Chapter 10
Hey here is the next chapter. I'm having a totally hard time of coming up with a present, so I hope you are ok with the present I picked. My friends didn't agree so…… sorry Bri and Chanel!! Now I'm gonna shut up so you can read my up date.
Cali- P.O.V.
I was heading to my class after lunch when I was stopped and thrown up against the locker. Facing me was a totally pissed off Audrey and Grant.
"Here is the plan bitch. You are going to leave Mathew alone so I can have him. Because he is mine, then you can do what ever you want or, me and my connections are going to screw with your family so that your brothers end up in the hospital. Got it?" I stared at her. EDWARD!! EDWARD!! PLAESE LISTEN!!
"I'm sorry, what?" I acted like I didn't hear her. She was so stupid she repeated it.
"I'm going to talk to certain people and they know how to make people scarred forever. So unless you don't want your brothers in the hospital permanenteley, back off from Mathew, he is mine!"
"Um…. You do know that it is pronounced per-man-ent-ly? And there is nothing you could do to hurt them. And I'm not going to back off. I like him, he likes me. Get over it. What are you doing here?" I pointed and glared at Grant.
"I'm here so that after you dump Mathew you go out with me. Because I know you want to." He tried to sound seductive.
"Oh yah grant. I love you, I need you." He actually bought it. "I'm kidding dumb ass." With that Grant slapped me across the face and Audrey socked me in the face and in the stomach. I slid down the lockers and held my stomach and face in pain.
"Remember what I said bitch." They both walked away. I got up and headed to my next class. I felt the bruise creep up on my face. I entered the class. Audrey stared me down as I walked past her. I took my seat, as I did Mathew walked in. he looked at me and smiled. So did I. Mathew started to walk towards our desk when Audrey stopped him.
"Mathew. I heard you were giving a special girl a present today. You really didn't have to. You don't have to give me presents for me to know that I'm special." She was twirling her hair.
"Actually you aren't the special girl that is getting the gift. And I would never give you presents." She looked hurt. He walked away from her. She looked at me and glared. She mouthed 'remember what I said. And back off.' I only smiled. I knew that she couldn't do any real damage.
"Cali? Caaalii?" I looked at Mathew. Oh Em Gee. He was HOTT!! He was wearing tight blue jeans, and a normal fitting black shirt. The whole ensemble really brought out his blue eyes.
"Yes?" he looked at me confused.
"Are you ok? You seem a little off. Are you that upset that I actually did get you some thing? It wasn't that expensive." I smiled. HE CARES!! I can't believe that he actually wants to know how I feel!! EEP!! SHUT UP EDWARD I KNOW YOU ARE LAUGHING!!
"I'm fine. Audrey is driving me up a wall again." He rolled his eyes and put his backpack on the table and unzipped it.
"Close your eyes and hold out your hand. Don't even think about peeking Cali Cullen." I did as I was told. I felt the weight if a rectangle box in my hand. I opened my eyes to see a skinny long box in my hands. I looked up to see him smiling at me. I looked down at the box the back up.
"How expensive was this?" I eyed him carefully.
"It wasn't that bad. Now shut up and open it." I looked around to see that his friends were watching us, and Audrey and her cronies were eyeing us carefully. I looked down at the box. I opened it carefully. Inside was a bracelet with small pink diamonds. I pulled it out of the box. I looked at Mathew, he had this sly smile on.
"Do you like it?" I looked at him.
"Like it…. I LOVE it!! But those better be fake diamonds." I accused. He rolled his eyes.
"I'm glad you like it. And yes they are fake but they still represent your birthstone. Happy late B-Day." I smiled at the bracelet. I took him in a hug and he hugged me back. But when I hugged him it was different from when I hugged my family. I felt something, like a spark. You know like when you touch a doorknob or something. I stepped back and he helped me put my bracelet on. I blushed a little and he laughed. One of his friends came up behind him and whispered something in his ear only causing Mathew to sock him. The teacher then walked in.
(Mathew is in normal and Cali is in bold.)
So the dance this Friday….
Yes, I'm still going with you. But what about it?
So if I'm not pickin you up, are we meetin somewhere?
