My first girlfriend was human and we thought we would be together forever. She loved me more then I deserved. She wanted to give her soul up just for me, so she could be with me forever, she wanted immortality too…But I wouldn't allow it. Her 18th birthday, she got a paper cut when she opened her presents…Jasper attacked her because of the blood coming from the cut. The year before, when we first started dating, she played baseball with us, like what we do every once in a while…Well a coven of vampires got a hold of her scent and went after her. Anyway, long story short, the vampire bit her, but I got there in time to suck the venom from her and have her still be human. To this day she still has the crescent shape mark on her wrist.
My Edward, wasn't just mine, he was my mother's at one point… That was just gross in my book. I put the rest of the pictures in the box and shoved the one picture in my back pocket. I grabbed the box and ran back down stairs.
"Here Mom, I think I'm going to go back upstairs and go to bed, I feel a little sick and tired." I told her.
"Alright, but before you go back to America, I want to go over this stuff with you." Mom smiled and took my hand and kissed it.
"Goodnight." I told her and went up to my room.
I flipped the laptop screen open and quickly requested a chat with Edward Cullen.
"Hello Darling." Edward smiled his crooked smile.
"Hello." I said acidly.
"What's wrong?" He asked worried.
"Could you come to Italy, like now?" I asked.
"But a flight takes a day to book and like 10 hours to fly." Edward said.
"I'll call Uncle Derek." I told him.
"Uh, okay?" Edward said and I shut off the conversation
"Hello, this is Derek." He answered.
"Uncle Derek." I said
"Hello Sophia, what do I owe to this unexpected call?" He asked
"I need a quick favor." I told him scared to whether he would actually agree to this.
"Anything." He said and I could tell he was smiling.
"I need you to transport Edward Cullen to outside the castle, but in the gates." I told him.
"Edward Cullen, why would you need him to be in Italy?" He asked.
"He uh is needed in the castle and Gianna is on vacation and no one knows how to do her job except Edward, so we are asking you to transport him here." I told him.
"Well, sure I guess is that it?" He asked.
"Yeah, pretty much." I told him.
"Okay I'll get him when we hang up." He said.
"Well wait like 2 minutes." I told him.
"Okay?" He said suspicious.
"Thanks Uncle Derek." I told him and hung up. I requested another v-chat with Edward and told him to climb my balcony.
I sat out on the balcony and waited for Edward to be transported. It took about all of 4 minutes for Edward to appear in the lawn my balcony looked over.
"Up here." I called and waved. He nodded and gave himself leeway before jumping to meet me.
"What's up buttercup?" Edward smiled and put his hands toward my lower back. What was unfair was now I had a bias for Edward now that I knew he once loved my mother. He felt the picture in my pocket and I waited for him to fish it out.
He did as what was expected and took out the picture. He tore away from me to look at it. He opened the fold from where I had folded it. He gasped.
"Care to explain?" I asked with a crooked eyebrow.
"There's nothing to explain." Edward said his voice full of sorrow.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked him, "Do you know how gross to me this is?" I yelled.
He walked over toward my room and shut the French doors so we were outside
"I didn't tell you because I loved you too much to fight like this." Edward said. "I was going to tell you, but you were leaving to come here."
"Don't give me this." I told him. "If you loved me, you would have been honest!" I said my voice rising as my anger increased.
"Does Bella know we are dating?" He asked.
"No, she doesn't know we were dating." I told him, my hands on my hips.
"Were?" He gulped.
"Edward, I can't do us, when your past has intertwined with my present." I told him.
"Don't think of it that way." He begged.
"What am I supposed to think Edward, please enlighten me?!" I told him, my hands in the air.
"Look I didn't know how to tell you, but when you think about it, human Bella and vampire Bella are two really people." Edward tried to make the subject brighter when he was making it worse and my blood pressure rise.
"Look, I'll be back to America to get my things, I'm spending the rest of my summer in Italy." I told him,
"Don't do this." Edward begged.
"What do you want me to do?!"
