Can't Take It. Need Space!

I never thought I would see the day. The day when Edward would find someone, anyone. And they've been together for two years going on now. And no, she's my sister in law. How do I even begin to describe her? It's not as hard as it seems. I mean she's sweet and she's, ya know, new at this whole "being together in a relationship" thing so I get it. But boy, has she taken over my life all right. Everything is about Bella! Bella this, Bella that, Carly, come take your valuable time and spend it on Bella! Really? I mean, come on! I'm a teenager! I need to have fun. Well teenager/vampire. But still! Anyways, she is pregnant. Pregnant! I didn't think my brother had it in him. Well, then again, there are a lot of things that I really don't understand about my brother.

But Bella, boy is she dumb! Her and my brother are now having a baby that is HALF VAMPIRE! She is so incredibly dumb because it's killing her. It is legitimately killing her. And Bella wants this thing to be alive instead of her. Is she that much of an idiot to put my brother, Edward, through this? What about her father, Charlie? What about her mother Rene? What about my sister, Alice? What about Edward? Edward looks like he is gonna kill him self! He feels that this is his fault. I swear, is everyone in my family an idiot, or is it just me?

"Carly, can you please get me some blood for Bella?" Edward asked, pain thick in his voice. You could hear it. All the time. Everytime he talked, pain was always there, sticking to his voice.

"It's Charlie," I responded angrily. I changed my name four months ago to Charlie; FOUR! And only Carlisle, my adoptive father, calls me that, "Sure it's not like I don't have a life of my own. Why not?" I said sarcastically.

"Just shut up and get the damn blood!" Rose yelled. Rosalie is another one of my various sisters. But Rosalie...Rosalie is the biggest damn jerk in the world. She is the meanest girl I've ever met. She absolutely used to despise Bella and we used to be close. But now that Rose knows that she is having a baby, she's Team Bella. One of these days Rosalie is gonna get it. One, for not supporting us when we told Bella that if she doesn't get that thing out of her, she will die; two, for being the meanest vampire since the Volturi; and three, cause she deserves it!

"I'm so happy I am going to that party tonight! I don't have to deal with you guys!" I yelled. I wanted them to feel the pain of missing me. I haven't been out of the house for three weeks, except when I go hunting. I care about Bella, a lot, but I had to get out. Fast. They were holding me hostage! It's the middle of the summer and I haven't been able to go anywhere. This should be against the law. Teens should be able to be free during the summer, not locked up in their houses!

"Wait, you said you would help us watch Bella, incase we have to go help Carlisle!" Edward yelled back. What was he saying? I never made an agreement with any of them! I swear this family was going to drive me insane.

"No, I told you that I was going to a party with Manny, Emma, and Marco. Why can't Alice help?" I pleaded.

"Never mind. If you don't care about Bella-," Edward pushed.

"I NEVER SAID THAT!" I yelled, getting aggravated. I hate when he gill trips me.

"Alright, so you will help us?"

"No, I promised them I would go! Please Edward! I never get to do anything around here!" They were not making me give up my freedom tonight!

"I'll watch her," a deep voice said. Who said that? And whoever it was has a very nice deep voice.

"No, Jacob it's okay. You don't have to," Edward said, thoughtfully. Who was Edward talking to? What's a Jacob? I think that is one of the friends of Bella's who I'm not allowed to see or meet. I heard it was because he gets very mad and disgusted by vampires. Plus I'm a "magnet to trouble", so I would make him even more upset. This was what I was told, but I kind of beg to differ. He seems like a sweetheart.

"S'kay. I want to make sure she okay," that beautiful voice said again.

"Yeah, please Edward? I want Jacob to stay and help," Bella moaned with the energy that she still had. Wow, I think this is the famous Jacob. See, Bella is also in love with Jacob, but not as much as she loves my brother. This girl is a mess.

There were times that I hated her because of what happened. She stole my brother. He hardly talks to me anymore, but I have to love her like a sister. I mean, she took over his life, my life, my whole family's life, and SHE doesn't even care. And then she runs off with this Jacob kid specifically after he says 'Please don't go there I don't want you to get hurt' and she basically replies, everytime, "Screw you."

