Chapter 7: Oh Shit.
Melody's POV
"Ugh! Does this driveway ever end, Dr. Cullen?" I complained, tired from the morphine that wore off. I seemed to have been leaning on Jasper's shoulder, I sat up, my head heavy.
"Yes, Melody. And please, call me Carlisle."
"Okay..." I said, laughing tiredly. "You wanna know something? You're pretty good lookin' for a Dad."
Jasper laughed out loud.
"Ha!" I snorted. "I just hit on your Dad." I giggled, throwing my head back.
Carlisle laughed too. "Well, thank you Melody. That's very sweet of you."
I smiled, and my mouth popped open when their house came into view.
It was the most amazing house ever, and it looked like it belonged in Hollywood. The front door sat up above the ground and had steps leading up to it. The garden kind of had an Edward Scissorhands feel, some of the bushes were shaped. From the side I could see that there was a pool out back.
"How many stories is this house?" I asked.
"Um... about 5." Jasper said as we pulled into the garage. My mouth dropped again when I saw all their cars. Carlisle defiantly was a well paid dude.
"Jasper, you're gonna have to carry me. That morphine turned my ass to Jell-O." I said, reaching my hands out of the door. He chuckled and lifted me into his arms quickly, he was stronger than Jordan. I didn't think anyone was. And he was ice-cold. But maybe that was just the morphine giving me cold chills. I rested my head into his shoulder.
"Tired, huh?" He asked.
"You take some Morphine. That'll give you some answers." I laughed. When I closed my eyes I felt a whoosh of wind, and we were at the front door.
"How did we get here so fast?" I asked.
"Did you fall asleep again?" Jasper asked, I knew something was up, but I let it go. I was too tired for arguing.
"So, the plan worked?" Ham asked.
"No, we totally failed." Jasper said sarcastically putting me on a couch.
"Ham? Whaeryoudoinheeere...?" I slurred, very tired.
"I was helping, but now I gotta get home." Ham rustled my hair. "Get well soon." He joked.
"Oh yeah, the disease thing. I kinda forgot." I started giggling again.
"Oh, Crayon. What would I do without you? Good luck with this one Carlisle. She's a fucking- I mean freaking piece of work." He corrected himself.
"Hey! I resent that." I said with a lame looking glare on my face. I was such a wimp when I was tired.
"Okay, I might not see you for a while, but I promise I'll call."
"Byeeeee Hammmmm!" I sang, and he laughed as he went out the front door. "Now. Who the hell is that guy with the gay hair? You know. That one!" I pointed to a guy across the room with reddish brown hair.
"That's Edward, Melody." Jasper said, and leaned down to whisper in my ear "And yes, he does have gay hair." He said, and mid-whisper he let out a little chuckle. "And the woman with the long blonde hair is Rosalie, I'm sure you'll like her, and that's Emmett, I'm sure you'll get along with him, he's a lot like Jordan. That is Bella with the long brown hair, and that is Renesmee, um, Edward's little sister. Biological sister, I mean."
I yawned. "Rosalie is really pretty." I closed my eyes. I finally went to sleep, and when I woke
up Jasper was sitting in a chair next to the couch reading a Civil War book.
"Hey Jasper, how long was I out?"
He looked at his phone and said"3 hours and 4 minutes, why? And how do you feel?"
"I feel fine, less tired, HYPERRRR!" I laughed "Oh shit, I forgot its probably like 3 in the morning or something... Wait, why are you still up? Shouldn't you be asleep?" I asked, in the mood to ask questions, then I remember the question he kind of avoided earlier..."Wait a second, how did we get to the door so fast earlier, and don't use the bullshit excuse I was asleep, because I wasn't. I was fully awake and heard the wind whirl by. What the fuck?" I said a little bit angry, since I was lied to. Which I hate, by the way.
"I- I." He stuttered, then Carlisle came down stairs, and Jasper looked at him for approval. Carlisle nodded, then Jasper turned back to me.
"If I tell you, you can't think I'm crazy or anything else. And if you won't believe it, I'll show you." He looked at me, as if pleading for me to understand and believe him. I nodded so he knew to go on.
"Melody... I'm a vampire." He said.
"So are you gonna eat me or what?" I said sarcastically. Then I just burst out laughing, and ended up falling off the couch onto my ass. Then I looked at his completely straight face and I realized he was serious.
"Oh my god... you're serious? There is no su-" And then before I finished 'such' he was right in right in front of me.
"Holy shit... you're telling the truth? So, what, you can like, fly?" He looked at me for a second, and he was on the floor beside me laughing harder than I ever heard him laugh before.
"No, Melody, we can't fly." He said with a grin still on his face. He let out another loud chuckle and rubbed his eye.
"Well... now I feel embarrassed. Huh. So tell me what all you can do. Please?"
