"Hey mom?" I said walking into her and Emmett's room. There room is somewhat bigger than mine and a HUGE bed, but that didn't really bother me.
"Hey Bree." She smiled from the bed and patted the spot next to her. I smiled a little and sat down. Only when I sat down did I notice that she was sitting in Emmett's lap. "Did you need anything?"
I shook my head. I just wanted to be with my family, even though I was just getting used to having one. I smelled that delicious smell again and healed my breath.
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it." Emmett smiled when he noticed that my body wasn't digesting air.
"Really? How come she's always around?" I asked.
"Edward loves her. She's kind of his… pet." He replied with a quick smile.
I nodded slowly and wondered how Edward could control himself.
"So is the thirst getting any better?" Rosalie asked. When I nodded, she smiled. "Glad to hear it. Usually the animal blood helps control it."
"That's interesting." I smiled and pulled my My Chemical Romance sweatshirt closer to me.
"So you like My Chemical Romance?" Emmett asked. I nodded. "Really? I heard there coming to Seattle. I'm sure you can control your thirst a little more to go with me. I mean, there all vampires too, but very old ones like Carlisle. They have a better control over their thirst than the rest of us, but I'll keep you in check." He winked.
I smiled and nodded. My parents knew My Chemical Romance? Awesome!
"I'll make some calls." Rosalie smiled.
"Thank you!" I gave them a hug and got up, walking into Alice's room. "Hi…'' I said from the doorway.
"Hey!" she jumped up from her chair and hugged me. "How are you today?"
"Really good." I replied.
Jasper smiled. "You have that oara about you."
I laughed at the inside joke and sat down against the wall.
"So what's up?" Alice asked, sitting down across from me.
"I just wanted to know the story of how you guys met. I heard everyone else's story except Edward… but I'll wait to hear that until… later."
She smiled and took my hands. "Well, my and Uncle Jazzy met in a café, actually. I saw him wandering into there and decided I'd meet him."
"What do you mean you 'saw him'?" I asked.
"I got a vision." She smiled.
I laughed at my stupidity. "How did you come to the Cullen's?"
"Well, we were nomads, but one day we stumbled across the Cullen's and we just couldn't leave." She smiled. I smiled and nodded.
"Was it love at first sight?" I asked, thinking of Diego.
Jasper smiled from his spot on the bed and nodded. "Most definitely. I mean, what's not to love about her?"
We laughed and I got up. "I think I'm going to go down to that little lake by where we played baseball the other night." I said, walking toward the door.
"Okay. Have fun!" she smiled.
I smiled and walked out, down the hall, and jumped out the window right next to Edward's door. Finally alone with my thoughts I walked into the forest, carefully keeping my distance from the guarded treaty line that separated our land from the giant wolves. Once I was deep in the woods, I sat down on a log. My mind wandered from every subject such as My Chemical Romance, to wolves, to my new family, but I couldn't keep my thoughts away from Diego, my one true love that perished in a battle that neither one of us wanted to take place. Stupid Victoria. It felt so odd knowing her name, nonetheless saying it in my head after calling her 'her' for most of my newborn life.
"Thought I would find you out here." My head snapped up to see Edward standing before me.
"You heard my thoughts." If I were a human, I would be blushing like crazy.
"Maybe. Or maybe it was your sent. Or maybe I'm just that good of a tracker." He smiled and sat down next to me.
I smiled and looked at him.
"So, tell me about this Diego."
I sighed. Could I build the strength to talk about him? "Well, we met when we were out hunting with a bunch of meatheads. We ditched them and began to hunt by ourselves, then one day, before we figured out that we didn't have to hide from the sun, we were in this cave and just…. I dunno."
"I know how you feel, well, at least I think I do." He said.
"How?"
"Well, I fell head over heals for Bella the minute I saw her."
"How come you won't change her, then? How can you stand the smell?"
He laughed. "Everyone asks me that. I just… don't wanna ruin her soul, I guess. And, I just got used to the smell after a year or so."
"So I have to wait that long to not wanna kill her? I mean, no offence, but she just makes me thirsty."
"No. it took everyone a different amount of time to…. Warm up to her."
"Oh… okay." I said and got up. "I should probably get back."
He nodded. "I'll see you later."
"Aren't you coming?"
"Nah. I think I'll hunt a little and go over to Bella's."
"Okay." I gave him a quick hug and ran back to the house.
Inside, Emmett and Rosalie were snuggled up on the sofa in the main living room watching some football game and he was playing with her hair while she read a magazine.
"Hey. I think I'm gonna go watch a movie." I said as I walked past them up the stairs.
"Okay. Night." Rosalie called.
"Night mom. Night dad." I said walking into my room.
And this was the part where I wish I were still human, that I had a real family when I was human. I wish I could go to sleep or had Emmett to tuck me in or get the monsters from under my bed. Or Rosalie to take me shopping or to the toy store. But I guess I was blessed to have them now.
