Chapter 14. Prom
"Alice I'm bringing Bella over" Edward yelled as he flew down the stairs. "ok I'll get things ready" she laughed from her room. Edward was getting Bella ready for prom although she didn't know it just yet. I laughed as I walked into Alice's room. "which dress do you think?" she asked bring a few out and displaying them in front of me. "the short green one, pretty pink one or the simple blue one?". I pretended to think about it for a while. "blue" it was the one that she was supposed to wear. "it's Edwards favourite colour on her" Alice informed putting the others away.
"do you think she'll let me put make up on her?" she questioned walking into the bathroom. "like she has a choice" I laughed sitting down on the bed. "good point, I'll do her hair as well" Alice was talking to herself again. "I'll do you now before she gets here" Alice informed coming over to me. "hold on a second" I snapped stepping away from her "I'm not crashing prom". she rolled her eyes, "but of course you are, you have to come for photos. family is always there" she smiled grabbing my arm. "it's not like you'll never have a prom again" I muttered struggling against her hold. "but its Bella's first prom. this is special" she refused to let go and pulled me into the bathroom.
I read Alice's mind and took her plans. a simple baby pink dress that went to my knees, a loose bun with ringlets hanging free and a simple whit ribbon. she even went down to simple white shoes. "all done" I laughed putting it all on in the blink of an eye. I imagined myself as twelve and with Maddy behind me. "you can't go in the same dress" Alice snapped appalled. I rolled my eyes then changed Maddy's dress to a light purple colour. "happy now?" I breathed linking arms with my twin. "I suppose so" she sighed letting us go. "but stay out of Bella's sight. you'll tip her off if she sees you all dressed up" she instructed as we left the room.
"mum!" I called walking into her room. "yes darling" she answered stepping out of the wardrobe in a beautiful red dress. "do we have to go to the prom?" I asked sitting down on her bed. "just come for photos then Esme will take you both back home. there'll be others grades there as well. they always dress up for photos then leave" she smiled walking over to her dresser. "fine, I suppose Alice wouldn't let me get out of it anyway" I laughed leaning back. I sat patiently watching as Rosalie did her hair. she had the same loose bun as Maddy and I. "go tell your father to get ready will you" she breathed irritated. "he always leaves it till the last minuet then we turn up late" I did as she asked and went down stairs. Emmett was sitting on the couch watching TV with Jasper.
"Mum said to go get ready" I muttered standing beside him. "in a minuet" he whispered still glued to the TV. "Now!" I yelled glaring at him. "ok, ok far out. if looks could kill" he murmured getting up. "better" I sighed walking into the kitchen. "you look beautiful" Esme smiled kindly as we sat down at the bench. "Tank you" Maddy laughed straitening her ribbon. "can you bring us back after photos? I refuse to stay" I laughed tapping my shoes on the chair. "of course" Esme was so kind, she would do anything for anyone. "tank you so much" I smiled standing up at the sound of a car. "Edwards here I should probably get out of the way before I tip Bella off to his plans" I laughed running out of the room With Maddy by my side.
I only just made it up the stairs and out of sight as Edward brought Bella in. I continued to race up the stairs to my room as he raced her up the stairs and into Alice's room. "why are we going in here for?" Bella asked as she was shuffled into the room. "I'm taking you out. Alice is going to get you ready" he muttered following her into the room. Bella really was dumb sometimes. she's getting all dressed up on the night of the prom and she thinks Edward is going to change her. but of course that's a black suit and tie occasion. what else would Edward be getting dressed up for. the way Bella's mind worked was very confusing. I sat at the top of my stairs out of sight waiting.
it only took a few minuets for Alice to work her magic. Edward was leaning on the wall just outside her bedroom Waiting. "thank you Alice" he smiled as he linked arms with Bella. "Edward where are we going" Bella persisted as he walked her down the stairs. "it's a surprise" he laughed leading her straight out the door. Alice waited patiently for the sound of the car. "their gone! everybody lets go" she yelled running into her room to get ready. Rosalie came out of her room and went to go up the stairs to get me. "hello" she laughed as she stopped herself just before she ran into me. "ready?" she asked taking my hand.
I nodded then walked with her down stairs. "come on! lets go!" Alice called holding the door open. "do we really have to go to another prom?" Jasper sighed walking to the door. she didn't answer him, but the look she gave him shut him up completely. "in the car" Esme laughed holding the door open for Maddy and I. Rosalie sat in the front and the others took Jaspers car. "we'll take the back way and get their before Edward" Esme laughed speeding down the road. for some reason her driving this fast came as a shock to me. I guess I thought she drove like a normal person, but I suppose she was a vampire so I should have expected it.
as expected we made it to the dance before Bella and Edward. we all got out and walked over to where photos where being taken. Alice ordered photo after photo and some how I managed to be in all of them. smiling over and over again and Bella still wasn't even here. "smile" Alice ordered getting the camera ready again. "my cheeks hurt" I lied frowning at her. "one more" she agreed still holding the camera. Rosalie laughed as I put on another smile for Alice. "beautiful" Alice commented putting the camera down for now. I took my chance and ran. "hello ladies" Josh laughed walking over to us. he'd had his hair cut, and he'd put it into a jumble of spikes. I tried to smile as he walked over. he looked a lot better now that he didn't have that mop of hair on his head.