"Well, first off, we cant sleep. That's why I was awake when you woke up. We have exceptional hearing, so we can hear everything you say..." It took the rest of the night for him to explain everything to me about being a vampire. He told me that he, Renesmee, Bella and Edward had special gifts too. Edward read minds? That made me hate him even more than his gay ass hair. I glared at Edward and told him to stay the fuck out of my mind. He also mentioned that Renesmee was actually Edward and Bella's daughter, she just had faster growth than normal humans. I felt bad that Renesmee had Edward for a dad.
After he was done, everyone was in the living room, including Carlisle and Esme. They waited for my reaction, and I pondered what I would say for a moment. My eyes lit up and a smile crept onto my face.
"Holy shit! That's awesome!" I laughed, falling on my back again.
They all looked at me like I was absolutely crazy.
"What?... It is?" Jasper cocked his head to one side. Maybe 5 seconds went by and they all laughed at me. Well, my reaction at least.
"Wait a minute... Vampires are immortal, aren't they?" I pouted, realizing that I would age.
"Well, that's another matter that I would like to discuss with you... In private." Jasper looked at his family. They all respected his 'wishes' and left. "Okay..." He began, "This is hard for me to say... But... I'm kind of in love with you- I think you already knew that, right?" He said.
"Yeah, I figured that." I smiled. "I was pretty sure when you admitted your deepest darkest secret to me, we were more than friends." I laughed kind of nervously.
He breathed a sigh of relief. I rolled my eyes. As if I would reject him.
"Now Melody, this is completely your decision, and I do want you to wait for a while, but... I could change you. You know, into a vampire." He looked up through his eyelashes.
I pursed my lips in thought. I nodded.
"Now, listen, if you don't want to do this, you don't have to. I'm not going to force you into anything, and I know that you have Erika and Jor-"
"Jasper," I cut him off. "did you not see me pouting when I realized you were immortal and I wasn't? I want to do this. But I do want to wait. Just like you said. How about one year, a little after graduation."
"Well. I didn't think it was going to be that easy." He laughed.
"Yeah, but you have to do me one solid besides changing me. This may sound stupid, and random, but if I talk in my sleep- Do. Not. Make. Fun. Of. Me." I warned him, "I remember the the fierce titty twister I gave Jordan a couple weeks ago for doing that. It might even work on a Vampire."
Jasper laughed, and thanked me for the warning. Jasper turned on the T.V and I sat beside him, he was flipping through the the channels and I demanded he turn on tosh.O. Apparently, he had never seen it, and didn't know what a hilarious douche rocket Tosh is, and didn't expect it when two monkeys got it on on a car hood. He sat there with his mouth open, not knowing what to do. I was sitting there, cackling my ass off, whether about monkey sex or Jasper's reaction to monkey sex, I would never know. Emmett came down while monkey sex was still on and yelled:
"OH MY GOD! ROSE! COME HERE! WE SHOULD TRY THIS!" And that only made me laugh even harder. I swear to god I almost pissed myself when he yelled that.
When Jasper finally got me calmed down (I was no match for his mood control thing) I felt tired again, and finally went to sleep.
2 weeks later:
Jordan knew about the lie too, and visited me more often than mom and Rika, because they had no idea. He hadn't visited in a while though. Caleb must've been acting strange, so Jordan must've taking extra precautions.
I had finally convinced all the Cullen's to leave the house. Jasper felt a little uncomfortable leaving me, but I pushed him out the door.
"Jasper, you won't be able to graduate if you skip anymore school." I knew that wasn't true. He'd told me about the graduation cap art on the wall. I knew he was one of the smartest people alive, I just needed an excuse.
I was excited I was finally alone. I watched T.V for hours, and around noonish Esme came home and brought me Mcdonalds for lunch. I thanked her and she left shortly after. I ate my chicken nuggets. Then I went and grabbed my iPod touch from Jasper's room and came back downstairs.
I plugged it into the stereo and started dancing around and totally pigging out on my french fries when Low by Flo Rida came on. I heard a window smash open, and I turned around. I gasped and dropped my french fries on the floor.
Oh shit! I thought.
Caleb was standing by the broken window and he looked pissed. I was in deep shit now.
He grabbed my arm and threw me on the ground and screamed at me.
"What the fuck Melody? It wasn't a very smart move to go against me and lie to me like that. Now now, who should I deal with first. Little sister Erika, or Mommy Dearest?" He growled.
I racked my brain, I remembered that Rose had taught me self defense earlier that week. Groin, Nose, feet, Knees. I struggled to get up as quickly as I possibly could and kneed him in groin and slammed my heel into his foot as hard as I could.
He groaned, and nearly fell to the ground, but as I tried to get the phone to call Jasper, but he grabbed me by my leg and I fell flat on my face. I screamed in pain. Bastard gave me a fat lip. As he tried to grab a hold of me and I kicked him in the knee.
