APOV

Dear Jazz

How is America doing? How are you? We haven't spoken in ages.

Alice.

I sighed. Mine and Jazz's emails to each other consist of small lines. According to Bella, things are the exact same between her and Edward. We knew we shouldn't hang on to our love for them, as long-distance relationships or friendships are less likely to survive. It has been almost half a year since we left Birmingham airport. It has been tough on us all. When we got home that day, Mum and Phil had already gotten home after their trip to the USA. They wouldn't stop talking about it, which helped drown out the pain of leaving our holiday memories. They are excited to take us to the USA soon.

I feel as if...Jazz was my other half, and we were forced to part, so I've lost a chunk of me. I miss him. SO much. Me and Bella are closer than ever because we are going through the same thing. Our friends at school don't understand as much, so I have made myself distant from them. Bella understands though. She knows the pain we've been through. I think of Turkey and Jazz every night I go to sleep.

The new year was coming, tonight, and all of the year were celebrating with a house party. I dragged Bella to go, for the best. I missed my old self, and I felt that it was starting to shine through again. I called Jess and Angela.

"Alice? Is that you?" Angela asked. I nodded.

"Yep, its me. Miss me?"

"I'm coming over with Jess. We need to talk big time." I cringed slightly. I knew they would have wanted answers. As me and Bella got less popular as we stuck together, Angela and Jess gained friends. At first, most of our year recognised us as the ones who knew Emmett Cullen. Bella had it worse, dating his younger brother. Bella didn't like all the attention, and for the first month had to hide like a celebrity from the paps. The Cullen's didn't know what they were doing when they got so close to us. It partially destroyed us for the first few months. We couldn't trust anyone, and I almost had a panic attack when I lost my phone, as it had their numbers on there. I was wondering whether it would have been better to just...rewind time. Have you ever lost someone you love? Lost someone you would die for? I know the feeling. The only frustrating point is that my lost one is alive, and only a plane away.

A few minutes later, I heard a knock at the door. I opened it, seeing Angela.

"Jess will be here in half an hour. She's gone to the supermarket to get some Cheerios. I rolled my eyes. Jess always had Cheerios on her now. It's her new 'craze'. I laughed lightly and walked to the sofa, I heard Angela shut the front door. I sat down and moved a bit so Angela could sit next to me.

"So...how have you been?" Angela asked.

I sighed. "I've been better." A silence crept up, I looked down and crossed my legs.

"I miss you."

"I miss you all. I've felt like shit ever since the holiday! I want to forget it ALL!" I slammed my hand on the arm of the sofa and Angela flinched, not used to me being angry.

"I wish...i wish that we all could have moved on like we should have done. Lets put this straight. You used to be so full of life! And Jazz has done something, and now... now you don't go out, you don't TALK to us, you stick with Bella, who is the exact same! You don't think I know how you feel? I FEEL the SAME. I was THERE. This is just...so annoying! I can't have a simple conversation with you without thinking back...mentioning the topic of Jazz, Edward, Emmett, Rose...holiday!" I couldn't take it. I choked on a sob and leaned forward to hug Angela. I never really had a proper good old cry with any of them besides Bella, and this felt good. I needed to let off some steam. I needed to let go. I heard another knock and I let Angela go, slowly trooping my way to the door, where Jess stood with a shopping bag, a huge box of cereal sticking out.

"Oh baby!" She saw my red eyes and jumped for a hug. I gulped back another sob and squeezed her. We sat back down, Jess on the armchair, and discussed what we had ignored before. Jess got out the Cheerios and we all passed it around, grabbing a handful of the O's and popped them in our mouths.

"Where's Bella?" I shrugged, looking down.

"I don't know. She sometimes just goes to the library or takes long walks." I took another handful of cereal, munching away. Jess was already on her phone, dialling her number from heart. I stopped her, just as a rattling came from the kitchen.

"Don't. Bella usually leaves her phone here, for reasons I don't know. Stop it before her phone vibrates off the counter again." Jess hung up, disappointed. I know she wanted a sort of 'reunion' with us four, and Bella was part of that. Luckily, I saw Bella in her jogging outfit, running up the front porch steps. The bell rang, and I ran forward to open the door for her.

"Thanks." she said loudly, with her music earphones in her ears, music pounding from the little speakers. I huffed and pulled each earphone out of her ears. She looked at me, shocked and then noticed Jess and Angela in the living room. She looked around, confused.

"W-w-what going on?" She stuttered, a little out of breath. I just sat her down and continued our conversation. By the end, we had all cried multiple times, but I think we were all ready to...move on with our lives. Jazz nor Edward nor Em or Rose could keep contact, so neither would we.

As we said goodbye to Angela and Jess, Jess said:

"So are you coming to the party?" I nodded, glancing at Bella, who had that old familiar face of regret, as she knew I would get her to wear a dress, and high heels. I grinned. Oh yes, dear sister. You are mine tonight!

