Chapter 2

Bella sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror. Sometimes she wondered how they are her best friends when they pulled stunts like this. She loves them, she does but times like this she wants to strangle them. Though a part of her actually felt beautiful when she looked at herself.

She was adored in a short turquoise dress that didn't even reach her knees. It was sleeveless and it had royal blue flowers and vines peppered around the dress, making it pop out due to the two shades of blue involved. Her hair was down but curled into bouncy ringlets. With the make-up and the combination she actually looked…beautiful. She hesitantly smiled at herself and touched her hair. Then her smile dropped when she saw her shoes. They were turquoise high heeled pumps that she was dreading. Despite her protests she couldn't get them to veto her heels. Despite her current beauty she knew she is gonna ruin this by falling flat on her face.

Just then she heard banging on her door.

"Come on Bella! Stop wasting time, we literally got you ready so you have no excuse!" Alice shouted from outside her door.

"We need to go pronto!" she heard Rosalie's voice piping in.

Ready to face the music Bella shakily and carefully walked towards the door and opened it to face her friends. A wild part of her wanted to scream at them for getting in her personal space and forcing her to do this. But the virgin half of her, the one that reluctantly wanted to abandon for the night and maybe find someone…anyone. That part kept her quiet cause she knew they did it because she did want to do this. So taking a breath, she put her hand on both of their hands and smiled.

"Right, you're the one who forced these heels on me so you're gonna be my crutches and make sure I make it to the club in one piece!" Bella demanded as she looked at her best friends.

They giggled and walked along. In few minutes they made it outside and they all got into Rosalie's red BMW, with Rosalie letting her go to be at the front seat.

Quickly Alice and Bella strapped themselves in with the seatbelts before Rosalie zoomed past. Bella was pretty sure that she was breaking the speed limit but didn't even bother speaking up because she knew her friend. Rosalie was stubborn.

Unsurprisingly, because of the actual speed Rosalie was driving, they reached New Moon in a quick twenty minutes. Once they were parked, Alice and Rosalie got out instantly. Bella rolled her eyes but carefully got out of the car and steadily made her pace until she caught up with them.

By the time she had made it to the cute she got the view of Alice and Rosalie making eyes at the bouncer. Rosalie had her hand on the guy's shoulder, she ran it up and down as she fluttered her eyes. Bella simply shook her head. Sometimes she envied Rosalie's beauty, she was so beautiful that she would always use it to get what she wants and it always worked. And she knew it would work again no matter how much the bouncer tried to resist. And Bella was right. It worked like a charm. After barely seconds the bouncer opened the door and they all cut in the line, getting inside the club.

As soon as she entered the club Bella was attacked by the utter chaos inside it, the smell of heat and people overwhelming her. It was overwhelmingly loud, with the music blaring and people talking all around. The whole club seemed to be under a haze of red. The walls were crimson blood and it was spacious. Even the lighting was red, making it seemed as if she walked into a sea of red. There were laser lights and the DJ could be spotted in the upper deck. In the corners there were leather sofas around and on the right corner there was the bar which was already packed. Because of how many people were actually there, Bella couldn't even spot the stools.

"Wow…now this is gorgeous!" Alice screeched in excitement. Rosalie hummed in agreement as well while Bella had her eyes on the leather sofa.

"Right girls, we are single and ready to mingle. Let's find some hot guys to spend the night away!" Rosalie declared loudly at which Alice agreed. They all then started to pull her towards the dance floor but Bella resisted. At this the girls immediately looked at Bella.

"Bella…now what? We are already here!" Alice asked, looking at her with annoyance.

"I know, I know but I need some liquid courage before I can even attempt any dancing in these heels" she pointed at her shoes "So I'm gonna get some drinks. Do you guys want any drinks?"

"Just get us some shots Bella" Rosalie stated.

Bella nodded and turned to stumble her way to the bar, watching out for the crowd of bodies around her. She was a klutz, but she couldn't afford to fall in this club otherwise she'd be clobbered with all the people. It took her a while but after she reached the bar she ordered herself 4 shots. It was a fight itself to actually order the drinks. Luckily being short actually had an advantage in this situation. She had no problem shoving people to get in front and once she had the shots she drank 2 shots, grabbed Rose and Alice's and then started to carefully make her way there. She made it around the sofa area where they had left the girls but her stomach dropped when she noticed that the girls were gone.

She sighed. Some friends they were. They made her get drinks and just went off without even waiting for her. A part of her wasn't even surprised. Rolling her eyes she looked at the drinks thoughtfully.

"Ah fuck it!" Bella drank the remaining 2 shots and dropped the glasses on the floor. However, she realised too late that she shouldn't have done that, she shouldn't have rushed the drunks. She usually didn't drink as much so having 4 shots, especially two in a row made her dizzy. She felt a bit woozy, her mind itself felt wooly and she felt faint. With horror running through her, she felt faint and lost control of her legs, fully stumbling over.

She was falling.

