Destination: Twilight Zone
Chapter 1: Destination: Forks, Washington
"Whatever you guys." I rolled my eyes at my friends. They were reading Eclipse and swooning over Jacob. Who likes Jacob anymore? Apparently my friends. I personally preferred Edward. Sexy beast needs to dump Bella for me…yeah, I know, I'm a desperate person swooning over a character, but hey, I'm sitting here driving a car while my friends in the back are bouncing up and down waiting to get to Forks, Washington where Edward the character supposedly lives, and I'm bouncing up and down in the seat too.
Come on? It's any girl's dream to live in the one place that the hottest man on Earth lives, and we're about to live it.
"I'm telling you, Jacob is one of the hottest dudes ever." Briana, or better known as Bubbles, said looking up from her posted note Eclipse book into the rearview mirror.
"You just like Jacob because Taylor plays him in the movie." I said trying not to look back there. I was driving and we're having a total face to face argument and I can't turn around.
I could almost see Bubbles roll her eyes. Bubbles has a brown-ish black skin color that stands out in our 'international' (my mom's words, not mine) group of Twilighters. Her black hair is short like my blonde hair, and sometimes she had it pulled back. But today it was down, as was all of my friend's hair. She's a basically random person, and as perverted as I am.
Our group basically includes Taty, Laureeses, Nahni, Niyah, Bubbles, and me of course!
"Ok, I admit it, but you still got to admit Tay is one sexy guy." Bubbles said pointing at me.
I knew it was coming, so I had a comeback ready, but before I could say it, Laura, better known as Laureeses, put her hand up. She was sitting shot-gun, and she turned so she was facing the rear of our van.
"Okay, we all know that Taylor is one hot dude, but can we stop arguing? We're almost there and Lemon has to concentrate." She turned around when she heard a murmur of 'yes's' and got a bunch of nods. She clamped her tan hand on my shoulder. It was the closest high-five we could get since I was driving, but we both knew what it was meant for.
Laureeses is like a sister to me, and she knows things that even twins wouldn't know about each other. Her brown hair is as short as mine, but is much shinier and she's Hispanic. I'm white. We are like the perfect example of America and it's free awesomeness. We call ourselves Lemon and Chocolate because I love lemons (As in Lemons on website called ) and her name involves chocolate, so we call ourselves Chocolate Covered Lemons. We're a duo, and naturally we help each other out.
Laureeses was texting her long-term boyfriend, Bryce, but she would occasionally be the argument stopper.
Bubbles decided this was the perfect time to be random, and blurted out, "Are we there yet?"
I rolled my eyes and said something I know would have the whole car giggling. Or at least would make me giggle. "We're still moving aren't we?"
I heard no laughter, but I could tell everyone was smiling. Bubbles harrumphed and turned to talk to Taty. "Do you think Taylor's a sexy dude?"
"Uh, wrong person to ask, I'm totally Team Seth." Taty said looking at Bubbles, her 'love sucks' glasses ruling half of her face. "Ask Nahni."
Taty's also Hispanic like Laureeses it, though she has the longest hair out of all of us. She was wearing her signature sunglasses that said 'love sucks' on each lenses. I wanted to wear the glasses, but she said if we were going to Forks, she was wearing the glasses. It didn't make sense though, Forks is the wettest place in the United States, but no one ever understands us Twilighters so it didn't really matter.
The GPS we were using said to 'turn left here' and I took a turn. I heard a bunch of muffled profanities and then Nahni was speaking in her quiet, sweet voice.
"I think this is all being blown way out of proportion." She said. I versioned her brown wavy hair up in a ponytail, framing her glasses and her tiny, brown, petite form.
"Whoa, big words, could you dumb it down a little, blonde here." I said, pointing at myself, while earning eye rolls, shaken heads, and giggles.
Nahni didn't say anything, but Shaniyah did. "They fighting over nothing."
"Thanks Niyah." I said as I took a right turn.
