Hi, Next chapter soon.
Hope you are enjoying it so far, in this chapter I tried to show a different side to Bella, but I want you to know that the character in my head is still the character from the first few chapters, its just Alices influence! haha- Enjoy
Disclaimer: Twilight belongs to Stephenie Meye, who isnt't me, although I wish it was ;)
"Bella Swan, you have to be kidding me!" Alice jumped up from the sofa as I told her what had happened at the court, which I felt had just brought up new questions and had answered none that had been festering in my head since I had moved to Forks.
"I know, I feel even more confused" I flopped onto the seat next to her; she put her arm round my shoulder and squeezed it gently.
"I think he likes you Bells" she looked down into my eyes.
"Hmm, I think so to" I grudgingly admitted.
"Finally, she sees the light" we both sighed.
"Well, now the question is Bella, do you like him?" Alice chuckled as I shrugged.
"Sometimes" I sighed, for what felt like the millionth time since I had seen Edwards Volvo drive away.
"So, we need to get ready!" Alice chirped
"No, Alice, I thought you wanted to go out for a meal."
"You know me Bells, I prefer a party anyway, you've got to admit, and you haven't been out much recently having you?"
"Well, I've been concentrating on school" I admit, I hadn't been socialising with many people outside of school, apart from Edward of course.
"Look, it's your last night of freedom, Charlie gets home tomorrow, I have to get back to Phoenix tomorrow, a party is what we both need. " Damit why did she have to be right. All the time.
"Fine, Alice, we'll go" I admitted defeat as she squealed and pulled me towards my room.
Another hour later, we were standing back looking in the mirror.
Alice, in a huge attempt to make people forget of her now, yesterdays gothic look, was wearing a cream mini dress, with black thin patterns on, along with black Prada heels and her eyes highlighted perfectly with a smoky grey shadow. Whereas I had squeezed into black skinny jeans and had on a white lace v-neck vest top with a little grey jacket over the top, although Alice had insisted on me wearing some ridiculously black shiny high heels, which I struggled to ever stand straight in.
Before I knew it we were stood outside Emmet's house, his parents were away for the weekend and as per usual he had decided to have one of his overcrowded, drunken, house smashing parties. I'd only been living at Forks for a short while, but Ange had filled me in on this tradition he had, and although neither her or Mike had ever attended then knew all the gossip and information I had needed.
As we walked up the drive, I could hear the music blasting out of the large house, I could also hear the sounds of voices, some loud, some screams and as we opened the door, all that we had heard was times by ten. I could see various faces I recognised, but I knew who I was scanning the crowd in search for.
"Bella Lets go get a drink" Alice had to shout over the noise.
"Alice, no I don't drink."
"What do you mean? Course you do! Please just have one"
"Ok Alice" I agreed reluctantly.
As we made our way over to the drinks table, Jess ran over to us.
"Hey Bella, Alice, You both look great" she slurred whilst sipping at her drink. We grabbed a bottle of I don't know what and started to swig it down.
"Thanks Jess, I thought you didn't come to these things? Alice this is disgusting" I pointed at the bottle that I now saw was Jack Daniels.
"Bella, Just drink it" Alice moaned.
"This is meant to be done in shots Alice" I wasn't that naive.
"Here are the glasses" Jess passed them to me "And I don't usually come to these things but James asked me, oh that reminds me, I've got to speak to him, see you later" she giggled and ran off.
"Oh well this is great" I rolled my eyes at Alice, as we stood by the table and looked around.
"Shut it Bella, and wait for it to kick in" As I took another shot of the thick liquor, I could feel it burn as it ran down my throat and I winced. More than enough shots later"Come on Bells let's dance"
We made our way through the crowds and started to dance, badly and first but Alice was right it didn't take long for the alcohol to have its effect. Before I knew it we were both dancing with people I had never met before and I was enjoying the free feeling of confidence. The music changed and I felt a pair of hands grab my waist, too drunk to care I carried on dancing it, swaying my hips to what I thought was in time to the music; it wasn't until I felt the hands tighten in response to someone else that I turned around.
Edward was stood next to a boy who I had never noticed before, I felt the strangers hand tighten again as I listened.
"Hey! Edward... I've been looking all over for you...But then Alice gave me something, It tasted horrible Edward, but it made me feel all...funny" I slurred and then hit a fit of giggles.
"Bella? Do you know who this is?" he pointed to the boy who's hands were now grasping my waist, it was starting to hurt a little, actually.
"Erm, should I?" I sighed. "Could you please let go now, you're actually starting to hurt me"
His grip didn't loosen.
"I said..."
But I was cut off.
"She said let go" Edward said shortly.
Suddenly the hands were gone, I rubbed at where they had been, but Edward grabbed my hand and led me into another room. Unaware of whose room I was in I went and sat down on the bed, leaning backwards until my head hit the pillow.
