A/N: As stated before, the character ages are as follows: Bella 20, Angela 20, Ben 20, Edward 20, Alice 20, Jasper 21, Emmett 22, Rose 22, Jacob 19. To clear up some confusion you may have; Bella, Angela and Ben are definitely human. The others are not. Bella has her parents house, Angela and Ben still live with their respective parents/family. Ed,Ac,Jp,Em,Rs and Jb live in an off campus apartment complex; in 3 separate neighboring units. Carlisle and Esme are their adoptive parents. I can't get too detailed at the moment otherwise I'd ruin part of the reading/discovery process.
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or it's characters; I just like to fuck with their literary existence. :D
PS: Sorry about this chapter in advance, I'm in no kind of good mood at the moment. Perhaps it's just the PMS speaking, who knows. LOL! XD
Timeline note: Classes have already started for everyone but there was a delay on the apartments. So we are about a month into the semester; Bella is only just pulling together the study group.
Chapter 2: Act your age asshole!
Omniscient (3rd party) POV
"Fuck moving day! Why are we moving again?" A tall russet skinned boy, Jake, exclaimed while carrying three extra large boxes labeled 3A.
"Because you nit-wit, if we want to fit in and stay in this area for longer, we've got to play the part of "NORMAL". Doing her trademark air quotes, the tall, statuesque, blond woman whisper-screamed at him. Rose was the moving director this trip. They always had to have someone to take charge other wise chaos would ensue and fighting went ran rampid among them.
Emmett walked out the front door of the enormous mansion carrying more boxes; these labeled as 3C. Edward was following his much larger, older brother out the front door with his two boxes also labeled 3A. Jake and Edward were to be sharing an apartment together for another "college experience". They were the two odd men out in their family of three bonded couples. The other two, college aged, couples, Jasper and Alice and Emmett and Rose would be sharing their own apartment units.
"As if college for the 8th time were considered normal." Edward muttered to himself even though everyone would hear him regardless.
Everyone just shook their heads at his comment. Edward was the pessimist of the group; always looking at existence with negativity. He always focused on the pain and suffering of man and never looked at the miracle the life or the beauty the was held in the world. Not to say that he had not seen the world, just not through the right set of eyes; he'd seen nearly every country in the world at least once, much the same as his siblings had.
"Don't make me ask Alice to take over! You know how she is..." Rose threatened with hands on her hips and chin held high.
Emmett only smiled at Rose's attempted threat. He hopped up into the moving truck and tossed his boxes onto the stack on the right side, Edward followed swiftly making the truck bounce slightly with the weight increase. Emmett pivoted around to face his brother and gave him a loving hug. Edward was used to Emmett's goofier tactics at making the mood lighten up. Edward shrugged out of Emmett's strong grip and laughed at his brother.
"Race you back inside." Edward said excitedly. Emmett barely registered what his brother had said before the truck was void of both bodies. Flying past Rose, making her hair whip to the side, they broke through the threshold of the grand house at the same time and were momentarily stuck, shoulder to shoulder, before Jake came up behind them and kicked Edward swiftly in the ass, ejecting them both from the doorway simultaneously.
"Hey!" Edward fired back at Jake. But Jake had already taken off to the side of the house; Edward gave chase. "You're gonna pay!" He shouted.
In the distance Jake's voice could be heard, "If you can catch me, fuck-tard!"
Back at the house Emmett's boisterous laugh could be heard echoing throughout it's walls.
"He is so bi-polar... It'll be a miracle if they don't dismember each other by the end of the semester." Rose muttered as she walked swiftly back into her room to supervise Emmett's packing skills.
Meanwhile....
"But Jaaaasper. I need this." Alice whined clutching onto a pair of designer jeans.
"Baby, please." Jasper looked around the store with wild, worried eyes. He'd never want anyone to see him mistreat his woman; even if it were necessary. "We came to buy things we'd need for the new place. For everyone really. I-I don't think now is the time for clothes shopping too, baby. I'll bring you out another day for shopping. Please?" He practically begged in his sweetest voice. Alice couldn't stand it when he begged, so she put on her pout and put the jeans back on the rack.
"Alright, but I'll hold you to it until you do." She said with all seriousness but the smile playing on her lips gave her away. Jasper smiled back at her and breathed deep and grabbed Alice's waist to continue walking. They were at the larger mall in Port Angeles shopping for apartment things. In all of their years together they'd never gone the apartment route for college. Usually they'd stay with Carlisle and Esme but they thought there was a first for every situation. Why not try it out; if it didn't work they'd simply move back home with their parents. Heaven forbid a slip up happened because that would mean that they'd have to possibly move out of the state before suspicions arose. Everyone else had been pretty easy going when it came to human interactions but every great once in a while one of them just couldn't handle... the pressures and gave in.
"Alice, darlin', what about this desk for Emmett and Rose? Don't you think it would go well with the colors?" Jasper inquired looking at a dark cherry wood desk setup.
"I think you're starting to develop your eye." Alice responded smiling and leaned forward to glide her fingers across the top of the desk. "It's perfect. Grab the stock ticket for me Jazz."
Jasper quickly grabbed a ticket off the side of the desk and added it to the other bulk-item tickets in his pockets.
After spending eight consecutive hours shopping at the mall, Alice sent Jasper on his own quickly to purchase all of the bulk items and have them delivered to the new apartments tomorrow. Alice, herself, went to pick up the massive amounts of bags she'd purchased and had put aside as she was notorious for purchasing more than once in most stores. When they met back up at their car, a deep water blue Jeep Patriot 4X4, Alice had two "helpers" to carry some of the 50+ bags she had. Good thing they had Jasper's Jeep instead of Alice's Tesla Roadster. The bags were loaded and they were on their way back home to join the others in the ongoing packing process. Not that it took them long at all to pack one box at a time and load them up, quite the opposite. From all of the moving they'd done in their lives, they had a system going; only take what is truly necessary. But to each, his own with that statement.
