Hey guys, sorry it took me longer to upload this for you. I had kind of a busy weekend and school is starting to get crazy with finals coming. I don't know if I will be able to post a chapter every day like before but I will try my best. Thank you for those still reading, I hope you enjoy the chapter.
I do not own Twilight...but I wish I did.

"Come on girls," Alice yelled at the door, "let's go."
I was still in Rosalie's room helping her put her knickknacks away. I had just pulled a photo out of one of the boxes; Rose was standing next to a beautiful blond man with a woman just as good-looking standing behind them.
"Who are they," I asked handing her the picture.
"Oh that is my family, my brother and my mom," I was a little confused as to where her dad was since before she had said "they". Roes must have understood the look on my face. "My dad died a long time ago so it is only the three of us now," I was about to ask about earlier when she sat next to me. "And I'm sure you are wondering about me saying "they" and "them" earlier?" She laughed a little when all I did was nod. "I guess it is just easier to say that then have to explain my situation. Truthfully I was going to tell you and Alice I just didn't feel like doing it right away. Sorry," she looked down at her hands.
"Rose you and nothing to apologize about," I wasn't sure what to do, should I hug her or just let her be. Alice must have been at the door listening the whole time because she sat next to Rose on the other side and gave her a one-armed hug.
"Hey I thought we were supposed to be having a fun junk-food girly-movie night not being Debbie Downers," Rose got up and pulled us with her.
"Wait before we go out," Alice looked me up and down, "you need to change."
"But we are just going grocery shopping why do I need to change," I looked down at my sweatpants.
Alice and Rose exchanged a glance and then both looked at me, "Because Bella there will be people at the store, people who have eyes. Boys who have eyes," Rose leaned down so she was eyelevel with me while she spoke.
"Fine," I started out the door to my room, "I'll change." They followed behind me, "What are you guys doing?"
"Helping," Alice pushed me into my room and started going through my clothes. "We are going to have to go shopping very soon you don't have nearly enough clothes," I sat on the bed and watch the two of them pick through my closet and dresser.
"I found a good pair of jeans," Rose held up a pair of light blue jeans for Alice to see.
"That will go good with the top I just found," Alice had a dark blue fitted t-shirt in her hands. They both agreed and I was happy that it was nothing too crazy. I changed out of my sweats and oversized t-shirt into the clothes they gave me. My hair was still back in a ponytail and the girls said it would have to do for now.
"Can I put just a little makeup on you, please," Alice gave me a sad pout and I had to say yes.
Rose and her had too much fun putting the makeup on me. They were both shocked when I told them I didn't wear any and the only makeup I owned was from seventh grade. They kept it light and naturally, saying I just needed a little to bring out my "natural beauty", yeah right like I was going to be beautiful (natural or otherwise) standing next to these girls. It only took them ten minutes before we were done and ready to go.
Alice started to bounce down the hall, "So I'm thinking we can go to the grocery store and get as much junk-food as we can. Then tomorrow we can go back and get normal food. Is that okay with you guys," Rose and I started to laugh at how excited she sounded.
"Yes Alice that sounds great," we made our way out of the apartment making sure it was locked behind us.
"I don't have a car," I only hoped that one of them had one or else we would have to take a bus and that didn't sound as fun.
"I do," Rose said. Alice and I gave her a big smile, "Oh great now I'm going to be driving you two around all the time aren't I?" She rolled her eyes but started to laugh.
"Nope," Alice popped the p, "I'm getting my car from home the first time I go back. I just didn't want to deal with it for now. Besides my brother has a car and I'm sure he will let me use it whenever I want."
We pilled into Rose's car and were on our way to the grocery store. It took us a little longer to find it since it was our first time out. Alice said she "knew" where we were going because she had been here with her family a few times but somehow we still got lost. We couldn't breathe from laughing so hard when Alice stuck her head out the window say, "grocery store where are you," people were giving us the weirdest looks. Finally we made it there and that is when the true fun started.
"Alright girls, lets head to the candy aisle first," she grabbed a cart while Rose and I followed behind.
Once we found the candy the three of us stood back and just looked at everything. I had never done a junk-food girly-movie night so I wasn't sure what would be the proper candy to get for this event.
