I don't Kyle XY or Twilight. I am just having some fun with the characters
Once upon a time Jessi wished that she could get on a car and drive far away. Now that she was actually doing it she hated the very idea. She guessed it was true. You should be careful what you wish for.
It just wasn't fair. She finally got together with Kyle, she finally had a family but because of that damn Latnok she had to lay low. She wanted to stay and risk it but Kyle was too afraid that Latnok might hurt her because of the accident she had caused. He wanted her to go away until he could smooth things over and reach some kind of an agreement. Personally Jessi didn't think they would be that drastic. After all they could always replace Cassidy, the crater wasn't that big and the Air Force would probably lose interest sooner or later and she thought that if anything her presence might strengthen Kyle's position but she couldn't refuse him, he had that effect on her
So now here she was heading for her hideout. What Josh described as the ass of the world. The town of Forks . It was the perfect location for her. Close enough so that she could reach Kyle in a few hours, small and isolated enough to hide and considering the amount of rain they got here the water would be very useful for an extra boost to her powers in case she needed it
She was near the city limits when the relaxing music was interrupted by a special message on the radio
This is Bob Fleur reporting for Fork FM. My fellow citizens I have a sad news. Today the daughter of our beloved Police Chief Charlie Swan has died in a tragic accident. Isabelle Swan just 17 years old died en route to our town. The accident occurred in the third mile diner where girl drowned in her chicken soup. The exact details are still unclear
Jessi was puzzled for a moment. Could this actually happen? Was it possible to be clumsy enough to drown in your own chicken soup? Her curiosity about the strange girl didn't last long because she saw the city sign. She still had a lot of work to do
She spent the rest of the afternoon renting a small apartment and enrolling in the local school. The fact that she presented herself as an emancipated teen raised a few eyebrows but she knew that the attention in such a small town would be unavoidable anyway. After unpacking she sold the van. A van was good for moving but she needed something better in case of an emergency.
She went to bed exhausted and almost immediately went to sleep dreaming of Kyle and her new family
Waking up to the gentle sounds of the rain she prepared herself for her first day in the new school. She was a bit nervous. Thankfully the local school still hadn't entered the digital age and almost all of their information was kept on paper. This made forging the documents a bit harder but it would be more difficult to find her as well
As she headed to school and saw all the people staring at her she realized that she made her first mistake. She walked. She forgot that people in the USA went almost everywhere with cars, especially when it was raining. Not that the slight drizzle could really be called rain but most people avoided it. Sighing she kept on her two mile walk. She would do better tomorrow
As she arrived in school she tried to remain as invisible as possible but a strange looking boy quickly caught up to her
"You must be Jessica Holt the new girl right? Well the one that made it. Did you hear about the girl who drowned in her soup? Weird! It's too bad we will never get to see her. I heard she was interesting. Anyway hi I am Eric the eyes and ears of this school. Anything you need tour guide, lunch date I am here for you"
"Ahh hi"said a slightly stunned Jessi. The boy talked a lot" Nice to meet you. Call me Jessi"
"Jessi now that sounds cute. It will make such a great feature for the front page. Well the next one, this one we are dedicating to soup girl"
"No please I really don't want to be…"
"Chill girl. No feature ok?" he said smiling.
The rest of the day didn't go according to Jessi's expectations. It seemed that Eric wasn't the only one interested in her. In her previous school apart from the period where she showed off her powers most people ignored her with very few occasionally taking the time to call her a freak. Here everybody seemed fascinated with her, probably because her fake background was from N.Y. By lunchtime she was practically surrounded by people asking her all kinds of questions
And then she saw them. She could feel there was something unusual about them. She listened as one of the girls started talking about how they were called the Cullens, who was dating who, who was their foster father and so on. And then she saw him. He was even more unusual then the rest of them. As soon as she saw him she felt a slight push against her mind. She kept throwing glances at their table. She was intrigued by them. And the strange boy that as she understood was called Edward was also staring at her.
"That's Edward Cullen. Totally gorgeous obviously but apparently nobody here is good enough for him. So like really don't waste your time"
"I already have a boyfriend" said Jessi before she could stop herself. Big mistake she had to spend the next fifteen minutes trying to avoid answering questions about Kyle
She saw Edward soon enough. He turned out to be her lab partner. She wasn't quite prepared for the hostility he threw her way. She hadn't felt so unwanted since the last time she was in a room with Amanda Bloom. It was kind of distracting. She couldn't pay attention to the class because of the constant and almost murderous looks he was throwing her way and the strange feeling that was even more intensified as she stood in such a close proximity to him. He almost flew out of his seat as the bell rang running away from her. Jessi thought it was strange but she knew some people didn't like her and had learned to live with it
She didn't think too much about it since he was absent from school in the next few days. And she was too busy settling in. She finally found herself a ride. A beautiful Ducati 1098. Normally she wouldn't be able to afford something like this but she got lucky. The owner had been in an accident and while he was unharmed the super bike was quite thrashed. The repairs would be worth a fortune so he agreed to sell it to her just for five hundred dollars. It took her two days to repair it and she couldn't really fix the cosmetic damage but it was worth it. Even with all the damage it was a beautiful bike and it practically purred with power underneath her. With this she could reach Kyle in less then two hours. Maybe even one if she really pushed it
Sadly she couldn't take her bike out for a ride. The roads were too wet these last few days and she had yet to buy suitable tires for her bike. So she walked to school again. It was a little weird day. Both Mike andErik started asking her something about the prom but never got to finish as they seemed more interested on bickering with each other.
