Okay so first, Musicluver246, Wolfscry248, Desideria79, Stelle's Pen and Bubblestaylor, Thank you so much for reviewing you guys genuinely made my week! Also to the people who followed and favorited this story, know I am in complete shock! It's amazing to know some people think my writing doesn't suck but I'm kind of nervous to put this chapter out now. It's a bit shorter but hopefully my next ones will be longer. And Stelle's pen to answer your question, they don't know about Bella, just Wednesday. And Jasper is actually none to pleased about the situation as will be revealed in later chapters. I'm kind of making this up as I go along though. I just want to warn you that all the Cullens will be much darker characters in this. I'm also changing things a bit by making it so that all members of the Cullen clan, besides Edward and Carlisle, are struggling with human blood instead of just Jasper. Oh, and also I imagine Ivy to look like Freya Mavor.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but Wednesday and Ivy!
I apologize in advance for my cursing!
Last chapter: Guy with curly blonde hair (Jasper) is walking Wednesday home and she's freaking out.
"And what does he do? He waggles his beautiful eyebrows, wave's goodbye to his brother and says, "Let's get going then?"
Oh shit."
Wednesday's POV:
What just happened? Like, seriously what is going on? He looks at me expectantly. "Um… Alright my house is about ten minutes that way, I guess" I say bewildered, pointing in the general direction of my house. "Okay then" He says with a cheery smirk and we start walking.
I dread what's coming. The inevitable awkward silence that accompanies these sorts of situations. Trying to find the right balance of not being a bitch, but also not appearing to eager. Wait, what am I saying? I don't want to impress this guy, I don't care what he thinks about me! Besides, he's way out of my league. Except, I kind of feel like I do want to impress him. Oh great, now I've been quiet for too long. What's a normal question to get a conversation going? I glance at his chiseled face and realize I don't actually know this guy's name. "So, uh, what's your name?" I ask, my face red for no particular reason.
"Jasper" He says with a grin, "Your Wednesday Swan." Umm… Okay that's weird. "It's a small town" He laughs noticing my look, as if that explains everything. I know this is a small town, I've been here before, which makes me start to wonder how long he's lived here as I've never seen him around. "So, how long you been in forks?" I ask (Btw I am still completely confused by this situation) "A few years" He replies looking away.
"And where were you before?" I ask seeing his growing discomfort. What can I say, I like to make people uncomfortable. It makes me happy to see others in my constant uneasy state. "Texas" he replies coldly. Okay, touchy subject. We walk in silence for a few moments.
It's lovely outside and it feels weirdly exciting to be in the presence someone like Jasper who has that kind of dangerous beauty. His eyes, a weird shade between red and gold, are ensnaring. He looks over and sees me staring, but this time I hold his gaze. "So, will you be going to Forks High School?" He asks smiling and the tension fades. "Yeah, do you go there?" I ask. He nods, which surprises me. I thought he would go to that fancy college a few towns over. "What's it like?" I inquire, nervousness seeping into my voice. "You worried, sweetheart?" His grin is mischievous and a tad frightening. "No, just wondering." Good one Wednesday, that sounded real. His smile grew a little more predatory, and I began to wonder why I thought it was a good idea to walk alone with a stranger. Thankfully, Charlie's house is just around the corner. I take a deep breath and stop walking, "I'm afraid we're going to have to part ways here, My Uncle Charlie is really strict when it comes to boys." This is partially true, while Charlie isn't a fan of the male gender when it concerns his female relatives, my mum has basically grounded me and banned me from any male contact after a little incident that happened a few weeks before I left. Not in the mood to enrage her, I think it's best to play it on the safe side and not bring a boy to the house on my first day. Plus Japer is kind of intimidating. "Alright then darling, I'll see you at school tomorrow" He says and hands me my shopping bags. I say goodbye and start to walk away but he grabs my elbow, "No kiss goodbye?" He asks slyly. The kid has balls, I'll give him that. I roll my eyes playfully before giving him a quick peck on the cheek. "Goodbye cowboy!" I yell, walking away. Looking back, I him watch me leave before strolling in the opposite direction.
My brain is just now processing what happened. Where did all that confidence come from? And that has to be the first conversation I've had with a guy in a long time that hasn't been painfully awkward. Thinking about Jasper makes me want to giggle and blush but at the same time there is something… I don't know… something off about him. He seems like a cat playing with a mouse before devouring it.
Hold up one second, what is that monstrosity parked in Charlie's drive way? A hideous, orange truck? Oh my days, I have a horrible feeling I know what that is. Walking inside I shout, "Whose car is that parked in our driveway?"
