i own Jolie,and her family(except for the Cullen part)and Jeffrey and his family(the pure-blood situation was an inspiration given by vampire knight)
Jolie's P.O.V.
Bronze haired , almost COMPLETELY WHITE and on the cool way, that's me Jolie Cullen, I've never had a boyfriend, just, things close to boyfriends, but now I'm going to high school and I know things are about to change…
I arrived to school; by the time, I got out of my car (that my stepfather bought me from a friend of him); every body was looking at me with a glow in the eyes. Only one caught my eye, getting out of a black MINY COUPER, appeared a pale, black haired windblown hair guy, he was gorgeous. I noticed he was looking at me deeply; already on class I was almost last by my stupidity of getting lost in a simple school , because of that I had to sit just beside the guy of the MINY COUPER.
Darn, now I can't adore at him secretly said a bad side fantastic now I would know him better said my goody goody side, which I followed its emotions, but before I could say him something to him I had a note in my lap, I unfolded that perfectly written note that said:
Greetings
My name is Jeffrey Williams I'm the boy that owns the MINY COUPER …
Shoot…the name I love had to be his name! Crap! I kept reading…
Can we meet at lunch? I am so sure you want to talk to me as much as I do, ill be close to the door so you can find me ^_^
See ya soon
J.W.
After that I got my head up and looked at him, he was waiting for an answer, I nodded once, a crooked smile runned through his cheeks, how easily I made him happy. By the second a rush of blush came to me, Jeffrey chuckled. He said to my ear "you can call me Jeff if you like" I blushed harder, I looked at him to tell him something but his eyes locked in mine. It was when I noticed that his eyes were a shade of purple fainting into blue. He loosened his lock when the teacher called the roll. At last, I was free from his gaze.
I didn't see him until it was lunch
I looked every where because, there were a lot of doors, I looked to my side and there he was , perfect as a statue of Adonis , I shook my head ,but, no illusion, there he was like something uneraseable, I walked to him with my heart pounding out of my chest
"Hiya…uh…Jeff…my name is …Jolie...nice to meet you … again…"I was so nervous that my voice was shivering
"Don't worry about presentations everybody in this high school knows you" his voice out loud was different, like with a magical tone
He took my shoulder to get me to a table, his touch was cold as stone, and I had no reason to think he was … dead?
I shook out that thought
"How would you like to be called?"He asked taking me out of anillusion of both Jeff and me kissing.
"Uh…Jolie, 'cause, I don't have a nickname" I half smiled, I think, I didn't get the joke because he was laughing out loud
"As you wish Madame Jolie," said on a deep voice. I got fire red because of that , I do not like been joked by my name , he noticed quickly , and looked at me serious, then all my madness melted away, the boy I liked got the first fight with me even though he was not my boy friend. Then I said "sorry, is that I can't be bothered around cause of my name, to me is not good manners" the manners stuff came automatically, I already made that discussion with Ian, my stepbrother, and almost launched him out the window. Then something came into me, curiousity, I wanted to touch Jeff's face to see if it was as silky as it looked, suddenly he gave away. He jumped out of the table.
"What's going on? Did I miss something?" I said
"Yes, class change"
"Holy cow! I am going to be late for biology!"
"With what professor?"
"Palmer, why?"
"Oh, crap that's my next class"
This little chat is going to be longer than I thought, "Well then, let's go"
"Ok"he gave out his hand so I could grab it, I looked at him, but I had to give away quickly before I got locked in his gaze again and took his hand, cold as ice. His touch made me shrug; he smiled and we headed to biology.
We got to biology. Everybody on class had a partner except for Jeff and me. . Prof. Palmer put us in the most far away table, maybe considering us "space to do our duties". I think he thought we were a couple, since we were holding hands, but Profs. are like that …
1 month later
I woke up on a somersault. I looked up and Ian was there staring at me "good morning, it is 11:00 'o clock, time to get up and get your mother at the airport…"
I opened myeyes to look at him, then closed them a little bit "a joke right? It must be at least 7:00 A.M. and mother must be brought at 1:00 P.M. and … IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" I suddenly looked at my alarm clock, the hour my stepbrother had said was true.
I jumped out of my bed and got dressed with my mothers favorite clothes combination: blue shirt, jeans and a hair band, just to let her know im happy she is back. At the airport, I waited at the gate when I noticed a familiar figure…he turned around as if impatient , like waiting to arrive someone, when he turned around again I could see who it was… "Jeffrey!" he looked at me and smiled that lovely crooked smile I loved, then trotted at me and said "Jolie! What are you doing here alone? You know how many dangers can there be on a simple airport?"
I answered "I'm not alone Jeff, my… ugh …step big brother is buying 'breakfast', I'm so sure he is talking to some dumb cute girl he likes" he stared at me almost choking a huge L.O.L. then I added " don't choke your feelings let them out"
Big mistake
His laugh was like, I don't know, musical? Yeah musical… so musical that it hypnotized me and couldn't move from where I was standing.
He noticed quickly and told me "Jolie are you O.K. HELLO ARE YOU IN THERE!"
"Good one Jeff, I'm still here, thanks for asking." I answered
He hold my arm like the first day of us sitting on the cafeteria "Jolie do you want to sit so you don't get a stroke, so I don't have to get you to the hospital, in my own car and for worst, in MY arms" I nodded. I knew that having the guy I loved carry me would be embarrassing, then I sat on the closest seats I could find
"Hey sis!" Ian called me
"Hey Ian" I answered
"What's up?"
"Not much since you left" just talking to the most handsome guy in school
"And who's this? Your boyfriend?" he laughed
"No stupid, a friend, Ian this is Jeffrey Williams"
He was in shock just like if I had punched him in the stomach "you've got to be kidding me… the richest, most solitary boy in high school is your friend! Impossible!"
"Ian, in life, NOTHING is impossible," Jeff, answered.
"By the way, Jeff, what are you doing here anyways?"
"Waiting for my sis Elena to arrive"
"Ahem" some woman said, "well Jeff looks like you've been in some conversation, do I get you so bored lately?"
