I must say things have been going smoothly. Ever since I forgave Jasper I haven't been bitter which is a good thing. Dean sits with us during lunch, him and I we became best friends real quick. I think Alice, Edward, and Jasper don't like it but they're not saying anything. Bella like Dean, she thinks he's funny. I have been hanging out with the Cullens more, thanks to Dean. When I went to the Cullens house after school Rosie gave me the biggest hug and pulled me into her room so we can have a girl talk. Honestly, I missed them so much, Dean opened my eyes by forgiving Jasper. Also, I have been talking to Jasper, only as friends though and it's been going well. Dean and I have been going everywhere if I'm not home or with the Cullens, I'm with Dean. My dad like Dean he says he's a gentleman.
I was sitting in the cafeteria with Dean, Jasper, Alice, Edward, Bella and our friends. I was sitting in between Dean and Jasper. Jessica was trying to do her speech for graduation. Jessica asked us for help and Mike took her legal pad and began writing his thoughts. Mike was writing in a legal pad, Angela is reading some not cards, while the rest of us waiting for Mike to finished his speech.
"Alright, let's check it out," Mike says, causing everyone to listen to him. Eric moved closer to Mike to see the paper.
"Let's see what you got" Eric then says.
"My fellow students... right?" Mike chuckle. "We are the future. Anything is possible if you believe. Perfect" he says. "You got yourself a speech," he says tossing the legal pad to Jessica.
"Yeah well this will be my speech when I want everyone to throw their diploma at my head," Jessica crumbles the paper. "So no thank you," Jessica said as she threw the piece of paper at his head.
"Jess you gotta embrace the cliche," Mike tells her and Eric nods.
"They're the bread and butter of all valedictorians," Eric said making me scoff.
"And that's why you're not the valedictorian," Angela says making us laugh. Eric puts on a hurt face and Angela rolls her eyes.
"Jess doesn't need cliche. Her speech will be epic" I say.
"Epic? It'll change lives" Jessica said making me smile.
"I've decided to throw a party" Alice suddenly decided to say. Everyone stops talking and look at her with wide eyes. Bella and I shared a look, another one?
"After all, how many time do we get to graduate high school?" Jasper says smirking.
"A-a party at your place?" Angela says all surprised that Alice invited them to their place.
"I've never been at your place," Jess says.
"No one has ever seen their place."
"I've been to their place and I even slept over a couple of times," I say smirking at them.
"Another party, Alice?" Edward asked not liking the idea.
"It'll be fun," Alice says making them like the idea. I rolled my eyes at her.
"Yeah, you said that last time" Bella comments. Alice slumps down on her hair. Suddenly she has this blank stare, she's having a vision. I wasn't the only one that notices it. Jasper, Edward, Dean, and Bella look at Alice all worried, well expect Dean. To keep the attention off of Alice, I try to distract the others.
"Hey, Angie" I call out to Angela making the others stare at me.
"Need help with those?" I asked pointing at her papers. She nods happily and hangs me some, explaining what to do. As Alice comes back from her vision. I notice her and Edward shared a look. And I didn't like it at all. When the bell rang, Dean quickly took me away from the Cullens and the others. As we walked to our class, Dean told me that Alice's vision was about Victoria, which I already knew but oh well, I could go with Bella and meet up with my mother. However, my plan didn't work in my favor since Dean told me that I had to stay here in Forks where he can protect me from Victoria.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'
Today Bella and I were meeting up with dad at the station after school. Edward was going to drive us there. Edward, Bella and I headed over there. Two people came out of the station, crying. Mmm, I wonder what happened. Dad then comes out and greets us. I hugged him and stand next to him as Edward and Bella stood in front of us.
"Still up for dinner?" I asked dad. He nods and looks over to Bella and Edward.
"Yeah, it's still just Bella, you and I. Right?" Charlie ask me but looking at them.
"I'm just dropping them off. See you later." Edwards says.
"Bye," Bella said to him as I just nod. Edward turns away and begins to walk but stops halfway.
"Oh, Bella, my parents wanted to remind you about the airline tickets they got you for your birthday," Edward tells Bella. I narrowed my eyes at him, what is he planning?