"Maybe. Let's just get that blood for you. Carly, hurry up! And you know that's not true," Edward said.

"Edward, you know it's true," I said in my head. Edward is a mind reader. It was a package he got along with the vampire deal. It gets so annoying though, because you can't have any secrets with him, ever. My other sister, Alice, she has a gift to, she can see into the future, but she doesn't necessarily search to see the future, it just sort of happens to her.

"Call me Carly one more time Edward and I will put you into a coma! And stay the hell out of my head," I growled. He tends to always search into my head because I'm a "trouble maker."

"Can you just get the blood please?" Edward begged. He was losing patience.

"One sec, I'll be right down with the blood." I ran into Alice's room to find her with Jazz, kissing. EW! "Uh, sorry. Alice I need to borrow a dress. I have a party in like five minutes." It was so awkward. Jasper was another one of my brothers. He was extremely quiet. He also has a talent to control emotions.

"Sure, one second," Alice cheered. Alice used me as a mannequin. She is what you called a hard core fashonista. Alice could have been a fashion designer. When it comes to fashion, she is amazing. She should own her own shopping mall. I walked down the stairs getting the blood.

"Thanks Al- Oh, hey. You must be the famous Jake," I stuttered. O-M-G, if you were here, you would have said the same thing. If you were to see this guy, you would have understood my facial expression. Emmet looked like he was about to die of laughter because no one needed to read minds to hear what I was thinking. Jacob, his muscles were amazing! We knew Edward was thinking that Jacob better watch himself, but I hope he doesn't.

"Um, yeah. Bloodsucker, I didn't know you had three sisters?" he said without his eyes leaving mine. I was giggling and smiling like an idiot probably.

"Who let the dog in?" Rose whined. I wish I could smack Rose. She was always so prejudice against other vampires or any other immortal species. The only good quality about Rosalie was that she was amazing at make up and doing hair. And that was exactly why I was coming down stairs. So I put on a nice smile when she walked in the room.

"Hi, I'm Charlie, Charlie Cullen. I'm not really home a lot, so you probably haven't seen me around here. Except for these days considering it's like a Nazi camp in here. I'm either at a party or I'm just not home. I get so bored here all the time. Plus, some people are very over protective so I don't get to participate in any fights and wars; even though I am very strong," I glared at Edward and Emmet. Emmet was the last of my siblings. He was the funniest and the best of my brothers. He was my favorite out of all of my siblings. Emmet was the male version of me. He was sarcastic and mean and aggressive. That's all me right there.

"Well, it's very nice to meet you. I'm Jacob, Jacob black. But you could call me Jake," he smiled. It warmed my frozen heart and I felt it starting to defrost.

"Carly, I need that blood," Edward said, getting aggravated.

"IT IS CHARLIE! I hate the name Carly, why don't you get a marker and write it on your hand so that you can remember; since you can't remember any other way. Here, take the freakin' blood. I'm sorry about my brother, he's...Edward. What are ya gonna do about it, you know? Can't choose your family," I laughed. And then he smiled. All the ice on my heart broke off. I though I actually heard it beating, "Um...er... Alice, I need that...um...my...that...dress," I stuttered again. I was probably acting like such an idiot.

"How about the purple one? It looked great on you last time you wore it," she yelled from upstairs. I don't understand why she was yelling even though I have vampire hearing considering I'm a vampire. It sounded like she was yelling into my ear.

"Yeah, I like that one, and Rose, can you do my hair?" I asked, smiling my little over growing smile. I heard Edward cough and my eyes ran to Jacob. He was BLUSHING! I think I might have a heart attack. Why was this boy having such an affect on me?

"I'm watching Be-," Edward cut her off.

"Go ahead rose, I'll watch Bella, go fix her hair. It takes you two seconds anyway," he whispered. Edward sounded like he just jumped into a fire. I felt so bad for him to deal with this.

"Okay... Do anything, I will kill you!" Rosalie growled. She really wanted that child.

"Please Rose?" I was getting impatient. I started to bounce a little on the stairs waiting for her.

"I'm coming," she growled back. Apparently, she was a little resistant from me today.