"Maybe" he said making a grim smile, which could make the dead women faint in their tombs "im just trying to do something until you arrived…"
"Jully! What is going on?" mom screeched when she saw me pale because of the surprise Elena gave me, she was deadly beautiful, just like her brother she had black but curly hair, slim factions and it was noticeable that she was a factionist, yeah she made me envious
"Mom, please! Don't call me that! Don't give 'em ideas!" I stared at my brother and the other two brothers
Jeff giggled, my brother choked the crack up and Elena looked at all of us
"You said you didn't have a nickname" Jeff buffed
"Thanks a lot mom" I glared at my mother that was blushing "now the whole school will know the nickname you gave me when I was a cooney little baby"
Then it started…
The three of 'em cracked up, in a way couldn't resist laughing.
Jeffrey offered to give us a ride since neither my brother nor I had brought the car by a lack of gasoline; we came on the bus, so we accepted. Ian was all chatty with Elena. In addition, mom chatted with Jeff and me.
"So what has been up these days? Jolie you forgot to call me..." she was careful not to call me again by my nickname "well only yesterday actually…but still I needed an update! Where did you meet…this awesome boy?" the last 3 words where a whisper so that I would be the only one who could hear, but still I knew that Jeff could hear what mom said because I saw him smile a little bit.
"Well mom just like you would meet any other person… looking and then talking just like any other person would"
"Well actually it all started with a note, then a conversation in lunch that almost got us late for biology" I glared at him embarrassed…then I blushed because I knew he was right.
"Oh…okay…btw how's your dad?"
"Equally annoying" I said with a sigh, Ian laughed
"That's true mom and even more since you left for the conference he missed you a lot"
"Geez what a big cry baby" mom grunted
I know that better than anyone does I thought for myself
We arrived my house and dad was amazed because he didn't know that we were coming back on Jeff's car. I got out of the tiny car just like the others when I saw Jeffrey behind me. He startled me.
"Oh my gosh! Jeffrey you scared the shit out of me!"
"Jar jar I scared the little lady," he laughed
I grunted but instead of moving out of the way, he grabbed my arms to stop me from leaving "hey don't get mad, its just hilarious to scare you" he said on a seductive voice that made my head go spinning "hey you're shocked again? Wake up!" he touched my neck to se if I had pulse then he listened to see if I was breathing, I was not… then it happened … he got his mouth in mine to give me air but felt more like a kiss, I actually blushed. Mom got out of the house to ask me something but she saw us…there looking like we were kissing and screamed
"Yay! Looks like they are more than just friends now!"
He gave away, I was so shocked that I couldn't talk, did he just kiss me? No way!
"Jolie what's wrong. Why do you have that face?" mom said worried
"Nothing mom just had a lack of air thanks to the surprise Jeff gave me" I glared at him, he smiled showing all his teeth, it was when I noticed that his fangs were anormally longer and pointy, I think mom noticed too because she was awkwardly silent. We looked at each other wondering.
"Um Jeff…"I touched my canines to let him know I was wondering about his fangs
"OH it's nothing, I dunno why but since my milk teeth gave away these didn't stop growing, until now…" he sighed "I was hoping I wouldn't have 'em bigger, I don't want to be called saber tooth for nothing"
"jar jar now you'll have a pet name… from now on… if you bug me ill call you saber tooth kitty so that you learn your lesson or … until you stop minding about that" I smiled grimly ha-ha! This is my revenge baby!
He smiled too "nah I do not get bugged as easily as you do"
I grunted "well saber wanna come in?"
"Can't do honey, gotta get my sis home before mom notices we're gone, Elena lets go!" he hugged me good-bye and took off… wait a second... he called me honey? No one has ever called me honey! Not even my mom!
"Hey sis you said that he was your 'friend', does it have a second meaning I have to crack up like a puzzle?"
"No but I have some thing better for you to crack up instead" I pointed at the blocks of unfinished firewood
"I'll do that in the morning, its dark and I don't want to loose a toe"
"sure thing, but I think its better a toe than all your fingers fall off because they were frozen" I joked " anyways im so sure that something exists to light up a place, I think its called oil lamp or a flashlight holded by your loyal little sister" I smiled… he grunted
"Ok little sis lets get to work"
Jeffrey's P.O.V.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE JEFFREY ALEXANDER WILLIAMS? HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT YOU HAVE PUT YOUR WHOLE FAMILY IN DANGER BY A SINGLE INNOCENT GIRL?" Elena spat
"SHUT UP ELENA! YOU THINK I AM NOT INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO CONTROL MY SITUATION? HAVEN'T YOU NOTICED THAT I LOVE HER? YOU MUST BE VERY BLIND MY DEAR SISTER…" I spat back
"What did you just say? That you dared to fall in love with a human! This is just fascinating Jeffrey, I've endured all those years of stupidity from you but I never knew you were that idiotic!"
I snarled, my fangs grew longer until they didn't fit on my mouth
"Not here… not now, I'll finish you at home" I nodded
Our family… kept in secret from humans… were a big coven of seven bloodthirsty vampires… not like those on TV that burn or glow in the sunlight… no, sunlight does not do us anything we can live anywhere our eyes aren't always red or golden, but when our hunting senses are out, our eyes turn bright crimson. We do have gifts, multiple in each vampire, three is the maximum, I can practically fly, turn invisible, and when it's necessary I have animalistic frenzy (I use it mostly on battles that doesn't happen much)
We arrived home, a big antique house, with a sturdy cave underneath which the other entrance besides the one inside the house is at the south end of the house, we call it the battle basement where we practice twice a week, or in cases that we want to kick one of the clan member's ass.
"Ok little brother im going to kick your ass really bad, here are the rules of the battle, no gifts can be used, just strength and speed, can you do it? You can give up now, talk now or shut up forever."
"Let's do this" my fangs grew once again and claws peeked from my fingernails
"No cheating ok, if you cheat I cheat…"
"…and if you cheat I cheat" I said, already on my hunting senses
The battle went on… I wasn't the fastest in the clan but much more than Elena, neither I was the strongest but Elena was… so have to be careful with her hands which was easy because she used more direct attacks then I do…
I pinned her on the ground after one hour of evasive running and random punches… and for the final touch I ran in circles until she was dizzy and fell to the ground " you know what sis?..."
