Chapter Nine: Alone EJ's Turn

~School - Parking Lot~ Thursday

EJ's PoV

I parked in are normal spot only today I was alone. I got out of the Rabbit and started heading off to my first class, only paying attention to my feet so that I didn't knock anyone over, if I tripped.

I put a hand out behind as I then walked into someone, I looked up to see Rosalie Hale glaring at me from where I was on the ground. I jumped back up to my feet and then said to her with a smile, "I'm sorry Miss. Hale that I bumped into you, and I wasn't paying that much attention to where I was going as to what I was doing."

Rosalie just glared at me and asked, "So you're going to actually apologizes without your sister to hide behind?"

I rolled my eyes and said, "I would have to say that my little sister acts tougher than she actually is, Miss. Hale."

She just continued to glare at me and I kept my smile, waiting for one of the Cullens to realize that, they could use their power on me. I just smile and then left making sure I brushed my hand against Rosalie's hand. I showed her a knight with armor and then without.

"What was that?" asked both Edward and Rosalie.

I just smiled and continued walking to class.

~Lunch~

I sat down at Maddi's and mine table with my tray of food, and I sighed, it was always weird when Maddi was gone. School would never feel normal unless Maddi was there.

"What are you laughing at Edward?" I heard Alice asked.

"You would think that they were boyfriend and girlfriend not brother and sister," I heard Edward laugh.

I sighed it wasn't the first time that people thought were boyfriend and girlfriend. I rolled my eyes as Edward started to laugh again, no wonder most of his family always looked annoyed with him around, they never understood the constant inside joke.

Edward turned and glared at me, I just gave him a simple smile. Before I wonder what his problem was.

He once again glared at me and I stood up my tray in hand, I paid attention to not only where I was walking and tried not to trip. I sighed as I heard my cell phone start to ring from my jacket pocket. I pulled my phone out and threw my tray into the garage; I looked at the caller id. I looked at the number, it was Maddi.

"What do you want Madds?" I asked, I noticed how board I sound, but it did fit my mood prefect.

"I was wondering what your doing," she answered.

"Seth's gone," I answered.

"Yeah," she said.

"Well then goodbye dear sister," I said, as pressed the 'end' button.

I sighed once again and started to walk away from the garbage can by the Cullen's table, I hated it when they stared at me so openly, and it was like they couldn't try to hide their stares.

"You and your sister aren't perfect either," said Edward, as I passed by.

I stopped and glared at him, "we know that vamp, and you know we don't try to show the world that we are perfect, as we obviously not." It really didn't take a mastermind to know that Maddi and I weren't perfect, especially with our past.

"What did call me?" Edward asked standing up, I noticed that were only had about a centimeter difference in height.

"Do you have problem, Edward Cullen with me and my sister?" I asked.

The rest of the Cullens stood up and were at his side as I finished talking.

"No I do not, but I do want to know if that was you called me," he said.

Oh Gawd, "vamp, short for vampire, who you and your family are," I said, before I tried to walk away. All around me the cafeteria shared glances looking from me to the Cullens whispers erupting everywhere.

Edward reached out and grabbed my arm, it was icy cold angst my skin. "Your not normal either, EJ."

I smiled as he let go of my arm and said, "I know were not normal, the Cullens actually talk to us and were not afraid."

They stared surprised as I walked out of the cafeteria a smile still on my face.

~Parking Lot~

I decide to skip Biology, not just because of Edward, but because of what happened to Maddi yesterday, human blood to us was disgusting, sickening. So that was why I sat here in the parking lot now talking to my Hannah.

Hannah, Hannah to me was Seth to Maddi she was mine, as Seth was Maddi's. We were I guess boyfriend and girlfriend, but more in other ways and less in other ways too. Are relationship is hard, I always knew Hannah she was only a year younger then me, but she had become more a few years ago.

I sighed, I and Hannah came together the same time Seth and Maddi had. For us it was a bit more awkward and weird, but it was still better than Maddi and Seth.

"What's wrong EJ?" asked Hannah.

"Nothing, just thinking," I answered.

"Do you want me to come over after school?" she asked.

"No, I'll be able to see you tomorrow, I'm going to have to go home and make sure Maddi is better," I said.

"But I haven't seen her in so long I could come and help out. I miss her, EJ."

I sighed she always seemed to get her way with me, not that I mined it just sometimes complicated things. "Fine just don't bring Lydia and Zack over I don't want to get sick again."

"But their not sick EJ," said Hannah, I knew she was confused.

"No it's not that, I just don't want to get a headache over them, Han. You know how they can be," I said.

"Why would I want to bring them over, they give me headache thinking about them," she said. I smile as I could hear the own smile in her voice.

I heard the bell for classes off in the distance and sighed, "I'll see you later, Love."

"Love you too," she whispered, before we both hung up.

~Home~

"Hannah's going to be coming over," I said, as I walked into the living room, only to see Maddi lying on Seth chest asleep, Seth had his arm wrapped around Maddi and was also asleep.

"Okay then," I said, walking out of the room.

I waited in the kitchen for Hannah to come; I only had to wait about 15 minutes, before I heard a knock on the front door. I got up and answered it, "hey," I whispered, before I let her in, "their sleeping in the living room."

"Oh, so how was your day?" she asked, as she walked into the kitchen with me.

"Fine boring, mostly. It's always like that when Madds not there," I said, as I walked over and wrapped my arm around her waist, and then buried my head into her hair.

"Mine was boring too; it feels like there's never anything going on in La Push."

"I don't find a lot of things over in La Push boring," I said, as my lips touched her neck.

"Are you sure about that Edward Swan," she asked, as she turned around.

I grabbed her wrists and just smiled at her before I pressed my lips to hers.
