I am so sorry for leaving it this long,abut you can thank the tv for giving me the inspiration to write the next chapter. New Moon was on and it reminded me that I hadn't update this. It's exam time and so you probably won't get another chapter until two weeks or something but I hope this will tide you over. Look over the last chapter if you don't remember what is happening but thank you for being patient!


Chapter 3

I twirled in front of the mirror as Alice rolled her eyes.

"I'm glad you like it then, I only had a limited time to work my magic," she frowned as she fluffed up my hair.

"Well Alice I think you down a wonderful job," I grinned, staring at my reflection.

"To be honest, there is not enough leather for my liking but I would have to agree," Yvonne chipped in as she brought a leather jacket towards me.

"No!" Alice half shouted and slapped away her adopted sister's hands. I laughed and shook my head at them, letting my curls fly around my face. They were completely different, Alice being small, petite and totally girly while Yvonne was tall and had a biker style. The only thing they had in common was that they both adored fashion, and I guess they both loved Edward like a brother.

"Let's leave the leather tonight, maybe another time?" I teased Yvonne.

"I'm going to hold you to that."

The two vampire girls turned to the window for a second and then faced me again.

"You're date's here!" Alice grinned before spinning me round and pushing me towards the door.

"Yes, Prince Edward..." Yvonne's face looked sad for a moment before snapping back to it's cheerful self but I didn't fail to miss that slight second.

I flew down the stairs and ripped open the door a second before Edward knocked. He grinned at me before his eyes nearly popped out his sockets as he checked out my dress. I gave him a twirl that I had practiced earlier and giggled.

"Wow," was the only thing he could say for a couple of minutes and I felt a sense of pride at leaving a vampire speechless.

I put my hand behind his head and brought his lips down to meet mine. I kissed him gently before murmuring against his lips, "Thanks again for the ride home."

"No problem," he murmured back, his breath tickling my lips.

I pulled back as Charlie entered the room, camera in hand.

"Your mom wanted me to take pictures of you and Edward," he explained as he tried to figure out how to work it.

A little alarm bell in my head went off as I panicked that Edward wouldn't show up in the picture. I relaxed when I remembered that Edward had dismissed that theory when I asked him about it one time. It was going to take some getting used to the real vampires and the imaginary ones.

Edward put his arm around my waist as Charlie held the digital camera up at his eye.

"Dad, that's not how you use it!" I laughed.

"Here, let me get it for you," Yvonne offered.

"Good idea, I need to go and get Jasper anyway," Alice said, her voice chiming as she thought of her man. "See you all soon!" With a wave she left the house.

Charlie waved back and shook his head with a smile. "I really like that girl," he didn't mean to say out loud.

I smiled professionally at the camera as Yvonne took pictures. It took me years to find my trademark smile and now it was the only thing I could do when faced with a camera. Edward felt stiff beside me and I turned my head up to look at him. His mouth was in a tight line and slightly turned up at the corners. It looked forced and I frowned as the camera flashed again. He looked down at me, his usual crooked smile never appearing on his face.

My brain told him to distract him quickly.

"Well, we should probably get going now, don't want to miss the group photo," I lauded nervously while grabbing his hand. "Bye dad!" I called before I lead the vampire siblings out of the house.

"Well kiddies, this is where I leave you. I might come to your little dance later," Yvonne said, sounding rather bored. "I'll be the one in red."

Edwards flashed her a warning look and she shrugged. Yvonne walked at a rather fast human pace before darting out of sight as she came to the cover of the woods.

I turned to Edward and smiled. "I've been waiting for this for ages!" I admitted with a sigh. "I really want it to be a perfect night."

A guilty look flashed across his face when I said perfect and again I got the feeling that something dreadful was going to happen. He plastered on a fake smile when he told me it would be perfect. But I knew he was lying.


We arrived at Forks High school at half past seven. I hopped giddily in my seat as I saw how glamorous the place looked, and all my classmates. Jessica looked gorgeous in a short floaty hot pink dress and I nearly dropped my purse when I saw the figure hugging yellow dress that Angela was wearing. It really showed off her natural tan and I told her that. She blushed at my comment.

However, the person who really tried to steal the show was Lauren. Her dress was extravagant, big puffy sleeves and a puffy princess dress skirt, and it was all a light pink colour. She had a tiara on her head and had enlisted the help of two unfortunate girls to help carry round the puffy skirt.

After the group picture had been taken, we gathered together again as Lauren spotted us.

"Hey guys!" she called as she hobbled over to us, knocking down a table in the process. "You all look great!"

Her eyes skimmed over my dress with a look of disgust and I couldn't help but inwardly chuckle. My dress was simple yet elegant and had got more compliments in five minutes than hers would the whole night.

"Wow, your dress is just... Wow," Jessica tried to offer a positive compliment but came up with nothing.

"I love the colour," Angela managed to force out.

