(Two Friday's before Charity Event)

BPOV

" Mother, I am not going to be wearing a long tweed, long sleeved turtle neck dress. It's summer not winter, and I am not an old lady. That dress is ghastly." I said, dragging my mother out of a used clothing store.

" I'm going to go look in Nordstrums." I stated " You do...Whatever you wish to do. I'll see you guys at home."

I swear my mother was freaking out about my clothing attire for the charity event, and the dresses were horrible. It makes me question who picked out my dress on my Birthday. Esme must of helped her out, she has good style. My mother was a 'loose t-shirt and jeans' kind of person, and I had gone through that when I was twelve. Then I got laughed at when we were shopping in a store, both wearing white t-shirt's, skinny jeans and gym shoes. Never, will I ever, match skinny jeans with gym shoes. It's a fashion disaster as Alice would say.

My parents had accompanied me on this trip, for they both needed clothes. Dad's suit was so outdated that it was a dress robe, something you don't see often. My mother didn't even own a proper dress. We took seperate cars, because I, of course, had a shift. Luckily they had gotten their cousin, Hayden, who is seventeen, to help Seth and I. He was a nice kid, just a few months younger then me.

He was cute with his grey eyes and carmel colored hair, he wasn't pale, but not extremely tan, just a medium color. He was thin, kinda bean-stalk-ish, but not enough to see his ribs sticking out. His face was strong and angular... If I wasn't in complete love with my best friend I would date him.

When I found the Nordstrums located close to the mall, I hesitantly walked in, a little unsure. This was going to be my first time basically shopping by myself. I pushed back the anxiety and walked in with as much confidence I could munster up.

As I looked through the racks and saw many dresses, none just called to me. Finally I just picked up a few and figured that they may look better on me, then the rack. I even picked up a pink and black one that was cute.

Another mission that I had today, was pick a tie and button up for Edward, and it had to match my dress. Pink would amuse him greatly, and piss him off...

I first tried on a white cotton dress. It slipped on easily, and knew that it was going to be an issue. I didn't want a tight dress, heck that would make me look frumpy and probably lumpy, and I wasn't lumpy. It fit on me like a Hefty garbage bag and this was definately not cotton, more like wool. I stripped it off quickly. The next was strapless so I slipped my bra off and put it on. I got it over my top half, and inched it down the rest. I had two fucking asses in this dress.

I peeled it off my body and went to the next one. A blue dress that had silver embroidery on the waist. When I put it on, it was pretty, but nothing that was really different. The beads were loose and there was a string that tied it tighter, but it was a different fabric then the dress. Like sweatpants fabric.

Finally, I came to a pink and black Trixxi Origami Strapless Dress that had splashes of light blue. It looked to be just above the knee. There was an elastic back for good fit and it was nicely lined. The fabric looked like satin, but it was polyester and machine washable. The pink sash on the waist had a tie in the back, but it was thicker and less cheap looking. It was only sixty eight dollars, which was affordable.

When I slipped it on it fit snuggly over my chest and waist, it flowed out nicely and stopped only two or three inches above the knee. I tied the pink bow in the back and examined myself in the mirror. There was no huge amounts of cleavage showing, which I was glad for. It fit very nicely on my chest, and didn't show much. I took a quick picture and sent it to Alice.

My phone buzzed only a second later with a response.

So adorable! You have to get that! xoxo Alice.

I smiled, glad that I had actually picked out a dress myself, that Alice approved of. I slipped out of it and put on my other clothes. I put the other dresses back and went to check out. I had many shoes that I could wear with it, now I just had to head to Express Men which was next to Nordstrums. A lady rang me up and bagged me, and I was out.

I walked over to the store and walked in. My dress was mostly pink an black, but since it had a light blue, I would do Edward a solid and not get him a pink tie. I took out my phone to shoot a text to Edward.

Your tie is light blue.

He responded a minute later.

Thank the fuck god. I love you.

I rolled my eyes.

Don't tell you're girlfriend you said that.

I sent it with a bitter smile as I walked towards the ties.

I wouldn't dream of it. But really, thank you for not torturing me with pink or purple.

I chuckled

Of course. Now I am in the store to get you're tie, I'll talk to you after my shift is over if I'm not too tired.

