Hey, Hey, Al's okay
Ok, that was a dumb rhyme.
Disclaimer:
Alec: *awkwardly waves* Um, I have no idea where Al is sooo… Um, without her this isn't a disclaimer.
Al: *screams from the other side of her bedroom door* YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CALL ME AL! ONLY FRIENDS CALL ME AL!
Alec: *pouts* Fine, Alexandra. Be that way. But will you forgive me?
Al: *once again shouts from her room* ONLY IF YOU DON'T MAKE ME SAY IT!
Alec: *whines* Oh, come on. You know that I can't let you do that!
Al: WELL, TOO BAD! YOU'RE UNFORGIVEN!
Alec: *sighs* Alright, let's change the name from disclaimer to-
Al: *runs out of room and hugs Alec* YAY! I'm sooo happy that I can scream 'I DON'T OWN TWILIGHT'! *pauses* … *widens eyes*
Alec: *pulls away from Al to stare at her* HA! You said it!
Al: *pouts* No fair.

Chapter 8- Big Overprotective Brother (Cousin)
BPOV (5 Months Later)
It has been 5 months since I've been in Volterra and it's been great. Days after I was named Marcus' daughter, my real dad, Charlie, called me and asked how everything happened and if I was okay. To him and everyone else we were in a car accident while we were in the 'tour' bus and I was the only person (besides Heidi of course) who survived.
Apparently he knew about Renee's death a little late. 3 days late. If it wasn't for the Volturi I would have been in the street waiting for Charlie to find me or something like that. He had asked where I was so he could pick me up but I had refused. I had passed the phone to Chelsea –since I can't lie- and she told Charlie that she was a 'teacher' from a boarding school here in Italy and that she would be honored to take me in her 'class' since I seemed like an intelligent girl. Of course, Charlie accepted and he even sent me money to pay the 'boarding school'. When I got it Chelsea just shook her head and said "Trust me, you won't need it" so I just sighed and put it in one of my locked drawers, not that a simple lock could stop vampires from opening it.
But at least it gave the message for them to not look in.
Marcus, being a father, refused for me to stop my studies in which that this is a boarding school in a way. But not only do I have normal classes, but extras as well.
Defense and Attack.
Teachers: Felix and Demetri.
(Not only karate, tae kwon do and judo, but even how to 'cat fight' as Felix puts it.)
Heels and 'Fashion'.
Teachers: Heidi and Chelsea.
(I swear I've almost killed myself various times in this one.)
Sports and Gymnastics.
Teachers: Felix, Demetri and even Chelsea and Heidi.
(They have told me that this one urgent since I need balance because I walking in heels isn't enough.)
Italian.
Teachers: Aro and Marcus.
(Uncle Caius is too 'busy' to teach me. I say that he just doesn't have enough patience.)
I have these classes every day, half an hour each. It gets irritating after a while. It's pretty obvious that I'm not getting coordinative any time soon. I'm just lucky that the twins have nothing to do with my classes. They extremely dislike me.
I have become everyone's family member or a least friend but Jane and Alec's. They completely ignore me. Well, except for the glares.
I've tried to talk to them a couple of times. You know, like with a simple 'Hello' or even a 'How are you' but they only leave the room, like if I'm not even there. Also, every time Felix talks to me and Jane is present, she tries to use her gift on me, full power. Marcus just tells me to ignore her but I'm sure he's hiding something. I just need to find out what.
*In the Mean Time*
I started unpacking my stuff from my luggage. I sighed in relief. Finally! I'm back at the castle, in a place where Heidi and Chels won't be able to drag me around like a doll, or as a minimum not greatly. (A/N did you understand that? Cause I barely did. :/ …)
I've been gone from here for a total of 7 days because Chelsea and Heidi took me in a tour around Volterra. Even though I told them that Heidi already did it, but they said that I wasn't shown the 'right way.' Their words, not mine. The tour was taken to malls, vampire legend museums (I was cracking up here with Heidi and Chelsea. The people stared at us as if we were crazy) and other places which Heidi didn't take me in the tour last time. I slept at least in 5 hotels during the night.
I took out my IPod from my front left pocket and put it on my dresser next to the door. I walked back to the luggage that was sitting on my bed and kept on unpacking when I heard a door slamming open, a
"BELLS!" and a crack. I sighed, knowing that I was going to have to face Felix's hug and when I turn around I'll see his huge grin, his usual, since I haven't seen him in a week.
Only, when I turned around I didn't see Felix with his grin. He had his Uh-Oh face. Shit.
I looked at the floor where I ad caught him glancing, and there, on the floor, in pieces, was my IPod.
"FELIX VOLTURI! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY IPOD!"
"It's cause…I was excited…the door…well, you know." Felix stuttered.