"Anytime bestie." She said. She was one of the other black girls in our group, though she was a nice brown. Her hair was done up so she had curls that ran down to about her shoulders. I knew exactly what she was dressing up for.
The funny thing was, we were all going to be disappointed if the Cullen's and the pack wasn't there, and they were fictional characters so…
Laureeses suddenly giggled a girly giggle that she never giggles, and then covered her mouth as I laughed, "What Mr. Heartbreaker say this time?"
"Oh, shut up, and stop calling my man that." Laureeses snapped still smiling.
"He broke my heart and then he asks out my best friend, you think I'm not gonna say anything?" I said looking at her. The car arched side ways and everyone screamed.
I put my eyes back on the road and turned the wheel so the car was back in the lane. "Ok, me looking anywhere but the road is a bad idea."
"Agreed." Everyone said. I could hear several people panting like I actually scared them.
Laureeses looked at me, obviously not letting the subject drop.
"Jessica - ." Laureeses started.
"Lemon." I corrected.
"Lemon, I love you and all, but I think you might want to get over Bryce. He probably doesn't even remember you since you went to a different school for 8th and 9th grade. I think you should just forget him. If you want, I can have him speak to Fabrizzo for you."
"Nah, since we're going to the place where Bella met Edward in Twilight, I'll find Edward and convince him Bella's just a whore. I can totally get Edward to want me, 'cause I'm wantable." I giggled at what I said and stopped at a red light. Again I heard giggles and some of my friends said 'you're weird' under their breath, but hey, I've been aiming for that title since I became 'Lemon.'
Laureeses rolled her eyes and looked at the GPS to see how long we still had until we got to Forks. She squealed as she saw we had 5 minutes.
"5 minutes, my dorky, awesome, perverted, Twilight friends!" She squealed again.
A whole chorus of squeals came through out the van. I even let out a little squeal. I was grinning goofily as was all my friends. This was going to be so much fun.
"Hey, are we still writing in our diaries we bought?" I said, suddenly remembering Laureeses idea of writing our feelings on everything in the notebooks we had in the back.
"I guess we are, we should take 30 minutes before we go to bed to write stuff. Which, by the way, we need to figure out what time we all should be in bed tonight." Taty hugged the back of my seat. It brought her face up to the middle so she could be facing us in the front.
"1 in the morning!" Bubbles squealed.
"Uh, no." Taty let go of the back of my seat to sit in the seats and probably so Bubbles could see her eyes roll.
"How about 12?" Niyah suggested.
"We'd never get up in the morning!" Laureeses said. "This isn't some girly sleepover. We can't just stay up until 6 in the morning and read the Twilight Saga over again."
"I didn't say 6 in the morning!" Niyah said, huffing. "I said 12!"
"Oh, and there's a difference?" Taty said.
"Yeah, a 6 hour difference!" Niyah said, huffing again. I decided I might as well put the fire out.
"Let's go to sleep at 10:30. That way we get into bed at 10, write about the day till 10:30, and we'll all be asleep by 11." I said. Sometimes I had to be the mature one, though it wasn't very often.
"That's fine with me." Laureeses said, though she was staring at the phone probably willing Bryce to text or call her soon.
"Me too!" Bubbles said raising her hand like we were in kindergarten. Leave it to Bubbles to be the kid.
"Whatever." I heard Taty say, which was as good of a confirmation that I could get from her at the moment.
"Sure." Niyah said, while Nahni nodded. Poor thing probably was always quiet because she was afraid she'd upset someone.
"Ok, good. We're a go on -." I stopped in my tracks.
"We're a go on what?" I distantly heard Bubbles say.
That was when I saw the Forks, Washington sign, and I nudged Laureeses to look, and Laureeses and I squealed. Everyone in the back scrambled to see, and then there was another huge chorus of squeals. The only girly squeal I didn't hear was Taty. Her and her "calmness." I figured she wouldn't be fazed by a sign…though it's weird that the rest of us are fazed by it. I stopped the car for a second to take a picture of the sign.
