New Moon

Me: HELLO ONE AND ALL! It's finally time for New Moon! And, just a warning, this is where the story gets really different! I wanted to diverse Ana from Bella as much as I could, and I'm pretty sure I did a good job considering how the story is going to go from here! And I can't wait for you guys to see-Oops! Almost gave it away! You'll have to wait and find out what I was going to talk about! MWAHAHA! Anyway, please enjoy!

"Hey. Wake up."

"Come on, Ana. Wake up."

"WAKE UP!" a shout startled me awake.

"Huh, wha?" I ask, shooting up, knocking Zerachiel to the ground. He was apparently the one calling me. Only in my head….

*OW!*

"Sorry, Zerachiel. I just had the weirdest dream…"

*That you grew super old and Edward stayed exactly the same as he is now?*

*How'd you know?*

*Simple. If everyone could hear thoughts, THEY'D BE ABLE TO HEAR YOUR DREAM FROM HONG KONG! Sheesh! Talk about depressing!*

*Well, sorry! Now get out so I can get ready for school!* He quickly trots out of the room, as I sit back up. I look next to me and see my copy of Romeo and Juliet on my bed. I pick it up and look over the cover. "I really got to stop reading tragedies before bed" I say to myself, throwing the back across the room, blindly. I get dressed and head downstairs where Dad and Bella are waiting.

"Happy birthday!" Bella exclaims, hugging me, "You are officially 17 years old! Not as great as being 18, but hey, you're a year closer!"

"Shut up!" I tell her with a grin. I look at Dad who's holding three gifts. "I thought we agreed no presents."

"Mine's not wrapped, so it doesn't count" Dad says, handing me a camera with a bow on it, "Your mom and Bella on the other hand."

"It's your birthday! You get presents whether you like it or not!" Bella says, handing me her wrapped present. I open it and take out a sparkly customized iphone case. I think she made it sparkly on purpose….

"Thanks Bella" I tell her, snorting in amusement, and she smiles widely.

"And this is from your mom" Dad hands me another wrapped gift. I unwrap it and take out an empty scrapbook for the camera dad gave me. "You mom coordinated out presents."

"She would" I mutter as Zerachiel comes in and puts something on my leg.

"I think your dog just gave you a birthday present" Bella says, smirking as I lift up a dead rat.

"Gee. Thanks Zerachiel" I say sarcastically, holding up the rat by it's tail.

*Your welcome!* he barks.

*You did that as a prank, didn't you?*

*...Maybe…*

"Wow. Senior year. How'd you get so old?" Dad complains.

"I'm only 17! I just happened to skip a grade because I'm a freakin' genius" I whip my hair back in a fake bragging way.

"Really? Then how'd you get that grey hair?" Bella asks, pointing at my hair.

"What?!" I exclaim, taking out my phone and using camera to check for any grey hairs….That dream really had an effect…. I don't see any, and glare at Dad and Bella who are trying to conceal their laughter, "That's not funny!"

"Yes it is!" Bella laughs.

~Time Skip!~

Bella drives us to school, as I still don't have my license due to the fact that I suck at driving. Once Bella parks, we're greeted by Jessica, Mike, Angela and Eric.

"Hey, Ana, Bella. Today's the big day" Jessica says. Oh, please don't tell me Bella told everyone! "R&J essay due." Oh, phew. I was worried for a moment.

"Wherefore art thou, Ana?" Mike asks in a fake accent. We all chuckle and I remember the camera.

"Oh, hey. Our mom wants us to take pictures to remember senior year" I tell them, taking out my new camera.

"Oh, of course. Yeah" Jessica says, eager to get her picture taken. Though, Angela backs away quickly.

"I take them, I'm not in them."

"No, no, no, come here" Eric pulls her into the group.

"You'll photoshop my nose if it looks too big, right?" Jessica asks, after I take the picture.

"Don't worry, I'm in the picture. No one will be looking at your guys" Eric says jokingly.

"Let's take one of you guys" Angela offers, holding out her hand. I hand her the camera and then wrap my arms around Bella as we smile into the camera. Angela takes the picture and gives my back my camera, "Beautiful."

"Oh, good. Cullen's here" Mike says, disappointedly. I turn around and see Edward's Volvo drive in. They still don't like the Cullens, but that doesn't mean we aren't good friends.

"Well, we'll see you later" Jessica says, as she, Angela, Mike, Eric, and Bella head into school, as my boyfriend walks over to me.

"Happy birthday" he says, once he's next to me.

"Don't remind me" I mutter, hugging him.

"Oh, your birth is definitely something to celebrate" Edward chuckles.

"My aging is not."

"Your aging? I think 17 is a little young to start worrying about that" Edward laughs.

"Well, if I keep this up, I'll be older than you" I tell him.

"No you won't. I'm a hundred and nine. Next year, I'll be a hundred and ten. And then the next year-"

"I really shouldn't be dating such an old man. That's gross. I should be thoroughly repulsed" I tease with a grin.

"Uh huh" He nods, leaning down to kiss me. I've actually gotten better at it, I'm happy to admit. We kiss for a moment, before Edward pulls away, so I can get a breather.

"We have to get to class" He tells me, totally ruining the moment.

"Do we have to?" I whine.

"Yes" He laughs quietly.

"Fine. But I won't like it" I pout, getting ready to head inside, but Edward pulls me back, "Make up your mind, dude!"

"Someone wants you" He gestures over to where Jacob is walking over. Though, he's gotten more muscles.