"What?" she growled
"You are out of practice…" I said with sarcasm "…and I won!"
"You think I didn't notice!" she said out of breath… she coughed "let me go"
"Ok but first will you promise not to tell my situation to the Elders?"
"What shouldn't we know Jeffrey?" said the Elders in unison
The Elders were the oldest vampires in our clan… three males and two females… my mother Nancy, my father Jonathan Williams… and the rest of the elders… master Hiou, the oldest Elder, Staedler Hiou's mate… and my uncle Jack, which I went along better than the other elders.
"Uh… shit," I whispered
"We are waiting Jeffrey, is it that bad?" mom asked
"No mother, we just helped a trio of humans get home from the airport" Elena saved the day, as if she could always protect my backbone
"Oh that's it?" mom said unsure "then why is that your situation Jeffrey?"
"Sorry Elena but you didn't help much; I will take the punishment for my actions"
"Yeah sure but now im in it remember? I didn't stop you when I could…"
"Oh what a cute chat here, but would you say what the hell you did?" mom cut out
I sighed, "I… fell for a human" I think they didn't understand because they looked at me strangely "um im in love with a human"
I winced waiting for them to burst the rampage but noting happened I opened my eyes and saw that they were smiling "what the ****! you guys are smiling? Won't you punish me because of that? Hello, I interacted with a human! Shouldn't that be against the rules of being unnoticed? She almost discovered me! She saw my fangs…"
"Jeffrey, I should talk to you about this," Uncle Jack said
"Um mom Interacted and fell too" Elena said
"Then ill talk to you about it" Hiou said
"Ok Jeff the thing is that, love isn't against the rules, where do you think your mother came from? A flower? No, she was human too once and your father thought the same as you did, that what was happening to him was against the rules"
"So I can be with Jolie and no one can stop me?"
"Yes but don't bring her here until we say so, we haven't hunted in weeks and bringing a human here would be a BIG mistake ok JAW?"
"Um she gave me a new pet name…"
"Ok what is it?
"After noticing my fangs she tried to bug me with the nickname saber tooth or saber for short"
We burst into laugher
"OK... saber, questions?"
"No sir"
"You can leave now"
I went to get a bath and put on new clothes since Elena was random with her attacks she destroyed my shirt and part of my jeans, plus… my hair was a mess
"Man! Elena cares about herself but look at me! I look like a scarecrow!"
"You can say that again"
"Shut up Knickt…" I told my pet bat "…you look even worst and I don't blame you"
Ok yeah I have four gifts, what's the problem? Oh yeah I said that the maximum of powers were three, but I don't know why I can talk to animals.
"So you've fallen for a human? Interesting..."
"Knickt do you now the meaning SHUT UP? Because I can explain it to you" I cracked my fingers in threat
"Um no need for that"
"Good"
I went to the bathroom; I filled the bathtub with warm water, threw in some soap tablets, and got out of my clothes. I looked myself in the mirror; I had scratches all over my face.
I sighed "Elena" and shook my head
I washed my face and TADA! No scratches, how fast we vampires healed, I love that from me, once Elena pinned my hand with a knife, the only thing I had to do was pull out the knife from my hand, and swiftly it started to heal. After the hand healed completely, I punched Elena in the stomach and told her
"If you were a boy I would have your face swollen"
Ah good old days, but now I was more mature and well I have much more patience, my sister says that im more mysterious but actually im just trying to follow the rules.
I threw myself in the warm soapy water and looked all over the practically enormous bathroom we had, it was all covered in wood to maintain the heat of the steam, and somebody had turned on an incense stick with the smell of cinnamon apple that made the place even warmer. There were thousands of roses on crystal containers; I knew mom was the roses freak so I knew she was the one putting them all over the house. I plucked one out of its stem and looked at it to see what was so special about them. I smelled it, a sweet scent came into my nose, I touched a petal, softer than silk and delicate like a crystal figure, it was beautiful and had a complex structure. Then I noticed that I was describing her.
Now I loved roses.
I scattered the rose's petals all over the lather.
Someone knocked the door, hard
"Jeffrey did the toilet eat you? Because you've been almost two hours in there!" Elena shouted from the outside
"Oh shit" I had lost track of time "ill be out in a minute or two!"
I emptied the bathtub and cleaned the floor a bit. Picked up the rose's remains, threw them into the toilet, and flushed it. I put on my new clean clothes, and the destroyed ones I threw them in the wastebasket. I opened the door and got out of the bathroom.
"Well at least you are alive, enjoyed your cast away?"
I stuck my tongue out and ran to my room. I closed the door behind me.
"Whoa, now that's what I call having a pleasure moment" Knickt chuckled
I growled and flew up to where he was.
"Didn't I tell you to shut up?"
"Yeah, two hours ago"
"I think you didn't understand" I grabbed him and shouted "SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
He looked at me paralyzed, I opened my hands and he flew away to the same dark corner he was.
"Hope you understood now"
I went to the dining room… strange huh? We can eat human food like any other human and tastes the same.
"Oh crap I forgot what I was looking for…" I looked all over the place "…oh it wasn't here; it was at the x place" ok I don't have a name for that place. The only thing I know is that I go there most of the time and I was looking for something that was very special to me and was specifically in this x place.
I went to the kitchen and wrote to mom in the refrigerator's magnetical pad…
Ill be back in a sec.
Im going to the X place ok. Do not start dinner without me.
Jeffrey
I got out of the house by the kitchen door and flew with all my strength and speed to get there as fast as I could… I found a big cave full of crystals and went to look for that special thing I was looking for… it was inside an ivory chest.
I unlocked the chest and there it was; a heart shaped ruby that was shining and pulsing like a real heart. I loved this rock, I wanted to give it to someone but I didn't know whom… until now. I had to do one last thing. I pressed it to my chest, I sang a special poem I learned from Hiou and painfully it entered through my flesh until reaching my heart. Minutes later, it came out of my chest, it was full of blood. It had no bubbles to make the impression that there wasn't any blood inside so it wouldn't scare her to death. Now she will have my heart and if something happened to me, she would have a part of me.