"I don't know about ya'll but if our parents find out we ditched for Forks, Washington without telling them, I need some pictures to remember everything while I'm chained to my bed in my room." I took more pictures of it as other people took out their phones and cameras.
"Alright, I'll take out the map I printed out on Google's maps so that way you can turn off the GPS and let it charge." Laureeses said. (I bought a chargeable GPS.)
It was true, we wanted a major get away since our parents have been pissed at us because after 2 years we were still majorly in love with Twilight. So we decided in 9th grade, after a long pause of not talking to my girls, I called Laureeses up and said the proposition, and she called up everyone else, and we started saving up. It was a trip of Epic proportions because we were literally saving thousands of dollars. I got an account of my own, and since I was old enough to work, I started doing overtime and working my ass off to get where I am now, and so has all my friends. Except Carley and Natalie, they couldn't pay and neither could Bryce, so they stayed behind. Each of us, that was here, have earned at least $1,000 worth of money so we could pay for the house, and so we could pay for the lease and food and everything else we could possible pay for. In all, we had $6,483. As soon as we get to it, we're all getting jobs to pay for anything extra. We also are enrolling in Forks High School.
When we had made the date, which was officially going to be Edward's Birthday, I took my money out of the bank, un-enrolled out of my school(while forging my mom's signature…as did everyone else), and met up with my friends at an abandoned building while I was supposed to be at school.
We were really ashamed at what we were doing. We even took a moment of silence for our parents hoping they wouldn't do anything stupid.
When we had taken off, I used my 30 bucks I got from my "Disney Account" for a tiny GPS. It worked perfectly, and we were off for a trip we would never forget.
The bad part of it all was sometime our parents were going to find out about us leaving and would be looking for us soon. We knew when they met up with our other friend's parents, they'd all know where we went, so we decided to enjoy while we still could.
Laureeses told me to take a turn here, and we we're on the same road as the Fork's Police Station. I figured this was where Charlie was supposed to work, so I turned into the parking lot and parked.
"What are you doing?" Laureeses said, pointing to the road leading opposite of us, "The house is that way."
"Look, if Charlie is in there, I'm going to squeal and probably faint, and if he's not, that could be a start of a whole lot of disappointments, so let's just get it over with." I said already getting out of the car.
"Let's do it." Bubbles said. Laureeses shrugged and got out, as did everyone else.
I was literally bouncing. Taty and Laureeses had to hold me down on the ground as we walked because I couldn't stop. Niyah and Nahni had to do the same thing for Bubbles.
When we got into the Police Station, I let out a tiny squeak. It was just as Stephanie Meyer's had said it would look like. Everyone squeaked to, except for Taty and Laureeses, they were trying to keep me from touching everything.
It was like being in a museum. We were seeing everything we had only dreamed of, and the funny thing was we were in a Police Station!
"Can I help you?" A deep voice said. We all froze, and looked at the mustached man with the laugh-wrinkles at the counter, standing next to a guy with a hat on.
"W-we're here 'because we wanted to see if it was real." I said, and earned at least 5 slaps on the arm. "Ow – oh." I realized these people must not know what Twilight is, and I mentally slapped myself.
They looked at us like we were crazy, and the guy with the mustache and the laughter-wrinkles said, "Well, I'm Charlie Swan, and I'm the Chief of Police in this here town."
I think I died and went to Heaven. I think everyone else around me did too.
"Um, did I say something wrong?" He said.
"N-no officer." Laureeses was the first to recover, "We're just new here, and I we're hungry."
I leaned over and whispered into her ear, "Lame excuse, but knowing Charlie, he'll believe it."
"Ok, well, ya'll enjoy yourselves." He smiled, and we smiled back, before retreating into our van.
"Oh. My. Lemons." I said, "I think I'm in Twilight Heaven."
"Me too." Bubbles said.
"Ok, look, if everything is going to happen like that, we need to set some ground rules." Taty said when she got into the van.
I turned into my seat and looked into the back of the van. "What are they, mother?" I giggled at myself, and Taty scowled.
