You Have to Let Go
Chapter 2: The Cafeteria and the events that follow
"That's Edward. He's gorgeous, of course, but don't waste your time. He doesn't date. Apparently none of the girls here are good-looking enough for him" Jessica Stanley said
"No ones good enough hey" Annie said speaking too low for human ears to pick up
"Oh shut up" Edwards said
"And that's his sister, his biological sister that is. Her names Anne but I'm sure they call her they call her Annie. She was only thirteen when their parents died in a car crash, apparently they have lived with Dr. Cullen since then" Jessica Stanley continued as she blabbed on about the Cullen's as if she knew them all personally.
"She got part of that story right" Edward said. Annie just looked at him but she knew what it meant. The loss of their parents was a painful memory that had never faded for Annie. As for Edward all those memories have either faded over time or are very faint. They walked over the the Cullen able and took their place. Awhile later Edward leaned slightly over the Annie and whispered too low for anyone to hear but her.
"Annie I want you to look over the Jessica Stanley and the girl next to her I want you to read her memories" Edward said
"Ok" She look looked in the way Edward told her and concentrated hard, but nothing came, she looked back at Edward. He didn't even have to ask what happened, the expression on her face said it all. Annie sat there looking at the table trying to figure out what happened. Once the bell rang they split up and went to their separate classes.
-----------
Annie had English and history. She couldn't concentrate, that girl stumped her. One bonus of being a vampire she had been gifted with a special ability. Just like Edward can read minds, Alice can see the future and Jasper can control the feelings of anyone, Annie can see the memories of anyone in a room. She can even see those memories that are buried so deep in someones brain that they can't even remember. She looked around the room and the memories of her class came flooding into her mind. The pictures were so clear, it was like there was a movie playing inside her head. That made her happier. After what had happen in the cafeteria she thought her gift had disappeared and was no longer able to use it. Well she didn't see the purpose in it but she saw it as a way to really get to know someone. They last part of the day seemed to go on forever. Nothing to do but sit there and not learn anything. By the time the final bell rang Annie left as quick as humanly possible. Once in the car she sensed something was wrong. She didn't want to do it but she looked into his memories. He had blocked them so she couldn't see, this frustrated her. He was driving so fast and there was a pained expression on his face.
"Your leaving" Alice all of a sudden said
"Am I" Edward grunted back.
"What" Jasper and I said together from the back seat. Edward had pulled over at the bottom of the long driveway.
"I know you'll do the right thing Edward" Alice said but Edward continued to stare forward. "you should go tell Carlisle your plans" Alice said and joined Jasper who was standing on the grass next to the driveway.
"So where and why are you going" Annie said
"None of your business" Edward said trying to keep is voice calm
"Fine but wherever you go make sure you come back" Annie said
"Making no promises" Edward snapped
"Not even for me" Annie said, there was a sadness in her tone
"Your better off without me" Edward said
"Why" she said
"Just because, now get out" He yelled and she did what he said. Rage came over her as she watched his car disappeared.
"Are you coming Annie" Jasper said, his mood slightly happier since he was away from humans
"No, go a head" She said, Alice and Jasper disappeared into the trees. Annie stood there, the wind whipping her hair around her face. The sound of the wheels of jeep coming in the distance and Rosalie's car coming. She turned around and ran towards the house. As she reached it, she ran to the right and round the back of the house. She headed to the forest across the stream. Just through the trees she came to an halt and looked up to a familiar sight. There above her has the tree house that Edward had help her build last summer when they were bored. It was quiet a site to see. It consisted of three different platforms. Two where like small cottages and the other an observation platform. They where close to the top a three trees which were taller than four story buildings. They were connected buy three swinging bridges. There was a rope ladder to get in even though she could climb the tree easily. Annie pulled down the ladder and climbed it into the first cabin. It consisted of a desk, a couple of book cases full of old books and photos and a sofa. She walked onto the swinging connecting the main hut to the observation platform. Once on the platform she walked around the trunk and sat on the other side. The view from here was incredible. Annie pulled out the sketch pad that Jasper had given her for her birthday out of her bag. She opened the cover. On the first page was a family portrait. She had draw it from one of the pictures from her childhood. Her dark brown ringlets falling to her shoulders, her mother looking as stunningly gorgeous as a human could get, her family looking content and Edward had a cheeky grin on his face. The next page was a Family Cullen portrait. She flicked through the almost full book of many of the amazing draw pictures. She went to draw the sun coming through the could and lighting up the forest in front of her but she couldn't find a pencil so she got up and went to the second hut. This was full of all the art supply's under the sun. There were canvas' large and small, painted on and not painted on. She walked over to a draw and picked a pencil and went back to her drawing. Hours later and a few pictures later Annie finally put her pencil down. The sun had set hours ago and she was drawing by candle light, of course it wasn't a problem. It was silent until it was disturbed from below which Annie knew to be one of her siblings trying to get her to come inside. The noise of them climbing the tree was too loud to be one of the girls and too loud to be Jasper so she guessed it to be Emmett.
"Go away Emmett" She said knowing they would hear her
"What if its not Emmett" Jasper said sticking his head around the corner
"What, you made too much of a noise, your normally really quiet" Annie said
"Well it me" He said a sat down next to her leaning up against the trunk of the tree
"How can I be sure its you, it could be Emmett in some freaky Jasper costume" Annie said
"Don't worry I'm me" He said puling out his dog tags which he wore with him 27/7. He took them off his neck and handed them to her
"William J Whitlock, Date of birth 6th June 1843 Texas" She read, Jasper just smiled
"Your middle names William, I never knew that" Annie said
"Not many people do, only Alice and now you" Jasper said
"But there must be someone else" She said
"Well my parents, but they died centuries ago" He said with a slight sadness
"Why don't you tell anyone" Annie said
"Because a Middle name doesn't make a person, it just gives a man another name to write on a passport" Jasper said as Annie handed back his tags and he put them around his neck
"True but there's nothing to be ashamed off, I had a cousin once called William, he used to make fun of my hair until I pushed him into the garden once when I was five and he didn't tease me from there on" Annie said retelling the story
"It was my Fathers name, it just makes me sad to remember" He said there was a moment of silence
"Anyway I didn't come here to talk about my past" Jasper said
"You came here to talk about Edward didn't you" Annie said
"Yes, Esme is in shock sort of when Edward disappeared and then you didn't walk through the doors she thought you might have run after him" Jasper said
"I needed to think" She sighed
"About" Jasper said
"Everything, Edward, how my life is falling in down around me bit by bit" Annie said sighing again
"No it's not, Edward will be back anyway, he wouldn't just leave you" Jasper said sending a wave a calm to Annie
"He has before" She sighed again
"Well he wont this time, now how about coming back inside" Jasper said
"Fine" Annie said blowing out the candle and grabbed her things. They jumped down and started walking back to the house at human pace.
"You know I really got William where it hurt, he was twelve and he was really humiliated that a five year old girl beat him up but he landed in a rose bush and got thorns in his but, then he went crying to mummy and she didn't give him any sympathy because he squished her good roses" Annie said remembering the whole memory, Jasper walking beside her couldn't help but laugh.
