I don't own the Cullens
Chapter 9 Dresses, Music, and Saved Again.
"It's not funny!" I almost screamed at Dani. We were all sitting in kitchen eating- matt and I were eating- dinner and talking. My parents were out again. They were supposedly picking out new curtains in Seattle and should be home before midnight.
"Sorry Brooke but yea it is funny," Dani said sssstill shaking with laughter.
"Fine then," I huffed crossing my arms. Both Matt and Dani were still shaking with laughter.
"Come here baby you know you want a piece of this," I said in a sexy voice, "you know you wanna be my lesbian lover." I leaned over the table to and gave Dani a kiss on the cheek.
"Holy Crap," Dani yelled running out of the room, "I'm being turned on." It was now my turn to laugh. Matt who had already been laughing fell out of his chair clutching his stomach. Then Dani's fiancé comes bursting through the front door shouting,
"Whoever turned her is going to a beating I'm the only one allowed to turn her on." So naturally I fell off my chair clutching my stomach just as Matt had done. Suddenly my phone buzzed from my backpack.
"Ciao," I said answering it.
"Hi it's Angela," I got in response.
"Hey," I said, "what's up?"
"Well I was just wondering if you and Dani wanted to dress shopping with us after school on Friday."
"Yea we would love to but who's us?"
"Us is me, Jessica, and Lauren." I didn't really like Lauren but I could live.
"Sound perfect," I said, "See you tomorrow."
"Yep bye," Angela said.
"Dani," I yelled.
"Yes," She yelled back.
"We are going shopping on Friday."
"Got it," Dani yelled again.
The next couple of days were pretty boring I didn't do anything like sing Kelly Clarkson during gym class so that was good. I continued to try ignoring Edward, and that was it. I just went through those days being as apathetic as I possibly could. The good news is that today is Friday which means I get to go dress shopping. Yay! However it wouldn't be as fun since Dani was sick -cough hunting cough- and Lauren couldn't go because something came up. To be truthful I don't really know why Lauren couldn't come. I don't exactly listen to her when she talks. Anyway, shopping yay!
After school I met up with my brother and our conversation went like this:
Me: Here's the keys to Steve don't crash and die
Matt: Kay
It was a lovely conversation. Angela got into Jessica's car on the passenger side while I crawled into the back and then Jessica drove to Port Angeles. Thanks to Jess's fast driving we it there by four and wasted no time getting to the one department store Port Angeles had. As we looked at dresses we talked and gossiped.
"I heard that you agreed to go with Tyler to prom," Jessica said. I dropped the strapless olive colored dress I was holding.
"What! Why that arrogant jerk!" I yelled.
"I told you it wasn't true," Angela murmured to Jessica. The conversation slowed as we started to try on the dresses we had found. Jessica found two but decided to go with a knee length blue dress while Angela picked a longer pink one. Mine however was purple with spaghetti straps and an open back but the coolest part was that it had this butterfly covering part of the back. It was the most beautiful dress ever. It was of course the most dress in the whole store so I would have to work my butt of doing cleaning for the next month but it will worth it.
When we were done it was still to early to go eat so Angela and Jessica decided they were going to go walk on the boardwalk, but I needed some new books.
"Go strait down this street then take a left on the third street," Jessica said. However I never did make into the book because right before the book store was a music store with a grand piano right in the window.
"Good evening," the manager said, "is there something I can help you with?" He was probably twenty-two. He had short black that was spiked up in front and bright green eyes. He was attractive.
"Yes," I responded, "can I play this piano?" I asked running my fingers lightly over the keys.
"Only if you know how to play it," he said.
"I do, although I might be a little rusty."
"Why?"
"I had to leave my piano behind when we moved," I said softly.
"Jese," he said, "sorry leaving instruments behind always sucks," he sounded apologetic. I smiled sadly at him, but before I could respond another customer came in. I sat down on the bench and gently started to play. I don't know why but whenever I feel indifferent I start playing Morning Mood. I guess you could call it my default song. My fingers went swiftly over the keys and when I was finished I heard clapping. It was the manager.
"That was beautiful," he said while I blushed.
"Thank You," then I thought I'm probably going to be in here more, "I'm Brooke by the way."
"Alex," he said while shaking the hand I had offered, "I hope to see you again soon."
"I hope to back soon," I said leaving the shop. I turned and started to walk down the street, but as I reached the intersection I realized it was the wrong intersection. I quickly turned around but behind me were four guys.
"Excuse me," I said pushing through them. I then started to walk back down the street. You the feeling you get when something isn't right. It's like a little buzz that goes through your body. Well I had that feeling, so I looked behind me and saw that the men I had run into earlier were following me. Not only were they following me but they were gaining ground. I started to run, but the four men were still gaining ground.
"Hey there hot stuff where you heading off to," one of the men called. One of the men was faster than the other three. He came up behind me and put his arms around my waist. Queue the adrenaline. I stomped on his foot and it shocked the man so much that he let go. I turned and faced him then took the heel of my hand up to his nose. The cracking nose that came from the collision was sickening. I tried to scream but nothing came, and the other three men were now very close to me. I backed up into the street and started praying for a miracle. One came. A silver Volo rounded the corner coming to a screeching stop in front of me.
"Get In!" a voice demanded and a passenger door flew open. I didn't even hesitate I just got in the car.
Alright that my friends was chapter nine. What do think because if you have an opinion you should totoally tell all about it. How? you ask. Review of course. Oh and I am going to put pictures of the girls dresses so if you want to see them go to my profile.
With all my love,
Alli
