Esme kept looking at me while she put about 4 pancakes onto my plate. I just couldn't get  the smile off my face.
"I would be smiling too if I won the kind of prize that you won" she laughed.
Just then Alice came running in wearing the latest fashion.
"Mum, can I use daddy's photocopier?"
Alice's father was the head of the pediatric unit in Forks generel hospital.
"Yes dear" Esme replied.
Alice ran into her father's office with a note or letter in her hand.
What is the little pixie up to now?
She came back 5 minutes later with a small bag filled with copies of the note or letter.
"Ali, what is all this?"
"Well Bella, you know just as well as I do that Lauren is going to try and get out of this bet. So what I did was photo copy the agreement 200 times to either hang up on the lockers or hand them out to anyone that will take them, just so that she knows that she has to go through with it. Otherwise she will be labeled a coward, she smirked obviously pleased with herself.
I was surprised. I can't believe that I have never thought of that. It was beyond brilliant.
"OK you little pixie, lets get to school and put this plan into action," I grinned.

Following Your Dream

Chapter 10

Present - June 2012

BPOV

We were walking out of the court house after court was adjourned for the day when Edward put his hand on my arm and stopped me. I was looking down at the ground when he put his fingers under my chin and lifted my face up so that I could meet his eyes.

“Bells, I really need to talk to you,” he said. “Can we go somewhere for a drink?”

I nodded yes and we went across the road to the Twilight bar. I sat down while he went up to buy the drinks. I looked over at him and I noticed that he was getting some unwanted attention from the barmaid. I went up to him and put my arms around his waist. “Play along,” I whispered in his ear.

I started licking and nibbling at his ear while moaning seductively.

“Baby, I think that we should simply finish those drinks quickly so that I can take you home and make sweet love to you all night. Unless you haven’t ordered them yet?”

I heard a cough behind us.

“Excuse me, here are your drinks,” she huffed. “And please try to remember that this is a respectable bar,” she said glaring at me.

“No problem, thanks for the drinks,” I told her and turned to go back to the table. Edward couldn’t stop smirking.

“So Ed, what do you want to talk about?” I asked.

Edward suddenly became serious.

“Bella, I need you to know that if I could turn back the clock, I would’ve done a lot of things differently. I would never have let you go to New York. I should’ve believed what you said about Tanya before you left. I should’ve come after you before it was too late, but I need to know now. Do we have a chance to make things right? Will you give me that chance? I know that it’s bad timing with the court case but I need you to know that I still love you, Bells.” He then leaned in and kissed me.

I pulled away and looked at him.

“I can't think about this right now Edward. I'm an innocent woman who is looking at going to prison for a crime I did not commit. Can we please concentrate on that for now?” I stood up and left the bar without answering him. I got into my car and drove around thinking about the time I left Seattle and made a home in New York.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ FYD ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

August 2008

I woke up to a rare sunny day in Seattle. I heard my alarm clock go off but all I could do was groan and turned over. I felt too lazy and comfortable lying in my bed, but I knew that I had to get up and meet with J Jenks to transfer the money that my father left me to a bank in New York. It has been 6 weeks since I got the letter about going to Greenwich House Music School in New York. I will be leaving in 2 weeks to get settled. It's a whole new life and I can't wait to start living it.

Alice came to Seattle a few days ago to stay with me until I left for New York.

“BELLA ,” she yelled. “Are you awake yet?” She asked as she came storming into my room.

I love the pixie but I'm going to kill her.

“I'm up, I'm up,” I yawned. She came over and sat at the edge of the bed with a scared look in her eyes.

“Bells, please don't go to New York,” she begged. I don't know why but I have a really scary feeling that something bad is going to happen to you when you get there.”

I got out from under the covers, went and sat next to her and pulled her in for a hug. “I'm gonna miss you too Ali. You’re my best friend and I will be so lost without you.” We both started crying while holding each other.

I pulled back so that I could ask, “Are you coming with me to see Mr. Jenks?”

She gave me a little smile. “Yes on the condition that we go shopping for New York clothes.”

I rolled my eyes but I knew that I would give in. “Ok, but I get three veto’s on the clothes that you pick out,” I told her.

“Ok then,” she pouted but then her eyes lit up. “You’re going to wear one of the outfits that I buy for you to go dancing tonight,” she said.

I knew that it was pointless to say no to her, so instead I simply nodded. She started jumping up and down.

