I was eating my cereal in the kitchen when all a sudden I heard a hunk outside and then Bells running down the stairs. She turns to me and smiles.
"We have a ride, let's go," she said leaving me here.
"What?" I said with a mouthful full of cereal.
"Hey wait I gotta brush my teeth" I called out to her. When I washed my bowl, went up to the bathroom to wash my teeth I went outside and seen why Bella was in a hurry. Edward was outside waiting for me. As I closed the door behind me Edward and Bella turn to me.
"Well, this is unexpected. Who would have known that you're actually a Prince Charming" I said smirking. Bella rolled her eyes and Edward smirks.
"Disappointed that your Prince Charming didn't show up?" Edward said making me roll my eyes.
"Whatever called front seat," I said walking towards them. Bella turns to me and frowns.
"Why?" she asked as I walk to the passenger seat.
"Because people will be shocked that I came out of the front seat instead of you," I said smiling at her.
"And besides imagine what they'll be thinking, 'What? Edward and Annie together? How did that happen?" I said in a fake shocking voice. Edward chuckles and Bella rolls her eyes while smiling.
"Just for today and after school you'll have front since they'll all know," I said, Bella sighs but nods, she heads to the back and Edward opens the door. She thanked him as she gets inside. Suddenly I felt a rush of air next to me, turning around I see Edward there smirking at me.
"Let me get the door for you, my lady," he said. I moved aside so he can open the door.
"Why thank you, my good sir," I said smiling. Getting into his car I turn around to Bella as Edward closed the door.
"You got yourself a gentleman," I said. I smiled at Bella as she turns away blushing and Edward comes in with a smirk. I turn to him and he turns to me.
"Well, Mr. Charming lets do this" Edward chuckles starting the engine and we head to school. And just like I predicted, everyone was shocked that I came out of Edward's car. I turned to Edward,
"Did they?" I asked whispering. Edward turns to me and he knew what I meant. He smirked and nods.
"I knew it,"I said laughing. Edward smiles and goes to open the door, Bella. Edward then puts his arms around Bella's shoulder and we walk towards the school. I turn to see our friend all shocked and I winked at them. Suddenly I felt someone pulls me to them. I look up and see Jasper smiling at me, holding me by my waist.
"So you came with my brother but decline my offer to pick you up this morning. Umm, now what does that say." Jasper said with a mischievous smirk.
"In my defense good sir, I didn't know he was coming. But if you like, you can have the honor of picking me up tomorrow morning" I said smiling.
"I'll be my honor, madam," he says. I smile at him, it seems that I been smiling more thanks to him. Jasper smiles at me and stars at my eyes. My eyes slowly glaze down his perfect face until I started at his lips, I didn't know know why but I just had to lick my lips. I felt my waist tighten a little and I looked back up at Jasper. His eyes were darkening with an emotion that I knew would one day get me in trouble.
"We should head to class," I said softly. Jasper tighten his hold on me a little harder before he lets go. Clearing his throat he smiles at me.
"Yeah we should" We started at each other before turning and I didn't notice that everyone was staring at us with wide eyes and mouth opened, well besides the Cullens they were smirking at me even Alice. I turn to Jasper who was smiling at me,
"This will be hard to explain," Jasper said and I laughed a little.
"Ehh, I'll let their imagination run wild for a little," I said and this time Jasper laughed.
Just like Edward, Jasper put his arm around my shoulder. We walked to class with everyone staring at us. Jasper walked me to my first period and he was thereafter my first period to walk me to government class. And after government class, we walked together to my trig class and so on you get the point. Jasper was there to walk me to my classes.
During lunch, Bella and I sat with the Cullens. To say it was awkward would be an understatement. People would constantly stare at us and whisper things. At the beginning of lunch Jasper tightens his fist and was about to get up but Alice stopped him.
"They're not worth it," she told him. Bella and I turn to him, confused then I kinda figured out what was going on. they were whispering about me... being a ... ohhhh now I get it.
"They're calling me a harlot?" I ask. Alice turns to give me an apologetic and guilty smile.
"Well you only live once, so why not be a harlot? " I said laughing. Bella rolls her eyes and the others laughed and smiled.
"I knew I liked you," Emmett said pointing his finger at me. I smiled and shrugged my shoulder in a cute way.
"Thanks, I'm adorable," I said smiling.
"Yeah you are," Jasper said. I turn to him,
"That was cheesy" Alice and I said together. We both turn to each other and smiled.
"I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship," I said.
"Oh, I know," she said with a smirk.
