Isabella's POV

Don't let her see me. Don't let her see me. Don't let her see me. I chanted to myself. I look down at the purple drink in my hand. Of all the clubs in the city she had to be at this one. How the hell did she even get in?

"Drink up Bella!" Alice says tipping the bottom of my glass with hers. I look at her then at my drink. I glance back over at the bar and see Victoria staring right at me. Shit. Bottoms up! I turn up my glass and drink the whole thing letting the burn of the alcohol sooth my nerves slightly.

"Damn girl. Have you drank much before?" Alice asked giggling taking another sip of her drink.

I shook my head. Victoria was grinning at me while leaning over whispering in James' ear. Alice followed my line of vision. She gave Victoria a once over then turned back to me.

"Do you know the girl James is with?"

"Unfortunately. Her name is Victoria Middleton, and she graduated last year. I hung out with a girl named Lauren, who used to sleep with one of James' friends. We went to a few parties together, but I was always really uncomfortable around James. He was always staring or trying to flirt. Anyway, Victoria found out and went crazy jealous telling everyone that I was a slut and a man stealer. There was no reasoning with her crazy ass, and I just don't want to deal with her anymore." I explained to Alice.

"Don't even worry about that bitch. Aro will take care of us. Beside James can't say shit to Aro." Alice said pulling my arm as she started walking. We made our way through the crowd and walked up the stairs to a private room with deep burgundy walls and black leather couches. She motioned for me to sit as she walked over to the bartender in the corner.

"Hello Garrett. Could you whip up another Deep Dream for my friend Isabella here?" Alice flirted with the guy batting her eyelashes.

"Yes Ms. Luciano but, your brother has given you two a limit." He replied flashing her a huge smile. He began to mix and shake liquids in a stainless steel bottle before pouring the concoction into two fresh martini glasses.

"He's no fun. Gosh. I'm a big girl, and I know when I'm good." Alice complained finishing her first drink.

"I'm just watching out for you besides I don't want to deal with Ma if you're hung over." Aro said walking into the room followed by yummy Edward and another huge man. What are they feeding these boys? Seriously? The guy was tall like 6'6 or something and had more muscles than a body builder. He had dark curly hair and big chocolate puppy dog eyes. Aside from his huge stature, his dimples made him seem warm and friendly. Like he was a big teddy bear.

"Garrett, Patron shots please." Aro instructed before turning back to me. "Isabella, you know Edward, this is his older brother Emmett. Emmett, this beautiful young lady is Isabella, Mary Alice's new friend." He made introductions before handing shots to each of us.

"A toast to good drinks and great friends!" Aro says before they all slammed their shots. I threw mine back like I had watched them do. It burned much more than the mixed drinks. Truth was I had never had a straight shot before and I'm sure my face gave it away before I had cold chill.

"Good job Bella!" Emmett roared before laughing. He had contagious laughter. I laughed to as everyone else joined us.

"We'll make a tough girl out of her yet Alice." Aro said.

"I never had any doubt brother. Now us girls are going to dance. I'm sure Esme and Rose are wondering where we are." Alice said waving me to follow her. I didn't really want to go back out there and run into Victoria or James but two cocktails and the shot had me relaxed.

We made our way down the stairs and found the girls already on the dance floor drinks in hand. Esme had on a cute little caramel colored dress the same color as her skin. As short as it was she somehow still made it look classy. Rosalie on the other hand had on a painted on black leather strapless mini and spiked stilettos that tied up her calves. My self-esteem just took a hit from an assault rifle.

We danced around for a while laughing and having a good time. Sometime during the hour we were on the floor Alice had passed me another shot. I was feeling tingles all over and spinning while holding hands with Esme. She was so much more welcoming towards me than Rosalie. Alice grabbed Esme to go to the bathroom with her, and I chose to stay on the floor. I probably looked terrible but I was having fun, which was something I desperately needed.

"If it isn't the slut that tried to steal my man." A nasally voice said behind me. I turned around coming face to face with Victoria. I knew this night was going too well. I glance around to find that I'm alone on the dance floor. I had no idea where Rosalie had gone. Not that I thought she would back me up anyways but a girl can hope right?

"Hello Victoria. How are you? I didn't try to steal your man." I said trying not to slur my words.

"I should teach you a lesson about lying little girl." Victoria seethed at me.

"I could say the same cow." I fired back. Alcohol made me brave. Big mistake.