“Rose,” she called.

Rose came running up the stairs and into my room.

“Do you want to have a girly day and night?” Alice asked.

Rose started acting like Alice by jumping up and down. “Great idea!” She squealed. “It is a perfect example for Bella to see what it's like in New York.”

I jumped out of bed and threw on my dressing gown. “On that note, I'm going to have a shower and get ready to meet with Mr. Jenks,” I told them.

I went into the bathroom grabbing my toiletries and bathrobe on the way. I put on the shower while I undressed. I couldn’t stop thinking about Edward, but I'm going to have to remind myself that he is not mine anymore. I don't think that he ever was.

I took the quickest shower in history and then got out to dry off. I have to admit that I'm nervous about meeting Mr. Jenks, because once that money goes into my account then everything will become real. I will be leaving my family and friends behind and starting a new life in New York.

I wrapped the towel around me and went back into my room to grab a pair of jeans and a sweater. Rose and Alice left me to get dressed and went downstairs. I finished getting dressed and dried my hair. It felt too heavy to tie it up so I left it down.

I went downstairs to the kitchen. Alice and Rose were sitting at the breakfast bar have coffee and donuts. It was things like this that reminded me of my dad. He used to live for his coffee and donuts before he went to work. I felt tears coming to my eyes as I thought about him. I miss him more and more each day.

I took one of the donuts and put it in my mouth.

“Alright girls, I'm out of here so if either of you are coming with me then let’s get a move on,” I told them with my mouth full. They started laughing while trying to shove the last of the donuts into their face.

I looked at them nodding my head.

“Come on, the donuts will still be here when you get back,” I laughed.

Rose looked at me as if I was crazy.

“Bells, do you remember who your brother is? He is also the same man I married.” she asked. “Do you really believe that the donuts will be here when we get back?” she continued.

I laughed thinking about Emmett. He never lets anyone come between him and his food. I suddenly had tears in my eyes knowing that I'm going to be leaving him. He has been my security blanket for as long as I remember.

“Come on, let’s go and you can eat the donuts on the way” I said while grabbing my purse. I was halfway out the door when I heard a lot of fuck this and fuck that as Rose and Alice tried to stuff the last of the donuts into their mouths.

They stopped me just when I was about to get into my truck.

“Oh no, Bells,” Rose squeaked. “We are not getting into that death trap, we are taking Emmett's jeep,” she said.

I decided not to argue and got into the jeep. Rose drove straight to Jason Jenks’s office. I got out of the Jeep with Alice while Rose went to park it. I was just about to go into the building when I saw who was coming out.

Tanya

She looked straight at me and I knew that it was too late for me to run and hide. She walked over to me with this ugly smirk on her face.

“Well hello there Belinda,” she sneered.

“It’s Bella actually.” I answered.

She shrugged her shoulders. “Whatever, as if it matters” she said. I turned to continue into the building.

“Stay away from Edward, because if you don't then you wouldn’t want to have me as an enemy,” she shouted after me. I turned around to face her as she continued.

“He is with me now and besides, why would he want to be with a mousy little nobody when he has me warming his bed.” She spat with venom.

Alice was about to say something but I put a hand out to stop her. I walked back over to her and got into her face.

“First let me give you a few home truths,” I pointed into her fake chest.

“One, I don't want Edward and you can tell him that from me. Besides, I'm leaving to go to New York. I know that I will find someone else who is better for me then your fiancé. Two, do you seriously think that he would be with you if you weren’t pregnant? And three, It takes a real insecure person to believe that she has to threaten someone to stay away from her fiancé.” As I turned and walked into the building, I turned my head, “By the way, did Edward ask you to sign a pre nup yet?” I smirked and continued walking, not bothering to look back.

I barely noticed Alice and Rose following me. I was so angry at Tanya and what she said. Somehow I have a feeling that she already knew that he didn’t want to be with her and got pregnant on purpose. Edward doesn’t seem like the type to have sex without protection.

I made my way up to Jason Jenks’s office and asked the secretary to tell him I was here. Five minutes later he came out of his office and told me to come in.

“Well Isabella, it seems like you are leaving us for the Big Apple?” He asked.

"Yeah that's right," I told him. "I'm attending the Greenwich House Music School in New York. It is something that my dad and I planned together.”