Valentines Day
The next morning I woke up with this unusual eagerness to get to school, I almost danced my way to the dining room.
"Good morning Saber, looks like you are in the best mood anyone could have" everybody looked at uncle jack
"Um brother what did you call my son?"
"Oh it's just his new pet name! Given by his human crush"
Ok one thing is for sure; vampires don't blush but I felt like I was blushing hard, and if that happened my sister would be bugging me the whole week.
"Ha-ha now that's what I call having a lot from her"
"Dad this is the only thing she has given to me…" I cut out because Hiou was reaching the table. We all bowed in unison greeting her…
"Good morning master Hiou, how are you feeling?" we all said
"Very nice thank you all, you may eat your breakfast"
I prepared for school, Elena had finished college so she was free, darn it she would be playing dolls with Knickt. I opened my window and whispered to him
"In case of anything you need ok bud?"
"Thanks" he said relieved
I went to the car and started the engine. I feel like im missing something. I touched my pocket. Oh fuck, the rock! I got out of the car and I speeded through the house to my room and snatched the little dark purple box that was in my nightstand, I zoomed through the house again and went to school in internal peace.
I arrived early as always and put the car in my usual spot. I cut out the engine and waited…after 20 minutes
"Hey where the fuck is everyone?" I looked around the lot.
Someone knocked the crystal.
I looked to where the sound was coming from… it was Jolie in a black dress that reached the knees. I got out of the car.
"Hi Jeff, oh sorry, Saber"
"It's ok" I made the impression that I was looking at her completely "…you look awesome"
"Why thank you, so do you!"
"Nah you win me, I just threw in the first thing I saw"
She laughed; it was the first time I heard her laugh. I remembered it just in case.
"Happy valentines day" we said in unison "jinx, jinx! Ha-ha"
I snatched the present out of my pocket and gave it to her.
"Hey thank you!" she got out her present that I think its mine… I was correct "this is for you"
"Thanks" I opened the box; there was a gold wristlet with an inscription that said
To Jeffrey from Jolie, happy Valentines Day kitty, luv you!
I smiled and put on my wristlet
"I knew you would like it," she said
"You don't know how much" I looked at her "you haven't opened yours, are you scared? You think it's a wedding ring. Think again because it isn't" I joked
"No I didn't think that I was waiting that you would finish so that you don't miss a second of this" she said and smiled
She opened the box and got the present out of the box.
"Oh my god Jeffrey! Where did you get this? It's beautiful!"
"Just a little something that I kept since I was a child, its very precious to me, so care for it, ok?" I was delighted with her reaction
"That will be no problem with me; I love it too much, thank you again"
"You are welcome" yeah! Jackpot!
I saw that she kept the rock; the size of her hand, close to her heart, the spell was working because it felt nice in my empty chest, like if it were still there
"Let's go to class, shall we?" she said
"Absolutely"
Moreover, we ran to literature.
She sat beside me again, even though she didn't have to.
"Pssst, Jeff why is it pulsing?"
"I don't know it's a special gem I suppose"
"Oh ok" she winked at me, I smiled back
She did not stop looking at it throughout the day.
"You are still with a lack of gas?"
"Yeah, I came here on bus"
"Want a ride home?"
"Sure, wont your parents mind?"
"That'll be no problem"
I got out my cell phone and dialed my home's phone number
"Hello, Hiou?" Jeffrey? What is it? "Yes, it is that I will be giving Jolie a ride, tell my parents not to worry ok" that will be no problem Jeff, enjoy yourself and don't worry about supper ok "Thank you, I'll see you at home"
I closed the phone
"Who's Hiou?"
"The owner of the house, she let us live with her"
"Ok, it was just curiosity"
"Don't worry, I didn't mind you asking"
We got in the car. I started the engine and went straight to her home instead to the usual road home.
We arrived to her house; I parked the car in front of her car.
She saw that I was getting out of the car with my book bag and asked
"Uh what are you doing?"
"When I told Hiou that I was giving you a ride home it had a second meaning, that im going to stay a while over there and that tell my parents not to worry if Im late for supper"
"Oh ok, sorry"
"No worries"
We got inside and I sat in one of the comfortable looking couches
"Want some filled doughnuts?"
"Sure, what flavors do you have?"
"Chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry jelly"
"I'll have any; I like 'em all"
"Ok, here, be careful they tend to be messy"
I bit one; it was so filled of chocolate that it splattered my white shirt.
"Oh crap"
"I told you so" she replied "here have some napkins"
I tried to clean it but still there was a brownish splatter all over the shirt.
"It won't get out!"
She sighed, "Let's get upstairs ill wash it for you"
We went up the stairs and found a tiny laundry
"Give me your shirt"
I pulled my shirt and gave it to her
"What is it made of?"
"What?"
"The clothe, the material it's made of, so I know if I can use Clorox"
"Oh it's silk"
"Ok" she looked impressed
She poured my shirt into the washer and threw in powders and liquids
"Ok that's set, while that's washing, want to go to my room?"
"Ok let's go" now that I was half-naked what else can I hide?
We went to her half-my-bedroom's-size-room, all painted in lavender and cream, and with her twin sized metal bed, drawings on a bulletin board, photos of her family and childhood, and her desktop with her laptop. I looked at the drawings in her bulletin board.
"You like how I draw huh?"
"It's nice, what kind of drawing is this?"
"Manga and anime, and some are portraits"
"Interesting, are these people you know?"
"Yeah, some you know them some you don't, can you guess who are they?"
"Hum…" I focused in the first portrait; it looked like a male a red head kid with someone that looked like a bronze haired female kicking his ass "I can totally guess these two are you and your brother"
"Ha-ha you're right!" something beeped in the distance "oh that's the washer lets go"
We went back to the little laundry and got out the now damp shirt, I looked at it with a grim expression… am I supposed to put that on in that condition?
