Alright so here is the next chapter thank you to my beta . This chapter was, I guess you can call it a kinda recap chapter and it is short so that the next chapter can be extra long and super awesome, I'm really excited about the next chapter!

Last night I went to see Dragonette and they were super sick and I was totally busted when I got home, I went right to sleep, I was planning on posting it last night but I couldn't because I was unconscious! Anyways enjoy!

Disclaimer: Twilight = awesome Twilight= not mine Twilight= Stephenie Meyers

It felt like my head was pulsing and my throat was dry, I could feel my stomach trying to separate from my body and regurgitate anything that I put in it last night. Hangovers, how do you get rid of them!

I guess this isn't the worst part about last night; the worst part is that I can't even remember anything from the club and I probably ruined Alice's dress because I was still sleeping in it. I can't even remember how I got home last night.

"Hey sleeping beauty" Alice was peeking at me through the door and I saw that she had brought a tray of tea with her.

"Hey Alice, I'm sorry if I did anything last night, because I can't recall what happened or what I did." Alice perched herself on the edge of my bed and handed me a cup of tea. I sipped lightly and reveled in the soothing nature of it as it slid down my aching throat.

"Bella, don't apologize. You found help in the only outlet you could at the time, and I know that if I were to break up with my boyfriend of a year, I would have drank much more then you did my dear." She laughed softly and I joined her, I'm so glad she was so understanding. I missed Eric, but I probably will not be drinking for a long time now, I just needed to get over him.

"So recap last night for me" Alice's face lit up at a chance to tell the story, she huddled closer to me and got in the gossip position.

"Well, you hit the bar and then you actually started hitting the bar, the bartender was trying to hit on you but you didn't even care, then you randomly started to dance with this guy, and I'm sorry sweetie but you are an awful dancer and we are going to sign you up for dance lessons as soon as we can. Any who, then you wandered off somewhere, and eventually you turned up and then you had this random number…" a number, I quickly grabbed for my bag to look for my napkin number, "Bella, what's wrong?"

I didn't answer her, I was still in my mad search for that number, If I had called it I don't know how badly I could have embarrassed myself. From what Alice already told me I already have embarrassed myself to the max, but this would just be the cherry on top of an awful night.

"Did I call it?" she nodded slowly, I felt the blood rush to my face my worst nightmare had come true.

"And…"

"You have a dinner reservation on Thursday for 7 at Tonotina." She had a big smile on her face and I could tell she was happy with this news, but I for one was turning to stone.

I was frozen in pure shock, how could I have done such a thing, well I know how…but I can't go through with the date not only will I embarrass myself, I just don't think I'm ready to see other people quite yet. I realized Alice was waiting for me to say something she had been tapping her fingers impatiently.

"Sounds fancy…" was all I could get out.

"Bella please say you'll go and not wimp out." I looked away from her so that when I told her no I wouldn't see the disappointment in her eyes. But what happened next totally shocked me into disbelief; Alice took hold of my shoulders and started shaking me.

"Alice…" my voice vibrated, my head was pounding harder with pain.

"Bella you have no idea how amazing an opportunity this could be!" Alice had stopped shaking me but still held on tight to my shoulders. She was looking straight into my eyes and I could tell she wasn't going to joke about what she was going to say. "You'll be getting out there and meeting new people and ultimately getting over Eric."

"Alice, I think last night pretty much covered the whole 'getting over Eric' charade"

Her face deflated and I could tell she was getting either angry with me or disappointed, I couldn't tell.

"Bella, I want to see you happy" she was sad, not angry, but sad. She looked positively heart broken I almost felt bad for making her so unhappy, I smiled big and wide for her, "See I'm happy, look big smiles!"

Alice frowned and her eyes were sad, I knew she was getting ready to go into lecture mode.

"Bella smiles may represent happy but that doesn't mean the one sporting a smile is actually happy. I notice things Bella and whenever you think no one is looking you look so…sad."

"I'm not sad, I'm just…" I was trying to look for a better word for what I was thinking. Distraught, angry, depressed?

"Bella please, no more excuses, I know you will not admit that you're sad. You're too proud to do that. And I don't want to hear you say your sad or even acknowledge it, all I want is for you to be genuinely happy."

In that moment I was overwhelmed with love for Alice, how one human being can be so amazingly caring is astounding to me, and I know that if it had not been for Alice I would already be back with Eric and Mike, I would be like a living broken record playing over and over, reliving the same mistakes.

I embraced Alice in a tight hug and before I could stop them, hot tears spilled out of my eyes. I held on tight to my best friend because I knew that if she were to ever go away I would be in a permanent mourning state. I finally pulled away to look at Alice and saw that she was bawling her eyes out too.

"Look at us! We're hot messes!" she said in a shaky tone, she wiped away my tears with her thumb softly and grabbed a tissue for me and put it to my nose, "Blow." She ordered, so I blew into the tissue. She looked into it and grimaced, which only made me laugh.

"Didn't your mother ever tell you it's not lady like to look into the tissue after one has blown ones nose into it?" I giggled, and for that I received a punch in the arm.

"I bet your mama also told you never to punch a girl, but look who just did!"

I inhaled and exhaled slowly relishing the perfect moment I had just shared with a good friend, "Alice. Thank you."

