If you were expecting me to jabber in my a.n. then you may as well go away. I am suffering from allergies. I'll let the little voice talk.
LVFN: Poor Alannacatt... Anyways, Alanna does not own any of the original twilight characters. She does however own Xandria and her family, including Jazmin. Her cowriter owns Elizabeth. Since I am just a voice, I can offer you no mysterious look into the chapter following. I can only provide the title:

"Damn you Edward. Damn damn damn damn DAMN! Now I can't F'ing sleep, and its all your fault!" I whispered angrily into my pillow. I looked over at my clock and groaned. It was 2:30 in the morning. I rolled off my bed and onto the floor with a thud, not even caring that now my back hurt. I heard the near silent padding of feet down the hall and only looked up when my door was opened. I smiled slightly when my mom poked her head inside my room.
"You okay baby? I heard a thud." She said, concerned. I shrugged. "What bugging you?" She sat down on my bed while I continued to lay on the floor. I shrugged again. "Is it that Edward fellow?" Another shrug. "I miss your father and Lana too." I could feel the tears stinging my eyes. My mom didn't need me to tell her what was wrong. She always knew. "Plus I really did not like that boy. But I wouldn't like any boy that tried to force my baby girl to do something. What happened to all the gentlemen? Men were so kind when I was growing up. Speaking of men, has that boy, what's his name? Oh yes, Mike. Has Mike asked Jazmin on a date yet?" I laughed. I was so much like my mother, right down to the rambling. I sat up and crawled onto the bed next to her.
"No he hasn't. Not yet." I told her. She sighed.
"That boy is too much of a wimp. Minny's not going to bite him or anything." She smiled at her own joke. Minny is Jazmin's nickname by the way. I laughed. Mike really could be a wimp sometimes. Somehow my mom and I ended up stretched out on my bed, asleep. Of course I didn't know this till I was woke up in the morning by Leah. Man it is wonderful to not have the early morning treatment every day from Nik.
"Xandria, wake up. You need to get ready for school." My sister whispered in my ear, shaking me gently. For once, I was actually wide awake. I snapped my eyes open and smiled at her. She smiled back, then left me to get ready. I went through my clothes quietly, picking out a soft blue sweater and a pair of jeans, then made a bee line for the bathroom to get dressed. After I finished, I ran my fingers through my hair, which now hung to my chin in soft curls. I smiled slightly. I absolutely loved my curls.
Making my way downstairs, Sissy fell into step with me. I stopped and kneeled down, allowing her to leap onto my shoulder, where she sat as I made my way towards the kitchen. There were no more donuts left this morning, so I had a bowl of Cocoa Pebbles, while my cat lay curled up sleeping in the chair next to me. When Leah appeared in the doorway, I kissed Sissy on the head then followed my sister out to the car. We chatted on the way to school about nothing really. When I stepped out of the car, I was disappointed by the lack of Jazmin's shriek of happiness. I sighed and made my way towards my first class. For some odd reason, I had a feeling today was not going to go so well.
Later...
I hummed as I made my way towards lunch, my arm linked with Jazmin's. I was mentally smacking myself. Why in the world would I think this day would go wrong? Jazmin had simply had a doctors appointment. Jazmin saw her friends and waved goodbye to me, then jogged to catch up with them. I had stopped at my locker and knelt down to open it when I heard his voice. "Hello Alexandria." He said. I let out a silent sigh and turned to face him, standing up as I did so. Unfortunately I still had to look up at him. I hate being short sometimes.
"Hello Edward. And it's Xandria." I said, locking my eyes onto his. He seemed startled momentarily, but it quickly went away. "How is your, um...how is Elizabeth?" Edward smirked at my confusion.
"She's fine. Annoying as ever, but she's fine." He replied, giving me his lopsided grin. I felt my heart speed up and my breath caught in my throat. He chuckled and I was finally able to break eye contact with him. This was getting really annoying. What the hell did he want? Why wouldn't he just leave me alone? It's not like I was going to tell anyone his secret. I just wanted to be left alone. Every time I saw him it was a reminder of Lana. "Would you like to sit with us again today Alexandria?" He asked, his expression curious. I shook my head.
