I spent the entire night trying to come up with a good plan but the only thing I could think to do was tell Edward the truth and pray that he would keep my secret, not likely, so I gave up and went to sleep.

When I woke the next morning no one was home yet so I put on a dress and headed to the only store I knew would have what I was looking for. Since I couldn't tell anyone my secret and I felt like everyone was getting suspicious I decided to pull a Hannah fucking Montana and buy a wig.

When I walked in the woman behind the counter immediately tried to help me and I told her I need a wig that was the same color as my hair and that was all I told her. She immediately showed me to the back of the store and left me to browse. It took a while but I eventually found the perfect wig. It was the same color as my hair but way shorter. It was longer than Edward's barely covering my ears but it was shorter than Jasper's curly hair. The top of the length was straight but it flared out at the ends making it look like someone had been running their fingers through it, Ben's version of sex hair. When I got to the counter the lady raised her eyebrows at me and I told her I got a role in a play being a boy, which she completely bought.

I ran straight home to find it was still empty and I changed into and plain black t-shirt and dark blue jeans. I grabbed my high top chucks and put them on after I pulled my hair up and secured my wig. I stood in the mirror shaking my head, head banging, and bending over to touch my toes before I was satisfied it wouldn't fall off. As I grabbed my keys and Ben's wallet I passed Paul and Jake.

"Ben! What are you doing here?"

I could tell by the look on Paul's face he was really shocked by the wig, he probably he probably thought I really cut my hair. "I was here looking for Bell but she ain't around. Tell her I dropped by will ya?" I didn't wait for a response as I walked out the door. "Hey Jake!" I quickly walked down the driveway and flagged down a cab. I told him where to take me and sat in silence while we rode.

"Hey aren't you that new singer for that big band… Rita's Gift?"

I gave a quick nodded but didn't say anything. When we stopped outside of the real estate agency I paid the man and quickly signed a napkin for his son who conveniently had the same name as him. As soon as I walked in the door every eye was on me and most of them were women. I scanned the entire room and found the one guy who worked there and went straight to him.

"Hi my name is Stephen, how may I… holy shit your Ben Swan from Rita's Gift."

I laughed and stuck my hand out to shake his, "Yeah that's me. I was hoping you could help me find a place today." He nodded and offered me a seat across from him which I immediately took. I had looked in my bank account last night and nearly died when I saw how much money I had actually made since joining the band and let's just say I could afford to buy almost any house I would want. I decided that not only for Ben but for Bella, Paul, and Alice I needed to do this. I told Stephen that I wanted a home with a good security gate, 6 bedrooms, and at least 4 baths. Once I gave him the amount I didn't want to go over he had a list of places and we left to go look at them.

We must have looked at nearly twenty places when I told him I couldn't look anymore. He nodded his head and started to head back to the office. We were about ten minutes from my current residence when I saw the house I had always dreamed of owning and it was by some miracle for sale. "Stop." He slammed on his brakes almost causing the man behind us to hit the rear end of the car. "Can we look at this one?" He looked at the address and pulled his phone before answering me, "It's above the limit you gave me but we can stop and look if you would like." I nodded and he pulled into the driveway.

Once the door was unlocked I thought I was in heaven. The house was an old red brick Victorian style. The front door and shutters were a deep forest green which went perfectly with the red in the brick. The front porch covered the entire length of the house. It was two stories, not including the attic, and when you first walked in the house you either went up the grand staircase or down a hallway on either side. After I explored the bottom floor I found that the left led to the dinning room, kitchen, and a sitting area in the back were the right hallway also ended, it also had a bathroom and living room off of it.

The back sitting area had big glass windows letting the natural light in, there was a huge fireplace on the inner wall, and there was a spiral staircase that led to the second level. This room is the height of both floors but the top half has a walkway all the way around the room with shelves in the walls to work as a library. I walked up there and the door next to chimney led me to the upstairs hallway. There were two bedrooms and with a bathroom connected to the larger of the two down this little hall. At the end was the staircase but on either side were two more halls. To the left was the master bed and bath which had clearly been modified because there was a whirlpool tub and a separate shower in there. The room has a balcony that led out to the front of the house with double doors.

After I dragged myself away from that room and went to look at the other hall. There were two more bedrooms which both shared the bathroom at the end of the hall. Stephen was on the phone when I got downstairs so I looked out at the yard, which wasn't too big but there was a good distance between the house and the very large fence that would keep those pesky people away.

"So what do you think?"