"We all meet here at 5pm. I want to get you all dolled up and looking chic for tonight. Tonight is the beginning of a new chapter!" I beamed, and Angela laughed.

"That's the spirited Alice I know!" Angela said, hugging me and exiting the house. We waved them both off as they walked down the drive, turning right towards their own homes down the road. I shut the door behind me and grinned evilly at my twin. Bella stepped back, pretending to be scared.

"What are you going to do?" she asked, voice tinted with fake fear.

"Well, my lovely, we are going...shopping!" I cried, reopening the door and dragging Bella out.

"Wait, hey hey hey! I'm in my jogging kit!" I turned to look at her.

"Eurgh. You're right. You can't go out in that! I shut the door. I'll just find something here. I think there's a few outfits that would look good on you that you haven't worn before." I stopped myself." No. I can't let you wear something last season! God, what is wrong with me?" I sighed.

"You. Stay here." I told Bella. "Get a shower, put wax in your hair, face mask, and I will find something for you. You are size 8, correct?"

Bella nodded.

"When I get back with cute outfits for us, I will paint your nails and get myself ready. I'll be back in an hour maximum. I don't have much time."

I grabbed my purse and phone, ringing for a taxi. We both, aged 17, learnt how to drive, and pass. However we couldn't drive until our next birthday, as Phil was giving us a car each as presents. I had our birthday party planned already. It'll be here, on the night of our birthday, and there will be a lot of alcohol! It's in my mind already!

BPOV

I ran my fingers through my hair, washing off the shampoo ducts. Alice was due back anytime now, and I couldn't wait for this party, which is very odd of me. This party signified our return. The Swan return. It shall go down in history- the day we forgave and forgot. I heard a knock on the ensuite door, and Alice popped her head in.

"Bella. How far done are you?" As sisters, we were completely comfortable being naked together, which sounds gross, but think about it- we are twins, we share a room, and we have known each other our whole lives. We aren't squeamish with each other.

"I have found the perfect dress and heels for you! And myself, obviously." Alice commented, messing around in front of the mirror. I turned the shower off and got out, reaching for a towel and drying off. I wrapped the towel around myself and grabbed the tub of hair wax. Alice swapped places with me and got into the shower, turning on the shower radio in the process. B.O.B's 'I'll be in the sky' started playing and I danced a little as I applied the wax. The next song was Pink's new single, 'Perfect'. I hadn't heard it before, so stopped everything as I listened. The lyrics were really beautiful. I reminded me of someone prep talking me. I cut open a face mask and applied that also, as Alice finished her shower and did the same to me.

"I really fancy calling in the radio station, to request a song." I said. I really wanted to hear Jessie J's 'Who You Are' This song also gave me a tear in my eye. It was definitely a song I wanted to hear right now. I might get Alice's phone to call again, to request a song to get me in the partying mood. Black eyed Peas 'I Got A Feeling'? I'm not sure. To pass the time, I did request a song. And we both swayed as it played.

We then washed the face masks and hair masks off and blow dried our hair. We got ready as usual, and put our dresses on. Mine was a metallic blue, that went in at the waist and poofed slightly after. It had a sweetheart neckline and went to just above my knees. It looked perfect. Alice curled my hair and did my dramatic makeup. She then painted my nails a similar colour and then I did hers. Alice wore a white flowing dress that reached her knees, and had a lovely lace decoration on the side and bust. Her nails were painted black and she did dramatic eyes, with silver dust. When Angela and Jess arrived, they looked shocked to see us all made up.

"Word has gone around that you two are attending tonight. They will be surprised!" Jess complimented. Jess wore a light pink tight dress that showed off her curves excellently. At the hem of the dress, was a darker rim, making her legs look longer and slimmer. Angela wore a long blue maxi dress that showed off her slim figure, and her hair was done up, making her jawline look sharp. We all complimented each others outfits, then me and Alice put on our heels and grabbed our clutches, heading out in the taxi to the party, which was being held at Tyler Crowley's house. When we stepped out of the taxi, all eyes turned on us. I heard comments coming left right and centre.

"The rumours were right! They're here!"

"Look at their dresses!"

"Why are THEY here? Tyler! Get rid of them!" Lauren said. I gave her a dirty look as we headed for the host. Tyler made the extra effort in meeting us.

"Ladies? Back in the game are we? Welcome!" I smiled lightly. It felt good to be back and welcomed with open arms. Literally. I hugged Tyler back as he greeted the four of us. I nodded at Lauren, who nodded back. I didn't want to cause a fight.

"Lets get some drinks!"Alice said happily. As we entered the house, we saw the TV switched on to the New Years Countdown channel. The show wans't on just yet, as it was 3 more hours until the new year. We headed for the kitchen, ignoring the added comments, some louder than others. We saw Chelsea making more drinks. Chelsea is a nice girl. She came from Ireland and I loved her accent.

"Hey Chels. Whats on the menu?" I teased, leaning on the counter, then leaning back, as the surface was sticky with drinks. Eurgh.

