Chapter twelve
While Jonathan drove, I couldn't help to feel a bit nervous. After all - meeting your boyfriends family would be tough enough without them being vampires. I think it's okay for me to say that I didn't see this coming, but after all; it wasn't entierly out of the blue, I'd known there were something odd about them from the very beginning. But the thought of Nessie, the best friend I'd ever had - apart from my aunt - wasn't even human hit me the hardest. Just my luck. At least I knew Jonathan wasn't a mysterious, mytical being. Wait - he wasn't, right?
- Uhm, Jonathan? I called on his attention. We were a few miles out of town now. He turned to look at me, taking his eyes off the road.
- You are human, right? I asked, nervous. To my big surprise, he started laughing. Though his hysterical laughter, he managed to nod. I muttered something about I take that as a yes under my breath, before I got worried about him crashing the car.
- Keep your eyes on the road, I said a bit louder. He turned his gaze forward instead, still grinning.
- So if you're not a vampire, how did you... become a part of their family? I asked, curious about his past.
- I got adopted, he said and I was just about to start asking him questions when he interrupted me by pulling over in front of a big, white house. I gasped, taking in the scene in front of me. The house was really huge, located in the middle of the forest outside Port Angeles. It looked modern, with big windows and a low, black roof. I counted to four - four! - floors. It was amazing.
- Do you like it? We wanted something more modern this time, and Esme decorated it, he told me while we started walking towards the front door.
- It's beautiful, I smiled.
When we got to the door, Jonathan glanced at me before pushing down the handle. I inhaled deeply before we got in.
Of course, the inside was just as inpressing as the outside. The entire room went in black, white and green, and was very light and open. Jonathan gestured me to follow him, as he went inside. I froze on my place when I saw the whole Cullen family, sitting on the sofa. They must have been expecting us. I reconized everyone except from a beautiful woman with hair in a light, caramel color, and a blonde man standing by the and Esme, I guessed. Carlisle was the one who spoke.
- Welcome Julia, he said with a pleasant voice. He smiled friendly at me. I smiled back.
- Thank you, I said, and noticed Nessie in the back, eagerly waving at me. I smiled at her.
- We've heard so much about you, Esme smiled, and I knew I would like her. It was like she was radiating love, and her smile was whole-hearted. From the corner of my eye, I noticed Edward smiling towards Jonathan. He looked pleased.
- How much did Jonathan tell you about... us? Carlisle asked, suddenly with a serious tone.
- I told her pretty my the basics, Jonathan said, not taking his eyes from me. Edward nodded, exchanging a glance with Carlisle. What was that about?
- This all must be very new to you. You're handling it surprisingly well, Edward said, and some of his siblings nodded, smiling at me. I wasn't sure if it was a compliment or not, but I smiled at him. His parter, Bella, spoke up.
- Yes, Edward is right. She hesitated before adding:
- You remind me of myself. I smiled at her, curious about her past. She's Nessie's mom, I suddenly remembered. Wow, her story must be good.
- Do you want to see my room? Jonathan asked, and I understood that he wanted me to have a chance to ask the questions that he surely must have senced. I nodded, and he took my hand as we walked upstairs. We walked to the third floor, before the stopped outside a white door. He looked at me for a moment before opening the door.
His bedroom was modern, like the livingroom, yet it was nothing like I would have imagined. A large bookshelf occipied oen of the walls, filled with books. The rooms colors went in white, light blue and silver, and a big bed filled with cusions occupied most of the room. The room was very light, and clean, though stacks of books were lying on his desk, along with a computer.
- You like to read, huh? I asked with a bit sarcasm in my voice. He snickered and went in. I followed him, and sat down on the bed, ready to start asking him questions. He could sence that and snickered again.
- You said you were adopted? Who adopted you, and what happend with your parents? When did you find out they were vampires, and... The words came out like a river, before he stopped me, holding up his hand.
- One question at a time, miss Snow, he smiled. I just looked at him, waiting for him to start.
- Alright, I'll tell you my story, but only if you tell me yours when I'm done, he said, and I nodded.
- Well, my parents died when I was about six years old, in an accident. I had nobody who could take care of me, and no siblings. So I moved into an orphan. When I was seven years old, mom and dad - I mean Rose and Em came to see me. They wanted to adopt me. Of course I was thrilled, they were so nice to me. I grew up as a Cullen, and when I was nine, my new parents told me what they were, and they also said I could never tell a soul about their secret. I promised I wouldn't, and stayed with them. It bugges me that I'm almost their age at this point, so I... he stopped, looking bothered. I was so capted by his story I didn't realize it at first.
- So what did you do? I asked, encouraging him to continue, though my intuition told me it was bad.
- I decided to become like them, he whispered. I gasped.
- You decided what? I yelled, shocked that he would want to... Become a...
- Julia, you must understand, I belong with them! They are my family! he tried to reason with me, but I was too mad at him, for making such a decicion. He would leave me? He would become a vampire? He wouldn't be Jonathan anymore.
- When? I snapped at him.
- When I turn eighteen, he whispered.
- And when is that?
- In two months, he said without looking at me. Suddenly my rage was gone, replaced by ice. He was leaving me in two months. He didn't want to be with me. I had two months. I got up.
- Julia? Where are you going? Julia please stay! He begged as I walked towards the door, but I didn't care. This was all a mistake.