Victoria raised her fist and pulled back to swing. I shut my eyes tight and braced for the impact wishing I were anywhere but here. I waited and when no fist connected with my face and I peeked. Edward was standing there with Victoria's wrist in his hand giving James the stink eye. Victoria looked caught off guard and had also turned around searching for James.

"I would never hit a lady, but I'm still debating if you fit into the category. Isabella is with our crowd. That makes her untouchable. If I so much as see you look at her cross-eyed I will call Rose and Jane. Is that understood?" Edward said to her leaning over looking directly in her face.

"I d-didn't know..." Victoria whimpered as James walked up.

"Is there a problem?" James asked eyeing me up and down. He grinned at me. Gross. James was the kind of guy that made my skin crawl. Something about him was off.

"Your girl is mouthing off to a member of our group. I expect you to correct this James and see that it doesn't happen again." Edward said stepping closer to the creeper. He leaned in very close and whispered something that only he could hear.

James face paled slightly and he nodded his head vigorously. He looked down at the floor and and neither he nor Victoria made eye contact with me again. I didn't know what Edward said but I was very curious now as I watched James and Victoria disappear into the crowded dance floor.

"They shouldn't have left you out here on your own." Edward said placing his hand on the small of my back and leading me to the private room.

"Alice and Esme had to use the ladies room and I don't know where Rosalie went." I told him attempting to defend my friends. I was a big girl. I didn't have to have someone hold my hand for everything.

Edward said no more, just cut his eyes over at me for a moment before staring straight ahead again. I was thankful he was there but I wasn't going to tell him that. When we got back to the private room Rosalie was sitting on a couch texting away. Alice and Esme were giggling in the bathroom. Emmett, Aro, and Jacob were talking about some football game. When the hell did Jacob get here?

I need another drink!

"No you don't." Edward answered.

Oops. I said that out loud.

"Just one more. No more after that." I asked doing what I thought was a sexy face.

The corners of his lips turned up just the slightest then were back to normal. Edward was very quiet and serious for his siblings to be so happy and smiling all the time.

"One. Then I'll drive you home."

"Okay." I cooed.

Alice came and sat next to me while Esme sat by Rosalie. Edward passed out four shots to us girls then told the big guy, what was his name again, no more for us. We were officially cut off but I was ok with it.

"To my bitches!" Alice yelled clinking our glasses together. I fell into a fit of laughter. That was the funniest thing at the moment. We were laughing at nothing really but the alcohol made everything funny.

"Let's get these ladies home." Emmett said wrangling Rosalie who was leaning a bit too far over the railing. I can tell you she wasn't wearing any panties that night.

We all grabbed our bags and coats and followed Emmett and Edward out of the club. When we get to the parking lot we walked up to a massive red Hummer. How the hell was I suppose to climb into that thing?

Emmett tossed Edward the keys then opened the backdoor lifting a squirming Rosalie into the backseat. He climbed in behind her and helped Esme in. Edward opened the passenger door motioning for Alice and I to climb up. Alice climbed up in that thing like she was a professional rock climber. I on the other hand took a wobbly step forward and grab the door. I pushed myself upward and starting coming right back down when I felt two strong hands on my waist lifting me up.

I look over my shoulder to see Edward grinning at me. Damn him with that sexy smile. He waited for me to get situated before he shut the door and walked around the Hummer. He got in, started the vehicle, cranked the stereo, and peeled out of there.

Alice and I are giggling and dancing in the front seat when we pull up in front of the house. Esme is dozing in the backseat and Rosalie is staring at Emmett with googly eyes. I think she has a crush. How cute. Edward walks around and opens the door. After helping Alice and I out of the massive vehicle he walked us to the door.

"Alice, Aro probably won't be home tonight. If you need anything call Em or me." Edward told Alice before turning back towards me. "If you need anything Isabella..."

He gave us a quick smile and was walking back towards the truck. He looked just as good from the back as he did the front. I must have been staring for a while because I felt Alice tugging on my arm.

"Sorry. I think I'm a little drunk." I giggled.

"I think you're a little crushing. Don't blame you. He is yummy. If I didn't have my eye on someone else I would be on that." Alice said laughing at me.

I followed her up the stairs and we changed for bed. Her bed was so comfortable. I didn't want to go back home. It didn't take long for me to doze off but before I did thoughts of dancing and copper hair filled my head.

