Ho-kay, so im writing this before anyone reviews the first part(Hopefully), seeming that their supposed to be together.
so i hope you enjoy this second part!
Ask and you shall recieve, said the blind man... i dont think i have that right.... but anywho;
la tua cantante1993; you asked to see more of the whole LaurelxBrycedon love affair. and i think ill start to get into it this chapter.
Not possitive, but i will tryy!
(See? I do listen to my reviewers!)
:D
(This chapter was inspired by the song that i actually had as a clip in the last chapter, "Be Yourslef" by Audioslave. It made me think about how the Vamps want to be themselves, but how they cant because it will expose and essentially destroy them. So yesss.)
Chapter 7, Part 2:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I feel as if I'm running
Back to where I started
You ask what's wrong with me
And I say nothing
Is everything ok?
Is something wrong with me?
Pushing and pulling feelings eternal
My heart is yours
Never Enough -- Papa Roach

POV Laurel

We had the music blaring, all of us singing along. Even Jasper was happy, probably because we were all so light-hearted, no irony intended.

Everyone's voices quieted when a song none had heard before came on my newly burned CD. But I loved it, so I kept singing.

I'm not your Boyfriend, Baby!
I aint your cute little sex toy.
I'm not your lion tiger.
Wont be your nasty little boy.

They all looked at me confused.

"3OH!3?" I asked puzzled, but they all shook their heads. I laughed and turned the music even louder. We pulled into the school parking lot, we had gotten here way before Rosalie's BMW, and I found two open spots right next to each other. I parked and opened my door to let the others out. I stood at my door still singing, even after the stereo had been turned off with the car.

(Kill the lights)
These Children learn from cigarette burns
fast cars,
fast women,
and cheap drinks.
(It feels right)
All these asphyxiated
self medicated
Take the White pill,
You'll feel al--

I stopped dead when I saw him. He stood over by a big white truck with his brother. He was looking our direction but turned away when he realized I was looking at him too.

"Something wrong, Laurel?" Jasper asked. He must have felt my sudden change in emotion.

"No. Everything's perfect!" I beamed, and he looked at me confused. "Perfect lighting! It's overcast, but not dark and rainy. And it was a pretty good morning, considering Emmett's ferocious attitude, and I found the perfect outfit for a Monday morning." I gestured toward my clothing choice, "So yes, it is a perfect morning. Besides, Emmett's probably already forgotten our little tiff this morning."

"Yes. And you will end up singing that song later, and Rose will hate you. So remember that when you need to get on her nerves!" Alice chided, lithely dancing her way to Jaspers side.

Just then Rosalie rounded the corner and pulled into the spot next to my car.

"Holy crap, Laurel!" Emmett boomed as he jumped from the car and stood next to me. "Did you see that big ass bear off the highway?!" He was beaming. Obviously Alice and I were right.

"No, I didn't get a chance. I was singing the greatest song ever!"

"And that is...?"

"I'm Not Your Boyfriend, Baby. By--"

"3OH!3." He finished.

"YES!" We gushed at how awesome the song was, and we started singing it together.

Edward rolled his eyes and looped an arm around Bella's waist and put his other hand on the small of Renesmee's back.

POV Brycedon

I watched as Laurel and the others got out of a different car than they had last week. I vowed I would talk to Nesmee about her family today. I was extremely curious as to who they all were, and everything about them.

"Earth to Brycedon." Brandon was waving his hand in front of my face, theatrically.

"Mmm?" I asked, was there something I missed?

"Geez. You're out of it today, aren't you Bro?"

I nodded, "Nothing like a set of stitches for your first Monday back. Their all gonna think I'm some sort of dare devil, or something."

"Nah. I'll let them all know that it was the potholes doing!"

I elbowed him in the ribs. "Yeah. Exactly what I need." I sighed, "Come on. We need to get to first hour on time today.