Rosalie couldn't resist doing my hair and she knew it, but she was afraid Bella would change her mind to get the baby out of her. I know Alice would see that, but Bella is very stubborn and undeceive. If she were to change her mind, she could change it in a second.

I know this is totally selfish, but Jacob is on my mind now. I wanted to figure out who he was, what he was like, his hobbies. I was trying to think, but Edward didn't like that I was thinking about him.

'If you don't like it,' I thought,' then don't listen to my thoughts.' I changed my thoughts any way, though. I could see he was getting very frustrated. I wonder what Manny and Emma were wearing; I hope I'm not too dressy, I mean it is the party of the year. Manny and Emma were my best friends. They've been my best friends since before I was a vampire. They new, among with some other people. But not many. Carlisle and the family trust them as do I. They help me with everything, even sometimes my vampire problems. Like when I first met Edward, I had a crush on him. I mean, have you seen the man? He's pretty good looking, but of course, Bella came along. The funniest thing though, is that my friends were all obsessed with my family because they were all just so...gorgeous. It made me smile to know that people thought I was gorgeous too.

There was three gentle taps on the door. They were here. Someone opened the door because I heard Manny's heart race. It was probably Jasper who she was crazy in love with. Rosalie just finished my hair. She straightened it and put a cute little purple bow. She smiled to her self and let me go. I slipped the dress on the dress, and of course Alice took out her camera and I posed once. She kept like scrap books of me in all of her dresses.

"Hey, is Charlie ready yet?" I heard Manny ask. She sounded a little flustered as she bored into Jasper's eyes.

"Sure, one second Manny," Jasper answered. I ran down the stairs. Jacob stared at me for like ten minutes. Edward growled.

"Hey, Manny!" I squealed. I haven't seen Manny in so long. She looked so pretty. She had on a dark blue dress that went just above her knees, and ruffles on the bottom. She had on matching blue heels and her hair was curled. When we were younger, me and Manny use to look exactly alike. But since I'm extremely pale, that concept has gone away. But my Spanish looks have not gone away. I'm half Quileute Indian and half Columbian. Boy did I look Spanish, though. My native American didn't show much.

"You look great! Your dress is amazing!" Manny smiled. We were so excited.

"So is yours! You look like a princess!" I giggled. I heard Jacob's laugh in the background and a shiver flew down my spine.

She laughed, "Did you know there are humungous wolves out side of your house?" She said, a little frightened.

"Don't worry, Manny. They're not going to eat you, I promise. I think they are helping us in some shape or form," I said.

"Yes, we are," Jacob said, "We are actually protecting this house from any intruders. I hope they didn't startle you outside," he worried. If I was human, which thank god I wasn't, I would have blushed like crazy. He was nothing like the guys told me he was. He was really sweet.

"No, we were fine," Manny said, drool coming out of her mouth. He looked down at me and smiled, and I think I melted. He was oh...so...such...GORGEOUS. He was so much taller than me, too! There were no words for him.

Suddenly, Edward yelled, "Enough! Go Carly! Just go!" He started to shake a little, so me and Manny ran out of the house. As soon as Jacob closed the door, I heard yelling. Edward yelling.

We were on our way to Emma's car when Manny wouldn't stop smiling at me. What was her problem? My brother just yelled at me and she was smiling? What the hell?

"What?" I asked.

"You like him!" she screamed. The whole house probably heard her.

"I just met the kid!" I argued.

"Love at first sight."

"Oh, go eat a cow."

"So you do!" Manny pushed.

"We are gonna be late," Emma said, jumping out the car, "Will you two please get-wait, what happened?"

"She likes another guy and she is not admitting it."

"Jeez, Manny, shut your freakin' gob okay?" I yelled, getting aggravated.

"WHAT? IT'S BEEN SIX YEARS SINCE YOU HAVE EVEN LOOKED AT A GUY; AND SAID THAT HE IS CUTE! This like big news here! But we will talk about it in the car, common you guys, we are gonna be late and Jimmy will hate us! Except for Charlie, of course," Emma laughed.

"Yeah, Manny, please common, don't- wow, look at Charlie!" Marco was shouted out the window. I laughed to myself and did a little pose for them.