Bella closed her eyes, she didn't want to witness her own humiliation.

'God, I have the worst luck' the thought ran through her mind as she waited to hit the sticky ground.

She waited but instead of hitting the floor she felt two strong arms going around her waist and pulling her up. Instinctively she wrapped her arms around the body which caught her and her heart stuttered as she noted that her arms were around very strong shoulders and rather cold neck.

Feeling even further humiliated that she got saved by someone, she opened her eyes and froze. Her eyes met the brightest shade of green she had ever seen. It was an evergreen jade that was staring intently at her. And those eyes were framed by a gorgeous face as well. He had a beautiful, bronze kissed tousled hair that looked like a gorgeous yet gravity defying bed hair. It made her itch to run her hands through it as she wondered if it was as soft as it looked. He had a fair, pale complexion. The fairest she had ever seen, almost albino. And his face, his structure…it appeared as if he had been sculpted too perfection. And that perfection had its arm around her, looking at her with a breath-taking smirk that had her further weaker on her knees. She lost control again but he pulled her up, this time pulling her closer to him until her nose was right on his.

Bella looked down with a blush and then reality crushed in. She was invading this man's face who just rescued her. Realising that she was taking advantage of this Greek Adonis she immediately pushed him back and looked at him with embarrassment.

"I am so so sorry! I…I'm just a klutz and I've just embarrassed myself so I am so so sorry!" she bowed, apologising and hiding her face. She looked up to look at his eyes and saw that there was amusement in his eyes.

"Trust me…I don't mind. It's very enlightening to meet you. I'm enchanted…." He stated as he looked at her. His voice twinkling like a bell while also being deep. Her heart skipped a beat again as he got close. He was just pure perfection. Sounding like a gentlemen and looking like that. The thought of sleeping around came up again but her self esteem knew a gorgeous man like this was way out of her league. She might as well take the step herself and go before he does. So she gave him a smile.

"Thank you anyway. I'm gonna go and just leave you to enjoy!" she looked up at him while biting her lip before she shook her head and booked it out of there. With her being so intent to leave she missed out the frown on his face.

Enchanted…she was the one who was completely enchanted. He was utterly gorgeous. If only she was more beautiful to be on the same league. But she knew herself. So trying to forget the adonis, she looked at the sea of people dancing. A look in the throngs of crowd further and she spotted Alice and Rose in the dance floor. Both were dancing with a partner and they were grinding away.

"I hate that they can do this so easily" Bella stated with a sigh.

She was so lost in her thoughts of misery that she didn't spot the tanned dark haired boy coming up to her until she felt a strong arm going around her and the smell of alcohol hit her. Eyes wide she looked to her side to spot a familiar dark brown eyes.

"Jacob!"

She hadn't seen Jacob in years. They used to be childhood friends in Forks but since she left home to get big she hadn't seen him. She knew that he had a crush on her, that was obvious so she never felt that way. But she had hoped that he got over it. It clearly wasn't the case, that was the feeling she got when he pulled her closer, flush against his chest.

"Jacob, you're invading my space!" Bella put her arms on his chest to push him back. From the smell of alcohol she could tell that he was hammered. "Get. Off! You're pissed." she shouted and tried to push back.

But he wouldn't move. Instead, to her horror, he pushed her hard against the wall and caged her against it. Her heart started beating fast. She didn't like this.

"Jacob stop!" She tried to push him again but this time he caught her hands and held it above her with one arm. While his other one trailed over her leg. Her cries fell on deaf ears as he started kissing her neck, licking and biting it.

"You've certainly grown up to be even hotter…" he slurred as be sucked her neck.

"No stop…don't you dare!" Bella started panicking. Anger was burning through her but now real fear was inside her. She tried to pull her hands but he held it stronger while pushing himself on her. She didn't even have space to move. Just then she felt his hands brushing against her panties. Immediately she let out a scream.

Suddenly, like lightning, Jacob was off her as if he was yanked away. Hearts hammering and full of adrenalin, Bella fell to the floor. She was out of energy and in shock. Now that she was safe she wrapped her arms around herself. She was safe. She was safe. Whispering that to herself she managed to gather wits to reluctantly look up. She had to check that Jacob was gone.

It was then she witnessed why Jacob had been pulled off her. Jacob was lying on the floor while the green eyed adonis she had seen before was towering over him.

"If you touch her again I will destroy you!" he growled angrily.

Bella's eyes went wide at the protectiveness but she felt safe. If he hadn't come…She shook her head, she didn't want to think about it. Her eyes focused on them again just in time to see some bouncers pick Jacob up and go out of sight. It was then while she was staring at him did he look at her, catching her eyes in a lock.

"You're my saviour of the night…" Bella stated nervously as she wrapped her arms tight around herself. He let out a smile and walked up to her. Towering over her.

He let out a hand. Bella looked at it contemplatively. She didn't know how she felt about closeness at the moment but he exuded safety. And she needed a bit of that.

She took his hand.
