Hey guys, I'm reaaaaally sorry i haven't updated this story, or Sing Songs in my Head. Recently just started Sixth Form, and it is an actual minefield of work! Anybody know how to do Bach four part harmony? Anyone?! Anyways I'm off to do that now, hope you like this :) xx
The plane journey was much more comfortable than the previous one. Knowing I had my parent's blessing, I was excited to go back to America, and to the other Cullen's. I dutifully took the free water and other snacks on the plane, to make myself appear normal on the long flight, and excused myself to go to the 'bathroom' every now and again.
I sat with two strangers, as we booked the tickets the day before, and couldn't get seats together. Well, some of us could. I glared at Esme and Carlisle sitting down the opposite row from me, who were both too busy watching the telly, uninterested. I studied the two people sitting either side of me. One was a small blonde haired woman, with bright red lips and a business-like expression. She would glance at me every now and again, and squirm in uneasiness. Either she was a little jealous of my new looks, or she felt the chill my skin gave off. Whatever she felt, I tried not to touch her or even glance at her, for fear of making her even more uneasy.
The boy next to me, however, caught my attention. He kept staring at me, frowning intensely, as if trying to figure something out. He would look away each time I caught his eye, but I felt whatever he felt immediately.
How could I forget the dark brown hair, and the pale green eyes? It was blasphemous not to remember them.
Daniel.
I winced at the thought of him not being able to remember me, but I kept the thought of his betrayal right up in my mind at this point, to stop me from giving away my identity. It was an ordinary night out; Daniel was playing a gig with his mates, and had recently told my best friend to turn me down on his behalf.
He didn't want to the ruin the friendship, though of course it's never the 'friendship' that gets in the way. It serves only as a little excuse. I hadn't thought about it in a long time; I couldn't. But now I had to muster the memory forth just to stop me from kissing him right there and then. My friend had come over to me, trying to be a good friend, I am sure of that, and told me that the real reason was that he couldn't imagine having sex with me.
My blood boiled, and I glowered at him the next time he glanced over. What was that supposed to mean?! My respect for his talents, and his beauty crumbled in one utterance. I looked at him now only with irritancy. How could he humiliate me like that? I took a deep breath, and concentrated at looking over the woman's shoulder out of the window.
Later on in the journey I deduced that Daniel was on holiday with his family, and his newest girlfriend; Danielle. I shivered in disgust, luckily too minute for Daniel to notice. I mean, how cliché; Daniel and Danielle. A match made in Heaven! My empty, redundant stomach seemed to want to turn itself inside out at the sickly sweetness of the relationship.
At that moment I nearly laughed in joy and exasperation as I realised my two year crush on Daniel had completely evaporated. I suppose my extra sensitive vampire heart was too in-tune to fell anything for him anymore. The plane journey ended with ease, and I jumped up readily to collect my bags, when a light tap on the shoulder ruined my exultation. I turned around slowly, looking at Daniel's red cheeks.
"Excuse me, I'm sorry if this sounds a bit weird, but are you...you are Isabel Jane, aren't you?" I frowned, looking confused.
"I'm sorry? I think you have me mistaken for someone else."
"Really? You look the same as someone I know; I could've sworn you were her. I've memorised her face by now-"
"Oh really? Well I suppose you didn't do it that well did you?" I whipped around, and stormed out of the now empty plane as fast as I could go. Daniel, unfortunately, struggled to keep up with me.
"Please, wait! Perhaps you are related to her? Please don't keep me in the dark!" He panted down the stairs as I flew down them easily, before I spun round to face him, catching him off guard and making him stumble.
"Look, mate, I'm sorry if you miss this girl or whatever-"
"Yes, I do, a lot."
"-But I'm simply not that girl." Anymore, I added on in my head, but continued to proceed with my taunting.
"Maybe it's someone you messed around or something, I don't know, but seriously, can you stop following me? If you have messed her around I'm pretty sure she wouldn't want you following her around, right?" I don't know why I was saying it; it was just all coming out. Well, this was probably the only time I was going to say it.
"I knew you were Izzy! Please, Isabel, I'm so sorry. But my God, you've changed loads!"
"Isabel? Sorry, doesn't ring any bells. Please leave me alone."
"Alright...well if you see her, tell her I'm sorry!" He winked at me, before walking faster to catch up with his girlfriend. Cocky bastard.
"Oh don't worry, I'll tell her if I see her. Doubt she'll take it though." I raced past him, grabbing at the chance to get the last word, before finding Carlisle and Esme, and leaving Daniel gobsmacked and humiliated behind me.
