Chapter 21:

Lucky Can't Even Cover It

"What?" I said as I got up squinting.

I had actually nearly fallen asleep in that little time. I looked through my nearly closed eyes and saw the figure of my dad at my door. I could faintly see people behind him and I guessed it was the rest of my family. I held back a groan.

"What is it dad?" I said grumpily. "It's . . ." I checked my clock. "1 o'clock in the morning" I yawned loudly.

"Don't try that on me young lady. You snuck out and were out all afternoon and night!" he said.

Yep, I was totally right, they knew . . . now I just have to—

"Dad? Can you accuse me of . . . whatever it is you are accusing me of in the morning . . . you know, around 8 o'clock?" I asked sleepily.

"What is with all the racket?" Jake said as he walked sleepily towards my room. "What now bloodsucker. Do you know what time it is?" he said playing along and smiling slightly at me.

"Both of you snuck out last—well tonight and I know it so stop acting" Dad said angrily.

"Okay dad, I'll go along with this so I can go to bed sooner, where exactly would we go?" I asked.

"Bears Creek . . . where you wanted to go with your friends." He said angrily.

"Dad . . . why would we go hiking and to a lake and a waterfall when it's like 40 degrees and is pouring freezing rain?" I asked.

I think we actually had this one in the bag. I really didn't know if it rained or not. The ground was really mushy when I got in so I'm going on an assumption basis here. Dad hesitated for a second as he looked us over.

"Mom should know, I was pissed at her for not being able to go and then Jack told me we would wait for a warmer day so I just hung out with Jake" I explained.

"What about the camera and the speaker on your bed?" he asked.

"You mean IPod amplifier?" I asked.

"Homework?"

"Done" I said as I grabbed it from my backpack and showed him. "Can I go back to bed now?" I begged.

He looked back and forth between Jake and I for a second before nodding.

"I'm sorry for accusing you" he said sincerely as he turned off the light.

The second he left, I let out a long breath. That was . . . way too close for comfort, let's put it that way. I sighed and let my head fall back. I fell asleep soon after into an uneasy sleep. I woke up again 6am.

I groaned. I knew there was a very slim chance I would fall asleep again. I got ready and headed down slowly. My parent's room was closed and there were a couple thumps so I steered clear. Rosalie and Emmett's room was the same.

"Ugh" I said as I walked down.

I was about to go to the kitchen when I heard voice from inside.

"I don't know Jazz, the vision is really scaring me. I don't know when it will happen. All I know is Edward is going to go too far one of these days and then . . . oh!" she said as put her head down.

I tried to extend my powers. I had mom's shield . . . sort of. If pushed it around someone, then I could read their thoughts like dad that but that's just about all I could do with it . . . and it was hard. I concentrated hard and finally, I felt it pushing away from me and wrapping around Alice. That's when I saw the vision that haunted me for a long time.

'Edward comes running in the house and begins yelling at Jake' 'Jake and Edward fighting each other' 'Mom and I at a funeral, mom sobbing and I crying' and the vision ended.

My eyes widened as my brain tried to process this but I couldn't. My dad and Jake were going to fight one day and someone was going to . . . no! It wouldn't happen. I ran up to my room and collapsed on my bed trying to think but ended up falling asleep in my exhaustion.

"Ness, honey, wake up" Jake said as he shook me.

I jumped up awake, nearly scaring Jake right out of his skin.

"Umm . . . yeah. Let me brush my hair and I'll be right down" I said as I got out.

I brushed my hair slowly, my hand shaking. I just . . . I couldn't believe it. I finished getting my hair ready and grabbed my backpack quickly, running down stairs.

"Nessie?" my dad called.

"What?!?!" I said as I jumped and turned at the same time.

"Are you okay?" he asked worriedly.

"Umm . . . y-y-y-e-e-a-h. Just a bit jumpy" I said as I walked to the kitchen.

Jake was already there having breakfast. I grabbed a granola bar and a glass of milk, eating them quickly and running to brush my teeth. Once I was done, I headed down to wait for Jake.

