(((I HAD to do it. What are you talking about? OF COURSE I HAD TO!!! If I didn't have to tell the world that I don't own Twilight, then why would I? Well, yeah sure, I could just not say it, but then I might get sued or something…)))(((You say it. I don't want to say it. No, I wont. Okay, okay fine! Thank you Rainfire13 and Paper Hearts and Paper Cuts for the suggestion of the rider today! Happy now?)))
Edward and I where sitting in the Vanquish, Edward decided to wait to get a new Volvo. To be honest, he just wanted to drive around in his Vanquish. I didn't mind though, almost everything that made him happy made me happy. I still don't like my morality too much, but that's pretty much it… oh wait, and my blushes and tripping.
"Edward?"
"Yes, Love?"
"How much longer till lunch is over?" the real reason we were sitting out here was to avoid people asking Edward for a ride home. I didn't want a repeat of either of the last two days. And neither did Edward.
"We still have ten minutes, we might make it today," he smiled that dang crocked smile up at me and my heart skipped a beat, which made him smile more. I was leaning against the back door today, while Edward was resting his head over my heart, being careful not to crush me. I kind of liked it like this; I can play with his hair this way. Edward tilted his head up more, to look me in the eye. I couldn't stop myself from leaning down to kiss his perfect lips. The kiss got deeper and pasted his old boundaries. We were both getting sick of the old ones, and Edward had been getting better at controlling his thirst and such, so we moved them.
There was a sudden tap of the window that made me jump in surprise and Edward chuckle at my jump. I huffed and looked away, pouting. Edward chuckled some more and gave me a light peck on the lips. He rolled down the window and looked to see who it was.
Edward was still on top of me, and we were both slightly devilish. In fact, Edward had some lipstick, which Alice forced on me, on his lips… and some on his neck… I giggled slightly and Edward smiled down at me and I up at him. I licked a finger and wiped what I could off. Lauren was still just standing there…
"Can we help you?" Edward asked.
"Uh, yeah, mymomcan'tpickmeup, so Iwaswonderingifyoucantakemehome, thanks! Bye!" she ran off.
"Great! Just what we need!" I huffed, "another girl ridging in the car! She is probably going to be worse then Jessica!"
"I agree with you there," Edward said, just as the bell rang. We straitened up some more and went to class.
--------
The day was uneventful. Edward did get a few comments about his 'awesomely cool' and 'flipping sweet' car. Yeah, Edward and I didn't have a clue as of what they where getting at. I hate slang.
I met up with Edward after gym, and we walked to the Vanquish in silence. We got there; I did not like what I saw.
Lauren found it necessary to change into a camouflaged tube top, a blue jean skirt that was all of four inches long, and a pair of black hooker-heals. That's not all; she was spread out on the hood of the car as if she was trying to get a tan. It's Forks; the sun does not exist in Forks.
"GET OFF OF MY CAR!!!!" Edward yelled. If you thought that he was protective over the Volvo, you have no idea about the Vanquish… it's only slightly second to me.
"Wha-" and she falls of the car.
"What's with petty high school girls and sitting upon my car!" Edward whispered angrily. I put both my arms around his waist and hugged him to me. He smiled down at me. I love it when he looks at me like that; it makes me feel… special.
"Maybe they are trying to get what I have?" I said, I was suddenly scared that they might just get it, I mean I am no where near as beautiful and any of them. I stopped walking.
"Bella?" Edward asked, turning to face me, "Bella? What's wrong?"
I didn't say anything, and just wrapped my arms around him, not wanting to ever let go. Edward maneuvered his feet under mine so that we could get to the car. He unlocked the car and opened the passenger seat, which Lauren promptly put herself in. Edward started to growl and I hugged him tighter as a warning that her was.
"Get. Out. Of. That. Seat." Edward said, saying each world carefully as to now growl at her.
"No, I don't think I will."
"I think you will."
"No."
"Now," Edward put a bit of an emphasis on this with a slight growl.
"Why should I?"
"My car, my rules. Now, up."
"No," Edward reached out his hand, and seeing that it was Edward's hand, Lauren grabbed it. He hauled her out of the car and placed me in the seat she was just in.
"Bella?" I was clutching his jacket for dear life; I still had that sudden fear that another girl would get his attention. "Bella? Are you alright?" I nodded and he sighed in relieve, "now, can you let go of my jacket so I can get in the car?" this time I shook my head, I didn't want him to leave me for a second, she sighed again, "How about if I give you my jacket an then get in the car?" I thought about this for a minute, if I had his jacket, surly he wouldn't leave, right? Plus, it smelled good I nodded again. Edward let out a sigh of relief and slipped out of his jacket. He was about to walk around when I pulled him back to me. "Bella? I thought I could get around the car now…" he was confused, with good reason. I didn't answer him; I just pulled his lips to mine. I felt him smile in the kiss.