"you look beautiful" he smiled linking arms with us. "you don't look to bad yourself" I commented nodding in approval. "do you like my hair? I was getting tired of having it so long" he confessed. "it makes you look more respectable" Maddy whispered looking at it. "oh you found your friend! smile" Alice chimed getting the camera ready again. I rolled my eyes the smiled, josh brought us closer to his side and grinned happily. "just you two" Alice ordered grabbing Maddy's hand. I went to object but Josh grabbed my waist and held me slightly in front of him. he clearly didn't mind. I put my hands over the top of his and smiled for Alice's sake. as soon as the camera flashed I moved my hands and stepped out of his grip.
"there you are josh" his mum came running over with another camera. I tried to casually walk away but he grabbed my hand. "oh aren't you two adorable, let me get a picture" she smiled getting her camera ready, josh took this as his chance and pulled me in again. back to hands around my waist and a huge happy grin. I smiled sweetly waiting patiently for her to figure out how to use the thing. "there all done" she smiled nodding at it in approval. josh walked over to his mother trying to get a look at the picture, I took this as my chance and made a run for it. I soon found Rosalie again. she was watching as Bella and Edward had their photo taken.
Maddy was standing beside her. this had been the first time I controlled her from a distance. "I'm over photos" I whispered linking arms with Maddy. "can we go now Esme?" I asked pulling Maddy away from Rosalie. "yes I think Alice is done with photos for now" she laughed putting a hand on our shoulders. "we'll see you guys when you get home" Esme called to the rest of them. Alice was to busy posing for a photo with Jasper to even notice we had disappeared. "have fun" I told Bella as she was taken into the dancing room. "please don't make me do this Edward" she muttered as he pulled her in.
"aren't you staying for a while" Josh asked running after us. "no we came for the photos and now where going. Maddy doesn't feel well" I lied following after Esme. "but I'll be all alone if you leave" he whined still following us. "the whole schools here!" I yelled walking faster. "please stay" he muttered grabbing my hand. I rolled my eyes and let out a gust of air. "why theirs nothing to do here" I snapped yanking my hand free. "stay with me, we can dance" he suggested grabbing my hand again. "but Maddy's sick" I objected still walking. "well then let her go home, you stay" he wasn't interested in Maddy! he liked me. why did he like me? I'd threatened to punch his lights out and yet he still followed me!
"I'll take Maddy home dear, you can get a ride home with Rosalie" Esme smiled taking Maddy's hand. I stopped stunned my arm dropped out of Maddy's grip and I stared at Esme. "great come on Lissa" Josh said grabbing my hand. Esme smiled then walked off with Maddy. why was she doing this? why was she leaving me here? why was she leaving me here with him? I stood their open mouthed as Esme drove away. "let's go dance" Josh grinned linking arms with me. I pulled myself together as I followed him. "I have to tell my family I'm still here first. I don't want them to leave with out me" I whispered pulling him over to the general direction of my family.
"what are you still doing here" Rosalie asked smiling as she noticed Josh on my arm. "Esme left me" I muttered angrily looking back towards Josh. "she stayed with me. she's my date now" he smiled explaining it to Rosalie. she just smiled at me, "have you had a photo then?" Rosalie asked avoiding my dart shooting eyes. "yes!" I snapped pulling Josh away. "I'll come and get you when were leaving" Rosalie laughed as we walked off. "can we dance now?" he asked as we walked into the music pumping room. "fine" I muttered looking at the room. Jacob was dancing with Bella and Edward was leaning against the wall angrily. "my first date" Josh whispered pulling me onto the dance floor. "I'm not going out with you or anything" I snapped as he started to dance with me. Alice and jasper were already spinning and twirling their way threw the floor. everyone got out of their way.
"would you ever consider it?" he asked spinning me around. "I've only known you a few days and so far all you've been is a pain in the ass" I laughed stating the truth. "but maybe, yes I might consider it one day" he seemed to glow at my words. "brilliant" he smiled. "what is it about me that you like so much?" I asked curiously as we moved further into the middle of the dancing couples. "I love your beautiful face, the glorious colour of your hair. your personality, your patients. usually by now a girl would have slapped me if I was annoying them as much as I do you" he laughed at his last remark. "so that's what I have to do to get rid of you" I smiled.
"I love everything about you. your different from the other girls around here" he whispered slowing down. suddenly we stopped dancing. "I've never felt this way about a girl before, I can't seem to leave you alone. even if I tried" he whispered. "you're the first girl I've really liked since moving here from the reservation.". Wait! hold up did he just say the reservation? werewolf land. he wasn't going to turn into a werewolf was he? the only problem there is that the more vampires in the area the more werewolves there are. hopefully he didn't share the same genes. wait, what did I care? it wasn't as though I was in love with him or anything.