Chelsea grinned "Hey! You're back! Good to be back?" I nodded, grinning. Chelsea had a way of making everyone happy, similar to Jazz. From what I've heard, Chelsea has set up many couples recently, I hope she doesn't turn her magic on me. I smiled to myself, imagining that.

"Good. Well, there is plain vodka or beer over there" She said, nudging her head in the one direction where red cups had been laid out, and was disappearing by the second. "Or...I can personally make you some nice cocktails?"

I nodded, asking for a surprise. Chelsea knew what I liked. After a minute, she handed us all red cups, with different colours. I took a sip. It tasted fruity, with less of the strong alcohol taste to it. Great! I thanked Chelsea and told her we'll see her later, and we all walked around the house, eying anyone who were giving us funny looks. The alcohol started to take affect, as I felt more relaxed and bubbly. We started to dance alongside some other college people, and I felt someone try dance behind me, grinding into me. I turned around. Eurgh! Benjamin Fire was behind me. He saw me, smirked, then his eyes went wide.

"Fuck! Bella? Is that you? I-" I cut him off.

"-What the hell? You are dating Tia!" Ben looked sheepish.

"Let me explain"

"You have one minute to explain before I tell Tia. Tia is a lovely girl and shouldn't be messed around with." I folded my arms and looked at him seriously, all traces of tipsiness gone. I'd need to get another drink.

"See... I thought you were Tia, as you're wearing similar outfits, and the hair was the only difference I could see. Plus...I'm quite drunk at the moment..." I shut my eyes, sighing. When I opened them, I saw Tia out of the corner of my eye. Her hair was a similar colour, I accepted, but was done a different style. I saw her dress and looked at Alice, annoyed. It was the SAME dress!

"I guess she has good taste?" Alice offered. I looked at Ben apologetically.

"It's okay, Ben. Go to Tia now, and NEVER speak of this ever!" I will not mention that Ben had a hard-on. Eurgh! I went to Chelsea again for another drink, and I could tell that this drink was stronger. A stronger taste. I walked back onto the dance floor, and an hour flew by quickly. Raoul, this guy who allot of girls fell for, caught my eye. He smirked at me, then got up from the couch where another girl was talking to him. He pulled the girl along by the hand and pulled her upstairs. Dick. I scoffed and turned back to dancing with Jess. She was also looking at him.

"Don't even bother trying. He isn't worth your time." Jess said, scoffing also.

"I wasn't going to try. He's such a prick. A man-whore." I rolled my eyes. I looked to find Alice, who was at the counter getting a refreshment. I headed towards her, but Angela blocked my way.

"Bella. Come." Angela pulled me upstairs and shoved me into the bathroom. What was going on? Angela shut the door behind her, and locked it. few minutes, the door was knocked on.

"Busy!" Angela shouted.

"It's Alice!" someone called. Angela unlocked the door and let Alice in. Alice kneel in front of me, as I was sitting on the toilet with the lid down.

"Bella. Someone wants you. Raoul wants you." I looked at Alice, confused. Angela nodded, agreeing.

"Ben was talking to him and he mentioned it. Ben told me." Angela spoke. "He said that...you 'looked hot tonight' and he is going to have you within the hour. You KNOW what Raoul is like. He will do anything to get his score. He will go to any lengths to catch his bait. He could DRUG you. He could RAPE you! You need to leave." I shook my head.

"I don't want...to leave. I'm having tons...of...fun." I said.

"She's drunk. She can't handle herself against Raoul." Alice whispered. I shook my head again. "Look! She's swaying as it is!"

"I'm not...drunk. You are."

"Bella. Listen to me." Alice shook me, causing me to side off the toilet. I laughed, giddy. I got distracted with the bathroom mat as she spoke to me.

"Watch her, Ang. Feel free to slap her or something if she tries to get out. Don't let anyone in or out. I'll fetch Jess or someone."

"Okay. Keep your phone on you." Alice nodded, and exited the room. Suddenly I heard a crash and the bathroom door flung backwards. I heard screams and shouts, but I drowned most of it out. I looked up to see Raoul bend down towards me, a glint in his eye.

"Hello, Bella. Want to have some fun?" He smirked as Alice kept screaming at him and Angela threw stuff at him. Jess arrived and tried to pull Raoul back. I nodded, oblivious to the danger. He held out a hand and pulled me up. I felt arms try to grab me, to pull me back, but none could hold onto me. Raoul pulled me into a bedroom and lock the door behind me. he picked me up and placed me onto the bed. I heard banging coming from outside, but ignored them once again as he leaned over me possessively and kissed me. My hands went into his hair, deepening the kiss. All of a sudden the lock on the door snapped and the door swung open. I saw some guys pull Raoul backwards, causing him to curse loudly, and someone picked me up, putting me over their shoulder.

"It's okay now, Bella. You're safe now." I nodded and drifted off to sleep.

Ahh Bella is always getting into some form of trouble! x)
