Lies, Lies Go Away, Come Again Another Day

I jumped as I was jarred from my dreams as my alarm clock blared through the entire house, waking up my brother and sister. I scrambled to turn it off, but all I ended up doing was tangling myself in my sheets. Finally I just slammed the offending object on the ground repeatedly, smashing it into tiny pieces.

"Ahhhh!" I heard my sister groan as she pulled herself out of bed. I smirked, not feeling sorry for her. That's what she gets for pushing me into the lake by our house yesterday, for no good reason. I promised retribution, and she got it.

I heard the stomping of her furious footsteps before she rounded the corner to my room, and I braced myself for her rage, knowing how she gets when she was pissed. She slammed my door open, breaking the door stopper and forcing the door handle into the wall, effectively trapping the door open.

I looked up and saw my sister's livid expression. "What's wrong Emily?" I asked in my most innocent voice, still smirking at her. She scowled at me and her green eyes flashed bright with power.

"Don't give me that crap, Domonique! I know that you're the one who set the alarm up on full blast! You did that on purpose didn't you?"

"Why would I do that my dear sister?" I said in a sugar-coated voice. She bared her now exposed fangs at me.

"Beca-" She cut herself off when she saw the date on my calendar.

"Oh crap! Today we start school!" She screeched. I rolled my eyes at her and laid back down on my blanket-less bed, all of them balled up on the floor.

"Can you shut the fuck up for at least one goddamn second. She poked her tongue out at me and flipped me the bird and looked at the time. "Ok. Good. You woke us up at 5:00 a.m., so we have time to get dressed and do our make-up."

Our other sibling, our brother, walked in at that moment scrubbing at his eyes. "Wahhh? What's with all the screaming?" He asked tiredly. I just gave a pointed look at Emily. He understood immediately.

"I'm going back to bed." He started to walk out of my room, muttering about how 'bitches be trippin' and shit'.

"Today we're going to school!"

"Does this look like the face of someone who gives a shit?" To be honest, it didn't. It really didn't. But we needed him to be with us when we went, because he was our comrade in arms and we wouldn't be complete without him.

"You get to meet GIRLS!" I said getting slightly desperate. It was amazing, the emotional attachment we all had to each other. Yes, we all bickered and fought, but at the end of the day we were all each other had.

His head snapped up at that one. "Girls?" He asked surprised, as if he thought that there wouldn't be girls at a public school.

I nodded. "Oh yes. Girls just throwing themselves at you because of your muscles." I cooed sweetly. I could feel his thirst increase as time went on, and internally rolled my eyes. His eyes brightened and I could see the gears turning in his head as he made a plan. "Ok girls, chop chop! We only have," he glanced at the clock,"2 hours to get ready! Let's go!"

Emily and I shared a knowing look, and just rolled our eyes. "Whatever," we sighed together. And then we started to get ready for Forks High School.

Edward Pov

EDWARD! Get your lazy venom coated bones down here in something I would be proud of.

I sighed as I heard the thoughts of my favorite sister. I then walked across my room, and shut off my giant stereo, lamenting the existence of myself. Sometimes I wondered what the point of living was when you had access to everything. Money, people, thoughts. It's as if I was handed everything on a silver platter, and then I was expected to not get bored of it. The chase is half of the fun for most, but for me it was all of it.

Alice POV

I waited impatiently, tapping my foot and pacing. "What is taking him so long?" I said out loud, mostly to myself. Sometimes I worried about Edward, seeing as he didn't have a mate like the rest of us. He really didn't have anything to live for like the rest of us. I would get flashes of him committing suicide sometimes, a bit of fire here, a red cloak there. But they would instantly vanish and I would question whether or not I really saw them.

Then, my completely amazing best friend, decided to come over and peck me on the cheek. I soon then heard his voice, expressing a melodic concern for me.

"Ali, what's wrong? Your emotions are all over the place. From anger, to sadness, to impatience. Can you tell we what's going on? You know I don't like being out of the loop." He asked in a southern drawl. Even though we had secretly divorced ten years prior, Jasper still made sure that I was alright, and that I was cared for. We really were better as friends than in a relationship.

"I'm just worried about Edward," I whispered, "Sometimes I think that he's going to kill himself." He pulled me into a hug, and kissed the top of my head. "Don't worry, he'll be fine. We're his family, we'll take care of him." I nodded, and hugged hum closer.

Edward finally came down the stairs, and I hugged him. He seemed surprised, but hugged me back.

"We're family. Remember that."

Then we said our goodbyes to Esme, and walked to Edward's Volvo.

2 Mins. Later

We got to school early because of Edward's crazy driving. When I got out of the car, I started to bounce up and down on the balls off my feet in anticipation. Jasper had to put a hand on my shoulder to calm me down. "Ali, why are you so excited? It's freaking me out!"

I was sucked into a vision for a minute, and came back out. Edward didn't see the vision because he wasn't paying attention.

"Alice! What did you see?" Jasper asked franticly. I only smiled at him.

"They're here!"
