Cleaning the Slate

"I'm sorry baby. Please don't be mad. I was just messing around with her. I love you," Oz, my supposedly boyfriend, was sucking up to me. I found him sucking faces with a bleach blonde Barbie. When he was supposed to be 'sick'. Since he was sick and didn't want me over, in case I would get it, I went to the movies with my twin sister instead.

"No Oz, we are done." I said, tears forming in my eyes, no matter how much he hurt me, he wasn't going to see those tears fall.

"But baby-," He started, taking hold of my hand. I wrenched it back.

"Don't 'but baby' her you jerk," Ness said putting her arm around me. "We just caught you playing tonsil hockey with some bimbo, you no good low down cheater. I ought to kick your ass for breaking my sisters heart," Sometimes I really loved my sister.

"You aren't in this," He growled at her.

"Oz. You lied to me and cheated on me. We are done!" I yanked the necklace he'd given me, off and threw it at him. Knowing the traitor tears would fall, I then turned and walked out of the theater, to my truck. I got in and put my arms on the wheel and my head on my arms and started crying.

A few moments later, I heard the passenger door open and felt an arm around me. I looked up and saw a blurry Ness through my watery eyes.

"I'm so sorry Cori," She whispered.

"It's okay," I sniffed, wiping away the tears.

"No it's not. He's a jerk," She said, rubbing circles on my back. "Want to run to Kroger real quick and get some Ben and Jerry's?" She asked me. "Come on, It'll make you feel better," I smiled, it would. I nodded and she grinned. She scooted back over and buckled up. I fastened my own seatbelt, started the truck and backed out. I smelled blood, I looked over to my right to see the bottle blonde, and Oz getting in his car, and him holding his bleeding nose. I glanced at Ness, who was staring ahead and grinning smugly.

"You didn't," My eyes widened. Her smile grew, and she thought of her punching him in the nose, and him cursing, then Barbie running over to coo over him.

"Oh I so did,"

"Thanks," I told her.

"Anytime. Besides no one breaks my-," But she was drown out by a BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! What the hell?

I woke up to my alarm clock blaring and my dream stuck in my head. The memory of Oz cheating had been haunting me for a week now. He was my third boyfriend and I was starting to wonder if I'd ever find the right guy, like Ness. I was the only one in the family who didn't have a 'significant other'. Everyone else had found theirs so easily. Me not so much. Then having to live with them all, sometimes could get a bit annoying. But I loved them all anyway, they were my family of course.

I hit the 'sleep' button on the clock and put my pillow over my head. I hated waking up early. Today was the first day of summer, and I had to wake up a six, so we could catch a plane. I was looking forward to sleeping in! Well, we would be going to Italy, somewhere we've never been and that was a plus. Remembering what I was getting up so darn early for I pushed back the covers and rolled out of bed, with my eyes still closed. To bright in my room to open them.

I grabbed the clothes I was going to wear, and headed sluggishly down the hall to the bathroom for my shower. I was right in front of the door when I felt a rush of wind pass me and the heard the door slam. I opened my eyes all the way. Oh no she didn't!

"I called shower first!" I banged on door. I told her last night I wanted the first shower. It was the whole reason for getting up early.

"Early bird catches the worm!" Ness's sing-song voice rang back to me. I scowled at the door and growled.

"Your going to use all the hot water!" I yelled to her. I didn't know why she took half-an-hour in the freaking shower. It takes me ten minutes.

"Whatevs, Cori! You should have gotten up earlier!" Ness said over the now running shower.

"I did!" I argued back. I actually got up four hours than usual.

"Not early enough! I got here first, so quit complaining!" I growled again.

"Behave," My mom said, coming out of no where behind me.

"But mom, I called the shower first! She takes forever!" I whined, sounding more like a five year old than my actual age of sixteen.

"Awww….you want some cheese with that whine?" My mom teased.

"Why don't you go get packed up while your sisters in the shower?" She kissed my temple, and went downstairs, probably to make me, Ness and Jacob some breakfast.

I threw my head back and groaned, then stomped back to my room. I heard Ness giggle on the way back. Oh she will pay for taking my shower time. When she least expects it, she better expect it.

I crawled back into my unmade bed and brought the blankets to my chin. I ignored my mom's advice to pack, and just laid there thinking.

Italy was going to be awesome, I would have the best time and best of all I would forget about Oz and our breakup. His name, even though it just ran quickly through my head, I started thinking about my past boyfriends.

We moved around a lot when Ness and I were little because we grew so fast and we never went to school. Mom and Dad would mostly teach us things as we traveled the country never staying in one spot for a month.

When we turned fourteen, we settled in the middle of nowhere Indiana and started public schooling as freshmen. Jacob, and Alice joined us. Rose, Emmett and Jasper started as Juniors. Then Mom and Dad started as sophomores.

