Rhiannon's POV
Nessie, Jacob and Seth all walked into the room. Seth seemed somewhat happier and smiled as he walked in. They didn't mention anything about the dramatic scene that had happened five minutes ago (Okay, so it probably wasn't dramatic to them but it was to me. What if I got caught trying to listen in?). I decided to ask them about their first day to break up the tension.
"How was your first day?"
"Good." Nessie said as she pulled out a packet of crisps from the cupboard and opened them to share with Jacob.
"Great." A similar one worded response from Jacob. As much as Jacob was my friend, I kind of missed the old, smaller Jake. The one that wasn't about two feet taller than me.
"Okay." It seemed that I would have to push them a bit further for any type of conversation to happen. The silence was not comfortable, at all.
"Did you make any friends?"
Nessie and Jake shook their heads but Seth nodded. I wasn't surprised he had made friends quickly, he was such a like-able person. An optimist, Jacob was intimidating and I wasn't sure about Nessie.
"Do you know a girl called Sarah Kaine?"
"Yeah, she's a friend of mine. Her older sister is one of my friends." I didn't need to use my hands to do quotation marks, the tone of my voice made it pretty obvious I did not like her older sister. I saw Nessie and Jacob exchange glances out of the corner of my eye. "How do you know her?"
"I sit next to her in science."
For the rest of the night I stayed up in my room. Even when my parents and Alice and Jasper came home. I was so tired I fell asleep as soon as my head touched my pillow. I love sleep, I can get to sleep so easily. I dreamt about younger Jacob and I playing in a sand pit in a park. It was peaceful, it was happy. Older Jacob seems much more stressed out, I'm glad he has Nessie though. He seems to love her so much, everything he does revolves around her. Still, he should loosen up, any thing that gets him annoyed, he literally starts shaking with anger.
The next day I was sitting in English and doodling in my notebook. Mrs Lee was talking about writing some sort of letter to inform. As usual I was daydreaming about Liam and staring into space – not that Mrs Lee cared, I got high marks, thats what counts right? I had heard somewhere that Liam hadn't asked anyone to the dance. I knew for a fact that Alexis Duckvard had asked him and he had turned her down. I was planning to ask him but I was so nervous about it that I was stuttering on all my words. This morning I had barely said anything to anyone because I was working out how to ask him. What to say. Argh!
After the lesson was over I waited outside the door for Liam to come through. I noticed him immediately. I was pretty nervous, and he was a pretty fast walker so I followed him to our next lesson instead of stopping in. I didn't know how he could see where he was going, his head was down and he was looking at the ground.
"Liam!"
He looked up and around and I had to do a short run to catch up with him. Once I'd caught my breath I looked down at the ground nervously.
"Ermm, I was wondering.."
"Yeah?"
I was about to ask him. Yeah keep telling yourself that. Shut up mental voice number one. I WAS going to ask him, but I lost my nerve and started to stutter.
"W-w-why didn't y-y-you wanna go to the dance with Alexis?"
Damn it! That wasn't the question. Idiot. I mentally slapped my forehead and looked up at him.
"I sit next to her in English, she's not a nice person. At all."
He turned to walk away and my heart plummeted to the ground. I had to do this or I would be alone for the dance.
"Liam wait!" He spun round on his heels to face me. "That wasn't the question."
"It wasn't?"
"No. Would you, err."
He put his hands up as a gesture for me to stop and placed them on my shoulders.
"Do you want to go to the dance with me?" He said and I laughed lightly.
"Sure."
"Where shall I pick you up?"
"You know Sophie's house?" He nodded. "There."
For the rest of the day I argued with the voices in my head. One was telling me to tell everyone, the other was telling me to keep it a secret and surprise Sophie. Hopefully she would have a date by the time the dance came along.
On the night, Alice presented me with a gorgeous red dress. It came just above to knees and the skirt was ruffled. How had she found one that I would like? I am so picky when it comes to clothes. I like simple styles rather than floral prints and big and bold prints.
"Wow Alice! It's beautiful! Where did you find it?"
"In the back of your wardrobe."
I looked back at the dress and thought about it. I had never seen it before and there was no way that mum or dad had gotten it for me. We never go anywhere super amazing. The only parties I go to are the one's that Sophie's parents throw – the only ones Sophie can't manage to get out of. Luckily they don't throw that many so I don't have to buy many dresses. I probably bought it and just didn't remember. "There weren't any dresses that suited either of you at that mall so I hoped that you might have some dresses. Remind me to take you shopping. You do not have enough clothes."
I frowned and looked at my wardrobe. It was larger than the average size wardrobe and my wardrobe looked like it was about to collapse from the weight of all my clothes but apparently, I still don't have enough.
