-BOAS-
Bella
I really didn't want to get up since the bed was so very comfortable. Groaning I stretched my arms out, opened my eyes, and then screamed at seeing a face two inches from mine.
As my heart raced I stared at Emmett who was now sitting at the end of my bed instead of leaning over my head.
"You scared the hell out of me you jerk." I said sending him a glare. It didn't faze him though and he just sat there grinning at me.
I glanced over at Rose and Jasper on the other bed and both were fighting to keep from laughing.
"Knock it off." I said.
"We didn't do anything." Jasper said holding his hands up.
"No, but you didn't stop him either. What if I'd raised up and knocked myself unconscious on his forehead or something?"
"Dramatic much?" Rose asked, but she wore a smile so I knew she wasn't saying it to be mean.
"It could happen."
"Yes, but it didn't so all is right with the world right now."
I rolled my eyes at her and then pushed the covers off of me so I could go to the bathroom, grabbing clothes out of my bag so I could shower while I was in there as well. When I'd finished and had my hair up in a ponytail I came back out to find a tray from room service sitting on the bed.
Jasper smiled as I dropped down beside it and him and I said, "Thanks."
"Welcome. I got you french toast and juice. I hope that's okay."
"It's perfect." I said taking the lid off and setting it to the side.
As I ate Emmett and Rose watched something on TV. I think it might have been called Overhaulin. Whatever it was though they were both staring at the show like it held the secrets of life.
Jasper was sitting beside me looking at his pocket watch. I smiled when he caught me looking and after he returned it I went back to my food.
When he'd told me it had belonged to his father and the necklace was his mother's I'd been floored. To think I'd stumbled across something that would have gone to him eventually, if he'd stayed human, was amazing. To think it had only taken a little of my time and money to give it back to him was the best feeling in the world. The look on his face was worth it and if I could find every item that had belonged to him I would.
I did still feel a slight bit of guilt at keeping the necklace though, but not enough to give it up. Sure, it probably should go to Alice. She was his wife and mate, but he wanted me to have it and I was going to keep it. She'd just have to deal with it. She was starting to piss me off more and more anyway.
I felt calmness wash away the anger that had started to build from thinking about some of the things she'd done and said lately. Taking a deep breath I gave Jasper a nod in thanks. He lifted an eyebrow in a silent question, but I just shook my head and went back to eating my breakfast. He didn't push or pry for which I was thankful.
I finished eating quickly and the four of us headed out for the day. As we walked toward my new car I couldn't stop the smile from spreading across my face. It was such a pretty car, sleek, hot, and powerful. I never thought I'd feel that way about a car, but it was like I couldn't feel any other way about it. I'd known as soon as I'd laid eyes on it that it was the one, even though I knew Edward was going to hate it. There was no way I was giving it up though.
As we stopped beside it and I hit the unlock button I grinned wider. Emmett and Rose immediately climbed in the back while Jasper and I settled into the front seats. After I was buckled I started it up and might have shuddered as it came to life, the low purr sending excitement through me. I was so glad I'd thought to call the insurance company last night before we left Stephen's office. I would have been really upset if I couldn't have driven it around today.
After checking behind me three times I carefully backed out of the parking spot and then pulled out of the lot, heading for our first stop of Staples.
Once there I got everything I would need for school and after paying we piled back in the car and headed for the mall. When I'd found a spot we climbed out and walked inside, stopping just inside the doors.
"So, what's the plan?" Emmett asked.
"Bella and I are going to go find her school clothes. You boys go do whatever and we'll find you later." Rose said looking at me for confirmation that that plan was okay. When I nodded she smiled and linked her arm with mine.
After giving Emmett and Jasper a small wave we headed further into the mall. We passed a few stores that I'd never go in before coming to Forever 21. I stopped immediately at seeing the sign and turned toward the door. Rose followed me without a word of disgust or to get me to change my mind and it only made me like her more. Alice would have been dragging me down to one of the more expensive stores in a heartbeat.
We started at the back and looked through each rack. Rose would hold something up every now and then, asking if I liked it. If I shook my head she'd put it back without question and if I nodded she'd fold it over her arm for me to try on. After we both had about ten things we moved to the dressing room. I was surprised that Rose even found a few things she liked and shut herself in the changing stall beside me.
