Disclaimer: I do not own the Twilight Saga or any of the characters pertaining to it. The only character I own is Sara Crowe. I worked for a long time trying to get this sequel done. I hope you guys enjoy it.
I just celebrated my nineteenth birthday yesterday. I was surrounded by the people I loved and it was one of the best birthdays I'd had in years. I got to see my mom. My dad didn't even bother to come. I've apparently disappointed him. I really wish he would get over all this especially since I'm getting married in six months. I want him to be the one to walk me down the aisle.
It's been about a year since I almost died from a vampire bite. Since I yelled at my dad. Since I almost lost my best friend. Since I gained some new friends—Mike Newton and Edward Cullen, got to love them. Both have surprisingly been a lot of help throughout my wedding planning. And Edward's adoptive sister, Alice, too. Apparently she loves this kind of stuff so I let her go for it.
"O...M...G! Sara Crowe," I heard so loud that it almost damaged my ear drum.
I was walking back to Sam and Emily's house from watch. I thought this wolf thing was too cool to give up just yet. Soon though...maybe. Yeah, I know, my thoughts have changed in a year since I first made the change into a shape shifter. But hey, once you get used to it, it's actually a lot of fun.
I turned towards the mountains where I heard the loud voice come from.
"Trisha? What are you doing here," I yelled back puzzled.
She was one of my friends from back in Houston. Good heart, but a little bit of an airhead. She was the head cheerleader with fiery red hair, dark blue eyes, and a perfect body. She was first one to start talking to me on my first day of high school in Houston. Which was a complete nightmare by the way.
She also showed me around the school and let me sit with her at lunch. I remember when she thought I'd make a good cheerleader and begged until the start of our senior year to join the team. I couldn't, just wasn't for me. I've only worn dresses, or anything girly, two times in my life. Prom and at Rachael and Paul's wedding. And the only other exception...my wedding. Instead, I decided to join the softball team. Definitely my kind of the thing. Dirt and sweat.
"I came to see how you were. I hadn't heard from you since graduation. I thought maybe you'd forgotten about us." I noticed her emphasis on the "us" part.
"Us? You're not the only one here?"
"Of course not silly. Ethan's here, too."
No way! No, no, no! Not Ethan.
In case you're wondering. Ethan is a guy I dated in high school. Yeah, I know, a bit of a shock. He's was the hot junior and I was the underclassman. Not that much younger. I was a sophomore. He was perfect in every way. Let's just say, he fit the tall, dark, and handsome description to the "t".
And when I say perfect in every way, I mean it. He wasn't all looks. Ethan was captain of the football team, part of the student council, Honor Society, and part of the top 10% in his class. He got a full scholarship to the University of Texas in Austin. He was every parents dream come true for their daughter. And trust when I say, my dad loved him. They were always talking about sports and school whenever Ethan would come over.
You'd think a guy like Ethan would be more into Trisha, right? Well, if he was, that would make it illegal. Ethan is Trisha's older brother. Very protective older brother. Trisha didn't really start dating until after Ethan graduated.
"Ethan? What is he doing here?"
"Well, you know how Ethan is about me. Very protective, he wasn't going to let me travel all the way to Washington by myself. Especially with all the guys here."
"Wow, Ethan hasn't changed a bit," I laughed.
"Nope. As a matter of fact, there he is now."
I turned to see the perfect guy I once dated. A little more filled out then I remember, but still perfect. It's hard to believe I broke up with him.
Yeah, I broke up with him. Why? Because I just couldn't think of him going to college and being around all those college girls. With a lot more experience than me. I mean, I've only been with one guy. My best friend, Jacob Black. He knew that of course, and it made him sad that he wasn't my first, but he understood that's how things sometimes went.
Yes, I did sleep with him. Summer of his senior year. We'd been dating for a year. And it of course, was perfect, just like him. But I let him know beforehand that he wouldn't be my first. And adding to the perfectness, like I said before, he didn't care he said, as long as he was with me.
"Sara," he yelled as he walked up to me. "How you been?"
"I've been good. How you been? How's school," I said as he finally stood in front of me. I was almost as tall as him now. Good thing I wasn't going to be any taller than 5'6". I haven't grown an inch since the big fight against those filthy twin bloodsuckers Jane and Alec. It still pisses me off thinking of that day. Grr!
"I've been great. Schools awesome. My team was actually 10-3 last year."
"That's great. I'm happy for you." Just as I said it I saw a shiny yellow Porsche. It was Alice. She got out of the car along with Edward. Oh crap! Was the wedding planning today? Please don't say anything Edward, I haven't told them I'm getting married yet.