To save you from my protective bro's and me from my insane sisters lets meet inside by…… the punch bowl?
Sure…. Why do I need to be saved from your brothers? They seem nice enough. I mean your brother rushed you to the hospital and your other brother helped beat the crap out of Grant.
Well….. They would bombard you with questions and stalk us.
Oh… ok.
We didn't talk for the rest of the period. I was too preoccupied by my bracelet to pay attention too class. Next thing I knew there was a tapping on my back.
"Hey. I know you like it but, do you really like it enough to not notice the bell." I looked around and started to laugh.
"Apparently. Thank you, I really like it." I got up from my seat and headed out the door to see Bella leaning up against the lockers.
"Bella, can we talk about this at home? I really don't want to repeat the story more then three times." She didn't take her eyes from Mathew.
"Cali. I need to talk to you about some thing. I can get you a late pass." I looked at Mathew and smiled.
"I'll catch up with you." He smiled at both of us and walked away. Bella grabbed my arm and dragged me into an unoccupied bathroom and locked the door.
"Edward told me exactly what that vial girl said. Well there is nothing that those people can do to us but, if they do something, we might have to leave. I saw that we are leaving because of her. (A.N. Bella's power is that she can absorb powers if she chooses and can choose to get rid of them.) So I need you to be careful." I nodded.
"I never did any thing to her except- wait, did you see when we would leave?" I didn't want to move. I really did like Mathew.
"Well, I think we had a year, I'm not to sure." I nodded.
"Shit. I need to get to class." She nodded and handed me a slip. We hugged and headed our separate ways. I walked into class, handed my teacher my slip and took my seat next to Mathew.
"Hey? Is every thing ok?" he started to whisper.
"Yah. Bella needed to tell me something about home. But it's ok. We are going to figure it out." He only nodded.
"Well class, today we are going to watch a movie….. Romeo and Juliet." Every one groaned. I didn't and neither did Mathew.
"Wow. A guy actually looking forward to watching a romance." He nudged me with his shoulder.
"Ow. You are strong, man you feel like stone."
"I'm offended." I put my hand to my chest and acted hurt. "That is no way to behave toward a girl." He rolled his eyes still rubbing his hand. "Sorry about your hand. Like I told you before, I'm pretty strong." He laughed. The lights started to dim and the credits started to roll for the beginning of the movie. The first scene started and I was hooked. I occasionally looked to my left to catch Mathew either looking at the TV, me or catch him looking away from me. The bell rang and I got up only to have my books knocked out of my hands and onto the floor.
"Oops. Sorry. Oh hi Mathew." She tried to flirt with him but he didn't even catch it because he was helping me with my books.
"Thanks." He only nodded and left so did I.
"OH MY GOD!! CALI LET ME SEE THE BRACELET!! AHH!!" wow.
"Alice. Chill axe!! It's a piece of jewelry that I love." And will never take off
"Aww….. It matches the necklace that Emmett and I got you!!" With that Alice shrieked. Great now she had another reason to pester me about it.
"How did he know what to get? Do you think he knew that they would- wait. How did he know that, that was your birthstone?" I swear Alice was going a mile a minute.
"I have no idea how he knew. But he noticed my necklace yesterday and I told him that the gem was my birthstone. I guess he remembered. That's all." We were sitting in my room. I got lucky and road home with Edward and Bella. They wanted to wait until we got home, and Edward knew that I had no intentions of telling the guys. So here we were sitting in my room. Alice was sitting on my desk chair, Bella against the wall, next to Esme and Rosalie sat across from me on my bed. They ambushed me with questions, I answered them all while Meadow laid in my lap and I rubbed her between her ears.
"Quick question. Bella? What is Edward thinking right now?" she concentrated. She stalked out of the room. From downstairs I heard three individual slaps. She entered the room with a smile on her face.
"I also told them that if they continue to listen that, they would be stuck on the couch for a month. But of course Emmett had to be a smart ass and say that 'we stay up all night. How is that going to be an issue?' of course Jasper and Edward slapped him in the back of he head so I said. 'Oh. Good point Emmett. If you continue to listen then you will stay on the couch and us girls will go into our rooms and stay there from 10 o' clock until the next morning. For two months.'" Every one started to laugh.