"Now you can," I whispered once we pulled away. I let go of him and he closed the door. He got into the driver's seat and pulled me closer to him. I was almost sitting on the center console.
For some reason, Lauren is still standing out side. I pushed that thought away and kiss Edward's neck, because it was there, and I want to kiss him. He gets the idea and turns so that he can kiss me as well. This goes on for a good five minutes and Lauren is still not in the car.
I'm too curious for my own good, I pull away and Edward whimpers. I look at him for a minute, I mean really, he just whimpered. "Edward?" He looked at me, "Did you just… whimper?" he smiled sheepishly and that's all I need to hear. I giggle a little and give him a little peck. "Why is Lauren still standing outside?"
"She wants me to open the door for her, she convinced herself that I really like her and that I'm just trying to make her jealous," he chuckled, "Obviously she's blind to my love for you," he bent back down and kissed me again. It was getting deeper, and his hand lower, when the door slammed shut, making me jump. Edward chuckled and gave me a peck on the lips before starting the car and pulling out of the parking lot.
We stopped at a red light and Edward kissed me, just like with Jessica, Lauren cleared her through first, and then resorted to 'coughing'.
"Do you have a cold, Lauren?" Edward and I asked at same time, make us smile and her blush a little bit.
"Uh… no… do you have any music we can listen to?"
"Yeah," I said, taking out Edward's latest burnt CD. I smiled at him and popped it in. the first song, as always, was my lullaby. I snuggled in his jacket, slipping off my shoes so I could curl up, and rested my head on Edward's shoulder, smiling in contentment with Edward's arm wrapped around my waist.
"What is this?" Lauren asked, I couldn't tell what she thought about it by the way she spoke.
"My lullaby," I answered, still facing forward.
"It's totally disgusting," she spat, "right, Edward?" She said in a suggestive tone. Did she not even wonder who wrote it? Edward pulled the car over.
"No."
"But-but-but."
"Lauren," I said, she looked at me with all the hatred she could muster, but it was nothing compared to Rosalie. I didn't even flinch, which made her gasp, "Edward wrote it," It was my turn to glare at her, and she did flinch.
"Huh? But you said that…"
"It is her lullaby," Edward said through gritted teeth, "I wrote it for her. She was the inspiration."
"Oh…" she stayed quiet for a while. The next song came on, and we started moving again.
You got your feet squeezed into heels that hurt
Cause they go with the job and they go with the skirt
You gotta look good when you're out there
Climbing ladders
You go above and beyond and then way beyond that
You do it all, yeah, you wear every hat
Hoping someone that matters will realize you matter
But all that really matters is it's Friday
And the sun is shining over my way
Toss your heels in the backseat
Drive home in your bare feet
Throw in that Van Morrison CD
Chip away a little by little
Till you find your groove
I'll pick up some takeout, we can just hang out
Levis and wine, blankets and lights down
Lay your head right here on my shoulder
And just be you when you're with me
Girl, you got nothing to prove
I could listen all night if you wanna talk
Or we can lay here and say nothing at all
I already know who you are and that I love you
So, baby, take a long deep breath and exhale
Cause all you gotta be tonight is yourself
Toss your heels in the backseat
Drive home in your bare feet
Throw in that Van Morrison CD
Chip away a little by little
Till you find your groove
I'll pick up some takeout, we can just hang out
Levis and wine, blankets and lights down
Lay your head right here on my shoulder
And just be you when you're with me
Girl, you got nothing to prove
You got nothing to prove
I'll pick up some takeout, we can just hang out
Levis and wine, blankets and lights down
Lay your head right here on my shoulder
And just be you when you're with me
Girl, you got nothing to prove
When we're together you got nothing to prove
You got nothing to prove, you got nothing to prove
You got nothing to prove
"Are you trying to tell me something, Mister?" Lauren asked from the back seat.
"No, not you. Bella, I only try to tell Bella thing like this, that is the only way it will ever be," Edward said, making my heart swell up.
"I love you, Edward Cullen," I would have said his full name, but I didn't want Lauren to know it. I know, a bit selfish, but she would make up some crazy lie about how she found out.
"I love you, too, Isabella Swan," Edward kissed the tip of my nose and the next song came on. It was me that was singing this time and I sang along…
She walks to school with the lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she's holding back
Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday
She hides the bruises with linen and lace
The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was never born
Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel
Somebody cries in the middle of the night
The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When morning comes it'll be too late
Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel
This song always gets to me. I had started silently crying halfway through. I turned and buried my head in Edward's shoulder as I cried. I pulled away and saw two wet spots; I glanced at Lauren to find that she, too, was crying. I looked back at Edward to find him looking at me. He took the arm that was around my waist and wiped my tears. I smiled at him and he smiled back. The next song came on.
