Chapter 8-
Bella's point of view
I sat on my couch with my legs brought up resting on the coffee table. It was 7:00 A.M. but I was still dressed in my white and navy blue plaid pyjama pants and an white tank top.
I let out a sigh as I watched the morning news and took a sip of my coffee. I normally didn't watch the news, but recently I have just to have an excuse to not work on my book. I only had a couple of chapters to go before I was finished and only 2 weeks to do it.
I cursed internally at my procrastination and flipped the channel to 6, where they were doing a weather forecast.
It was supposed to be 80 degrees today with a slight chance of rain. I groaned. Even though it was just a slight chance of rain, it still had a chance. After the weather forecast, a V8 commercial came up.
I heard the doorbell ring and I quickly go up. I set my coffee on the coffee table and quickly ran my fingers through my tangled hair.
It's 7 A.M. Who the heck is visiting at such an hour? I whined to myself and walked towards the door but trips on the bottom of my pyjama pants and landed on my face.
I pushed myself up and rubbed my nose and forehead. I could've swore I felt a bump on my forehead.
I turned the doorknob and swung the door open.
"What do you want?" I asked before I got the chance to see who it was. I looked up and saw Edward Cullen in all his glory.
No, not glory, I corrected myself.
"Did I catch you at a bad time?" he teased, smiling his infamous smile that can make homosexual women straight and straight men homosexual.
"What do you want?" I repeated myself and his eyes twinkled with amusement.
"I said that I would show you the reason for my gratitude," he said, and I just stood there staring at him like he was crazy. Obviously I don't remember…
"Yesterday…" he reminded me. It took awhile before I could remember but when I did, I slapped my forehead with my palm.
Could've had a V8, I thought, thinking back on the commercial.
"Yeah, I remember," I said thoughtfully.
"So what do you want?" I repeated with an edge of annoyance. He dug into his pocket and took out an envelope. He handed it to me and smiled.
"I have a photo shoot to go to, so you can look in the envelope. I thought a thank you wouldn't be enough, so I added a little surprise," he said with a smile.
Ugh, I hate surprises, I thought but smiled and said "Of course."
He said goodbye and I closed the door. I turned and walked back to my couch, taking a seat. I opened the envelope and found three pieces of paper folded nicely.
The first one was folded like the others but it had traces of valley fold and mountain folds. I unfolded the paper and revealing two words written in a familiar writing.
Bella Swan

Edward's point of view
I parked my silver Volvo in the familiar parking lot and climbed out. It was 7 in the morning and there weren't many people outside so I didn't bother wearing my sunglasses and baseball cap.
I shut the door to my Volvo and walked into the building. I walked past the front desk and to the elevator.
Once I reached the floor of my destination, I exited the elevator and walked towards the door to the right.
I could hear the television from the inside and noticed that it was on the news station which was doing a weather forecast. It was to be 80 degrees and a slight chance of rain.
I rung the door bell and waited. I heard a soft 'bam' as something fell onto the floor. The doorknob turned and the door swung opened.
"What do you want?" Bella's sweet voice asked before she looked at me, then confusion filled her eyes.
You, my thoughts answered. And I internally cursed myself for thinking that way.
"Did I catch you at a bad time?" I said in what I hoped was a teasing voice and flashed her my infamous smile, but saw her grimace and I frowned internally.
"What do you want?" she asked, wrinkling her nose.
"I said that I would show you the reason for my gratitude," I reminded her but she stood there and stared at me as if I was speaking another language.
"Yesterday…" I trailed off and I saw her face lit up at realization but then fell unto a frown.
"So what do you want?" she repeated in a tone of annoyance.
"I have a photo shoot to go to, so you can look in the envelope. I thought a thank you wouldn't be enough, so I added a little surprise," I informed her and saw her grimace at the word 'surprise'.
I wonder why… I thought, but dismissed it and handed her the envelope. She took it and smiled a forced smile.
"Of course," she mumbled. I said my good bye and exited the building. I internally hoped that she liked the surprise…

"Eddie!!" Emmett's booming voice shrieked as he bounded towards me, well, more like skipped.
"What?" I asked in an annoyed tone. I was currently sitting at my piano, composing another piece of music. Jasper, Alice and Rosalie entered behind Emmett and made their way to me.
My siblings were all famous you see. Emmett as an all star football player, Rosalie as a model, Alice as a fashion designer, and Jasper as a movie director.
"About the Halloween party… we have nothing," Jasper sighed in defeat, which was unusual because he was the one that always have great ideas.
"What do you mean you have no idea?" I asked, cocking my eyebrow up, but Jasper just shrugged.
"What about Edna, Allen, Ross, Jaslene, and Emily?" Alice beamed and we all groaned.
"Come on! It's been so long!!" Alice begged and we all gave in.

Bella's point of view
I stared at the invitation that Edward had given me. It was the surprise that was in the envelope. An invitation to the Cullen's Halloween party.
"Do you have an idea?" I asked Jessica and she nodded.
"What?" I asked, eager to hear her answer.
"Isaac," she answered simply.
I hope you enjoy this chapter. It is long than the last. I'm sorry for leaving you confused and so but you will know who Isaac, Edna, Allen, Ross, Jaslene, and Emily are. Thank you for reading and good bye for now.
