Arriving

Bella POV

Seattle, Washington
May 2009

After leaving the business office, we did not even have time to check out the city before jumping on our flight home.

The two months after our weekend trip, I busied myself with work and frivolous projects. I needed to keep my mind occupied so I wouldn't have another mental breakdown like the one back in LA. I managed quite well, actually. That is until Peter had called and told me he found two more men for the show. His exact words being, "They are perfect for you!" As in, they were perfect for the show's ratings. Great. Please, God, don't make me have to deal with the next William Hung.

The day to leave for LA again had arrived faster than expected. Alice, Rose and I were packing in our apartment while listening to 80's and 90's one-hit-wonders; who doesn't love a little Air Supply and Matchbox Twenty? Well actually, Rose and Alice don't. It was just my turn to pick the music.

"What else should I bring, you guys," I yelled through the apartment, knowing that through the thin walls they would hear me, even with the music going. "I think I got everything I need," I stated mostly to myself. I started to lift the suitcase off my bed with little trouble… until it landed on my toe with a loud thunk.

"Crap crap crap!" I let go of the suitcase and grabbed my toe, trying to get the stinging pain to go away. "Ouch! Damn it!" I was bouncing around the room on my good foot with one hand holding my bad toe—the lead weight feeling in my toe making my eyes water.

"That big beast you call a suitcase fall on your foot?" I turned around to see a curious but laughing Rose standing in my doorway. She was biting the side of her lip; not in worry but as if she was holding in laughter. Yes, very funny. Usually, you could say that would have pissed me off, but that was just Rose. She knew I would have been angry if she took any sort of pity on me and whipped out her doctoring expertise (as if she actually had any: "Do you need something like ice or… whatever?"), so instead she opts to just sit back and laugh it out. At my expense. Ha-Ha.

"Thanks for asking, I don't need help or anything." Sarcasm dripping in my voice. I simply just don't ask for help often, but that does not denote my desire to be the strike of her jokes.

"Sorry! I couldn't help it," she stated half-heartedly with a sheepish smile. "Anyways, Alice sent me in here with orders to make sure you're fully packed…which you're not because there is no way you have everything you need in that one bag."

I sighed and sat down on my bed. My toe already feeling slightly better. "Alice! Get in here," I yelled loud enough for her to hear.

"Bella, you still have half a closet full of clothing in there and-" Rose started in a pleading tone but was cut off by Alice skipping through the doorway.

"—and I bet you didn't even pack the clothes I picked out…did you?" Her voice accusatory as she smirked at me with one eye raised and her arms folded across her chest. She knew me all too well.

"Well, I just want to be comfortable, but if you really think it's that big of a deal…I'll relent." I got up from the bed, walked over to the closet, and sorted through some of the clothes Alice had picked out for the trip. This included fancy bikinis, shoes, and a lot of tops and skirts.

I usually didn't mind Alice helping me pick out my clothing, I just prefer to A: not know how much it cost, B: not have to go along to buy it, and C. have it be comfortable. The rest I could care less about because even though I hated to admit it, Alice did have an eye for what looked good.

While grabbing the bathing suits, most comfortable looking tops, bottoms, and flats, I heard Alice speaking behind me.

"W-o-w…" She pronounced each syllable very slowly. Turning around to see her face I noticed she was staring at me a little wide eyed, however, I could see a smile tugged at the edge of her lips. "That was way too easy, Bella, what gives?"

"I really am too tired to fight with you about it because I know it won't do a thing, and plus, I know the producers get a final say in what I wear on the show, so whatever. Pack away!" I waved my hands gesturing her to do what she does best.

"Yay!" She ran over to me and gave me a tight hug, considering her tiny size, she is awfully strong. "Thanks babe!"

Alice went to her room to grab two extra suitcases while Rose threw all the clothes they wanted me to bring on the bed. Certain items they chose that I drastically did not approve of, I vetoed; such as 6" heals and mini skirts too short for my liking.

While packing, I kept thinking about how surreal this all was. I was actually going to be on a TV show. Moreover, not just any TV show, but the one and only Bachelorette. Rose, Alice, and I have been watching this show for quite a while; we loved trying to make bets at the beginning to see which guy the girl ended up picking… and now that girl would be me.

I would be lying if I said I was only thrilled because I was also extremely terrified, shocked, curious, bewildered, and most certainly nervous.

~*~

We arrived in LA in record time, only to have to search for two and a half hours to find my luggage. Supposedly, someone had claimed one of my bags as theirs, but didn't have the decency to return it to the baggage claim when they probably realized it actually was not theirs. After the airport mess, we walked out to the pickup area and we saw a shiny black limo. There was a man probably in his mid-thirties standing outside of the door holding a sign that said "Swan". That. Is. Awesome.

After greeting…Garrett, as he introduced himself, we drove off to our hotel. The ride was spontaneous and loud to say the least; we were on such a high we decided to let off some steam. It was rapidly turning into twilight and the LA light shone all around the city. The city was actually beautiful at night. You could see millions of lights sparkling and giving it a glow and energy. Yes, Seattle also has lights at night, but not like this.

