Chapter 21
APOV
Eeeeee! I was so ready to ask Edward and Bella about their dates. I had just woken up to see Jasper soundly sleeping next to me. I kissed his cheek, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Morning Darlin." He yawned.
"Morning Jazz!" I smiled.
"Why are you up so early anyway?" He groaned.
"I wanna know about Bella, and Edward's date." I said jumping from underneath the covers.
"Why are you so interested in their lives, my little meddling pixie?" He smiled lazily.
"Cause I'm Alice. Now come on." I pulled him up, and he grumbled.
I walked in the hallway to see Rose pulling along Em, in their pajamas.
"Took you too bro?" Emmett yawned, and Jasper nodded.
"Come on you guys , don't you want to know about their dates? And why they didn't have dinner?" Rose asked.
"Uh no. Were guys. You too gossip like old ladies." Emmett spoke.
"Yeah right, you guys gossip more than we do. Don't act like you don't. I protested pulling Jasper's arm.
I went downstairs to see one of the most cutest scenes ever. Edward and Bella were cuddled up on the couch. Her head against his shoulder, his hands protectively around her. I glanced at Rose, Em, and Jasper and they all had grins on their faces. I could hear a faint mumbling from Bella. I always knew she was a sleep talker, but never really acknowledged it.
"Put the squirrel in the coconut! An mix it all up." We all had to stifle our laughter, so we wouldn't wake them up. She was quiet for a couple of minutes and started rambling again.
"Emmett smells like bacon." She mumbled, and Emmett scoffed in protest."I do not." he groaned.
"Uh you kinda do. Maybe if you stop eating meat so much it'll go away." I grinned.
We listened more for ramblings to hear Bella ramble about Jasper looking like a cowboy, rose was a queen, and I was a fairy."Who knew Bells dreams were so weird." Jasper laughed.
"I know right. I surprised she has mentioned Edward yet." Rose said. And as if right on cue Bella mumbled.
"Edward has pretty hair!" It feels like marshmallows." When she said this we all bust out into fits of laughter. Waking up Bella, and Edward in the process.
"What's so funny." Edward and Bella groaned rubbing sleep from their eyes.
"Nothing at all, just some of Bella's sleep talking.
"Oh my god what did I say?" She moaned her face turning a deep crimson.
"Oh nothing too embarrassing , only that Edward has pretty hair that feels like marshmallows." I grinned.
Edward raised a questioning eyebrow at her, and she just shrugged her shoulders.
"Hey it's true. You could be in a tresseme commercial." She smiled.
"Great, more comparing me to a girl." He groaned."Maybe that'll explain why you're always pms-ing." Emmett laughed.
"I do not!" Edward protested."Whatever bro so about your date?" Emmett said quirking his eyebrows up and down suggestively.
Bella and Edward looked at each other and groaned. Bella then went on to tell us about Jake and his "wife." By the end of the story all I could do is stare with my mouth open. Of course Emmett broke the silence.
"That is epic!" he boomed, and soon we were all laughing."Yeah I really appreciate how our misery is your happiness." Bella groaned."Love you Bells." We all said.
"Yeah Yeah…" Bella smiled. She then got up and strolled over to the kitchen.
"So who wants breakfast?"

The weeks after that disastrous day were going by quickly. Soon the one day I was dreading was coming up next week.
"No, that's illegal!" I protested."Bells, it's just a little fake id. What's the worst that could happen." Alice smiled.
"Uh let me think. We could get arrested." I cried."But Bells it's your 18th birthday. Don't you want to party?" Rose grinned.
"No. Why can't we go out to dinner or something?" I moaned."Dinners are so overrated." Rose said.
"Yeah, and no if or butt's about it." Alice grinned."I real y have no choice huh?" I asked malice but I already knew the answer."Nope." She said popping the "p."
"Fine but if we do get arrested, I'm not being your bitch so the other's wont grab you." I smirked.
"Silly Bella." Rose, and Alice laughed.
I hadn't heard from Jacob, and I was glad. That little fiasco, 3 weeks ago had me, going out of my mind. Leah also left Edward alone, and I could see he was relieved. Me, and Edward started hanging around each other since our classes started letting out at the same time. This ranged from, going to get lunch, ride over to the bookstore or just take a walk through the park. It was nice being alone. Just the two of us where we couldn't hold back. The text messages had stopped and I was relieved, although I would often see Tanya and her little posse giving me the stink eye every time I was around him. She was acting like this was high school. I would often avoid her glare, and walk away. But sometimes I would often wonder if the messages were related to her, since lately I noticed she was always around someone I went. I pushed this aside, and thought I was hallucinating.
"Great just great." I groaned, waiting in the back of Emmett's jeep.
"What's wrong Bells?" Edward asked."We are so going to get arrested." I said fingering rubbing the clasp around my charm bracelet Edward had given me earlier. It had a B.M.S. my initials, a dog for Emmett, a book fir Jasper, a rose from Rosalie, a shoe from Alice, and a music note from Edward.
"Were not going to get arrested Bella?" He laughed."How can you be so sure?" I asked him. The others looked at me curiously.
"You're 18 now Bells. It's time to live a little." Jasper grinned."I am living." I moaned.
"Yeah living like a prude." Rose grinned.
"Hey!" I screeched.
"Chill. Just kidding. Look were here, just relax okay?" She smiled.
"Fine. But like I told Alice I'm not being you bitch when we go to jail." I moaned, and the car erupted into fits of laughter.
We quickly arrived at the club and I flattened down my denim skirt. I still had flats on to support my legs, and quickly fluffed up my hair. If I had to act like I was 21 might as well look the part. We quickly ushered in. Thank god that the bouncer looked about 50, and his eyes weren't too well. We followed in a quickly found a table. Emmett ordered a round of shots."Em. I'm underage!" I protested."Chill, a little tequila never hurt anyone."Yeah that's what all alcoholics say." I sneered, and the waitress reappeared with 6 shots of tequila, 6 limes, and salt.
"So what am I supposed to do?" I asked.
"Damn Bells, we need to start getting you out more." Rose laughed.
"First lick the top of your hand." Alice licked hers, and we followed.
"Dump the salt in a trail against where you licked." He again all followed.
"Now lick the salt up and take your shot. Then squeeze the lime in your mouth. She went first and everyone followed,everyone gulped there's down with ease and smacked it back on the table.
"Come on Bella! You can do it." They egged. I groaned and chugged it down. The alcohol burned my throat, and I started coughing violently.
"Oh I forgot it was her first time." Alice grinned.
"You mean you've done this before?" I asked.
"Hey a girls' got to have fun, now lets go." She smiled grabbing Rose's and mine's hand.
We made our way down to the dance floor were it was crowded with people. We started dancing, and I felt myself get lost in the music. I felt light in the moment. Maybe it was the tequila, maybe not. I was a lightweight, and maybe all one shot was what it took. I was dancing more into the music when I bumped into someone. I mumbled a quick apology and instantly regretted it when I looked up….
