A/N: Hey people so this chapter is basically dedicated to all those who added me to their favorites/story alerts. Thanks guys, you rock. Oh yeah, there are no vamps in this story all humans, Alice is not Edwards's sister but Emmet is his brother. Alice's parents are still alive. That should clear up any confusion. Please review.

I just noticed that I didn't put a disclaimer in the last two chapters; I guess I was just trying to run from the awful truth but I had to face it eventually.

Disclaimer: I Don't Own Twilight. *sobs* the truth hurts!


Crap I'm really late. I'd be surprised if I even make it there by the time it was finished. Damn Alice and her stupid shopping trips. I'll murder her when I get back.

I shouted a hasty goodbye to Charlie and ran to my truck but unfortunately for me I can't walk two steps without finding something to trip over and my foot caught a crack in the pavement and I went flying forwards and landed on my face.

Oh well that was bound to happen and at least I wasn't bleeding. I quickly got up and made my way towards my truck but more slowly this time.

By the time I reached the meeting it had already started. I hurried towards the right room and slid in an empty chair.

I had joined this cancer support group a month before when I had been diagnosed of cancer.

I had initially joined just to get Charlie off my back but now I seriously enjoyed it. These people were like my second family. They always supported me and gave me hope and it felt good to be there for someone who was going through difficult times.

A guy was speaking but I was sitting so far back that I couldn't make out who he was. I couldn't concentrate on what he was saying because I was feeling so sleepy and tired.

Alice had dragged me to the mall at nine in the morning. NINE IN THE MORNING! It's a weekend. I should have been allowed to sleep in but no the evil pixie always gets what she wants.

Angela, a friend I had made almost immediately, broke in to my reverie. "Hey Bells, where'd you go off to?"

"Oh hi Ang didn't see you there. I was just thinking I guess. You won't believe what just happened." I told her about the makeover and the shopping trip and to my surprise she just laughed.

Some friend she was. I expected her to sympathize with me.

"Gee thanks a lot ang, remind me never to tell you anything ever again."

"I'm sorry it's just that you seem so scared of Alice."

My jaw dropped. "I. AM. NOT. SCARED. OF. THE. PIXIE."

I didn't know whether I was trying to convince her or myself because deep down I think I was scared of her. Alice could turn pretty gruesome when she was angry.

"Okay, okay you don't have to shout you know."

Uh-oh. Now everyone in the room was staring at me. The guy stopped speaking and was gaping at me. I blushed after a minute everyone turned away.

I glanced over at Angela and then we both burst out laughing.

"The next time I go in to another rant clamp your hand on my mouth."

"Sure Thing." She said with a giggle.

After about half an hour I walked back to my truck, my feet dragging on the ground because I didn't have the strength to lift them. I could barely manage to drive home so I switched on the radio and Gives You Hell by The All American Rejects was playing so I sang along to it just to keep myself from dozing off.

I wake up every evening, with a big smile on my face, and it never feels out of place

And you're still probably working, at a 9 to 5 pace, I wonder how bad that tastes,

When you see my face hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell,

When you walk my way hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell,

Now where's that picket fence love?, and where's that shiny car?, and did it ever get you far?,

You've never seem so tense love, I've never seen you fall so hard, do you know where you are?.

And truth be told I miss you, and truth be told I lying,

When you see my face hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell,

When you walk my way hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell,

When you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well,

Then he's a fool, you're just as well, hope it gives you hell


By the time I reached home I was giggling like mad. This song always made me laugh for some weird reason. But then I remembered that I had to go to school tomorrow and that Alice would be the one dressing me.

Knowing Alice she was bound to pick out something really attention grabbing. Attention was something that I avoided at all costs because I would either blush or fall on my face and in both the cases I would end up embarrassing myself.

Besides it wasn't like I was beautiful or anything I don't care what Alice had to say I knew that I wasn't pretty and that she was just saying that to make me feel better about myself.

I didn't stand a chance of winning Edwards attention with people like Rosalie and Alice around. Edward was like a god and he deserved someone better then me.

Sighing I walked in the house. Charlie was in the living room watching the game. I went straight up to my room not wanting to talk to him. I couldn't stand to see him so sad.

I didn't sleep well that night because it was raining pretty hard and the sound of the rain pounding on the roof kept me awake all night needless to say I was feeling really grouchy in the morning and in no mood for Alice's perkiness.

She came to my house with so much stuff that I thought she actually managed to rob the mall. She spent over an hour on me just doing the hair and make up. That's right over an hour on hair and make up. Finally I was ready.

She dressed me in simple yet elegant clothes, dark skinny jeans with a blue off shoulder top, which I think was quite an accomplishment for her seeing as she always tended to go over board with everything.

"Wow Bella, you look gorgeous." That meant a lot coming from Rosalie because she was basically the most beautiful person I had ever seen.

"Thanks Rose." I said smiling.

"Knock 'em dead tiger."

I rolled my eyes. That was Alice for you.

We got to school in the nick of time thanks to Alice's driving. I took a deep breathe.

Time for the Show to Begin.
