Johnny'sPOV
"Back at Gilligan's island." Hop sighed flopping onto the couch.
I laughed, this is our little island that mom bought us. We came here to get away.
"It really is; we don't even have a way off the island this time." Mom murmured.
She had been shaken by the arrival of his family. She didn't think he was with them but we never knew for sure.
"Hey, Coop?" Hop said giving Cooper the suggestively raised eyebrow.
His eyes brightened, "We'll be gone for…a while."
He scooped her up and they were gone.
"Her innocence is long gone." Mom laughed.
"Of course, nobody believes us though." I smiled turning on the TV.
"I'm glad we got electricity. We're going to be here for a long time." I murmured, not really paying attention to the TV but more to mom.
She nodded but didn't notice me staring at her. She started putting the life time supply of chips in the cabinets.
I started to wonder what she was like when she was human.
Was she funny? She is now. Was she graceful? I laughed trying to imagine mom tripping over a pile of books.
I fell asleep imagining different ways to kill that bastard…
____Later____
"They've been gone for eight days; couldn't you possibly be bored by now?" I murmured.
Mom shrugged and continued to read 'Wuthering Heights'.
"I'm going to find them." I told mom, she nodded.
I wondered around the beach not really finding much but sand, rocks, and coconuts.
I heard giggling off in a crowd of trees, "Cooper! Stop it!"
"Hey guys!" I yelled in their direction.
Soon Hop burst from the tree line with Cooper following her.
He grabbed her waist and murmured into her neck, "Gotcha."
She giggled, "Hey Johnny, how's mom holding up?"
"You would know if you were there for the past eight days." I smirked.
"Holy shit, eight days?" Cooper gaped.
I nodded, "Yeah she's reading Wuth-"
I was cut off by Hop's squealing, "Are those dolphins?"
She pointed to the five forms off in the distance.
"I think so." I shrugged.
"Can we see them?" She looked up at Cooper with the look in her eyes that made him melt.
"Sure." He said with his knees shaking slightly.
"God, Hop, your sixteen you would think you were a little more grown up." I chuckled.
"I'm technically sixty, so there." She slapped my arm.
Soon the dolphins were within seeing distance.
I heard one of them groan, and we all laughed, being teenagers we have sick minds.
"I think those are the dolphins we fed yesterday." Cooper said.
Soon they were closer, and they weren't dolphins.
"Those aren't dolphins! They're people!" Hop screeched.
Sure enough, five people stood up.
"The Cullens!" Cooper fumed taking his protective stance in front of Hop.
"I'm going to tell mom." I said calmly running away.
It didn't take very long for me to get to the hut.
"They're here." I breathed.
Mom looked up with a scared expression.
"We need to go see them, at least resolve this." I managed to keep my voice leveled.
She nodded, took my hand, and ran.
We soon got to where they were.
"Can we leave now?" The big one whined.
"No." The blonde one hissed.
"Which one is Edward?" Cooper asked mom.
She pointed to the one with bronze hair.
"Mom, will they attack us?" Hop asked shakily from behind Cooper.
Edward gasped but didn't make a move to come near us.
"I don't know honey." She answered, and then turned to them, "Will you?"
"Of course not, Bells." The big one answered.
Mom nodded, "Why are you here?"
"To apologize." Edward murmured, "For everything."
Mom nodded.
"That day I had to tell you I didn't love you, it was a lie. Everything was a lie. Do you think I could leave you? Did you honestly believe my lie? I was heartbroken that one word could break all the faith you ever had in me. I only left to protect you from what I am. It was a failed attempt and I'm sorry." He never came over a whisper but I think I believe him.
"Thank you, Edward." Mom murmured.
She looked in Hop's, Cooper's, and my eyes for a long moment then released my hand and stepped toward him.
"I forgive you Edward, but" Mom took a deep, unnecessary, breath, "I can't be with you. Not yet."
"I know, I'm a monster." Edward muttered.
"You're all welcome to stay here. You can take Hop and Cooper's cabin." She ignored his last statement.
They both shook their heads.
"Why not?" Mom asked.
Hop dug her face in Cooper's neck and he murmured, "Because it's no longer standing."
I laughed with Mom, "Since when?"
"Last night." They both murmured.
I laughed again but was joined by the big one who elbowed the blonde one.
"Well we'll build our own cabin." The huge one shrugged.
"I don't know Emmett…" She eyed the big one nervously.
"Please, we'll only be here for a while." He left with the blonde one and the blonde boy.
"I'm going to go finish my book." Mom headed back to our hut.
"Stay away from us." Cooper glared and picked Hop up and ran.
I shuddered and headed back to the cabin, avoiding mom.
I flicked the TV on, and watched the news. To say at the least, it was boring.
I heard a knock then a male voice ask. "Can I come in?"
Mom sighed, "Sure."
"You want to talk?" he asked mom.
She nodded and they ran off.
My only thought was: Where has my life gone?
Wow there are a lot of readers.
