"Oh… My… Gosh!! This would look terrific on you Bella!!" Alice trilled as she held up a silky navy blue dress that flowed to the ground, and tied around the neck. I must admit, it did look cute.
I was shopping with Alice right now in one of the many shops in Seattle. And she was really going overboard. She was finding way to many expensive outfits for me, and I wasn't cooperating, so that just mad her more irritated. It was quite funny. Every time I would reject an outfit, she would stomp off cussing under her breath and go find another insanely to expensive outfit. And now we were in the formal section and she was holding this dress in front of me, evaluating.
"Yea, it is cute Alice…" I started and looked at the price tag. 150.00!! What, no way is she buying this for me. She saw my reaction and immediately started to glare at me.
"I don't care what you think Bella, I'm buying this dress no matter how big of a fit you throw. I mean, the Fall Formal is coming up and you need something to where." She stated matter-of-factly. I just sent death glares at her as she turned and headed towards the check out. She was bouncing with excitement. I just shook my head and smiled. It was impossible to stay mad at Alice when she was always so ecstatic and happy. So I just trailed along and watched her buy the dress. When we walked out of the store she started talking about different stuff while skipping gracefully down the street. I just followed and listened, which she was talking about the formal coming up and I really wish she would talk about something else.
"So… has anyone asked you to the formal yet? As you know, I'm going with Jasper. He asked me the other day! I'm sooo excited!!" she started to bounce while she skipped.
"Um… no one's asked me yet. I can see why…" I looked myself over. I was just wearing a pair of faded jeans and a sweatshirt. It was pretty cold today.
When Alice heard what I said though, she stopped skipping and bouncing and turned to me with a glare on her perfect, usually happy pixie face
"Isabella Marie Swan, don't you think like that. Your beautiful no matter what. And there's nothing wrong with you. Got it?" she asked. She just stood there and watched me. I knew that when she used my full name, she was being serious and there was no reason in arguing with her. So I just sighed and nodded my head. Her smile returned and she turned around and started skipping again. I just shook my head and pulled out my ipod. I put the headphones in and listened to the song I caught myself listening to a lot these days. It was "Your Guardian Angel" by the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. I played it and started to sing along with it silently.
"When I see your
smile
Tears roll down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm
strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks
through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the
one
I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up
with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it
all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
It's okay. It's
okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are
crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and
nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one
I will
never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you
forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even
if saving you sends me to heaven
Cuz you're my, you're my, my,
my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz
I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and
Please tell me
you'll stay woah, stay woah
Use me as you will
Pull my
strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my
skies are turning gray
I will never let you fall
I'll stand
up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even
if saving you sends me to heaven"
At the end of the song, I felt a few tears fall down my cheeks. I wiped them away and listened to the other songs. "Your Guardian Angel" was Jacob and mine's song, so it got to me every time I listened to it. I just never got tired of it. It was my favorite song. But I always cried when I listened to it, but I was never ashamed. I didn't care what people thought when they saw me. It… it just didn't matter to me anymore.

When Alice and me got back to the dorm, she made me try on the dress immediately. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I had to admit, I did look hot. The dress hugged my curves perfectly and it made my upper part more noticeable. I walked out of the bathroom to show off the dress. When I came out Rosalie and Alice both gasped at the same time.
"Wow! Bella, you look hot!" Rosalie said admiringly. She smiled at me in approval. I smiled back and turned my gaze to Alice. Her mouth was open and she smiled a huge grin and screamed.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEE!! NO boy will be able to resist you when they see you in that dress. It looks perfect on you!!" she shrieked. She ran over and hugged me. I smiled at, now happy that I let her buy this dress for me.
"Okay, you have to go change so we can hang it up and save it for the formal." Alice commanded. I just giggled at her sternness. Then the door opened and in came Emmett, Jasper, and finally Edward. When I saw him my breath caught and my heart accelerated. He turned his head and scoped the room. When his eyes swept by me they stopped and widened to the size of quarters. His mouth literally dropped open and he froze. I felt my cheeks reddened and I knew they were at least the color of a fire truck. I looked down and smiled. He just shook his head as to clear his mind and smiled his crooked grin. I had figured out that he only used his crooked grin for me. It was like my special smile that he only let me see.
"Hey ladies. What's going on here." Emmett boomed as he took in my appearance.
"We're just checking out Bella's new formal dress. Now no boy will be able to resist her." Alice clarified and as she said that last part, her eyes flickered to Edward as if to show she was right.
"I'm going to go change now." I said quickly and fled from the room. When I got to the bathroom, I took of the dress and put my regular clothes on. I walked back out to the living room. I looked around, Rosalie and Emmett on the couch, cuddled into each other, Alice and Jasper in the arm chair, Alice's head rested on Jasper's shoulder, and Edward was sitting on the floor smiling. When he saw me, he gave me his crooked grin and patted the space next to him. I went over and plopped down beside him. I just looked at him and smiled to myself. I may not get over Jacob soon, but I know I will. And now I have 5 friends to help me, and 1 who I seemed to be falling for, even though I know I shouldn't be. I thought to myself and looked at the people around me. Then I turned my gaze back to the one face I couldn't keep my eyes off of. When I did, he was looking at me intently and he smiled. His eyes searched mine and then he pushed a piece of hair that was in my face behind my ear. I smiled and closed my eyes at his touch. I let a tear fall down my face, and just as fast as it had fallen, it was gone with one soft movement of Edward's hand. I smiled wider and sighed.
"Thank you. For everything." I breathed. I was falling for him. And I'm falling fast. I thought and opened my eyes and looked at the T.V. But is he falling for me the same way I'm falling for him? And with that, I let my mind wander free, not even paying attention to reality.
