CHPATER 12

We got ready and I was worrying about what Collin was going to say. I didn't want another repeat of what happened last time we went to the Lodge. That better not happen. After Jade was done getting ready, again she took longer, we went down stairs to find it empty. Last night we had told the boys to just come in and watch TV while we got ready. Maybe the coast is clear, we won't fight again. We walked out to the car got in and started it, still no sign of Collin or Brady. We drove and as we got closer to the treaty line we saw the whole pack walking down the street. They saw us, oh no what was going to happen now? Brady and Collin walked right in front of our car and we stopped. Collin walked around to my door, I rolled down my window.

"Is there a problem officer?" I asked with an innocent look on my face. He leaned over into the car and kissed me. I can't believe it still took my breath away.

"Yes there is license and registration please"

"And what did I do wrong?" I asked still trying to look innocent trying not to laugh.

"You didn't wait for me"

"Well we're meeting a friend to go shopping in Seattle"

"Oh which friend, one you met at the Lodge?"

"Yes, are you okay with that?"

"Surprisingly yes, I don't want to lose you again so I'm learning how to deal with it"

"That's great" I said really surprised.

"Okay I'll let you get on your way, I'll see when you get back home" he kissed me good bye and I looked over at Jade. Brady and she had a conversation too and they were saying goodbye, and Jade and I were on our way.

I felt so free.

We got to the Lodge, we had talked all the way there and everything that had happened today seemed like the making of the perfect day.

When we walked in the Lodge we were surprised at what we saw. We saw all of the Cullen's there, Rosalie was in the back, and she looked as if she would be crying if she could. Edward was the closest one to us, he looked really hungry, his eyes were pitch black and he had deep purple circles under his eyes. He looked mad. What could we have done to offense them this much? We didn't do anything.

"Well hello, you have kept us waiting a while" Edward said as he walked closer to us. Jade and I walked backwards with every step he took. He really had started to freak us out.

"Kept you waiting for what, we just came because Rose called, what are all of you doing here" I said in a rush really scared now.

"I didn't like the way we left off last time, so I had Rose call you with a fake invitation to go shopping. I knew you and your little dogs had worked things out so I knew they wouldn't follow you here so we could all have a fair share at you." He said all I could think was how could they hate us so much what did we say what did we think that made them hate us so much.