"Wait. Was Carlisle listening?" Esme sounded like if he was he would get a serious talking to.
"No. He was in his study." Esme relaxed at this.
"Ok. Next question. How do you feel about him?" I looked at Alice like she was insane. "Do you like him? As in crush or more?" I continued to look at Meadow's sleeping body.
"I don't really know. I mean that I deffinatly like him more then a friend. But I'm not sure how much I like him. Ugh…… so if he asked me out I would deffinatly say yes but I don't know how much I like him." All of a sudden the door fell open and in fell Emmett.
"Some ones sleepin on the couch. Some ones sleepin on the couch!!" Bella, Alice and I sang.
"Emmett? I hope you know that for the next TWO count 'em TWO months without-"
"STOP!! EW!! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT WHAT MY PARENTS DO WHILE I SLEEP!!"Every body started to laugh except me Emmett and Rosalie. I was somewhat twitching.
"But Rose." He started to whine. "She is my daughter as much as she is yours. I think I have a right to know."
"Ok. Do you really want to know about the girl drama she goes through, certain things that she needs to talk about like-"
"OK!! The girl drama thing, she is your daughter. Sports and video games she is mine, every thing in between she is ours." With that he sulked out of the room.
"OH! And your still on the couch."
"I have home work so every one out!" I pushed (or at least tried to) every one out of the room. I climbed onto my bed and pulled put my homework. It was about 8 30 when I woke up too see that my homework was completed. I started to toy with my bracelet when there was a knock at my door.
"Cali honey? I made you supper." I sat up in my bed too see Esme with a tray of food for me.
"Thank you Esme." She put the tray in front of me and sat down.
"I know that you really don't want to talk about it but the last time we had issues like this was 6 years ago with Bella and Edward. So…. What is going on with you and this boy?? You don't have to tell me though."
"I really don't know. But when he gave me the bracelet I hugged him and I felt a spark. At least I think I did." She smiled.
"Aww…. Honey. So you guys are going to the dance?" I nodded.
"And so that the guys, mainly Emmett, don't do any thing that I will kill them for we are going to meet in the dance." This time she nodded. She got up from my bed and kissed my forehead.
"Ok honey. Eat and then go to bed ok?" I nodded. This was going to be a weird week.
Friday Night.
"Cali! Come out of the bathroom before I get Jasper to knock it down!! You look hot!" it was pretty weird when your aunt calls you hot. For the dance I was being forced to go as a well……. Vampire. Not like a Dracula thing but like a vampire Goth thing. I found it like a very bad cliché. It was Alice's idea.
"Fine I'm coming. I feel stupid though. I mean if I wanted to go as a vampire I could have dressed in normal clothes." I stepped out. My hair was dyed black with red bangs. I had black make up, and my out fit was a red and black dress. It was actually very pretty, tight and somewhat revealing. (A.N. sorry I don't have pictures of any of this. Please like make something up in your mind…) I had to admit. I deffinatly looked hot.
"Aww… My little vampire."
"Shut up mom." Rosalie and Emmett were going as a corps bride couple thing. Alice and Jasper as Thumbelina and the Prince Cornelius. (A.N. I think that's the name of the price but I'm not 100 sure. Tell me if I'm wrong) Then Edward and Bella as Prince Charming and Cinderella. (A.N. TEEHEE!! How funny was that, that I made Edward prince charming??) We piled into the cars after Esme insisted on pictures, I refused to smile but lucky me Bella manipulated me into smiling. We pulled into the school and dashed out until I felt some one pulling on my arm.
"Where do you think your going speedy Gonzalez?" I turned around to see a confused Emmett.
"Ugh…. I wanted to get inside cause I'm freezing my ass off thanks to Alice." Thank lord my father is so slow or else he would have not believed me. (Oh. And slowly I was losing my human ness.) but he didn't completely know that. So I rush inside and saw a figure by the punch bowl. He turned around. He was dressed as Count Dracula. He didn't look scary but HOT!
"Wow. You look great." I blushed.
"Thanks. You don't look so bad your self count." He smiled at my joke. He lifted his arm out for me to take so we could dance.
"I'm not much of a dancer. My sisters tease me all the time. I look really stupid."