"Okay," Alice walked in font of the two of us, "I say each of us grab our three favorite candies and put them in the cart. That way we will have a wide verity of candy." Her eyes glazed over talking about sweets and I got a little nervous. Alice without sugar was already enough to handle.
We each started looking at the different candies in font of us, each getting lost in our heads. There were so many to pick from and I didn't even know where to start. I decided to go with simple for two of the three, sticking with Twizzlers and Plain M&Ms. I was having a hard time picking out a third candy not sure if I wanted something fruity or more chocolate. My eyes feel on the Mike & Ikes and grabbed a box before I had anymore time to think. I looked over and saw that Rose and Alice were already done and watching me with a weird look on their faces.
"Was that too hard for you Bella," Alice asked me and her and Rose finally broke out in laughter.
I rolled my eyes and dropped my candy in the cart, "Well let's see we you guys got."
Rose was the first to speak up, "I got Skittles, Milk Duds, and Plain M&Ms."
Alice started as soon as she was done, "I've got Gummi Bears, Sour Patch Kids, and Plain M&Ms. And it looks like you got Plain M&Ms too which means we all must have great taste in candy," we giggled a little and threw the candy into the cart. "Now that we have the sweets lets go get something salty. Chip aisle here we come," she started pushing the cart away from the candy.
"Alice, how many times have you done this?" Rose asked before I had to the chance to.
"None," there was no way she was telling the truth she acted like a pro on all things funk-food and girly. "I didn't have a lot of girlfriends in school but I always wanted to have a night like this," she gave us each big smiles. We all stopped once we got to the chips and both Rosalie and I looked at Alice waiting for instructions. "I think we will only need one bag of chips each, does that sound okay to you guys?"
We nodded our heads and each went to find our chips. This didn't take me as long as the candy since I already knew which kind I would be getting. I was the first one done and it was great fun watching the other two walk up and down the aisle. Sometimes one would pick up a bag just to set it back down and walk away. Finally when they were done we each showed the others the kind we got. Since I was done first I got to share first.
"Salt and vinegar," my mouth watered thinking about the yummy chips I held. They both gave me a weird look, "Have either of you tried them?" I asked with my hands on my hips, they both shook their heads no. "Well then don't give me that look they really are good. What did you guys get?"
"Cool Ranch Doritos," Rose threw them in the cart.
"Sour Cream n' Onion," Alice practically moaned as she put them in the cart as well. That got us all to laugh again. "I'm sorry they are so good and I haven't had them in so long."
"Where to now junk-food queen," Rose asked between laughs.
"Okay so I'm thinking we for sure need cookie dough, some pop and of course ice cream. I was also thinking that we could order pizza when we get back to the apartment if that is okay with the two of you. Is there anything that you guys can think of?"
"Oh can we get some Teddy Grahams? And ordering pizza sounds great to me," I loved Teddy Grahams and they sounded perfect for tonight.
"Yeah pizza sounds good and we should get Cheez-Its too," Rose grabbed the cart and pushed it towards the crackers.
We couldn't decide on what kind of Teddy Grahams or Cheez-Its to get so we ended up with two of each. Both original and white cheddar for the Cheez-Its and honey and chocolate Teddy Grahams. From there we went back to the chip aisle since we forgot to get the pop. We decided to get a case of Sprite because all three of us went for the same kind. The cookie dough was easy to get as well. We each wanted chocolate chip and decided to get a tube of Pillsbury cookie dough from there it was on to our last stop, the ice cream.
"I think that we should each get our favorite flavor since ice cream is so important," Alice and I started to laugh at Rose's statement. "What, you both know I am right."
After a few minute we each had our favorite of ice cream in hand.
"Mint Chocolate Chip," Alice put the ice cream in the cart.
"Good but not as good as Peanut Butter Cup," I stuck my tongue out playfully at her as I put mine in the cart.
"Both of yours are good choices but still not as good as," she pulled the ice cream out from behind her back, "Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie." She held it to her chest and let out a big sigh.
We all started to laugh at how crazy we sounded. Then we looked in the cart and couldn't stop the next round of laughter that started. The cart was full of all kind of junk-food. It looked like a little kid was going grocery shopping not three college freshmen. We made our way to the cashiers but before we got there Rose had a perfect idea.
"Oh, follow me," she led us to the bakery. "We are going to need breakfast aren't we," she held up a box of glaze doughnuts in one hand and frosted cinnamon rolls in the other. "Which one do you think?"