"Charlie, sit in the back with Marco," said Emma, always taking charge.

"Okay," I said, feeling a little better. I wasn't going to get into a fight over a guy. I have to remember to keep my temper. I laid my head on Marco's shoulder.

"So what is his name?" Emma pressed.

"Who?" I asked, trying to seem like I didn't know what she was talking about. The funniest part though, is the fact that I kind of do like him. He was...flawless. And Quileute Indian! He has it all.

"The kid you like."

"I don't like him! I just met Jacob." Boy, did I regret saying that.

"Oh, so his name is Jacob! That's a hot name. Did you see those muscles on him?" Manny yelled, sounding like a two year old. I was about to tuck and role out of the car. Then I remembered the way Manny was looking at him, and I got a little jealous.

I guess Manny saw my expression because she stopped talking, and Emma followed. The car ride was silent. The only sound was the music. But as you probably know someone had to break the silence, sort of like a tradition. But I don't know who it was going to be. Usually it was Marco or Emma. But neither of them were breaking it, though. I guess they were waiting for someone else, and it was dead silent in the car. It was creeping me out. I had to break the silence.

"So...Emma, who are you dating?"

"I already told you that I am dating Shawn. What about you?"

"I know-," Manny started.

"Manny, don't start," I whined.

"Would you tell me that you liked him if you did?"

"I like him, but only his looks. I don't know how he acts. Remember when Paige dated Spinner last year, and Spinner turned out to be a total jerk. I don't want that to happen to me. I want him to ask me out so bad, though!"

"What?" They all said it at once. I thought for a second that Emma was going to pull over on the side of the road.

"CHILL! What, am I not allowed to want to go on a date? I kept thinking and thinking about it, and you could see Edward was getting pissed. And Jacob kept blushing. It was all just so perfect. I mean, maybe it was because he is a werewolf. Maybe something could happen...because I know my cousin Seth and his sister Leah are pretty aggressive werewolves and scary people when they transform."

"He is a werewolf?"Marco yelled, sounding scared.

"Yeah. But he does seem like a really nice person. This is the friend I was telling you about, Bella's friend, that's him. "

"I wish I could have seen him," Marco said, getting upset.

"Whatever happened to Dylan?" I laughed. His expression was just hilarious.

"I just want to see him. Jeez. You should get to know him."

"Maybe he'll be just like you?" Manny smiled.

"If he is, that would be amazing because then I will definitely date him," I moaned. We all laughed at the same time at my reaction. This man was just too much! Well, he looked like a man. A big man. I was almost tempted to lick my lips.

It was true. If this guy was exactly like me, then I would fall madly in love with him. I think I'm going to talk to him one of these days and just...get to know him. Maybe we will get closer. Maybe closer than I think. The scary part was that I wanted to get close. I felt like I needed to. What was happening to me? Why can't I stop thinking about him? What about Jake kept me hooked onto him? Now this was getting freaky! I don't want to become a stalker or anything. I think I should just ask Bella about him and get it over with. It would be easier in two ways. One, Edward can't read her mind. Two, Jacob wouldn't really find out cause me and Bella were close.

We were almost there at the party. I should leave early. I couldn't think how I would ask Jimmy when the party is over. I hope he doesn't think that I want to leave because I don't like him. I just felt bad that I left Bella there without a non-maniac vampire. Well, Jacob isn't a vampire and maybe he is a non-maniac like me-'STOP IT!' I told my self. I have to stop thinking about him.

"Wait, what were you saying about something might happen?" Emma said, worry crawling into her eyes. I could see them through the review mirror.

"It's nothing Em, it's okay," I said, trying to calm her down.

A few more minutes past and I was still thinking how I was going to ask Jimmy. I should just casually bring it up in a deep conversation or something. Yeah that's what I should do. What even harder is just that, he likes me. A lot. And he makes it so obvious. And I feel so bad. I mean, I like him too, it's just...the whole vampire/human thing doesn't work for me. Ugh, this is going to be harder than I thought. Maybe I could ask Emma to do it for me. Or Marco! Yes I would ask Marco to- oh no! We were here already! I have to hurry up and ask Marco.

