Author's Notes: Wassap! This is my first fan-fic. Be gentle. This is loosely based on real life situations and events but for the most part its all in my head. Oh and none of this shit is mine, it all belongs to SM like everyone else's stuff on here. Working on Ch.2 now! Hope you guys enjoy it.
Prologue:
Oh Jesus.
This is NOT happening.
"Bella! Get your skinny little ass over here NOW!"
Christ, what the hell am I suppose to do in this kind of situation? It's not like I'm use to cops chasing my ass for stacking deer and gnomes and then having to run what felt like a god damn 10K down a
street. And to make matters worse, I don't know where the FUCK I am! Sure this road trip idea sounded fan-freakin-tastic two weeks ago. But now that I am being hunted down by the law, I'm having second thoughts.
"Shit! Get down!"
"Umph!"
The next thing I know, I'm being violently shoved behind the nearest bush and landing on something hard. But not like concrete hard. It was a soft, warm, and sexy hard. I looked up to see that I was face-to-face
with him.
"Oh. Uhm. Hey?"
He just smirked like the ass he is.
"Shh!"
We all looked in the direction of the headlights through the bush. The car turned the corner and slowly made its way down the street towards us. Is it normal for my heart to be sporadically beating out of control
like this? No? Okay that's what I thought.
The cop was right in front of us now. For what felt like ages, I saw him slow down, roll his window down and look this way. But then he started slowly moving again.
"Oh, thank God," he whispered and I relaxed against him.
"Rah, rah, ah ah ah, Roma, roma ma, Gaga ooh la la!"
"Shit! Shit, fuck, shit!"
He scrambled to reach into his jean pocket but since I was laying on top of him, he couldn't get it. I tried helping but only succeeded in feeling him up in the process. I swear I heard him groan.
The cop stopped. The door opened and a pair of black boots and brown pants stepped out. A bright light then blinded me before I could see the rest of him.
"Hey kiddos! How we doin' tonight?"
Shit.
2 Months Earlier
"So your mom is perfectly fine with this? Because I find that very hard to believe."
I was sitting on my bed attempting to finish a paper for my Psychology class but failing epically. Instead, I was balancing the phone between my shoulder and my ear talking to Alice while checking Facebook on my laptop. I mean, really? Professors actually expect us to give a shit about Pavlov's dogs when freedom is only three weeks away? Yeah, no. Not happening.
"Yeah, I mean obviously she's not doing flips and shit but she said as long as we are smart and responsible and don't get in trouble with the cops along the way then we can go. And I think throwing Edward into the
mix helped a tad."
Ah, Edward. Thank God for Alice's older brother because if it wasn't for him, my life would seriously suck ass. He has been my best friend since 7th grade, even though technically he was in 8th grade at the
time, but that's beside the point. He and Alice were the first people I met when I moved to Ohio to live with my mom and her new boy toy, Phil. I was in my Math class on the first day of school when a tiny
little girl sat down next to me with shoulder length black hair, blue-gray eyes, and a huge smile on her face.
"Hi! I'm Alice. You're new right? I've never seen you around here before. Did you come from Florida? I heard that you came here from Florida. But you're, like, super pale so I wasn't for sure 'cus everyone from Florida is, like, super tan."
As freaked out as I was at the time, I knew somewhere deep down that Alice and I were going to be best friends. It wasn't until a couple days later that I realized that she wasn't the only best friend I was going to get.
My first encounter with Edward was an interesting one to say the least. I was going over to Alice's house for the first time after school to hang out and I wasn't even two steps through the door when I was shot down by a Nerf dart to the face.
"Oh my- I am so sorry!"
I looked up with my good eye from my spot on the floor to see an older boy with a head full of copper hair that looked like it could use a good washing. He had a big ass Nerf gun in his hand and was awkwardly standing next to me wondering whether or not he could help me.
"Nah, I'm fine. It's not like I need my left eye or anything." I replied. When in situations like these, sarcasm is my only defense.
To my surprise, he actually laughed and said, "You're lucky I didn't use the one I modified. But I am really sorry about that, I was aiming for Alice. I'm Edward" he said with smirk that would make any girl go weak and stuck his hand out to shake.
I took his hand and gave it one good shake. "Bella" I said with a smile of my own.
"Bella? Herrro?," Alice asked.
"Oh, sorry," I said, pulling myself back to the present conversation,"yeah I guess it does help that he's 20 and a male. No way in hell are they gonna let us go if it is just you and me. If being the key word. My mom is still having an aneurism from when I mentioned it to her the first time."
"Well did you mention to her that Edward is going now?," she asked.