"What airline tickets?" Charlie asked confused.
"Around tickets to see mom in Florida," Bella tells him.
"Well that generous, thank your parents for me," Charlie says to Edward and he nods.
"It expires soon. You should use it this weekend." Edward says.
"Well, I can't just drop everything and go," Bella says.
"What are you saying? You just did it a few months ago, don't you remember?" I said smirking at her and she rolls her eyes.
"You did it too," she says and I shrugged.
"It might be your last time to see her before you graduate." He says. Bella and I knew his double meaning. After graduation, we'll be turning into vampires. Well, Bella might be I, on the other hand, might not since Dean is here. thinking about Dean, I should really ask him if I'm going to be a vampire or not.
"Well that's might not be such a bad idea. Get out of town, get some distance." Charlie tells Bella.
"Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing mom. But as long as you use the companion ticket" Bella tells Edward. Ah, and here he thought he won that argument, what an idiot.
"Wait, there are two tickets? Super. That makes me really happy" Charlie says sarcastically.
"How about taking Annie? I know that you girls want to see your mother" Edward suggested. They all look at me. I shake my head.
"Sorry, can't I need to retake a test on Friday after school and then on Saturday Mr. Jackson gave those who failed the A.P English test a second chance to redo it. And since I wasn't here, I'm going to that this opportunity to take it, sorry" I tell them.
"You should go, Edward. Besides you should meet the mother in law, you already know the father" I says smirking at him. Edward sighs and agrees, Bella looks happy that he's going and dad glaring at me. For not going and for saying that he and Renée are the in-laws.
Just like Dean said, Victoria was back. That weekend I was super careful, sadly Dean had to leave, he had an urgent call back home, which I am sure it was heaven? Anyways I was coming out of redoing my A.P test when I decided I should head to Cullens house. Perhaps they were already finished with the whole Victoria situation.
Carlisle gave Bell and I an extra house keys to come over whenever we wanted. I climbed out of the truck and started to walk up the porch. I unlocked the house and went inside. It was about 20 minutes when the Cullens all came back. And they didn't seem so happy, Emmett looked beyond piss and he was soaking wet. They all stopped when they saw me eating a cookie on the couch.
"What the hell happen to you?" I asked Emmett.
"That mutt happened," he said taking off his jacket.
"Paul?" I asked and he nods.
"Figures," I said biting into my cookie. Emmett went upstairs to change while the others were staring at me. I turn to them wondering why they're staring at me. Slowly I offered them a cookie but they decline.
"What?" I asked biting into my cookie.
"How long have you been here?" Alice asked and I checked my phone.
"Not even half an hour... why?" I asked.
"It's not safe-"
"'cause Victoria is back?" I asked and they looked shocked,
"How did-"
"Your reaction to your vision on Wednesday, it didn't look promising and plus Edward was really trying to get Bella out of town and go see mom. Which either means two things. One he actually wanted Bella to see mom before... you know." they frowned. "And two, something bad going to happen. So I sorta went with number two. And then I thought, who could make Edward paranoid enough to skip town... So thinking that Victoria must be back" I said biting my cookie.
"Smart" Emmett said smirking and I winked at him. Alice comes to sit on the sofa next to me while the others sat down, they let Jasper sit next to me. We were watching a movie and all of a sudden, I realize it was only Jasper and me in the living room. Turning around I see it's empty besides us, I turn to Jasper and he had an innocent face. Rolling my eyes I lean back to the couch, not even going to argue. If they wanted to leave me with Jasper they could have told me, I wouldn't say otherwise.
We continue watching our movie when I felt sleepy. I was trying to fight it as much as possible but in the end, I couldn't take it any longer. I closed my eyes and I felt Jasper's arms around me, carrying me up the stairs which I am sure I was going to his room. Laying on the bed I didn't let Jasper go as he put me down. Instead, I pulled him closer to me. He wrapped his arms around my waist bringing me closer to him. I snugged on his chest and for that night I let myself forget everything that has happened. For that night I let myself stay in the arms of my ex-lover. And honestly, it felt amazing. I didn't realize how much I missed him.