"Marco!" I yelled before he escaped

"Yeah? Charlie, what's-"

"Marco, hey what's up buddy?" my friend Spinner yelled. Did Spinner really have to do that?

"Hey Spin! I'm good. What about you..." I heard him say as they faded away. Ugh! Now what was I supposed to do? Maybe I could ask Paige to do it? No I couldn't ask Paige. I owed her already for helping me break up with J.T. CRAP! Maybe she already forgot about it. I mean it has been five years.

We walked into Jimmy's house and everyone looked amazing! It was as if Alice walked into the place and dressed everyone. Already Manny was eyeing Craig. What else is new? They have been dating for quite a while. Emma was looking for Sean.

I can't believe Sean is in a wheelchair! Sean was shot during a school shooting by this psycho kid. I couldn't believe it. Alice wouldn't let me save him. I hated it. She knew it was going to happen. I feel as if it was yesterday. See, last year, the psycho kid, Ryan, came back to school. He went to therapy and everything for couple abuse because he put my best friend in a coma. So when he came back, people started making fun of him. He became psycho again and brought a gun to school. The real bully said that Sean was the one making fun of him. And he shot him right in the back. When I heard what happened, I didn't talk to Alice for weeks. She kept saying it was his natural path, I said that was a load of crap. At least he isn't in one forever. He only had a few more months.

Anyway, they are still together. Emma comforts him when ever she can. Though, it's astounding that they are still going out. I thought something would happen. It happened before. Either they got into a fight cause of something stupid Sean did or they got into a fight for something Emma wouldn't do. They were always like that. It was sort of like something out of a book; she was the good girl, and he was the rebel.

"Whoa, look, the spot light of the party finally arrived," Paige said. I reacted like I was startled so that I would look more human. Now, there is something about Paige that is just so interesting that keeps me close to her. I think it's her drama. We've been friends since I started coming here. She loved my style. But she was always jealous of me and Manny because we had the party gene in our system. We also had the perfect hair.

"Hey, you look great," I said, trying to flatter her.

"Thanks, but you look amazing!"

"Not really. You look better," I pushed. I batted my eyelashes.

"What do you want you little troublemaker?" she whined.

"Paige, I need you to tell Jimmy that I have to leave early."

"Ha! You wish."

"Please! I need you to. I don't want him to hate me. Although, I think he already does."

"Have you seen Jimmy? Hun, he is crazy for you! It's as if he really needs you. The problem is that he also likes Hazel. I don't think he truly loves her, thought. The way he loves you anyway."

"Thanks. Like that helps. But still can you please?"

"No. If I do, then you never will be able to stop asking me for help or to back you out of something. Plus you owe me."

"Fine! Ugh!" I moaned. Paige was being totally unfair, but she was right, "Do you know where he is then?"

"Yeah, he is in the kitchen. I think he is waiting at the window for you," she laughed. I was going to kill Paige for that. Did she know how dangerous it was to insult a vampire? I think I should show her. But not here. I would do it later where no one was there. That would make me laugh even harder than me laughing when we found out Bella was pregnant, and that was pretty funny.

"Thanks," I mumbled. I felt bad leaving the party, and then I felt bad leaving Bella alone without me. Besides, Bella wasn't that bad. I kept thinking of ways to tell him. And I was so thirsty. So that's also why. I had to hunt or about seven people would be in great danger. I know who would be first. Alex, she was the human version of Rosalie, except Rosalie worse! They could be twins if the wanted to. Alex was one of the school bully's that also made fun of that psycho kid all the time. She was the one who almost got killed because I was going to kill her. She has hell to pay.

I walked into the kitchen. Jimmy looked pretty hot. He was wearing a button down shirt and jeans. He smelled...almost delectable. Wow, was I thirsty. I don't think I was ever this thirsty.

"Hey, you made it! You look...beautiful," he blushed. Jimmy looked like he was so happy and excited to see me like a five year old locked in an ice cream shop for three days. I guess Paige was right. He was standing right by the kitchen window. You would think he was obsessed!

Jimmy was always the one to throw the parties. And the best ones! His parents were both lawyers, and extremely rich. He always got to go to good concerts, and plays, and get everything before it comes out.