"Be patient ok! This isn't finished, I have to put it inside the clothes dryer and wait a little more okay?" I nodded relieved
She put she damp shirt inside the dryer, put a sheet of something that looked like clothe, closed the door and put it in ON
"Ok! Now let us go back my room I have to draw something fast"
I nodded
"Ok sit there in the usual way you sit when you try to be comfortable," she said to me
"Wait a second… you are gonna draw me?" now that's unexpected
"Yeah, I haven't got a good glimpse of you so I could make a portrait" I nodded once
I sat in the border of her bed; I sat like any other boy when it is tired; legs opened, hands dangling from his tights and looked at her.
"Perfect, now that's what I call, body language," I chuckled
I stayed there by almost half an hour until she was finished, again, something beeped in the distance.
"That's the dryer, let's go"
She got my now dry shirt, it looked softer than it was when I putted it this morning, and the splatter was gone.
"Here nice and clean…" I was starting to put on my shirt when she said, "Wait a second, put on the shirt but don't button it, that's the only thing I needed!"
"Huh?" what was she talking about I thought she was finished!
"Here, I'll show you"
She showed me her half-finished drawing; everything was detailed except for the torso, I knew what she meant.
I sat again in the same position. With my shirt opened by the sides. My little artist wanted something else because she headed towards me. She made some changes, she had to step closer to me; I could hear her heart pounding hard in her chest. I could smell her and for gods sake she was closer to me than she had ever been to me… she felt nervous; her hands were shivering, I took her nervous hands and told her "calm down there's no hurry" she nodded
She went back to her desktop. Fifteen minutes later, she was finished she showed me her drawing. It was me all right. She was a real artist by nature. I looked at the drawing's hands, it had the ruby I gave her, it was glowing brightly just like the real one.
She took her drawing and placed it on an empty space in the bulletin board, close to her bed.
"Ok that's done…" she looked at her watch "you better get going it's very late"
"Thanks for having me over"
"Anytime Jeff, see you at school?"
"Yeah, unless you want to go some where else"
"No, but anyways, I'll have chores to do"
"Oh ok"
I buttoned my shirt and went down the stairs, when I arrive to the door I turned around and faced her
"Well see you" I hugged her hard and took off
Jolie's P.O.V.
OH MY GOD! He actually sat in my bed! In addition, he held my hands to calm me down!
I was truly in my best mood ever since he gave me the valentines present; a rock that looked like a ruby shaped like a heart that magically pulsed. I just loved it.
I prepared myself for bed; it was almost 10:00 and Jeffrey left at 9:00 so I have been daydreaming almost an hour!
I took the little heart and looked at it. It was so amazing. However, it was even more amazing because of gave it to me, Jeffrey. I pressed the little charm to my heart… someone had unlocked the front door it opened and closed.
"Jolie we are home! What is this mess! Jolie!"
"Coming dad"
I went to the living room; in the middle table were the abandoned doughnuts and the splatter all over the floor
"Didn't I tell you that you could take one? There are two, one bitten and one not and why is there a splatter on my rug?" he was hysterical
"Hum, dad it's that Jeffrey gave me a ride home and I asked him if he could stay a while… he said yes" I looked at him, he was more calmed now "I offered him a doughnut and plus I told him to be careful because they were messy…" I sighed "he didn't listen, he ended with his shirt all smudged of chocolate" I giggled "I cleaned his shirt, good thing it's was white and silk"
"Ok now you'll have to clean this mess young lady"
"No problem Pop" I looked up the bucket and brush and started cleaning the mess my crush did… oh well at least he stayed a little, but god what a way of staying! Me having to clean his shirt, plus he did not have an undershirt so he…I gulped hard…he was shirtless in front of me! In addition, he didn't care! However, best of all if he disappeared I would still have something to remember his face and body… I sighed in relaxation.
I had finished cleaning when mom arrived with my brother yippee we are goin to have so much fun! Mentally I stuck out my tongue.
"Hey Jolie what's for supper?" my bro asked
"The slave wasn't home," I sarcastically told him "so Unga didn't do supper, you want supper go make it your self"
"There is some leftover potpie from yesterday, go get some in a plate and warm it on the microwave" mom spat
"Mom… are you making alliances with Jolie?"
"She's my biological daughter not you," she winked at me "besides you have 19 years, you can go and make supper by yourself, Jolie only has like 15 years she can cook but she's not your wife" wife that word tickled me
Ian grunted and stomped towards the kitchen
"He doesn't look like a young adult" I said "he looks more like a kindergarten kid"
"I heard that!" Ian shouted
"It was on purpose, kid" me and mom said, then we giggled
"So what's new? Did you see that gorgeous kid again?"
"Sure did and he gave me a ride home again…" I paused to cause thrill "and he stayed for a while here!"
"God damnit! Why did the boss give me one more hour of work? I wanted to see him!"
"He left exactly an hour ago" I said matter-of-factly
"So you guys stayed alone for a while eh?" mom poked me with the elbow
"Best of all… his shirt got messy with chocolate…"
"Why is that so amazing?"
"Please let me finish! So I had to clean his shirt in the washer…and he didn't have an undershirt!"
"So you are telling me that you guys stayed for six hours alone, and he was shirtless? My god you are lucky"
"I know!"
"Well it's late, go to bed"
"Oh and he gave me a valentines present" I said fast
"He did? What was it? Chocolates?"
"Even better come I'll show you" we went to my bedroom
"Tada! What do you say 'bout this?" I showed her the rock
"Gosh that must be worth a big amount of money!"
"He said that he had it since childhood and that it was very special to him!"
"Hum, you say it's very special to him and that he had it since childhood… girl he just gave you his heart"
"You think so?"
"When has your mother been wrong?"
"Like… let me see" I supposedly counted with my fingers "three hundred and fifteen times at least"
"It was an expression ok!"
"Ok sorry"
"Go to bed for once… did you draw him?"
"Yeah he posed and everything" I showed her the portrait
"My god! He looks even better than a photo on a playgirl magazine"
"Since when do you read playgirl?"
"Not your business… anyways he does the same" pointing at her bedroom…
We cracked up
I could not sleep
Knowing that he probably had given me his heart… who would sleep?
Tap tap!
What the fuck? There is a bird tapping in my window at this hour of the night?
