and then get back here in time for something to do with 'The One'."
"Okay, okay. I'm going to have a shower." I wrestled with my covers before staggering to the bathroom.
"Don't slip," Rosalie warned. I cursed her in my mind.
The shower was refreshing as I felt it relax my sore muscles. I sighed and stayed in there as long as I could. Soon Rose and Alice were banging on the bathroom door telling to get my butt out of the shower, so I reluctantly turned off my comforting warm water.
Once I was out Alice and Rose attacked my face with makeup, trying to undo the damage of yesterday. I looked in the mirror, once they dubbed me ready. My hair still looked lopsided and weird, but my face was a more natural colour and my nose swelling had gone down. I was so happy. Maybe now I could hold my head high when I was forced to face Edward again.
The hairdresser fixed my hair to make it look more natural again. I was glad she didn't make any drastic changes. I liked how I looked. Always have, and I don't want to change him.
Once my hair was fixed Rose and Alice ushered me back to the Cullen Mansion. There was a surprise for all contestants today. Alice and Rose were hyped but I couldn't seem to muster up the excitement.
When we were all ready Alice and Rose went to head out dressed like godesses. They were wearing matching mini dresses with matching legging and heels. Rose was in red and Alice was in yellow. I smiled at them. Then it struck me, what if Edward was down there? How could I face him after yesterday. My stomach started churning and doing back flips. I didn't feel so good anymore. I had to get out of this.
"Can I meet you down there in a little bit? I'm not feeling to well," I excused. Alice was concerned, while Rose told me to suck it up. I eventually convinced them to go ahead, under the guise that I would be down there soon.
After about half an hour I decided to buck up my courage and head down. I walked hesitantly down the stairs and slinked into the living room where the room was a-buzz with energy. I grabbed a drink from a table and had a sip. I saw Rosalie and Alice working the crowd. Jasper and Emmett were in the room and they were surrounded by adoring fans, including Tanya and Jessica. I couldn't find Lauren, or Edward. Maybe they were out somewhere together. Lauren is quite pretty, even if she is superficial.
I felt my eyes moisten and I had to get out of that room before I started imagining just what Lauren and Edward could be doing at this moment. I spun around and walked quickly, with my head down, towards the exit. I didn't notice someone was in front of me until I bumped into them, spilling the red punch all over their white shirt.
I felt my face redden and I hastened to wipe up the mess I had created.
"I am so sorry. I am such a klutz. I didn't mean to. Crubbish, I am such an idiot," I babbled. It was then I realised that the person I was wiping most definitely wasn't female. I looked up and saw those emerald eyes that had been haunting my dreams. I felt my face go about ten shades more red as I looked back at the floor.
"It's fine. Hows your head?" he asked, caringly.
"Perfect," I answered quickly.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I haven't formally introduced myself yet. I'm Edward Cullen," he smiled crookedly. I almost swooned.
"I know." I saw still speaking too fast.
He laughed and I practically felt myself melt into the floor. I couldn't believe how pathetic I was. Just then, he spotted something over my shoulder and his face was torn. I looked questioningly up at him, wanting to know what had made him look this heartbreakingly cute.
Then he grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the room. We weaved through the crowd until we outside, under the moonlight. I could feel a static in the air as Edward continued to walk beside me.
At that moment, I didn't care what had possesed this god to pull me out of that room. I was strolling under the moonlight with the hottest guy known to man or god. Could it be any more perfect? I don't think so.
AN: So what'd you think? Sorry it took a while. You know you love me :o

Lots of Love-