Once I'd tried everything on I'd had four things I wanted to buy-a navy blue short sleeved top with a ruffle down the front, a pair of brown silky-looking pair of capris that hit just below my knee, a pair of black shorts with big pocket designs on the front, and a pair of black skinny pants. Rose also chose a few things-a pair of dark-wash skinny jeans, a black pencil skirt, and a red corset type tank with black lace along the top edge.
After we both paid we headed back out and ended up in Old Navy.
As we were browsing the racks there I said, "Rose can I ask you something?"
"Yeah," She said glancing up briefly.
"Why did you offer to look at my truck?"
She didn't lift her head, but I saw a smile cross her face before she answered, "There are actually three reasons why. Let's finish picking out things and while we're trying them on I'll tell you."
"Okay." I said and went back to the clothes I was looking at.
Just like before when we had an armful we headed into the changing rooms. I was in the middle of stripping down when Rose started to talk.
"The first reason is because of Jasper and Emmett. It's not a secret that they are the ones I'm closest with and helping you made them happy. I should have done it before then or at least been nicer, Lord knows Emmett tried to make me see reason, but I'm stubborn. Always have been and I was still convinced you were a threat to my family, but then James happened and my views about you started to change. When you befriended Jasper and accepted him, scars and his past, without question it solidified everything I'd started to realize already."
She stopped there, but I knew what she'd left unsaid; that I wasn't a threat anymore.
"The second reason?" I asked after a moment.
"I pay attention to things, a lot more than some family members might think or want me to..." She paused for a moment and while she didn't say anything out of the ordinary, something about her words and the tone told me she meant something more than what she was going to say. Not wanting to get on her bad side again I let it go though and she continued. "Your truck wasn't just some heap of junk you drove. You didn't hear the backfires, see the flecks of paint that fell off with every slam of the door, or look at the rust spots. To you it was just as beautiful as the new car your keys belong to now. It was a gift from a dad who loves you and wanted you to be happy with the decision you made about moving in with him. If I could have fixed it it would have made you happy which then ties back into the first reason."
I smiled even though she couldn't see it and whispered knowing she could hear me, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. I'm sorry I couldn't fix it though."
"It's okay."
We both fell silent and I lost myself in my thoughts for a moment before I finally asked, "And the third reason?"
To my surprise she started laughing before she answered, "Well, that one is kind of a selfish reason."
"Which would be?"
"It pissed Edward off and I make it a goal to do that at least a few times a week."
I couldn't stop the snort from escaping and clamped a hand over my mouth as Rose started laughing again.
She was still grinning seconds later when we stepped out of the dressing rooms. I just shook my head at her as we put the things we didn't want on the rack by the entrance. What was left in my hands was two pairs of jeans-light and dark wash, a plaid or flannel type shirt with ¾ length sleeves, a long sleeve red shirt, a white flowy tank, and a blank tank with a white winged design on the front. Those along with what I'd already gotten, would be enough to make up five new outfits. I decided I was finished and Rose was as well. She'd chosen a tank like mine but white with a black design, a pair of black shorts, and a blue tank with a gathered look to it. We walked over to checkout and quickly paid for our purchases.
As we stepped out of the store we saw Jasper and Emmett coming toward us, carrying bags too. Emmett, not surprising had one from a gaming store as well as a man's clothing store. Jasper's were from the same clothing store and a book store.
"Hey you two," Jasper said as they stopped beside us.
"Hey," I said eying his clothing bag. He caught me and gave me a big smile. Seeing it I asked, "What did you get?"
He opened the bag and I saw three pairs of jeans, a few plain short sleeved t-shirts in different colors, and a couple long-sleeved t-shirts in black and dark blue.
"Nice," I said with a nod.
"Thanks, what did you get?"
I showed him my two bags and earned a nod of approval.
"So are we done?" Emmett asked.
"I still need shoes." I said.
"Yeah, and a few other things." Rose added.
Glancing over at her I found a smirk on her face, but couldn't remember what else I needed. When she didn't elaborate and her smirk grew I got scared.
She chuckled quietly seeing my reaction before looping her arm through mine. "It's nothing bad just needed. Let's get the shoes first though."
"All right." I said still a little scared, but let her start leading me away from the store front.
We walked past a few more stores before Emmett grinned. "Let's go in here real quick."
I looked up at the name, The T-shirt Place, before walking inside. Rose groaned and I saw why as soon as I glanced around. All the shirts had those funny sayings or pictures on them and I could only imagine what Emmett was going to find.