Mr. Jenks smiled. “You do know that your father was not only my client but he was also my friend. I also know for a fact that he loved you very much and that he was very proud of you,” he said.

I suddenly felt tears in my eyes. I'm surprised that I even have any tears left, I’ve cried so much since my dad died.

“Anyway,” he continued. “All you need to do is sign these papers and the money will be in the bank of your choice within 5 working days.”

I signed the papers and then got up.

“Thanks for everything that you have done. Not only for me, but also for my father. I will never forget it.” I said while shaking his hand. He then pulled me in and gave me a fatherly hug.

“Good luck in New York, Bella. Make us proud.” He said.

I nodded and walked out the door to where Alice and Rose were sitting.

“So are you both ready to go shopping for a dress so that we can paint the town red tonight or not?” I laughed.

I couldn’t believe how fast they jumped up out of their seats.

“Let's go!” Alice squealed.

By the time we got outside Rose was pulling up in Emmett's jeep. We started speeding off towards the mall. It was almost as if I would change my mind if she didn’t get us there fast enough.

After that meeting with Mr. J Jenks it was finally sinking in that I was leaving my girls behind and fucking off to New York and it scared the shit out of me, so I really need this day and night, just the three of us.

When we pulled up outside the mall, Alice hardly gave me any time to get out. She opened the car door, took me by the arm and dragged me out of the car.

Our first stop was Victoria’s Secret. I looked around while Alice and Rose were taking everything and anything off the racks. They came over to me.

“Try these on,” they said shoving a load of silk, satin and lace at me and pointing me towards the dressing room. I went into the closest changing room, I started thinking of Edward while I tried on the different type of lingerie. I wondered what type he liked and if he would like them on me.

“Bella,” Alice called. “Come on out and show us what you have.”

I sighed and stepped out of the changing room wearing only a cream lacy thong and matching bra.

“Oh wow Bells, you are so getting that set and not only in that color but also in the blue,” Rose said.

I nodded and went back into the changing room to change back into my clothes. When I came out I saw that Alice was whispering to Rose. She was also carrying a few more items for me.

“What's going on?” I asked when I went up to the cash register to pay for the stuff that we picked out. Rose stopped me before I got my wallet out of my bag.

“My treat,” she said.

“No way, Rosie,” I said nodding my head.

“Yes way, Bells,” she said giving the sales girl her credit card. “My sister and Best friend is leaving me to go to New York next week. Please let me do this for you.”

I sighed in defeat. “Ok Rose,” I said while we were walking out of the store. “By the way, where is Alice?”

Rose grinned “She had something to do but she will meet us over at the beauty salon when she is finished.”

We started walking towards the salon when I saw a new book and crafts store called vibes and scribes. I started to walk over to it when Rose stopped me.

“Bella, you can go shopping for books anytime but today and tonight is about the three of us having some girly time together.”

“Ok then,” I said and then walked into the salon.

“Rosalie,” I heard someone call.

“Paul,” she answered and went over to him and they gave each other a kiss on each cheek.

“Paul, we need your expertise. My friend, Bella is leaving us to go to New York to school and we are taking her out tonight to say Bon Voyage. So we would like to give her the full treatment. No expense spared.”

“Rosalie, you know me. Nobody leaves here unless they get the star treatment, so why don't you relax and let the professional work his magic,” he cooed.

He came over to me. “Ok miss Bella, let’s have a look and see what we can do with you.”

After three hours of him doing my hair, nails and eyebrows I finally had a look in the mirror. I have to admit that he did an excellent job. I liked what he did with my hair. He washed, softened and trimmed my hair only taking off three inches.

I got up and gave him a hug while thanking him.

“You have beautiful hair, Bella. It was a pleasure doing it. Please, promise me that you will never cut it?”

I smiled. “Thanks again Paul.” I said without answering his question.

He smiled back. “Take care of yourself Bella.”

I walked out to where Rose and Alice where waiting for me. I noticed that Alice had at least six shopping bags.

“What did you buy, Ali” I asked.

She laughed. “I could tell you but then I would have to kill you. Come on let’s go get something to eat. I didn’t have anything to eat since you dragged me away from my donuts.”

We went into Starbucks, that was only four shops away from the salon. There was nobody in there so we were served pretty quickly. I turned around to go sit down and wait for our food when I knocked into someone, spilling their coffee in the process.

“YOU BITCH!” She shouted.

