When You're Me: Life Sucks

A.N. Stephenie Meyer owns all the characters except for the one's specifically listed below. The only character I own is the OC. Theresa, George, Sophie, Luca, Alejandro, Morgan, Carl, Petey, Jackson, and Eddie Mack belong to Charlotte Webber in her story Life Sucks and You Live Forever. You need to read that first. It's really long but definitely worth it. This takes place shortly after the epilogue in Life Sucks.

A.N. Sadly I am not Stephenie Meyer and do not own or even dream to own Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, or Breaking Dawn. I can only hope to do her and Charlotte Weber's writing justice. Wish me luck!

A.N. I know it got happy quickly but I don't like writing sad scenes and I'm sick of no romance. I didn't describe Chris because I wanted you to imagine whatever you considered comforting and protective. Finally, Chris is not a vampire and he's 17 which is Sophie's apparent age.

Chapter 3: Falling

I woke up in Chris's warm, comforting arms in the late afternoon. He was still awake and looking at me adoringly.

"I didn't want to wake you up by moving." He muttered and looked down but I caught his blush.

"It's totally fine. Ummm. I think I should go. My family's probably wondering where I am."

"Oh, Yea!" He jumped up, grabbed his cat, and started to walk away. This created an uneasy feeling. I wanted him to stay.

"Wait!" I called uncharacteristically. Why was I having any feelings for this stranger? Sure, I fell asleep in his arms holding his cat but why should that matter. He was just some guy that was nice to me. Oh, well that explained it. He was the first guy that didn't want anything from me. He was just being nice and trying to help someone. There is no reason I should be mad at myself for this.

"Huh?" He turned and said.

"Uh," I hadn't really planned what I was going to say, "Do you want to go back to my house?" What was I saying? I had vampires and werewolves in my house who were drinking Tru Blood which most humans know to be put inside people in place of blood. Why was I talking? Mom was going to KILL me! He looked really confused. This distracted me. What about that could possibly be so confusing?

"What?" I asked.

"Are you kidding?" He asked.

"Um. No. Why?"

"Because you are obviously beautiful and extraordinary and I'm just an ordinary guy walking his cat."

This was the first time a guy called me beautiful. Embry didn't because I was too young and the rest of the guys I dated were too big of jerks to call me anything other than "hot" or "sexy". This was a nice change.

"You're not an ordinary guy." I started, "You're nice which let me tell you is RARE." I finished. He blushed and looked down again.

"So you want to or not?" I asked. He nodded yes. "Follow me." I added because he was just standing there seeming to not know what to do.

"Umm, my car…?" He asked. "I can give you a ride if you show me where it is."

"Okay, just let me call my family." I called my mom's cell.

"Hey sweetie." She said.

"Hi mom, uh I'm gonna come home soon but I'm bringing someone with me."

"Okay… Who is this?"

"Just some guy I met at the park. Beware he's bringing a cat."

"That's fine. Let me tell everyone."

"Okay, bye."

"Bye."

I walked back over to Chris.

"Okay, do you need to call your parents?" He looked upset about something but quickly shook it off by saying, "Nope."

"Cool but beware my whole family lives there not just my parents. There are my parents, my grandparents, my aunts, my uncles, my brother, and probably some random people who either aren't related or I don't know the relation. My two exes who are my cousin's real kids will probably be there. Oh, and my twin brother and his wife who is the only one who is actually related to me. I am adopted as are basically everyone in my family including my parents. You'll get to meet them all except for the ones that are "busy" with their partners. Ignore how messed up they are and don't ask questions."

He looked extremely confused but just replied by asked "Ready to go?"

"Yea." I replied as I climbed into the front seat of his truck. It had a strange odor but I decided to let it go. He pulled away and I gave him directions to my house. When we got there he looked awe struck. It probably had to do with the point that it was already huge before Esme added the extensions. Now it was downright, ridiculously huge.

"Come on, let's meet the family."

"Okaaayyyy." He said but he looked intimidated. I grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the front door ignoring the tingling sensation it sent down my hands. We got to the house and I opened the front door and let him in Jasper and my dad were playing some X Box game, mom was on the piano. Jake was laughing at dad. George was sitting on the couch with Theresa on his lap and they were staring into each others' eyes. Alice was sitting next to Jasper whispering what Emmett would do next. Edward was showing my mom something on the piano while Bella and Esme were in the kitchen cooking something for the wolves and Alejandro. Luca was staring seductively at Alejandro. Petey was staring off into space and I assume that Eddie Mack was in La Push. Morgan and Marcus weren't here and I assume they were doing something in private. Carl was sitting on the floor watching the X Box. Amazingly no one was doing any serious PDA. I introduced Chris to everyone and vice versa. Chris looked really confused but decided to follow my directions to not ask questions. No one was talking and it was really awkward. Finally my dad broke the silence.

"Why aren't you asking questions?"

"Because Sophie told me not to?" Chris replied although it sounded like a question.

"Okay then, I like you." My dad replied. Chris looked extremely uncomfortable.

"Okay," I cut in, "Sorry to disturb this awkward moment but Chris and I are going to my room." I pulled on his hand and led him to my room as he walked behind me in a mummy-like daze. I sat on my bed and welcomed him to join me. I sat against the headboard and he sat facing me. He broke the silence.

"Wow, You have a big family, a big house, a big room, What else?"

"Well, my closet isn't small." I joked.

"I can imagine." He said. I laughed.

"You wanna listen to some music?" I asked.

"Sure." He replied.

I took the remote from behind my pillow and hit "play" The first song that played was "Summer Nights" by Rascal Flatts. I started singing along which made Chris laugh.

"You're pretty good." He noted which made me laugh.

"Thanks." I said while trying to stifle giggles. This really wasn't that funny. Oh, right. The funny part was that Chris was sitting on my bed with me. "Let's hear you sing." I said. It was obvious he knew the words because of the way he was lip syncing along to it.

"I really can't sing!" he said but started anyway. Okay, he was right. He really couldn't sing. He was off pitch and just horrible!

"STOP!" I screamed. But he didn't stop singing. He just laughed and said, "You asked for it." I went and put my hand over his mouth. He kept singing but it came out jumbled. I decided that this had to stop so I crawled over to him and pushed him forcefully down towards the bed. He laughed and I landed on top of him. Right at that moment Amazed by Lonestar came on. This isn't awkward at all… I was laying next to a cute guy on my bed while a romantic love song came on. He sat up first.

"Umm. " He said obviously trying to think of something to say. "I should go it's getting dark"

"Uh, yea. I said. I'll walk you out."

We walked down and out to his truck. I was kind of embarrassed but I wanted to see him again. I finally just decided to ask.

"Can you come by tomorrow?" I asked nervously.

"Yeah!" He replied a little too quickly and then looked down and blushed. "What time?"

"Whatever works. How about ten?" I asked hoping it wasn't too early but wanting to see him again soon.

"Sure" he replied. Before getting in his truck and driving away. Why was I having feelings for this guy? I didn't know but I decided to take Edwards advice.

I walked in the house and over to my mom at the piano. "Mom, I need to talk to you."

She followed me up to my room. Then I said the words that I had been trying to not even let myself think.

"I think I'm falling for Chris."