"I don't think that is the best idea. And it's Xandria." I said, a sigh in my voice. Why couldn't he get that? At least he doesn't call me Alex. I turned around and kneeled back down to finish at my locker.
"Why ever not? I would love for you to sit with us...Alex." I froze, my jaw clenched. Now I know he's doing it on purpose.
I spun around and stood up quickly, jabbing my finger into his chest. "What the hell is your deal?" I yelled at him. "I have done nothing at all to you, and yet you will not leave me alone! If I've done anything at all, then tell me! Don't sit there and needle me! I won't put up with it! You know what your problem is? You think you are better than everyone else, therefore you believe you can say whatever you want and believe there won't be any retaliation! Well you picked the wrong girl to mess with!" I was aware that I was causing a scene, but I really didn't care. "And furthermore you are a jerk Edward Cullen." I finished, my voice dangerously quiet. It was at that moment that Jazmin decided to appear, linking her arm with mine.
"Leave my cousin alone. You are mean Edward Cullen. You should not pick on people, let along girls. Go mind your own business." Jazmin yelled at Edward. She then stuck her tongue out at him childishly. Then she sniffed and led me away from him. "Why was Xandria yelling at you, Edward?" I hear Elizabeth ask him before I entered the cafeteria with Jazmin, heading towards the table that she had been sitting at. I sat down beside her, smiling at Mike who sat across from me. I was introduced to the other people at the table. Lauren, Jessica, Angela, and some other people. I liked Angela, but not Lauren and Jessica. Lauren because she was a snob, Jessica because she liked Mike. The rest of the day passed without the incident. I got to Biology to find that Edward, much to my relief, had left already. I think this day is really turning around.
I was waiting at my sister's SUV when another Cullen approached me. This time it was Alice. I eyed her warily as she approached me, but relaxed when she gave me an apologetic smile. "I came on behalf of my family, mostly Edward, to apologize about last night and today. I just wanted you to know that not all of us are out to make your life miserable." She told me. I smiled at her and opened my arms for a hug, which she accepted. When we let go I gave her another smile.
"I understand. I don't hate you or your family. Just Edward." I told her with a bright smile. She chuckled then ran off to where her car was parked just as Leah approached me. She gave me a knowing grin when we were both inside and on our way home. I knew for a fact that I would not be in trouble over the scene I cause with Edward. Yes, I knew that for a fact. I can be so silly sometimes. I don't know why I thought today would turn out bad.
We pulled into the drive way and I hopped out. But to my surprise, my mom was waiting for me outside, a brilliant smile on her face. I walked up to her, an eyebrow raised. "Hi mom?" I asked, majorly confused.
"Oh I am so happy baby! I know you will be too! You will never guess who came down. And he's not here for a visit! He's staying down here!" My mom rambled excitedly. I hadn't seen her this happy since befor dad...It was too hard to even think the word. I froze for the second time today as I saw who walked out of the house, smiling. I felt a chill down my spine. Now I knew why I thought the day would end bad. He can't be here. He just can't. But he was.
"I've missed you so much Xandria." Tomas said loudly, pulling me close for a tight hug that was a little to tight. "You should never have tried to leave me," He whispered in my ear. "You can't escape your boyfriend." I gulped as he took my hand, squeezing till it hurt. "Say you're sorry."
"I'm sorry." I whimpered as quiet as possible. He kissed me on the forehead and released me. My family never suspected a thing. They never had. You see, I'd been going out with Tomas for two years, since I was fourteen. I thought I had finally escaped him, but apparently not. It seemed I couldn't escape anything from my life in Delmar. Not the memories. Not the vampires. Not even the werewolf. Yes. Tomas is a werewolf.

LVFN: Okay, that is where the chapter stops.
Me: I want to finish!
LVFN: Fine fine. Have it your way.
Me: Ahem. Now the chapter is finished. Sorry about it being so short, but I didn't have much to actually write for this chapter because it all had to happen in one day. I will try to have the next chapter up tomorrow, whether or not anybody reviews. But it might be up faster if you do review. So press the little blue, er, purple button and tell me what you think about this new twist in the story. I've been planning this chapter the whole time. You will find out more about Tomas later, but for now, g'night.
REVIEW!!
