I know, I know it has been weeks since I have updated and you should all slap me for it. But I have been MAJOR busy, in fact busy is an understatement! But I am back and ready with more chapters. So I apologize for the delay and hope you all don't hate me.
Here is the next one-
Another month had passed and I was still stuck inside the Cullen's house staring at the same four walls for hours on end.
I literally knew every nook and cranny in the walls.
I was starting go insane.
An idea popper into my head and I went inside Alice's room where she was sitting on her window ledge watching the world go by.
"Erm… Alice?" I asked carefully.
She just turned to look at me. I had a feeling she knew what I was about to ask.
"I really need to get out the house because its making me go mad. Can we maybe go on a little shopping trip?" I shut my eyes as I asked expecting Alice to just go mad at me.
"I don't think that's a good idea Hermione." Alice said quietly.
I opened my eyes and looked at her.
"Oh please Alice. You can see the future, surely you can see that everything will be fine." I pleaded.
Alice sighed.
"My visions are based on decisions Hermione. If you make a split second decision to go on some massacre, I won't see it coming." She said.
I could see the sympathy in her eyes.
"But I won't. I have been a vampire for 2 months now and I haven't killed a single human. Not one." I argued.
"It will be different from hunting. You'll be surrounded by millions of humans and you may not be able to control yourself." Alice said.
"Right I am either going with you or without you! You make the decision!" I said, starting to get angry.
Alice sighed again.
"Oh sometimes you are such a stubborn little madam. Fine but we can't tell a soul and we need to make sure Edward doesn't find out. He may not be able to read your mind but he can still read mine." Alice said, grabbing my arm.
She pulled me out of her room and we snuck down to the garage. I smiled to myself smugly.
I wasn't really a big shopper but at least it got me out of the house.
As me and Alice entered the shopping mall the smell of human blood nearly knocked me of my feet.
I tried to remain calm so Alice couldn't see but inside the nerves were beginning to churn round my body.
I held my breath and tried to block out the mouth watering smell.
"And how are you feeling?" Alice said, looking at me.
I swear sometimes she could read my mind.
"I am fine." I choked out.
"You don't look fine."
"Well I am!"
A young boy brushed passed me and his smell consumed my body.
I needed to have him.
Before I could lunge at him, Alice grabbed me and pulled me out of the mall by one arm.
Near enough throwing me into the car, I finally stopped holding my breath and wished I could have cried.
"See I knew that would happen." She didn't say it angrily but I knew she was mad at me.
I didn't need vampire mind reading skills to know what Alice was thinking right now.
"I am sorry, Alice. I couldn't believe I was so stupid." I said.
She just looked at me and smiled a little.
"Come on, let's go somewhere just you and us." She said.
Alice drove us to a park not far away from the Cullen's.
It was completely deserted. Perfect.
I sat on a picnic bench and looked up at the clouds.
"You may be strong Hermione, but you over estimate how strong." Alice said, sitting opposite me.
"I know. I don't look before I leap. My Mum use to always say that to me." I sighed.
"You miss your parents?"
"I think about them everyday but at least they know I am OK."
"But you do like living with us?"
Alice looked at me with her big eyes and I smiled to myself.
"I love it." I replied.
Alice smiled and nodded.
"Do you not think about getting back together with Jasper?" She asked me.
Why did everyone want to know the answer to this question?
I sighed and looked back up at the clouds.
"He did save your life." Alice said, realizing I was pissed at her.
"No. Edward saved my life." I reminded her.
I heard Alice laugh slightly.
"Only by Jaspers orders." She said quietly.
I looked at her and she was looking into her hands.
"I know that it's just… Jasper didn't exactly do the deed himself did he?" I said.
"Did you and Jasper have a good relationship?" She asked, still looking at her hands.
"Yes." I said quietly.
"And you don't miss that?"
"Things have changed."
"I get that but deep down they are still the same."
"Do you see me and Jasper together in the future?" I asked her.
She finally looked up at me and smiled.
"No. Jasper has already asked me this and I didn't tell him the full story." She said.
"And what is the full story?" I asked eagerly.
"If I didn't tell Jasper, I am not going to tell you. Anyway it could still change; you could still make a different decision."
"So…do I have to make a decision?" I asked, getting a little confused.
"Kind of."
Alice wasn't going to give the information I wanted away so easily. But she had seen my future and it didn't involve me being with Jasper. Did this mean something?
"Do I end up with someone else?" I asked her.
She shrugged her shoulders and whispered maybe.
I smiled a little. I was fighting a losing battle here.
"OK no more questions." I said, laughing a little.
Alice laughed with me.
"You do trust me though don't you?" She asked.
I nodded and squeezed her hand.
Back at the Cullen's, Emmett and Jasper were playing some game on the Xbox while Rosaline and Esme were reading.
Carlisle was at work and I assumed Edward was in his room.
"And where have you two been?" Esme said, coming across very motherly.
"No where dangerous." Alice replied, wedging herself between Jasper and Emmett.
I smiled at Esme and made my way upstairs.
Maybe my room was such a boring place after all. At least there were no humans to try and eat in there.
I walked past Edward's room and heard soft music. Curiosity got the better of me and I pushed his door open slightly.
I saw Edward sitting at a piano. He looked so intense and involved in what he was playing, which sounded beautiful.
He stopped to soon though and I was disappointed.
I walked into his room.
"You play really well." I said.
He looked up and smiled at me.
"Well I have had a few years to practice." He said.
I sat next to him on the piano seat.
"Play something else." I asked him.
He started again playing a piece of music I had never heard before but it was just as beautiful as the last song.
I watched his fingers as they pressed the keys and was mesmerized by how he played.
He stopped again and looked at me.
I looked back up at him.
"wow." Was all I could say.
He smiled his crooked smile.
I had to pull my eyes away from his beauty and looked back down at the piano keys.
"I wish I could play." I said randomly pressing a key.
"I'll teach you." He said, taking my hand and putting his on top of mine.
I held my breath and he led my fingers to play a few keys.
I looked at him as he made my fingers play more keys and smiled.
"What?" He said, looking at me. He had stopped playing and just held my hand.
"Nothing." I whispered.
"I am teaching you to play piano." He smiled.
I nodded and smiled even bigger.
"Yes I see that." I said.
He raised an eyebrow at me which made me giggled.
"I hate not being able to read your mind." He said.
"I love it." I replied.
"Tell me what you're thinking." He said, twisting his fingers around mine.
"I can't." I whispered, both of us staring at one another.
"Please." He said, his topaz eyes glistering.
I shook my head.
"You'll laugh at me." I said, quite glad of the fact I couldn't go red.
"I promise I won't laugh." He said.
I leant towards him and placed my lips on to his.
I waited for his next move and held my breath.
He kissed me and I kissed back. He pulled the hand he was holding closer to his chest and slipped his free hand into my hair.
I put my free hand onto his leg as the kissing turned more passionate.
I slipped closer to him and kissed him more.
Suddenly he let go my hand and pulled away.
I looked at him and he looked…anguished.
"I'm sorry Hermione." He said, getting off the seat and leaving the room.
I stared at the door of where he had just left. For the first time in two months, my mouth felt dry.