I grabbed my favourite bag and stuffed my silver hair clasp, accessories and shoes in there. I also shoved in some red nail varnish at the last minute before running out the door and into the taxi. Alice was still annoyed that she wasn't allowed to drive AND completely pissed off to learn that when she moved here permanently she would have to retake her drivers test.
We was greeted by Sophie's mum who did not make us feel welcome and within seconds of us arriving had left for work. We walked upstairs to Sophie's room and I sat on her bed while Alice ran round and opened her wardrobe. I got out my nail varnish and painted my toenails and fingernails.
"Where are all your good clothes?" Alice screeched loudly.
"Relax Alice. There is a door behind all the suits." Sophie flopped back on the bed and laid there while Alice looked through her "secret" wardrobe. There was not a chance that she wouldn't find the perfect dress for her. I heard a gasp and Alice appeared from the wardrobe. "Oh my. You didn't tell me you had such nice dresses. I thought I was doomed to see all your tomboy clothes everywhere."
"Hey. I don't dress like a tomboy," Sophie sat up.
"Yes you do...well only sort of," I said. Sophie gave me an evil glare and I involuntarily squirmed. I wasn't usually affected by her evil looks but for some reason it did today. "I'm sorry but it's true. I suppose you dress girly sometimes." I added quickly. I saw her roll her eyes and fell back on the bed again.
"Wow Sophie, this dress is amazing!" Alice cried from the wardrobe. Her voice unclear from the wardrobe. I jumped up and grabbed my dress to get ready. While Alice was doing Sophie's make-up (which she clearly enjoyed doing very much), I was having a hard time choosing between three pairs of shoes I had brought. A pair of white t-bar heels, red flats or black ribbon heels.
"Aliiiice?" I said after she was done with Sophie. Sophie looked amazing in her knee-length blue dress and heels. I wish I could look as good as that.
She came skipping up to me and before I could even speak pointed to the black ribbon heels. Yay. I put them on and tied the silk ribbons so they would tie up my legs. Alice then dragged me into the chair and started to do my hair. She was strong for such a small person. After about an hour I looked in the mirror and couldn't believe it was me. My fringe wasn't clipped up like normal but part of the back was. The back was clipped up with a silver lacy designed clasp and the hair in it was lightly curled.
"I'm going to get changed in the bathroom, okay?" Alice said to Sophie.
"Why?You can get changed in here if you want," Sophie replied. I just kept prodding my face while looking in the mirror to make sure it was real.
"Nah it's fine. I need to get Bella out of the bathroom to do her make-up anyway."
"Okay."
Alice turned to leave the room and Sophie thanked her. I whispered 'thank you' under my breath although she probably didn't hear me. She turned and smiled and then left the room. Sophie came and sat on the bed.
"I have no idea what we're going to do at a dance when we have no dates." She said and did another dramatic sigh. I felt bad lying to her since I had a date. Maybe she would find someone while she's there. "I mean, why do we have to go anyway. I hate dancing and have no date. What would be the point?" I didn't say anything and then the doorbell rang. Sophie jumped up and I heard a stumble on the stairs. Probably Sophie fallen down in her heels. I waited a bit before I would jump up to see if she was okay but I heard her get up so I chuckled and looked out the window hoping it would be Liam. It wasn't.
Ellena. She was wearing a big, Cinderella style blue and black dress. The top had an black from what I could see. God, Sophie's room is so big I swear she has the whole top floor to herself. I saw Ellena walk in and I put on my chunky black bangle on my wrist. It seemed like forever before Ellena left and the doorbell rang again. Liam! He was carrying a bunch of white casablanca lilies and pink calla lilies. A lot of people think they are for funerals but a lot of modern weddings have them nowadays. They are also my favourite flower. How did he know? It could have been a wild guess but if you were going to go with anything you'd go for something more traditional than lilies right?
"I'll just go get her!" I heard Sophie shriek and waited for her to burst in. Just like I had predicted she threw the door open, ran in and pulled me off the bed and gave me a hug while we jumped up and down. I pretended not to know what she was doing it for.
"What?! What is it Sophie?!" I was getting excited so my voice went high and loud. I hoped Liam couldn't hear. Uh Oh, there was a window open.
"Why didn't you tell me you asked Liam to the dance?!This is fantastic!" She sounded more excited about it than I did and technically, he asked me. I was going to but he got there first.
"I wanted to keep it a secret to surprise you."
"You are so lucky Rhiannon," she almost sounded like she was crying. She let me go and almost pushed me out the door. "Don't keep him waiting, go on. Go!" I gave her the biggest smile I could manage and almost danced out the door in excitement. I stopped myself at the top of the stairs and slowly walked down them so I didn't trip and break any bones in the shoes.