"Both," Alice and I said at the same time causing us to start laughing again.
Rose soon ran off saying she forgot something; I had no idea how that was true since we got pretty much ever type of funk-food already. Alice and I mad our way to check out when all of a sudden I saw them. Three men that were unlike anyone I had ever seen before were walking towards us. The first one I saw was enormous with short dark curly hair. He was talking to the other two and I could see his dimples from where I was standing. The one in the middle was very familiar looking but I couldn't figure out why. He had beautiful golden blond hair, he was almost as tall but not as muscle as the first, although he still looked strong. The last was by far the most handsome of the three. His hair was an amazing bronze-copper color that I had never seen on anyone before. It looked like he hadn't combed it today which gave it a sexy look and made me want to run my hands through it. He was laughing at something the first guy had said and he green eyes were sparkling with life. He was just as tall as the blond haired boy and his body looked strong. For a moment I wondered what he would look like without a shirt on. What it would feel like to run my hands all over his chest.
"Edward," Alice's voice stopped the fantasy that was playing in my mind.
The bronze haired one looked up at Alice and all three of them came our way. He was only a foot or two away now and I could see that his eyes were even more amazing the closer you got to him. Even the most beautiful emerald gem would be jealous of his eyes.
"Hey Alice, miss me already," he messed up Alice's hair and for a second I was jealous of her. I wanted to be the one that he was touching.
"You wish," she pushed him away.
Just then Rose got back with chocolate and vanilla frosting in one hand and graham crackers in the other. "We have to have frosting and graham crackers they are so good together," she looked up at us as she threw the frosting and crackers in the cart finally noticing our guests. "Hey Jasper, what are you doing here?"
"Shopping with my roommates," the blond haired one spoke up. How in the heck did my roommates know such gorgeous guys? I was suddenly very happy that they made me change out of my sweatpants. "What are you doing," He looked into the shopping cart and then back up to her, "buying all the junk-food you can find?"
"Is someone going to do introductions," The muscular guy asked looking at his two roommates.
"This is my little sister Alice," the bronze haired boy put he arm around her.
"And this is my brother Edward," she messed up his hair and again I was jealous of her. Right then the only thing I wanted to do was run my hands through his hair.
"This is my sister Rosalie," the blond haired boy pulled her to his side.
"And this is my big brother Jasper."
I looked at the others then up at the muscular boy standing next to me.
He looked back at me, "I don't have a sister," he gave me a sad pout, almost as good as Alice's.
"I don't have a brother."
"Would you like to be my little sister," he pouted even more and there was no way I could say no to him. I nodded my head and he pulled me into a huge hug then set me back down on the ground and looked at the other. "This is my little sister," he looked at me with pleading eyes. I leaned up as far as I could and whispered in his ear my name. "This is my little sister Bella," he finally told the others wrapping he giant arm around me.
"And this is my big brother," it was his turn to lean down and tell me his name, "Emmet." The others started laughing at us and I was mesmerized by the sound of Edward's laugh.
"Little sister what are you doing with all of this junk-food? Don't you know it is bad for you?" Emmet looked into our cart and then back at me shaking his head. I couldn't help but laugh at him; I had never been close to other people but being with these people felt right.
"Sorry brother bear," the nickname just came out and seemed to fit him perfectly. His face lit up at the nickname showing of his dimples, "We are having a junk-food girly-movie night I promise this is not how I eat all the time."
Edward started laughing, "You got them to agree to a movie night with you already?" He looked down at Alice then back at Rose and me, "Did she give you one of her pouts?"
Alice pushed Edward away, "I will have you know that they both wanted to do this and thought it was a great idea." She looked over at me, "Well I guess I did have to give Bella a small pout." Edward and I both laughed and looked at Alice and then each other. It was the first time I looked him in the eyes and for a moment I forgot how to breath.
"We should get going before our ice cream starts to melt," Rose pulled me out of the spell I was under.
Each set of siblings, including Emmet and I, exchanged hugs before we started to unload the cart.
"Make sure you eat something healthy tomorrow little sister," Emmet laughed. "That is if you aren't dead from junk-food overload." I playfully pushed him away. As they walked away I made eye contact with Edward one more time. He gave me a crocked smile and I felt my knees go weak. I wasn't able to stand normally until the three of them were around the corner and out of sight.
