Bella:

Alice and I are currently driving towards Emmett and Rosalie's flat in Seattle. It's the day after Edward's party, and Rosalie insisted we have a sleepover at her place. All the way in Seattle.

"Remind me again why we agreed to this?" Alice sighs, banging her head against the windows.

"Because we love the doofus called Emmett, who has one helluva dimpled smile," I respond, focussing on the drive.

We've decided to stop over in Port Angeles to grab some lunch and do some shopping before continuing our long journey. Rosalie set out earlier today, and Emmett's staying at the Cullen house to have a 'boy's night' with Cowboy and Edward.

"I miss Jazz," Alice pouts, her hands rubbing her stomach.

"I miss Edward, but, come on, we need to stop whining and prepare ourselves for tonight!" I chuckle, apprehension over tonight taking over. I still wouldn't consider Rosalie a particularly close friend, so I'm very glad Alice is here with me.

"Right," Alice nods, though she still brings out her phone. Presumably to text Cowboy.

The drive to Port Angeles passes fairly quickly, both Alice and I singing at the top of our voices along to the radio. By the time we park outside a restaurant, we're both exhausted. We've had fun, though, and that's all that counts.

We grab a very unhealthy yet tasty burger and chips, before hitting the shops. We buy matching pyjama sets – tank tops and shorts – along with fluffy slippers. You can't beat fluffy slippers.

Also, we buy some chocolates for Rosalie. As a thank you, for giving us a second chance and letting us stay over.

When we start off driving again, Alice drives for a bit. I text Edward a couple of times, just checking how he is. Sue me, I miss him.

I'm fine, honey. Honestly. Though Emmett has promised to question me about you later! ~Edward xxx

I laugh as I read the text, not feeling sorry for him at all.

Awww, poor baby ;) I miss you, can't wait to see you again. I'm gonna have to go now, do some more driving, love you ~Bella xxxxxx

Alice pulls over so we can switch seats. Secretly, I think it's just because she wants to text Cowboy.

*******LLB*******

We get a little bit lost in Seattle trying to find Rosalie and Emmett's apartment, but we eventually find it. Using the satnav on Alice's phone.

Thank god for smartphones, is all I'm saying.

Knocking on the door and clutching our bags, we take one last nervous glance at each other. Maybe Rosalie will surprise us, but she did openly call us dorks.

"Hey! Come in, just put your bags in the living room, and make yourselves at home!" Rosalie smiles, hugging us both as we walk inside.

We do as instructed, both sitting on the sofa as Rosalie runs off to get us some drinks. Despite my closeness to Emmett, I've never actually been in the apartment before. It feels really homey, with pictures of both their families on the walls and random items scattered around. It's not messy, it just feels lived in.

"Here. I made smoothies," Rosalie tells us, handing each of us a pink, thick drink.

We both accept them, and take a sip from them. It's actually really nice. I can taste strawberries, cherries, raspberries and banana, I think.

"What's in it?" I ask; to try and make conversation.

"Strawberries, banana, cherries, raspberries and a peach," Rosalie tells me. "Oh, and, of course milk, but I used natural yoghurt instead of cream for a healthier option," Rosalie adds.

"It's really nice," Alice comments, already having drunk half of hers.

"They say pregnant women should eat and drink as much fruit and veg as possible. I thought it would be a good idea to make," Rosalie nods, smiling timidly. "You know, this is the first sleepover I've ever had or been to," Rosalie admits.

"Really? How come?" Alice asks, already looking upset at the thought of that.

"My parents were pretty strict, and my 'friends' weren't really that close to me. Out of school, I never really saw them," Rosalie nods, looking down to hide the fact her eyes are filling with tears.

I think I'm beginning to understand Rosalie more, now. She was only friends with those people because, maybe, she wanted to feel accepted. But they were never really her friends. They were never as close as Alice and I are.

Even so, this doesn't excuse all of her bitchy behaviour. It helps me realise why she was like that, and I think Alice is realising this too.

"How about we all give each other a makeover?" Alice suggests, grinning widely. She loves makeovers.

Soon enough, all kinds of make-up products have been laid out on the coffee table, with us three sitting around it. I see eyeliner, mascara, lipstick, blusher, nail varnish, and the rest – I have no idea what those things are.

Alice does Rose's make-up, both of them do mine, and Alice tries to teach me about how to correctly apply make-up. That lesson doesn't go too well.

Overall, the evening has been surprisingly fun. Talking to Rosalie – when she's being herself – is actually quite fun. Getting to know her shows that she can actually be quite nice.

When she wants to be.

"How are things with you and Edward going?" Rosalie asks me.

"Good, really good. I've never been happier," I smile just at the thought of Edward.

"I just realised you're both dating my brothers!" Alice announces suddenly.

"At least neither of us is pregnant," I joke to Alice.

"Shut up," Alice tries to act angry, but I can see her smiling. I laugh, as does Rosalie.

"We should watch a film!" Rosalie announces, walking over to a cabinet where I presume the films are. "Chick flick? No. Comedy?"

"I could go with a comedy," Alice nods. I nod in agreement.

Rosalie puts on Hot Fuzz, which we all laugh at. We watch four films before we start to get tired, so Rosalie gets some put-up beds and covers that we can sleep on.

Alice gets the sofa – since it's the comfiest and she's pregnant – while Rosalie and I choose between an air bed and a spring bed. It's a pretty tough decision.

In the end, I go for the air bed. It's actually pretty comfy.

*******LLB********

I wake up to the smell of bacon and pancakes filling the apartment. Oh, and the sound of my stomach grumbling loudly.

"Damn, Bella, didn't you eat before bed?" Alice whines sleepily.

I did actually eat. Quite a bit. But my stomach seems to be a bottomless pit.

"You know my stomach's a black hole," I reply, stretching as I wake up.

I sit up from the air bed, noticing how it's deflated slightly over night.

I swear Emmett now knows more about my life than I do! I didn't get to sleep until 5 because of his questions! ~Edward xxxx

I laugh as I read the text. Since it's 9 in the morning, he'll only have had four hours sleep.

What did he ask about? ~Bella xxxx

As I wait for his reply, I wonder over to the kitchen to see if I can help with breakfast in any way. Rosalie asks if I can set the table, so I do just that.

It's easier to say what he didn't ask about! He even asked if I was a virgin! ~Edward xxxx

I know I shouldn't, but I laugh at the text. Just a little.

How did you reply to that? :P ~Bella xxxx

Alice returns from the bathroom just as Rosalie serves breakfast. She's made a feast, the table now filled with pancakes, toast, bacon, and a wide variety of juices.

All I said was that you were my first kiss :) ~Edward xxxx

The grin on my face probably looks ridiculous, but I don't care. Rosalie and Alice both give me puzzled looks, but I just shrug them off. I'm too happy to care.

I have the sweetest boyfriend. Ever.

"Do you reckon you'll be with Emmett forever?" Alice asks Rosalie out of the blue. "Because I know I'll be with Jazz forever," Alice sighs dreamily.

"Yes, I think we will be together forever. I can picture getting married and having children with him," Rosalie says, sounding certain.

I get to thinking about Edward, and whether we'll be with each other forever. Yes. I love him, so much, I've never felt this way for anyone else.
