Adventures of Alex Swan Ch.7

Cherry: Hello!

Aaron: *mumbles* Hi.

Cherry: Okay here is the next chapter! I don't own Twilight.

The floor vibrated. Alice had taken us to this club. It was new and wasn't far from home. The name of it was Blue Fin. It had a weird, grungy, beachy theme that was actually appealing. The myriad of dancing, drunk teens agreed with me.

I spun into Alice. My skirt fluttered. "Hey!"

Alice grinned and looped her arms around the small of my back. I placed an arm around her neck. "Switch!" Before I could blink, B.B. was in front of me.

"Hey Bl─Rosalie!"

"Hi." She wrapped her arms around my waist and began to dance. Her blonde hair moved as she swayed and jumped to Katy Perry. I realized something wasn't right. Rosalie scowled at me. I yelped as I was jerked forward.

"Dance with me dumbass."

"Oh right." I blushed then shook my hair before dancing.

I danced through the crowd in an effort to reach the bar. There were four bartenders. One had a pop punk waiter look. I stood in front of him.

"Hey, what can I get you?"

"Hm, can I get a Ja─" I stopped and stared at a poster behind the cute guy's head. It showed a cloud shaped glass filled with a rainbow colored liquid topped by what could only be described as sparkly sprinkles.

"I want it."

"Huh?"

"The rainbow drink behind you."

The guy turned then faced me again. "Are you sure? It's kind of intense."

I nodded.

"Okay."

Okay. With incredible speed he made an exact copy of the poster drink. Nice to be at a place that didn't false advertise. I grinned. "Thanks!" I took a sip.

I coughed and looked around. I was outside. OUTSIDE?!

"Alice! Rosalie! Alice!"

I was in an alley. I sighed. Maybe I could find a gas station or a diner. I flinched at ping sort of sound. Like glass hitting the pavement. I turned and saw two dark figures walking towards.

Turning back I walked faster and made it out the alley and turned right. Two more shadows appeared. I backed up only feel an unfamiliar chest.

"Hey, check out the doll!"

I grimaced as the smell of beer wafted from him.

There were five guys now.

A bleach blonde squinted at me. "She doesn't have much of a chest."

I gasped as the drunk behind me grabbed my waist. "Don't touch me!" I squirmed out of his grip. All five were in front of me now. "Oh, fuck, it's a drag!"

I scowled. Sweet relief flooded through me maybe they'll leave me alone. The dark smirks scared that dream out of me.

Suddenly a silver Volvo, sped out of nowhere nearly hitting one of the idiots.

Edward popped out looking absolutely lethal. "Get in."

I scrambled to the door as Butter Eyes snarled murderously at the jackasses. I closed the door and turned to Edward slaming onto the gas pedal. We sped off.

"Are you okay?" His voice was icy.

I swallowed. "Yeah, I'm fine."

It was silent for about two seconds before Edward huffed. "CCan you say something? Anything! Something to distract me from going back there and killing those men for what they were about to do!"

"Um, can we get dinner?"

Edward chuckled lightly. "You're hungry."

"Yeah."

"There's a diner not too far from here."

"Okay cool."

We pulled up in front of a old timey diner. Through the window I could see waitresses skating and a juke box. Five bucks it was playing an Elvis song or something from Grease.

I realized that Edward was my hero tonight. An idea popped into my head. What are most fantastical heroes rewarded with?

Edward looked at me and smiled. I leaned forward and jolted slightly at the cool touch of his lips. It was sweet not as passionate as our previous ones. When I pulled back, his eyes were gleaming pools of butter.

"Alright, let's go!"

We entered the diner, it was called Frenchy's. A redheaded waitress guided us to a booth.

"Hi, I'm Cherry! What would you like today?"

"A hamburger and fries. Do you have strawberry soda?"

Cherry gaped at me. Edward busted out laughing. I blushed then scowled. "What?"

The waitress smiled with a sparkling gleam in her eyes. "I didn't know you were ahem male. Yes we do have strawberry soda. What would you like sir?"

"Nothing for me thanks." He flashed her a crooked smile. Cherry blushed.

"Okay, I'll be right back with your drinks."

I started playing with my skirt. Edward glared at me. "Talk."

"The hell?"

"Say something."

Okay. "What time is it?"

"That's a question."

I rolled my eyes. Really. "Just be glad I'm talking."

"1:13 a.m."

"Aw shit! I'm dead. Charlie is going to kill me."

"Relax, I'm sure he'll understand."

Before I could retort, Cherry skated back with the drink then skated away after placing it on the table.

"How were you able to find me?" I took a sip of strawberry soda. Fanta.

"Can you call it hunch?"

"No."

"Randomly driving through town and spotting you?"

"No."

"GPS?"

"Huh?"

"Faith."

"What?"

"Where's waldo?"

"Edward!"

"Alex!"

I hadn't realized we were leaning towards each other. Edward's eyes darkened. I stared at his perfect lips leaned─

"Here's your,oh sorry!"

We turned and saw Cherry holding my dinner.

"Thanks!"

As I ate, Edward explained himself. "I can read minds."

I nearly choked on a fry.

"I was following you, Alice, and Rose, I'm going to kill them by the way, when I lost you at the club. I started driving around the area and then I heard,saw, what those men thinking and I went crazy."

I frowned in thought. "So you can read my mind."

"No, I can't read yours or Bella's."

"Does she know about this…gift?"

"Yes."

Oh. Wait my mind is protected. YES! "Anything else I need to know?"

He stared at me. "Yes. I'll tell you tomorrow."

I beamed. "Great!"

Edward grinned. "Eat your fries"

Edward pulled into my driveway. I groaned. "What time is it now?"

"2:47 a.m."

"I'm dead."

We got out of the Volvo. I sighed and was about to walk to the house. Edward yanked me back into arms. I blinked as I was spun around. We were now face to face. His hands gripped my waist as mine gripped his hair. The kiss wasn't that long but it was amazing!

Edward grinned and waved good bye.

I stepped inside and flinched when I saw Charlie. Oh boy!

Cherry: Yes over 1000 words!

Aaron: Here's a juicy drop pop.

Cherry: Thanks!

Aaron: Review please!
