Enjoy!!!
We arrived to the horrible house minutes later. I was already on guard and with headache. The ride was tense with Rosalie in the car, but Emmett was doing his best to keep everyone happy and entertained. This involved going off roading.
One piece of advice: Don't let Emmett do this with you in the car if you get car sick (I'm pretty sure Jasper turned green).
In the end, Rosalie ended up hitting him upside the head. He stopped and turned on to the actual road. With a huff, of course.
I climbed out of the car with Jasper's keys in hand (I grabbed them out of his pocket when his eyes were closed on he was focusing on not being sick).
I ran to our car and dove in the drivers seat. I knew people were watching me. I wanted Jasper to hurry up. But no. He stumbled out of the Jeep, looking like he was going to be sick. I turned to Alice and she nodded in approval of my plan. I sped out of there as fast as possible.
I felt free at that moment. Watching my speed climb and the world around me blur. I don't get the chance to drive often anymore, but the moments that I do, are absolutely amazing. At that moment, I realized I needed to do that more often, not just drive, but actually feel free. Cars don't get me away from all of my problems though, it's the adrenaline. The realization of doing something dangerous. It separates me from the world. Places me out of my problems. Now if I drove more often, it would get dull. You're enclosed in a big thing of metal. A place where you can hear clearly. Where, a ghost can contact you. Not my kind of place these days.
I was thinking of things I could do, when I realized I had already left city limits. I turned around and slowly went back into town. No sense in making town gossip. The ladies would have a field day with the new chief of police speeding in our very own streets. And then I would get busted for driving.
I pulled into the driveway and went upstairs. Once in my room I threw on some sweats and tried to start my homework. It was hard to focus with all of the information I gained earlier, and I was still trying to figure out how to free myself more often.
I pushed away those thoughts and told myself to get back to them after homework.
I finished homework soon after I began to focus. Now being able to think about everything, I decided to focus on my own problems, and instead of the four other teenagers living here with powers of their own. I grabbed a notebook and let my thoughts wander. I was still thinking, when I felt that familiar sensation. I looked over my shoulder and saw Jake sprawled out on my bed.
"Hey," He said with a grin spreading across his face.
"Hey, Jake," I said easily.
"Why are you staring at that blank piece of paper like it has the answer to all on it?" He asked.
"I'm trying to think of ways to... make my life more exciting," I said carefully.
"Oh..." He said with a thoughtful look on his face.
I nodded, and turned back to my notebook.
"You could... go cliff jumping at La Push," He suggested.
"Less dangerous?"
"Telling Jasper your pregnant?" He teased.
"Not. Funny."
"Yes, but it would be exciting," He shot back.
"Still not funny," I said seriously.
"Getting pregnant?" He asked.
I threw my pillow at him.
"That's not nice," He pouted.
"You didn't even feel it!" I exclaimed.
"It's the thought that counts!" He shot back.
"That only applies for presents!" I said back.
"Motorcycle." He said simply.
"What?"
"A motorcycle. For your excitement. I'm betting you want have some place to go to not have to deal with Jasper or your parents or ghosts. So a motorcycle. Gets you away from your family, and you wouldn't be able to hear ghosts, with the wind, and it keeps the adrenaline flowing."
"You're right," I said, settling back into my seat.
"I know,"
"But how do I get one?" I asked.
"Look in the newspaper for a cheap old motorcycle, and I can help fix it up," He answered.
"How would you help fix it up? You're a damn ghost." I said.
"I can tell you what you need to buy, and how to get it. So then when you get everything, I tell you exactly what to do. But, you'd have to do it in the garage. I can't leave the house." He said simply.
"Okay, that sounds good, but why can't you leave the house? I've had ghosts follow me around before."
"I don't know why, I just can't." He said again.
"What the hell was that?!" Jasper yelled crashing into my room.
"I needed some space!" I screamed back.
"Space?! I can give you space! But you shouldn't have left me with those people!" He yelled.
"Those people?! Those people! They are our friends! They have been nothing but kind to us! They took us into their home! They told us we aren't the only freaks in the world! They are not just people," I defended.
"You are not a freak! We are not freaks! They are strangers we cannot trust! They have given us no proof! And there so called home put you through all of that pain! And I couldn't even stop it! I just had to watch you scream. We can't be friends with them if that's the only thing they do to you. I can't let that happen." He yelled. His voice was rough and coarse by the end of his tantrum.
"You were really scared weren't you?" I whispered.
He nodded, fighting back tears.
I walked over to where he was and wrapped my arms around him. He slowly did the same. When we finally released I realized I was crying with him.
"You need to calm down, bub. I can take care of myself." I said slowly.
"I know, but it just worries me. I know what people can do. I know what they feel. And with a certain emotion... they can do anything." He answered.
I hugged him one more time, then took a seat on my bed. It was then I realized Jake wasn't there anymore. He must have left to give us some privacy. That was very sweet of him.
"What are we gonna do?" Jasper asked suddenly.
"Relax. Have fun. Be normal teenagers with them. If their powers are as strong as they say, we should be totally safe." I answered sincerely.
"But how can we trust them?" He asked.
"We just do. If they have any strange feelings when you're around them, tell me before doing anything stupid. Oh, don't count Rosalie though. I think she's just a bitch." I answered.
He chuckled at the ending of my answer. I smiled and wrapped my arms around him.
At that moment I realized I was tired. I released Jasper and scooted back onto my bed and lay down, looking up at the ceiling. Jasper joined me.
I fell asleep thinking about everything that happened today. But the one thing that kept popping up into my thoughts was a day dream. A day dream that featured me on a motorcycle, with my arms wrapped around Edward Cullen, as we road into the horizon.
Okay, I know it wasn't much, even though it took me forever to write. I had the hardest time sitting down to just write. And with summer homework, I wasn't allowed to go on the computer. So.... I'm super sorry, and I hope you liked it. The next chapter should be coming out faster. This one just needed to come out in the open.