We started to all talk well Rosalie would comment here and there but would talk to us. After lunch Edward and Bella left their way, Alice and Jasper walked to their class, and Emmett, Rosalie, and I went to our class. During Chem was weird Jake would ignore me most of the class, which I found kinda hurt. Just because I'm friends with the Cullens doesn't mean I can't be friends with everyone else. After chem, Jasper was there to walk me to gym class. When I approached Jasper he was glaring at someone, I turned around and saw Jake was glaring at Jasper. I touched Jasper's arm and he looked down at me. I motion for him to let's go and he nods. I turn to Jake and send him a small smile which he ignores me, hurting my feeling even more. Sighing I pulled Jasper away and just like in the morning, Jasper put his arm around my shoulder as we walked.
After school, I went with Jasper to the same place from last time. However this time we went for a walk instead of sitting on top of the hood of his car. Jasper watches me balance-walk across an enormous fallen pine tree that's covered in moss. I tripped but instead of falling on my ass Jasper was there to catch me. He looks down at me,
"I'll always be there to catch you," he said staring directly into my hazel eyes.
"Promise?" I asked shyly.
"Promise," he said moving a piece of my hair behind my ears.
We stayed in this position for a while. It seems like time itself slowed down just for us. I look in every detail of Jasper, everything I can remember I locked it into a special place in my mind just in case one day I wake up in my own time, I would still have these memories to cherish forever.
We were walking along a stunning coastline and I picked up a nasty rock covered in bright green moss. I threw the rock making it skip on top of the water. I turn to Jasper who was staring at me.
"How long have you been a vampire?" I asked.
"1863," he said. I could tell that he didn't want to talk about it. I mean who would, he was manipulative into killing young vampires, he believed that his creator loved him, he spends most of his life hating myself for killing innocent humans for their blood. I understand, well not really but I understand that he doesn't want to talk about it so I won't push it.
"So how old are you? Like your actual age?" I asked smirking. He rolls his eyes,
"About 150," he said.
"Damn you're old," I said laughing. Suddenly Jasper is right in front of me smirking.
"You should respect your elders," he said.
"Or else what?" I said challenging him. He stares at my lips before staring into my eyes. I stared at him with a mischievous smile. I pull up forward and he leans down but before our lips could touch I spin around him. I hear him groan I turn to him and he glares playfully at me.
"You little-" he said pointing his finger at me. I stick out my tongue at him before running away. I heard him laugh before I was picked up and thrown over his shoulder.
"Put me down," I said laughing. Jasper spun us around making me laugh even more.
"Jazz!" I screamed out laughing. Jasper put me down but held me close to him. He stared down at me with those beautiful golden eyes and I got lost in them. He slowly leans down but before he actually did anything he looks at my lips before looking back at me, asking me for promising.
Without saying anything I lean forward and we kiss... and it was magical! Kissing him felt like coming up the water for air, it was perfect everything I ever imagined. At that moment, I hoped, I prayed to every God there is, please do not take me from here. If this is a dream, and I hope it's not, then I'll kill the one who dares to wake me. He pulls away and stares at me.
"AnneMarie... would you do me the honors of being mine? Forever?" I stared at him eyes wides, did he really ask me to be his?
"If you want to take it slow-" Without letting him finish I jumped on him and kissed him.
"Yes" kiss.
"Yes" kiss.
"Yes, yes, and yes" kiss, kiss, kiss, and kiss.
Jasper laughs in between the kisses. He picks me up and spins me around. We turn to the shore and see the sun setting in. It was beautiful, I turn to look at Jasper, this is perfect, he's perfect. Jasper turns to me, smiles, and kisses me once more before we left walking to the car holding hands.
~~~~~~~~~~Next day~~~~~~~~~~
I was helping Bella was the truck when all a sudden, Edwards comes jumping on to of the hood. Bella accidentally sprays water on him.
"Come to my house tomorrow, the both of you," he says jumping down.
"It's nice to see you too, a lovely day we're having," I said. Edward turns to me smirking,
"Evening Annie. So how about it. You girls on board?" he asks.
"Don't have to tell me twice. A date at the famous Cullen's house, pssh count me in"I said smiling. Edward smiles and we both turn to Bella, who still looks shocked.
"Your house? With your family?" Bella asked shocked. He turns to look at the dented fender and easily pops the larger dent out of the truck's body.
"What? But... what if they don't like me?" she asked. Edward and I turn to each other and laughed. Edward turns to Bella.
"You're worried, not because you'll be in a houseful of vampires, but because you think they won't approve of you" he laughs heartily and turns to me.
"That's Bella," I said smiling.
"Glad I amuse you guys," Bella said rolling her eyes. I went to hug her.