"Stop. Doing. That!" he said through his teeth, "I only want to talk to you." he lied innocently.
"Liar! Get the hell away from me!" I screamed. He got up off of the floor and charged towards me, and I managed to get to the kitchen. I couldn't find any sharp knives, so, bashed him in the face with a pot. He screamed in pain again. I was only making him angrier. I managed to fight him off for about 20 minutes when I heard a crash. I ran out into the living room, Caleb hard on my heels. Jasper had broken the door open that Caleb had locked. Before Caleb could even think of how Jasper had gotten in, Jasper ran at his vampire speed and had Caleb by the collar of his shirt in 2 seconds. Caleb squirmed and tried to get down. Jasper said nothing, and his eyes were completely black. I had to do something. He was going to kill Caleb, and I couldn't watch that.
"Jasper, p-put Caleb down! I think he's learned his lesson! Please, please don't make me watch this, just let him go!' I begged.
"Then go into the other room, Melody." Jasper said calmly, his furious eyes on Caleb. In a flash Emmett grabbed Caleb out of Jasper's grip, and Edward and Carlisle held Jasper back. Rosalie rushed over to me to make sure I was okay, and put her arm around my shoulder and rubbed my arm, trying to calm me down. I started to hyperventilate.
"NO!" Jasper screamed, "Let me go, NOW! I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch!" Jasper struggled to get out of their grip.
Caleb struggled to catch his breath. Emmett grabbed his face tightly. "I recommend you get lost, fuckface. Don't come back for her, don't tell anyone what you saw here, and do not go near her family. Got it?" He growled, his teeth clenched. Jasper hissed, angry he was letting him go. Caleb jumped and looked at Jasper.
"Jasper, This is what I need you to do." Carlisle said in a soothing voice. "You need to look at Melody, look at her. She's terrified. She needs you. Calm down... you know this is over. You know. Take Melody in the other room, okay?" Jasper relaxed his shoulders and Edward and Carlisle released him from their grip. Emmett threw Caleb out and Jasper took me up to his room to try and calm me down.
"Why? Why, why why why why why?" I couldn't stop saying why. I sounded like a broken record. "Why did I make you leave?"
"Melody, It is NOT your fault." Jasper said.
I sighed, and flopped on the bed. "You're right, you're right."
"Melody? What happened to your hand? It's not supposed to bend that way- oh- oh my god!" He covered his nose and mouth. I looked at my hand screamed. We must have all been to upset to notice my Hand was bleeding and hanging where it shouldn't have been. Jasper screamed for Carlisle.
When Carlisle saw it he was completely calm, and took me to the room with all the his medical supplies. I started crying.
"Did Caleb do that?" I asked, shocked.
"Yes," Carlisle said. "He grabbed you too hard, dislocated your hand from your arm, and it appears you slammed your hand into his nose, and it snapped." he told me.
Carlisle took my hand in his, and snapped it back into place. More blood gushed out, and I felt faint. Great. I was bleeding buckets of blood in a house full of vampires. When my hand was in place, he disinfected it, and put a cast on it.
"The tear in your skin will heal in a few weeks." Carlisle said.
"How can you be so calm about all this blood everywhere?" I asked, my voice sounding just as faint as I was.
"Years of practice, darling. I've been around for a while. I'll have to tell you my story sometime." He smiled.
"Sounds good," I tried to smile. I started shaking.
"You're going into shock. Jasper?" He called for him. "Take Melody to your room. I'll find something that will calm her down."
Jasper nodded, and picked me up carefully.
He managed to get me under the blankets without putting me down.
"Don't worry anymore Melody, it's over." Jasper reassured me, and used a wet wash cloth to cool me off.
"This must be hard for you... You can feel what I'm feeling... Its probably upsetting you- I'm so sorry." I frowned.
"Stop worrying about me, and calm down" Jasper laughed humorlessly. "It's okay." Carlisle came in and gave me some aspirin- I wondered how he knew that always calmed me down... Mom. Defiantly Mom.
I took the pills, and Jasper's words echoed in my head. 'It's okay'.
He was right. I closed my eyes and shrunk back into the pillows.
A.N: Okay, so we just got done laughing our asses off. I (Rachel) stupidly tried to drink water whilst laughing, well it was more like cackling, and I lost my grip on the liquid in my mouth, and long story short, it was all over the floor and we were laughing even harder and Miki ended up on the floor from it. Don't ask why we were in the first place though- even longer story. But anyways, Melody is with Jasper, and Caleb got his ass handed to him- but it's not the end. Some other stuff will happen with him, but that's all we can say xD Hope you enjoyed our longest chapter yet, and we'll give you a doggie treat if you review!