I looked at my window
It was not a bird; it was Elena throwing rocks swiftly to my window
I pulled my window open and peeked at her
"Move a side" she whispered "I'm gonna climb the tree into your room"
"What!" I moved aside and closed my eyes oh god she's dead
Open your eyes! Please im not goin to die that easily since im a vampire
"Uh Elena what did you just said?" I opened my eyes to look at her
"I didn't open my mouth to say anything…what did I just say?"
"Um you said open your eyes! Please im not goin to die that easily since im a… are you a vampire?"
"You just read my mind or something... what did you said your last name was?"
"Cullen, Jolie Marie Cullen, why do you ask?"
She looked at me shocked, what did I just say? I only told her my name!
"Hum... sit down Jolie I need to tell you something really important… but it's a secret you can't tell anyone… understand?"
I nodded
"Ok you may not believe me but I know your great great grand-cousin, his name is Edward, Edward Anthony Cullen Masen, he is eternally 17 but he has almost a hundred years old" please believe me! You can hear this because Edward can read minds too! Then I saw some photos of Edward… my god he is gorgeous, but he's married, some vampire named Isabella Swan, they have a child too… Renesmee, what a cutie pie! Then I saw something awful. They were hunting mountain lions… not for sport but to feed themselves… with blood.
"Uh Elena you are telling me that I have a cousin who is immortal… and that drinks blood."
"Yes, I went to visit them in my last trip… they are right now in Minnesota. We are very different from them…we are purebloods or high ranks, which have more abilities and have more human characteristics than them. They are nobles or lower ranks, which have lost the ability to feed from human food and go out in a sunny day without being noticed by humans."
"So you are telling me that you and your family…" including Jeff "are vampires?"
"Yes and that valentine present Jeff gave you isn't an ordinary rock, it has his heart inside it and he wants you to have it" and im not kidding girl… I saw him when he made the magic trick
"So what does that mean?" what a stupid question Jolie! You know he loves you! I mentally slapped my forehead
"Uh he is totally… but TOTALLY in love with you… I never saw him so… I don't know… distracted… yesterday he was in the bathroom for almost two hours bathing himself after a battle we had"
Whoa, that was unexpected
"Ok so could you get me where he is?"
"Im not sure if I can get you home, let me be sure" she pulled out a phone and started dialing… someone answered at the other side…
"Mom…what darling? Pass me to Hiou I need to ask her something…right away honey….yes this is Hiou… one questionum have you guys hunted yet?.... yeah we just did, 10 minutes after you left. Why do you ask...it's that um Jolie wants to go home and um I just wanted to make sure it was safe… yeah it is you can bring her here in any moment…thank you Hiou." she hanged up
"So it's safe?"
"I think you heard everything didn't you?"
"Probably…"
"Ugh this lack of privacy will be a little annoying. Hop to my back I did not bring a car"
We went to their enormous house on piggy ride… quite fast but a little bouncy. When we arrived, I had a knot in my stomach…bad though, I think I had turned from pale cream to purple in just one ride.
"Uh are you ok Jolie, you don't look good"
"Im just dizzy don't worry"
"Well you should be more than dizzy now" Jeffrey startled me again and the hold up that I had in my stomach had jumped a little
"Careful my dear brother, it's my fault, I went by foot to her house and you know that my piggy rides are awful, so I think she's almost in the border of barf world"
"Ill take care of that"
He picked me up and zoomed through his house until we were in front of a bronze colored door…enormous I might say… and helped me in. When I looked, it was a big Jacuzzi-like bathroom, with wood all over the walls and floor. Oh my fucking god, there were thousands of roses in crystal containers, and the air smelled like roses, apple and cinnamon. However, I did not look much because I was headed to the toilet. He held my hair so it wouldn't be all barfed up. When I finished I flushed the toilet, sat on it, and took a breath.
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah thanks"
"What are you doing here?"
"I just wanted to ask you something…" he looked at me, patiently…he was dressed on his nightgown, a pair of cotton shorts… he looked god damnit hot. "Uh well I just want to figure up something, why did you give me the heart?"
It worked… he thought about it
I gave it to you because I wanted you to have my heart because you are the center of my universe, because I love you so much I could not live a Na no second without you
When I read that I couldn't hold up my tears, he loved me. I could not resist the impulse of hugging him, so I hugged him by the neck.
"What is it? Why are you crying?"
"I love you too Jeffrey, I wouldn't live a Na no second without you either!"
He was shocked how she discovered that! Elena! Ugh im going to kill her...
"It wasn't Elena… Jeff do you know the Cullen family? Well im a relative of Edward Cullen… the mind reader"
He understood now
He took my face between his hands and whispered
"You weren't exaggerating when you told me about the Na no second thingy?" I shook my head "me neither"
I looked at him, his eyes were a bright aquamarine blue, and he cleaned the tears from my face. I smiled at the act, he smiled at my reaction, and we looked at each other, he loved me, now that I had discovered it, it was very noticeable in his eyes. He wasn't hiding it anymore, at the viceversa he wanted me to know.
I took his face in my hands, how much I had yearned to do this, to touch his silky face in between my hands and never let go. At the touch of my hands, he was slowly reaching for my face, I closed my eyes and waited, I let him open himself… to let go all his feelings.
"Yo! There's an emergency here! I need the bathroom quick!"
So much for a romantic scene...
Let's go to my room, a little more private than the bathroom
Inodded
Please act sickly so there is no suspicions
We got out of the bathroom
I put the same face I had seconds ago and moved on…I really didn't look at the persons face but he looked like Jeffrey only that older
When we were at the privacy of Jeff's bedroom, I was amazed. It was double the size of my bedroom, his bed was a king sized, and there was a bat in the ceiling… wait a minute… a BAT? Why is that thing doing here! Every thing else looked normal… wait a second is that a walk-in closet! I once asked mom for a walk-in closet but she said there was no space in the house, man he has luck.
"So is this official?" he asked
"I think so, what if you make it completely official?"
"Excuse me for a second"
"Ok"
He went to the window and opened it then he said
"Knickt we have a lack of privacy thanks to you, why don't you go and find a girl for yourself?" why of course that'll be a pleasure…in his bat mind he smiled and thought something nasty
The big brownish bat flew away
"Wait a minute you can talk to animals!"