Then a figure was in front of me and hugged me, I stiffened a little but relaxed when I saw a head of blonde hair. I hugged back.
"Hey, Bella."
"What up, Demy." I used his hated nickname. He grimaced.
Then from the corner of my eye I saw Felix tiptoeing slowly out of the room.
"You're not getting off the hook that easily, Felix." I muttered, still in Demetri's arms. I pulled away and glared at Felix who was staring in front of him at my bedroom door with widened eyes. Demetri smirked.
"Ok, see ya, Bells. I'll leave you two alone. Felix, enjoy your punishment." And with that he was gone. Felix glared at the place where he once was.
"Feeeeliiiiix." I sang. His eyes snapped to me.
"You know you're going with me to buy a new one, right?" I laughed. He groaned.
"Chelsea and Heihei aren't going, okay?" He said.
"Of course not!" There is no way I'm taking them to the mall with me. They'd go clothes crazy. I've experienced it once. I'm not going to experience it again. Felix sighed, in relief I believe.
"Fine," He mumbled as he walked toward the door.
"Wait," I said and he stopped and turned to me, "Stay here while I go tell Uncle Aro."
He nodded and threw himself onto my bed. I rolled my eyes and went to tell my uncles and father. They quickly agreed with only one condition. That I wear my cloak, which I don't understand why I have to since I don't twinkle in the sun like them.
I was walking through the halls back to my room when all of the sudden I heard my name being called not so far behind he. Great.
I knew those voices a little too well. I began running toward the room and when I got there I saw Felix lying on my bed trying to solve my Rubik cube with his eyebrows furrowed in frustration and I could tell that his patience was running low.
I ran to my closet; put my cloak on and whispered-yelled breathlessly.
"Felix! Let's get going if you don't want Heidi and Chelsea dragging us into stores! They're coming this way!" And before I could say anything else, I was on his back and we were flying out the window, and then dashing to the mall. Running for our dear lives.
*Half an Hour Later*
"Black or blue?" I asked Felix.
"Hmmm… Black's cool." He answered. I nodded and took my new IPod to the counter to pay where there was a boy around my age working. Not every day you see a 14 year old working at an electronics store.
"I'll be right back, Bells." Felix called to me. I nodded and kept walking to the counter. The boy smiled at me.
"Hello." He said. I smiled back. Do I look that American? He even knew I talked English.
"Hey." I replied, giving him my new IPod and IPod cover to him.
Once he finished checking it he gave them back to me in a box with a bag.
"Is that all?" He asked, eyeing me. I nodded.
"Your boyfriend won't want anything?" He continued. I stared at him, confused. But when he pointed his chin to the door I burst out laughing while shaking my head.
"No, he's not my boyfriend… or anything close," I kept on laughing, "He's much older than me." Hundreds of years older than me, I added in my head. He gave me a cute smile.
"Then today's my lucky day." He said. I blushed lightly.
And so that started a whole flirting session… (A/N I am not putting the flirt monster side of Bella. Ew. *shivers*)
*5 Minutes Later*
I was laughing with the counter boy when all of the sudden he stopped then looked over my shoulder and back at me with an alerted expression.
I turned around and saw Felix with a murderous glare on.
If looks could kill…
"What do you think our doing." He asked the counter boy with a livid tone.
"We are talking. Do you have a problem with that?" I said through my gritted teeth before counter boy could answer. Felix glanced between the two of us.
"Come on, Bella." He ordered while turning around and walking through the door. I sighed and turned to counter boy.
"Sorry about that." I said. He narrowed his eyes at me.
"I thought you didn't have a boyfriend." He said. I rolled my eyes and opened my mouth to speak but he interrupted me.
"Then why did he call you 'bella'." He pointed out. I rolled my eyes once again.
"That's my name you asshole! He's my big brother!" I exclaimed. I was going to say that he was my cousin but saying that he's my brother helps my point.
"O-oh. Um, I…" He stuttered. I contained a snort. Sorry, buddy. You lost your chance. I turned away with my bag without saying another word.
"By the way, my name's Daniel." He called out. I stopped mid-way and responded over my shoulder.
"Bella." And began walking again to face Felix, finding him in the parking lot leaning on his car which I thought was left in the castle. I sighed. Vampire speed. Here we go…
*And So On…*
"HE WAS FUCKIN' FLIRTING WITH YOU, BELLA!" Felix yelled on our way back to the castle in the Mercedes.
"He was so not!" I lied. His hands gripped the steering wheel tighter.
"Bella." He said firmly while watching in front of him.
"What." I said in the same tone.
"Don't lie to me."
I groaned in frustration and noticed that we were entering the Volturi garage.
Felix blew my chance with the first boy who wasn't freaked out of me because of my cloak (since all Volterra knew that cloaks meant danger) and I wasn't going to argue with him about this.
