Rah hah! Another chapter. I am seriously trying to find more and more ideas so that I may finish this and have a done story (so that you guys don't have to wait another six months for another chapter) but it's hard, ya know?
Anyway, Samantha has been changed to Rachel, mainly because I didn't like the whole Sam and Samantha thing. I did try to find and change all the chapters where she is mentioned, but this story is on three different computers, each having different chapters on them. Sorry. So if you can let me know what chapters I still need to fix, that would be great.
Finally, thank you all who followed and favorited both the story and myself. Thank you so much. Enjoy this chapter...even though it's short.
Chapter 21 (Holy cow….21)
Two weeks have gone by since Alice and I….made up. Or, as Rosalie likes to put it, I pulled my head out of my ass and saw the light of day. Things are back to normal, we go to school, come home and do our homework, play video games, and go through combat training to prepare for Sam, your everyday, completely normal routine. The only problem is that it's been two weeks, and there have been no sightings, death threats, or even strongly worded letters. It's been completely silent. Which has me tearing my hair out in frustration and nervousness, and as Emmett so kindly said, "dude, relax. You would look fucking ugly bald." I got the last laugh when both Alice and Rosalie smacked him upside the head.
Anyway, the point is that Sam hasn't given any indication that he knows I'm back. But he does know and I know he knows because Seth was good on his word about keeping me updated. He told me that Sam knows, but does nothing. Absolutely nothing. Has them do normal patrolling and training, but they have been put under strict orders to not confront us. When I asked Seth why he just shrugged before apologizing and returning to the reservation.
Which leads us to now. Alice and I cuddled on the same seat on the couch watching Emmett attempting to beat Jasper and Edward in Halo. Oh, yeah, Edward is back. Not that the first few days were awkward or anything, no. Sure, everyone but Carlisle and Esme glared at him and gave him the cold shoulder, but we're past that now…mostly.
"BOOM! Suck it Edward! Head shot, maybe you should learn to find cover." Emmett's shouts were cut off as his player was launched through the air, lifeless and the in game voice kindly informed him that he had lost the lead. "What?"
"You just took a rocket to the face, essentially," Jasper says smugly, "maybe you should learn to find cover?"
"That's not fair! I was rubbing it in Edward's face! Come on!" He desperately glances at Rosalie who shakes her head, holding her hands up.
"If you would have taken two seconds to look at your screen, you would have seen me." Jasper says, taking the opportunity to feed Emmett's character another rocket.
"DUDE! Not cool!" Emmett says, focusing completely on the game and ignoring Jasper's grin and slight shrug.
I shake my head before lifting Alice off of my lap and getting up. I give her a brief kiss before making my way outside. She shoots me a concerned look, but I just smile and continue. I'm not outside long before Alice joins me.
"I know that you want to be alone, probably, but I just wanted to come and make sure you are okay." She says wrapping her arms around my waist, pressing her forehead in between my shoulders.
"I'm fine, really. I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop, and it's taking too damn long. I just want to get this over with so that we can move on and be happy."
"I'm happy." Alice says and I turn to face her, wrapping my arms around her waist.
"I am, too. But I want to be able to be happy without being paranoid. I'm tired of constantly glancing over my shoulder looking for things prowling in the shadows." I say, my shoulders dropping.
"I know, sweetheart. All of this waiting is wearing you out." Alice says softly, reaching up and running a thumb across newly formed bags under my eyes. "Sam isn't known for his patience. This whole thing is bound to end soon."
"I just wish I knew when." I whine dropping my head to Alice's shoulder.
Alice stiffens suddenly and a violent growl rips through her chest. I barely turn around in time to see a light blonde wolf shift into human form.
"I might be able to help you with that." The girl says and I pull myself away from Alice, and quickly step towards our visitor.
"Rachel! And you're naked, why are you always naked when we meet?"
I promise I'm already working on the next chapter. Promise. I love you guys, thanks for reading.