Emmett rubbed his hands together and said, "Since none of you know what good taste is, I'm going to pick each of you out a shirt or two."
Jasper, Rose, and I glanced at each before silently deciding to let him have his fun and motioned for him to go about it and we just followed behind him as he looked around.
After just a few seconds he held up a black t-shirt that read I Heart Being a Bitch; the heart being the symbol and not the word. He didn't have to say a word to who it belonged to and with a glare that didn't meet her eyes, Rose reached out and took it from his hand.
His grin got impossibly wider as he moved off to look somewhere else. By the time he was finished and our laughter had subsided Rose still had just the one shirt. Jasper was holding three-a whitish/gray one with a chicken, cow, and pig on it that said Animals Taste Good, a green one that said Ask Me About My Ability To Annoy Complete Strangers, and a white one that said Dying Is For Amateurs. I had two-a red one that said I'll Have What Charlie's Having and a white one that said I Do My Own Stunts complete with a person falling above the words. He thought they both were hilarious even when he assumed I wouldn't wear them. I would though, only for the simple fact that he'd chosen them.
Of course, the three of us weren't the only one with shirts. No, Emmett had chosen three of his own. Two of them were a creamy yellow color; on one it had a bear that looked like it was biting into the shirt and had the words Real Bear Hugs Are Often Fatal and the other said 100% Orgasmic written in green. Rose had just shaken her head as he held the last one up and wiggled his eyebrows at her. Jasper and I had stood to the side laughing which only grew as he held up the last one he found. It was white with a snapshot on the front. The pic was of two peanuts wearing top hats and leaning on canes and written underneath were the words Here's A Photo Of My Nuts.
Once we all had our shirts we stepped over to the check out station. As I waited for Emmett to pay for his and Rose's shirts I glanced around. Just as I went to step up to the counter my eyes landed on a shirt that was hidden behind a few others. Moving out of line I motioned for Jasper to go ahead and pay as I walked over to the rack. Pushing the front shirts out of the way I couldn't help but laugh as I saw what I'd thought I'd seen and knew I had to get it. Pulling it off the rack I was happy to see it was my size and carried it back to the counter. Emmett, Rose, and Jasper took one look at the picture-red lips with vampire fangs-and the words-Bite Me-before all of them burst out laughing. I just grinned in return and went on to pay for all three. The shirt was going to piss Edward off severely, but it was funny as hell and I couldn't not get it.
As we were walking back out to the main part of the mall my stomach growled, letting me know it was hungry. They quickly ushered me toward the food court for lunch. After getting and eating a gyro and some fries we went back to shopping, something I was finding I didn't mind at all, since Emmett, Rose, and Jasper made it fun.
Our first stop was the shoe store where Rose got three pairs of shoes-a pair of black peep toe heels, a pair of calf high brown boots with heels, and a pair of knee high black boots with heels. I got four pairs-brown ballerina flats, brown, flat gladiator type sandals that stopped at my ankles, knee-high black wedge boots that laced up, and black and white converse sneakers.
As I was paying the lady set my bags on the counter and Jasper reached up, taking them in his hand.
"Thank you," I said turning from the counter.
"You're welcome."
I gave him a smile and the four of us walked out of the store.
"So, we're done now right?" I asked hopefully.
"Nice try, Bella." Rose said laughing. "We still have one more store to go to. You boys go find something else to do for about an hour."
With that she once again looped her arm with mine and led me away. We took the escalator down to the first level and walked past a few stores before stopping in front of the one Rose wanted. I groaned reading the name above the door-Victoria Secret.
"Really? Why can't I just get this stuff at Walmart."
"Okay, I'm good with Old Navy and Forever 21, but you are not getting your bras and panties from Walmart."
"Please?"
"Why do you dislike this place so much? Have you even shopped here before?"
"I don't know and no."
"Then how do you know you dislike it?"
She had me there. I'd really never seen myself wearing something from there though. I mean it's not like I had someone to wear it for. Sure, I was with Edward but if he showed up and found me in something like they sell, he'd freak and then leave. I didn't need that bruise to my ego so I'd always settled for cotton, instead of lace.
"Come on, Bella. Just try a few things on. If you don't like them I will take you to...that other place myself."
I laughed and said, "Say that other place's name first and I'll go in."
She narrowed her eyes before hissing out, "Walmart."
I started laughing harder until she cut it off by grabbing my arm and dragging me into the store.