I put my phone back into my bag and browsed through all the ties that were hanging on a rack that moved. What happened to simple colors? I searched for a light blue tie, but most of them were baby blue, which didn't satisfy me the slightest. Finally, I found a light blue one, and took my dress out to make sure it matched.

When finished, I went and looked for the button ups. It wasn't actually east to find a collar that buttoned down in Edward's size medium. Most of them were XL or L, which would fit Edward like a dude nightgown that went to his knee's. Finally I found one and went to check out. The lady looking at me with a goofy smile.

" Shopping for your boyfriend? Guys these days, can't even pick out their own clothes." she said, scanning the tie.

I laughed nervously and took out my debit " Oh, he's not my boyfriend, just a really good friend." I commented, swiping my card as she finished. I typed in my pin and put my card back in my bag.

" Come again!" she said perkily.

-----

Upon arriving at Chicago Dough, Seth was talking with Hayden, and the place wasn't all that busy. When the bells on the door rang as I walked in, they looked towards me.

" Oh, Bella! I called you but you didn't answer! It's really slow today so you don't have to work!"

I groaned " Seriously?"

He nodded.

" Get me a pop." I demanded with a laugh, talking out my phone.

Slow day. Wanna chill around dinner? -B

Sure. -E

He filled up a cup of Coca-Cola and handed it over. I hopped onto the counter, dangling my legs on the other side. Hayden rolled his eyes.

" You are one odd girl. Now get outta here! It's a guys day!"

I glared at Seth " Don't be a jerk. I happen to be kind of guy-ish."

They both looked at me skeptically. I took a big gulp of the soda, and let out the biggest belch I could. I was surprised on how unlady like and out of character it was for me. At the moment, I didn't care, because I could actually be myself around my work place, and talk freely about my feelings...Because they all knew how I felt, I couldn't even tell Rosalie and Alice without them getting pissed.

Hayden laughed " Izzy is cool, Seth."

Seth mumbled something under his breath and shrugged, grabbing a soda himself. I stayed for awhile, talking with them and snacking on the pizza that we weren't exactly allowed to eat. Around three I decided to leave, only to be stopped by Hayden.

" Um...I know your into your friend, or something like that... But would you like to chill tonight. Maybe go bowling or something."

I looked at him skeptically...warily. Did I really want to go out with him, still having feelings for my best friend. Though Hayden is aware of that... It couldn't hurt.

" You know what...That would be great. How about we meet around five thirty?" I suggested.

A big smile lit up his face and he smiled " Alright, see you then."

----

When I got home I went to my closet. I wasn't going to wear some fancy shirt, because we were going bowling. I hoped it was cosmic bowling, that would be fun. I changed out of my clothes and hopped into the shower, letting the hot water cascade over my body.

Once I was all clean, I got out of the shower and swiftly dried myself off. I blew out my hair, straightened it and went to my bedroom to pick out my clothing. After putting on a simple pair of cotton panties and a bra I put on a dark teal colored shirt that said 'Rock' on it, then my darkwash skinny jeans and converse. I put on my knew skinny jeans and they were stressed and worn looking.

I slipped on a hoodie, zipped it up and went to the bathroom where I did my make-up and brushed my teeth. When the clock read five fifteen I scooped my bag up and jogged downstairs. The place was downtown so if I took the highway I would get there in ten minutes. As I grabbed my keys, I was stopped by the sound of footsteps.

" Where are you in a rush to?" the deep voice of my father asked.

I spun around, a nervous smile on my face " Just going out with someone from work."

" You work with all guys. Except Lacey."

I bit my lip " I'm going out with a guy named Hayden, he's their cousin. He asked me to go out bowling and I said I'd meet him there."

" Still got that pepper spray."

I glared at him, opening the front door with a blush on my face " Yes." I said, exasperated with clenched teeth. I locked the door and went to skip down the stairs.

When I saw Edward, I then remembered I had made plans with him...Shit. He was standing in the grass, walking towards me and holding a container which looked like it was filled with lasagna.

Fuck, why does he have to be such a sweetheart and bring me dinner?

Upon seeing that I was leaving, he stopped next to me " Um, are we going somewhere."