I put my sunglasses on and looked back up at the house which I knew I was going to be getting. "How much over my limit is it?" He looked down at the papers in front of him, "Fifteen thousand." I sighed although that wasn't over my real limit it was still a lot of money for a house, but it was worth it. "Will they not budge under any circumstances?" He looked at his paperwork again. "She has been offered less and has never taken it before but I can try. What would you like me to tell her?" I carefully ran my hand through my wig the same way I have seen Edward do so many times before. "Tell her the price I am willing to pay but make sure you tell her it will be paid in cash."

His eyes grew so big I was afraid his eyes would pop out. He held up a finger at me before walking back inside with his phone attached to his head. My phone began ringing so I answered it. "Hey Ben, we are all wondering where you are at? Jake and Paul told everyone you got your hair cut and I just have to see this." I leaned against a tree watching Stephen pace inside the house. "Alice, I am busy right now but you will see my hair cut later." I had to pull the phone away from my ear when she started laughing, "Oh my god you actually cut it. I thought it would take someone threatening to kill you before you would cut your hair!" Stephen started walking back towards me with a huge smile on his face so I said a rude goodbye to Alice and waited to hear what the lady had said.

"So?"

"She's willing to meet us at the office to sign the paperwork tomorrow."

On our way back to the agency we made plans for me to come in tomorrow and finish everything. We would have gone over the details then but it was already late and Alice kept calling me every five minutes. I said a quick goodbye to Stephen before I got in a cab and went home.

When I got there I wasn't surprised to see everyone waiting for me, including Edward who had a leggy blonde on his arm. Of course that stung a little but I did tell him I was nothing to him. "Holly shit! Ben what possessed you to cut all of you hair off. Do you realize how many women liked the long hair on you? Damn it!" I wanted to laugh at Rose who was freaking out over the hair cut so I did. "Rose at the time I didn't care what any woman but the one sucking my cock thought about my hair, and she liked it short." All the guys nodded and smiled at me until Rose smacked Emmett, who was laughing, on the back of the head. "Well I hope she was worth it because now I have a lot of shit to do." I just nodded my head and licked my lips, "She was definitely worth it." She scowled at, "You better have wrapped it up. I don't need to worry about your off spring as well as Edwards." Since this wasn't news to me I just shrugged not saying anything.

"Alice, have you heard from Bell today? I came over earlier and she wasn't here and now she won't answer my calls." She shook her head at me, "No, she has been M.I.A. all day long." I pretended to worry, "Weird, maybe she's with Vic." Alice just nodded. "Oh well I'm not gonna wait for her, come on I want to show you and Paul something."

Of course having them come with me caused everyone else to follow and then bitch because of the long walk. "Ben I love you but when are we getting there?" I looked over my shoulder, "Paul, don't tell me you love me yet, and we are here." They all stopped and looked around like idiots. "What are we looking at?" I grabbed Alice's shoulders and turned her towards the house. "That my darling Alice." She gasped and slowly turned her head to look at me, "You bought it?"

I shrugged, "Not technically, yet, but I get the keys tomorrow. Think she will like it?" she started bouncing up and down and squealing, "Who cares if she likes it I love it!" I wrapped my arm around her neck and gave her a noggie, "Good because you are all moving in with me." Paul gasped and before I knew it he was in front of me placing kissed all over my face. "Hey!" He stopped kissing my cheeks and pointed him to Jake, "Go kiss him." I immediately regretted that because they made out right there in front of everyone.

As we headed back to the house the girls talked about the potential of the house while Edward talked to me, "So what made you buy the house for everyone to live in?" "Bella told me that she loved that house and when I saw it for sale I couldn't help it. Besides what good would it do me to buy a place of my own? When we go on tour she would always be there taking care of the place anyways. It just makes more sense."

We had just made it back to the house and Emmett was trying to get Rose to leave they were almost to the car when she turned around. "Hey I wanted to ask you even though your sister shot it down. Would you be willing to do a duet with her on the next album?" I took a deep breath and tried to relax but at that same moment I saw Edward pinning his date, Lauren, against his car. "No!" I'm not sure if I was growling at Edward or Rose but only Rose responded. "What the fuck is wrong with you two? It was just a fucking question." Before I could apologize she was in the car and everyone was leaving.

I stomped in the house and as soon as the door was closed I pulled the wig off. "You know you weren't yelling at Rose right?" I let my real hair down and kept my eyes on the ground, "Shut up Alice." I sulked off towards my room not even caring that I hadn't eaten since Stephen and I stopped at McDonalds earlier.

I hope you liked it.

The contest mentioned in chapter 8 is still open I only had one person respond and they got it wrong so please feel free to continue guessing. The first person to tell me what line is most used in movies will be allowed to pick a previous chapter to have me write it in Edward's point of view. The only clue you get it that I used it in chapter 8.

Please review!
