An Impossible Reality
Chapter 10- OMG it's Jason!
Disclaimer- Therapy was going well until a certain SOMEONE mentioned twilight and how I don't own it so the depression relapsed so I am screwed right now and starting anew.
Alix POV
As I sat there waiting for Jake to arrive I couldn't shake the feeling he was up to something. I mean, why would it take him a half hour when he pushes the speed limit on a regular basis to meet me? And that gets him here in like 10 or 15 minutes. I decided to let it go and make some popcorn. Something my friend Jess from back home used to say, 'Why smoke when you can eat popcorn?' I smiled at the fond memory and raided the cupboards.
I found it after 5 minutes of searching, I found it. She buys it all the time but I never ate it unless I was watching a movie at home. I read the instructions for the best microwave popcorn in the world (Butterkist) and placed it in the microwave for 4 minutes.
While I waited I picked up a girls magazine and began laughing at excessive use of the words 'dished' and 'spilled'. It was so repetitive but I love the magazine and I always enter the competitions for meaningless crap ha-ha. My head shot up and I heard the popping of popcorn. I turned the page and scanned through the stuff about some guy and his co-star supposedly dating. What a load of bull! Half the times they don't even like each other but stay out with each other for publicity.
The microwave began blaring that insipid beeping sound and I opened the microwave, letting the sweet and buttery aroma of cinema style popcorn fill the room. I ripped open the packet and poured it into the biggest bowl I could find. I popped one piece into my mind when I saw a guy in front of my house with a baseball bat and a... Jason mask? Fuck! I ran to my pan cupboard and grabbed the first one I could grab and it happened to be one of our biggest ones.
I made sure I had my cell in my hand for when I clonked him around the head so I could call Jake to hurry the fuck up and get help. The door creaked open and I knew that Jake was right about the whole 'not locking the door is dangerous' thing, that made me curse internally that he was right.
The footsteps were heavy and they crept closer and around the house looking for me. I don't want to die yet, at least give me my trip with Edward first?
The kitchen door opened and my heart began to race. This was it. The moment of truth, could I do it with enough force to knock him out? I hoped so as when I saw his shadow very dark and potent next to the cupboard I was hiding behind. I took a silent breath and shot out, pan in hand, and hit him right on his nose.
He paused and slumped to the floor in a really heavy pile. I instantly pulled out my mobile and dialled Jacob's number. I waited for the call to connect and expected to have to wait for him to pull over but instead I didn't just hear the monotonous connecting sound, I heard the song of Jacob's ringtone. I slowly turned to look at the unconscious guy collapsed on my kitchen floor. I listened to the lyrics and it was Cheap Tricks, I want you to want me... hmm I wonder who that is about? Could he be any more obvious?
I had to check if it was him or some sicko that stole his phone or something, I have read about some small town mass murderers and I do not want to be some loners kill. I hooked my fingers under the hockey mask he was sporting and yanked it off of his face.
! Not only that it WAS Jacob, but he had a bloody nose. I grabbed the sleeve of my shirt and covered my nose so I wouldn't smell his blood.
I ran to the sink and filled up a jug of water. I wasn't sure how to do this so I tried my best to aim for his head and just tipped the water on him, hoping to wake him and wash away some of the blood smell. It smelt like rust and salt and they were not pleasant mixed together, I should know.
His eyes suddenly shot open and he clutched his nose. "Alix! Crap you scared the hell out of me with that damn pan. That fucking killed!" he groaned and I scoffed.
"I scared you?! You're the one who frigging came at me like it was Friday the frigging 13th!" I said in one breath, taking a deep one and instantly regretting it and running to the sink. "Shit, Jake, clean up your dang nose I can smell it from here." I complained and he nodded grabbing a wipe from the baby wipe dispenser my mum insisted on us having when we moved in. I heard the bin open and close so I took my head out of the sink.
"Wow, good girl gained a potty mouth. What an improvement." He chuckled and I tossed an orange at his fat head, hitting him square in the head.
I turned and saw him looking as normal as always, his nose didn't even look like it was injured 5 minutes ago. "Yeah I know. I have been around some bad influences lately." He frowned and I couldn't help but apologise. "Sorry." I sighed. "I am kind of grumpy right now, blood does that to me. That is kind of the reason I am here at this time, I got sent home since we were blood typing in biology. I don't like blood, it reeks." I wrinkled my nose and he laughed. "So... what inspired your scary attire?" I giggled waving my hand at his baggy jacket and hockey mask on the floor over there.