"Don't worry. You can't be any worse then I am." I smiled. We made it to the middle of the dance floor and let the music take us. Shake it by Metro Station Started to play.
I'll take you home if you don't leave me at the front door.
Your body's cold but girl were getting so warm.
And I was thinking of ways that I could get inside.
Tonight your falling in love
The feelings stirring me up.
I could feel the distance between us getting smaller and smaller.
Now if she does it like this will you do it like that
Now if she touches like this will you touch her right back
Now if she moves like this will you move it like that
I could feel his breath on my neck as we continued to dance as the music continued. I could feel our bodies doing what the music said and well shook it.
Your lips tremble but your eyes are in a straight stare
Your on the bed but your clothes are laying right there
And I was thinking of places that I could hide
Tonight your falling in love
The feelings stirring me up.
From the corner of my eyes I saw my family or at least the female part staring at us. They started to laugh at me. They so were going to get it. I looked around and saw that we were in our own circle. Other students decided to give us room. I saw Audrey glaring at us. Her and her date decided to try to get in the circle with us but for some reason the other students wouldn't let them.
I saw you dancing and I couldn't get you off my mind.
(I could tell that you could tell that I was taking my time.)
I was thinking of ways that you would stay and be mine.
(You're body's shaking, turn me on, so I can turn out the lights.)
At that point we were so hopelessly lost in the music that I didn't notice that we were unbelievably close and that the girls stared at me with envy in their eyes.
Now if she does it like this will you do it like that
Now if she touches like this will you touch her right back
Now if she moves it like this will you move it like that. (come on)
We continued like this until the end of the song. I turned to face him to see that he was red from dancing.
"Lets get some punch!" I yelled over the speakers. He nodded and lead me to the bowl.
"I thought you said that you couldn't dance. I thought you were really good." I blushed at the comment. The rest of the dance was uneventful. My family never approached us. THANK GOD!!
It was the end of the dance when the D.J. came on the speakers.
"Hey all you monsters out there. It's our last song of the night so guys grab your gals and hit the dance floor." Mathew turned to me.
"Would you like to dance with me?" I nodded. I had a feeling that this was going to be good. We got to the center of the dance floor. I saw Rosalie and Emmett more in the back, Alice and Jasper a yard or two farther away from us, and Edward and Bella were more in the front.
When I see your smile
Tears run done my face
I can't replace.
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks threw my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one.
My arms were wrapped around his neck and his arms rested at my waist. I could feel the vibrations of him humming along with the song.
I will never let you fall.
I'll stand up with you forever.
I'll be there for you through it all even if saving you sends me to heaven.
He was singing along with the words. Almost as if he were singing them to me. I saw that Bella and Edward were so close they were like cuddling. (A.N. I sooooo thought that Guardian Angle by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus was a Edward and Bella song.)
Its ok. Its ok. Its ok
Seasons are changing and waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us.
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one.
I rested my head on his chest and he didn't seem to mind this at all. He rested his chin on my head.
I will never let you fallI'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all even if saving you sends me to heaven.
Cause you're my you're my, my, my true love
My whole heart please don't throw that away
He sang the words in my ear and I could hear the meaning in his voice. I could tell what he was really saying. At least I thought I did and I hope he was saying what I want to say to him.
Cause I'm there for youPlease don't walk away and please tell me you'll stay!!
Yah!! Woa!! Stay!! Woa!!
He took my hands off his neck took one of my hands and twirled me around.
Use me as you will pull my strings just for a thrill And I know I'll be okThough my skies are turning gray.
He pulled me back into him and we continued to sway.
I will never let you fall.
I'll stand up with you forever!
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven.
I will never let you fall.
I'll stand up with you forever!
I'll be there for you through it all
even if saving you sends me to heaven.
The music started to fade in the background. As the music faded Mathew's face leaned into mine until our faces were centimeters apart. I never saw this coming as he leaned in closer.
TEEHEE!! I bet you hate me for stopping there. So…. should I have them kiss or not?? Oh and I did this update so soon since the last one took me a week to come up with I wrote this so you won't hate me!! R/R!! I LOVE IT WHEN YOU DO!!