"Someone's gotta teach this dysfunctional family how to act." She said, and then she looked at the rest of our group. "Look, if we meet any of the Twilight characters, you are not allowed to ask for autographs, pictures, or anything like that. Act normal my friends. Please. These people have probably never met Twilight fans before. They probably don't even know there's a series out there about them. If we're going to fit in, you gotta understand that we can't squeal every time we see a character of the Saga."
"Oh yeah, and you can't even mention it unless it's dyer." Laureeses said.
"What if it's Edward and I want to spend an eternity with him and the only way to do that is tell him I know his secret?" I looking at the expectantly.
"No, he can't know." Taty said. "No one can know."
"But we know." I couldn't help it; I just had to say it.
"Jessica, this is not the time to be a know-it-all." Taty said.
"But Taty, look, Edward is gonna be able to read our minds anyway, so why the hell should we keep it from him. He's gonna find out eventually."
"Then do what Zoey, Damien and they did when they found out Neferet was evil, think about anything but that." Laureeses said, proud of her thinking.
"But I can't. All I think about is Twilight. When I'm not thinking about it, I want to be thinking about it…how the hell am I going to fucking not think about it?" I said, about to cry.
"You're gonna have to, deal with it then." Taty said looking down.
"Can we take a moment of silence for the Twilight thoughts that are going bye-bye?" Bubbles said.
"Whatever suit yourselves." Taty said.
The van was silent, except for some tears that caused us to make weeping noises.
"Oh, grow up." Taty said probably rolling her eyes.
"Sorry, that's one of the things on my 'never do' list." I said, smiling at myself as I pulled out of the parking spot.
"Go that way." Laureeses pointed to the way I was heading.
"No, it's that way." I pointed the opposite direction.
"Shut up and put your other hand on the steering wheel before I do it for you." I stuck my hand in her face and then put it on the steering wheel.
"There, there." Laureeses pointed at a brown 3 story-house.
It was pretty. It looked just like I thought it was going to look like. The bricks were brown and red. The columns holding up the second floor balcony had carvings of 'angels' as the website had said they were, but we bought it because the carvings looked like vampires. I could already see Fridays. We decided to make our Friday's party day, and I knew this house was going to be trashed afterwards, and we decided to also buy a person to come and clean it up, since we were that lazy. Besides, we would probably be on hard hangovers the next day.
I pulled up in the driveway, and parked the car. No one moved. We all stared at the columns in front the house. I was the first to scream.
"We're finally here!" I squealed getting out of the car and spinning around as it started to pour. "We're finally here!"
I'm sure the neighbors were watching, and I'm sure the people in the cars that passed by probably were watching too, but I pulled Bubbles and Laureeses and everyone else out of the car and started dancing with them. We started singing our 'friendship song' that we discovered in 7th grade, Don't Trust Me. We even did all the hand movements, and suddenly Laureeses stopped.
"Oh fuck, I'm so stupid." She said, running to the car.
I shrugged and we spinned around more, taking turns with each other. Suddenly that same song we had been singing earlier was booming from the radio in the car.
"No way, you bought the CD?" Bubbles and I squealed as Laureeses came around the car holding up the CD.
"Well, since Lemon left, I figured when we met up again, I'd have this CD with me, and we could dance to it, like old times." Laureeses looked sad, thinking about before when I was gone. She perked up. "Besides, we're here, in Forks, Washington, in the rain, dancing, and I figured the real song would just perk us all up."
Happy, fat, tears started streaming down my cheeks, "You did this for me?"
Laureeses nodded.
I ran at her, squealing, "Thank you, and thank you a million times again! They don't even make these albums anymore." I said taking the album and sticking it in the car.
"Why put it away?" Laureeses seemed hurt.
I laughed at her. "Your being such a blonde, and you're not…it's gonna get wet and the art on it is gonna get ruined!"
I hugged her and we danced to the rest of the song, and all the other songs on the CD.
Ditching to Forks is probably the best thing I've done in a long time.