"I wanted to teach you a lesson. You always leave your door unlocked so I decided it was time to scare you into being safer." Then he muttered something like 'safer than the guys you seem to take interest in.'
"What was that last part?" I asked and he shook his head.
"Nothing." I nodded and decided to let it go. "So what we doing today?" I smirked evilly and grabbed his hand to drag him into the living room.
"Movies." I sung, he smiled and then I shook my head a waved my index finger in a 'no' kind of fashion. "No, I was going to let you pick some movies but now, it is going to be full blown, heavy loaded kid's movies." He groaned and headed for the door. I sniffled and he froze. "Would you leave me like this Jake?" I fake cried and he turned back around to see me beaming in a triumphant smile.
"So what are you going to torture me with?"
I giggled and skipped over to my DVD case. "Well, my all time favourites are the High School Musical Trilogy, The Hannah Montana Movie and last but not least, The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl!" he was now hitting himself in the face with a pillow at his blatant stupidity . "Oh come on you big baby! It won't be that bad." I giggled as I grabbed the pop corn and came into the room to see him staring into space.
Time for some minor pay back that he may enjoy. I snuck up beside him and leaned close to his face, still nothing. I kissed him lightly on the cheek and he fell off the sofa. HA! "What the-"
"Movie time!" I piped up as I pressed play on the DVD and settled back with the blanket. "You getting on the sofa or are you going to burn a hole in my floor." I joked; I liked to pick at his unnatural body heat.
He chuckled at my phrase that I had begun to use more often and nodded. He leapt off the floor and lay on the sofa with me and placed his HUGE feet in my lap. "Jake? I would rather not have your sweaty feet on my lap thank you." I giggled and he nodded resettling himself so he sat comfortably, us both leaning on each other a little.
The credits came on for the Hannah Montana movie and I laughed at jakes frozen horrified expression. "So... much... pink... so... much... girly stuff. Scarred for life Alix, I am scarred for life." He shuddered and looked at me biting my lip so hard to stop myself from bursting out laughing at the world's funniest outburst I thought it might bleed. "It's not funny! The pack is gonna see-" and then just stopped talking.
"What?"
"Nothing, I tend to say too much when I am around you." He sighed. Is this my thing for guys? Make them speak their minds? SWEET!
"Last phase of torture before you are off the hook my friend." I smiled and patted his head.
"This is the last time I try to save your ass." He muttered and threw a piece of popcorn at him.
"My arse is perfectly fine FYI. You should know you check it out every 2 minutes." I commented glancing over my shoulder from my crouched position in front of the DVD player. He was staring right at my bum. Typical. He blushed wildly and looked at the nearest cushion. Ha, guys are so easy.
I hopped next to him and snuggled into the pillow wrapping the blanket around me, I don't remember how far we got into the film before I conked out, and it couldn't have been long before him.
I woke to feel clammy and sticky and warm and I looked to see me pinned to Jacob's chest like the night after my party. Mum. I looked at the extra blanket placed on us and the little space we had was tight and covered. I tapped his arm and he didn't stir. Frigging heavy sleeper. "WAKE UP!" I heard my sister scream, scaring me and Jacob fully awake.
"Jen?" I gasped and struggled to get out of the tortilla wrap my own mother had gladly placed me in. When I finally started to get free she cringed and turned around.
"I don't want to see what you two did. I just want you to know it's wrong and I disapprove completely." She hollered and then I burst out laughing, I couldn't help it. She thought I had sex with someone who's 14 going on 15?! That is absurd a) because if I was going to I certainly wouldn't do this in my living room, b) I would have told her if I was and c) I'm not in love with him, so I would NEVER do it if it was meaningless. I believe in this act being sacred and loving not just a thrust or two then jump ship. "What is so funny!?"
"You think... you think I slept with Jacob?!" I boomed with laughter, trying incredibly hard to get words out of my mouth whilst I laughed but that was a next to impossible task. "GOD no! No offence to Jakers over here but, I don't like him like that." I heard him huff with no doubt pure frustration to the fact that he can't seem to make me 'want him'. Yes I did just quote his ring tone.
"Oh, it just... never mind I have just been kind of moody lately." She admitted, rubbing the back of her neck. She shouldn't be though since it is her birthday two days.
"You shouldn't be sister. It is your birthday in two days so you should be on top of the world, since you are turning 22. You are young, have fun!" I encouraged as I finally broke free of being strapped to boiling hot guy. "Wow this room is cold." I muttered and Jen shook her head.