Ness of course became Miss Popular, preppy cheerleader, where I became the invisible no one, Goth. I didn't really consider myself 'Goth', but that's what everyone called me. I thought of myself as a punk. They just jumped to conclusions because I wear black and skulls a lot. Anyway…

When I started dating Josh, a popular jock I started to get noticed, but after reading some of his thoughts after a week of being together I found out he only wanted me to get close to Ness. So I broke up with him. Then went back to being nobody.

Then in the beginning of my sophomore year, there was Derek he was nice for about three weeks, then all he wanted was to get in my pants. When I turned him down, he broke up with me and called me a bitch.

Lastly, two weeks after Derek, was Oz. Okay his name was David Osborne, but everyone called him Oz. He was so cute and nice and sweet. He was a punk rocker like myself. We got along great. We loved the same music, and classes. We'd been together for six months when I found him cheating. He must have known that I could read minds or something, because he never thought about it.

"I'm out!" Ness yelled. I looked over to the doorway, where she stood. She was wearing a pink Aéropostale T-shirt and cut-off jean shorts. She had a red towel wrapped around her head and she had her P.J's in her arms.

"You know you are going to pay for taking my shower right?" I said, getting back out of bed. She smiled innocently at me.

"I love you," She said, then went to her own room. I rolled my eyes and grabbed my own clothes, a pair of light jeans with the knees ripped out, and a black graphic T-shirt and a studded belt. Then I made my way back down to the bathroom to take my cold shower.

Twenty minutes later, I was running downstairs, showered, dressed, hair combed and make-up on. I followed the smell of blueberry pancakes cooking in the kitchen. Yum, my favorite. My mom was at the stove frying my pancakes, and Ness and Jacob were at the table eating when I walked in. I went to the cupboard and pulled out a glass, "Smells great Mom," I smiled at her.

"Thanks, Yours should be done soon," I nodded, going to the fridg and pulling out the orange juice. I poured some for myself and then sat on the other side of Renesmee.

"Morning Jake," I said. He nodded at me, his mouth full of pancakes and he was stuffing in more. I rolled my eyes, werewolves. Just then Mom set a plate of blueberry pancake goodness in front of me. I thanked her then she went over to the stove to clean up.

"Spawn of Satan, would you please pass the syrup?" I smiled sweetly at my twin.

"Coraline Elizabeth Cullen! That's no way to speak to your sister!" My mother yelled at me from the sink. I smiled at my full name I was named after both my grandmothers and I loved it.

"What?" I asked back innocently, "I said 'please',"

Ness passed the syrup over to me, glaring. I smiled and poured the sweet sugary goodness on my pancakes.

"You know that would make you the spawn of Satan too," She said smugly.

"Not really, because Satan just made you look like me," I replied, cutting the cakes in little pieces with my fork.

"Oh ha, ha," Nessie fake laughed, "You're a riot,"

"I whoa," I replied, my mouth full of pancakes, I meant to say 'I know'. She rolled her eyes at me.

"You guys all packed?" Alice came dancing in the room, Jasper following behind.

"Sure am!" Ness smiled proudly.

They were like best friends, they both loved to shop and do each other's nails and all that girly stuff. That just wasn't me. Nope, I liked spending time with the guys.

"What about you?" Jasper grinned at me, knowing I wasn't.

"I'm getting there," I said.

"What?" My mom said, "I thought I told you to pack while Renesmee was in the shower?"

"She went back to bed," Ness ratted me out. I glared.

"I don't take forever to pack, because I don't bring the whole house," I shot back.

"Well you better be ready before we leave," Mom said.

"I will be," I promised.

An hour later we had the car pack and made our way to the airport. After getting on board I got out my iPod touch from my carry on and started listening to my music. Mom says I'm going to go deaf, but I ignore her and tell her that she worries too much. When I turned it on I saw the picture of me and Oz. I hadn't taken it off yet. I didn't know why. I went to my pictures and erased it and the other pictures of him. I was cleaning the slate. Wasn't Italian the romantic language? Maybe in Italy I would find love.

Ha, ha. That's doubtful.

How wrong I was.

A/N: So what's going to happen in Italy? I guess you'll just have to wait... I really want to know what you think! Please Review! To clear some things up, Cori (or Coraline ElizabethEdwards bilogical mother's name) Rensmee's identical twin, so she has bronze hair and brown eyes just like Ness. Jacob lives with the Cullens in a small town in Indiana...I don't have a name for the town. She has a gift, she can read minds like Edward, but also can have mind control. As long as she has eye contact then she can make you do what you want. If you have any qestions or are confused about something please put it in a review or you can PM me. Constuctive critism is welcome!

LUPIN OUT!