" Shit, Edward. I totally forgot. I'm, uh, going bowling with a guy from work."

Now he looked a little miffed " Seth?" he asked.

I shook my head " No, Hayden. He asked me meet him and I said yes. But we can chill afterwards. I want that lasagna."

He frowned " I hadn't ate. I was hoping so with you."

Was it a good thing that I wanted him to be sad that we couldn't spend time together?

" Edward... I'm sorry. Look I'll try and be back before seven. You can eat... Or hell we can just forget about it. I'll just call him and say I can't make it."

" No, Bella. It's fine. I'll just drop this off inside and go home."

As he started towards his door, I called his name. Making him stop on the porch and look back at me over his shoulder.

" I really am sorry."

He nodded once and I slipped into my truck, starting up the engine and speeding towards the highway.

----

" Your shoe laces are glowing." Hayden pointed out.

I nodded, laughing nervously as I took the rental shoes from the man behind the counter. We walked over to a lane, that Hayden insist have bumpers. I was content without them, but he basically forced it.

He was kind of different outside of work. We slipped on our shoes and laced them up. I was going to type my name in first, but then I was rudely interrupted.

" Bella! You have to put my name first."

With a sigh, I typed my name in after his and he took his turn, using a bright orange ball. When I grabbed a black one, he looked at me.

" Black?"

I shrugged " Black is cool."

I took the first swing and got a perfect strike. Hayden scowled at me, seeing the numbers changing on the board. Why was he acting like such a jerk to me? Was it just an act at work or something. At this point I was confused.

----

" YES! Beating you by five points. .Face!" he exclaimed as I dipped a chip in the nacho cheese. I was very irritated by how competitive he was. He just wasn't the kind of guy that I thought he was.

I wasn't interesting in actually dating him, don't get me wrong. But I was under the impression that he was just a sweet guy who wanted to go out. Not some controlling weird guy that insisted to have his name before mine.

I seriously considered just ditching him, but realized that it wasn't the right thing to do. He grabbed a handful of chips roughly, making some fall onto the table.

" Get more." he said, munching more down.

It hadn't even a half hour for gods sake. He was the most ungentlemanly person that I had ever come across in my entire seventeen years. I stood up, slipping my hoodie on and grabbing my bag. He looked at me and pointed to the ball.

" It's your turn." he spit out.

" Look, Hayden. You have always been really nice at work, but outside of work, you are the most disrespectful person that I know. I've had a terrible night, so if you'll excuse me."

" Bella! Wait! You are totally right, I have been acting rude."

" Well, I'm just going to head home.

We walked out together after returning the shoes. He followed me to my car and then surprised me by mauled me against it. Pushing his tongue past my lips and shoving it down my throat. I planted my hands on his shoulders and pushed . He stumbled back.

" What the hell! Your discusting, Hayden."

I got into my car, and he sunk into his car. I looked across the lot the red paint chipped and dents were evident on the passenger door of his beat up Corolla. I revved the engine and headed in the opposide direction as I headed back to my house. It was six ten, and hopefully Edward would be free. He would laugh at this.

When I got home, my father was surprised to see me home. He dropped his arm that was placed around my mothers shoulder. She turned from her spot on the couch and he walked up to me.

" Bad date."

" He mauled me by my car... No respect." I said, trudging up the stairs

They both chuckled behind me and I rolled my eyes. I walked into my bedroom and threw my bag on the floor. I jumped hearing a voice.

" Bad date... I knew it." a familar voice said

There Edward lay on my bed, with the same container from an hour ago laying on his stomach. I plopped down on my bed and slipped my shoes off, rubbing the arch of my foot for a minute before looking at Edward.

" And you knew this how?" I questioned

" Best friends know these things. Here, it's all warm." he told me, taking the cap off and revealing the delicious Italian meal. Edward handed me a silver fork and I leaned against my wrought iron headboard, eating the warm food.

" Want to know what I've been craving." Edward said.

I knew exactly what he was going to say next.

" Fish and chips in West Hampstead, London." we said in usion.

I chuckled " I've been craving that since the last time we spend Christmas there."

He nodded " When we go this year, we have to get some."

I nodded in agreement " Of course."

