Ok here is the party scene, so here we go. I hope it lives up to your expectations :)

Disclaimer: Twilight characters belong to Stephanie Meyer; I just changed some things and added some of my own characters.

"I can't believe you bought that thing!" I looked at Gina and then back at the magazine that was sitting on the table.

"Well, I thought if you just read it, you would feel better" she told me.

"How in the world would reading about their being in love make me feel better" I asked.

"You know, like just ripping a Band-Aid off instead of slowly removing it. Sorry, we can just throw it away." She grabbed the magazine and started walking towards to garbage can.

"No! I mean, I guess it wouldn't hurt just to see what they said" I told her.

" 'Edward Cullen and Jessica Stanley have been covering up their love affair for some time now. They have been seen coming from romantic candle lit dinners and they have also spotted walking along a beautiful, private beach together, looking quite cozy. We were wondering when they were going finally going to fess up and just admit what we all knew already. Did they really think that we wouldn't figure it out? I mean, they are in almost all the same movies and they are always together. An inside source says that things are moving along really great, they are really happy and they are soon going to be planning their wedding.'" Gina finished reading the story and set the magazine down on the table.

"That's all they had to say" she informed me. "Come on, let go."

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"I made us appointments at the salon to get our hair done for tonight" she told me.

Three hours later…

"Bella, you look amazing. Wait until the guys get a load of you. I know some really nice guys I could introduce you to." Brian told me as I stepped into the cab.

"Thanks Brian. I still can't believe I let Gina talk me into wearing these shoes." I could feel my checks getting hot.

"What can I say, I rock!" She said with a chuckle. "But really Bella, you do look drop dead gorgeous. I knew that dress was so you!"

I scanned my outfit. I had to admit, I did feel pretty amazing. The dress was a crimson red with thicker straps. The top was trimmed with black lace and went down to my ankles. The hem line was uneven so it flowed when I walked. I was not too happy about the shoes that Gina had picked out for me. They were red satin to match my dress with ribbons that laced up my legs. Heels plus Bella equals disaster. The salon had French twisted my hair and then curled the ends. I had a small red flower above my right ear. I was wearing a little black sweater with three quarter length sleeves.

We stopped outside a very posh looking hotel and got out. I had to stand there and just stare at it. It was beautiful. It had big pillars that were lit up by twinkle lights.

We followed a group of very poshy people into a beautiful room. There were more twinkle lights everywhere and the most beautiful music playing. I noticed that we were going to have to walk down a lot of steps to get to the main floor. Oh no, steps!! I'm screwed. Talk about making an appearance everyone would be talking about for months to come. I could see the headlines now. 'Strange girl falls down steps at a very posh party'. Brian must have noticed my concern because he grabbed my arm and tucked it under his. I smiled a very relieved unspoken "thank you" at him and he smiled back. Here we go! is all I could think.

EdPOV

I was standing in the middle of a huge group of my piers trying to look like I was enjoying myself. The waiter walked by and I exchanged my empty glass for a full glass of champagne. Maybe if I couldn't have fun, I could at least get drunk! I felt a hand clap on my shoulder. I turned to face a grinning James.

"Hey, here's my leading man! How are you?" he leaned closer "I see you handled our little problem from the other day." He nodded in Jessica's direction, who was glued to my side. She hadn't taken more than ten steps away from me all night except when we passed the full length mirror in the entryway.

"Hi Jamesie, Thank you so much for that perfect story you gave Encore. Although whose ever idea it was to use that picture, I want them fired. Can you do that for me Jamesie, Please?"

"Anything to make you happy Jess! I'll see what I can do!" He winked at her and she gave him a peck on the check.

I am just glad the story is finally out, aren't you Eddie. We don't have to hide our love anymore!"

"We are not in love Jessica!" I practically screamed.

Jessica playfully smacked my arm. "Oh please Edward. I see those sly little glances you give me and we have such a connection when we kiss" she said, flipping her hair over her shoulder.

"It's called acting Jessica!" I informed her. She just rolled her eyes and giggled.

Jessica turned to talk to some woman that came over to give her compliments about her dress. Finally, she had her attention elsewhere. I will have to remember to send those girls some flowers tomorrow.

"Whoa, I think I just found my girl for the evening!" James practically yelled in my ear.

I turned around to see which "lucky" lady had caught his eye and there she was. A vision in red, walking very slowly down the stairs. She looked like a dream coming to life.

My Bella!

Ok, so I know I didn't write about the whole party but still. I didn't want to make the chapters too long that you would lose interest. Are they too long, too short, or just right?
