The trees started to melt and fade away as I was still listening to Quil-and-Paul-babble, but it wasn't all that bad; I had learned that there was a day care center for Jules to go to, a small store that was hiring, and even a few girls my age for me to hang out with when I wasn't busy getting to know my father and brother all over again.
Quil wasn't as shy as I had thought; he was still babbling at top speed about his two of his other friends, Jacob and Embry, and when they all had gotten caught skipping out of detention. From the sounds of it, they had gotten in some serious trouble from it.
And Paul. How could I describe him? Tempermental, loud, funny, sometimes moody–he was like my twin from another life time.
Jules was passed out cold, her head tilted toward the side, and her jaw slacking. The trees were now thinning even more as I got my first glimpse of the coast line that I was going to be living by.
The gray waves looked large, and almost hungry. They would be brutal to swim in at this time of year. The jagged cliffs surrounded the water, and only one stop remained for a beach, which was rocky and sandy and behind it was many trees. I knew Jules wouldn't be going there until it was warmer. Other than that, it was beautiful.
I felt at home. The trees didn't scare me as much as I thought they would. They actually seemed to be welcoming me, like I was a lost child. I couldn't help but sigh in contentment.
" . . . and then we were all like, 'Heck no!' and we bolted like bats out of hell!" Quil was laughing as he finished yet another story about he and his friends.
"Interesting," I said, raising my eyebrows.
"It was risky, but worth it," Quil agreed, still chuckling as we crawled down the gravel road. Quil was watching out the window as we started to pass by houses now. I was disappointed that the cliffs were gone, but I knew I would have to live with the feeling for only a short while.
Paul rolled his eyes. "I thought you'd never shut up."
"I think it's nice. You know, that he's telling me about his friends. They seem . . . fun." Rebellious was more the word I was going to say, but I didn't want to offend anyone.
Quil turned to face me quickly so he could grin. "Yeah. All the guys–oh, oops, almost forgot about Rachel, Leah, Kim, and Emily–are really nice. You'll like them."
I smiled back at him before he turned around again. "You guys have your little, I guess, group, don't you?" I couldn't help but ask questions. I wanted to know.
Paul was quick to answer. "Yup. Though, I guess the girls are more like our sisters then anything. Sam and Emily are together and Emily's basically the 'mother' of the group. Kim and Jared are seeing each other, and Kim's like the 'extremely smart one'. Leah's the 'cranky witch' and Rachel's . . . well . . ." Paul trailed off, looking up to the roof of the car. "She's the best girl I've ever had."
I was almost shocked, but yet I was happy. At least I'd have a girl to hang out with. "You have a girlfriend?" I asked.
Paul nodded, grinning. "Yup."
"How long have you two been together?"
"'Bout . . . six months. It'll be seven next week." Paul was beaming.
Aw. Paul wasn't so tough after all. "Oh. Congrats."
Paul grinned again. "Thanks. You got a guy?" He didn't seem like he was going to be the overprotective brother.
"No," I laughed.
Quil started laughing too. "Cheers to single-ness!"
"Cheers!" I was giggling so much I barely noticed that we pulled into a driveway.
But when I did notice, my stomach tightened into a ball, and I felt like I was going to puke.
Well? Like it? Hate it? Review please? Someone help me with my homework?
Oh, one last thing; if you haven't already figures it out, it's after Breaking Dawn.
Well, the filler stuff will be important later, I hope.
Thanks for reading!!