"Yeah it's one of my abilities, kind of cool huh?"
"As cool as mine?"
"Yeah totally, hey wanna check out my other ability?"
"Yeah!"
"Ok hop aboard…"he waited but I was frightened "no we aren't goin to run… we are going to fly" ok that was promising
I jumped to his back and he jumped out of the window, he opened his arms and suddenly a pair of light wings appeared. We flew slowly through the forest until we found a little cave.
"What happened? Are you tired?"
"No I don't get tired easily, but I do need to sleep" he winked at me "but now im going to show you where the heart came from…"
We entered the cave…inside there were crystals….lots of them some glowed some don't. They had the colors of the rainbow…
"But I thought that it came from here" I pointed at his chest
"Part of it but the stone itself came from this cave; the heart is mine though… ok now what were we doing almost half an hour ago?"
I chuckled… then blushed…
"hum I think that if in the mean time if I stop growing… and have to marry you…I think that includes turning you into one of us… im going to miss these red cheeks" he rubbed my cheek with his thumb
"Wait a second! Marry me? What on earth are you talking about?
"Hum this is almost like… a needed tradition we purebloods have… when we meet our life time lover in adolescence. We have to wait until we are fully developed" he looked at me…lover…another word that tickled me "so can marry that person…just for precaution of the Volturi…or the vampire royalty… their rules are to be unnoticed by humans. That's easy for us but when we fall in love that balance is altered, so we have to marry… then turn that person into one of us"
"How much time you have left?"
"Until my last birthday… November 15"
Phew, I was relieved, I liked their life style but I wasn't ready to be like them… neither was I ready for marriage… im only fifteen! How am I going to marry at this age?
"Ok I think im not ready for this Jeff"
"Its ok neither am I"
"Really?"
"Yeah thinking of marriage gives me headache"
I sighed in relief…he wasn't ready either for this needed tradition
I looked at him; he had that same horror face when he thought of marriage that I had
He is stiff… I think he needs a little bit of my medicine…
I took his face in between my hands… and this time I didn't wait… I kissed him… suddenly he was surprised… then he joined me in the parade… then I thought what hour is it? If mom discovers that im not at home, she'll kill me
I interrupted the kiss
"Now that's what I call giving up easily" Jeff buffed
"What hour is it?"
"Oh crap I forgot that I had to take you home"
He took me in his arms and flew away the fastest he could… I was cozy in his arms… so I fell into sleep…
Jeffrey's P.O.V.
At last… she said she loved me…
I looked at her… she had fallen asleep after she robbed me a kiss… well I think she was impatient or she saw my stiffness
Either way its official
I arrived at her window it was almost dawn so I had to hurry
I left her in her bed and tucked her up. I kissed her forehead and when I was almost leaving I looked for my heart… there it was shining brightly in her nightstand. I smiled and left.
"Yo wake up bro you're dazed for almost an hour! What happened? Tell me!"
"Nothing we just told each other our feelings that's all"
She looked at me. She was supposing something
"Are you sure? Because you haven't touched your breakfast"
I looked at my plate…she was right or either she swapped our plates
"I'm completely sure" I said sarcastically and ate my food
I went to my room…there was Knickt who was pleasantly sleeping in his dark corner
"Enjoyed yourself?" I asked
"Totally my friend… I went to a faraway cave and found lots of girls looking for a handsome little brown bat like me"
"You are lying"
"Yes master… but I did ate a berry or two"
"At least you did something last night"
"Yeah... Get out of the routine... that is healthy sometimes"
I nodded…that could be a good idea! Maybe I can visit Jolie and her family and probably help here and there
I got into a pair of jeans, a shirt and moved on to her house before Elena noticed
I parked at her house… it was 10:00 am so they probably will ask me if im hungry… it's a good think I get hungry too or they will suspect something wrong with me…
I cut out the engine and went to the steps… already in the porch I knocked the door. Her dad opened
"Why hello Jeffrey we weren't expecting you… please come in"
"Thank you"
"Hi Jeff! How's it going?" Jolie asked
"Nothing much since I left, and you guys what's new?"
"We are planning a travel to Minnesota isn't that cool?"
"Probably"
"Why don't you come too? Im sure Jolie would like some company either than her brother's"
"Let me ask my parents and we'll see if I can… if it goes that way I can pay my own ticket for the flight"
"Oh no Jeffrey! We are going to Minnesota because we won six tickets to anywhere in the united states yesterday!"
"Really?" how awkward
"Yeah and I didn't know anyone who would have such freedom to come with us without its parents"
"Good point" I snatched my cell phone and dialed my mom's cell phone, she picked it up
"Hello? - Mom its Jeff- oh hi darling is there a problem? - I don't know if this could be classified as problem… but can I go with the Cullen's to Minnesota? – Of course you can! - You guys can't come – don't worry I have too much work to go so far away from home, the same for your dad and Elena is helping Hiou with some paperwork too – and uncle jack? – Ill take care of that don't worry -thanks mom – anytime dear… say hello to my new daughter in law – ok bye" I closed the cell phone
"What did she say?" Mrs. Cullen said
"I can go with you guys"
"Really!" I nodded "alright! We only have to put you name in this ticket… here"
I looked at the ticket… not false at least… and wrote my full name…
"There all set, we'll go tonight so hurry to your home and pack up quick"
"Ill need extra hands and there's no one at home…"
"I can go I packed when mom told me about the flight this morning" Jolie cut out
"No problem with that?"
"No, with you there's no problem" Mr. Cullen said
"Ok let's go Jolie"
We went to my house, in the way she put on the radio and they were playing Haunted from Evanescence… Jolie knew it completely
Longest words whispered slowly to me
Still can't find what keeps me here
When all this time I've been so hollow inside
Watching me
Wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Feeling you
Loving you
I can't feel you pull me down
Haunting you, I can smell you alive
Your heart pounding in my hands
Watching me
Wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Saving me
Raping me
Watching me
I can feel you pull me down
I won't let you pull me down…
"Nice song… you are rocker aren't you?"