"I want you to forget about this. Bella was my past. No feelings what so ever, it's just you!" Edward grasped my shoulders and he forcefully kissed my lips, reassuring me that it was just me. I started to kiss back, because Edward's kisses were so intoxicating. My arms wound themselves around his neck, I had suddenly forgotten about what we were fighting about until someone had opened the doors to the balcony.
"SOPHIA ROSE!" Mom's voice shrieked.
"Mom." I gasped as Edward let me go and turned me around.
"Bella." He gasped at the same time.
"What the hell is going on?" She asked.
"Uh, we were fighting." I told her.
"Yeah, not fighting verbally I see." Mom said. "Edward can you wait down stairs in the lobby?"She asked grossed out.
"That'd be a good idea." Edward agreed and passed Mom and down the stairs.
"Explain, now!" She commanded her voice hard.
"We were dating in Forks but it was only for like a week." I started. "I came back here to see you and then I tipped the boxes over when I grabbed the box you wanted me to get. Nothing fell out except the shoe box that had all of the pictures and the tickets in them. I found the picture and I told Edward to come to Italy. I had Uncle Derek transport Edward and then we were fighting out on the balcony; we kissed and it made me forget what we were fighting about and then you showed up." I finished.
"Well, I need two sides of the story." Mom concluded.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I whined.
"I didn't think you would ever need to know." She said drained.
"Well, congratulations, you didn't win. I found I'm dating my mother's ex boyfriend!" I yelled as I stood on my bed making me look superior.
"I didn't sign up for this conflict Sophia!" Mom yelled.
"You know what, I think you did." I told her. "You like to make my life a living hell."
"How I haven't been around you on a daily bases for 2 months?!" She yelled.
"Exactly. Who's all seen Dad?!" I asked. "Shall we count?"
She didn't speak, "Exactly everyone except for me!" I yelled.
"I'm leaving to go back to America to get my stuff." I told her. "I'll be back by tomorrow night at the latest." I told her.
I walked down to the end of the hallway where the painting of Carlisle was hanging; I made a sound of acid and walked down stairs to the lobby where Edward was sitting against the wall.
"See you at your next census." I told him and walked out to the garage and took the silver Audi cope to the private jet hanger,
Edward's POV
I heard the whole thing. I screwed up the relationship between the Cullens and the Volturi. My family wasn't safe anymore. We were always under the protection of the Volturi. She didn't want anything to do with her mother nor me. Yes, our relationship was short but it was the best one I ever had since Bella, and not even Bella could measure up to Sophia.
I was sitting in the lobby waiting for the final answer of whether or not I would be allowed to be with Sophia. I would be her second hard break up since her parents took away her stuffed puppy that was lacking stuffing in the legs and paws since she was 3. Duke had crushed her when she saw him cheating. When he showed up on the Cullen doorstep she had a tiny narrow brain wave of taking him back.
I heard Sophia walked down to the end of the hallway where the painting of Carlisle hung. She spat at it and walked toward the stairs. She soon came into view and spoke, "See you at your next census." She walked passed me and walked out to the garage. I heard tires squeal away and there for I knew the wrath of an angry mother was coming my way.
"So what do we do now?" I heard Bella asked as she stood in front of me.
"You guess is as good as mine." I told her.
"Go after her." Bella said.
"Seriously?" I asked.
"Seriously." She nodded. "You'll have to take commercial airlines; she probably took the Volturi jet." Bella informed. "You make anyone happy, you make her happy especially. She'll be tough but you'll get her." She encouraged.
"Thank you; you don't know how much she means to me." I told her I headed for the door.
"Oh and Edward." Bella called I turned around. "Don't hurt her like you did to me, let her make the decision, don't force." Bella warned.
"Promise." I winked and ran to the airport.
Sophia's POV
Thank the lord, a pilot was available and was able to take me. **
"Miss Sophia, we will be landing in 5 minutes." One of the attendants announced,
"Thank you." I said
The plane landed and I told them that I would be back for it in about 5 hours. That's all I needed. I found my way to my car and drove to Forks.
I pulled into the driveway and pulled my hood up on my hoodie as it was pouring rain. I ran into the house and took off my jacket.