I looked up into the cold blue eyes of Tanya. Rose and Alice came up and stood on each side of me.

“I would say that I'm sorry but I'm really not.” I said smugly

“You are only jealous that Edward chose me and that we are going to have a baby,” she smirked.

“Oh please, you are as much pregnant as I am.” I blurted out. I covered my mouth with my hand. I can't believe that I said that.

For a second I saw panic on her face but it was quickly replaced by fury. I wonder if I really saw it.

“All you are is a mousy little whore. As if a man like Edward would ever want to be with someone like you when he has someone like me,” she spat. “We are going to be a family.”

I was sick of this plastic Barbie looking down at me so I decided to stick to what I said earlier even though it wasn’t true.

“Alright then prove it to me. Let's get a pregnancy test and I will wait with you while you take it. If it does come out positive then I will leave you and Edward to live happily ever after.”

Just then the look of panic came back and I'm seriously questioning if she is in fact pregnant or if she is just trying to trap Edward.

“I don't have to prove anything to you. I-I-I am pregnant,” she said and ran out of the shop.

I stared after her with my mouth open. Did that really happen? I went to sit down with Rose and Alice whose eyes were wide open with surprise and shock.

“Did that really happen?” I asked them.

Rose took my hand into both of hers. “Bells, I believe that you hit the nail right on the head. From the way she looked, it is obvious that she faked this pregnancy. I mean remember what Edward told us. She said that she would get rid of it unless he married her. She must’ve planned this whole thing.”

I started shaking.

“Rose, I have to tell Edward. I'm not going to forgive him and I'm still going to New York but he needs to know. I can't just switch off my feelings for him and pretend not to care. Nobody deserves this.”

Alice pulled out her cell phone and went outside the cafe. I watched her as she spoke on the phone. She finally hung up and came back in.

“Edward is meeting us in a hour back at the house. So we better get moving.” We started walking out and walked towards the jeep.

“Ali, what did you say to him?”

“Well, I told him that we had a run in with Tanya and that you needed to speak to him. He sounded so sad. I think that he really misses you.”

I looked at Rose. “What about Emmett?” I asked.

“Don't worry about Emmett, I will take care of him.” She said with a smug look on her face.

We all got in the car and Rose drove us back to the house. I have to admit that I have butterflies in my stomach.

Emmett was sitting on the couch when we walked in.

“Hi Ladies, what did you three get up to today? Actually, don't answer that because I see the bags that Alice brought in,” he laughed. He then came over to me and put his arms around my shoulders.

“How did it go today with Mr. Jenks? Did you get everything sorted out for the move?”

“Yeah I did Emmy,” I told him. I looked over at Rose pleading with my eyes to tell him.

“Emmett, can you come into the kitchen with me for a few minutes,” she purred.

She took him by the hand and brought him into the kitchen. Alice and I strained to hear what was being said. We heard Rose talking to him in a quiet voice but then,

“THERE IS NO WAY THAT BASTARD IS COMING INTO MY HOME” Emmett shouted. Rose tried to calm him down.

“I DON'T GIVE TWO FLYING SHITS. HE MADE HIS OWN BED NOW HE HAS TO SLEEP IN IT WITH THAT WHORE.” Rose continued to try and talk to him. He then came back into the living room shouting, “FINE, NOBODY LISTEN'S TO ME ANYWAY BUT IF YOU THINK I'M LEAVING HER ALONE WITH HIM THEN YOUR’E CRAZY.”

Just then the doorbell rang.

“I'll answer it,” Alice said and went to let Edward in.

“Emmy, I'm not going to do anything and I'm not going to forgive him but I won't be able to live with myself if I don't at least tell him about this,” I told him.

Just then Edward walked in. He looked so tired as if he aged 15 years since the last time I saw him. He came over to me and put his hand out as if to touch me. I backed away from him. I knew that if he touched me that I would break down.

He put his hand down. “Thanks for calling so that we can talk.” He whimpered.

Emmett huffed. “If it was up to me you would be in a trash can right now,” he said. I ignored him.

“Edward, there is something you need to know before I leave because I wouldn’t be able live with myself if I didn’t at least warn you.”

Edward looked shocked and surprised.

“Leave? Where are you going?”

I'm surprised that he didn’t know. It seems to be all anybody is talking about.

