I sighed as I head out the door again. I woke up very early that day so I could walk to school. I could onyl find myself staring into two golden eyes. It was Jasper. I couldn't believe he was right here in my drive way. I thought he hated me and here he was. He looked nervous as I came over to him.
"Hey.. Um Since your car.. is um.. in the shop, I thought I could give you a ride." He looked down at his feet. I smiled and chuckled under my breath at the way he was acting. I nodded.
"OK lets go." I said. I got into his car which, I must say, is so much better than mine. He was acting abit weird almost like he was resiting something. I looked out the window and let the radio drown out any scilence. We stopped as the school came into veiw. He looked at me, as a smile at him which caused his eyes to light with joy. I smiled a bit more at this. We got out and the first person to come over to me was Alice. "Hihi!" she said in a loud peppy voice.
"Ok if I wasn't awake before I am now!" I said pretending she blew out my hearing. She alughed and grabbed my arm hanging on.
"So whats up with you and Jake." she moving her eye brows up and down.
"Eww no way. Alice Jakes my cousin." I said pushing away gross thoughts that alice had. She alughed.
"Yeah I know Bella told me."she said laughing a bit more.
The day went by very quickly and some how some way me and Bella had plans to go shopping with Alice. Oh course me and Bella where not veyer happy about this but we went along with it not wanting to hurt Alice's Feelings. We went our different ways after everything and I walked to my house alone. I felt like someone was following me. Of course some way I was right. Three people steped out of the shadows. They looked like the cullens in a way. I froze in my spot as the walked around me laughign and talking to each other in whispers. The came close to me, as I backed up a bit in fear. Soon they had me cornered. For some strang reason I felt like calling out for help so whenI went to yell it my words changed and formed the words. "Jasper!" i don't know why but I started calling for him. In 5 seconds after my first call Jasper was there with Alice and Elliot. Jasper lunged and one of them and Alice and Elliot at the others. I got frightened and scared. I started to fall to my knees as I watched them fight. But every time I blinked I saw those two things that where following me in the woods that day. Soon the fight was over and I looked At alice, Elliot and Jasper. At first I was frozen in my spot but I got up shaking like hell. I soon found myself Falling. Jasper caught me and held me close as I got my strength and stood up. I looked at them and their gold eyes and I did what anyone would do right then. I started to run. I soon stopped. I slid down a wall and bunced myself into a ball. I felt tears form to my eyes. I shouldn't have done that.
They proected me and I ran from them. I heard foot steps come and looked up to see Jasper there. I backed up a bit and crawled a bit away. He looked so hurt. He came a bit closer this time I didn't move. He knelt down beside me. I felt a wave of calm come to me and I looked him in the eyes. "I'm not scared of you." I said. He nodded a bit. "I'm scared of my past." He looked confused. I passed out right there and then.
I woke up on a soft was mucg better than my crappy couch. I heard voices. "well?"
"She said she not scared of me, she scared of her past."
"Well, what does that mean?"
"I have no idea she passed out then."
I felt my eyes open as I looked around. Well it's not my hosue either. I lifted my head and felt like and anvil had been dropped on it. I groned at that feeling as I sat up.
"She's awake." Edward said. They all walked over to me. Emmett looked like he wanted to hug me but something about him was saying no.
"I Think we both owe each other explainations." I said. They nodded. "Well I think I already no what you are. Vampires right? Like the ones in story books and stuff."
"No where different. We don't drink human blood." That calmed me a bit.
"So it's your story now."
"Ok." I sighed."When I was a little girl me an Jake where playing truth or dare. I took dare and he told me to go into a deep part of the woods for 5 minutes. oh course I didn't wimp out. I went into the woods and I heard foot steps. This two people started to follow me and so I got scared. They ran veyr fast but I was able to lose them. I ran to the farthest part of the woods. I hif in a old tree and they came my way. The woman manged to find me and the last thing I remeber before closing my eyes was the golden eyes of the pail woman. I Guess when I saw your golden eyes and the way you guys where vampires and stuff brought me back to that. I mean those thigns I met in the forest got me these." I said lifting my shirt so they could see the scars,"My mom got scared for me and she was yelling with billy one day. They where talking about a threat or soemthing, I think it was one of those vampire I met in the woods. So my mom moved us far away to some town in sunny california to get us away from there. My mom would receive phone calls when I was little that made her scared but they stopped after a while." Emmett had enough he ran over and hugged me, the same with Alice.
They brought me home later. My mom was so mad. She grounded me and sent me to my room. I looked over at my side of my house to see a shadow. i smirked a bit. I closed my blinds and put on my close and then opened hte window. "Jasper I know your down there." I said as I saw the shadow move. i sat down on my bed and Jasper made his way up to my window.
" been through a lot today?" he said.
"No I think today was very great and productive. I learned you are a vampire, and you learned I had a horrible childhood." I laughed and he just looked serious. He backed away from me a bit.
"You think I'm some monster don't you?" he said. I got up and walked to him as he tilted his head down. I touched his face and lifted it up.