And with a backward glance at the beautiful car and the even more beautiful girl standing next to it, Brandon and I made our way to the torture, that was first hour gym.

After we ran around the track -and by we, I mean Brandon- we split up for my math class and he went to physics. That was the one thing that Brandon was better than me at; math.

He had Trig, and I was in normal Algebra 2. And he never let me forget it.

I walked from Algebra an hour later feeling like my mind had turned to mush. A few hours later I was walking to lunch. I wanted to punch the next person that stared at me. Until I realized who that would be.

I walked past the English building and toward the cafeteria. There, walking beside me, was Nesmee. I didn't even realize she was there till she started talking to me.

"So, how's your day been so far?" She asked shyly.

"All right… I guess. Kind of boring." I sighed. "People need to stop staring at me. It's starting to get really irritating."

She beamed at me. "I think it has something to do with your face." I looked at her in confusion and she tapped her forehead. "Your stitches?"

"Oh. Right. Yeah." Was all I could manage.

"I'm gonna go eat with my family. But you should stop by in study hall. I want you to meet them!"

"Would that be all right? I mean, you all seem very kept to yourselves…" I trailed off, we were in the Cafeteria now, and I could see her family all sitting at their crowded table.

"Yeah. Well, at least I think it is. How bout I talk to them, and I'll let you know what they say in physics. Alright?" She beamed, her teeth gleaming in the fluorescent lighting.

"Yeah. Okay. That would be great. I'll see you later then?"

"Yep. See you."

I walked to the table and sat down. I pulled out my money and waited for Brandon to show up.

I glanced up and saw several people closing in on me.

"Hi! I'm Patricia Stanley. But you can call me Patty!" One of the girls said. Wow, they didn't waste any time, did they? She had long black hair that had a small wave as it cascaded down her back, and a light dusting of freckles across her nose. She offered me her hand, and I shook it lightly.

"Uhh, Hi… I'm Brycedon."

"Nice to meet you Brycedon. This is Brenda and Angelica." She indicated two girls that were standing next to her.

"Brenda Mallory." She stuck out her hand in expectation. I took it and shook it lightly as well. She had a golden tone to her corn-silk hair and her nose was a bit bent; like she had gotten into a fight a few years back or something.

"Angelica Cheney." She only waved, probably sensing my discomfort. I might be able to get along with this one. The other two seemed a bit out spoken.

"I see you were talking to Rennyezmuh. Or whatever her name is." Patty said sitting down across from me.

"Ruh-nez-may." I was shocked that I remembered that.

"Whatever. The whole family is a bunch of freaks." She scoffed.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, their all together. And I mean "Together"." She used air quotes. "There's Renmay, then her older, and totally gorgeous, brother Edward. He's the bronze haired God." She said this with relish. "And he's with Bella. She's the one he has his arm around." Patty said Bella's name with nothing short of disgust. "Then there's Jasper, the one that looks like he's in some sort of pain. And he's with Alice. The black haired girl. She really is a freak. Then there's Emmett, the really big one, and he's with Rosalie, the beautiful blond." She said this with the sound of envy thick in her voice. "And I think Emmett's got this whole love affair triangle thing going on, because he obviously flirts with the other girl. Laurel is her name. She's also a freak. Really annoying. Sings a lot. Songs no ones ever heard. It gets really irritating.

"Anyway. Their also all together, like... They were all related before they were adopted, or something. Rosalie and Jasper are twins. Alice and Laurel are sisters. And then Edward is like ten months older than that Rezmah, or something."

"It's Renesmee." I corrected her again.

"What ever." She rolled her eyes. "Anyway. Their all weirdo's. Like none of them eat except those two." She indicated Laurel and Nesmee. "I think the others are like anorexic or something." The way she was talking was irritating the hell out of me. 'Like' and 'or something' every two seconds, it's like putting a power drill to your head. It was unintellegent babble.

Brandon decided to grace us with his presence at last.