“I'm leaving to go to New York next week. I was accepted into the Greenwich House Music School for two years.”

His eyes started filling with tears.

“No, no, No, NO, please Bella, I miss you. If you just wait for me then I will transfer to a university in New York so that we can be together. Just wait and we will go after the baby is born. I love you, Bella. I'm lost without you.”

“OH FOR FUCKS SAKE, I CAN'T STAND THIS ANYMORE. EDWARD, SHE IS NOT PREGNANT. SHE IS TRYING TO TRAP YOU!” Emmett yelled.

Edward looked like he was hit by a baseball bat.

I looked at him. “Edward, Myself, Rose and Alice saw Tanya in Starbucks today. It was obvious from the way that she looked and was talking that she is not pregnant.”

“I need to ask you this Bella, if she wasn’t pregnant then would you take me back?” he asked.

“No, I wouldn’t, I just need you to know because I wouldn’t put this on anyone.” He backed away.

“Thanks for telling me but I will take my chances,” he said while walking to the door.

“Edward!” I called after him. “Just because I can't be with you it doesn’t mean that I don't love you.”

He turned around with fury flashing in his eyes.

“You Love me? Well here's a news flash. I hate you. I hate the fact that you

make me speechless, I hate that I can't go a day without thinking about you or

 wondering if you're thinking about me. I hate this feeling. I feel empty without

 you. I've never felt this way about anyone before and I hate it, and most of all I

 hate that I love you.” He then turned and walked out the door.

I looked around at everyone and then ran upstairs to my room. I threw myself 

on top of the bed and cried until I felt like there were no tears left.

