Chapter 2
(Isabella's POV)
"EMO!!
Come on, we have to go! Mom and dad say that we need to go met our
new neighbors! So hurry up!" screamed a little pixie like girl from
up the aisle. She looked familiar, like from a photo I'd seen
somewhere.
"Coming Alice, and don't call me that! You little pixie!" yelled the mystery guy. Why did the name Alice sound familiar? I'd have to ask Emily later.
"I will if you stop calling me that! But hurry up!" she screamed back. For such a little person, she sure is loud.
"Sorry about her. She's just nervous because she wants our new neighbors to like us. Something about her and one of the girls becoming great friends. I never know." I shook my head, realizing that he was talking to me now.
"Sorry, what? I zoned out when your sister came up. I feel like I know her from somewhere. But oh well. What were you saying your name was?"
"Sorry, got to go." He handed me a piece of paper, and ran off to join his family. The girl named Hailey wrapping her arms around his waist, and hugging onto him. I watched as they walked out laughing with each other. I saw them get into really nice cars, and drive away.
I could only help thinking that I really messed up with that guy. No matter what I said, it always seemed to come out wrong. And what was with what I was thinking? I loved him? I hardly knew him. Or did I? I hardly remembered my human past, so I could have known him from there.
As I walked away, I realized I could have read his mind to figure out who exactly he was, but the fact that I could never crossed my mind, so I never did. Now he's too far away, I would never be able to find which is his, so I'm not going to try.
Oh well, I'll call him later. But right now, I needed to get our school supplies. I walked into Staples and got what we needed. Like pencils, pens, notebooks (extra for those who like to draw), and all the other crap that we needed.
After I was finished I tossed it all into the back of the car, and drove home. When I arrived Angel came running out of the house, her blonde hair flying everywhere, and pulled me to the door. I followed her, trying to figure out where she was taking me. She pulled me into the kitchen and sat me down on one of the chairs. As I looked around I saw that everyone was there.
"All right Bella. You win. I like the house," consented Emily. Sam, next to her, nodded his approval. Tori nodded too, along with Aaron who was next to her. He looked at David, who nodded. Then Chris said that he liked the house too, along with everyone else. Angel was hopping up and down in place, so I looked at her.
"THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE BEST HOUSE EVER! IT'S SO GREAT BELLA!" she screamed. I'm sure people in China could have heard her scream that. And their all the way around the globe (Well, maybe like Cairo, Egypt, but…). I cringed away from her, because of my vampire hearing.
"Thanks guys. I'm glad you appreciate the house I picked out. Now, Angel show me around and tell me what's whose and what not. Ok?" She nodded, and led me out of the kitchen. She led me around the first main floor. It consisted of a living room, the kitchen, a foyer, and an awesome dining room that's never used. She then showed me the second floor.
This one consisted of Emily and Sam's bedroom, Tori and Aaron's bedroom, along with Angel's and Chris's bedroom. David's bedroom was off to the side of the hallway, out of sight. You have to look for it to find it, you couldn't just look around and find it by accident. So that left my bedroom and everything else on the top floor. Or in the basement.
Angel then took me to the last floor on top, and showed me my bedroom. The walls were a deep blue, my favorite color. While the ceiling was a sky blue, to represent to sky. The carpet was green like the grass, and my bedspread was a very bright shade of red, to represent fire. My room represented the four elements. Water, air, earth, and fire, and I loved it. It showed how much I loved my family, since they controlled the elements.
She then showed me the game room which was at the other end of the hallway, but ok. She opened the door, and wow. We had every single gaming piece of equipment possible to humans in that room. And some that weren't on the shelves yet. We knew people. Chris, David, and Aaron would go crazy with this room, I just know thing will.
She then took me to the room across from that one. It was the library. It was filled with every single book every one of us had collected over the years. It was all in that one room, I couldn't wait to read them all again. Yes, again. I had already read them all at least twice each.
She then took me to the door across from mine, and stopped in front of it, not moving the door. She stared at me for a while before speaking.
"We all know how much you like writing and singing songs, so we decided that the recording room should be across from your room. And, it's soundproof, so we can't hear you downstairs, if you don't want us to hear it, that is. And the entire room in the basement is the training room, but I'm not going to show you that, because the boys are in it at the moment. And I don't want to get hit. And I don't think you do either."
