Olivia's POV
I woke up way too early the next morning and crossed the room to shake Bella awake. She grumbled as she woke. That morning was used for planning, planning and more planning.
I got dressed in some black trousers and a brown jumper. My hair was back in a low pony and had many leaves and sticks in it. My face was covered in green and black paint. I pulled my camouflage jacket on and turned to see Bella shaking her head at my appearance and smiling.
"What? If we're gonna do it, we might as well do it right." I said as I shrugged. Bella and I drove to school an hour later. I pulled the box of garlic and a tall ladder out of the back seat of her truck and we trudged into the woods. Once there I used the ladder to get in my tree but not before marking it for Bella. Bella then returned the ladder back to the truck.
Bella's part of the plan was to get Edward to the woods and question him, the rest was mine. I sat in the tree for about 40 minutes and thought about Jake. His face, his body, his smile; all so perfect with boyish charm.
I silently gasped as Bella approached the tree and flung her bag down with Edward behind her. Shit, maybe this isn't the best plan.
"You're skin is pale white and ice cold, you're eyes change color and sometimes you speak like you're from another time. You never eat or drink anything; you never go out in the sunlight. How old are you?" Bella asked him. Great, I do all the research and planning and she gets to put her name on it.
"17." Cullen replied moving closer to Bella. I clutched a garlic clove and got ready to throw it.
"How long have you been 17?" She asked him gravely.
"A while." He replied. Shit shit bad idea. Bella's breathing got heavier and heavier and louder and louder. Jesus Bella, don't breathe the guy to death! Actually yeah, soak all of the oxygen from the area so he'll suffocate and I won't have to throw any garlic, lol.
"I know what you are." Bella said lightly. I clutched another piece of garlic in my other hand, ready again.
"Say it, out loud. Say it." Edward replied. How dramatic can you actually get?
"Vampire." She replied softly.
"Are you afraid?" He asked her softly. Where is this going?
"No." Bella shrugged as she turned to face him. Good on you girl.
"Then ask me the most basic question. What do we eat?" Edward taunted. Ok, this is getting out of hand. I pulled my hand up and thrust the garlic down. I watched as Edward caught it before it hit him. What the…? Before I could finish my thoughts, there were hands around me and I was now traveling down the tree. I clutched onto the figure until we hit the ground. Once he released me, I went to stand in front of Bella who looked a bit shocked; I didn't have time for shocked.
Edward chuckled while held the garlic I had attempted to hit him with.
"What were you trying to accomplish here?" He asked while tossing it up in the air and catching it without even looking.
"I was trying to stop you from hurting my sister." I spat at him.
"I wasn't trying to hurt her." He said sincerely.
"You weren't?" I asked skeptically. He shook his head and I knew he was telling the truth. Bella walked out from behind me and approached him. He took her hand then walked over to me and grabbed mine, pulling us deeper into the woods.
"Where are we going?" Bella asked breathlessly. Edward was walking way too fast for us humans.
"Up the mountain. Out of the cloud bank. You need to see what I look like in the sunlight." Edward replied. Look like? You don't burn? Boring!
We were obviously too slow for Edward because he pulled both of us on to his back, he was surprisingly hench. Whilst that he sped up the hill with incredible speed, the scenery became a watery blur and I felt like my nose was flattening. When we reach the top we both jumped off, Bella stumbled a bit but it was just like her.
Edward stepped into the light and unbuttoned his shirt. Whoa there Eddie we only just met!
His chest and face shun like diamonds in the light.
"You're like diamonds." I mused dreamily. Edward looked surprised
"You're beautiful." Bella said in the same tone as me. Edward looked even more surprised.
"Beautiful? This is the skin of a killer Bella." He said looking ashamed as he re-buttoning his shirt. He walked down the hill a bit away from us. Bella went after but I stayed still. She noticed and looked back at me questioningly. I felt tears well up in my eyes as I grabbed both her hands.
"Don't worry, I trust him. He won't hurt you. Go get your vampire." I told her. She nodded and hugged me tightly then turned around and speed walked away. I let out a small smile as I turned and strolled down the path back to the car lot. Why am I crying?
I knew it was because Bella gets her happy ending but I would never have Jake.
I walked home for the first time and it surprisingly didn't take that long. I sat in my bed and thought about the day.
Bella arrived home about two hours after I did.
"How did it go?" I asked her even though I could clearly see the smile plastered on her face.
"It went ok." She said trying to stifle her happiness.
"Yeah yeah. So what did you do?" I asked her.
"Well we talked and then he took me to this beautiful meadow and it was just… you know." She babbled as she flopped on her bed.
"Sounds good. So are you two like together now?" I asked hopefully. She nodded and buried her head in her bed with laughter.
"Well done babes. You two should be good together." I encouraged her.
"I hope so." She said as she left the room to get a snack.
…
*Beep beep*
Who the hell could that be this early in the morning? I stretched my head out of the window to see who was calling. Silver Volvo.
"Oh Bella! Your boyfriends here." I sang to her. She smiled and peered out of the window, let out a small laugh and walked out of the bedroom.
"See yah Olli. Oh you want a ride?" She sang from halfway down the stairs.
"Nah im cool. Later Bells." I whispered knowing that there was no way she could hear me.
I watched as she got in his car and drove away to school. I kept smiling happily until my head turned about ninety degrees to the west and saw the ugly old pick-up truck.
I am not showing up to school by myself in that thing. I need a ride and I know just where to get one.
Thoughts?
Where do you think she goes to get a ride?
Reviews please.
