Chapter Three
I hope you like this update!
After biology class was over, I said a quick goodbye to Edward before I left the classroom. It wasn't raining and I wanted to take advantage of the good weather. Chrissy always stayed afterschool for journalism or volleyball and I didn't enjoy riding the bus, so I usually walked home.
"Where are you going?" Edward asked, but I ignored him. I didn't mean to be rude, but it could rain any second in Forks.
Jasper and Emmett were waiting for me outside of the classroom. How did they get here so quickly? Their classes were on the other side of the building and the bell just rang. As I looked over at them, I couldn't help but think about the strange affect the Cullen boys had on me. The place where Emmett had kissed on my cheek had warm for the longest time and when I met their eyes, everything around me seemed to disappear and all I could see was them.
Jasper had a moody look on his face before I approached. When he saw me, he smiled. "Hey, beautiful," he said.
"You stole my line," Emmett told him.
I shook my head. "You guys are ridiculous," I said.
"Anyways," I began as I walked down the hallway. "I have to get going. It was nice meeting you guys!"
"Where are you going?" Edward asked, walking on my right side. Jasper and Emmett were on my left.
"I have to walk home," I told him.
"Don't be silly," Emmett said. "We can give you a ride home."
My mom wouldn't like me being in a car with a stranger.
I shook my head. "That's okay," I said. "I enjoy walking."
"But its going to rain soon," Alice said from behind us. If I had to guess, Rosalie was with her.
"How do you know?" I asked.
"Alice just knows things," Edward said after a moment of silence. "Please just let us give you a ride home. We don't want you walking outside in bad weather."
"Okay," I said caving in.
After that there was a discussion about which car to take as we walked out to the parking lot. Rosalie and Alice were going to take Rosalie's red convertible back home. Edward, Jasper, and Emmett all wanted to take me home, but they took separate cars here. Emmett had a white Jeep, Edward had a silver Volvo, and Jasper had a motorcycle.
"One of you can take me home and the rest of you can go home," I said.
There was an ultimate staredown after that.
"I don't think its too safe for her to ride on a motorcycle," Emmett said looking over at Jasper. "My Jeep has four wheel drive."
"My car has great gas mileage," Edward said, glaring at the other two.
"I have a helmet," Jasper said. "Riding on a motorcycle is a lot of fun."
I frowned. "My mom doesn't want me riding on a motorcycle," I said.
Jasper winked at me.
"That's okay," he said as he gave me a hug. "I can switch vehicles with Carlisle tomorrow then maybe we could go on a date afterschool. There's a nice Italian restaurant that I have been dying to try out in Port Angeles."
I felt so safe with his arms wrapped around me. It was like I finally found a place where I belonged.
"That sounds nice," I said and it did.
Even though I didn't know them well, Emmett, Jasper, and Edward were all very charming. It would be nice to go out on a date with one of them, but why did I feel so torn up inside? It was like something was missing.
Emmett ended up driving me home after he pointed out that Edward and I had shared a class together. Edward groaned before he leaned into me and gave me a hug like Jasper had. How did I feel the same in Edward's arms like I had in Jasper's?
Edward pulled away first, but I could tell that he didn't want to.
"Be careful," he said to me before looking over at Emmett.
Emmett rolled his eyes. "Yeah, I know," he said. "I have precious cargo."
Emmett held the passengers side door of the Jeep open for me and I got in. I gave him directions on how to get to my house as he drove. He asked me questions about my life as he drove below the speed limit. Did he want more time to talk to me?
There wasn't much to know about me. I told him that I enjoyed hiking through the woods behind my home and reading. I also liked hanging out at the La Push beach. He frowned when I said that but he wouldn't tell me why. Did he not like the beach?
I started to ask questions about him. I learned that he was pretty much an open book. He was very honest and he liked competing with his other siblings. He also enjoyed hunting large animals.
Even though I didn't like hunting, I enjoyed learning more about him.
We were so caught up in our own conversation that we didn't notice when a large, black truck ran a red light and came barreling our way. It hit the driver's side, but the impact affected me too.
The last thing I heard was Emmett saying, "Hold on" before I felt his arms on me then everything went black as I passed out.
I guess not its time for Delaney to meet Dr. Carlisle...
