Chapter 2: The Truth The Sadness
The Cullen's pov
Edward got home a hour after the sun went down. "Eddy why are you home so early? Thought you would still be with Bella." Emmett said and Edward growled at the name Emmett said. "I wasn't with Bella today." Edward said softly. Every one is shocked to hear that. Alice is looking at him and she don't know what to think. "If you weren't with Bella then where were you at?" Carlisle asked his son. Edward looked at him. "I gave the new girl Nyla a ride home. So she didn't have to run home in the rain. She asked me in and we talked for a few hours." Edward said and Carlisle started to think about her.
"What Carlisle what was that?" Edward asked him. Carlisle looked at him. "You can't read Nyla's mind?" He asked me softly. "She is a little like Bella. But I can get a few worlds here and there. But what was that you thinking about?" Edward asked again. Carlisle rubbed the back of his head. "Nyla has a disease that no one has seen before. Its killing her. She only has a year or two to leave." Carlisle said softly. If my heart could still beat it would have stopped. "My answer is yes." Alice said with a smile on her face.
"Yes for what?" Rosalie growled. "I was thinking about changing Nyla. She has no family and she really wants to live. Nyla cried when I told her that her other doctor told her wrong about how long she had." Carlisle said softly. Rosalie growled with rage as she stood up. "You cant be serious! First Bella knows about us and she wants to be a vampire. Now you want to bring someone else into this life!" Rosalie roared. Edward growled at her. Carlisle looked at her. "Nyla is dying Rosalie. You should have seen the look in her bright blue eyes when she said she wanted to live." He said softly to her.
But Rose is still growling with rage. "What the fuck is wrong with them! This isn't a life they should want!" Rose said with rage mix with sadness. Rose would do anything to be human again. "Rose you say you dont want Nyla to join the family. But you will like her when you talk to her. . .while after you two fight." Alice said with a smile smile. Emmett laughed and Rosalie hit him up side the head. She didn't say anything just sat there growling. "Alice when is Rose and Nyla going to fight?" I asked her. "Tomorrow at dinner here." Alice said and every one looked at her. "Is Bella going to be there?" Edward asked. Cause he didn't want her there just in cause something goes wrong. "No Edward she's not. And I have to agree with you on that. Nyla doesn't know about us and if Bella is there she might slip up. I hate to say." Alice said with a sad smile.
"That's what she was thinking about." Edward said more to him self then to his family. "What are you talking about Edward dear?" Esme spoke for the first time. "When I was over at Nyla's house. She had this really sad look on her face. I asked her about it but she said it was nothing. But now I see what she was thinking about. She was thinking about her short time." He said softly making Esme feel like crying. "That poor child. Sick and alone with no one in her life." Esme said with a dry sob. Carlisle put his arm around his mate. "You will like her Esme." Edward said as he pulled out a folded piece of paper and handed it to his mother. Esme took it and opened it up. It's a hand drawning of Edward. But not just Edward but the table and kitchen in Nyla's house.
The details of it made Esme smile. "She drew this?" She asked her son softly. "Yes. I can see what she like's to do a lot of things now." Edward said with a sad look on his face. Alice looked at him. There is something different going on here. Her vision of him and Bella started to fade a little. Edward looked over at her but she thought about something else. He didn't say anything. "What did you and the sick human talk about?" Rose said to him. Edward growled at her. "Just stuff we like to do. She is so different from Bella. Nyla wants to do so much while Bella want's is to be a vampire." Edward said softly. He didn't want to damn her to this life.
But talking to Nyla and finding out about her dying. Edward wanted to see Nyla doing everything she wanted to do. Wanting to see Paris going to collage, seeing the world learning everything she can. "Edward?" Came Esme's voice. He looked up at her. "What should we cook?" She said with a smile. "How about Italian?" Alice asked. Edward looked at her. "You don't know what we are going to have?" He asked her. "For once I dont know." She said with a sheepish smile. "That sounds good." Edward said.
"What is she going to think when we dont eat?" Rosalie said with a sneer. "We have to eat with her." Jasper said and the family looked at him. Rosalie looked at him with her mouth opened. "Jass you sure about that?" Alice said to her mate. "Yes. We see what she's like before we do anyting." Jasper said softly.
Rosalie shook her head as she sat on Emmett's lap. "Fine I give her a chance." Rose said and every one smiled at her. "Thank you Rosalie." Edward said. Rose can see this is like how Bella found out. Edward looked at her. "What its true first you chasing Bella now your chasing Nyla." Rose said and every one thought about it.
The next day Edward drove to Nyla's house. Nyla is sitting on the stairs not sure if Edward ws really coming over to pick her up. But sure enough he pulled up and Nyla shook her head as she walked over to his car and got in. "I wasn't sure if you were going to come or not." Nyla said to him. Edward chuckled soft at her as he took off. "You don't have to worry about that. If I say I'm going to pick you up I will Nyla." Edward said to her. Nyla blushed a little as she looked out of the window. "Thank you for picking me up." Nyla said with a smile. "Your welcome. Like Carlisle said to you. If you every need anything just ask us." Edward said and Nyla looked at him.