"Thanks you guys. I absolutely love how you picked out the rooms. They are wonderful, and totally us." I responded.
"Emily says to get ready, our only neighbors are coming over. She wants us to look nice for the Cullens coming over. Something about her being related to one of them or something. Just go get ready. Dress your best, as in a dress and make up Bella, please?"
"Fine, only because Emily is asking me to look nice. Do you know which one she's related to?" I ask.
"I think one of the parents, but I don't know. She also said that you will recognize one of them, because she's met them already. But I have no idea what she's talking about, so…. Go get ready."
Angel walks back to the kitchen, but I call after her. Asking her to come help me with my make-up and outfit, since I suck at doing that type of thing. I'm not a girly type of girl like most are, but I don't mind going shopping, as long as it's not all day long shopping.
She came back and walked directly to my closet. After about ten seconds, she left my room and walked to hers. I followed her to her room, and watched as she went through her own closet.
"Were the clothes in my closet not good enough or something?" I asked.
"No, I just think that mine will be better than yours at this moment. So go put this on and all will be good." She handed me an outfit and pushed me towards the bathroom. "When you're finished open the door so I can come do your make-up." She closed the door, and walked downstairs. I could hear the stairs creaking, and voices downstairs, as she talked to Tori to get help with my make-up no doubt.
I looked at the outfit and thought, 'no way am I wearing that'. But as I thought about Emily being related to one of the Cullens, I found myself putting on the dress anyway. When I looked into the mirror, I would have fainted if I could.
I've always been beautiful, and becoming a vampire just enhanced that. But as time went on, the idea of me being beautiful just kinda wore off. I haven't actually thought about how I look as much lately, haven't had to, so I just get dress and go on with the day. But this dress made my self-consciousness come back full strong.
The outfit consisted of a skirt, and one shirt, along with a bra and underwear. You couldn't see the underwear, but you could see part of the bra. It just looked like a shirt that was underneath the first. The skirt itself was fine, but paired up with the top, and no way. But, yet I couldn't bring myself to pull it off. The skirt was a normal short denim skirt that came to about three-fourths down my thigh, and had two front pockets. The shirt on the other hand, was a lot more dramatic.
We were just meeting our neighbors, but Angel's putting me in this? Wow, she must be sensing something going on. Some ripple in her water element. Because the shirt she picked out was more of a vest then a shirt. It connected in the back of my neck, and come over my shoulders. Then came down the front, over my chest, and connected in the middle. Then went the rest of the way down to where the skirt was, and had a little 'v' in the middle, where the buttons ended. The buttons came down from where it connected near my chest, to the end just above the edge of my skirt. And it connected in the back with a strap, and that was it. For some reason, unknown to me, it was a dark blue, darker than any jeans I've ever seen.
(A/N- Sorry!!! But just to let you guys know her outfit is on my profile!)
I opened the door once I finished putting it on, and called down to Angel. In less than five seconds, she and Tori were both there, ready to go with their make-up boxes and containers. They pushed me back into the bathroom, and sat me down on the sinks edge, and had me close my eyes.
Then I felt poking and what felt like stabbing being done to my face. But I think the stabbing was just my imagination…hopefully. They were done after thirty minutes, but they would have taken more if not for Emily. She had told them about ten minutes ago, not to go overboard and that the Cullens would be here in about thirty minutes.
When they were done, finally, they allowed me to open my eyes. And when I did, I closed them right back up. Not from the light or anything like that. But because I knew that the girl in the mirror couldn't ever be me. Because the girl in the mirror was absolutely amazing, and I'm not even close to that.
Her eyes were just lightly rimmed with eyeliner, enough to make them pop, but not enough to make it look unnatural. She had a lit blush on her cheeks to make them how my cheeks were before my change. That easy triggered blush that I had, and hated. And the girl's lips glittered with lip gloss that Angel and Tori had applied to her lips.
When I opened my eyes again, she was still there, still looking at me. Her face looked like someone I've seen in one of my visions of my past. But I can't remember who though. I think it was either me or my mother, but I can never my past other then what my visions allow me to remember.
When I moved my hand, the hand in front of me moved, and I jumped in shock. When I jumped, I ended up jumping out of the chair, and a piece of paper fell out of the front pocket of the skirt. As I bent to pick up the piece of paper, my phone fell out of my pocket to. 'What is with things falling out of my pocket today?' I thought.
