Chapter 18: Finding Things Out

Previously:

I saw massive sorrow in his eyes before I realized I had seen that look before. On this person. But not in this life. In another.

I looked at his face and realized that it was THE face. The only memory or image I had without going to familiar places. It was the face that I could only describe with the word 'pain'. Why? Because this face had pain etched all over it? Or was it because this creature had caused me pain? I didn't know, but I wanted to find out. I wanted to find myself. Who I was. Or am.

"Your sad…" I hadn't meant to say it out loud but I mumbled it and him, being a vampire, heard it. He cringed.

Though it wasn't him who spoke. It was Alice. "He has gone through painful things. So, would you like to come over?" Her eyes held hope. Over what, I did not know. She no longer had that anger, only hope shining brightly. Her face held nothing, but it was the eyes that were the gates to the soul.

I looked to Nicole who was studying them. If I didn't know better, I'd think she was scrunching her nose in distaste. But I knew her, and she was scrunching her nose from concentration. If I was right, and I knew I was, she was wondering why they all looked dead or sad. Except Rosalie, she looked bored.

"Sure. We would love to come to your home. We have to get to class now." I stood and pulled Nicole from her staring. She looked at me and she looked like she was actually 7. Her eyes were pleading. She wanted to leave now.

"Nicole, you know we have to go get our slips signed." Then she pouted. Good thing I was used to her charms, otherwise I would have melted. "No. You know that is a sad attempt." I eyed her sternly. She gave up.

I looked back at the, they didn't say their names, well, them, to see they were gone. I grabbed Nicole and pulled her to Math. Time passed quickly and we went to our 6th period, Biology. When we got there, I saw that the bronz-Edward was there. He was sitting next to a empty seat and I looked to see that the only other seat open was by Bella.

I sighed, knowing I was going to sit next to Mr. Memories. He heard me, but I guessed he didn't care. Nicole looked at me and I nodded. I didn't need her to ask to sit next to Bella.

She skipped over and it reminded me of…Alice. Why? I hadn't even seen Alice walk, yet I saw images of Alice dancing as she walked to me. That walk put ballerinas to shame. I would quit ballet if I saw her move like that. It was the most graceful walk I'd ever seen, even for a vampire.

I went to the teacher and got both our slips signed. I was holding them since Nicole would lose it, even with her vampire memory.

I walked to the open seat. Edward didn't even look up when the chair moved.

I decided I would talk and he would listen. "Hello."

"Hi."

"So, I don't mean to intrude but…what happened to hurt you? And if I am right, you don't like me." I decided to be blunt.

He looked up. That's a start. "You are intruding by asking that question. And, I don't know you, so how can I not like you?"

"Sorry, you don't have to tell me. But I know whatever happened must have scarred you for eternity. As for you not liking me…you can not like someone when you first know them. I don't like Matt Newton. Did you know that his father is named Mike?" I had been staring at the wall as I spoke but when I finished I looked back at him.

"How would you know if I am scarred? And how do you know the Newton's?" He spit their name like it was human food on his tongue.

"I will tell you when we come over. If you plan on staying in the room that is." I could tell that he wasn't wanting to be there, so that meant he probably wouldn't. "I don't know how I know that Mike is the father…I just do…" I seriously didn't know why I remembered them. They were obviously my friends, but why did Edward hate him? Did he know him? Maybe he was there when I was here!

He was looking curiously at me. I ignored it. "Do you know Mike?" I asked with a little too much enthusiasm. I couldn't help it.

"Yeah, I know him." He was still looking at me funky.

"Well…" I waited for him to say anything else. He just looked at me more. "Do you remember me? I think I hung out with them! In my human life…" I trailed off.

"You couldn't have known him. Your seventeen, aren't you? I was in the same school as him and I didn't see anyone who looked like you."

"Well, that might have to do with…never mind. I'll tell you at the house. Back to you." I stared expectantly at him.

"Um. What about me?" He was nervous. What about?

"Why do you not like me?" It was something I wanted to know, and I don't beat around the bush.

"It's not that…it's that you remind me of…someone." He looked heartbroken and his eyes were pleading for me to end it there. I stared into the eyes and got caught there. He broke the trance when the bell rang.

Nicole came over to me and when I looked up, Edward was gone. Nicole was bouncing as we walked to the parking lot. She was telling me about Bella.

"…she is really nice and sweet. She is kind of shy though…I am really bouncy and I make her excited."

"Yea, she is a lot like her mother." Oh my god. Did I just say that? She didn't know of me remembering.

"You know her mother? And her mom is shy?"

"Yea, and you and her remind me of Alice and me." Oh. My. God. Did I say that too? Wait, where did that come from? I didn't even know Alice and yet, here I am, seeing her dance happily and talking about how she acts. Both of which she doesn't around me. Unless that thing that happened with Edward not only broke his happiness, but the family's too. That's it! Something dreadful must of happened…but what?

Nicole snapped me out of my reverie. "Alice? You mean the one that growled at me and is all sad looking? How do you know her and why do you compare her to me? I am not a grumpy pixie!"

"I don't know…"

"You don't know what?"

"Anything…"

We reached the parking lot and we got into my brand new car that I bought with the Young's money. Hey, we need transportation. It was a Bugatti Veyron. It cost over a million dollars. It was the color of the darkest part of Nicole's hair. A dark blue. The car was sleek and the hottest car I have ever seen! (On my profile, people. If that doesn't inspire you to check it out, I don't know what will.)

We slid into my car and I turned on the CD player. Clair De Lune filled the car. Nicole groaned. She didn't like classical like me. I don't know why I liked classical, but I do, especially Debussy.

The other vampires came out of the school and I think I saw all jaws drop. They all just stared when they saw me in the driver's seat.

Rosalie was the first one to un-freeze. She stepped forward cautiously. She then asked, "Is that a Burgatti Veyron? The new one? You gotta let me do some work on this. I can make the 300 horsepower a 400 horsepower! Please?" She was begging me.

But first I had to ask, "Where would I drive 400 mph?" I raised a perfect eyebrow.

"Who cares! All that matters is that you can."

If this was going to make her like me more then, "Okay, you can work on it later, I want to see your house." Then I put on my sunglasses and pulled out. The parking lot was empty by now and I honked my horn.

They all got in their cars and I followed them to their mystery house.