I woke up with a pounding head. The bed was empty, and I could hear the shower running. I look over at the clock. 7:15 a.m. Way too early for a Saturday morning. Especially when I drank more than I ever had before. I looked again and noticed a bottle of water and two aspirin next to the clock. Yay for Alice.

I popped the pills in my mouth and swallowed half the bottle of water as Alice came bouncing in the room wrapped in a green silk robe.

"Good morning sunshine!"

"You are way too peppy in the morning."

"Nonsense. It's a beautiful day. Time is wasting get up sleepyhead."

I rolled my eyes and sat up rubbing my temples. I grabbed my bag and headed to the bathroom. I jumped in the shower and let the hot water run over my muscles relaxing away any stiffness. I got out and dried off quickly, throwing on a pair of blue jeans and a white long sleeve tee. I piled my hair loosely on my head and applied some lip gloss. I didn't wear a lot of makeup but running around with these girls I had to look good.

"Good you're ready. We have to go." Alice said picking up her purse and heading for the door. I followed behind her and we got into the yellow banana. I don't care how expensive it was, it looked like a big ass banana to me.

"We're headed to the Cullen's to meet Esme and Rosalie." Alice said playing with the radio dials and weaving through traffic. She was going to kill me with her driving.

"Will there be food?" I asked as my stomach grumbled.

"Of course, we'll order in or something. Rosalie is crushing hard on Emmett and he turns her down all the time because she is only 17. She'll be 18 in a month, and she thinks it will make a difference. I think she came onto him pretty strong last night and her ego is bruised. Rose is used to men dropping at her feet so this is a whole new ballgame for her." Alice informed me.

When we got to the Cullen's monstrosity of a house Esme greeted us at the door with orange juice. I quickly chugged mine finally making the dehydrated feeling go away. I followed them through the house to a big game room filled with huge couches, an enormous flat screen, and a pool table. Rosalie was laid out on the couch in hot pink juicy sweats with a wet washcloth over her eyes.

"How are you feeling?" Alice asked plopping down next to her.

"Rough. I drank more when we got back here. I feel like such an ass. I should have known better than coming on to Emmett. He has women falling all over him all the time. What would he want with a high school chick?"

"At least you're almost out of high school." Esme cooed to her. "I think it would be great to have you as a sister."

"Yea Rose, and Emmett isn't that much older. 21 is nothing really. You'll be 18 soon then it probably won't be a big deal." Alice told her rubbing her back.

"You think it isn't a big deal because Carlisle is 26." Rose retorted.

"Yes but he is a doctor. Officially." Alice beamed.

"Who's Carlisle?" I asked looking around at each one of them confused.

Esme giggled. Rosalie groaned. Alice gave me a small speech while lighting up like the fourth of july.

"Carlisle Volturi is the son of a friend of our fathers'. He just graduated medical school. The first one to have a job outside of the family business. He has the most amazing blue eyes and blonde locks. His mother, God rest her soul, wasn't Italian and he has the most gorgeous mix between his parents. He is handsome and smart, and I'm in love with him. I'm going to marry him one day. He just doesn't know it yet."

I laughed.

Alice gave me the stink eye.

I laughed harder.

Alice pushed me off the ottoman.

I stopped laughing.

On the outside.

"Alice, you're 16. How can you even think about marriage? Isn't it a little too soon?" I asked her.

Esme and Rosalie remained silent.

"Bella, in our world it's never too early to think about marriage. I need a man that can measure up to my father. I know that with Carlisle I would always be taken care of."

"In your world? Like 1953?" I joked.

"Um, in our Italian culture." Rosalie cut in.

"Um ok..."

"Hello ladies!" Emmett booming voice carried through the door before he did.

"Morning Em." Alice and Esme chimed in. I nodded and smiled. Rosalie groaned and covered her face with a pillow.

"Posso avere un momento con Rosalie?" (May I have a moment with Rosalie?) Emmett asked clearing his throat.

"Certamente." (Certainly) Alice answered motioning for Esme and I to follow her.

Rosalie's POV

I listen to the girls walk down the hallway. I was still laying on the couch with the washcloth over my face. I didn't even want to look him in the eyes. I was mortified.

"Rosalie."

Silence.

"Rosalie."

Silence.

I wasn't ready to speak to him yet.

"Rose, per favore." (please)

I slowly lowered the washcloth.

I looked up into his eyes. He didn't look upset. He didn't look at me with pity.