Once I finished the delicious Lasagna, I handed the container back to Edward.

" Tell Esme I said thanks, and thank you for bringing it over. I didn't feel like fending for myself."

Edward smiled " Anytime... So, where is my tie?"

" Is that all you really wanted? You could of just looked through the bags."

" Didn't know if you had sexy lingerie in them."

I slapped his arm and stood from my bed, grabbing the bags from the floor. I grabbed mine first and smiled at him.

" You have to see my dress before you get your stuff."

Edward rolled his eyes and I took the dress from the bag, holding it infront of me. He looked a little surprised and quirked a brow.

" Pink? Your wearing pink?"

" It's not all pink! And whats wrong with it?"

" Nothing, I bet you'll look beautiful." he commented.

I blushed " Um..Thanks. Here, this is your stuff. And you should start gaining weight. It's alot easier to find L and XL."

" I rather like my body how it is." He fished out the tie and shirt, nodding in approval. When he grabbed for the receipt, I took it from his hands, ripping it up.

" Let me give you money, Isabella."

I shook my head " I've got it taken care of."

He glared, taking out his wallet and shoving a fifty at me. My eyed widdened for a moment and I shoved it back in his direction, still shaking my head. It didn't matter the price, I could do this one thing for him.

" I will hand you a hundred if you keep shaking that head."

" Just take your fucking money back! I've got it taken care of." I yelled, clearly aggrivated.

Now he looked surprised by my little outburst " Bella, you... Was that seriously necessary. I was going to pay you back. Chill out."

I ran a hand through my hair, hanging the dress on a hanger by the clear straps that were inside. His gaze was burning into my back, I could just feel it.

" I'm sorry... It's just not been an ideal day. I didn't get to work, so that's less hours and no money. Then I am treated like shit from a date who wants nacho's and his name first. And then getting mauled at my car by a desperate guy!" I basically complained in a huge whinny voice.

Edward wrapped his arms around me, a little bit of a chuckle escaping him.

" You, Isabella, need to calm down. I know today has been shitty, and he mauled you. Do I need to hurt someone?"

I sighed " No."

He rubbed my back " How about we just chill and watch a few movies. I ha-"

Hello daddy, hello mom. I'm your

ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb.

Hello, world I'm your wild girl. I'm your

ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb.

I was interrupted by Cherie Currie and Joan Jett singing. What an awkward ringtone for me. I broke out of his loose grasp and answered the call with a simple greeting.

" Bella! Hey, we were planning to have a movie night tomorrow! You and I have to go shopping for food tomorrow and I already called Emmett, Rosalie and Tanya, and left a message for Edward. My parents said they would let us have the house and they are going out for most of the night. Everyone is sleeping over, so bring your pajama's, and a pair of nice ones!" she said into the phone in one breath.

" Um, sure, Alice. Just tell me what time you want to get the stuff tomorrow and we can go."

We made plans for me to pick her up at four, and she wanted me to help set up since Tanya and Rose were unwilling to help. I hung up and set my phone on my table.

" Alice wants us to go over to her house tomorrow for a movie night. So we are all being forced to sleep over and endure her movie selection. And I have to help her set up and pick her up and four to get food. And I have a seven to three shift at Chicago Dough."

Edward sent me an apologetic smile and I collapsed on my bed.

" Well, you should get some sleep, and I guess I will see you tomorrow."

I shrugged and nodded my head. A little dissapointed that he wasn't staying. He kissed my temple before opening my bedroom door and shutting it. It was only seven, but I was tired. I shed my clothes whilst under the covers, shoving them to the ground and fell asleep.

----

This morning, I was actually happy to get a call from Kevin telling me that I didn't have to come in. I was a little dissapointed because that meant less of a paycheck, but I was exhausted. I easily fell back asleep under my soft covers. Around eleven, I had Edward rushing into my room, telling me that I was four hours late to work.

I proceeded to shove him out of my room and lock the door. My mother unlocked the door an hour later to force me out of bed.

"Why?" I whined.

" Isabella, you are not five years old! Get up."

I groaned, shifting under the covers. " What did I ever do to you? All I did was love you."

" Nice try, darling. But it's not working."

