Just to recap: Just then, Alice stood up and pranced over to me.
"Bella, please come with me darling. I have something to tell you…" She said.
Oh, so they're talking to me again now. Okay. Maybe she'll have an explanation.
Instead of answering Alice, I just stood up and followed her into the car park. She walked over to her Porsche and perched herself gracefully on the hood.
"Well, Bella. You've probably noticed that our family has been acting a little weird…"
"Yeah…?" I probed her to continue.
"Well, our family is…a bit different than others. You know about us, don't you?"
"Your family, the Cullens? Or your family as in… all of you?"
"As in all of us."
"Oh okay. Yes, I've heard stories but I don't know if they're true or not." I explained, feeling stupid for listening to the rumours.
"Well, cut the story short, all of the Cullens and Hales are adopted. Edward and Emmett are actually brothers. The Hales parents died…awhile ago" for an unknown reason she chuckled as she said that. "And now they travel around with us – we're a very big family."
"Anyways, getting to the point Bella, you can't tell anyone what I'm about to tell you. No one. Do you promise me that?"
I nodded and she took a deep breath, as if getting ready for something life changing. Surely this information couldn't be that big, could it?
The usual calm silence of the car park felt almost eerie now. A bit like a horror film, when you know something really, really scary is going to happen, but no matter how hard you try; you can't prepare yourself for it.
"Well, Bella…we're – my family and the Hales - we're all –"
"ALICE!? COME HERE NOW!!!" Edwards voice ripped through her sentence like a knife, cutting off the bit I yearned for the most – the truth.
Argh, Bella! Stop thinking about this like it is some huge mystery! She is most likely going to tell you that they're moving or something! It's no big deal!!!
But not matter how much I screamed that to myself in my head, I just couldn't believe it. I wanted to know what she was going to say, but as I turned around towards where she had run, both her and Edward were gone.
Oh well. If it's that important she'll tell you later.
I made my way back to the cafeteria and waited for my next class. The bell rang and I walked to History, wanting an explanation from Alice. I was just about to walk in when Kate walked out and dragged me into a quiet area in the hallway.
Class was about to start, so I presumed Kate had permission from Esme to be out of class.
"Listen Bella," she whispered sharply, but not as if she were frustrated; as if she was impatient for something "Lots of strange things will happen today, and you must promise me not to be shocked by them and not to tell anyone of them. Okay? Deal?"
She extended an alabaster hand and looked at me with a pleading look.
I took her hand in mine, and was shocked by the cold, but I didn't show it on my face – I wouldn't want to break the deal so early.
"Deal" I murmured. She nodded, turned on her heel and glided back to class.
I was on guard for the rest of the day, and as Kate predicted, strange things kept happening…
All throughout the rest of the day, either Maggie, Alice, Kate or Emmett would walk up to me with a big smile on their face. This is what happened each time:
When Maggie walked towards me, Edward followed; clapped his hand on her shoulder and drove her in a different direction.
The same thing happened for Kate.
When Emmett strutted towards me, broad shoulders, insane height and goofy grin all present, Rosalie cut him off by taking his hand and leading him outside to do who-knows-what. I know I didn't want to know.
When Alice danced and pranced in my direction, she actually got to me, opened her mouth to talk, until Jasper walked up behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist and gave her a peck on the cheek.
Thinking that wasn't enough to shut her up, he turned her face towards his and gave her a kiss full on the lips – in the middle of the car park.
PDA. I thought that wasn't allowed! Oh well, they can get away with anything.
I climbed into my truck and drove home, wanting a release from the weird.
I got home, did my homework and made dinner. Charlie got home, we ate in silence and I went up to bed.
I was just getting my things ready for a shower when I heard a little tap-tap noise on my window…and it wasn't raining…
A/N: Hello all!
I continued the story for you lot that like it (thanks by the way! xD). I am actually sick and off school so I'll be able to write some more today for both of my stories (jasper's powers-check it out, a few people like it!) so, if you're lucky, there might be another chapter up today! Hope you liked it - keep reading!
Love Alice xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