"Hey Bro. See you've attracted the Ladies." he sat down with two trays of food. He slid one towards me, and smiled up at Brenda. He picked up a packet that read "sugar" and handed it to her, "Excuse me, but I think you've dropped your name tag."

She blushed and took the packet without a word to Brandon; He smiled, but looked dissappointed that his best pickup line was wasted on a mute.

"What's going on?" He asked turning toward me.

"I was just thinking that I'm not that hungry. But thanks a lot for grabbing me some food." I handed him a five dollar bill. Dispite what I said I took a small bite of the pizza he got me.

"That's all right, I'll eat whatever you don't. I think I'm gonna bulk up and try out for the wrestling team." He grinned at me.

"Awesome. You know what? I think I'm gonna head out and sit in the truck the rest of the hour. I don't feel so hot." I patted his shoulder and stood up. "Ladies." I bowed my head at them and headed for the doors.

Nesmee stopped me halfway through the cafeteria. "Hey Brycedon!" She ran to catch up with me. "Hey. Where are you going?"

"Uhh. No where. What's up?" I saw Patricia's eyes get too big for her face as she took in the fact that me and Nesmee were talking like best friends.

"I wanted to introduce you to my family." She gestured towards the table.

"Uhhmmm, alright."

"Sweet!" she grabbed me by the wrist and directed me towards the table. She had a warm grasp, and a very tight one, at that. "Oh, Edward!" She sang.

The bronze haired boy looked up and smiled. "Yes, Renesmee?"

"This is Brycedon." She beamed. They all started to introduce themselves.

"Hello Brycedon!" Laurel shook my hand, and her skin contrasted Nesmee's considerably; it was ice cold. "I'm Laurel, A mysterious creature of myth and lore."

"Laurel. What are you saying?" Edward interupted her; but there seemed to be something more than just concern for her mental health under his question.

"Just telling him the truth Eddy. You've always said that honesty is the best policy!"

Renesmee just touched his cheek and he left Laurel alone after that. Apparently content with whatever had happened.

"Um, please don't be offended," Alice started, "But Jazz and I have to go now." And she took Jaspers hand and lead him out of the cafeteria. Edward and Laurel nodded, they seemed to understand something more than I did.

"Oh, Brycedon! You should come over sometime!" Renesmee had sat me down where the one called Jasper sat a few minutes before; the seat was extremely cold. "I think Esme would love you!"

"Err, sorry. Esme?"

"Our mother." She gestured to the table. Bella glared at her.

"Oh... All right... I guess that would be cool. If it's cool with you guys of course!" I added quickly.

"That's a gre--" Edward cut Laurel off.

"I'm not sure, Nesmee. That may not be the greatest idea right now."

"Awh, but D- Edward." I was confused, was she just about to call him Dad? No, surely my ears were decieving me again.

"Well... I should probably go. I need to get to my locker before Physics." I stood up to leave.

"Bye Brycedon. See you next hour!" Nesmee smiled at me, but then turned her attention back to her family and became suddenly stern. They all seemed to start talking at once. Too quiet for my ears to pickup, and too fast, even if I could. I just went to my truck and chilled for the last ten minutes of the lunch hour.

POV Laurel

We were all walking to my car after seventh hour and were waiting for Renesmee to get out of class. Brycedon half avoided us after our encounter at lunch. He seemed very shy, and kept to himself.

I watched his mind when he was sitting across the room from us, and he seemed to have one of the purest minds I had ever seen. Traumatized, sure. He's been through a lot for a seventeen year-old; that much was true. But he thought of everyone as equals. And he didn't feel the need to stare at girls like they were a prize that he would have to get for trophy room. No. He was a decent mind. A decent soul.

Someone falls to pieces
Sleepin all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
To finally drift away
Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard
Catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave

To be yourself is all that you can do

"Yeah... But what if being myself will only cause more pain than it's worth?"

It's all that you can do.