"You are so strange Alix. I am just passing through to check how you all are." She looked at Jacob and glared a little. "Oh and you, if you hurt her I will seriously kill you. See you." And then she skipped upstairs.
"OMG I have just been threatened." He feigned a camp voice and smacked his hands around his mouth letting out a very fake gasp. I laughed and set heavily next to him and looked to my side. He was just staring at me. "What?" I asked, and he shook his head.
"Nothing. I just didn't know you had a sister."
"I thought you saw her on the day I met you."
"Was that her, I just thought she was someone you knew. You two look nothing alike, and you both act differently too."
"Why thank you Jakey." I realised something. Not only was it really late and the movie had been over for hours, that my mum was an evil little match maker that needed to be taught a lesson. "You should go it's getting late." He nodded and we stood together. I looked at him and he pulled me into a tight squeeze of a hug. "Okaaay." I smiled.
"Just in case I don't see you for a while."
"Dude, I am coming to the beach on rez on Saturday. Chill. You'll see me." He beamed at me a released me from his bear trap of a hug. "Oh, but don't act all like-you-love-me when I am there though since I think Mike will most likely try to kill you if you do, you should have the seen the glares and awkward situation I was in earlier. Mike thought I got off with Edward." His eyes widened in shock, wait what does that mean over here? "I mean that in the English sense. It means make-out. We didn't just so you know." He let out the breath he hitched when I said 'got off' and walked to the door.
"Don't forget to lock it!" he called, laughing loudly at how scared I was.
"Don't forget to get screwed!" I called in return and then I was alone. Now was the time.
Lynn POV (it's my mum!)
I could have sworn I just heard yelling from downstairs but I can never be sure in this house, I swear I have started seeing things. Then I was definitely sure I heard a booming laughter of Alix, but then again, the crazy levels have risen with me since our move to rainy Forks. I thought Manchester was bad, this is ten times worse and Alix seemed to notice this too, but all of a sudden she has perked up. Maybe it was Jacob.
A knock came to the door to the study I spent my time in reading my books. "Mum?" I heard Alix call.
"Come in." I smiled with the smile very noticeable in my voice. She opened the door and looked really annoyed.
"Do you mind explaining me why I was wrapped like a tortilla wrap to Jacob Black's chest?" I laughed cheekily and her glare intensified. "It isn't funny, Jen thought he and I... got close." I couldn't believe that Jen thought that, I wouldn't have. But then again, she hadn't been around for long she may have assumed that Alix had a change of character.
"Oh I am sorry love. I just thought you two looked so cosy together, that maybe you liked him like that. I was just trying to speed along the process." Her mouth dropped and if she wasn't my daughter I could have sworn she debating shooting me.
"But mum, that is just it. I don't like him like that, I like someone else." She gasped and put her hand to her mouth to cover it.
"Really, who is it? That Mike kid or Eric? Tyler Crowley right?" she shook her head.
"No mum, it's just... nobody. It really doesn't matter." It was someone she was either embarrassed of, or embarrassed to like him and let people know. I decided to go through name after name.
"Daniel? Craig? Emmett? Jasper? Edward Cullen?" she tensed and looked down. "Honey, do you like Edward Cullen?" She nodded slightly then looked at me with a huge blush on her cheeks. "Oh my baby has a crush. Does he like you?"
"I don't know, look all I came in here to do was to tell you not to meddle. So don't meddle mother." And with that my baby left. She was so defensive when her feelings were called into check when we left England. I think she lost her openness trying to find a way to look relatively normal and not an open book. I will have to quiz people at her school when they come into the shop.
Alix POV
Trust me to get the nosiest and most meddling mother in the entire universe. That was so embarrassing and it was just me and her, let alone when she is in her shop. I know for a fact she is going to quiz the kids at school for the dirty details even though there is absolutely nothing to tell.
I opened the door to my room and noticed my sister sitting there, in tears. "Jen? What's wrong?" I asked I ran to my bed and sat next to her.
"Alix, there is a reason why I was so angry when I thought you two had done it." I nodded for her to go on though I was pretty sure I could piece it all together. "I am pregnant Alix. And I don't know what to do. I'm not sure if I'm ready."
I pulled her into a hug and she slowly responded to it. "Jen, if you decide to keep it, then I will be with you every step of the way. I would to be an auntie." I smiled and I saw she did too once I pulled back. "Who is the dad?" I asked and she looked to her side.