Once we were inside and standing by a table filled with panties she let me go and asked, "Do you know that 90% of women wear the wrong sized bra?"
"Why would I know that?"
She rolled her eyes and then looked around until she got the attention of a saleswoman. The lady walked right over and I read her name tag-Kim-as she asked, "Can I help you ladies?"
"Yes, we need to see what size she is." Rose said pointing at me.
"Of course, follow me."
We followed Kim toward the back and then she motioned me into a dressing room. As soon as I stepped inside she closed herself in with me and said, "Okay, shirt off, but leave your bra on."
"Ummm...what?"
"Take your shirt off," She said slowly like I was 2. "And leave your bra on."
I glared at her. "Why?"
"Because I need to measure you to get the right size."
"Bella just take your shirt off. She isn't going to hurt you."
I stuck my tongue out at the door, knowing it was the only way I'd get away with it and pulled my shirt from my body.
"Just as I thought," said Kim. "Not the right size at all." She then pulled a measuring tape from her pocket and did what she needed to. I ignored her for the most part, staring at a spot on the wall until she was done.
What I wasn't expecting was to actually go up a cup size. I was apparently a small c now. When she told me I heard from Rose again, "Do you want me to just go find some different styles and pass them over the door to you?"
"If you don't mind." I said not wanting to even look around.
"Of course not." I saw her walking away as Kim slipped out the door, leaving me alone.
I sat on the bench inside and waited for about five minutes before Rose was knocking. I cracked the door and took the armload of bras from her before shutting it back.
As I started to try each one on I had to admit they were nice. The new size fit perfectly and made my boobs look fantastic. I ended up preferring the t-shirt bras and the full-coverage ones so I decided to get three of each. I was just about to put my shirt back on when Rose knocked at the door again.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"I found a sleep outfit that is really cute." Rose said.
I opened the door with dread only to smile when I saw what she was holding out. It was a pair of shorts and a tank in a lilac color. It had a small lacy type design at the chest area, but the rest was plain.
I took it immediately and shut the door back before undressing down to my bra and panties. I put the outfit on and immediately loved it. My skin didn't look as pale and it covered all the important bits.
"Can I see when you're done?" Rose asked and I reached for the door lock, figuring I could open the door enough for her to see me. I pulled the door open and stepped out from behind it. "Oh I like it." She said.
I nodded in agreement and started to turn so I could change back into my regular clothes when I heard a hiss that sounded like it covered up the word fuck and then, "Holy hell, Bells you look hot."
I blushed crimson when I glanced up and found Emmett and Jasper standing a few feet away. Both were staring at me, but it was Jasper that confused me. He was standing completely still except for his eyes which were darting all over me and his throat which kept bobbing as he swallowed. I couldn't seem to move either and I was pretty sure it was because I didn't really mind him looking. Of course, that just succeeded in confusing me even more.
Finally, after what seemed like hours, Jasper made a weird noise; it was somewhere between a choke and a growl. Whatever it was it spurred Emmett into action and he grabbed Jasper's arm, taking him back toward the front of the store.
I watched their backs until I couldn't see them anymore and then turned my head toward Rose.
"What just happened?" I asked.
Rose had a weird expression on face though. It was like she'd figured something out and was both happy and not so happy about it.
When she didn't answer right away I thought she wasn't going to at all and started to turn toward the dressing room, but then she said, "I think something enlightening."
My brow furrowed at her cryptic words and I asked, "Like what?"
"I'm not sure." She said looking back toward the front of the store where the boys had disappeared. "But I'm going to find out. When I do I'll let you know."
I nodded not knowing what to say and returned to the dressing room immediately. Before I changed back into my clothes I took a moment to look at myself in the mirror, wondering what had caused Jasper's reaction. For the life of me I couldn't figure it out and decided to forget it even happened. If I continued to think about it, it would just give me a headache.
As I changed my head went back to the thought of liking that he had looked. I shook that thought away too. Nothing good would come from thinking about that at all.
When I had my clothes back on I grabbed up the bras and the sleep outfit and left the dressing room. Rose was waiting and took all, but the two bras and outfit I wanted, to hang back up. We didn't talk at all as she did that or while we picked out the other bras or while we picked out the bottoms to go with them or while I paid.
As we left the store I glanced around and saw Jasper and Emmett sitting on a bench a few stores away. I could tell Emmett was whispering something to him, but of course I couldn't hear what it was. Rose could if the new look on her face was anything to go by. Granted, I couldn't tell you what the look was or meant, so it didn't help.