"The dress suits you," I said honestly. It may have been hellish but Lauren did manage to pull it off better than anyone else did. I imagined it in white and realised that was probably what her wedding dress would be like. I would be surprised if it wasn't.

She ignored my comment and beamed at Edward. "My my, you clean up well Mr Cullen," she giggled while batting her lashes. "Would you mind saving one dance for me?"

There were a number of reactions I thought Edward would do to that comment, but none of them were what happened.

"Sure, but only one I'm afraid."

I had to stop my jaw from hitting the floor. However, the jaws of Mike, Angela, Eric, and Jessica didn't get saved in time. The looked as completely shocked as I felt.

I struggled to regain my composure as Lauren smirked.

"Well I'm afraid that dance won't be just now, he's occupied at the moment," I laughed half-heatedly as I lead Edward out on to the floor. I made a mental note to make sure they danced at a fast song so she could hardly dance at all.

When everyone was dancing I looked up at Edward and hissed, "What the hell?"

He looked down and shrugged."I wouldn't be able to reach her, the dress is in the way."

That made me feel a little better, but I had still wanted him to wrap his arm around me and say 'I can't, I've already promised all my dances to the beautiful lady here' before kissing my cheek.

But nothing seemed to be going my way tonight.

I heard a ripping sound and we turned to see Lauren's skirt half on her legs, half off and trailing on the floor with an apologetic Tyler chasing after her.

"Well there goes that idea," Edward mumbled.

"Fancy meeting you here!" a tinkling voice sounded behind me and Alice and Jasper waltzed close to us. "I just love the waltz, don't you?" she laughed.

Jasper spun her under his arm and then held her close, their gazes locked the whole time, never looking away as they swayed. I turned back to Edward and noticed he was holding me rather awkwardly unlike the moulded shape that was Alice and Jasper.

I tried to get closer to him and lay my head on his shoulder, breathing in the wonderful smell of his cologne. I didn't like where this was going at all.

Most of the night was like that. Sure, we danced together a lot but we never talked. The crooked smile never appeared on his face, the twinkle never appeared in his eyes and I felt lifeless beside him. He seemed to be draining the life out of me with his foul mood and I got help but chuckle grimly at the irony of the situation.

"We need to go outside right now," Edward whispered before leading me out the back to the school's garden.

"What's going on?" I asked as we sat on the swinging seat.

"Lauren was looking for me and the skirt of her dress is fully ripped off. And she asked the DJ for a slow song next so. Would have to hold her."

"That bitch," I muttered. "She knows you are my man."

The guilt flashed across his face again and this time I had had enough.

"Edward, would you mind telling me what's going on? First you leave me to burn on the roof, then you don't make up with me. You've been moody and you always seem to be in pain when I mention us as a couple. What is going on with you?" I was truly exasperated at the situation, I hated it.

"I just wanted this to be the perfect night for you," Edward said, completely avoiding the question.

"Well I hate to break it to you but it has been far from perfect. So tell me."

He took a deep breath of the air he didn't need and let it out slowly.

"Alright, we're moving."

I laughed slightly. "No we are not."

"Not we, I meant me and my family."

There was no laughter this time. I felt as if the wind had been knocked right out of my lungs and I struggled to find the air to talk. "Excuse me?" I choked out.

"You heard me. Carlisle is looking too young to pass at that age now, it's time for us to move on. It will also stop you from being at risk from Jenna, we wouldn't be together anymore so she would have no reason to hate you."

My mouth open and shut much like a goldfish. This time I didn't say a word.

It was my fault Jenna's best friend was killed, and although her friendship with Sophie didn't really seem to mean much to her since she was sleeping with Sophie's boyfriend, it would be a reason to hunt me down and kill me. But that didn't seem to have occurred to Edward.

"Alice didn't see anything bad in your future when we made the decision and so you will be safe."

"When do you leave?" I managed to whisper.

"That's the thing, it is only Alice, Jasper and I that have to leave. Everyone else is gone."

"I was just at your house the other day!" I exclaimed unbelievingly. "You couldn't possibly have packed that quickly!"

"Vampires that have unbelievable strength, are lightening fast and don't sleep? It took is one night to pack everything into boxes that we wanted to keep and put it in the cars. Alice, Jasper and I leaving tonight."

Once again I lost the ability to breath and tears started to pour down my face. I couldn't believe it.

"After all we've been through?" I whispered again.

He didn't answer and didn't show any emotion. He leant in to kiss my cheek quickly before standing back and walking into the night.

I realised as a loud sob escaped me, that not only was I losing my boyfriend, I was losing my best friend as well.

She didn't even say goodbye.


I warned you that this was going to be like New Moon. Tell me what you are thinking about Edward right now, I'm annoyed with him and I'm that one that's writing!

Again, please leave a comment telling me what you think, it might help me update sooner... :P thanks for reading!