Edward always had tons of music to haul around but recently with the wondrous invention of the IPod he didn't have to haul around "as much", he still however had many records and the like that he'd never part with. He was also such a book-a-holic that they'd have to set up an entire room in every house for his collection as well as Carlisle's. Though, Carlisle had several more reasons to haul around his book collection, for one, he was a doctor; he occasionally needed his text resources to solve the many mysteries of medicine and procedures.
Rose didn't have much she was bonded to besides Emmett. He however had an amazingly large collection of movies. He'd gotten at least one copy of every movie or documented sporting event he'd ever seen and another copy for every technological upgrade too. He now had an amazing collection of Blu-Ray movies and growing. Rose didn't mind much that he seemed to almost have OCD over the things, she was just happy that he was happy.
Jake had come to the family after spending several years on the run from his own people. He used to love everything Native American that he could get his hands on; now in his later days, he'd turned his back on his people because they'd turned their backs on him- the enemy. He tries his best to not hold ties to anyone or anything now witch makes it all that much harder for him to get along with the family. The only thing he's said to have kept was leather braided necklace with a old locket piece attached to it; no one knows what is held inside except for Jake.
Alice is all too well known for her extensive clothing obsession and she tries her hardest to hang onto her favorite pieces but they always are "mistakenly" left behind. As she has little to no memory of her past, she clings to the here and now and her man. He is all she had ever remembered to have felt want for, sheer need for. Jasper has a large collection of books and civil war memorabilia. He is all things Southern and he carries himself with pride for his heritage. He's got a very rare and gentle soul and his past had been haunted with others pushing that buried soul to cause others pain; he seems to always be running from something, well until he found his soul mate in Alice. Now he cannot run anywhere unless Alice is nearby; it nearly causes him physical pain to be torn from her.
Their "parents" Carlisle and Esme are workaholics, but not in a bad way at all. They love what they do with such a passion it's simply remarkable. Carlisle, the doctor, has always wanted to help others, so he naturally fell into medicine. Well if by natural you could say he'd had a knack for helping others and holding real concern for the weaker. Esme was a designer of anything and everything. She'd designed this very house and, besides Alice and Jasper's room, designed and artfully decorated every room. Carlisle had noticed her ability from the get-go and helped her to develop her own style and now she has her own business of design and decor.
Moving-in day came far too fast for them all. They'd all been so attached to Carlisle and Esme in their own ways and never really been away from them for long periods.
"I'm just glad they've got our apartments ready finally." Alice said and everyone nodded in agreement. The apartments were only ready one at a time and a month apart too. But Jasper used his oh so professional charm on the property manager and worked it out to get them all at once a month into their fall semester.
"I was getting tired of having to drive to and from class with his dumb ass all of the time." Rose said pointing in Jake's direction. Jake gave her an incredulous look while pointing at himself and mouthing "me?" Rose just gave him a look that would have set him ablaze had she held the power to do so.
Farewells were said and everyone went to the cars they would be taking with them to college. They could come back and switch them out if needed later on though. They were only going to be about 30 minutes away in reality anyways.
They all seemed to have a death wish with the way they were all driving. Edward in his silver Volvo, Emmett driving the moving truck, Rose driving her red convertible, Alice and Jasper in the roadster and Jake on his Honda motorcycle whooshing past them all. Wait! Passing? "Slow down you ass!" Rose screamed at him from behind her wheel.
Jake responded with his middle finger as a final answer. Rose's mouth dropped open and she sped up but couldn't get too close as Jake had just swung his body around the side of the moving truck to pass Emmett as well. Rose backed down but not on her own; Emmett was looking at her from the side-view mirror and waving his finger side to side in a "no" gesture meant for her temper. She huffed but fell back into line.
"I'll deal with you later." She stated with terrifying confidence.
20 minutes later they pulled into the gated lot leading up to their complex. Alice could be seen physically bouncing in her seat. Jasper trying and failing to calm her down. Rose pulled into her designated spot and jumped out as soon as the engine was off. She immediately walked up to Jake with determination set in her features, he was only just taking his helmet off when suddenly a sharp WHACK could be heard from across the lot.
"What was that for?" Jake asked incredulously.
"What was that for?! Are you seriously asking me that?" She raised her hand again for a second slap but was abruptly stopped midair by a large overpowering hand; Emmett. "Damn it! Let go! Or are you going to let-" Rose's screaming was cut off with Emmett's large fist colliding with Jake's chest.
"Now act your age asshole!" Emmett laughed at Jakes form, flat on his back, clutching to his chest.
"Fuck y-you." Jake managed to cough out from his wallowing on the ground.
"Can we please chill out and get this stuff inside? I'm tired of you guys and your childish fighting." Alice said while walking up to each of their three units and opening them wide to air them out as well as getting a good look at them before the extreme possibility of fighting destroyed them.
"Fine." everyone chorused out. Everyone looked around to another with eyes wide and burst out laughing before opening up the truck and beginning the unloading process.
I'm gonna have to stop it there before I end up with too much more info all at once.
So, as you can tell, I hope, there is something up with the Cullen family. What, more precisely, you'll have to wait on for confirmation. As well as more details... :D
Review and I may get more creative juices to feed my brain, thus writing more and sooner rather than later. :D