Maybe it was the fact that I was going to be living there for the next few months, who knows. Either way, my usual nervous jitter turned into excitement so I turned on the radio to find a decent station to enjoy during the ride. Alice and Rose were poking their heads through the sunroof and admiring the city as well.

We arrived at the hotel a several minutes later. Garrett brought our bags around from the trunk while we gawked at the 5-start quality of the hotel. Huge palm trees lined the cobblestone drive. Lights shone from below the ground, casting an unusual glow down the sidewalk and the entrance to the lobby.

We thanked Garrett before gathering our bags to put on a cart. We needed three of them to fit our entire set of luggage accommodatingly.

Inside the reception area, the low light and ocean colors set a cool tone to the open space. There was an open restaurant and bar to the right and a seating area with a flat screen television to the left.

"This place is amazing. I wish we could stay here the whole time," Alice stated in awe, her face most likely matching my astounded look.

"Alice…," Rose started with a mock stern glare, "Are you suggesting you would rather stay in this hotel than our own condo by the ocean…" Rose questioned her with a looked that yelled 'Seriously?' Before Alice could respond, she finished her sentence. "…with hot half-naked men trampling around on the beach?"

"Okay, you're totally right…but that doesn't mean we aren't going to fully enjoy this hotel and its accommodations this week."

"Alice…," I warned quietly. I didn't want her going overboard, especially since we were not paying for the rooms; the show was.

She looked up at me with fake innocence. "Yes, Bella?" she asked, blinking with her gaze directed at me through her lashes.

Damn, Tinkerbelle. She could give that pixie a run for her money.

"Don't even let those thought's creep any further into your pretty little head, pixie. We are only using the rooms, nothing more. Since we're not paying for them, I don't want to have to deal with the producers coming to me angry about their decision to let you both come along…okay?"

"But, Bella…there is an S…P…A, spa. How can you say no? We can get manicures, pedicures, and massages and…everything! That way you will look and feel perfect when the show starts. It's highly doubtful they would say no on you looking your best, don't you agree Rosalie?" Alice asked after her cluster mess of a rambling she tended to do when she was arguing her point.

"Perfectly," Rose chimed in with a devious smirk.

Well, great. Thanks for being on my side on this one, Rose.

"Let's just go get settled and we can talk about this tomorrow. I'm exhausted,"

After checking in with the front desk and getting out keys to our adjoining rooms, we took a quick tour of the hotel. There was, in fact, a spa. It looked relaxing and comfortable…and really expensive.

They also had a full gym, pool, hot tub, sauna, and two restaurants. One on the first floor near the lobby, that we had seen earlier, and one on the top floor of the hotel.

After our tour, we made our way up to our separate suites. Alice and Rose were sharing a room right next to my individual one. I tried to protest, saying we could just get a room with separate beds, but Peter wasn't having any of that.

"Oh my gosh," I heard Alice scream through the adjoining door to our rooms right after we had entered.

I hate to admit it, but I almost squealed like a little girl the moment I walked in the room. The rooms were amazingly huge with a separate kitchenette, bathroom, sitting area, and bedroom. The room had the light ocean colors and setting we had seen in lobby.

"Wow…Alice, breathe," Rose insisted as I walked into their room. Alice took a few calming breaths before looking settling herself on the huge couch in front of their flat screen TV with a huge grin and look of awe written across her face as she took all of her surroundings in.

"If the condo we are staying in is half as nice as this, we can die and go to heaven willingly," Rose commented walking over to me.

"Is she okay? I mean, she hasn't said much, that's very unlike Alice…" I whispered in mock horror. I knew she was fine, just shocked. It wasn't very surprising; the rooms were beyond words. I hated to think how much they cost.

"Guys this must have cost—"

Rose must have seen the look on my face because she shook me by the shoulders, interrupting my sentence. "Bella." I looked at her sheepishly, knowing she was going to scold me for my almost-comment.

"Yeah, yeah. I know. I won't even bother finishing that sentence, Mom." They had both given me a stern lecture on the first class plane ride over here. It boiled down to: I couldn't complain, comment, or question the money or costs while we were on this trip.

"The network has more money than God, Bella. This is all really nothing to them. They going to be making a lot of profit from the show, so technically, you are doing them a huge favor by being here," Alice had told me. Sadly, she was right; I held my tongue.

"Good," Rose replied, bringing me back to the present. She wore a proud smile and walked into my room, most likely to see if we shared the same amenities.

"I have to admit, this place is phenomenal," I walked over to stare out the window overlooking the long stretch of beach and water.

We settled into the suites quickly after ogling the littler things such as walk in shower with double shower heads, a walk out deck with a perfect view of the beach, and Egyptian cotton sheets to name a few. I would have never known the difference but supposedly Egyptian cotton is all around better than normal cotton; Alice was beyond excited.

I showered and changed into my pajamas while Rose and Alice did the same. We left the door to join our rooms open, having no need to keep it closed.