We walked over to the guys and after just a second I realized that Jasper wouldn't look at me. I saw his eyes dart to the bag in my hand, but that was it. I didn't like it at all. I didn't like that whatever had happened had caused an awkwardness to appear. We'd been having a good time and now it seemed like that had just been completely wiped out. I didn't know how to fix it either. Saying anything would more than likely only embarrass me.
I glanced at Emmett and received a small smile, but it did nothing to help the situation. A few more silent minutes passed and I was getting frustrated. Thankfully, my phone beeped before I could blurt something stupid out and with relief I pulled it from my pocket, feeling all eyes turn to me.
I'd never been happier to see Peter's name flash across the screen or the text that was waiting. Opening it up I read out loud, "What do you call a man with no arms and no legs sitting on my front porch?"
My phone beeped again and I laughed as I read the punch line, "Dinner."
All three of the others snorted which only caused me to laugh harder. My laughter spread to the others and before I knew it we were gaining looks from people walking by, some of them chuckling with us. I took a few deep breaths to calm down and turned my eyes onto Jasper. I was so happy to see that the tension that had seemed to be radiating from him when Rose and I walked up was gone.
He gave me a small smile and I returned it as he pushed himself to his feet. No one mentioned leaving, but I think we all knew it was time to go. We started walking back the way we needed to go and while we didn't talk it wasn't an awkward silence.
I slowed a little to trail behind as I typed up a message to Peter...
You're timing is impeccable.
He sent a return text a few seconds later...
:) I know.
I sent another...
What happened?
His reply was just as quick as the first...
I can't tell you yet, but things will become very clear very soon.
Are you sure?
Trust me, Little Bit, when I say I'm 100% positive
All right
;)
"Everything okay?" I glanced up to find Jasper looking down at me.
"Yeah," I said as I slipped my phone in my pocket. "Just texting with Peter."
He smiled and we continued on out to the car without saying anything else. As we were loading everything into the trunk I noticed another two bags that Jasper had.
"What did you get?" I asked motioning my head to the bag.
He grinned and pulled one box out of one of the bags. When he pulled the lid off a grin spread across my face at seeing the brown cowboy boots inside.
"I like them." I said.
"Me too. I also got a black pair and then these..." He said putting the brown pair back and pulling the one box out of the other bag. Inside of it was a pair of red cowboy boots. "...for you."
My eyes widened and I looked up at him quickly. "Me?"
"Yeah, I saw them and thought you'd like them. If you don't-"
"I love them." I said cutting him off. "Thank you, Jasper."
"You're welcome, Bella." He gave me a small smile as he replaced the lid and put the box in the trunk before closing it.
Rose and Emmett had already climbed into the backseat and Jasper and I quickly settled in the front. The drive back to the hotel was quick and before we went up to the room we grabbed the clothing and shoe bags from the back.
We spent the rest of the night hanging out in the room. I ordered dinner from room service and while I waited for it to arrive I tried on my new red boots. They were a perfect fit. I gave Jasper a hug in thanks again, grinning the entire time and ignoring the fact that we both may have held on a little longer than necessary.
Once my food came and after I'd eaten, we ordered a movie. I watched it until I couldn't hold my eyes open and fell asleep to the sound of the other threes' almost quiet chuckles.
The next morning while we were making sure we had everything I couldn't help but grin at the fact that all of us had on something new. I'd gone with a pair of my new jeans, my Bite Me t-shirt, and of course the red boots. Emmett was wearing his bear t-shirt. Rose had on her new shorts, boots, and her new white tank top. Jasper looked so much more comfortable and very nice in the dark wash jeans, the Animals Taste Good t-shirt, and the pair of brown cowboy boots. I caught myself staring at him a few times, but thankfully if anyone else did they didn't say anything and we were able to check out without any tension.
As we got out to my car Jasper and I loaded everything into the trunk again. When we'd closed it Emmett and Rose gave us a wave before heading over to the jeep and getting in. I stood there for only a second before tossing Jasper the keys.
"You can drive."
He got this kid in a candy store look before rushing over to the driver's side. I shook my head, laughing quietly as I walked over to the passenger side.