I reached into my pocket for some money when the cashier told us the amount but Alice beat me to it, "Tonight is my treat." She gave me a smug smile and pushed me to go stand with Rose.
"Alice I don't like the idea of you paying for all of this," I motioned to the bags full of junk-food.
"I don't care if you like it or not I'm still doing it," she stuck her tongue out at me as she got the change back from the cashier.
The ride back to the apartment was filled with talk of our "brothers".
"What are the odds that out of everyone living in Seattle our brothers would live together," Alice leaned between the two front seats from the back.
"I know it is crazy," Rose looked over her shoulder.
I still hadn't said anything since my mind was still on Edward. I know I had just seen him but it was already hard to believe that he was as beautiful as I remembered. The memory of his green eyes looking at me sent shivers down my body.
"And how cute is Bella's new brother," Rose looked over at me wiggling her eyebrows. "The way he wrapped you up into a big hug was great, I wouldn't mind having his hands around me," she whispered the last part to herself but Alice and I still heard her.
"Hey," I playfully hit her arm, "that is my big brother you are talking about." We all started laughing.
"Bella's brother? What about your brother Rose," Alice's eyes glazed over. "Now there is a man I wouldn't mind feeling up." Rose had tears running down her face she was laughing so hard.
"You have a crush on my brother?" She looked back at Alice as if she had a third eye.
"So what if I do," in true Alice fashion she stuck her tongue out at Rose.
"Even though I've only known you for a few hours you have my blessing to go after him. That is if you can ever get him to relax and have fun," Alice already started bouncing up and down giggling in the backseat that she didn't hear the end.
"What about you Bella," Alice got her face right next to mine.
"What about me?" I knew what she wanted but I didn't want her to know that I had been thinking inappropriate thoughts about her brother.
"You know what she means," Rose stopped the car in front of our apartment. "I saw the way you were looking at Edward," Alice leaned forward and looked at me.
"You were looking at my brother," she started to laugh hard.
"I have no idea what you are talking about Rosalie and we need to get the ice cream in the house before it melts," my face was burning hot with embarrassment as I got out of the car and headed to the apartment.
"You're not a good liar Bella. We will get the truth out of you one way or another," Alice called from close behind me. Something about the way her voice sounded made me a little scared of what she would do to get the truth from me.
There was no more talk for the boys when we got into the apartment and for that I was grateful. Alice took over as junk-food girly-movie night leader as soon as week walked into the kitchen.
"Alright, Rose spread the junk-food over the coffee table," Rose gave her a salute and marched away. "Bella put the ice cream in the freezer and the cookie dough in the refrigerator. I'm going to call the pizza place and order two large pizzas," Rose looked up from the coffee table and gave Alice the same confused look that I had on my face. "One cheese and one pepperoni, does that work for you guys?" She looked back and forth between Rose and me, "What?"
"Alice, why do we need two large pizzas?"
"Because we do," she grabbed her cell phone and the phone book. "Besides we can just eat the leftovers tomorrow." She started dialing and Rose and I got back to work.
Once everything was set up just right we were instructed to change into our pajamas, grab pillows, blankets, and one or two of our favorite girly movies. I changed into a different pair of sweatpants then the ones I had on in the morning and a bigger t-shirt. When I got to the living room with all my goodies the other two were waiting for me. They were both dressed in sweatpants and tank tops; it was nice to see them in something not so dressy. Yet even in sweats they both looked gorgeous. Alice and I ended up taking over the couch while Rose filled the loveseat with her blankets and pillows.
"Okay ladies," Alice plopped down next to me, "let's see what movies you guys have."
Rose was the first to share, "I grabbed two because I wasn't sure which one was better. First, The Notebook," she held it to her chest much like she did to the ice cream before, "Ryan Gosling need I say anymore." All three of us were lost in thought for a moment when his name was said then started laughing. "The second on is Pretty Woman."
"I haven't seen that movie in years, my mom used to make me watch it with her but shut my eyes when anything sexual was happening," I started giggling at the memory and the two girls laughed with me.
"Okay my turn," Alice bounced next to me. "I too picked two movies. The first one is Sweet Home Alabama," Rose and I nodded our heads in approval. "And the second one is The Wedding Singer. Bella what did you pick?"