"Edward, I do believe I am not drunk enough to sleep with you" I pointed at him. He remained in the doorway.
"Ha-ha, I can't believe little miss goody two shoes has been drinking"
"How do you know I have Cullen?" he winced as I used his last name.
"Just a guess, so why am I deserving Cullen right now?" he laughed.
"Not entirely sure!" I flung my hands up in the air, he came and sat down next to me and leaned back on his elbows.
"I can't believe you actually came to this stupid party Bella."
"There was actually a reason, can't remember right now, oh yes I can, something about what Tanya said..."
"Shit" he mumbled
"Well...."
"Well what?"
"Is it true, what you said to her is it true?"
Silence.
"Come on Edward Cullen, I'm too drunk to remember in the morning."
"How much have you had?"
"Stop trying to change the subject!" Ha-ha I caught him "And I don't know, you?"
"I haven't drunk anything"
"Oh good, you can drive me and Alice home!" I jokingly exclaimed. "Oh wait, answer the question!"
"Bella not now"
"You promised" I leaned in and with a new found confidence batted my eyelashes.
"That's not going to work Bella."
"What is then Edward?"
"Ha-ha, I dare you to kiss me." He joked. But for some reason my heart skipped a beat at the thought. His lips on mine, it would just feel right.
"Edward you not drunk and I'm not that drunk, I think" I was mixing up my words.
"Not so good with the words now are we"
"Edward tell me"
"Bella I think it's best if I drive you home now"
"Fine then" I sighed "Oh Alice"
"Who's Alice? Oh wait I remember"
EVOP
I could not believe it, I was sat on Emmet's bed with a drunken Bella none the less, it was ridiculous, Bella wasn't the type to get drunk, at least that's what I had thought, but here she was laid out of her face, probably for the first time as she kept mumbling it to herself under her breath.
Once I had dragged Bella around searching for Alice, we found her in the middle of a confrontation with none other than Tanya
"Oh and here's the happy couple" Tan sneered towards me, and Bella who had drunkenly climbed on my back to see if she could see Alice in the room, I heard Bella sigh and imagined her rolling her eyes.
"Alice we need to go, Edwards giving us a ride home" she slurred, again
"Ok Bells, one second"
"Wait, what do you think you are doing?" Tanya glared at me.
"Taking these two home, is that a problem?" I questioned
"Stay with me Edward, I miss you" she whined clearly also drunk
"I'm coming back, I'll talk to you then" I said and with Bella on my back turned and headed towards my car.
I let Bella fall to the ground landing on her bum, she stared up at me for a short second, and within that short second I knew that whatever was happening with me and Bella needed to be sorted out soon, she was so beautiful, her chocolate brown eyes were deep with hidden emotions. Soon she was laughing and brushing herself down, I held open the door as she climbed into the Volvo and Alice hopped in the back.
"So Bella, Edward where were you two?" Alice giggled.
"Only talking Alice, don't worry" I reassured her
"Don't be silly, Bella needs someone, to, well to take care of her for once."
"Shut up Alice" Bella groaned. "What were you saying to Tanya?"
Alice looked in the mirror and saw my intrigued gaze, "I'll tell you in the morning Bella"
"Ok? " Bella sighed and slumped further into her seat.
As I turned into her drive to park in my usual spot, I suddenly slammed down the brakes in suprise as I saw an unfamiliar car in the drive way.
"Edward what the hell" Then she looked up to see the car and understanding dawned across her face, then panic, confusion followed by fear.
"What time is it Edward?"
"Half two in the morning" she put her head in her hands "Bella what is it?"
"Alice act sober, my dad's come home a day early"
"Shit Bells, you're dad hates me"
I looked at Bella and given the situation she had snapped out of her drunken state very quickly. She stared into my eyes, before sighing a smile.
"Thanks Edward, I'll see you Monday, if I'm still alive" she leaned in and kissed me on the cheek leaving a warm spot where her lips had touched. Followed by a hiccup. She looked up and giggled. Ok maybe she was still drunk.
"What Tanya said was true" I blurted out, unable to control my moving lips.
"Isabella Swan! Get in here now!"
"Shit Edward, I've got to go"
And with that she turned and walked away, I watched Alice and her slump shamefully through the door under the glare from Bella's father.
I had to speak to Bella sooner rather than later. Driving back to Emmet's didn't take long and as soon as I had locked the car door.
"Ed, you came back for me, I told you"
"Not now Tanya, Emmet get her home she's out of it" I turned and stared at Em, who looked like he had consumed ten times Bella's amount
"Edward, Can't, Drunk" he stuttered
As I was already in a foul mood, I gave Tanya twenty dollars and called her and her friends a taxi
"So you'll take Swan and her pixie home, but not me and my friends." Tanya pouted.
"Just leave it Tan"
And I walked inside, away from her and everyone else.