"Yeah I totally love that song, kind of awkward but I love it"
I chuckled
"Well I like rock songs too check it out"
Next, they were playing Ghost of You by My Chemical Romance
I never said im lying
Wait forever
If I knew, we'd be together now
I can't always just forget her
But she could try
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You and I are never coming home
Never coming home
Could I should I
And all the things you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are never ever
Ever, get those feelings that you're
Never all alone
And I remember now
At the top of my lungs and my arms
You're dead, you're dead
At the end of the world or the last thing I see
You and I are never coming home
Never coming home
Could I should I
And all the things you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are never ever are going to hug me
Never coming home never coming home
Could I should I
And all the wounds that are ever goin to scar me
For all the ghosts that are never going to catch me
If I fall
If I fall
Down
Whoah!
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You and I are never coming home
Never coming home
Could I should I
And all the things you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are never ever are going to hug me
Never coming home never coming home
Could I should i
And all the wounds that are ever goin to scar me
For all the ghosts that are never going to…
"Strong song, but nice I like that one too" she smiled
"Does this have to do that I sang it?"
"Probably, you made the poor guy sound like a kid" she laughed
I laughed too… she was right… no offence but he sounded bad compared to me ha-ha
"I know Jeffrey"
We arrived to my house
"Why hello Jeffrey! You came for your luggage. I made it for you" ok that surprised me... mom made my luggage.
"That surprised me too Jeff" Jolie whispered "I thought I could stay alone for a while alone with you"
"That was the my idea"
"Sorry, but you just yell them at me"
"Oops sorry"
"Don't worry"
"How's it going Jolie? Enjoyed your stay yesterday?"
"Yeah I did thank you," she said distractedly… she was reading my moms mind to find out why did she made my luggage
"When is the departure?"
"This evening" I said quickly I didn't want her to loose her concentration
"Good, we are going to miss you a bit… don't worry about Knickt he will be okay"
"Just make sure you leave him go out doors and leave the window open"
"Okay, hope you guys have a pleasant travel"
"Thank you Mrs. Williams"
"Please call me Annah"
"Thanks Annah"
"See you in?"
"Like in four weeks if the plane doesn't have a failure"
"Ok see you guys… have fun"
"Bye Annah"
We went back to her home
"What did you find out?"
"Not much, your mom is hiding you something and she doesn't want you to know"
"What is it?"
She sighed "she's planning the wedding so early"
"What! I told her I wasn't ready for that!"
"She just loves weddings and couldn't hold up"
"I forgot that"
"Check the luggage she left something for us in there" I looked her with my eyes like soup plates
I parked the car in the emergency pass and opened the trunk
I opened the bag and inside there was a little box with a ribbon, it had a note.
Enjoy the trip... my little boy is growing so fast …when you are back ill have a surprise for you
I sighed I hope it's not what I think it is
"It is Jeff!" Jolie yelled
"Crap" I opened the little box… there was a pair of rings… both of gold and the same type of rock as the heart I gave Jolie… the female ring was the most creepy… it had a rose made of the gem
I closed the bag and the trunk
And started again the car
"You're mom is worst than mine"
"Im with you in that one"
In the radio, they were playing Avril Lavigne, when you're gone
We sang it together, I took her hand and holded it the way to her home
I always needed time on my own
And never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when im alone
And the bed where you lay it's made up on your sight
When you walk away, I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
When you're gone, the pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone, the face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone the words I need to hear
To always, get me through the day
And make it okay
I miss you
I've never felt this way before
Every thing that I do
Reminds me of you
And the clothes you left
Delay on my floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do
When you walk away, I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
When you're gone, the pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone, the face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone the words I need to hear
To always, get me through the day
And make it okay
I miss you
We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were
No one ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do I give my hear in so
I can hardly breathe, I need to feel you here with me
When you're gone, the pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone, the face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone the words I need to hear
Will always get me through the day
And make it okay
I miss you
When the song ended, she had a tear in her cheek, I cleaned it with the back of my hand, and she kissed my hand.
"That's my favorite song"
"I know babe, I know" I kissed her in the forehead
"Watch the road," she whispered
"Don't worry bout that" I skipped a car without looking to the front
She looked at me amazed
"What can I say? I'm a car racer" she pulled up an eyebrow
We arrived to her house. I took the long way so that it would make the impression that we had been packing the whole hour.
"Hey you guys, finished packing?"
I hid the box in my pocket
"Yeah we did… dad you should have seen his house… its huge!"
"Really? I'll have to pay a visit to you guys sometime"
"OK" that was all I could answer
"Uh dad we have to tell you something" she said what the hell are you doing? He could freak out
"OK what is it? Don't tell me you are pregnant!" I told you so…
"No" she giggled nervously "dad he is my…boyfriend"
"I know he's your boy friend"
"No, he's more than a friend now" she took my hand to keep it cool… it was sweaty
"OK… Elizabeth! Did you hear that? Your daughter has a boy… humph!" she had shut his mouth up with her hand
"Inside okay don't yell it" he nodded
"What darling?" her mom said when we entered
"Let's be symbolic can we mom? Look at our hands"
She screamed when she saw them together, she hugged her daughter by the neck
"Congratulations darling! I always knew you were a lucky girl!" Jolie blushed
"What's all the commotion? I want to hug my sister too!"
"Nothing your business Ian" she spat
"Nah, I went symbolic too…congrats now you have a new topic for me to bug you with!"
She grunted… I silently rubbed her sweaty hand
"Hey are you guys' hungry? I made some stir fry if you guys want some"
I had forgotten of hunger when Jolie told her dad about our relationship… so suddenly I was starving
"I would like some please"
"Right away dear, you tell me how much"
I let go of Jolie's hand, touched her face and left for the kitchen. Man the smell was making me crazy!
"So Jeffrey should I call you son in law now or isn't that a ring box you have in your back pocket" crap how did she know that!
"I'm just kidding... don't worry i wont tell her...."
"she already knows ma'am"
"ohh my so early?"
"my mother is the impatient type"
"ohh i see...here is your food....enjoy!"
"thanks"
I ate in silence untill it was time to go...
