annalise was annoyed.
alice had gotten her to try on at least fifty different dresses, but none of them looked good. they were in the car on the way to get bella from work and alice would not stop bugging her about what she was going to wear to forks' graduation.
the music was pulsing through the car speakers as they pulled up to retrieve bella, "hey alice. anna." bella said as she got into the car. annalise turned around from the front to smile at the girl. "bella..." annalise said turning down the music a bit.
"so how was your visit with the wolf boy." annalise asked turning back around raising her brow. "it was good." she replied looking a the window. anna could tell something was up, bella was never this quiet. "where's your brother?" bella asked the two girls, one singing and the other trying to ignore it. "what's going on?" bella asked uneasy, "wheres edward?" annalise shrugged. "they left early." alice nodded in agreement.
"oh." bella slumped back into the seat watching the trees go by. "all the boys went, and we're having a slumber party!" alice yelled in singsong voice. "a slumber party?" Bella asked leaning in the middle console of the two front seats. "aren't you excited?" anna said a hint of sarcasm in her voice. "you're kidnapping me, aren't you?"
anna laughed and nodded. "till Saturday. esme cleared it with charlie; you're staying with us two nights, and I will drive you two to and from school tomorrow."
"sorry," Alice said, gritting her teeth and annalise tensed. "he paid us off."
"how?" bella hissed. "he might have given her the porsche." annalise whispered, "it's exactly like the one i stole in italy." alice sighed happily. "i'm not supposed to drive it around forks, but if you want, we could see how long it takes to get from here to L.A. - i bet i could have you back by midnight." alice was pushing it.

"i think i'll pass," bella sighed.
alice soon pulled around to the garage, bella quickly looked over the cars. emmett's jeep was there, with a shiny canary yellow porsche between it, rosalie's red convertible and annalise's white M5 BMW all parked pretty close together.
alice hopped out and went to pat her hand along the length of her porsche. "pretty, isn't she?" "alice." annalise stated walking over to Bella. she was not convinced at her antics.
"pretty over-the-top," bella grumbled not amused. "he gave you that just for two days of holding me hostage?" anna snorted, "no he also gave me some money." bella rolled her eyes, "it's for every time he's gone, isn't it?" bella asked walking up to the garage door, anna nodded and smiled, "don't worry, he will be fine."
"alice, don't you think this is just a little bit controlling? just a tiny bit psychotic, maybe? anna do you agree with me?" anna looked at bella nodding, "its just a bit psychotic." she held up her two fingers to make a point then.
"not really." alice said as she sniffed. "you don't seem to grasp how dangerous a young werewolf can be. especially when I can't see them. edward has no way to know if you're safe. you shouldn't be so reckless."
"yes, because a vampire slumber party is the pinnacle of safety conscious behavior." bella grumbled not happy before annalise looked at her. alice shook her head and smiled, "i'll give you a pedicure and everything," she said as they walked inside, esme and rose were currently home, and esme had brought italian food all the way from port angeles, "esme! we're home!"
"i'm in the kitchen!" she heard her voice call out. annalise walked into the kitchen then, seeing esme washing her hands in the sink, "hello dear." she smiled at annalise who walked over to her, anna kissed her adoptive mother on the cheek, "how are you?"
"i'm great now that you two are home." she whispered, anna saw the bag of italian food on the counter, "i'll go ahead and heat this up for bella." anna whispered, hearing bellas annoyed sigh come from the living room. "she's annoyed at alice isn't she?" esme asked, "yeah pretty much."
she went ahead and placed the pasta on a plate for bella, they only used the microwave when bella was around, the smell of italian pasta radiated through the kitchen and annalise scrunched her nose up. since she was turned she couldn't stand the smell of food. when it was ready she took it out to the living room, her dark hair bouncing softly on her shoulders.
"so how late do you want to stay up?" anna asked when she walked back in the room with a plate of food and saw bella getting her nails painted. "i don't want to stay up. alice, rose and i have school in the morning." bella said harshly looking away from annalise.
anna shrugged her shoulders at bellas rudeness, she set the plate of food down for her, and she heard rose walk down the stairs. alice then pouted as rose walked into of the room, rose did not like bella too much, she was very envious of bella. rose glared at bella and smirked at annalise before heading into the kitchen.
"where am i supposed to sleep, anyway?" bella asked as she eyed the couch, "can't you just keep me under surveillance at my house?"
"what kind of a slumber party would that be?" alice shook her head, "you're sleeping in Edward's room." anna spoke up taking alices spotlight, "i re-did edwards room for you both."
"can i go back to my place to get my things, at least?" bella asked eagerly wanting to get away from the two girls, annalise grinned. "already taken care of."
"am i allowed to use your phone?" bella spoke, pleading with annalise. "charlie knows where you are." alice sighed. "i wasn't going to call charlie." bella spoke. "apparently, I have some plans to cancel."
