Animal I have Become - Part Two
So what if you can see
The darkest side of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe its not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
Help me believe its not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
Emmett Cullen
"There is seriously nothing else to do in this town," I complained to Jasper. "I mean come on! No new ladies in the bars, no new bars, parties are lame now. We need to do something… Fun."
Jasper rolled his eyes. "This is a first for me. You saying that this scene isn't fun anymore." He placed a hand over his mouth as if shocked that I wasn't still the same guy. I frowned at him.
"You know what I mean!" I grumbled.
"Of course I do." Jasper laughed. "But you have to understand that what are we going to do? Go to Vegas? That would be just as lame. Lets go… out of the country!"
"Out of the country?"
"Yeah to like Europe or something! We have enough money saved. You cant say that Carlisle and Edward wont want to go!"
I frowned. My life savings going into one trip… Its better than on beers and shit like that I wont deny that. Edward might not go for this kind of thing… he's always got his head in a book.
I slammed my fist down on the table Jasper and I were sitting at. The librarian glared at us. "Shhh!"
We both doubled over in laughter. As we began to quiet down again this old lady came up to us and set a book down. "I thought you both might be interested in this book."
I glanced down at the book and looked back up to tell the lady we didn't read but she was gone. I finally took a really good look at the book. What to see and do in Spain. What the hell was she listening in on our conversation before?
Jasper grinned at me. "This is a sign. We should go to Spain!"
"No."
"Come on bro! What if Carlisle and Edward both say yes?"
"Then fine." I huffed as Jasper began to flip through the book. This is what I get for saying that this town was boring.
Edward Cullen
I glanced down at the address Carlisle had written for a good place to eat. I knew I wouldn't be late for anything by stopping by to eat. Carlisle had told me that the employer was a real piece of work or but the service and food was good.
I entered into the store looking around for someone. "Hello?"
A girl around my age was kneeling down on the floor answered. "Here."
I smiled at her and sat down. Trying to think of some small talk I said "So what exactly is this place?" I continued to look at her as she stood up.
"We serve food… anything really."
I nodded not really caring what they served here but the person serving it. I glanced at the menu. There wasn't anything I was particularly looking at just looking.
She came over and set her hand on the table as if trying to steady herself. "What can I get you to drink?"
I noticed her name tag. Nicole. Hmm cute name. Returning to reality I said "Water is fine."
She nodded and left to get my drink. I sighed already missing her. I heard a voice say "You better give him good service." I shivered at the coldness in the voice that had spoken. He was no one to mess with. Now I was trying to remember the employer's name… James? Yeah that's it.
She came back out a moment later. "Here you go." She slid the water on the table. "Anything else I can get you?"
I remembered that I needed to eat and hadn't really looked at the menu so I just pointed at something random hoping it was good.
She turned and grabbed it then set it down in front of me. I could feel her staring but I really didn't mind. I was staring at her when she wasn't looking so it didn't really matter much. Eventually I had finished it and glanced at her. "The bill please?"
She sighed and grabbed my bill. She handed it to me and I smiled down at it as I slid my card into it. Most girls freak out when they learn my name. I mean the odds of an Edward Cullen out there was far to none. Let alone one that fit the description.
I watched her run my card waiting for her reaction but I didn't see or hear one. Weird. So I asked "Are you the only person that, well works here?"
"No," She mumbled. "I am the only person that works today. Other days there are more of us."
I nodded. She glanced down at my card. Come on she had to have seen it now! She glanced over at me. Hmm this wasn't the usual reaction. She walked over and set the card down. "Thank you Mr. Cullen and have a good day."
My eyes widened. She had noticed but didn't freak out? She wasn't the usual girl. Interesting.
I slid my card into my wallet and pulled out roughly fifty dollars and dropped it on the table. I stood to leave when I heard a muffled gasp. Did she finally react to my being Edward Cullen?
I turned to see her behind me. "Did you mean to leave this big of a tip?" She demanded waving the money in front of my face.
Had I left more? Good. "How big of a tip would that be?"
"Fifty Dollars." She stated.
"Yep you got it right then." I flashed her a grin and left.
Time to get back to reality but I couldn't seem to get her out of my head. I walked down the street. "Sonny?" An older lady called from behind me.
I turned. "Yes?"
"You dropped this." She stated. I took it and looked to see what is was. Something about Spain.
"I am sorry Ma'am but this isn't -" I started to look up only to see I was talking to myself. "Weird." And with that I turned and left with this pamphlet about Spain still in my hand.
Carlisle Cullen
I got back at the apartment I shared with my three brothers, Emmett, Edward and Jasper. They were all standing around discussing something important, I bet. They hardly talked when we were together so this was a welcoming thing.
"Carlisle!" exclaimed Edward as he ran to me. "We have to do this! We have the money and please. Its perfect."
I glanced down to see it was about a trip. A trip to Spain? I glanced at Jasper who just shrugged his shoulders and then looked at Emmett who didn't seem to care much. "Well how much is this going to cost?"
"Well," Edward said. "Not much at all." He walked me over and showed me his calculations. Hmm it wasn't much.
I grinned at my brothers. "Lets do it!"
Emmett stirred at this. "Wait what? You are agreeing with these two nitwits?" He continued ignoring the protests for his two other brothers. "I think that it isn't perfect! I think that there would be nothing to do."
"You're the nitwit." Edward muttered under his breath.
Emmett's face grew red. "What did you say?"
Edward got his brave face on. "You know what I said."
Emmett lunged at Edward and missed him. Emmett may hit the hardest but Edward is the fastest. "Take that back!"
Edward grinned. "Never."
This continued for a minute before Edward caught Emmett and made his leave what he called him alone. Poor Emmett getting beaten by his baby brother.
Jasper leaned next to me. "You know this will be a constant thing if we go?"
I looked at Emmett and Edward who were now laughing. "Yeah I know." And I was ready for it.
Jasper Cullen
I looked at the computer screen booking flights for us. Wow this was it. A spring break in Spain. I honestly couldn't believe it myself.
I clicked off seats and paid. We were really going. I mentally danced at the idea. I heard a knock on my door. "Jazz we need dinner are you coming or not?"
I sighed. "Coming Emmett."
We walked around looking for a place to eat and talk about our plans. We all sat down at a table and started to talk when Edward started hitting my arm. "Hey guys that's the girl I told you about!"
I glanced over. She was with three friends and they were all talking excitedly. One of them just had a certain glow to her. I was instantly attracted to her. Though I would probably never see her again. I could admire from afar.
I felt a punch in my upper arm. "Jazz stop drooling over one of those girls."
I rolled my eyes and walked up to their waiter to ask. "Who are they?"
"Them? Oh they are regulars here. Total babes of course but never go for any guys. Its kind of weird. But that one-" pointing to the girl Edward likes. "is Nicole. That girl next to her -" now pointing to the one I like. "is Sammi. Then the two others are Anna and Rachel."
I thanked him and walked back to the table. Sammi.
Third Person
"And so Jasper fell in a sort of crush type of thing?" Bella asked earnestly. Her eyes sparkling at the thought.
"Why yes," I smiled at her. "I think he did."
She bounced up and down on her seat. "Grandma tell me more!! Tell me about when they got to Spain!"
"Okay," I began. "'Seeing as their trips were planned and ready… It was time to set off in the biggest adventure of their life…"
(A/N: Whatcha think so far? I am in a writer high right now so I am no where near finishing.)