Chapter 1


November
4 months earlier
BPOV
I woke up to a cold morning in Forks on a monday morning. If there was one thing that I hated more then the cold then it would be school. All they see when they look at me is a plain, ordinary girl. The only 2 people who make school tolerable for me is my twin brother, Alec and my best friend, Alice. They are the only people I hang around with. My school is divided into groups such as the cheerleaders and jocks, band geeks and nerds. Sometimes I dream that my favourite actor, Edward Masen would just turn up and walk right past the cheerleaders and then stop right in front of me only to lift me up bridal style and walk out of the school, just like Richard gere did in An officer and a gentleman. But life is not a dream.
I look at my alarm clock and moan when I see the time. The last thing I want to do is get up and go to school. My cell phone rings dead on 6.30am. It can only be one person. 
"Hello Ali" I answered. 
"Hey Bell" she answered back.
She rings me at this time every morning before school. It seems like she does'nt trust me to pick out the right outfit by myself. 
"Bella, take out that long sleeve florence chiffon top that I bought for you last mouth," she demanded. "Match that with a pair of black skinny jeans and don't forget to wear your cream lace bra underneath that top."
"Ok Ali, I see you at school," I said with a sigh. 
"See you then Bell " she said and then hung up. 
Why does she do this to me every morning, I thought. God forbid if I turn up in last years fashion clothes. 
I went in to the shower and used my favourite strawberry shampoo and body wash. Ever since they said in teen magazine that Edward Masen's favourite scent on a woman was strawberry then it became my favourite too.
I finished drying off, dried my hair and dressed in the clothes that Alice picked out for me to wear. I then went downstairs to where my parents and my brother, Alec was sitting having breakfast. 
My father sighed while reading the paper. 
"Is there a problem, Charlie?" my mother asked. 
"Oh it is nothing Renee," he answered and then sighed again.
My mother put down her coffee. "Ok Charlie. I know that there is something in that paper that's bothering you, so out with it."
"It's just that Edward Masen is coming to Seattle for the premiere of his new film," he said.
"WHAT" I screamed and snatched the paper out of his hands. 
"That is just the reaction I expected from you," Charlie laughed.
I ignored him. I was to busy reading the paper. It said that Edward Masen was coming to Seattle for the premiere of his new film BITE. It will be held at the 5th avenue theatre on the 18th november which is on a Saturday. At least I won't miss school. OMG, my dream is coming true. I will see Edward Masen. 
"I have to ring Alice so that we can make plans," I told my parents.
"Woo there missy, don't think for a second that you are going to this premiere" my father protested. "Girls get hurt at these things. They cause a panic, I would'nt be surprised if your the one that causes the panic," he continued.
"But daddy" I squeeked. "I have to go. If I don't go then my life won't have any meaning. I will waste away to nothing and you will have to live with  knowing that you took away my one chance to ever see Edward Masen."
"You think about that while I go to school, I told him and walked out and got into my truck.  
5 mins later I pulled up at forks high school to find Alice waiting for me in my regular parking spot. I barely had time to get out of the truck before she started hugging me while jumping up and down on the spot. 
"Bell, did you hear the news? The cast of the new film BITE is coming to Seattle."
"Ali Ali woo there Ali calm down" I giggled. 
"Bella why ar'nt you more excited? This is Edward Masen and Jasper Whitlock that we are talking about," she asked.
I completely forgot that Jasper Whitlock was also starring in this movie and that he is Alice's crush. 
"My father is having a fit attack about me going to Seattle and is worried that I will get hurt" I told her. 
"Bella, your father will come around, don't worry. We will torment him until he gives in. Besides we have 3 weeks to change his mind."
We started walking into school trying to think of a plan on how to get to Seattle. I know that I will just die if I don't see Edward Masen knowing that he is so close.
The whole school was buzzing about the news of the premiere. I was walking to my maths class when I heard Lauren Mallory talking to Jessica Stanley.
"I can't wait to get to Seattle to see Edward Masen, I know for a fact that he won't be able to take his eyes off me once he see's me,"Lauren was telling Jessica. 
"Oh I'm so jealous, the second that he sees you in that little black dress, he will be a goner. Just promise me that when you are in LA and on the arm of Edward Masen you won't forget about me," Jessica whined.
I could'nt stand to listen to anymore talk from slut 1 and slut 2 so I walked right past them and straight into my maths class. 
The day flew by. All anyone could talk about was who was going to Seattle to attend the red carpet and who could afford to get tickets to meet the stars. 
"Bella," Alice called while running to catch up with me in the hall. She was practacly skipping down the hall with excitement. Now I have seen Alice excited before but never this excited. 
"Hi Ali, what are you doing?" She hugged me while jumping up and down. "What would you say if I told you that we could have a chance to meet Edward Masen and Jasper Whitlock," she asked.
"I would say talk to me now and then I would be jumping up and down with you," I laughed. 
"Well I just found out that they where having a contest on the radio station atlantic 252 between 6 and 7 pm this evening. The winner wins 2 nights in the olympic hotel and 2 tickets to attend the BITE premiere and after party."
"Aaaaaaaaaa" I screamed and started jumping up and down. "My place or yours, Ali?"
"We would be better off going to my place. Just in case your father is home and starts telling you again that you won't be going. It will only bring us down and we both know that he won't say no if we win the tickets."
"You are so crafty, Ali but I love you," I told her.
"Don't I know it, Bell but I love you too," she laughed. 
We both continued laughing so hard that we did'nt hear someone come up behind us.
"Don't even bother going in for that radio contest", said Lauren Mallory looking all smug. 
Alice went and stood right in front of her. 
"And why is that, Lauren," she snapped.
"Well, for one my brother's best friend's brother is in charge of that radio station so one, I as good as won those tickets and two, do you really think that guys like Edward Masen would even look twice at someone like you," she smirked looking at me.
"Well Lauren, good luck with it and may the best girl win," I told her. 
Lauren looked shocked at the fact that I spoke back at her. 
"I bet you that I will win the tickets and if you don't believe that I will win then lets place a bet," she asked.
I don't like where this is going but I knew that if myself and Alice did'nt have a chance of winning then Lauren would'nt either. 
"Ok" I said. "But if neither of us wins then the bet is invalid and to make sure that neither of us backs out, Alice will write down what it is and we both have to sign it.