The drive home was nice. We talked a little, but were content to listen to the radio for most of it. However, once we reached Port Angeles I couldn't shake the feeling that this weekend had been a turning point of some kind. I didn't know what or how, but I just knew it was going to cause a whole heap of issues. Whether or not those issues would be bad or good was still up in the air. I really hoped it was the latter though.
-BOAS-
Alice (starts a few minutes after Jasper and the others leave for Seattle)
"That whore." I ranted over and over again as I paced my bedroom.
"You need to stop calling her that."
Fuck you, Edward. I said silently.
He growled and was standing in my doorway seconds later.
"Oh, get over it. This is all your fault anyway."
"And how do you come to that conclusion?"
I narrowed my eyes at him. "Seriously? Was it not you that said 'he's going so drop it'."
He rolled his eyes at me and I really wanted to slap the shit out of him.
"You can try," He growled. "But don't think for a second I wouldn't hit you back."
"Maybe if you did it to that bitch we wouldn't be having this problem."
"And if you hadn't have lied from the start we wouldn't be here either."
"I didn't see you griping about it when it meant you got her. You just need to learn how to fucking handle your shit."
"I am handling it."
"Oh really? Tell me what plan you've come up with to keep her away from him?"
"I'm still working it out. I'll let you know."
"Well, work faster because her days are numbered if you don't hurry."
"Don't push me Alice. She's mine and it will stay that way."
I rolled my eyes. "She'll never be what you want her to be. She'll never be who you want her to be."
"Shut UP!" He roared.
What's the matter, Eddie? Are you starting to realize that? Are you starting to see that your precious Bella will never be-
"I said SHUT UP!" He roared again as he shot toward me.
I danced out of his way giggling. I wanted to taunt him more, but I saw Esme and Carlisle returning from their hunt in five minutes. While I didn't mind fighting Edward, it would be hard to explain the giant hole we'd put in the side of the house. Much easier to manipulate those two idiots when they thought we were nice and honest, especially when we all knew Edward and I were their favorites.
"As much fun as it would be to continue our night the 'parentals' are on their way back."
His whole demeanor changed with my words. He became the good little boy everyone thought he was. I knew different though. I was the only one who knew his darkest secret and that it was the reason he'd gone off on his own for 10 years. As well as, the reason he was such a brooding dick now.
He didn't comment on my thoughts, but I could see his fists clenching in anger. Giggling again I danced out of the room and headed downstairs just as Carlisle and Esme came out of the trees in the backyard.
Edward and I met them on the back porch and after a quick word with them the two of us headed into the trees. We separated after a few miles to hunt and returned back to the house a few hours later.
I had just finished cleaning myself up when I slipped into a vision and I had to fight the need to smash everything in the room when it was over.
You see that Edward? I'm done.
He quickly came to my room and stared at me which resulted in me slipping into a new vision...
It started with a surprise birthday party. Bella cut her finger on one of the presents I'd wrapped. Jasper lunging and fighting to bite her. Edward pushing her into glass plates, cutting her up more. Emmett and Rose wrestling Jasper out of the house. Me, convincing Jasper to go away for a little while. Once we're gone Edward convincing Bella to run away with him. Jasper and I returned and lived happily ever after never to see Bella and Edward again.
I snapped back to the present as the vision ended and looked at Edward for a few minutes. I finally nodded my head in agreement of his plan, but I gave him a silent warning.
If it doesn't work I swear on my fall wardrobe I will kill her.
I could tell he wanted to say something, but in the end he nodded his head in agreement as well.
Good, now if you'll excuse me I need to make a phone call.
He left me alone and I grabbed my phone before leaping out the window and running back to the woods.
Each call I made to Jasper pissed me off more and more. After the hang up I was so close to running to Seattle, but I saw the outcome and it wouldn't be good for me. When the next four calls went unanswered I ended up smashing my phone in my hand which just pissed me off further.
September 13th couldn't get here fast enough and was really still too far away. I needed my own plan to put Jasper back in the place he needed to be until then.
Perching myself on a log I spent the night going over different scenarios, working each one out with decisions until they bent to the only acceptable way. When I finally decided on the plan I wanted to go with I couldn't stop the smile from spreading across my face. Now, I just needed to decide when I was going to put that plan into action.
-BOAS-
So yeah, if you haven't picked up on it, Alice is a little crazy. Eddie boy has a secret. What could it be? Jasper and Bella shared a few moments. And Peter gave a cryptic clue, surprise surprise. Review and let me know your thought on things.
