Chapter 14

Izy POV

"Thank you, Jane. From now on, whatever was in the past is in the past. Because I didn't know you and you didn't know me. How about we start new from this moment?"

"I'd like that very much, Izy. It means a lot. You know Izy you are one of the only people who would ever enjoy being near Alec or myself. I know you don't see yourself clearly, but you should know that you are special. Everyone else can tell. I mean you got all three of the brothers to smile. That hasn't happened in hundreds of years. You have made Alec happier than I have ever seen him. You gave sad old loner Demetri a mate, too. And I hopefully will have an amazing new friend that loves to go shopping." She said with a sweet and innocent smile.

"I'd love to be your friend Jane. I'd also love to go shopping with you. C'mon let's go get Vicky and everyone else. And then onto the mall to find our perfect dresses. And then shoes. And then jewelry. Om my gosh, before it was just me and Vicky, but I have a feeling that this is going to be so much more fun." I said.

"Yes, okay let's go." She said and we started running towards Demetri's room. Sure enough Vicky and Demetri were practically nude, but Vicky and I were close. We had been through enough that we really didn't care how the other saw each other. So, Vicky just stood up straight and looked me in the eye. Demetri was practically hiding behind her, while trying to get his clothes back on. Vicky just looked at us and said, "Don't you ever learn how to knock Izy?"

"Well, that would take my fun out of you getting a mate wouldn't it. Besides, I have seen you in worse positions. Haven't I?" I said with an evil grin.

"What do you mean? What has she caught you doing Victoria?" Demetri asked looking very sad.

"Oh, it's nothing really. Izy and I have lived together a long time, and she has yet to learn to knock before opening doors. She would always come into my room when I was changing. It happened so many times to both of us that we just got over it." Vicky replied while glaring me down. "Now you better watch your naked butt sister. I'll wait outside your door if I have too. I'll even bet Jane will help me."

"You know, I would love to help you guys get back at each other, just don't include me when it involves my brother naked. That's one of the things I will never want to see. So thanks but no thanks." Jane said.

"I hear you Jane. Seeing your brother naked is almost as bad as your dad seeing you naked." I shivered in disgust.

"Did that happen to you?" Demetri asked.

"No, but that was my high school nightmare, because we had to share the only bathroom in the house and it didn't have a lock on the door." I told them.

"Well, that's a relief. I thought you were going to say that your dad found a guy in room at night." Vicky said with a smirk.

"He had enough opportunities to do that." I whispered.

"What do you mean by that exactly, Izy?" Jane said in shock.

"Well, Edward used to climb into my room every night through my window and he would just lay with me every night. My dad could have caught me with Edward any night for a whole year." I said like it was no big deal, but it really wasn't. The past is the past.

"Wow, you guys were way closer than I thought. I mean he killed James for you, but wow." Vicky said. I had never told anyone how close we actually were, she just assumed because of how much I told her and upset I was that he left me.

"Yeah, he even said that he was going to change me one day. But then James came along, and no, it's not your fault Vicky. But James came along and Edward decided it was too dangerous for me to be near him and his family, so he forced them to leave." I told them.

"Jeez, I'm sorry. I know it wasn't my fault but. I think that you are better off here with Alec than you ever were with Edweirdo." Vicky said.

"I know I am. With Alec, all my dreams are coming true. I have never been happier in my life. I am never going to go back to the way my life used to be. Wait, did you call him Edweirdo."

"Yes, she did. And I must say it is a very fitting name." Jane said.

"Well, this is just a tip, but if you want to get under his skin you should call him Eddie. He hates that. But you never heard that from me." I said with a wink. "Now, weren't we going shopping."

"YES! SHOPPING!" Jane yelled.

"I never expected that to come from Jane. Never." I said.

"Well, get used to it. Jane is the shopaholic of the Volturi. Some people say that it is hard to decide which is worse, letting her use her power on you or having to go shopping for a day with her. I think her power, but that's just because I love shopping." Some nice lady said. "Oh and by the way my name is Chelsea and you don't have to ask. My power is to manipulate the bonds between people. I can't mess with strong bonds, especially mates. I can't do anything to really strong mates, like you and Alec, Izy." She smiled at me. I like her, she's really nice.

"Wow. Thanks."

"No problem, but we should go. Making Jane wait to go shopping is like stalling an explosion, it just builds up." Chelsea said.