"You're not a monster! And who ever thinks you are is just crazy!" I said in disbileaf. He smiled a bit. We talked for a while. Mostly about my life back home we made our way to my bed as I lied down. He brushed my hair a bit as I gently fell alseep in his cold arms. That morning I woka clam. NO nightmeres! But I did find that I was alone and Jasper was not there anymore. I sighed and got dressed. I walked out of the house and saw him waiting for me. He smiled as I walked over and he hugged me quickly. I was confused one why he only hugged me quickly but I burshed it off and got into his car. The car ride was scilent again with the radio playing. There where moments when I would look at him and smile at him. By the middle of the car ride he turned and looked at me. "Ok I know you have a million questions, I'm ready to answer them." he said.
"ok, um does sun light hurt you?"
"No, it's just very I don't know anoying."
I kept going on with my questions until we arived at school. Alice ran over and hugged me. Alice and me where growing closer each day. It was nice because she was like the older sister that was always there when you need her."So what are you doing this weekend?" Alice asked.
"Oh yeah this weeked." I said remembering the plans I had made. I had to go see billy and Jacob and everyone. Jasper put his arm around me."I'm going up to La push to see my family." I said. Jasper tightened his grip on me. I looked up at him as he soften it. He shrugged. I guess he didn't like me going up there. I really don't find a problem in it but the cullens did. By lunch time I was fed up.
"OK why don't you guys want me to go see my family and La Push?"
'Well I guess the cats out of the bag." Edward said."More like wolf."Alice added in.
"Jake is what some people call a vampire hater. I guess we think..." Emmett started/
"I think Jake might shift your mind around a make you regret everything about us." Jasper said as he tigtened his grip around me.
"You guys, nothing bad will happen. I'll be fine! Trust me." I said "Jake won't shift my mind around I'll make sure of it."
The end of the day came by quickly as I exited with Jaspers arm around me. I saw Jake there with his motrocycle. He smiled at me but then his smile dropped as he saw me with jasper. Jasper kissed my forehead and let me go giving Jake a glare. I shook my head and ran over hugging Jake. "Hey cousin!" I said.
"Let's go." he said giving the cullens a dirty look. I smaked him and he got on the bike. The ride was cilent and then I saw it. my beautiful La push. I smiled a bit big and then got off the bike. I ran over leaning down and hugged my Uncle Billy.
"Lacey can I talk to you?" I heard Jake say. Oh no he used my real name that means nothing but trouble.
"What is it."
"Are you friends with those people back there."
"Of course I am Jake. Why is there a problem with that?"
"Yes everything about that is a problem. They're...They're.."
"They're what Jake?"
"Just bad people! Please!" He said and looked me in the ey grabbing my shoulders so I would look at him." Don't hang around with them!"
"I can't do that Jake." I said giving him a cold stair.
"Why not.." He said pleading me to with his eyes.
"Because Jake.. Just.. Um because.' If he really did hate them and he knew I was maybe almost in love with one of them he would rip my to shreads right now. He staired at me in the eyes and looked at me.
"I knew it. You've fallen in love with one of them. Who is it? Huh is it emmet Elliot... wait no no it's edward."
I looked at him with fear and thought he was just going crazy or something. I wondered what ever happen to the little cousin that I knew and loved so much. He was my best friend and now..
"So it's Jasper huh?"I staired in scilent. "I will do whatever in my power to keep you two a part. I'm not losing you to them!" He looked so hurt as he pulled me into a hug.
" Jake! PLease they're nto bad you have to believe me." I said.
"No they're not.. they're vile little blood suckers. They're Vampires Lacey!"
"I know and I don't care! They saved me! They're not bad!" I said as I started to run away. The weekend wasn't so bad. I got to see some of my old friends but most of the time i stayed away from Jake. He was scaring me and everytime we argued about it he would start shaking and some Sam guy would have to stop him.
when it was unday again I was glad to go back and sleep on my bed. I opened the window looking at the cold night sky and whispered Jasper's name. A few minutes later he was there at my window.
"How was your weekend?"
"Horrible Jakes mad as hell!" I said flapping my head down on the bed as it made a boom sound. He walked over and sat down on my bed with me. I lifted my head and laid it up on his shoulder. His cold skin felt nice after long days in the sun.I felt a wave of happiness. He smiled a bit.
"There's something your not telling me isn't there." I said.
"Um maybe." he said
"Jasper!" I said punching him in the arm remebering that he was hard as a rock and rubed my hand because it hurt."Ow! I think my knuckles are bleeding.' I said as Jasper jumped up."Kidding they're fine."
"oh, anyways." he said sitting back down beside me. "How do I put this. Alice has visions, Edward reads minds..."
"Whoa Whoa whoa.. Powers?"
"Yeah, and I can control and see others emotions."
"So those waves of feeligns I've been getting those where you?"
"yeah." He said guilty
"I don't know weather to thank you or to punch you again."I said laughing as He smiled at me. He kissed my forehead.
"Hey why don't you ever kiss me on the lips?" I asked.
"It's a long story."
"But I want to hear it."
"No you're going to bed now." he said lying me down as he laid with me. I soon found my protest to stop and myself fall into a deep slumber.