"OK" she said all smug. "The loser has to sit on Riley Biers lap and make out with him."
Now I was starting to get scared. Riley Biers is a nobody. He does'nt even wash himself. He says that the natural scent is better than any soap or deodrant but I could'nt back out now.
"Deal" I told her as Alice finished writing the bet on the piece of paper. She gave it to me and I signed it and then Lauren snapped it out of my hand to sign it. 
"Later losers" she said handing the paper back to Alice and then walked off. 
I looked at Alice and saw that she was hiding her face in her hands and her whole body was shaking. 
"Are you alright, Ali?"
She looked up at me with tears running down her face from laughing so hard. 
"Oh Bell, that will be sweet victory if we win that radio contest. I can just imagine Lauren if she has to kiss Riley Biers."
"Oh yeah, Ali and what will happen if she wins and I have to kiss Riley Biers? I have never kissed a guy before and there is no way in fuck that Riley Biers is going to be my first kiss," I told her.
"Well Bell, that is the beauty of your best friend minding that piece of paper. I can always make it disappear," she laughed. 
A big grin spread across my face. "Girlfriend, I like the way you think."
"Come on lets get going," she said.
I looked around and noticed for the first time that the school was finished for the day. 
"I will follow you in my truck, I told her." She nodded and I watched her get into her yellow 911 GT Turbo.
I drove for 10 mins to Alice's home thinking of the fact that I will meet Edward Masen if I win. I finally came to Alice's house and in my excitement I jumped out of the truck to run to the door but me been accident prone  tripped over a log. Thank goodness my hands broke my fall. I continued to walk to the door and just when I was about to knock, the door opened and Alice dragged me inside. 
"Mum, we're here" Alice yelled. Esme Cullen came out of the kitchen to see us. If you where only meeting her for the first time then you would'nt believe that she was Alice's mother. She could easily pass for her middly 20's when she was in fact 36 years old. 
"Hi girls,"she greeted. "Could you both come over and sit down for a minute so that I can talk to you, she asked." We both went over and sat down on the couch next to her.
"Bella, Alice phoned me during your lunch hour and told me about this premiere and also about the contest. Now I'm not going to tell you not to enter it so don't worry about that. I just want to tell you that I phoned your mother and father and they agreed to let you go to this premiere with Alice on the condition that I will go with you. I won't go to the red carpet with you but your parents don't need to know that.  Is that agreeable with you?"
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee," I squealed. I jumped up and hugged Esme so hard that I thought that she was going to stop breathing. 
"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you," I chanted. 
"Your welcome," she laughed. "Now go on, get out of my sight and try and win those tickets," she said and then went back into the kitchen. 
I practacally skipped up to Alice's room. It was the same as my room. The only difference was Alice's room was covered in posters of Jasper Whitlock just like mine was covered in posters of Edward Masen. I looked at the clock and saw that it was close to 6pm. Alice then got up and switched on the radio. The music from atlantic 252 came blaring out. Next we heard the DJ speaking. 
Welcome to all you listeners. This is your DJ John Cassidy. I will be on live from now until 7pm. If any of you are a fan of the movies then stay tuned for your chance to win 2 nights stay in the olympic hotel, Seattle for 2 and 2 tickets to attend the premiere of Edward Masen's new film BITE and the after party. 
My stomach is full of butterflys and my heart is in my throat. The only thing I could think of was I have to win, I have to win. I looked at Alice and saw that the phone was in her hands and that she was shaking with the nerves.
"Hi everyone. This is John Cassidy and I'm back to give you the chance to win 2 nights stay in the olympic hotel, Seattle for 2 and 2 tickets to attend the premiere of Edward Masen's new film BITE and the after party. All you have to do is be the 9th caller and then answer one simple question. Good luck everyone."
Alice started dialling but her hands are shaking so badly that she had to keep trying again and again. I suddenly just snapped the phone out of her hands and started dialling. I kept getting the engaged signal so i kept pressing redial.
"Ok that was the 8th caller so the next one who rings will have the chance to win that fantastic prize."
I pressed redial again praying that it would ring. 
Ring Ring!!!
"IT'S RINGING,ALI," I screamed. She jumped up screaming.
"Hello, this is John Cassidy and you are the 9th caller. What is your name and where are you from?"
"My name is Bella Swan and I am from Forks, Washington," I squeaked. How I was able to speak I will never know. 
"Well Bella, if you get this right you will win that fantastic prize but if you get it wrong we will have to go to the next caller."
"What is the name of the film that brought Edward Masen stardom and what was his characters name?"
I did'nt have to think because I already knew the answer. 
"The name of the film is wizards and his characters name was Cedric Diggory," I answered.
"That is correct. Congratulations Bella you have won 2 nights stay in the olympic hotel, Seattle for 2 and 2 tickets to attend the premiere of Edward Masen's new film BITE and the after party. Please stay on the line so that we can get your details. 
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" myself and Alice screamed together. We started hugging and crying. I suddenly remembered that I was still on the phone. 
"Hello," I asked. 
"Hello Bella, can I say congratulations again and that I am so happy for you and between you and me there is a girl here in the studio who is a friend of a friend and was ready to jump into the studio when I asked that question and I think she was really pissed off when she saw that the studio door was locked. She is crazy. I believe that she also lives in forks," he laughed. 
I laughed knowing for certain that the girl he is talking about is Lauren Mallory.
I continued talking to him and gave him the details he needed and he said that he would send all the tickets and information by courier and that if there was any problems then to contact the radio station that was in port angeles. I looked over to see that Alice was hugging Esme. She put her arm out so that I could join them in the hug. Me and Alice where jumping up and down doing the happy dance in Esme's arms. 
"I can't believe it, I'm going to meet Edward Masen, I'm so excited," I squealed. 
Alice looked up at me and started laughing as if she suddenly remembered something funny. 
"You know another thing that I'm excited about." she laughed. 
"What," I asked. 
"I'm excited to see the look on Lauren's face when you come into school tomorrow knowing that she will have to follow through on that bet," she laughed. I started laughing as well just thinking about it.
"You know what Ali, for the first time I'm so excited to go to school." 

