Hmm, There IS A Light At The End Of The Tunnel

Recap: Bella's POV:"You say taking a liking to and I say harass." I said causing Jake to noticeable brighten up. "Now, where is my newest stalker?"
"Right behind you," a voice said putting a hand on my shoulder causing me to scream.

Chapter 7: Drunk Truths

Bella's POV:

I screamed and turned around to see that the hand belonged to Adrian. Stupid Adrian. I stopped screaming when I saw who it was and put my hand over my heart.

"Are you okay?" Jacob asked me concerned.

"No, this idiot here scared the crap out of me." I said.

"It wasn't my intention to scare you." Adrian said with a smirk.

"Then why don't I believe you?" I queried.

"Maybe you're just not a very trustworthy kind of person?" he said flopping down on the couch. He then grabbed a bottle of some alcohol and started chugging it. Then he stopped, pointed his finger at me, and said, "or maybe I'm the one that's not trustworthy." He is very hard to understand right now. His words are all slurred together and very hard to understand.

"So, Jake why is he here?" I turned to him and asked.

"He's the one that Victoria was taunting." He shrugged.

"So, why is he still here if she's dead and he's safe?" I asked again.

"He insisted that he is allowed at the bonfire tonight." He rolled his eyes.

"Yup, I got's to keep my promise to a special little lady." Adrian slurred again. He is so drunk.

"Don't you think you've had enough alcohol?" I asked going over to grab his bottle.

"NEVER!" he yelled and closed his eyes and drank some more. I quietly got closer and got a hold of the bottle. However he opened his eyes. "Now Bella, what do you think you're doing?" he asked.

"I am cutting you off. You've had way too much." I said pulling at the bottle.

"No body cuts me off babe." He said before pulling the bottle hard causing me to fall on top of his splayed body laying on the couch. "Mhmm," he moaned while downing the rest of the bottle and putting his arms around me and falling into a drunken sleep.

"Jake, help?" I asked after a couple minutes of trying to get up on my own. However I felt as if I wasn't really trying. As if I wanted to be in the arms of this handsome devil. No, no. I cleared my head. I can't have these thoughts towards him. Jake did come and pull me off of him though. So I left Jake and Adrian in the living room and found Emily in the kitchen. I helped her the rest of the evening making food with the other imprints. They got here after me and didn't see Adrian which I am glad of. When they find out that he is still here I will be in for it. These wolf girls are crazy, except for little Claire, she is adorable. I think of all of these things as I make more food for everyone. When all the food was done and packed up we all got in the cars or wolf forms and headed to First Beach. We were the last to get there. Well technically that's not true because Adrian is still in his alcohol induced sleep on the couch back at their house. Which is fine by me. So I enjoyed my time with the pack. Watching their crazy antics made me laugh so hard but also watching them show their love to their imprints was hard. It made the hole in my chest throb painfully. It reminded me that no matter where I am or what kind of mythical creature I am with the pain will never recede like Edward, wince, said it would. When all of the imprints were cuddled up and paired off together in silence I decided to go for a walk down the beach. I don't know how long or how far I walked where the ocean met the sand when I ran into Adrian. He looked better than I thought he would with a hangover.

"What are you doing Bella Swan?" he asked with a smirk.

"Walking." I deadpanned and attempted to go around him. He quickly thwarted my escape plane.

"Not so fast missy. We need to get back to the bonfire. I made you a promise and I plan to keep it." he said grabbing my hand and started pulling me back the way I came.

"What are you talking about?" I asked while pulling my hand out of his surprisingly warm one.

"Don't you remember your dream?" he asked. How does he, no it can't be true! He couldn't know what I dreamt unless what he said is true. But it just can't be.

"I don't know what you're talking about Adrian." I lied. Please don't notice.

"You know Bella, in case no one has ever told you before but you're a terrible liar." he said chuckling. Dang he noticed.

"Fine, but how do you know know what I dreamed about earlier?" I asked.

"I thought I explained that to you already? Geez girl. Don't you listen?" he mocked me.

"But that can't be true!" I shouted.

"If that's not true then your friends don't shift and we're not vampires." he said flippantly.

"But how is it true?" I asked and he went into detail about how our society works. I know Charlie explained this to me already but hearing it from someone else I guess just made it that much more real. He also told me about the new element spirit. I felt bad for thinking of him as an alcoholic when he was just trying to keep the side-effects at bay. I wish I could help him somehow. Wait what am I thinking? I don't even really know him. "This whole mess is crazy. The Cullens vampire was so much easier to understand." I mumbled to myself when he finished his explanation.

"What do you mean?" he asked. I didn't really mean for him to hear that. I don't want to talk about them but I know he won't leave it alone.

"The Cullens were a family of vampires," I began and told him about that kind of vampire as well as how my love for the family grew. I felt like I was betraying them by telling Adrian their secret but he is a vampire too. So, then I told him about James and his friends. I also showed him my scar. He got visibly angry and confused when I showed it to him. I continued on to explain that and then led the story to where it ended my horrid birthday. He was sympathetic.

"After dealing with the cold ones I'm surprised to see you alive. They're not known for their control when it comes to our kind." he said.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"Well our blood calls to their kind. That's why he believed you were his singer. All of their kind of singers are our kind of vampire." he told me as we arrived back at the bonfire.

"Wow, that's interesting." I said while sitting down in the sand by the fire.

"Yes, it's all very odd. How we both exist but our kind has been in hiding for quite some time now thanks to the stupid Volturi. Aro wants to experiment on any of us he can get his hands on." he said and pulled a swig on his bottle of alcohol. I didn't even see that! Did he have it the entire time?

"Hey Bella, what are you both talking about?" Jacob asked from his perch near the fire.

"Nothing Jake." I replied tersely.

"C'mon Bella, don't be so secretive. You said this guy isn't in you favorite top ten so why are you keeping secrets with the likes of him?" What is up with Jacob. Why is he prying so much.

"Not that it's any of your business, but we are talking about the differences between us and the Cullens." Adrian stated.

"What?" Jacob was confused.

"Yeah," he took another swig of alcohol. "Just talking about how we are the better kind of vampires." he said. Every pair of eyes landed on us then. Crap! Adrian what did you just get us into you $$hole.
