Kelsey's POV
I was practically hyperventilating in the front seat of the shiny silver car. I Don't know why I was so nervous, it was just his family. I stole a side glance at him and saw the corners of his perfect mouth curving slightly upward. Trying to hide his smile.
"What's so funny?" I demanded, sharper then I'd intended. When I'm nervous, I tend to get just a little bit mad.
"You. Why are you freaking out so much?" he said with emotions slightly mixed in with his calm voice. The way he said it had me suspicious. Like he thought the hyperventilating was funny, but his question had a meaning behind it. Something that he didn't find funny at all. Something that put just the slightest hint of nervousness, the slightest hint at a hidden secret, something he didn't want me to know.
I turned my head completely, to give him my full attention. "What's wrong?" I asked, curiosity, unfortunately, clearly in my voice.
After the slightest pause, he turned to me with a confused look on his face. It took me a moment to realize we were driving, way to fast, down a curvy road, and he wasn't paying any attention. "Edward pay attention!" I shrieked.
Smirking he turned his attention back to the road. Knowing what else i was going to ask, he slowed down slightly.
Not about to give up, I took another shot at it. "What's wrong?" i repeated, successfully hiding the curiosity in my voice.
The same puzzled look came across his face. "What are you talking about Kelsey? I'm fine."
Slightly frustrated, I continued on. "You seem like your hiding something about...something you don't want me to know..." I stopped, aware I was pretty much just rambling and the longer i continued, the more i would confuse myself and him.
He surprised me by laughing. "Do you tend to over analyze things? It seems like you tend to think things through too much and make yourself confused."
I pouted, giving up. That's what my mom always told me. I DID tend to over analyze things. And I never realized it. Damn, now I felt stupid.
I turned my attention back to the road, when he slowed down, then turned off into an overgrown hidden paved lane off the side of the road. The trees along the path were cut perfectly, in a neat line so the branches wouldn't hit the car and scratch the flawless silver paint job. After what seemed like miles, it opened up into an opening. The grass was a rolling green carpet, with a few trees scattered in the opening. The drive continued on to a garden full of multi-colored flowers, all perfectly spaced and looking absolutely perfect. The drive curved into a circle at the top, with a big modern-looking mansion at the tip. Around it were a few smaller buildings, looking like large sheds.
Nobody's POV
Edward stopped the Volvo and got out to open the door for her. Shutting it behind her, he leaned closer to her and whispered in her ear. "Don't worry so much."
He led her to the big, heavy looking double doors and opened one for her, before pushing her inside. Kelsey was surprised when she saw two people coming down the stairs. They looked to be in their late twenties, early thirties.
"Kelsey, this is Carlisle and Esme, my parents." Edward said, then gave her a reassuring smile.
"Hello Kelsey. It's nice to meet you." Esme said. Carlisle nodded and smiled at her.
"Same here," Kelsey answered, her voice surprisingly strong for all the emotions flying around in her chest, threatening to break free.
"Kelsey!" She heard a girls voice yell.
She turned to see an impossibly tiny girl with spiky black hair coming down the stairs, with a tall, blond boy trailing behind her.
Confused as to how this girl new her name, she answered, "Uh, hi." It came out has more of a question. She shot a glance over to Edward and saw him glaring at her. He took a deep breath and introduced her.
"Kelsey, this is Alice and Jasper."
At the mention of her name, Alice walked over to her, except it looked more like dancing, and pecked her on the cheek.
"Emmett and Rosalie are out. You'll meet them later."
Kelsey glanced around and was shocked. Edward had told her that Carlisle and Esme had adopted them, which was obviously true because they were both so young looking. Despite that, they looked the same. They all had the unbelievably perfect, flawless pale skin, the same strange topaz color, and faint purple bruises that looked like they hadn't slept for days.
She had been so caught up in her observations, that she hadn't noticed that Edward had been talking to someone else. She was snapped out of her trance by Edward pulling her towards the stairs. Up on the second floor was a large hall. Edward took her all the way to the end and pulled her through the last door on the right.
Inside was a large room, with a full bath and a walk-in closet. One wall was completly glass, over looking a stretch off trees, with some form of water just a little ways off. The room was a tan color, the walls, the extremely comfy looking carpet... An expensive looking stereo sat in the corner. A tan leather sofa, which was the same color has the wall, but darker then the floor.
"Wow," Was all Kelsey could manage to get out. The room, which was in the shape of an L. was bigger then her's.
"Yeah, it's a little big," was his answer, then he went further into the room to sit on the sofa. She followed him ,then looked down the length of the L. At the end was another door.
"What's in there?" Kelsey asked, curious.
Edward just shrugged, then picked up a tiny remote and pushed a button. A sweet song came through the hidden speakers, a lullaby. She saw Edward jump, then pushed another button. Or, rather, jammed another button. The CD switched, but the remote was now shattered from the force her had used on the slim remote.
Shocked, Kelsey walked over to the door and opened it. Inside was a medium sized room, with a white piano in the middle, covered in dust. Despite the lack of care, it was still the prettiest piano she had ever seen.
Edward came up behind her and gently closed the door. "I used to play, but I don't anymore."
He was hiding something. And it hurt him.
Was it something that reminded him of his real family?
Or another girl?