----

When I actually stood from my bed, I kicked my mother out to get dressed. My eyes wandered out my window, where I saw Edward on his phone. His mouth was moving frantically, and he looked frusterated. Probably another fight with Tanya.

It was only two thirty, so I decided to hop into the shower. I cleaned up quickly, thinking that I could go to Edward's and sneak into my little music room for a round on the piano. I had missed playing, truly. When I finished showering dried, curled and styled my hair. I did my makeup and dressed in my skirt that had the blue fabric on the bottom. I smoothed lotion over my legs and slipped into my white pumps and the blue and white off the shoulder top that Alice had gotten me for my Birthday. The blue matched the fabric on the skirt so it worked.

Since my parents weren't home I didn't have to inform them of my leaving. They already knew I was going over to Alice's tonight. I had already packed my bag with stuff for tonight and it was on my bed. I grabbed my sketch book and left the house.

When I got to the Cullens, Carlisle and Esme also weren't home, I figured they could be doing something together and went upstairs. In Edward's room I could hear the shower running so I skitted to the room and breathed in the musk scent. I was expecting to see a sheet of dust covering the piano, but it was shined and polished.

God bless Esme's heart.

I sat down on the bench, my fingers finding the notes that had ran through my hair, the music tearing through as I silently sang to myself.

EPOV

" Fine, Tanya, whatever. I'll see you tonight." I said, clearly frusterated.

I threw my phone on my bed and pulled at my hair. Another fight about the stupid movie night tonight. It wasn't my fault Alice called and wanted me to go with Bella to pick her up. Now Tanya was all whiny about it and I had to deal. I make one joke, and she snaps and takes it personally.

I loved Tanya, but sometimes I just couldn't deal with her and how she act's. It's just a bit much, but I could handle it for her. I love her, it's as simple as that.

It wasn't enough that Rosalie and her were still pissed that I bowed out on Homecoming. With not another thought I walked into my bathroom, ready to take a shower.

Yesterday I had been sure that Bella's date with that Hayden jackass would go bad. It was obvious, and he didn't deserve her anyways. Bella needed someone who would treat her with respect and that wasn't Hayden. She seemed bummed, but she still talked with me for a little while.

I slipped into the warm water, letting it soak my body. I took a deep breath, breathing in the steam.

Once I had finished showering around three fifteen, I figured that I should go over to Bella's. When I walked out of my bedroom, I could hear the piano loud and clear, a beatiful melody playing. I knew Bella hated people watching her, but I had to peek in.

She sat, her back to me. Her body was almost bent over the keys. Bella's hair tumbled down her back in soft, brunette colored waves, and I could see her foot, adorned in a white high-heel, pressing against the petal.

"I'm holdin' on a rope got me ten feet off the ground.

And I'm hearing what you say, but I just can't make

a sound. Tell me that you need me, then you go

and cut me down. But wait, you tell me that your

sorry, didn't think I'd turn around, and say hey.

It's too late to apologize. It's too late.

I take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for

you. I need you like a heart needs a beat; it's

nothing new."

Her voice broke off, but notes kept going. And she wasn't even reading off a music sheet, this was something from her mind. She was so fucking smart that she didn't need shit like that. She had leather bound books that held music, and they were full of music notes, but she didn't take it here to look at as she played.

The notes I reconized were from One Republic, and she sounded beautiful when she sang it. When she stopped playing I tapped on the door and Bella spun around, surprised to see me.

" What are you doing here?"

I chuckled " This is my house, is it not?"

She cleared her throat and gave a small apology, tucking a stray hair behind her ear. I strode across the room, taking a seat next to her on the bench. I couldn't play for shit, so I wouldn't even try.

" Play me something."

" You know I don't like playing when people watch me." she said quietly.

" You haven't played for me since you were twelve. And that was Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Please."

Her small hands ran over her face before she placed her fingers on the keys, playing an unfamilar melody. Her notes were deep and meaningful, holding alot of potential. She was a little shakey at first, but it left in time.

When she finally stopped she turned to me.

" I'm still working on it."

" It's beautiful, Bella." I said truthfully.

She stood up from the bench, smoothing down her skirt and walked across the room, her heels tapping against the wood floor.

" Are you just going to stay there?"

I glared at her playfully and stood up, following her out of the room.