"It's ours!" Bella shrieks excitedly, coming downstairs. Of course she would like it. She discreetly hands me two red packets and I squeal inside. Finally! I'll save these because it will be a long time before I will get more. Oh, here comes Charlie, time to put on my fake pleased face. "Oh really? I hope we didn't cost you too much Uncle! We can live without a car" I ramble worriedly. Charlie looks embarrassed and says "I got it off Billy actually, so it wasn't too bad, I just want you girls to enjoy it here." Lord Charlie, must you be so adorable? I assure him we will before going to the kitchen to unpack the food. Bella comes in and together we start to cook a good ol' fashioned English roast dinner, (Yorkshire puddings made from scratch btw).
Turning on the radio I am pleasantly surprised to hear Queen's wicked tunes playing. Bella and I start to sing in unison,
Buddy you're a boy make a big noise
Playin' in the street gonna be a big man some day
You got mud on yo' face
You big disgrace
Kickin' your can all over the place
Singin'
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you
Buddy you're a young man hard man
Shoutin' in the street gonna take on the world some day
You got blood on yo' face
You big disgrace
Wavin' your banner all over the place
Charlie comes in for the chorus and we all wave our pans in the air singing at the top of our lungs:
We will we will rock you
(Sing it!)
We will we will rock you
Laughing so hard I start to cry, I look over at these freaks I call family. They're weird as fuck and slightly dysfunctional, but they are family. And for the first time in a long time, I sort of feel alright.
3..2..1..
I sit up at exactly 6:59. In 60 seconds my alarm will go off. Sleep was out of the question last night. My punishment, I think, for the happiness I experienced yesterday. She is punishing me. Her voice a constant presence in my head. 3..2..1..
My alarm goes off and Oasis starts to blast through the speakers.
I need to be myself
I can't be no one else
I'm feeling supersonic
Give me gin and tonic
You can have it all
But how much do you want it?
You make me laugh
Give me your autograph
Can I ride with you in your BMW?
You can sail with me
In my yellow submarine
I hear Bella slam her door open and smile. This should be fun. I turn the speakers up full volume. Charlie has already left, early start being a policeman and all. "What the hell are you doing?" she screams. I pretend I haven't heard her. She bursts into my room with a look that could kill. I love pissing Bella off, because it's so rare that she actually gets angry. "What the hell are you doing Wednesday?" She yells again. Ignoring her I sing along with the song and start jumping on my bed.
"I know a girl called Elsa
She's into Alka Seltzer
She sniffs it through a cane on a supersonic train
She made me laugh
I got her autograph
She done it with a doctor on a helicopter
She's sniffin in her tissue
Sellin' the Big Issue"
I drag Bella onto the bed with me and trap her in a bear hug. She is mine now. Welcome to the dark side Bella, we have popping candy and sick music. "I am enjoying my last moments of freedom, love" I sing. She looks at me concerned. Oh for god's sake! I am perfectly fine. 100%! I just get hyper from lack of sleep. "Now I'm going to get dressed so unless you want to see my naked body, which I would totally understand if you did, I suggest you leave" I say and with that, I shove her off the bed. She huffs and glares at me before snarling in a low tone "Turn that shit off." Wow, Bella's cursing. I slowly get up and turn off the stereo. I don't want to make sudden movements and provoke her. Seeing as how she still hasn't left I start to take my shirt off. "Really, Friday?" I hear here shriek before leaving my room. I start to giggle and hear her do the same outside the door.
Now, what to wear? Skimming through my partially unpacked clothes I settle on a black skater dress with an adorable green dinosaur that says: "Chaos is what killed the dinosaurs, darling." Paring the dress with black knee high socks and a velvet choker, I reach for my favorite leather jacket. Ivy bought it for me on my 15th birthday. Hmm... How about we don't think about our dead best friend on our first day of school? Sounds like a good idea Wednesday! Thank you, Wednesday! I go to my mirror and carefully apply some black winged eyeliner and cherry red lipstick. Fluffing my slightly passed shoulder length, jet black hair, I am satisfied I look presentable. And no, I am not making an effort just because of Jasper. Oh, you weren't thinking that? Well. Good. Just know I'm not, alright? Anyway, Bella is calling me to come downstairs so I quickly grab some black heeled boots (I'm only 5ft 2 so I can wear them) and my red backpack.
"Ready to set off in the death trap?" I ask cheerfully grabbing some toast. She glares at me. Gosh, she's been glaring a lot this morning. "You seem awful chipper." She comments as we walk to the truck. "It will fade by the time we get to school" I reply casually. Getting in the truck, I make a face at the interior. Why Charlie?
"Can you do this Wednesday?" She asks earnestly. I know what she means.
"Let's see shall we?"
She looks at me with mixed emotions but starts the car.
So, what do you think? Anything I should change or any suggestions are greatly appreciated! While there was a touch of it in this, the next chapter will show a bit more about how messed up Wednesday really is.