And then she saw that her lab partner was back. She sighed as she headed for her desk. She didn't feel like enduring another hour full of hostile staring but she had no choice. Strangely as it turned out there was no trace of hostility. In fact he seemed downright friendly, introducing himself and constantly asking questions about her life. He was more interested then her then even her other schoolmates. She tried deflecting a few times but it was futile. He was interested in every aspect of her life.
After school ended Jessi was sorting a few things in her bag when she noticed that Edward was still looking at her. And then she heard the loud screech of tires and loud honking. Turning around she saw an out of control van heading straight towards her. She quickly calculated it's trajectory and jumped sideways however what was supposed to be a graceful landing was ruined as she was tackled mid air and fell to the ground. Hard. A little out of breath she saw who took her down. It was none other then Edward who now sitting on top of her asking if she was ok.
"I am ok but can you please not sit on me?" she asked still a little out of breath and already feeling her clothes getting soaked by the wet ground
"I wanted to make sure you are ok" he said in a very concerned voice that for a fraction a second brought back memories of Kyle. She didn't really have the heart to tell Edward that he didn't save her but simply ruined her T-shirt so she just went with
"Thanks"
If she wasn't so soaked and if her back didn't ache she might have wondered how he got to her so fast. But right now she too preoccupied with reassuring everybody that no she didn't need to go to a hospital . And then she had to console Tyler who was freaking out because he nearly hit her
The next few days were a bit crazy. She finally got her bike on the road which unfortunately brought even more attention at school. Not a very good tactic when you are trying to blend in but it did allow her to explore the beautiful nature around here. But what was really crazy was the change in Edward. He was constantly trying to get close to her, offering to teach her how to ride a bike, sharing lunch with her. She even saw him a few times in the forests she liked to explore and near her apartment
She was quite amazed at this attention. Nobody till now had went through so much trouble for her. But all thoughts about Edward came to a crashing halt as she headed to Port Angeles. She used the shopping trip a few of her classmates were doing for the prom as an excuse to come but she quickly ditched them at the shop and went to her real destination. A secret date with Kyle in a nice café near the edge of the city. It was so good to see him again. They spend the entire afternoon together
When it came time to go back Jessi felt so good she could almost float. It had been a magical afternoon. But as they say all good things come to an end. In the alley near where she parked her bike she met four rather unpleasant drunks. She tried avoiding them but they circled her. They started talking to her about parties, having a drink, how pretty she was. She told them to go away but they wouldn't listen. In the end one of them grabbed her shoulder and Jessi spurred by unpleasant memories reacted immediately. In ten seconds they were all lying on the ground moaning in pain except for their leader. She had grabbed his throat and forced him on his knees in front of her. She wouldn't kill him but she wanted to give him a good lesson. But she let go as she suddenly heard the squeal of tires again and saw Edward's car rushing towards them.
He actually seemed to be more surprised then her
"You beat them" he asked not quite believing what he was seeing
"Yeah I know martial arts …what are you doing here?" asked a very surprised Jessi
"I was….I" he was speechless for a moment
"Were you following me?"
"I feel…I feel very protective of you" he said with some difficulty not quite used to talk about his feelings
"Oh….ok I understand" Jessi said and headed towards her bike not really sure how to handle the situation
"I will drive you home" despite the fact that she could obviously defend herself Edward still felt nervous about her
"No thanks. I am not leaving my bike" and then she quickly headed home breaking a few speed limits along the way. She had a lot of to think about. Right before she went to sleep she recognized Edwards form in the trees near her apartment
The next day Jessi was in the school's library trying to find some peace. Just as she was in the middle of reading some fascinating theories about black holes she felt someone sitting near her. It was Edward. He gently smiled at her and started doing his homework
During the next ten minutes she could feel his eyes. He was constantly staring at her, smiling in her direction whenever she turned to look at him. She could feel her heart starting to beat faster. And when she felt him smelling her hair she couldn't restrain herself anymore. She knew she shouldn't do this, she knew it was wrong, she knew that it would attract too much attention to her, that she would disappoint Kyle but she couldn't help herself. It was almost like some primal part of her brain was in control of her body. She turned to face Edward, she grabbed his hair, she pulled him closer and then……she smashed his face through the desk. The desk being quite old and not used to abuse exploded in a shower of splinters as Edwards head crashed right through it and continued down until it hit the floor with a thud.
"Stop stalking me you creep" screamed Jessi and stormed out of the library
Bet you weren't expecting this ending :) Sorry Edward fans but even a vampire can't tear Jessi away from Kyle
