A/N:

ME: I don't own Twilight.

TWILIGHT: Course you don't. Youre too messy. You don't make deadlines, are disorganized, and are forgetful.

ME: Thank you. Some of my best qualities.

TWILIGHT: It wasn't a compliment dummy.


ME: It kind of is from you.

TWILIGHT: *thinks* Touché.

Chapter 10- Decision Making

"So…"

"So…"

"Umm…"

I mentally cursed at Nixie and Elyon in my mind. They exclaimed they had to take Elliot and Jared out tonight, and that I would be stuck with Hunter and Edward. Alone. As in, oh my damn that is so fucking awkward. Those two just want me to lose my sanity for all an eternity.

"So, you went here after…" Edward said, and I looked at him. He was emo-ed out today, again. Alice came by the other day, and had a fit when she saw him. Now, she was on campus, for fashion design classes. She said it was alright we had him in disguise, as long as she picked out the outfits. Usually she ended up making him look like the stereotypical French guys.

"Yep…" I mumbled, and I was so pissed that Nixie and Elyon were having me baby sit the guys. So what if they fought?! They'll pay for the damn damages. No need to make us all feel awkward and shitty and stupid.

"So…. That Trig teacher is a bastard." Hunter said as he flipped through a book.

"What made you think that?" I said sarcastically. I had warned them, but they wouldn't listen. Due to them not listening to me, they all got detentions.

"Dunno. His bitchass gave us all detentions as soon as we walked in, calling us hooligans."

"He only called us hooligans due to the fact you all were being obnoxious." Edward stated, and I sighed.

"Oh shut it, Eddie." Hunter said, smirking. I shook my head.

"Act civilized dammit!" I hissed at them while I finished a sketch for my Art class.

"Sorry Iz…" Hunter mumbled while Edward just hummed. I looked at him with my special What the hell shut the fuck up before I very damn well fucking make you look. He just shrugged, and continued to hum. I listened more closely, and noticed it was familiar. It was…. My lullaby.

I just wordlessly sat there, listening to it. I was mesmerized by the familiarity of it, the way I could still cherish it as my own. But, I was also disgusted. How could I consider cherishing anything he did for me?

Hunter continued to read his book, and I put my headphones on. I put my iPod on the highest setting, and listened to the music coming from it. But, the lullaby continued to play in my mind, not knowing I could not hear the composer of it hum it anymore.

"Iz, we're going to the Black Angels Café." Nixie said, and my ears perked up.

"That place is still around?!" I asked. She grinned and nodded. I bit my lip.

"When you say we, you mean?"

"Everyone. Including jackass."

I sighed. As if baby sitting them last week wasn't enough. Nooo. Now, when the couples are off dancing, I'm gonna be stuck with the two guys. Hell, I'd rather get shot in the face. But, it probably wouldn't hurt. But, you get my point.

"Why do you try to push my decision?" I said, and Nixie turned to look at me.

"If you don't, who will?" She said, and went into the bathroom. Her words left a chill in me, and I pondered over what she said. If you don't, who will? The words left me confused, yet they made sense. I continued to think about it and later deemed myself insane.

"Come on! Dance already!" Elyon said, and I glared at her.

"You do not know how strongly I wish I could get my self wasted." I said, and Elliot came along with Nixie.

"My my Izzy. Aren't you the raging alcoholic?" He said, and I gave him my death glare. Nixie just grinned. Jared was off probably pranking someone. Hunter was sitting in one of the booths, brooding. Edward was doing the same, only in another area of the club/café.

"Fuck off." I said, and Elliot just smirked.

"Naw. I'm your annoying older brother. You're supposed to tell me "fuck off", and I'm supposed to tell you to tell your boyfriend that. So, tell that Mr. Brooding."

"When did you become such a smart ass? Dammit Nixie. You have officially corrupted him."

"Good. That's been my goal for the past…. I dunno… Century?" She said, smirking. Some partiers stared at us, but we all responded their stares with glares. I guess us talking in riddles and talking as if we were way older than we looked had people stare at us. What can I say? We certainly don't censor what we say.

The night went on, and I just watched the clock tick. I had changed my looks back to normal, and felt weird being at the club. I remembered when my family told me about the tour all those decades ago. Generally, the place didn't change. It just had a lot more pictures. Pictures of past bands or artists that performed here. Many of them Fenty students by the looks of it. There was even the picture of E=MC2, although it was really faded.

I went outside to get some fresh air. The cigarette smoke in there was getting a bit too much for me. Although Fenty was a high school, it also had some college courses there. So, drinking and smoking are bound to happen. And, well, hell. The high school kids do it anyways. I guess they heed the motto "Just do it" from Nikes.

"I don't give a damn."

"Well then, neither do I."

"God, you piss me off."

I turned around, to see Edward and Hunter arguing. Edward had worn some thing Alice chose for him yet again, but it was normal clothings. He looked strangely out of place here. His attire suggested he be at the yuppies hang out, Have It All. Alice didn't really head out much though. She was either on the phone with her family, or designing something or another.

"You piss me off."

"Respect your elders little boy."

"I could be your father."

"On the contraire. First, I know I'm older. Second, I would be a dumb ass if you were."

I listened to their childish argument, and thought who was older. Hunter was 120 when I was changed, and that made him 210 now. When I met Edward, he was 104, and I'll add two years for when I was human, making it 106. Add 90 years, and you'll get 196. Hmm. Hunter was older than him. But it wasn't showing. They were acting like little kids.

"Cut it out now dammit!" I yelled, and a lot of people turned to me. I grinned and waved at them. They just shrugged it off and did what ever the hell they were doing before hand. The thing I love about my fellow misunderstood classmates. They know when not to butt the hell in.

"Would you two stop fighting dammit!" I hissed, and they turned to look at me. Edward raised an eyebrow, while Hunter observed me.

"What Edward? Gonna point out that you're older than me? Well, you're not acting like it. You too Hunter." I said, as the two opened their mouths then shut it.

Hunter opened his mouth, and what I heard I did not expect.

"Then choose one of us Iz."

Edward nodded his head, and I grimaced.

"It's not easy."

"Why not?" Edward said, and I glared at him.

"Maybe because I love you both, for reasons entirely different!" I said, and looked at the sky.

"Well, Iz, you know you're going to have to choose."

"I know!" I said, exasperation showing in my voice. It wobbled a little, but the thick headed idiots took no notice.

"Isabella. Choose. It's either me or him."

I looked at them both, and realized they were right. I had to choose.

"Give me a week." I said, and they nodded. They walked away, and I noticed that they weren't arguing for once.

Amazing what it takes to make two people stop arguing, I thought as they went back into the club. I closed my eyes, wishing it all away, wishing I had an answer. Because, I sure as hell didn't have one.

And it scares me shit less.

Now, this is the chappie before everything will go a bit confusing. Hang on with me. I'm out from school, and was having some major WB. WB is a bitch, lemme tell you that. *sigh* Now, the next chappie will be the "Hunter" chapter. Then the Edward chapter will come in. Most likely, there will be epilogues following those. I know, confusing. Trust me. I've been like oh my damn this is gonna be crazy. Thank you so much to those who have put up with my dumbness and bitchiness and tardiness. THANKS A MILLION!