Edward never seen that look in her eyes. "I'm really touch that you and your family is being so nice to me. It feels so weird to have somone or people being nice to me." Nyla said as she looked back at the window. Today Nyla is wearing black and red baggy pants with different chains. Another tank top but this on is just black and red like her pants. But she had a thin jacket with a skull on it. "Aren't you cold?" Edward asked her. Nyla didn't looked away from the window. "The cold never bothered me. My body kepts a lot of heat so the cool weather is nice." Nyla said softy.
The truth is her disease keeps her body temp higher then a normal persons. One of the other reasons why she moved here. "I see. So the weather here must be nice for you." Edward said with a smile. Nyla noticed that Edward is being different from yesterday. But she didn't say anything. So they drove on and Edward turned on the radio. Nyla moved her head to the song while she liped sing.
I wonder what she sounds like when she sings? Edward thougth to him self. He hoped that she would start thinking. Edward new that Nyla smelled different from others. But now he knew why. It was her sickness. He looked at her with sadness and Nyla saw it but she just push it out of her mind. He can't know can he? The doctor wouldn't have said anything to his family. Nyla thought to her self. Edward pulled in and Bella wasn't there yet. "Thanks for the ride Edward." Nyla said as she got out. Edward did the same. "After school just meet me here and I take you home." Edward said and Nyla nodded as she walked to away. Not caring that others was looking at them.
In class Alice and Jasper found out that they had some classes with Nyla. They watched her in all of their classes. "I wonder what she is thinking." Alice whispered so low only Jasper could hear her. "She is bored." Jasper said using his power to know what she is feeling. "I see. I hope Bella wont be mad." Alice said with worry. Jasper know's what Bella feels. He didn't have a good feeling about this.
If Edward goes over and talks to her. Then askes her over for dinner and not bring her. She will be pissed off. So for the next two classes they had with Nyla they watched her. The last five minutes of class Nyla would write in her book. "I wonder what she is always writing?" Jasper said softly to Alice. "Lyrics I think." Alice said just as softly. When the bell rang they didn't see her in their next class. But Emmett and Rose is shocked to see her in their class. "What is she doing here?" Rose hissed to Emmett. "It looks like she is take the class." Emmett said and Rose smacked his arm.
"Ow." He said as he rubbed his arms. So for the rest of the class they watched her as while. When Nyla is called on she gave the teach the right answer. Nyla even told the teach he did the problem wrong. When he looked it up and looked at her. "Your right Nyla. Glad someone tells me when I'm wrong." He said with a smile. Nyla just nodded her head and went back to her drawing she was doing on her leather book.
By the time they got to lunch Nyla is sitting at the same table. No one sits there cause it stays to cold. But Nyla don't mind she likes the cold. Bella sat next to Edward. "Why didn't you come over last night?" Bella whined at him. "I had other stuff to do Bella." Edward said as he snuck looks a Nyla who is in her corner listening to her music and writing. She didn't eat anything but drank her drink. Then Jasper stood up and every eye was on him.
Then he walked over to Nyla before anyone else could. Nyla had her head down writing. But she heard him come and Nyla looked up. She took off her head phones and looked at him. "Hello little lady can I sit with ya?" Jasper said and Nyla smiled up at him. "Texas right? Yes you can sit down cowboy." She asked and Jasper knew what she was talking about. "Yes little darlin. Thank you. How did ya know?" He asked her as he sat down. His family and Bella watched him.
Nyla smiled softly at him. "Just how you talk. Its a little different form others. I know people can get them confused. But I live in Texas for six year when I was younger." Nyla said as she closed her book so Jasper couldn't read it. He eyes looked down at the book then back at her. "Sorry darlin my name is Jasper Hale." He said softly to her. "Hale? I thougt you where a Cullen?" Nyla said with her head turned to the side. Making Jasper chuckled. Alice smiled at her mate. She knew he wont hurt her.
"Me and Rosalie are twin and they let us keep our last name darlin." Jasper said with smile. Nyla smiled at him as she put he head on her hands as she looked at him. "I wonder why every one is staring at us." Nyla said with out looking away from him. "How do you know they are looking at us?" Jasper asked with a chuckle in his voice.
"I might be looking at you but I can see other things as while boy." She said and they both laughed softly. "What is Jasper doing?" Bella asked Edward. "Just being nice I think." Edward said and Bella knew something is up. "You are going over tonight?" Bella said him. "I have things I need to do tonight. Maybe another time." Edward said to her. Bella looked at her boyfriend with sadness.