We said our goodnights, too tired to do anything else from our long day of traveling.

The next morning, I woke up to a bright sunlight shining in my eyes. I sat up quickly; surprised it was a sunny day in Washington. I looked around the room, taking in my surroundings and then I quickly remembered the day before and where I was.

After brushing my teeth and getting dressed, I went to talk with Rose and Alice for the plans for today. We didn't need to meet Peter until later that night; he wanted to talk about a few things that we needed to prepare during the week we are at the hotel.

"Morning," I yawned and stretched across their couch while watching them get ready. I was actually surprised to find that Alice didn't attempt to play Bella Barbie.

"Don't lie down! We have to get you ready," Alice whined me while dragging me towards the bathroom of their suite.

I thought too soon.

"Alice, I am ready," I responded, annoyance laced in my tone.

She looked at me with her arms crossed and one eyebrow cocked, daring me to argue. I didn't feel like getting into an argument with her so early in the day so I complied.

I was surprised to find that she handed me a bathing suit and towel instead of a fancy outfit and makeup. I looked up at her dubiously, silently asking what she had planned.

"We're going to the pool, silly. We have the whole day ahead of us before you have to meet Peter so Rose and I thought we might as well enjoy it and relax," She stated with a smirk, proud of her planning.

I laughed and gave her a smile, showing my approval. "Okay, let me get changed."

Arguing was not an option because, well, I didn't want to. Going to the pool and lounging around actually sounded very relaxing at this point. I was sure it would help to take away all of the pent up energy I had been building since we had arrived.

After getting ready and eating a quick breakfast at the restaurant on the first floor, we made our way to the pool.

It was encompassed by a large green house-like room. Opaque walls and ceilings replaced glass windows, leaving the feel of outside, inside.

We walked over to where they had tables and chairs on one end of the pool. The only people there this morning were two kids playing Marco-Polo in the deep end.

After arranging our things on the lounge chairs and stripping away our cover-ups, we wandered over to the steps in the entrance of the pool, to dip our feet.

"What do you guys want to do after this," I asked them while sitting on the edge of the pool, my feet in the water. Rose was on my right with Alice on my left both in the same position.

Rose hummed, contemplating before answering. "Well, there is that spa…or maybe we could go out and explore the city?"

I groaned, not very ecstatic about the idea of leaving the hotel. "I am way too emotionally and physically exhausted to be walking around the city."

"Stop being so melodramatic, Bella." Alice rolled her eyes and looked at Rose with a huge grin on her face. "Come on! I bet they have amazing shopping, Rose."

"No…please," I cut in before Rose could even answer. "Let's just relax today…you guys can do all of that stuff on your own."

"Fine, but this conversation is not over," Alice said pointing a finger at me, but I knew she was just teasing because a smile tugged at her lips and she giggled.

I laughed at her determination while closing my eyes, soaking up the last bit of calm before the storm.

I could hear that a few more people had entered the pool room during our conversation. They were being quite loud, which frustrated me tremendously. I just wanted to relax and enjoy my time before everything in my life blew up into chaos.

The voices of the people, most likely men by the sounds of their deep voices, were getting louder. I was trying my best to block them out and just relax when a huge splash of water hit me. My eyes flew open at the contact to see two very guilty looking guys, probably around our age.

The bulkier one had short brown curly hair and brown eyes. He looked like he stood tall, but I couldn't be certain because he was standing in the deeper end of the pool.

The second guy was more lean than the first but he was still toned. He had blonde shaggy hair and bright blue eyes. He was staring at Alice with a slight smirk on his face and once eye brow raised. I looked at her to see she was also staring at him but with a huge smile.

Only Alice would find it in her to flirt with a guy in a situation like this.

"What the hell?" Rose screamed. I looked over to see Rose was fuming angry and completely soaked head to toe in water.

I was about to say something to them, but Rose cut me off before I had a chance to deviate the situation from the path it seemed like it may have been going.

"Don't you have any common sense, you idiot? This is a public pool. Not some place you can just romp around splashing people!"

"We're really sorry, miss," the blonde one apologized with an apologetic smile and southern accent. I heard Alice sigh and looked over to see her looking at him with the biggest eyes of adoration. I snorted before I could help myself.

Alice never swoons.

"It's a pool! If you don't want to get wet, don't sit there," The brown-haired one said with an eye roll, his arms crossed in front of him in a defensive stance.

"I'm going to go grab our towels…" I said, excusing myself. I didn't want to see or be near Rose when she blew up at him.

It all happened very quickly, then, but it still felt like everything happened in slow motion.

As I stood, my foot slipped on a patch of water. I started to fall back so I tried to grab on to something to catch myself. That threw my balance backwards. My back hit the water first, then my head. As I hit the water, something hard smashed against the back on my head sending waves of pain through my body as everything went black.

A/N: Review and let me know what you think! Should I do an EPOV of them meeting for the first time (that would be in the next chapter). Let me know! I will send you a preview and you can tell me what you all (my 800 plus viewers) think.

Thanks! :D