"About last night, I'm really sorry. It was the alcohol and I don't know what I -" he cut me off with his lips. On mine. Oh my God.

He moved his lips tenderly against mine while he put his hand on my neck and pulled me closer to him. I melted into his chest and kissed him with everything I had. I had wanted for so long to kiss him and now I was. It was better than anything I had imagined.

He gently pulled back and kissed my forehead before leaning back on the ottoman.

"Rose, I-" He started then rubbed the back of his neck before looking up again.

"Rose, I love you."

I was in shock.

"I've loved you for a long time Rosalie. You're almost 18, and I'm tired of fighting it. I want you. I want you bad."

He looked at me waiting. I was screaming in my head, but I was still sitting there in shock thinking I was dreaming.

Finally I was able to speak.

"Emmett. I love you, too."

I hugged him tight. Squeezing him as hard as I could.

"I need to speak to your father. Get his permission. We'll go from there." Emmett told me rubbing small circles on my back.

I knew I had a huge grin on my face. I was finally getting what I wanted. There was no way my father would disapprove of Emmett. He came from a great family. Our lives would always be intertwined even if we weren't together because of the kind of families we had.

Alice's POV

I smiled to myself as I heard Emmett declare his love for Rosalie. It was about time is all I had to say. She loved him with a strength to rival my own love for Carlisle. We had been seeing each other since my sixteenth birthday in secret. I couldn't get enough of him. He consumed my every thought. I wanted to tell the girls so bad so I had someone to talk to about it but Carlisle said to wait until I was of legal age.

I would sneak away tonight to see him. I hated not being able to openly talk to him.

"Ok girls, let's go shopping." I said snapping out of my thoughts.

After a few hours of shopping and lunch we had new outfits to wear out tonight and a dress appropriate for Isabella to wear to mass in the morning. I couldn't wait for tonight. Rose was beaming all day after Emmett professed his love her. Bella was in and out of daydreamland no doubt thinking of Edward. Now we just have to find someone for Esme. She had plenty of guys after her but our fathers were very picky. You have to be in our lifestyle.

"Esme, we need to find you a man." I blurted out as we strolled down the sidewalk.

"I'm fine thank you, Mary Alice." Esme said.

"There are tons of guys drooling over you. You have to like one of them."

"Yea, you've never had a boyfriend." Rose chimed in.

"Nobody has caught my eye yet."

"What about you Bella, had any serious boyfriends?" I asked nudging her with my elbow.

"Nothing serious. I've been on a few dates. It's probably because I never put out."

"You're a virgin?" Rosalie choked on her coke.

"Yes. Is that a bad thing?"

"No, just rare." I laughed.

"Esme is a virgin, too. Don't feel bad." Rose chimed in.

"At least we're not sluts." Esme countered smiling sweetly.

We all went back to my house to get ready. We were going to Twilight again. Emmett had gone to speak to Rosalie's father, who gave his blessing, but threatened Em's balls if anything happen to his princess. I put Bella in another sexy little number trying to bring out her feminine side. She refused the heels this time. I'll win before it's over.

I myself had on a hot pink ruffled skirt and simple black tank that I paired with 7" stilettos. Carlisle wouldn't be able to resist tonight. I was tired of oral. I wanted something more. I mean, come on I wasn't a virgin. Don't get me wrong, Carlisle always took care of me. His tongue was magic and I know he loved all the blowjobs. Now it was time to take it to the next level.

I did a once over in the full length mirror then picked up my bag and walked downstairs to join the others.

"About damn time." Rose said sipping on a glass of wine. My parents were gone for the night so we would be staying at the Em's place in the city tonight.

"Quit your bitching. Let's go." I said leading the way out the door. Edward had come to pick us up so I made sure Isabella had shotgun. I think they look cute together. She wasn't brought up like us, but I'll groom her into what she needs to be. She and Esme get along great also which is a plus. Esme may be all sweet and innocent but she can be viscous when it comes to her brothers.

A thirty minute ride with lots of small talk and sips out of the wine bottle we arrive at the club. Emmett greets us and opens the door. Rosalie climbs out last and Emmett wraps her in a big bear hug and starts kissing her on the sidewalk.

Those two will need to get a room soon. I thought to myself smiling.

We all head through the crowd up to our private room. Carlisle's father owned this place so we always had a room available to us.