I picked up my phone and the paper, and walked out of the bathroom. I stuffed my phone back into my pocket, and looked at the paper. It was the piece of paper that the person gave to me earlier. It was folded over, so I opened it up, and saw a phone number written on it. He gave me his phone number? And he doesn't even know me? Wow, he's crazy then. I might as well call him anyways.
I took my phone back out and typed in his number. When I finished typing in his number, I put the piece of paper back into my pocket and put my phone to my ear. It rang twice before someone picked up.
"Hello?" came a girl's voice on the other side of the phone. I could hear male voices in the back. They seemed to be fighting over something. "Alice, give me the phone!" came one of them, talking to the person on the phone with me. I recognized the voice, but couldn't place it. "Never!" came the voice who was talking to me. It seemed she had turned away from the phone for a second.
"Hello? Is anyone there? Of course there is, I saw you calling. Are you going to answer?" came the voice, Alice if I heard the second voice clearly.
"Yes, I'm here." I respond, realizing she was talking to me now. Wow, I'm doing that a lot today.
"May I ask why you are calling my brother?" Alice asked.
"I was calling to ask his name. I asked him earlier, and he gave me a phone number. Then he left" I answered.
"Oh, him. He's a little busy at the moment. My other brothers are trying to get him ready, can he call you back?"
"Can you tell me his name?" I didn't hear anything after that for a while, so I said, "Alice? You still there?"
"How do you know my name?" she questioned.
"I heard someone yelling it in the back, and assumed it was you, sorry if it's not." I mentioned quickly, wanting to get off the phone. This Alice was starting to scare me a bit.
"Sorry about that. Don't worry I was just startled a bit. I zone off a lot, and you brought me back quicker then I'm use to. If I tell you his name now, things will go badly, if I allow you to know his name later, things will go great between you two, so I shall wait for you to come over. You should know our address, or you will shortly. If you have to ask for my brother, make sure it's the right one, not one of the other two. They get a tad bit annoying. Oh, and one more thing. Never call him Ed, Emo, or anything like that, ok? He doesn't like it." She stated this in all one breath.
"Ok, but who was he with earlier? When you guys were walking away? Someone wrapped their arms around him? Who was that?" I asked the questions too fast, I don't think she understood me, but apparently she did, because she answered me just fine.
"I'll answer your questions when you come over here, when ever that is…. Hang on a sec." she apparently put her hand over the mouth piece on the phone, because I could hardly make out what she was saying. But I could, barely.
"Emmett! Let him go! He's not doing anything! Gesh, all he wants to do is get the phone to talk to Bella, and you know he does. Now, let him go. She's already about to get off the phone. He can't make it over here in time." It's seems like she whispered it.
"Fine then, I'll let him go. It's your fault if your husband gets hurt because I'm not helping him." Came a voice in the background that was clearly masculine. But what was he talking about, husband? How old is Alice?
"ALICE! Give me the freaking phone! I need to tell her something! Or do you know something that we should? Alice… I'm warning you." Came the voiced I heard earlier and can't get out of my head.
"Yes I saw something happy. But I'm not telling you till I get off the phone with Bella, now shut up, and stop complaining." She uncovered the phone, and started talking to me. I could hear everything going on in the back clearly now. It seemed as if two people were holding back someone else. "Sorry about the Bella. My brothers are just being their idiot selves."
"That's ok Alice, my siblings are like that too. Just tell your brother to call me back tomorrow, I'm going somewhere this evening, and I won't have my phone on me."
"Oh, I know," she whispered. Then she got louder, "Ok, he'll give you a call tomorrow." She was about to hang up when she said something else. "Even though he won't need to." She hung up right after she said that, so I'm guessing it wasn't meant for me to hear.
"BELLA!" came a scream from right next to my ear. I turned around, covering my ear like it hurt.
"What Angel?" I answered her scream calmly.
"Emily says it's time to go." She skipped out of the room, her blonde hair going up and down. When she got to the door, she turned, her hair following her head like a game of follow the leader. "So that means right now Bella, no more phone calls!" And with that she turned and left.
I followed after her, and headed downstairs and to the living room. When I got there every turned and looked at me, like they were getting ready to tell me something important.
(Alice's POV)
I just got in from shopping when I heard Edward's phone ringing. I looked and saw he was wrestling with Emmett and Jasper out front. Huh, wonder how I missed that. Oh well, I already saw that it was Bella calling, might as well set my plan into action. I picked up the phone and answered it.