" I've been working on a sketch."

I was actually surprised. She hadn't sketched or played piano in awhile, and now she was starting up again. I was happy because I knew that she had been working on things, but left them unfinished due to frusteration.

" Remeber how we said we were going to get tattoo's on our eighteenth Birthday." she mentioned, holding up her sketch book.

I hadn't knew she was holding that, but she flipped it open to a page and I saw something that brought a big smile to my face.

" Seriously?"

" I mean, we don't have to get the same ones. But I just kept drawing and drawing.. And we don't have to get this. It's not that good anyways."

On the sketch pad, in pencil and bright colors was the United Kingdom flag, but infront of it was what caught my eye. It was the royal coat of arms; Coat of arms containing shield and crown in centre, flanked by a lion and unicorn. In a banner above which looked to be in a ribbon said ' God save the Queen'; the countries Anthem. All the lines were perfect, not one thing looking different.

" Bella it's amazing." I breathed.

" Really? It needs work bu-"

" It needs nothing. It's perfect."

A smile spread across her face and she closed the book " I'm glad you like it."

" Well you did a great job. Now if we could convince our parents."

She laughed " I doubt it...But you really want to get it tattooed?"

" Only if you do."

" Let's go make some food. I'm starved!"

BPOV

Edward and I dropped by my place to pick up my stuff before going to Alice's. She was waiting by the gate, wearing a pink summer dress with spaghetti straps, pink diamond studded flip flops, and holding a big silver prada handbag. Her hair was flipped out, looking perfect as always, makeup in light pinks.

She hopped in the back of the Volvo.

" Off to the store!"

Edward shifted the gear into drive and sped off down the street towards the store. Alice chatted the whole way, talking about what movies we were watching, and where we were sleeping, what food we were getting, and she even said that she got her hands on a few bottles of Amaretto, and wine coolers. We didn't even ask how.

When arriving at the store we got out and headed in.

" Hey! Chicago Dough sells liters of soda right? Can you get a discount if we get soda there?"

I shrugged " Yeah, I guess so."

" Yay!"

Alice bounced through the aisle's with a little basket in her hands, throwing in BBQ crisps, sour cream cheddar crisps, potato crisps salt and vinegar pringle's, pizza pringle's, pretzels, salsa con queso dip, popcorn (extra butter) and cheez-its.

I followed behind her as she just tossed things in easily, and when finished we checked out and Edward drove over to Chicago Dough. I was a little nervous knowing Hayden was probably there, but there was no way I could avoid him.

We walked into the place and Edward dissapeared somewhere as we grabbed liters from the fridge. We got two regular cokes, sprite, pepsi, cherry coke and . We checked out with Seth and he gave me a fourty percent off employee discount. A pale looking Hayden appeared behind the counter, avoiding my gaze, and Edward walked over to my side, a mysterious grin on his face.

I knew exactly what he did.

I all but ran to the car, fuming. Does he think I can't handle myself.

When he shut the driver side door, I started.

" What the fuck, Edward! Why in the hell did you talk to him. I can handle myself thank you very much!" I yelled.

" I said nothing, Isabella." he said, a sly grin on his face.

"What are we fighting about." chirped Alice.

" Hayden mauled Bella after their little date."

Alice squealed " Finally! A date!"

" You know what Edward, mind your own buisness."

" Your business is mine."

" Go to hell you jackass."

" You'll go right after me Isabella Marie."

" I hate you."

" Well I love you, too."

I slammed the passenger door after getting out, and stomped over to Alice's gate, which opened with a click of a button from Alice's little automatic thing. I walked up the stairs to her huge mansion and waited for her to unlock the door.

She smiled sadly at me and took out her little silver key, with a twist of her wrist the door opened. Alice led us up to the very top floor, where the home theater was. It was a comfortable room with cream couch's, a big television and surround sound. When I looked behind me, I saw Edward carrying everything. Serves him right.

There was a table with a nice cloth laying over it. This was Alice, she would never not put a linen on a bare table. There were glass cups for each person, and big glass bowls for the chips. She made Edward go to her room to grab the pile of blankets, pillows, and go back to the car to grab my stuff.

" So, what really happened on the date?" she asked.