"IT'S MY LIFE!" I yelled, and then opened the door, jumping out and running towards the castle's entrance. I needed to go to my room. I didn't look back. I didn't need to. I already knew what Felix's face was going to be like.
*An Hour Later*
I kept staring at the wall in anger. I'm lying down on my bed, bored and depressed. Then I heard a small knock.
"Go away." I mumbled, knowing whatever vampire that was behind my door could hear me perfectly well. Besides, I'm the only human in the castle.
The door opened slowly and a head poked inside. Heidi. She walked in then sat beside me on my bed.
"Why is Felix angry, Bella?" She asked softly. If I wasn't in this situation I would have been surprised. She was never soft and so kind. She's always… Gothic. I groaned.
"Why? Why?" I asked, "Why is he angry? I should be the only one angry for God's Sake! He didn't even let me talk to a boy! The only one here in Italy that speaks English and actually speaks to me even when I have my friggin' sparkling preventer cloak that I don't even need! And you ask me why Felix is angry!" I all but screamed in her face. Heidi sighed.
"What did Felix do to piss you off this much again?" She asked, and raised an eyebrow at me.
"HE BLEW MY CHANCE WITH A BOY AND ACTED LIKE A STUPID OLDER BROTHER THAT JUST BUTTS IN HIS LTTLE SISTER'S LIFE!" I shrieked. Heidi's face grew more serious than it already was.
"Bella," She said, "I really don't want to know, nor really care what happened in the mall with Felix and earn being hurt with your problems so I won't ask for details." She stood up and stared at me, then continued.
"So I'll just remind you this. The Volturi is a huge family that you are now part of and family doesn't fight. They can't stand being angry with each other. We are there for each other, in the good and in the bad. Always… no matter what happens. Remember that." And with that she gave me a small smile and disappeared. I sighed heavily.
I sighed because I knew it was true.
I can't stand being mad at Felix. I need to hear him laugh and see his huge grin.
*5 Minutes Later*
I knocked on his door and the door opened to reveal Felix standing there staring at me. Did he seriously want me to talk first? By the looks of it, yes, yes he does.
"Felix," I finally said, "We need to talk. Can I come in?" He nodded absently and stood aside for me to pass.
As I walked in I noticed his room with a rocker theme. His walls were dark blue and it was covered in posters. He had a bookshelf that wasn't even filled with books, but with CD's and a huge king sized bed. He also has a billboard with written on top 'MY FAVORITE FAMILY MEMBERS.' He had pictures of a glaring Heidi, frowning Chelsea, grinning Demetri, startled Aro and he even had pictures of Jane. Most of them were of her in her usual non-emotional self. But there was one single one where she was smiling, flashing her beautiful perfect straight white teeth. But I stared at only one section. A section where there was only pictures of me. I didn't even know that he takes pictures of me when I'm not looking. There was one where I was pouting at Chelsea who was holding an outfit, one where I was laughing with Demetri, and my favorite one for this moment. One where I was hugging Felix with my total human might.
I stared at it for a while when I remembered where I was. I quickly sat on his unused bed and patted the place next to me where he sat. We stared at each other in silence for a while, trying to guess what the other was thinking until we suddenly blurted out at the same time,
"I'M SORRY!" and I think I saw the corners of his lips twitch slightly.
"You first." He said. I took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry for being such a bitch. You were only protecting me and playing the role of the big brother. I wasn't really thinking wisely about what I was doing and you really didn't deserve being snapped at. I'm just so… I really am…" I sighed because I couldn't even say a whole sentence. I then managed to finish. "I-I'm sorry."
Suddenly I was engulfed in cold large arms and Felix's voice talked to me in my ear.
"I should be the only sorry one. I was being an asshole to not let you talk to the kid. It's because I couldn't stand to see how he looked at you. With l-l-lust in his eyes. It disgusted me. And I think I went a little overboard with the whole thing. I see in a 'Your-Only-Fourteen' way while you are really 'Your-Already-Fourteen'. It's just…" He sighed, "God, I'm such an asshole."
I couldn't help but chuckle at the whole 'I-Can't-Pronounce-The-Word-Lust-While-Directing-It-To-Fourteen-Year-Olds' situation but snapped out of it when Felix pulled away and stared at the floor. I sighed and gave him another hug which he returned.
"Friends?" He asked hopefully. I shook my head and pulled away. He looked startled. I smiled ad pointed my chin towards his family bulletin board.
"Not friends, Felix. Family."
Aww. Felix and Bells had a moment.
Now, in the next chapter you will have what you've all been waiting for…
THE FIRST TIME ALEC TALKS TO BELLA!
But remember, it isn't going to be nice…
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Alec is finally going to talk to Bella,
And Bella will throw him something… a shoe?
NOPE! ;D