"Is Edward with you?" Esme smiled.
"No." I told her unhappily and ran upstairs to my room.
I packed my 3 suitcases of shoes and packed the rest. It took me about 3 hours. The door was locked so no one was going to be disturbing me.
"Mia!" I called as I came in from putting my 24/25 of my suitcases in the car
I heard her bark and someone say, "Come here puppy." It sounded a lot like Edward. "All I want is my Mia, no one else." I called to the empty hallway.
Mia barked and growled, but she wasn't in danger, she was protecting herself. "Mia, come here puppy." I called.
I followed the barks and growls till I found she was in Edward's room hidden under his desk. He was on all fours trying to louver her out.
"What did you do to Mia?" I snarled.
"Nothing, I found her like this," Edward said. She kept barking and growling at him. I walked over to him and looked under the desk.
"Hi baby girl, it's time to go home to Italy." I told her. She tilted her head as if I had three heads and I out my hands out and she walked toward my hands. I grabbed her and got up and walked back to my room and didn't speak a word to Edward.
"Sophia, you can't leave like this." Edward said as I put Sophia in her carrying case and grabbed my purse and my last suitcase.
"I can and I will." I told him. "There is nothing left. Edward it's too weird." I told him
"No, it will if you let it be." Edward said.
"Don't Edward, we've tired and it got screwed up." I told him.
"I'll see you later." I told him and I walked out to my car and drove away.
*September* *war is over*
I haven't talked to Edward or the Cullens since then. Mom still keeps tabs on them but I don't bother to ask her for an update. Everyone is home safe and Aro didn't kill my Mia, he thought she was sweet and thought it was a good idea for me to keep her around if that's what made me happy.
Around the end of July I was changed into a vampire and I have the gift to make or break love. It's kind of like cupid, but I can't take two complete strangers and make them love each other, I had to take two people who knew or knows each other and then I could make them love each other. I could break a relationship and that came to my advantage as I worked for revenge for Duke. He was going through girls like water, but he had a good one, a keeper. I killed that one about 3 months into the relationship. It was amazing to see the girl Lillian spill water all over him and his pants, so it looked like he wet himself.
Camille and I are still best friends and she knows about vampires. Aro isn't happy about it at all and destines her to be one of us. Camille thinks it's cool but when I sat down with her and told her that it wasn't so cool when you had no one to spend eternity with. She was so certain that Edward and I were meant for each other and if that didn't happen then I would find someone. So I was destined to be forever 18.
"Soph, Camille is here for the first day of school." Mom called through the door.
"I'm coming!" I spat at her. I still hadn't forgiven her for not telling me.
"Okay Sophia this is really starting to get old. Give it a rest." She called. "Edward wants to be with you and make it work; you're the one pushing him away."
"Shut up; tell Camille I'll meet her in the car." I told her. Mom groaned and I jumped from my balcony to the garage.
"You need to straighten up Sophia Rose; I am sick of you and your mother fighting." Dad said and he stood outside the garage,
"Says the man who wouldn't take a break shifts like the rest of the family to come see his daughter." I told him. "Dad, don't even try to make peace because you are as guilty as she is!" I walked into the garage and Camille was already waiting in my car. I got in and the garage door opened wide and I threw the car into reverse and spun out of the garage. (It's what 'Edward' did in the movie twilight when the frat boys were about to rape Bella)
"You are really harsh on your parents you know." Camille said,
"They deserve it." I told her and swerved to miss a trash can that was blowing around in the street.
"Whatever, all I'm saying is if you keep on pushing them away, all you're going to end up with is just me." Camille said.
"And that's all I need." I told her as I parked in my parking spot.
"Sophia." Someone called from behind me. I turned and it was Aunt Alice.
"Can I help you?" I asked as Camille and I were walking over to her.
"I came to see how you were, and obviously you're dead." Alice smiled.
"Look, I have to get to homeroom." I told her, as I was about to walked away she was right in front of me.