"Hello?" I asked, just as Edward came running in with Emmett and Jasper hot on his heels. They grabbed him before he got to me, and pulled him back and away from me.
"Alice give me the phone!" Edward screamed at me. I guess he was expecting Bella to call. Oh, this is going to be fun.
"Never!" I screamed back, turning away from the mouth piece so I didn't hurt Bella's overly sensitive ears.
"Hello? Is anyone there? Of course there is, I saw you calling. Are you going to answer?"I asked, turning back to the phone. I knew that just confused the heck out of Bella, but what the heck, its fun to mess with Edward. And he apparently didn't know that Bella was a vampire yet, because he was looking at me like I was crazy for just implying I could see the future. Which I can!
"Yes, I'm here." Bella answered, she seemed distracted, like listening to another conversation. So she was listening to or conversation on this end huh? This just got a whole lot better than it was before. I haven't had this much fun since ever! Well, maybe mine and Jazzy's honeymoon, but you get the idea.
"May I ask why you are calling my brother?" I asked. I already knew the answer, but it's still fun to hear her answer. And it drove Edward crazy because I kept the conversation going with Bella instead of giving him the phone.
"I was calling to ask his name. I asked him earlier, and he gave me a phone number, then he left the store," She answered. I remembered that, we had to go because we were meeting her family later, but neither of the two of them knows that though do they?
"Oh, him. He's a little busy at the moment. My other brothers are trying to get him ready, can he call you back?" I'm not lying, he is busy. Busy trying to get free from Emmett and Jasper's grasp. He was falling miserably. And Emmett and Jasper were supposed to be helping him get ready for when the Smith's come over.
"Can you tell me his name?" That was the last thing I heard from Bella, before the darkness of a vision came at me. The vision, I knew was about Bella and Edward, because that was what I was thinking about when it started. So I closed off my mind from Edward, and watched the vision.
Vision
Bella and Edward were looking at each other and crying. Well, trying to cry, they were vampires, so no real tears ever fell. They turned and walked away from each other, going in opposite ways, like they just weren't meant for each other. But I know they are. This must be what's going to happen if I tell Bella his name now.
My vision changes to the beginning of that vision, telling me why that happened.
Bella comes to our house with her family. She sees Edward and makes a connection that Edward's dating Hailey, and gets mad at him. She starts yelling at him, and he tries to explain to her that's not what's happening. But she won't listen to him, because she thinks he's a liar. She runs out of the house and comes to a meadow. Edward catches up, and tries to talk to her, but she just won't listen. She runs again, and this time she teleports herself halfway through her run, and ends up back at her house, and never sees Edward again.
I think about not telling Bella Edward's name and my vision changed again. These are getting annoying, but hopefully this vision is better.
Bella comes to our house with her family and sit down in the living room. We come downstairs one at a time. Carlisle first, then Esme, then Emmett and Rosalie, then Jasper goes, and I come up behind him. Skyla comes downstairs with Hailey, playing around, since their best friends. Edward stays upstairs, cleaning up the mess we made after the phone call. We introduce ourselves and explain the relationships and sibling thing. Edward comes down the stairs and we introduce him. He and Bella talk, and everything goes well for them.
"Alice? You still there?" I shook my head, coming out of the visions. I like the second one better, so I won't tell Bella his name yet. She can figure it out later, when she comes over. I realized what Bella said.
"How do you know my name?" I question her. I look over at Edward and he's looking at me weird. Like I should know how she knows my name. I shrug my shoulders at him, and turn my attention back to the conversation.
"…yelling it in the back, and assumed it was you, sorry if it's not" she mentioned quickly. So quickly I missed the first bit, but I guessed she heard Edward yell it in the back earlier. She seemed like she wanted to get off the phone, so I said quickly,
"Sorry about that. Don't worry I was just startled a bit. I zone off a lot, and you brought me back quicker then I'm use to. If I tell you his name now, things will go badly, if I allow you to know his name later, things will go great between you two, so I shall wait for you to come over. You should know our address, or you will shortly. If you have to ask for my brother, never call him Ed, Emo, or anything like that, ok? He doesn't like it."
"Ok, but who was he with earlier? When you guys were walking away? Someone wrapped their arms around him? Who was that?" she asked back. It sounded like she needed to know desperately. I know who she's talking about.
