Recap:
I glanced toward Mick and he knew what I wanted. So he walked up to Aro and touched his hand. I could trust Mick he would be able to give the most important information of all, which was on the forefront of my mind. There was a second of silence in which one by one the heads and the stronger guards turned to look at me. First Caius, then Marcus, Jane and Alec, then Felix and Demetri and just when it was becoming uncomfortable, finally Aro lifted his head and look at me.
I turned and walked out the door.

This time around we went on a private jet though this time we're stopping in Florida so I can visit with my aunt Renée for an hour or two. Then hop back on the jet and head over to Seattle, Washington. Uncle Mick's going to drive Stacii, I'm taking Marrillyn and Ana should be at Jake's by now. He's probably having fun showing off 'his' awesome bike to everyone on the Rez.
"I'm gonna be makin' a quick stop in La Push to tell Jake to follow me into Forks before I head over to Uncle Char's." I told Mick over the little black Bluetooth in my ear. "Okay but be careful." I remained quiet hoping he would dismiss it. "Promise me, Cam." I still remained silent "Cam." Ugh, this man is relentless! "Okay! Fine! I promise! I won't go on a ride on Sam." That still leaves Jared. "Or anyone else." "Fucking shit Mick! That is so incredibly unfair!" "You kind of need to stay healthy Cassandra." Damn he broke out with the 'Cassandra' shit but he's right I need to take better care of myself. "Okay I promise I won't go and take any rides on any one." I responded somberly. "Okay. Then I'll see you when you get to your uncle's house." "Yeah. I'll see you there."
I disconnected the call and turned the radio station up. The station DJ's blasting through the speakers as he introduced the next song "This is KLLM 103.9 FM with all your music needs and our next song is one of my personal favorites and number 4 on VH1's top 20 countdown… Shinedown's Second Chance!
My eyes are open wide
And by the way, I made it
Through the day
I watched the world outside
By the way, I'm leaving out
Today
Oh god are you serious. Why does this song have to come on now of all times.
Well, I just saw Hailey's
Comet shooting
Said why you always running
In place?
Even the man in the
Moon disappears
Somewhere in the
Stratosphere
This was the song he sang for me on my seventeenth birthday he sang it and then told me that I should follow my dreams. He knew how badly I wanted to become a professional dancer. So he took singing classes and my seventeenth birthday he sang it to me. I was so proud and I almost told him the huge secret I'd been keeping from him.
Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying...
Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance
He knew I that I didn't want to leave my family, and that I didn't care much for Nora. He knew I wanted to make my dream become a reality so badly.
Please don't cry
One tear for me
I'm not afraid of
What I have to say
This is my one and
Only voice
So listen close, it's
Only for today
I hope that I still can make my dream come true just so that everything he wished for me won't be in vain.
Well, I just saw Hailey's
Comet shooting
Said why you always running
In place?
Even the man in the
Moon disappears
Somewhere in the
Stratosphere
He's gone so now I have to go it alone. I have to do this for him.
Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying...
Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance
This is going to be somewhat of a new beginning for me.
Here's my chance
This is my chance
I will get back to you.
Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying...
Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance
I promise you.
Sometimes goodbye
I will.
Is a second chance
"I love you Derek where ever you may be." I murmured as a single tear slid down my cheek. The song finished and as another was starting I realized that I was nearly at Jake's house, so I turned down the radio and wiped away the errant tear.
I turned down the street and just as I expected the three buffoons where there in the driveway, Jake leaning on my bike and Embry and Quil ogling the shit out of my baby. I pulled up right behind there dumb asses and started to get out of the car when six arms yanked me out and pulled me into a creepy group hug as they all simultaneously yelled my nickname. "Uh guys?" I muttered after a while. "Can you let go now I'm losing air?" They loosened their grip and let me step back. "Look at you all sexy in that spiffy black shirt, tight ass jeans and converse." I struck a pose and we all laughed. We talked for a while about what had been happening and after a while I decided I should get my business done.
"So Jake where's your dad? I really need to talk to him." "He's at a meeting with the other elders. They should be just about done." "Do you know if Sam is there? I really need to talk to him." "He should be, he is one the elders. Can I ask though why do you always talk to him? If your in love with him you need to know that he's not gonna to leave Emily." I laughed at the notion of me being in love with Sam. "No Jake," I laughed. "I'm definitely not in love with Sam." "Then why do you have to talk to him about all the time?"
I sobered up quickly at that question. "It's complicated. I'll tell you when the time is right." I sighed at the thought of having my best friend go through that but I knew I couldn't stop it. "I'm gonna go and I'll be back with Billy once I'm done talking with Sam." I informed Jake heading back to my car. "When I get back you're following me back on my bike. Okay!" I said with the peppiest voice I could muster never straying my eye from the car until I finished. I turned around as Jake nearly fell on his ass and the guys went slack jawed and second later started cracking up.
"Sam how much longer do they have?" I asked the Quileute pack's alpha standing next to me as I watched Billy interact with a few of the other elders. He looked at his feet "It seems to me like it'll be only a few more weeks," he looked up at Billy, "two months at most. What's confusing me the most is that it seems that Quil, Embry and Seth might potentially change. So many boys at one time and so young at that."
I looked at him silently contemplating if I should tell him what I think I might have seen. I turned my head down and barely whispered "Leah is another." He quickly caught it though with his sensitive hearing and his head whipped around to stare at me "No." He ground out between his clenched jaw. "Sam you have to see the facts she getting taller her figure is becoming more refined. It's only a matter of time. It will be harder for her because we both know if she does its for a reason she doesn't know. Nobody but you and I know. I want you to keep someone by her at all times I don't care if you have to order them. This could hurt Harry." His eyes had softened and started to water during my speech. We both looked up as the door opened and Leah walked in and went to her father who promptly stood and walked out with her. "I'm sorry about all this. I know it's all because I'm here." Damn! What's with my hormones? "No Cam. It isn't, its just in our blood." He put his arm around me in a comforting manner.
I glance at my watch and realized the time. "Shit! I have to go Sam I said I was going to be at my uncles an hour ago." I gave Sam a sideways hug and called out to Billy to let him know we had to leave. We got to the car and remembered I could lift so I ran back in and asked Sam to help me get Billy into the car. Once he was in and we once again said our 'good bye's I took of and the real fun began.
"So when are you going to tell Charlie?" My blood ran cold. "What do you mean Billy?" "You know what I'm talking about. If you don't tell him I will." "I-I'll tell him in a couple days. Once all the excitement of my move starts to die down." "You better." After a few moments in an awkward silence we started to talk away like nothing. Now lets just hope things so this smooth when I got to the Cullen's with Mick later on.
A.N. Sorry it took me a bit longer than I thought it would to get a project done. So there you go. You know the drill. And something extra for the person who can guess what Billy was talking about. I'm going to erase the review if it's right so it doesn't spoil it for everyone else. Oh and just incase you ask yes the radio station is a real station in Forks. Peace. Love.