"Hey, it'll be fun. Meeting the vamps family. What could possibly go wrong?" I asked. Bella slightly smiles at me and we both to turn to Edward.
"Yeah, listen to your older sister," Edward said smirking.
"For the last time she's older by two minutes," Bella said sighing. Edward and I started to laugh but then his laughter dies as he hears something from far.
"What is it?" I asked. Edward turns to me with a small smile,
"Complication" Edward said as a black car comes into view, pulls up. Edward turns to us.
"I'll pick you girls up tomorrow," Edward said before leaving us there confused.
Jacob and Billy were in the car who pulled up. Edward slowly passes Billy and they both stared at each other intensely. Bella and I watched Edward drive away. Bella was confused by their exchange but I knew better. They were having a vampire vs wolf staredown. Bella turns to Jake and Billy and forces a smile as we both greet our new visitors.
"Jake, Billy. What a nice surprise" I greet them. Jake sets up Billy's wheelchair and Billy climbs into.
"Annie, it's not too see you girls again. How's everything going?" Billy asked.
"Just peachy," I said smiling, unlike Bella's my smile was genuine.
"Come to visit your truck?" Bella asked,
"Looks good. You got that dent out" Jake said.
"It was a piece of cake," I said smirking. Bella nudged me, Jake smiles and Billy just stared at us.
"Actually, we came to visit your flat screen. First Mariners game of the season. Plus Jacob here kept bugging me to see you again" Billy said.
"Great, dad. Thanks" Jake said mortified.
"It's okay, Jake," I said making them turn to me.
"I know we're irresistible" I smirked at him. Billy and Jake smiled at me while Bella rolls her eyes. Just then the police cruiser pulls up. My dad climbs out, holding two six-packs.
"Pale Ale" dad said.
"Harry Clearwater's homemade fish fry," Billy said holding up a brown paper bag. Dad smiles, pleased. Dad helps Billy inside while Jake, Bella, and I went into the living room. Jake and Bella took the couch. I clicked on the tv as dad and Billy made it to the living room.
"Any luck with the Waylon case?" Billy ask. They all turned to me but I turn away.
"Found a footprint out at the crime scene today. A bare, human footprint" Dad said. I turn to him horrified. Billy seems disturbed but not as surprised.
"A person did that?" Bella asked.
"A crazy person, walking around barefoot this time of year," Jake said looking disturbed.
"That impossible," I said making them turn to me. Billy frown.
"I was the only one there. Dad, there was no one besides me and"I said trailing off.
"Annie I know. But you weren't there during the incident" he said. I nod understanding him. I mean why would the vampires leave evidence? It makes no sense what so ever. Dad turns to Billy.
"Spread the word out at the rez, will ya? Keep the kids out of the woods. In case there's a madman out there" dad tells Billy.
"Will do, don't want no one else getting hurt," Billy said turning to Bella and me. Bella and I shared a look before I got up and took the brown paper bag from Billy.
"Let me heat that up for you guys," I said. When I came back with the fried fish, I handed the plates to dad and Billy. I turn to Jake.
"Wanna hang out?" I ask.
"What are we doing now?" he asked smirking.
"You know what I mean. Wanna go the game or wanna go upstairs to watch a movie? Or we could go out somewhere?" I asked him.
"Whatever you girls want," he said. We turn to Bella and she shrugged her shoulder. Jake turns to me and I sighed.
"Let's go pick out a movie. If we decide to go out we'll never agree to a place" I said. Bella and Jake followed me to my room. I put on the movie 'Accepted' (A/N: LOVE THAT MOVIE)
"Popcorn? Chips? Ice cream? Soda?" I asked.
"You know what I'll just bring everything we have," I said not even waiting for their response. Going downstairs I notice that Billy was staring at me intensely. I made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, some popcorn and made sure I got some sodas with me. Walking up to go back stairs I notice he was still staring, so I hurried up not even caring if something fell. When I got to my room, Bella and Jake turn shocked.
"You weren't kidding when you said you're gonna bring everything," Bella said. I smiled as I put two kinds of chips, cookies, popcorn, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, some candies, ice cream, three spoons and finally our drinks. I smiled at them looking pleasure that I was able to carry them all the way here.
"Let's start," I said smiling.
Jake and Bella smiled at me as I went to sit on my bean bag. That evening, we watched movies and ate junk food. I liked hanging out with Jake because for a tiny little moment, we were just like any normal teenagers. I wasn't worried about vampires or worried if this was my last day, I was just a normal teenage girl watching a movie with her twin sister and her friend. Just like how life should be, simple and sweet.