"Bella, No problem."

Rosalie had stayed the night and was snoring on the couch. We snuck down the stairs carefully to the living room where she was sound asleep. Alice gave me a sly grin and I knew what she was about to do she tip toed over to Rose and pounced on top of her motionless body but she didn't stay on top for long; Rosalie screamed loudly and reacted at lightning speed throwing Alice up in the air and onto the floor with a thud.

"Jesus Rose you'd think I had just tried to steal the cookies from the cookie jar!" Alice said as she dusted herself off and got up off the floor.

"I'll shove you in a jar; seriously can't a girl get any sleep around here?" Rose snarled, she grabbed her pillow and laid back down on the couch facing inward so that she could escape us.

Alice pranced back over to Rose and started shaking her back and forth, "Well not until she tells us why she was so happy last night, did you meet a boy, is he cute, is he nice, is he good in bed-"

Rose turned around and glared at us, "Alice, Alice, Alice I don't spill all of my secrets" she nodded her head in disapproval and stretched out onto the couch.

"Yes but you will once I tell you that I have your favorite pair of heels held hostage somewhere and I would just hate to have anything happen to them." Alice smiled eerily and Rose's face went ghost white.

"You wouldn't" Rose whispered quietly, her face looked scared to death and I knew that when it came to shoes Rose never joked around.

"I don't know, would I?" Alice taunted, Rose's face contorted in between spilling and staying tight lipped, she finally broke and began to tell.

"Alright I was waiting until we were official and exclusive before I told you guys but I'm seeing someone." We all squealed in delight at Rose's good news.

"And I was so happy because we had met up at the bar and had a really, REALLY good time dancing." Rose was blushing terribly, she looked so cute!

"I bet you did, the smile you had on your face was so big I was wondering why your jaw didn't dislocate!" Rose threw a pillow at Alice playfully, earning a pout from Alice.

Rose cleared her throat getting ready to say more, "He's handsome and strong and very, very good in bed Alice." Again we were squealing like schoolgirls and rolling on the floor with laughter

Once we had calmed down from our laughter I saw that Alice was practically jumping out of her seat, she was bouncing up and down side to side and had a goofy grin on her face.

"Do you have something you'd like to share Alice?" Rose asked in a motherly tone.

"I have a secret too!" she squealed and started clapping her hands, "Alright so since we are on the topic of guys and bars, I met my special someone at the bar last night too! His name is Jasper and we met a couple of weeks ago and have been 'running into each other' ever since."

"Why did you put air quotes around 'running into each other'?"

"Because when I was walking to send my mother a Christmas letter because the post office can be so slow, they don't call it snail mail for nothing you know, and she never gets my letters on time which makes me sad and you know Christmas just sneaks up on you…"

"Alice you're rambling again" Rose sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Sorry anyways, I wasn't paying attention and he was, I was about to cross the street when he stopped me because a car was about to run me over."

"WHAT!" Rose and I yelled. "You mean he saved your life? An you almost got ran over and you didn't tell anybody? How did you keep that secret in so long?" I asked.

Alice frowned sadly, "I didn't want you to feel sad that I just started a relationship while yours was just ending"

"Alice I would be happy for you no matter what I'm going through, you can tell me anything at anytime." I clutched her hand and she gave me a small smile, "Please Alice, continue."

Alice shook herself out and instantly got back into character "so then when he up-righted me I said 'thank god you were here or else I'd be a pancake right now' and then he laughed the most beautiful laugh ever and his smile was so white, and you know how I feel about dental hygiene! Anyways, he was so charming and convinced me to go to coffee, when it was time to go I forgot to get his number to call him again. I was so bummed that I'd never see him again. But then somehow, he would show up at the same places as me and we would talk for hours, eventually we did get our numbers exchanged." She sighed and her goofy grin was now on her face.

"That is so…romantic Alice." I said dazedly.

I was so jealous that someone loved her enough to track her down. At first it may sound creepy, but the way Alice explained it-it sounded like it was straight out of a movie and not creepy at all.

"I know, I just can't believe its happening to me. Anyways I guess you ladies will be the first to hear it, but I think that I'm already in love with him. " She bit her lip and peeked through her eyelashes to see our reactions, when we didn't say anything she went into defense mode, "I know its soon, but I just can't fight the feeling, whenever he's around me it feels like the world stopped just for us so that we could spend forever together."

"Alice, I think that you are probably one of the few women out there who have ever experienced true romance that was not written in the pages of a novel." Rose laid back on her couch and closed her eyes, probably thinking about her new beau and the romance she has received.

"And for that I am thankful. And you know what else I'm thankful for…I get to go Christmas shopping for him, and on the topic of shopping. Bella, your date is tomorrow which means that you will need a hot date dress which means…"

"Shopping, I know I kind of guessed I would be going shopping sooner or later."

"Well no time better than the present, I say we have 60 minutes and counting to get ready, now GO!" Alice yelled as we ran to our rooms to get ready for the mall.

Authors Note: Alright so I hoped you liked the chapter, I thought how Alice and Jasper met was cute, so fairy tale-ish! The next chapter will hopefully be totally awesome and I gotta start writing it. If you have time please review!