"Hi, Liam." He looked like he was trying to hide a smirk and handed me the lilies.
"Excited are we?" I nodded and put the flowers in the vase and left a note saying to put water in it. I knew the vase was for flowers because it always had a over sized bouquet in it.
"How did you know I liked lilies?" He shrugged playfully and I closed the door behind me.
"You look beautiful." I blushed and looked down at my shoes.
"Thank you, you look nice to." I took his hand and looked up to see a black limo waiting. We walked towards it and then we got inside. We put on a music video and talked about the dance. Liam had heard all the squealing that had been going on when Sophie came up to her room. I thought so. We got to the hall and I stared at the lights that were hung everywhere. After about ten minutes, Sophie and Matt arrived together. Wait, rewind. Sophie and Matt? They looked so happy together so I was pleased for them. Bella and Edward, Alice and Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett all arrived looking as beautiful as ever. Renesmee and Jacob came in with Seth and Sarah Kaine. Seth looked at Sarah like she was the only girl on the planet. Like he would give her the world if he could yet they could only just met. Liam took my hand and led me to the middle of the dance floor. I noticed that he wasn't that bad a dancer. We danced for ages until Liam went to ask the DJ to choose a slow song so I went to find Sophie. I was so happy.
"Sophieeeeee!!" I shrieked so loudly that I almost hurt my own ears. "This is the most amazing night ever!"
"What happened to Liam?" she asked.
"He's gone to ask for a slow song, isn't that romantic?" I sighed dreamily and the slow song came on so I went back to Liam and threw my arms around his neck and rested my head on his shoulder as we swayed to the music. After the slow dance ended we all went into a crowd together and I saw Emma tap Emmett on the shoulder. She was quite tall, I didn't realise until now. Emmett agreed and we all watched out of the corners of our eyes as they danced and Rosalie glared darkly. Sarah looked very worried but Seth was whispering in her ear and she was nodding slowly. Everything almost went in slow motion for me as Emma kissed him and Rosalie pushed her away slightly too hard. Emma fell back into Quil who turned round and knocked Jacob over. His face fell into the punch bowl and he looked round angrily. When his eyes met Quil's he growled impossibly and Quil ran out of the room at a pace that seemed inhumanely fast. Jacob ran after him and I saw that Sophie let go of Matt's hand and followed them.
"Sophie!" I called after her but she was already gone. All the Cullens, Embry and Seth looked worried.
"We have to look for them." Alice said, taking control. We ran out and I saw a flash of blue run into the forest. We followed the flash and we were at the edge of the forest with no sign of any Sophie. We heard a deafening howl and Edward looked at Alice with a more than worried expression on his face. We stopped and Alice turned to face us. "Right, Rhiannon, Liam, Matt and I will go this way. Edward, Bella and Jasper, you go that way and Emmett, Rosalie and Nessie go that way." It was at this moment that I noticed that Ellena and Emma hadn't joined us in search for Sophie, Jacob and Quil.
I followed Alice into the middle of the forest and shivered while calling her name. Liam handed me his jacket and held my hand as we walked through the dark, creepy forest. I'd never told anyone but I was scared of the dark. The forest scenery didn't make it much better. Neither did the howling wolves. It was weird because I never thought that England had wild wolves, but apparently we do. A glassy look came over Alice and she stood dead still. I waved a hand in her face and when she didn't respond I shook her, she was freezing. She snapped out of it and picked up her pace. She then stopped and looked at us. "Stay here." She instructed and then kissed me on the cheek and ran off. I could of sworn that when she was beginning to look like a blob in my vision she ran much too fast. Way too fast. Liam and Matt sat on the floor but I didn't, I didn't want to ruin my dress. I heard a bloodcurdling scream and began to shake with fear. After ten minutes of silence I heard the rustle of leaves and saw Emmett and Rosalie come through.
"Come on, we've found her, but she's injured so she's going straight home. We've come to take you home." Rosalie smiled a small smile and offered out her hand. I took it gladly and she whispered in my ear. "Your terrified aren't you?" I nodded and I felt a warmer hand take mine. I turned and saw that Matt hadn't moved.
"Come on, we're going now." He shook his head but I glared at him and he followed, dragging his feet. What was wrong with him? Sophie was safe at home, why did he want to stay in the forest? Liam wanted to try and cheer me up and take me back to the dance but I didn't want to. We got back to my house and he kissed me on the cheek and gave me a big hug before leaving. I walked in and sat in the living room where I found Nessie and Jake sitting there completely miserable.