"Ness?" he called and I jumped so high Alice probably could've walked under me. "You okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, fine" I said as we walked out. 'Come on Nessie, get a grip on yourself! It's just a vision. Visions can change'

I was still sort of jumpy when we got to school but I was better. We went to class quickly, since we were already a bit late.

"Last night we got really lucky" Jake said as we sat down.

"Lucky can't even cover it . . . that lake must have been mixed with liquid luck . . . I'm just never that lucky, it's not possible" I said and he laughed.

"We had pretty good cover evidence though" he said and I laughed.

I knew it was wrong to deceive my parents but I finally had friends, a sort of normal life and they had to loosen up a bit. Language passed way to quickly and I had to leave Jake again.

"See you in a couple of hours" he said as he kissed me and walked out.

I sighed happily and headed off to Calc.

"Yesterday was amazing, huh Nessie?" Matt asked and I nodded.

"It was incredible!" I agreed.

"Yeah, we may be a small town but we have some pretty amazing places" Lily said and I smiled.

"Yeah, I've always lived in small towns and they're always special" I agreed again.

Calc passed quick and so did Art. We were learning about the color wheel so I just took out my sketch pad and began to draw Jake as a wolf. I already knew all there was to know about Art.

When it was time to head to government, I couldn't help smiling. I wonder what would happen now. I walked in and found a lady I had never seen before behind his desk. I headed back with Dorothy, Chris, Jack, Hannah and Maddie and sat down.

"So, where's Mr. Pay?" I asked and they shrugged,

"Hello everyone! I'm Mrs. Hazelnut! Your former teacher, Mr. Pay had a mental breakdown and is currently residing in a psychiatric hospital until he is well so I shall be your sub for the rest of the year! Isn't that just peachy?!" she said happily.

Peachy? Did she seriously just say that? She began teaching and I knew this class was going to be slightly annoying. She talked in a high, shrilly voice and talked to us like we were kindergarteners. It sort of reminded me of a mouse. By the end of class, I was ready to explode with her squeaky voice. Couldn't we get a good teacher?

"Bye guys!" I said as I walked to Jake. "I think Mrs. Hazelnut gave me a headache" I said as I reached him.

"Mr. Pay's sub? Yeah, she talks like a mouse" he said as we walked to the cafeteria.

We grabbed our lunches and headed over to our table.

"So Jake, what did you think of Bears Creek?" Jack asked.

"It was a pretty awesome place" Jake admitted.

"Look, I brought all the pictures you guys wanted to see" Lily said and Thomas also took out some that he had brought.

We spent the whole time just looking at pictures and hearing the stories they had to tell us. By the time the bell rang, I had barely eaten anything but my appetite was gone anyway.

"Ness, you should eat" Jake said as I went to throw out my food.

"Here" I said as I grabbed the granola bar from my plate. "Better?"

"Yes, thank you. I don't want you starving later" he said and I laughed as we headed to Biology.

Mrs. Oxlyn was giving some lecture that I had already learned so I hardly paid her any attention. I took out my sketch book and began to draw the scene from Alice's vision. I hated the vision and it still scared me but maybe if I drew it, I could figure out when it happened. I drew with as much detail as I could but still, when I finished, I still couldn't see anything that would help. I took out Jake and dad fighting to get a clearer image. I looked everywhere, there was nothing. No clock, no calendar. The flowers were the same as they are now . . . everything is the same! I put my stuff away quickly when the bell rang.

"Nessie? You okay?" Jake asked.

"Yeah, fine" I said distractedly.

"Nessie" he said as he pulled me aside against the building. "What is going on?"

"Nothing Jake, It's okay" I said as I went to leave.

"Nessie" he said as he barred my way and lifted my chin making me look into his eyes. "Tell me" he said as he breathed on me making me lose my train of though

"Look, it's no big deal" I gave in as I showed him the first part of Alice's vision.

After I finished showing him, he laughed.

"Don't worry, I'll be safe" he said and I pushed him playfully as we went to gym.

Yet I knew, there wasn't a guarantee that was true.