"Aw, thanks. And yeah, the party is a real hit! Hey...uh...when does the party end because, well Bella need me, and I'm really, really thirst?" He stared straight into my eyes, and I could see he was a little frightened. I guess my eyes were black.

"Oh, um..."

"I'm sorry Jimmy, you know I love to party, and you are the bestest friend anyone could ever have, it's just that Bella needs me. And I could kill someone if I don't fix this problem. Which honestly, wouldn't be a bad thing," we laughed.

"No, it's okay. Don't apologize. Well its 9 o'clock right now so it ends in three hours."

"Will you hate me if I leave at 11 o'clock?"

"Of course not! Dude, I'm not like Paige. It's okay I totally understand," he said, laughing.

"Thanks. You're an amazing friend," I smiled. I kissed him on the cheek. I heard his pulse go up immediately. Crap! How could I be so stupid? That was the worst thing to do. I was giving him hints. I liked him, too, a lot. But I couldn't I wasn't ready for that. I didn't feel comfortable dating Jimmy. He knew that I was a vampire and that it would be dangerous for us to date. He was okay with that. But I also knew that he wasn't gonna give up. Love is a battlefield, that's what I always say.

"Come and dance," screamed Marco. Marco was amazing, although he was gay, he is like the sister that I never had. I laughed to myself. He was always there when I needed him. Marco always comforted me if my brother would lash out on me, or even when there was a huge event that evolved around Bella, I would vent to him. When ever there was a huge event, my family acted as if the whole world revolved around Bella and that the world was going to end if they didn't fix it. I hated it, and Marco always understood that. He was truly my best friend.

"I'm coming!" I yelled, giggling. Marco was also a party person. He loved to go to parties or even school dances. We would dance until we were dead. Well, until he was dead tired, I technically am dead already.

"What time is it now?" I asked cautiously after it felt like I've been there for three hours. That wasn't good. I was supposed to leave in two hours. I was trying to keep time so that I can get home to make sure Bella was okay before she fell asleep.

"It's only 10:10. You got to get into the party."

"I know, I just feel bad leaving Bella with my freakazoid of a sister, and nervous wreck of a brother. She needs a normal person there."

"How is your brother holding up?"

"Marco, if you were to see him today, I felt so bad. He is blaming all of this on him self. I feel like this is kind of my fault. This would have never happened if I didn't ..."I started. I'm so stupid sometimes! I thought about the night that Edward asked me what to do. He was so scared. He usually went to Alice for this stuff. Why he went to me? No idea. He never told me.

"If you didn't what?"

"If I didn't tell Edward to kiss her! I take full responsibility for all of this. For the marriage. For the baby. I feel-" If I was human, I would be crying, because I felt terrible.

"You don't take any responsibility for any of it. Charlie, they had strong feelings with each other. That isn't your fault," he said, rubbing my arm, trying to comfort me.

"Charlie, you got a phone call. It's your brother, Edward," Jimmy called over the crowd. Uh oh. What happened? Was Bella okay? I ran to the phone.

"Thanks Jimmy. Hello?"

"I need you to come home. The baby is breaking Bella's ribs. On your way, I need you to get Carlisle and tell him to bring a little bit more blood."

"Alright. I'll be right there." I hung up the phone and sighed. It was breaking her bones? What the hell was up with this freakin' creature feature? This is not good. This thing was killing my brother, my sister in law, and me. Bella was like the weird sister I never had. She was reckless, idiotic, and the WORST liar in the world, but I loved her, and I wasn't going to let her die.

"Jimmy, I got to go. Things are really bad with Bella. I'll call you if anything," I yelled and ran out of his house. I ripped off the pumps Alice gave me, and ran at full vampire speed to Carlisle's office.

I felt bad for her and my brother. I think Rose should really be helping Edward. Why did she have to be so self absorbed? The thing is that Edward won't make Bella do anything. I would strap her down to a table and take that thing out of her. One of these days I am going to do that and Edward better help out. Maybe Jacob would help... I am ridiculous! As I run home to see my sick sister-in-law, the only thing I could think about is Jacob Black. Is Carlisle's office to the left or the- oh, yeah the right.