"No, I was going to talk to her about it again tonight. I'm cooking dinner so maybe that'll butter her up a little. Wait! I have a genius idea!" I said.
"Shocking."
"Bitch. Anyway, do you and Edward want to come over for dinner? I think if we're all there to argue our case it'll crack her sooner."
"You know, that actually sounds like a good idea! This is rare for you Bella, I think a breakthrough is coming."
"You know I expect this kind of behavior from Edward but never from you, Alice" I retorted.
"Oh my god, you're right. What the hell am I turning in to?"
I chuckled, "Apparently some freak who doesn't shower and plays Call of Duty: Black Ops all day."
"I shower!"
"What the hell? How the fuck did he hear that?" I asked.
"Cus you're on speaker, dumb ass. And I do too shower. You should know of all people." I could hear the smirk in Edward's voice even through the phone.
"What the hell does that mean?" I replied.
"Just the other night you were saying how delicious I smell. Something along the lines of 'spicy, sexy man smell' if I am not mistaken."
"One, I was under the influence. Two, I was complementing Axe, not you. And three, are you guys coming over or not?" I asked them.
"Hells fuckin' yeah! Wait, did you say you were cooking?" he asked with complete horror. Whatever, the ass-hat knows I'm a B.A.M.F. when it comes to cooking.
"Ha ha. Hilarious. My house at 6. See you guys then."
"See ya!" and "Lata" was the last thing I heard before I hung up the phone.
"It's only going to be for 4 weeks, 5 tops. We are going to take Edward's Jeep because it can hold all of our stuff and gets better gas milage than the truck. We have all been saving money up over the summer and during school and between all three of us, we have enough cash and then some. We'll pay for the hotels, gas, food, all of it. No money out of your pockets. And once we get to Colorado-"
"Hold up"
I was cut off from my well-rehearsed speech by my mom sticking her tiny, little hand up.
"Why Colorado?" she asked in an integrative voice.
We were all gathered around our dinning room table after eating the delicious, if I do say to my self, meal I prepared. Edward was to my left and Alice on my right while my mom and Phil sat on the other side of the table. It feels like we are on some weird episode of CSI: Miami or some shit.
"Because my boyfriend, Jasper lives there, Mrs. Swan. His parents know we are coming and said it would be great to see all of us. And plus, Jasper hasn't seen any of us in months and he really misses his best friends." Thank God for Alice and her ability to woo parents with her cuteness because I could literally see my mom thaw a little just from her talking.
"Oh. Okay. But why can't you guys just fly there if you have so much money saved up?" my mom continued, "I really don't feel comfortable with you all driving across the country by yourselves. I know you are 19 and 20-years-old and are responsible young adults, but there are lots of things you have to take into consideration if you want to drive the whole way there. Like what if your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere and you have no one to call? Or some pervert comes along and-"
This time, my mother was the one being cut off.
"Mrs. Swan-" Edward started.
"Renee" she corrected him.
"Renee," he said with a small smile and I swear I saw my mom blushed, "I promise you, none of that will happen. I've been on a couple road trips before and I know what to expect. We can rent a hotel room if we get too tired at night and I am willing to drive for the majority of the trip. I'm not saying it will all be smooth sailing but I know for a fact that I would not let anything happen to Alice or Bella. They are the most important girls in my life and I'll protect them from any pervert out there. I promise."
I don't know how my mom is still sitting in her chair because I would have fallen off a long time ago from how much he was making her swoon. She sat with her arms crossed and had a contemplating look on her
face. She looked to Phil for some back up but he just shrugged and said, "Kid's got my vote."
She then looked all three of us in the eye one at a time to see if we really wanted this. I knew for a fact that I wasn't showing any sign of weakness. I've wanted to go on this trip since I was sixteen and she
knew it.
Mom took a big breath through her nose and Edward, Alice, and I held ours.
"Okay." she whispered after a long pause.
"Yes!" we all exclaimed at the same time. Edward relaxed back in his chair while I did a fist pump and Alice started clapping.
"BUT! You are to call me everyday of this trip. No! Twice a day giving me updates and details on where you are and if everything is okay." my mom added.
"Got it"
"Will do"
"Perfectly fine."
We were all to busy freaking out to really register what my mom was saying. Alice was grabbing my arm and squeezing the life out of it while she let out a squeal that made Ralph, our husky, perk his head up from where he was laying on the floor. I turned to Edward and found that he was smiling that perfect smile at me and I couldn't help but return it. He gave my knee a little squeeze and I put my hand over his.
This was actually happening.
Road trip: Colorado is officially a go.
Thanks for reading! Ill try and get the second chapter up soon if you all are still interested.