"So Nyla I came over to see if you would like to come over to our house for dinner tonight?" Jasper asked her. Nyla lifted her pierced eyebrow. Jasper didn't know she eyebrow was pierced till she did that. "If you don't mind me asking but why?" Nyla said not being rude or nothing. Jasper smiled at her. "Cause we want to get to know you better. Beside's Edward told us that you didn't have a family. So we thought you would like to have dinner with us." Jasper said with another smile. Nyla looked past him and growled at Edward who just smiled at her. She stuck out her tounge and for the first time he saw that is was pierced. "Sure why not. It be nice to be around others." Nyla said as she turned off her music and put it up.
Then she started to draw on her book again. It has so much stuff on it. Jasper couldn't tell what was drawings and what is words. "What are you smiling about cowboy?" Nyla said as she looked up at him. "Just smiling at your book." Jasper said. He likes that she calls him cowboy. Nyla looked down at her books and ran a finger down it. "This books is my life you could say. I write my thoughts down in it, drawings that I think are the best I've done. Lyrics that play in my head. Some pictures of things I think are awesome." Nyla said fondly to her book.
"How long have you had it?" Jasper asked kindly. He can tell that she really loves her book so much. "Its a home made book. I put it all together a few years ago. But I being writing since I learned how to. You can say this is the only friend I have." Nyla said. Edward felt hurt when she said that. Jasper could feel the hurt from him. "I'm sorry Nyla. But you have other friends now." Jasper said and Nyla looked at him. "What you talking about cowboy?" She growl and its the cutiest thing. Edward growled at that. Sorry Edward. I mean that in a friend way not like that. I thought to him.
Cause I know he is protective over her and I dont know why. . .yet. "You see little darlin. You have us now. While it might take a while for Rosalie to warm up to you. But she come round." Jasper said and Nyla looked at him then back at the table. Alice smiled at her and Rosalie glarded at her. Nyla smiled as she stuck out her tounge at her. Nyla didn't stop there she stuck out her middle finger and rubbed across her touch a few times. Emmett was shacking when Nyla stuck out her pierced tounge. But after that he busted out laughing making the hole place look at him.
Rose looked at her with dagger in her eyes. Bella moved closer to Edward scared. But Edward is watching Nyla and Rose. Nyla smiled and then made kissy face's at her. Rose felt her jaw drop when she done that. "She's a smart ass." Rose said low so only her family could hear her. Emmett still laughing at her side. Edward wanted to tell her. You should have seen her last night. But Bella would be pissed off about it. Jasper saw the hole things. "You are wild thing aren't cha?" Jasper said with a chuckle.
"I'm a whild thing with a dash of bad ass mixed with a bit of bitch." Nyla said with sass in her voice. Making Jasper look at her with shock. The words she used is nothing like Bella. Now he see's why Edward said that she is nothing like Bella. Rosalie smiled a little at that. "I got to give Nyla her props for that one." Rose said and Bella looked confused. I guess she is better then Bella but I still dont like it.
Rose thought to Edward and he looked at her. "Why don't you just go home with Edward after school Nyla? So we can have more time getting to know each other?" Jasper said and Nyla looked at him. "Sure. Sounds like fun." Nyla said in her sassy voice. This girl is going to be fun if she joins the family. But if she dont its going to be very sad to see her go. Jasper thought to him self. "You and Edward has giving me sad looks." Nyla said as she watched him. Jasper smiled at her.
"Sorry about that hon. I just got lost in some old sad memories." Jasper said to her. "If you dont mind me asking. What memories?" Nyla said. I couldn't tell if she believed me or not. "The day that Rose and I lost our parents and we had no one to take care of us." Jasper lied cooly. Nyla looked at him with sadness. "I'm sorry. If you dont mind me asking again. Do you remember them?" Nyla said in a low voice. Jasper looked at the red head. "Not really. Its been so long." Jasper said making his voice sad.
"I'm the same way. It feels like I just dropped out of the sky. Alone and no one wanting me. Like I'm something that shouldn't be alive." Nyla said with sadness and rage in her voice. As she remember all the homes she's been in. None of them wanted her. Who would want a sick, dying child in there home. The foster care couldn't find anyone that wanted Nyla when she was thirteen thats why they let her live on her own. The bell rang making Nyla jump and growl.
"We will see you at the house Nyla." Jasper said before he picked up Nyla's hot hand and kissed it before he left. Nyla stared at him with shock and a red face. "That is sweet of you Jass." Alice said to him. "Thank you Alice. She really need's a friend or friends. But how she is I dont think you will be able to make her change her mind about her clothes." Jasper said to his small mate.
Alice looked up at him. "I would be mad about that but her taste in clothes isn't as bad as Bella's. She look's good in her clothes beside I know she likes other kinds of clothes." Alice said and Jasper looked at her. "What kind of clothes?" Jasper asked but his mate just danced on with him following her.