This is how I see Edward Masen at the premiere in my story All Alone

Teaser for All Alone Chapter 1

26/08/2012



 My father sighed while reading the paper. 
"Is there a problem, Charlie?" my mother asked. 
"Oh it is nothing Renee, he answered and then sighed again.
My mother put down her coffee. "Ok Charlie. I know that there is something in that paper bothering you so out with it."
"It's just that Edward Masen is coming to Seattle for the premiere of his new film," he said.
"WHAT" I screamed and snatched the paper out of his hands. 
"That is just the reaction I expected from you," Charlie laughed.
I ignored him. I was to busy reading the paper. It said that Edward Masen was coming to Seattle for the premiere of his new film BITE. It will be held at the 5th avenue theatre on the 18th november which is on a Saturday. At least I won't miss school. OMG, my dream is coming true. I will see Edward Masen. 
"I have to ring Alice so that we can make plans," I told my parents.
"Woo there missy, don't think for a second that you are going to this premiere" my father protested. "girls get hurt at these things. They cause a panic, unless your the one that causes the panic," he continued.
"But daddy" I squeeked. "I have to go. If I don't go then my life won't have any meaning. I will waste away to nothing and you will have to live with that knowing that you took away my one chance to ever see Edward Masen."
"You think about that while I go to school, I told him and walked out and got into my truck.

Here is the prologue for my new fanfiction

All alone

Prologue

I can't believe this is happening to me. What did I ever do to have my life turn out like this? I am 16 years old, I have a home and the greatest family. We don't have much but we have love and each other. My parents Renee and Charlie own the pub Swans. I also have my twin brother, Alec and my best friend Alice. 

Me and Alice have been best friends since kindergarden. While I was growning up Alice was the one person that I could always go too when I needed some one to talk to. Not only was she my best friend but she is also my sister. That is why she is helping me get through this most difficult time in my life by running away. 

I have to leave. I love my parents but I can't stay and look at the disappointed looks on their faces. 

Just 3 months ago myself and Alice won the radio contest to attend the premiere and after party of BITE. We were so excited. It was there that I meet Edward Masen, a 21 year old actor who was totally drop dead gorgeous with his green eyes and messy hair. I had the biggest crush on him ever since I saw him in that film wizards. 

A lot has changed in the last few months after myself and Alice won that radio contest and I spent the night with Edward Masen and it has'nt all been good. On that same night Alice meet with another actor in the film. Jasper Whitlock. It turned out differently for her. She swears that he is her soul mate and that they will meet again.

With help of Alice's mother Esme, myself and Alice are on our way to LA to stay with her Aunt Carmen so that I can start my life fresh.Away from all the people who know me. I love my family but Esme is like a second mother to me. She told me that she under stood what I was going through. I need to do this so that I won't cause my any further embarrassment.  I already have the whole town talking about me and pointing their fingers at me and my family. Besides I always wanted to go to LA  I just wish that it was under better circumstances.

I hope that my family will never find out where I am. I know that they said that they will stand behind me no matter what happens but I see the hurt and disappointment in their eyes and I hate that I hurt them so much. 

So here I am at Seattle Airport with Alice. Her parents Esme and Carlisle are here to see us off. I'm ready to jump on the plane and go to my new life in LA. Away from the hurt, anger, gossip and disappointment.
