Hello little lovelies, here is the first chapter of another new story. I own nothing except new characters and ideas, this fanfic starts off during New Moon. I make no money from writing and all rights go to the rightful owners. I'll be taking a break from my story Wilted, I just lost interest but will hopefully pick it back up soon since I plan to rewatch some episodes of ouat.
I stood with Bella, tomorrow was her birthday and god did that piss her right off. "Bella, you're overthinking this. Edward is hundreds of years older than you and eventually you will be changed. Even if Edwards decides against it."
"I know." She bit the inside of her cheek, "He wouldn't be happy with me going to the Volturi though. He might hate me."
"You worry so much. He could never hate you, he worships the ground you walk on. But I wasn't talking about the Volturi, I know people who will change you; people I grew up with." Her eyes lit up as I told her this, "But no we are not going right now and if you suggest it I'm throwing you out of that goddamn window."
A weak smile tugged at the corners of her lips, "You still haven't old me how you know all of this stuff, what your story is…" she changed the subject.
"One day I will, for now I promised to keep very hush-hush about it." I shrugged, "It's nothing too special."
"More special than being an aging human." She grumbled in response. I shook my head as I laughed, Bella has changed so much since I had met her last year. She was shy, impressionable, and scared. But with help and encouragement, from yours truly, she's blossomed and come to learn how strong she could be. She didn't stumble over her words as much, although she still was very socially anxious. But that's okay, I was here to help her when the outside world became too much.
We sat together in silence eating pizza and watching reruns of Friends episodes, seemingly too soon Charlie arrived home and disturbed us from our vegetative state. "Have you two even moved since I left this morning?" he questioned, it was easy to tell he didn't care much that we hadn't; he was just trying to act like a stereotypical parent I guess.
"Yeah, we had to pay for the pizzas" I yawned and stretched my stiff limbs. "What time is it anyway?"
He huffed as he checked his watch, "10:30" he threw his jacket on his recliner. "School tomorrow. Time for you to go Andy." He tried to sound stern but ended up sounding awkward and uncomfortable. I smiled and grabbed my bag, giving both Charlie and Bella a hug before heading to the place I was staying. A simple motel room. Bella didn't like it much that I literally lived in a motel room at the moment. And for the past year. But I didn't mind much.
"Stop walking" sighing as I turned around, there stood none other than Sam Uley.
"What do you want this time?" I impatiently questioned, "I'm not going with you, I don't care about your legends. They're not who I am. None of you even know where to trace me back to. There's no hope in finding anything. Just give up." I turned and started walking as I talked.
"We did find something though, it's something small but it's a start. You are needed to figure this out."
"I doubt. But sure, tomorrow I'll be right over after Bella's party." He was gone as the words left my mouth. With a roll of my eyes I finished the long walk and let myself fall onto the bed.
Eventually I pulled myself up and showered, taking my time and definitely not making a Mohawk out of my short hair. And definitely not acting out scenes from The Outsiders because there is no way I'm absolutely obsessed with old movies and greasers. God. I'm a loser. I sighed to myself as I let the warm water rinse the green tea smelling soap from hair and exfoliated my face. Afterwards I slipped into a baggy shirt and passed out.
Next day
"Andy! Get up!" It was Bella, her face frantic. "We're going to be late if you don't get your butt up."
"My butt doesn't want to get up." I grumbled but let her pull me from the mess of blankets I had created. Quickly I dressed then fixed my hair and but on a tad bit of makeup. "Let's go" I smiled as she gave me a death glare.
"You're lucky I brought you cold pizza" she stuck her tongue out at me.
"Hell yeah I am. Let's get our asses to school."
On the drive to the hell we were confined to for the next year or so we ate cold pizza and rambled about things that didn't matter.
"Ya know…" she started, hesitating, "I was thinking about maybe cutting all my hair off, like yours…"
"Oh fuck yeah, do it. Go back to the motel and I'll do it right now!" I was ecstatic, she had been musing the idea for quite some time; she hated having long hair. She admitted it never felt quite right, that it was a little too feminine for her.
"I don't know." She shrugged and laughed nervously, "What if I look bad? And I think Edward likes my long hair better…what if he can't stand how I look with it shorter?"
"I swear it's like you want me to punch you." I scoffed, "Doesn't matter what the hell he prefers, what matters is how you feel and the acceptance you're learning to give yourself. He's your mate, he loves you and therefore will love you when you change to better yourself. He'll be proud of you."
She gulped and gripped the steering wheel tighter as she parked, "I don't know…I need to think more…"
"Don't sweat it, just let me know when you're ready." We grabbed our things and headed into school, "I have to go tutor that freshman, I'll see you soon" I smiled, I didn't have as many classes as she did so I tutored in my spare time. As I passed Alice I handed her my gift for Bella.
"It's not wrapped!" she huffed.
"Adorable" I laughed, "I can't wrap for shit, I get too distracted with the ribbons."
"Typical cat" she narrowed her tawny eyes, "I'll wrap it for you, she'll love it though."
And then came lunch, Alice had assured me she had polished the glass and thought it was a very good idea I took many precautions to make sure if the globe was dropped or knocked over it would not be broken. I passed out for the few minutes I could.
Alice was the one who took pride in shaking me awake, "You have one more class, stop taking cat naps."
"Everyone wants me to punch them today, dear fucking Christ." I moaned as I stomped off with Bella to whatever class was next, I barely cared.
