chapter 1
Alice POV
"Are you sure?" Bella asked me with a concerned look on her face.
Thoughts raced through my head, memories of things that hadn't even happened yet, I smiled to myself. Then looked up at bella.
"Of course I'm sure Bella, try and remember who you are talking to."
The look still hadn't left her face, I knew Bella and Bella knew me. We were best friends and sisters. She looked like she was about to speak but paused, then she finally decided to say what was on her mind.
"Its just Edward is being so protective of you, I suppose it just makes me feel like he has some reason but maybe he's just being your brother, I do trust that you know what you're doing Alice and I'll support you...it just Jasper isn't one of us and I know I'd being a hypocrite because when I met Edward I wasn't either, I just have this bad feeling."
I wasn't expecting her to say so much but I'm glad she did. I thought for a second and then decided to tell her exactly how I was feeling.
"I don't know why Bella, but I just know that there is some reason why I have to know Jasper, he might be human or whatever but I don't feel like he's normal, there is something I just haven't figured out yet... and remember how everyone warned you off Edward, even Edward himself but you just knew that he wouldn't hurt you? You just knew you couldn't stay away? Well I just know that I can't either."
When I finished talking Bella seemed convinced that I knew what I was doing. She smiled and nodded and without saying anything I knew my comment about her and Edward had made her understand where I was coming from.
Emmett stormed into the room "warning, incoming pissed of rose."
"I heard that dickhead" said rose as she entered the room.
Rose was known to be the most beautiful woman in the entire room, no vampire couldn't be beautiful. But it wasn't natural beauty that we all held, it was something else. It was that we were different in a way that no human could understand. And rose had a vibe coming off her that said she could crush anyone that tried to out stand her in beauty.
"Where the fuck are my god damned shoes??" she asked as she stared right at me.
I wondered why the blame always went to me when pieces of clothing went missing, why not Bella? Then I remembered not only did Bella not really care what she wore, she wouldn't be game enough to take anything of Rosalie's.
But this time it really wasn't me.
Emmett was backed up against the wall like he was afraid of his own wife, but I don't blame him much.
Then Edward walked into the room. He looked at everyone and turned to rose and said "none of them know what the hell you're talking about so maybe you actually just misplaced them?"
Rose turned around and looked at him with fury in her eyes. Emmett backed away further. I knew Emmett must have been trying to tell Edward through his thoughts to back off because Edward looked straight at Emmett and started to laugh, then he muttered weak and walked out the back door.
Bella was next to leave and I decided to follow her thinking Emmett and Rose could sort the shoe problem out by themselves.
Jasper POV
Forks was the most fucking miserable place I had ever seen, it rained constantly and the population was like 3000 or something. I moved here to come live with my brother; he was the only family I had. Our parents fucked off when we were young, never knew why and I really didn't care. My brother I don't care about all that much either, he changes girls more than he changes his clothes and is nearly always drunk. But the offer to live with him had to be better than staying in those stupid shelters waiting for a foster home. At least here he wouldn't try and control me or anything, or send me off to shrinks like some of the foster parents I had tried to.
So I was thinking I could run wild and all, I was actually getting excited before I realised that the place I was moving to had practically no entertainment and most likely it was going to be as boring as watching the grass grow.
I had to start school and I knew being the new kid in this friggen small town everyone was probably going to stare at me and shit but I wasn't expecting nearly as much as what happened.
I had to walk to school because of course my trust worthy brother didn't come home after going to the pub, so I walked in the rain, luckily being such a small town it only took me ten minutes.
The school was small compared to my old one, so I wasn't about to go get lost or anything. The bitch at the receptionist desk said like nothing apart from here's your time table and there's a map on your planner.
The first half of the day was as expected people stared and I had to sit next to this Mike Newton kid in maths class who kept asking me a million questions. I even managed to refrain myself from telling him to fuck off.
It was lunch time when the weird shit started happening, I walked into the lunch cafeteria thing and had no idea what to do, I mean we didn't have one of these in our old school, there was no way in hell you could have fit half my school into a cafeteria. So I looked around to see Mike Newton waving at me. What choice did I have I had to sit next to him. So here I was looking around for some hot chick to perve at or something but I couldn't even do that because number one every girl in the school seemed to be already taken or was staring at me which made it awkward, I mean should I just stare back or what? And number two Mike was chatting away in my ear like we were best friends.
That's when these bunch of kids come walking through the door and I don't know if it was just me imagining it or whatever but the whole cafeteria went dead silent, it was like they were some kind of royalty or something. The first chick to walk through was blonde, tall and looked like she was pretty stuck up, followed by this big dark haired guy which I'm pretty sure was her boy friend.
then another guy who was holding hands with a brown haired girl who was pretty as well but didn't look like she was stuck up like the blonde girl. Then the last girl walked in, she had spiky brown hair and damn was she fucking cute. Just as I was thinking that thought she turned to look at me, her eyes caught mine and she got this shocked look on her face, and then she fucking smiled. And even now after I've been thinking about this all afternoon I'm not sure if she smiled in a nice way or she was smiling to say "what are you looking at". I've always been good at reading people; I've just always known kind of what there facial expressions mean. I suppose I got it from when I lived on the street for a bit, people's expressions always gave them away. But this girl, she just confused the hell out of me.
when mike realised I had been looking at them he smiled and said "they're the Cullens, everyone knows who they are and everyone stays out of their way. That big one is Emmett, mess with him and your dead, the blonde girls that's Rosalie his girlfriend and let's just say she's not exactly friendly either. The other guy is Edward and his girlfriend Bella, Edwards a dickhead but Bella's cool. Mike said as he blushed and looked down.
Damn obvious who he had a crush on.
And the other girl? I asked.
"Alice, she's weird, really weird."
I felt like right then and there I could have killed him, how dare he call her weird?
I have no idea where this came from, this feeling. I didn't even know her, for all I knew she could be weird. But yet suddenly I felt like i had to protect her from this dickhead.
I didn't dare say anything in case something slipped and mike went on talking anyway.
"Yeah they are all family, as in like they live together, but they aren't actually related, they are foster kids of Doctor Cullen and his wife Esme."
"I'm not even sure that's legal, I mean ew." Said Jess, the girl sitting across from mike.
That's when Angela piped in "Jess they aren't actually related"
"But still they live together".
Right why was I sitting at this table again?
Jess had this whiney voice, mike never shut up and he insulted Alice. Wait... why do I care.
And Angela, Well she's alright so far she hasn't done anything to piss me off.
I got up from the table, deciding I needed a breather.
"I'm going to get some air."
I walked away wondering what they hell was about to begin.