"I'll answer your questions when you come over here, when ever that is…. Hang on a sec." I put my hand over the mouth piece, and turned away from the phone. "Emmett! Let him go! He's not doing anything! Gesh, all he wants to do is get the phone to talk to Bella, and you know he does. Now, let him go. She's already about to get off the phone. He can't make it over here in time," I screamed at Emmett. He's really starting to get annoying. Sure, Edward was going to kill me for answering his phone and all, but I like a good chase. Especially from my brother.
"Fine then, I'll let him go. It's your fault if your husband gets hurt because I'm not helping him."Emmett responded. And he actually made sense for once. If he let go, Jasper would have to hold back Edward all by himself, and Edward's too strong for that.
"ALICE! Give me the freaking phone! I need to tell her something! Or do you know something that we should? Alice… I'm warning you." Edward yelled at me, while trying to get Jasper off of his arm so he could get me. But he stopped at the end of his sentence.
"Yes I saw something happy. But I'm not telling you till I get off the phone with Bella, now shut up, and stop complaining." I uncovered the phone as I turned back. Emmett grabbed Edward again, because he knew I was almost through, and I needed him to hold Edward from getting the phone. "Sorry about the Bella. My brothers are just being their idiot selves."
"That's ok Alice, my siblings are like that too. Just tell your brother to call me back tomorrow, I'm going somewhere this evening, and I won't have my phone on me." I know she won't, she's coming here tonight. Ah shit, Edward heard that didn't he? I looked at him and he was looking at me funny. He heard me cuss, but not anything before that. YES! A smile slid onto my face as I turned my attention back to the phone.
"Oh, I know," I whispered. Then I got louder, "Ok, he'll give you a call tomorrow." I was about to hang up, but I whispered something into the phone. Low enough Edward couldn't hear, but louder enough Bella could just make it out. "Even though he won't need to." I hung up so Bella couldn't ask me about what I said, and have Edward hear about it.
I pulled the phone away from my ear, and looked at the incoming calls. Bella's phone number was there. It said 240-953-4894. I memorized it, and then deleted it from Edward's phone so he didn't have it.
"You can let him go now guys. I'm done." I dropped Edward's phone onto the couch and picked up my shopping bags and headed for my room. When I got there I heard Edward scream,
"ALICE! YOU ERASED HER NUMBER?"
"Yes, I did. What did you want me to do? Let you have it? No way," I whispered knowing he could hear me just fine. I went into my room, and organized my new clothes in my closet that was ten times as big as any other. I put the skirts on one side with the dresses. Along with the shirts on the other with the few pairs of pants that I own. The ones I use for baseball.
"Alice come here please," called Esme from downstairs. Oh no. Edward got to the parents first. Dang it! Now I'm going to get in trouble. I walked downstairs slowly, with the 'puppy-dog pout' on my face. "Alice, don't give me that face." I looked up at her, with the face still on.
"What face Esme?" I ask.
"The one on your face. You aren't getting out of this one." Esme responds.
"Fine, what do you want me for?" I ask her.
"Please explain what happened in your eyes. Edward has already told his side of the story."
"Fine. I came home from shopping, and heard Edward's phone ringing. He was outside wrestling with Emmett and Jasper, so I answered it. It was the girl he met at the store while we were getting our supplies for next year. He came back in and tried to take the phone from me as I was talking to her. Half way through I had a vision, and told the girl that she would find out his name later. She didn't understand me, but she will shortly. In about ten minutes. But still, I hanged up, and deleted her number from his phone, so he won't call her back before he needs to. Which will be tomorrow. If he wants her number, I have it memorized, so ask me, and I'll give it to him when it's time. Now then can I go get dressed for our neighbors?" I said in two breaths. Not that I needed any to say it all, but you know. You have to try and act human.
Esme told me I could, but before I left she called me back. She apparently had to ask me something, because Edward wasn't telling her the answer. She and Carlisle wanted to know, along with Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, Hailey, and Skyla.
"Can you tell us the girl's name Alice? We all want to know," asked Esme nicely.
"I can, but I won't. You'll figure it out in, five, four, three, two, and one." I pointed to the door, just as a knock was heard on it. When everyone else turned to get the door, I ran upstairs with everyone else, expect Carlisle, and got ready. Then we went downstairs one at a time. With Edward staying upstairs.