"Well, I have kind of been dating someone since we got here. We met one day in England and it just went on to us moving here and we hit it off. I don't whether he will stay or not, that is why I don't know what to do." She had begun to cry at this point.
"Jen, look! You are stronger than this. If he doesn't want you, or this baby, then more fool him. We can do it without him although it would be tremendously helpful if he was here." She nodded and hugged me again. "You just have to tell him next Jen, mum can wait but if he is the last to know then he will seriously explode at you." She nodded and wiped her eyes.
"Thanks Alix. You always make me feel better." She stood up and straightened out her outfit. "I will go tell him now." She kissed my cheek and walked out of the door to go tell her boyfriend that she was carrying his child. I just hoped it would go down well and he would be a total prick.
I changed into my biggest oversized tee-shirt and crawled into my bed. I was so tired. The rumour with cat naps is that you become really lively and awake but with me, it just makes me knackered and out of it. I was out like a light to dream away my night.
Edward POV
I was just getting ready to leave the house and go to see Alix sleep, creepy in some senses but to me it was fascinating, when Emmett appeared in front of me. "Going to go be a stalker?" he chuckled and I glared. I pushed past him and left the house without even a response. He didn't deserve it with his childishness. 'Don't do anything I wouldn't do little brother... on second thought, do everything I wouldn't do' even when I am out of hearing rage of his irritating speeches his brain can still get to me. Why can't he be the one mind I can't read, his sordid and filthy thoughts would be kept to him but life is never that lucky.
I was at her house in a matter of seconds and I could hear her sister just leaving Alix's room. 'I cannot believe I am fucking pregnant. Dang this is messed up, he will hate me I know he will.' Wow, these people are different than most people. In a small town like this I have never heard of anyone who got pregnant out of marriage. New times, new day's right?
I climbed up into the tree outside of her window and saw her sleeping. Her heartbeat was slowing down till it was at a sleeping speed. She seemed so peaceful. I climbed into her room and her scent filled my dead lungs, my throat burned but I fought back the urge of my nature.
She rolled over to face the other side of the wall and I just sat in her computer chair and watched her chest go up and down, up and down in a rhythmic and hypnotic motion. Sleep was so strange to since I haven't done it for over 80 years. Then it went horribly wrong.
The smile that was on her face of her newly acquired auntie status faded and she looked worried, and afraid. I wanted to badly to hold her and make her feel better but I knew that I could never make her feel better, we were not meant to be. From two separate words so no matter how strong a bond we could ever form it would be going against nature.
She cringed to the side and covered her face before showing it again and she then titled her chin up and shuddered in her dream. Her long brown and silky hair spread out in wild disarray over her soft white pillow. Suddenly her head shot to the side and her hand clutched her jaw in distress, letting out a soft but painful whimper into her empty bedroom. What on earth was dreaming about?
Just when the watching of her writhe in fake pain could be even worse I saw her head that had gone back to facing the ceiling tilt ever so slightly to one side, exposing her pulse and jugular vein. Her eyes were shut together so tight it was forming wrinkles on her eye lids. Then she let out an ear splitting scream and shot up in her bed. Eyes wide open. Gasping for air. Clutching her neck. Heart racing a mile a minute.
She looked right at me and for a moment I assumed I was caught but she couldn't see me and couldn't be sure whether she was just imagining me. I saw her hand reach out for her lamp and she fiddled with it for a few moments before peeling her gaze from me to light her room and illuminate my face. I saw this as my chance to hider and continue watching when she had gone back to sleep.
Her face turned puzzled and she shook her head at her 'craziness' for 'imagining' me. I didn't want her to doubt herself but it needed to be done since she doesn't know, nor will she ever know what I am and will just call someone to arrest me. From what I have learned of her behaviour she wouldn't give it a second thought.
"You are losing it Alix." She murmured before snuggling back into her comforter and settling in for another round of sleep. "Dream a better dream."
Once I was sure that it was safe again I decided to go back to sit in her chair. Her smile had returned and she was really relaxing herself from the evident nightmare she had just experienced. But from the lack of her mother coming in to check on her, she had done this before.
I was beginning to notice the light rising in from her window to her room and decided it was time to leave, but then something startlingly wonderful happened. "Edward..." she whispered in her sleep, a normal human wouldn't have been able to notice what she said but I heard it crystal clear. She was... dreaming about me? "Edward... I... love you."
After that I left to change. She loved me. As I loved her. I cannot believe how reckless I am being with a human's life and soul but... I feel a pull to her. Life, and love is the most complicated thing to be in and I honestly don't think I have ever been happier.