"Like you guys I had a hard time picking just one so I grabbed two. I'm not sure how you guys will feel about the first one since it is different then the ones you picked," I bit my lip nervously.
"Oh just tell us already," Rose threw a pillow at me.
"Beauty and the Beast," it felt like a good idea at the time but I wasn't sure as to how they would react to a Disney movie.
"Oh that is perfect," Alice practically bounced into my lap, "I love that movie and haven't seen it in years. Good pick Bella." She covered her mouth and started to giggle, "Bell, Bella, now I see why you like it. Are we going to find you a beast to turn into a prince this year," Rose started laughing. "Or have you already found him," Alice wiggled her eyebrows at me and started poking my sides causing me to laugh.
"Alice stop," it was hard to breath and tears were rolling down my face. Finally she gave up giving me a smug smile. "Now do you want to know the second movie or are you going to start poking me again?" I gave her a stern look but my smile gave me away. She waited for me to continue, "Thank you. Now the second one is not only one that I love but I also thought it would be fitting." I pulled the movie out from behind me so the others could see.
"Sleepless in Seattle," Rose smiled at me, "I like the way you think Bella."
Just then there was a knock at the door, "Pizza time," Alice ran to answer it. Again I tried to give her money but she still wouldn't take it, saying how tonight was on her. We decided that we would watch Sleepless in Seattle first and then The Notebook. By the time the first movie was done a whole pizza was gone and we had started on the junk-food. All three of us cried during The Notebook and thought it would be best to watch a funny movie after it was done. Alice put The Wedding Singer in while Rose and I got ice cream for the three of us.
Sometime during the third movie Rose thought it would be great to play truth or dare but with just truths so we could get to know each other better. Alice agreed it would be a great idea, I on the other hand was a little nervous.
"Okay," Alice folded her knees under her, "since it was your idea Rose you pick first."
Rose gave me a sly look, "Bella," my hands started to sweat, "how many boyfriends have you had?" I was finally able to breath easy.
"Just one in high school but it wasn't anything serious." They seemed happy with my answer, "Alice, what was your first thought when you saw Jasper?" It was the first thing out of my mouth.
"Yummy," we all started giggling at her answer. "Bella," her eyes narrowed on me.
"Wait, don't you have to pick Rose?" I was scared for her question.
"Nope she can pick whoever she wants," Rose's face held a smug smile.
"Bella," Alice stated again, "do you have a thing for my brother?" We all laughed at the way she said thing.
My face was bright red and I knew I couldn't hid it from them any longer. "Maybe," I looked down at my hands.
"Awww, Bella has a crush," Rose joked and I threw a pillow at her. "Just kidding Bella I think it is cute."
"Me too," Alice pulled me into a hug. "You and my brother should totally date then when you guys got married we would be sisters. And when I marry Jasper Rose and I will be sisters. And since Rose will marry Emmet, and he is your "brother", you two will be sisters too," it took me a minute to understand what she just said. The next thing I knew I was on the floor laughing so hard I was holding my sides.
"Alice you are crazy," I was finally able to pull myself together.
"Just wait," she pointed to her head, "I know it will happen."
"Did you guys only want to play this game so I would tell you that I have a crush on Edward," it was the first time I said his name out loud and I loved the way it rolled off of my tongue.
"Yes," Rose didn't even try to cover it up.
I threw pillows at both of them and this caused a full out war. Not only were pillows being thrown but all different sorts of junk-food. Alice was bouncing around laughing the whole time, finally all the sugar had caught up to her. Rose started to throw Gummi Bears at her and Alice tried to catch them in her mouth. I sat there and laughed at how crazy we looked. Once our mini war was done we made our way to the kitchen to get some ice cream. Rose made each of us try the kind she got and it was like heaven. She laughed at the far off look each of us got when we eat it.
"Told you mine was the best," she walked back to the living room with her bowl.
Alice put in Beauty and the Beast and sang to every song. During "Tale as Old as Time" she grabbed my hand and we started dancing around the room.
"Dance with me Bell," she giggled at her own joke.
All three of us crashed after five movies, a whole pizza, a bowl of ice cream, and an unhealthy amount of junk-food. It was by far one of the best nights of my life and I couldn't wait to start my new life with the great girls around me.