"You can be mad at Edward all you want but don't take it out on the rest of the family." Alice said. "We are the same damn way we were when we left Bella, and fuck it all, I'm sick of it." Alice cursed.
"I'm sorry, but I can't do this now, I have issues with other things right now." I told her. "But the worst part is you all knew, you all knew we were starting to date, you knew he dated my mother and none of you dropped a damn hint or warned me, hell, I asked about it! Damn it now do you see why I haven't talked to in the last month!" I yelled as I lost it.
"We need to talk about this somewhere else. I'm staying at this address when you are finished school, I expect you to be there." Alice said as I pulled my elbow out of her grasp.
"Bitch." I muttered under my breath as I walked into the school.
Camille and I found we have everything together and we found that homecoming was this upcoming Friday. We were going dress shopping after the whole Alice thing.
***
Duke had another bimbo on his arm at lunch but he wasn't paying attention to her, he kept staring at me as he saw I was 10 times more beautiful than ever due to me being immortal.
"So we are actually going through with this?" Camille asked.
"I have too; she's already seen the outcome." I told her and pulled up to a big beach house mansion.
"They would, they really would." I shook my head. I had changed in gym that was last period so I didn't have to wear that stupid uniform, so I grabbed my heels since I hadn't had the time to put them on.
We walked up and Camille knocked on the door. Alice pranced her way to the door and smiled, "Come in." She smiled. We walked in and I rolled my eyes as I smelled 6 other vampires in the house.
"Seriously Alice." I chastised.
"Yeah, really Sophia." She said and Cam and I followed her into the kitchen
Everyone was at the dining room table. "Look at you little Soph is all ---" Emmett was about to say vampire but then Camille walked in.
"I know everything." Camille said.
"Vampire!" Emmett cheered and got up and gave me a huge hug.
"Uh can you not?" I asked as he squeezed tighter.
"Sorry, forgot you're pissed at us." Emmett said and let go and sat back down.
"Both of you come sit." Esme said and she and Carlisle held out chairs for us.
We did what we were told because it got us out of there faster is we just cooperated.
"Now, tell us why you are so mad at us." Carlisle said as he sat back down.
"You all knew Edward and I were going through the motions to become serious and you knew he dated my mother and you didn't tell me. A hint would have been nice. But no I had to find out here in Italy! I FUCKING ASKED ABOUT IT ON MY BIRTHDAY. BUT NO IT WAS 'NOTHING!' I WAS TOLD NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT AND TO BE HONEST I WASN'T GIVEN A GOOD REASON TO LEAVE IT ALONE EITHER!" I exploded.
"You're right; you had a right to know." Alice agreed
"You would think I would since it was my life, my mother, my love life?!" I emphasized
"I'm sorry because I had so many times when I wanted to tell you." Esme frowned and massaged her temples.
"I had my moment when Edward brought you to the meadow. I saw you two walk out. I wanted to yell it but I couldn't find myself losing my niece and brother." Rosalie sighed.
"I saw you finding out a different way so I let things play out. You weren't supposed to go back to Italy." Alice said.
"While you were at the beach, every time, Jazz and I and sometimes when Carlisle was home, we would pin him up against the wall telling him if he hurt you or didn't tell you we would burn him." Emmett said.
"Well look how that turned out." Camille said.
"Cam, I got this." I told her silencing her.
"No, I want to hear your human perspective on this. On a scale of 1-10 how gross do you think this is?" Rosalie asked.
"Well considering you can live forever—" Camille started then was cut off.
"If you didn't know what we were." Rosalie added.
"I would say this is totally gross." She said.
"THANK YOU!!" I said and put my hands out.
"You seriously hate us all, don't you?" Jasper asked.
"No, you have all apologized and I forgive you, somewhat." I told them.
"Thank you, thank you, and thank you!" Emmett and Alice said cheery and gave me hugs.
"You guys don't play fair." Camille said,
I looked at her. "You have mood control on your side." She explained. They laughed including me. Camille and I stayed for about an hour until I looked at the time.
"We need to head back; we still need to go dress shopping." I told them.
"Why do you need a dress?" Alice asked.