"Omg! Who's that guy," Trisha exclaimed.
"That's Edward. He's a friend of mine. Don't even think about it. He's married."
"Married? Really? He looks so young. How old is he?"
"Eighteen. He just graduated high school. Married his high school sweetheart."
As I finished what I said, Edward and Alice finally made it to us. I know it sucked for them to walk at a normal pace.
"Hey Sara," Alice said in her pixie like voice.
"Hey Alice. What are you guys doing here?"
"We just came to see how you were doing," Edward blurted out.
"I'm doing fine," I replied. Then I saw Edward and Alice look at my friends. "Oh, how rude of me. Alice, Edward these are my friends from Houston Trisha and Ethan. Guys, this is Edward and his sister, Alice."
"Hey. It's nice to meet y'all," Ethan said.
"It's nice to meet you guys, too," Alice replied.
After that was the seven minute lull.
"Why don't we go inside," I finally said.
"Okay," they all replied.
We started to head inside and then sat at the table.
"So how long are you guys in town for," I asked.
"For as long as we want. We got open ended tickets," Trisha answered. "We thought you could show us around and stuff."
"Of course, but there's not much to do. I can probably knock stuff out in a week," I laughed. Alice and Edward laughed with me.
"It's okay. I was hoping we could go to Seattle and all that."
"Alright. So where are you guys staying?"
"We were hoping to stay with you, but seeing the house your in, I don't think we'd all fit," Ethan answered.
"So, you guys don't have a hotel? I would've thought you'd stay in Seattle."
"No, she wanted to stay with you. And it's not really in our budget to stay in a hotel since Trisha insisted on not getting one. I told Trisha we should've told you we were coming."
"I wanted to surprise her. I thought she was over exaggerating when she said the houses were tiny out here."
"Well, why don't you guys stay with us in Seattle," Alice blurted out.
"What," Edward and I said together in shock.
We looked at her like she was crazy.
"Oh come on. There's plenty of room. Rosalie and Emmett are in Africa. And even if they weren't, there'd still be two extra rooms."
"We don't want to be a burden on anyone," Ethan said.
"It's okay. You won't be."
"But what about your diet. They're not vegetarians," I stated.
"Don't worry, we'll get food they like. Come on, we won't bite," Alice said with a crooked smile. "So, since there's no other objections, it's settled. Trisha and Ethan stay with us. I'll call Bella and tell her to go to the grocery store."
"Don't worry, we'll eat whatever you have. We don't want to make you feel like you have to buy us food."
"It's no trouble." And as she said that, she walked out.
I wasn't so sure this was a good idea but how could I object any more without Trisha and Ethan suspecting something weird.
"Okay, everything's set. Bella should be back by the time we get back."
Ethan and Trisha looked puzzled.
"That seems kind of quick," Trisha said.
"Not really. It takes about two hours to get from here to Seattle."
"Oh."
"So, where's your stuff," I questioned.
"Oh, outside. We came in a cab. I just left it there when I saw you standing outside."
"Cool. Let's just just put your stuff in the trunk," Alice said.
"Um, I don't think my sister's stuff is going to fit in that bad ass Porsche."
"You can put whatever doesn't fit in my truck."
"Cool, let's go." Alice walked out with Trisha and Ethan.
I don't really have a good feeling about this.
Edward laughed. "What? You don't trust us?"
"Huh, what," I stopped. Then added, "I still can't get use the whole mind reading thing. And I do trust you guys. I'm just a little worried about Jasper."
"You don't give him enough credit. He'll be fine. Don't worry, we'll be as human as possible."
"I'll take your word for it. Wait, how did Alice know I wasn't going to object?" Edward looked like he was concentrating.
"She saw their future and they were staying at our house. Which is weird because their here for you which means being around you would've blacked out their future."
Edward was right. Alice was never able to see our future, or anyone's who's future involved us. Just like Edward's daughter Renesmee. With her being Jake's imprint, her future is with him, so Alice doesn't know the kind of danger, if any, she will be in because of it.
All I know is, this is going to be an interesting visit. And I don't think in a good way either. There's no way this can turn out good.
Author's Note: Alright guys, what do you think about Alice being able to tell Ethan and Trisha were coming? What do you think about Sara's ex, Ethan being there, even though he is tagging along with his sister.
So, like I said in my last story, my chapters are always changing up until the point of publication, so insight is always good. Hope you guys review. And until next chapter, take care and later days.