"Ana" Jake greets as I hug him.

"Hello, biceps! You know, steroids are really bad for you, and I don't think Bella would like you very much if she knew you were taking them" I tell him, pretending to be completely serious. He chuckles.

"I'm just filling out, Ana. It wouldn't seem so drastic is we hung out more" He pouts.

"I was over your house just last weekend!" I laugh, "How often do you want to hang out?!"

"Everyday" Jake grins.

"Then, you should switch schools. You can come hang out with the pale faces" I joke.

"Uh, no. I'm alright. I prefer the Res schools exclusively. They let any old riff raff into this place" he whispers.

"And what does that make me?!"

"They let you here so they could make the appearance of being exclusive" Jacob says with a grin.

"I see. So why are you here?" I ask him, curiously.

"I was buying a part for the Rabbit. You should really come, take a ride, when it's done."

"Is it fast?" I ask excitedly.

"Huh, it's decent" he says, wearily.

"Jake, I'm joking" I tell him.

"Oh, good" He sighs in relief, "Hey, happy birthday."

"Jakey, you promised!" I whine. He laughs and hands me a handmade dream catcher.

"It's your birthday. You get presents whether you like it or not" He tells me.

"Funny, that's exactly what Bella told me…" I mutter. He grins.

"Speaking of Bella, if I asked her out anytime soon, do you think she'll say yes?"

"Uh, well, I'm not Bella, but it's possible. You'd have to ask, you know, Bella!"

"Right….Hey can you-"

"I am not asking her for you!"

"Fine" Jacob pouts.

"Anyway, thank you for the present" I tell him, giving him one more hug as the bell rings.

"No problem" Jake tells me, hugging back.

"I gotta go, see ya" I say, walking towards school, waving back at him.

"Yeah, see you later."

~Time Skip!~

"So, how come Jacob Black gets to give you a gift and I don't?" Edward asks, as we walk through the school hallway.

"Why, Mr. Cullen. Are you jealous of my honorary big brother?" I ask him, smiling.

"...No" He replies, walking ahead of me. I laugh and catch up to him.

"Edward, I can't give anything in return. That's why I don't want you to get me anything" I tell him honestly.

"You give me everything just by breathing" he tells me.

"See? That's all I want and there's no need for you to jealous of my awesome big brother. If anything, you should be jealous of me because my brother is awesome and yours are, not as awesome." He chuckles.

"Ana! Happy Birthday!" The sugar-filled pixie says, hopping over the stair rail and hugging me.

"Ssshhhh" I shush her, not wanting everyone to hear. Then she hands me a wrapped box. "I thought I said no presents!"

"I've already seen you open it. And guess what? You love it! You're gonna wear it tonight, our house. Come on, please? It'll be fun" Alice begs. And I suddenly feel guilty for not wanting to go.

"Fine" I sigh.

"Great! Ok, see you at seven" Alice says excitedly, as she runs over to Jasper…..wait a minute….

"HEY!" I exclaim, to which Alice, Jasper, and Edward laugh.

"Sorry Ana. Happy-" Insert glare from me, "Nevermind." Alice and Jasper quickly head off to their class, and I look back at Edward, who's still smirking. I hit him in the chest with the box, making him laugh harder.

"You can't trust vampires. Trust me!" Edward says, with a wide grin.

"Ha ha, very funny…"

~Time Skip!~

We were watching Romeo and Juliet in english class. Bella was completely absorbed into the movie, Jessica was watching dumbfounded, Angela had tears in her eyes, Eric was straight out crying, and Mike looked bored out of his mind!

"I hate getting presents for no reason other than to congratulate me for living this long to get older. And older, and older…."

"There are worse tragedies. Look at Romeo. He kills his true love out of sheer stupidity" Edward says, looking at the screen, "Though I do envy him, one thing."

"What could you possibly envy? He falls in love with his mortal enemy, his best friend dies, he thinks his wife is dead, then he kills himself in his misguided sense of grief, then forcing his wife to actually die" I raise an eyebrow at him.

"The suicide. It's nearly impossible for...some people. For humans, a little poison, a dagger to the heart, so many different options" Edward says, solemnly.

"Ok, what brought this on?" I ask him, confused.

"I considered it once. I didn't know, if I'd get to you on time. I had to come up with some kind of...plan."

"You really are an idiot, aren't you. What about your family? Ok, let's make a deal. I want you to promise, no swear to me, that, if anything ever happens to me, and I'm not saying it will, but just in case. If anything ever happens to me, swear that you won't try to kill yourself" I beg him, with a serious face.

"..."

"Please" I ask him softly.

"...Alright. I swear" He nods.

"What was you plan anyway?" I ask, curiously.

"I would go to Italy….And provoke the Volturi" Edward admits.

"The what now?" I ask, tilting my head in confusion.

"The Volturi-" He was interrupted by our english teacher.

"Now, who would like to repeat the last few lines, just to show they were paying attention. Mr Cullen" Teach calls on Edward. Though I was just glad he didn't call on me, because Edward could listen to the movie and talk to me….Plus he's been around for a hundred years and probably has things like this ingrained into his head…

"Oh, yes, Mr. Birdy" He says, before quoting Romeo, "O, here. Will I set up my everlasting rest, and shake the yoke of inauspicious stars from this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last. Arms, take your embrace. And lips, O you, the doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss. A dateless bargain to engrossing death."

"Eyes on the screen people" Mr. Birdy demands, as I watch Edward carefully, thinking.

I wonder what he'd do when I do die….