"Homecoming is Friday." I told her.
"Oh, Fun." She smirked and gave us hugs goodbye.
"So we are leaving for Forks tonight, we wanted to get this problem solved so, we will keep in touch." Esme smiled as she gave me hugs.
"He's not here is he?" I asked.
"No, he's in Alaska." She said.
"What's he doing there?" Camille asked.
"Finding Lilly, He thinks all the answers from this problem will lie with her." Carlisle said.
"Ha, fat chance." I laughed, and we drove away back to Volterra and went to the mall and found dresses.
Camille found a red satin dress and I found a black and white one. I already had shoes in my closet for us that weren't worn yet and we both had the jewelry. I dropped Camille off and prepared myself to face utter hell.
"How was shopping?"Gianna asked
"Fine." I said.
"Sophia, your parents used your GPS tracking system, they knew you went to the beach." Gianna said.
"Yeah, and I went shopping!" I told her.
"Sophia, your parents want to speak to you in the throne room." Gianna said as she received a call through her head set, I nodded and the guards opened the doors to the throne room. I took a deep breath and walked in.
"Hello Sophia, how was your first day back at school?" Dad smiled.
"Fine." I said again.
"Why were you at the beach?" Mom asked. "You said you were going shopping then you were coming home." Mom accused.
"Bella." Dad said.
"Aunt Alice cornered Camille and me at school today, she gave me the address and she said to be there, she was expecting me." I told her.
"That's Alice." Jane said walking though, filing her nails and walking out again.
"You could have called." Dad said,
"NO, I couldn't have, I don't want to talk to you guys, ever. You ruined my whole summer thank you very much." I yelled and stomped out to my room.
"WHERE'S MIA!" I screamed as I looked in her small room where she sleeps until I get home. I grabbed her leash and walked around the castle to look for her.
"Where is my puppy?!" I yelled as I walked into the common room and there was Felix and Demitri.
"Right here, god no need to kill us with your screams." Felix said rubbing his ear.
"Mia, come." I called and she sneezed and trotted over. "Hello puppy." I cooed and put her on her leash. Mia was all I had left of Edward. I pushed him away. There was no turning back.
"Taking Mia out for a little bit." I told Gianna.
She nodded and I walked out of the garage and out on the side walk.
We passed some people who said hi and hello. There was a group of kids coming out from a nearby day care who wanted to pet Mia as we were walking to the castle gates, one kid walked near me and Mia got all defensive and growled at them.
"She is quite protective for a yorkie." The teacher smiled.
"Yeah, she is protective of me and no one else." I smiled a fake smile.
I slide my key card in and pulled Mia along. "Whoa, you live here?" A kid asked in awe.
"Yep." I said flakily and walked in the gates.
"Come Mia." I called but she didn't come she started to bark and growl at someone walking by. "Mia, you silly puppy." I cooed and walked to her.
I found that she was barking at a human boy with brown hair, Duke. I turned to see if the kids were still there and they weren't luckily. The gates shut and Duke ogled me.
"Cute puppy." Duke said.
"Thanks." I said, Mia was still barking out of control.
"I see she still hates me from Washington." Duke pointed out.
"Mia stop it. Come here!" I commanded and she stopped and came over to me and I held her in my arms.
"Why?" I asked. He looked at me confused. "Why did you cheat?" I asked.
"I don't know, you were going to be gone the whole summer and what else was I supposed to do?" He asked.
"Uh, not cheat on me." I said bluntly.
"I'm 17 and I couldn't be tied down for a whole summer." Duke said,
"So when I caught you, you become a player?!" I confronted.
He didn't answer, "I told you my deepest darkest secrets, and you turn around a month later and cheat on me." I said with acid in each word.
"And they will forever stay with me. Sophia I would never tell anyone anything and I will take that to my grave." Duke promised.
"Well I have to go." I told him pointing to the castle gates.
"Yeah, hey good luck at home coming." Duke said.
"Thanks, you too." I said and I walked back in the castle gates.
That was the moment, my doors shut and sealed tight for Duke, he was gone, out of my life. For good.
