Chapter Seven: Invitations
~School - Lunch~ Wednesday
EJ's PoV
"Were going to La Push this weekend you want to come, EJ?" Andy asked me as we waited in line.
"That's cool, I know a few people there," I said.
"'Kay then, were meeting at my dad's shop at eight."
~Biology~
I walked into Biology a few minutes early, lunch had mostly consisted of everyone talking about the beach trip.
Maddi sat down next to me looking tired.
"How did they take it?" I asked.
"My father didn't take it well, but everyone else were mostly…" she trialed off.
"Shocked?" I asked.
"Yes, which consider to how my dad acted is better," she said, tiredly.
"How bad?" I asked, curious.
"He wanted to tamper with your memory, with the help of my uncles," she said, her face reddening.
"I think I would be able to take Jasper and Emmett," I said, a small smile gracing my lips.
"You sure about that?" she asked, a bit frightened.
I chuckled, "I can tell that their not as bad as they look."
"You have no idea about their past," she said.
"Jasper was in the vampire wars in the south and Emmett was saved by Rosalie," I said, easily remembering the stories.
"How do you know?" she asked surprised.
"Friends," I said.
"Oh," she said.
"Do you want to go to the beach?" I asked.
"The beach?" she said, confused.
"Yeah, a bunch of us are going down this weekend. You can come, as my guest," I said.
"Which one?"
"La Push."
"I'll ask," she said, with a small smile.
~Home - Living Room~
Maddi's PoV
"Maddi?" asked Aunt Alice, confused from where she sat on the floor.
"What?" I asked, as I turned the page of my book.
"Do you have your shield up?" she asked.
Everyone turned to look at me, all of them taking their eyes off of their homework to just look at me.
I blushed, "no, not right now, that is."
"Then why did everything disappear? Or actually just you?" she asked.
"I don't know," I said, looking back down at my book.
"What do you want to ask?" asked Uncle Jasper.
"Could I go to the beach…with some other people?" I asked.
"Which one?" asked Aunt Rosalie.
"La Push," I remembered.
"Maddi were not allowed there," said dad.
"EJ's going," I mumbled.
"He doesn't seem like a good influence," said Uncle Emmett.
This just made me angry, my hands clenched and my shield pulled over myself. "And you really think that your great influence, Uncle Emmett?" I asked as I stood up and ran to my room, taking all of my things with me.