As I walk into the room I spot Carlisle right away looking sexy as hell in black dress slacks and a bright blue button up the same color as his eyes. God he makes me wet. I wink at him and have a seat next to the bar. Isabella sits on the other end of the couch while Rosalie sits down in Emmett's lap. Esme makes her way over and sits next to Aro. Some of the other guys we know are scattered around so the only open seat for Edward is next to Bella. Esme gives me a knowing nod then leans over to talk about something with Aro.

Edward walks over to the bar, shakes hands with Carlisle, and orders two shots.

Isabella is watching him intently with a small grin on her face.

He walks back over and hands one shot to her and holds the other up.

"Per una bella donna." (To a beautiful woman.)

I'm pretty sure the only word she caught was beautiful but it was enough to make her blush. They really were so cute together. Edward would die if he knew I used the word cute in the same sentence as his name.

They downed their shots and Jacob pulled Edward into a conversation about the football game next weekend. Jacob wasn't an original in our group but he was a star football player and he knew alot of kids in his old neighborhood that bought what my brother and the Cullens were selling. These boys may be young in age but they are men at heart.

They are already responsible for all the drug sells and dealings. Soon we are going to have to tell Bella what's up but not until we know for sure she is going to hang around.

I glance over and catch Carlisle's eye and I nod my head slightly telling him I'm headed out to dance.

Isabella is talking football with the guys. Rose and Emmett are sucking face hard in the corner. Esme is engrossed in whatever my brother is saying. I take this as my cue and quietly get up and make my way out of the room. I glance down the hall and don't see anyone so I climb the two flights of stairs to the floor with Carlisle's office.

I try the knob but it's locked.

I sigh and turn around to lean against the door when I come face to face with the most handsome man.

"Hello doll." He greets me with a smile. He leans in and is only inches from my face.

I close my eyes and breath in his cologne.

He runs his nose down my throat as I hear him locking the door. I stumbled backwards and his arm is quickly wrapped around my waist lifting me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist and start nibbling on his adam's apple.

"Oh how I missed you Ally." He groans.

He runs his hands under my ass and squeezes.

"I'm missed you Carli baby." I tell him before continuing my kisses down his neck.

"I'm tired of hiding this." I wave between us. "You're made. My father would never say anything."

"Mary Alice. We're a decade apart and you're still in high school. You know you're mine, but we have to wait before we go public."

"I know. I don't have to like it though." I told him peeking under my lashes at him.

He ran his hands up and down my thighs while kissing my passionately getting a little closer to the goods every time. He gently grazed his thumb over my clit eliciting a moan from me. He drove my body crazy. Just when I had had enough he hooked his fingers in my panties and pulled them off.

He began kissing my ankles.

"I love these shoes Alice."

Kiss.

"You know they drive me crazy."

Kiss.

"Running around in those short little skirts makes me want to take you in front of everyone."

Kiss.

"Your hot little ass is-"

KNOCK KNOCK!

"We have a problem. We need you." my brother's voice says from the other side of the door.

"Damn it." Carlisle whispers before kissing my forehead.

"Stay here love and I'll be back. There is some Patron in the desk." he whispers in my ear before kissing me softly.

I nodded into his chest as I wrapped my arms around him.

"I'll be out in a minute." he yells towards the door.

One last kiss on my cheek and he is shutting the light off before shutting and locking the door.

I wait three minutes then turn the lamp next to the couch on and pour myself a shot.

This night is going great. I thought to myself pouring another shot.

I sat there in Carlisle's desk chair thinking about our future. I couldn't wait to plan a wedding, buy a house, and make beautiful babies. I was sick of high school. I knew the life that lay ahead of me. I didn't see why I had to spend all day at school.

Edward and Aro were still seniors but they were hardly ever at school. Our fathers made sure that nothing was ever said but still it was unfair. I wanted nothing more than to be Carlisle's wife. I wasn't even interested in college. All I needed was a Mrs. degree.

Buzz Buzz

I picked up my phone and opened the message.

I've got to take care of some things love. Go back to the party and maybe we can catch up later. ~C

Great. Oh well. I know this is what happens in his line of work.

I poured another shot and slammed it.

I picked my phone back up.

I understand baby. Text or call whenever is good. I'll be thinking about you. xoxo

I tossed my phone on the desk and poured one more shot. I needed to be drunk to tolerate tonight. I hate when things don't go my way. You would think I would be used to it.
