I do not own Twilight
Jacob POV
I got my lunch tray over flowing with food and walked to our usual table. Manasseh, Noah, Enoch, Jane, and Alexis were already sitting there. I was a little disappointed that Sarah wasn't there. Yeah, who am I kidding, I was crushed.
"Why the long face Jake?" Alexis said as she tried signaled for me to sit next to her. I plopped my tray next to her and popped a squat. She started to squeeze my arm like she always did when she saw me. It was kind of annoying, but really, I don't care. I only have eyes for Sarah anyway. I was stareing at the door that came in from the lunch line to wait for my sweet sweet Sarah. I truly isn't a coincidence that her name is Sarah. She is a princess. She will be my princess some day. I will hold her close to me and...
That is when I realized that I was getting a little too friendly to Alexis. Oh no! She's just about hyperventilating and looking into my eyes and doing some weird twitching thing with her lips. Stupid daydreams. I really need to get more sleep! I get distracted way too easily.
SLAM
Pudding splattered on my face from the dropped lunch tray. I looked up and there was Sarah. She looked like she was ready to kill me. I don't get it. What did I do. I quickly stood up and then Alexis fell on the floor.
"Jake!" She squealed.
I just looked at her confused. "What?"
"You just dropped me! What's your deal? Blonds are suppose to be dense, not boys! And what's your deal Sar- rah! Why are you splattering your pudding on me and my boyfriend?! You ruined my outfit you COW! I have to now go home and change. I should send you the dry cleaning bill!"
"Whoa, boyfriend? I'm not anyones..." but Sarah cut me off.
"I could care less who your boyfriend is. Obviously it was a MISTAKE! Why would I splatter pudding on Jake?!" Then she looked directly at me and said, "He's my friend! Why would I do something like that?!"
"Um...yeah, of course it was a mistake. I got splattered too you know and I'm not mad at all. If Sarah wanted to she could use me for pudding aiming practice all day." Uh oh...she looks like she might take me up on that.
"Is that your best way to defend me? Ugh!" and with that Alexis stalked off.
"Why would I aim pudding at you all day?! A girl would have to be pretty upset me to want to do that! What could you have done to upset me?! Huh!" She then stalked off.
Wow, what just happened?
"Dude, she has it bad for you!" Enoch said. He and Manasseh started to laugh.
"What are you idiots talking about about?"
"Um...seriously dude, you need to pay attention to what's going on!"
Then Jane turned to me and said, "They are talking about SARAH. I know being the center of a love triangle must be difficult. At least it seems that way in all the books I read, but they are talking about Sarah and then there is also Alexis' obvious infatuation with you and your...um...muscles. You need to make a choice and stop messing with their hearts or you are going to be all alone. At least, that's what I can see from my perspective."
"Really? Sarah...likes me?" I can't believe it. My dreams have come true. She likes me. Well, I don't know about it that anymore. "But...she just looked like she was ready to kill me. I mean, that doesn't look like 'like' to me!"
"Haven't you ever heard that there is a thin line between love and hate?"
Jane just said the most amazing thing I could have ever heard. It was amazing. For the first time in my life, I wasn't hungry. I didn't even have my lunch yet. I have to find Sarah! I have to explain myself! I ran out of the lunch room to look for her then.
Edward's POV
Esme looked as me with such hope and love in her eyes, "Oh Edward! I'm so excited for you. You will soon be reunited with your other half. The best part of it all is it sounds like she is just as immortal as we are. Which means..."
"Yes! I have thought of that as well! She will not have to risk her life to spend eternity to be enslaved by blood! Plus, she's not as fragile as she once was and, she smells the same. Yes, it's faded a little in the sea water, but she's the same beautiful Bella." I couldn't help but to smile and remember the last time I held her in my arms.
Alice and Jasper started to make out in the back seat. That is so typical. "Would you two give it a break!"
'Sorry man, but with all those romantic feelings you are giving off, it just kind of swept me up in the moment. Sorry!'
I nodded to accept the apology, however Alice had another point of view on it, 'Give me a break! You know very well if you had Bella hear with you right now that you wouldn't care if your audience was the Pres. of the US, the Queen of England, and the Pope. You would be making out with Bella till your lips catch on fire from the friction!'
She was right... I knew it.
The flight was uneventful yet very typical. The same kinds of flight attendances that hit on me. Alice told one I was gay to have her stop hitting on me only to have a male flight attendant make the moves on me. Alice must have 'seen it' because she was giggling right before she told the female flight attendances. I should have known when she started to recite Shakespeare in Yiddish.
We landed under the cover of night. Alice was very excited. I had to fight from gagging from the thoughts that "Simon" had of us and our future. Apparently he saw me as his sugar daddy and imagined himself as a trophy husband. I had to tell him that I was "Just not into him". He was yelling in his mind that I didn't know what I was throwing away. Oh, yes, I think I do, and I'll throw it away again in a split second! Ick!
Apparently, the weather would be co-operating with our visit. We found out where Renee lived and we worked out a plan to see her. It was very early in the morning when I got to her house. I've have resorted to stalking her mother. I expected to hear her dreaming, but what I saw in her mind instead took my breath away!
"Mom!! Oh mom!! I'm so excited!! What took you so long to go to sleep?! Wait, if it has to do with maritals, I don't want to know!"
"Oh Bella! I wish! No, Phil is out of town with the team. I had to stay here because we are having some plumbing problems. Ha ha ha! Can you believe that! Ohh! That's so ironic! Ha ha ha ha ha!"
"Oh mom! I miss you! Everyone here is so formal! They never call me Bella. You know, I feel more comfortable when I talk to you. Like, I can breath again."
"I know what you mean! Why do you think I haven't returned to you. Oh honey...I know, I know! Believe me! I know! But as you have heard a million times over, 'We are a noble race. We do not just follow our whims and fancy! We have dignity and grace. We have a responsibility to be examples to those who look up to us.' it's all so annoying! That's why your father and I left the water so many years ago. But...yeah, we see how well that worked out."
"What do you mean? I don't understand."
"You mean they never explained the REAL story with you?" Renee was a agitated when she said that.
"Mom, what real story. All I heard is that you didn't like Forks." I could see the confusion on her face. On her beautiful face. This is the strangest thing I've even experienced. I guess her people communicate during dreams.
"Bella, it goes much deeper than that. You see, Charlie, his parents, and I were...pioneers of sorts. Kind of like astronauts. None of our kind really wanted to do that. We didn't know what kinds of side effects there would be. Well, your grandparents had a really bad reaction. Or so they claim."
"What do you mean?"
"Oh, I think they really weren't happy on land! I think they are a bit of exaggerators! Anyway, you were a bit of a surprise. We didn't think that you would survive. All the doctors told us that you would not survive more than 3 months in the womb. They told us that if we went back to the water while I was pregnant that you would for sure not survive, so that we had to wait it out. Well, 3 months came and went and you were still swimming in my tummy. They were sure you would not survive the transformation in my womb...as you may remember how hard it was when you were transformed yourself."
"Please don't remind me!" she shuddered. 'Oh my Bella, what did you go through'
"Did you hear that?!"
"I think so. What is that?"
"Bella! You have been practicing those tricks I taught you to make your mind more private haven't you?"
"Of course...that's part of the reason why I contacting you. It's about Edward." 'She said my name'
'Bella! Wake up! Someone is trying to eavesdrop on our conversation! WAKE UP NOW!"
And just like that, they were gone in a flash. I couldn't see or hear my angel anymore.