I sighed " He wanted to go bowling, so I agreed and we went. It first started with him getting pissed about me almost putting my name first on the board. Then the demanding of the nacho's... Over all it was terrible and he was a jackass. He was nothing like he is around work. But I told him I was leaving and he mauled me at my car. Basically shoving his tongue down my throat and choking me with it. I just pushed him back and drove away. I told Edward when I got home because he was in my bedroom, giving me some dinner Esme made... But still! He had no business talking to Hayden, it was uncalled for and embarassing. It makes me look like I am not able to handle myself. And I clearly am. But no, he had to get into something that had nothing to do with him, and just make it worse. Not only do I have to deal with the awkwardness, but about the threat that Edward probably made against him, making it about a hundred times worse!" I ranted.

" Well, Edward and you are like really close, right?" she asked. I nodded " He's only looking out for you."

" But, Alice. I don't want my best friend to be doing this to every guy that acts like Hayden. I won't deal with that. I'll never find a guy knowing that Edward is in my shadow when he does something Edward doesn't like."

She nodded " I completely understand that. Oh, and you look cute today. Wearing your black cheekies with lace?"

How in the fuck?

" Alice! Please inside voice!" I heard Edward shout loudly, trudging into the room.

" Oh, don't want to hear what kind of underwear I am wearing? Well deal with it!"

Alice held her hand up for me to hit " Go, Bella!"

I laughed and skipped over to grab my bag. I set it on the couch, ignoring Edward staring at me from beside. Alice grabbed the blankets and pillows and started setting up different beds.

When she set Edward in the middle of both Tanya and I, I wanted to say something. To scream, but I knew that would lead to other questions.

" I'm kinda pissed at Edward, so can I please lay next to Rose?"

She quirked a brow " Rose is going to be next to Emmett, I don't think you want that."

" I'd rather that then Edward and Tanya." I mumbled to myself.

" What?" she asked whistfully.

" Nothing. Nevermind."

She dismissed it and whistled to herself.

" Can you both collect the movies from my bedroom?" she asked.

" I'll do it myself." I said, heading for the door.

" I said BOTH."

Traitor.

Edward opened the door and I walked through, going down a floor to her big pink bedroom. As always her room was in perfect condition and makeup litered all over her vanity. There was probably ten different kinds of mascara, and her closet was bigger then her bedroom, and full of clothes.

The pile of movies was divided in two stacks of ten. The only one that I personally hated was Mean Girls, but Alice picked what she said, there was no going back, and she would make us watch all of them.

" Izzy?"..."Izzy B?"..." Bella?"... " Isabella?"

" WHAT?!"

" I'm sorry. You were right, okay. It was none of my business. But I just have the need to look out for you. What friend would I be if I let a guy maul you, and just not slap him around a bit."

" You hit him!"

" Barely. I just gave him a swift kick where it hurts. But anyways I-"

" Do you realize that I work with the guy?"

He sighed " Okay, I'm sorry."

" Fine. But if you do it again, I will give you a swift kick where it hurts. No kids for you."

I wouldn't kick the place that could make my future little Edward and Bella's.

Something was clearly wrong with me.

He frowned at me.

" Who would want another bat shit crazy kid like you?"

" Good point."

When we were downstairs everything was set and Aliced dragged me upstairs to get in our pajama's. Alice was wearing a pair of purple shorts with pink and red lipstick patterns on it. Her top was bubble gum pink and short sleeved that had her name written in rainbow letters. She had fuzzy slippers on and a sleeping mask ontop of her head, and a fuzzy robe hanging off of her untied.

" Now get dressed they will be here at six!"

I rolled my eyes and went into the bathroom. I had brought a sleep tee from Victoria's Secret. It was dark blue and had short sleeve's. It was supposed to be worn just as a sleep t-shirt because it was longer, but I brought a pair of black shorts. I threw all of it on and threw my hair up in a ponytail.

Alice approved on my clothes once I came out and we made our way downstairs.

Authors Note- This chapter was one of those ' It wrote itself' the bowling thing with Hayden, the sleepover...That just wrote itself. I was going to write part of the charity, but this just came out. So next chapter will continue from here, and then the charity even.

Review if you'd like.