As I walk along I wonder
What went wrong with our love
A love so rearing strong
And as I walk along I think of
The times we had together
While our heart's were young
I'm walking in the rain
Tears are falling and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder, I wa, wa, wa, wa wonder
Why, why, why, why, why, why
She ran away
And I wonder
Where she will stay
My little runaway
Run, run, run, run runaway
I'm walking in the rain
Tears are falling and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder, I wa, wa, wa, wa wonder
Why, why, why, why, why, why
She ran away
And I wonder
Where she will stay
My little runaway
Run, run, run, run runaway
run, run, run, run runaway
run, run, run, run runaway
"Ed-HAHA-ward, HAHA, how, HAHA, did you, HAHA, get this?" I cracked up.
"Alice went over to your house one day, she was going to drag you shopping, and she heard Charlie singing and she couldn't resist," I broke out in laughter again and I heard some from that backseat too.
"That was, like, so, like, funny!" great, I thought she didn't do the whole 'like' thing!
Another song came on then. It was Johnny Cash; I love him!!!
My daddy left home when I was three
and he didn't leave much to ma and me
just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid
but the meanest thing that he ever did
was before he left, he went and named me "Sue."
Well, he must o' thought that is quite a joke
and it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk,
It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Sue."
Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
my fist got hard and my wits got keen,
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame.
But I made a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
and kill that man who gave me that awful name.
Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
and I just hit town and my throat was dry,
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew.
At an old saloon on a street of mud,
there at a table, dealing stud,
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me "Sue."
Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
from a worn-out picture that my mother'd had,
and I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
He was big and bent and gray and old,
and I looked at him and my blood ran cold
and I said: "My name is 'Sue!' How do you do!
Now your gonna die!!"
Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
and he went down, but to my surprise,
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
and we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.
I tell ya, I've fought tougher men
but I really can't remember when,
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
He went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.
And he said: "Son, this world is rough
and if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
And I knew I wouldn't be there to help ya along.
So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
and it's the name that helped to make you strong."
He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you "Sue.'"
I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
and I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
and I came away with a different point of view.
And I think about him, now and then,
Every time I try and every time I win,
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
Bill or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name!
Oh God! Emmett picks the weirdest songs to sing!
"He did it again!" Edward was out raged, "first it was 'They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-ha' then 'Chicks Dig It' and 'Love Train' but now it's-it's what is it?"
"'A Boy Named Sue'. I like this song, just not when Emmett sings it," I stated.
"Yeah…" Lauren was staring at Edward the whole time, not bothering to listen to the songs anymore.
We stop at stoplight and Edward leans over to kiss me. I thoroughly enjoyed the kiss, too.
"Yeah…" Lauren was trying to get us to stop kissing, but that wasn't going to work. The light changed and Edward sped off again.
Another song came on and it was Alice…
I used to live in a darkened room
Had a face of stone
And a heart of gloom
Lost my hope, I was so far gone
Crying all my tears
With the curtains drawn
I didn't know until my soul broke free
I've got these angels watching over me
Oh watch me go
I'm a happy girl
Everybody knows
That the sweetest thing you'll ever see
In the whole wide world
Is a happy girl
I used to hide in a party crowd
Bottled up inside
Feeling so left out
Standing in a corner wearing concrete shoes
With my frozen smile
And my lighted fuse
Now every time I start to feel like that
I roll my heart out like a welcome mat
Oh watch me go
I'm a happy girl
Everybody knows
That the sweetest thing you'll ever see
In the whole wide world
Is a happy girl
Laugh when I feel like it
Cry when I feel like it
That's just how my life is
That's how it goes
Oh watch me go
I'm a happy girl
And I've come to know
That the world won't change
Just 'cause I complain
Let the axis twirl
I'm a happy girl
Oh watch me go
I'm a happy girl
Everybody knows
That the sweetest thing you'll ever see
In the whole wide world
Is a happy girl
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
I'm a happy girl
That was a perfect song for Alice.
"Damn, that girl can sing!" Lauren said as we pulled into her driveway. Lauren gets out, but before she went in side, she notices Edward's window open. She leans in and pulls him to her. She starts trying to make out with him, but he pushes her away. He grabs a thing of Germ-X and rubs it on his mouth. He then wipes it off with a napkin and pulls me to him.
We start kissing and another song starts playing:
Well you're a real hot cookie with your new hairdo
Your high heel boots and your credit card
Long legs and a mini skirt
Yeah you know what works and you work it hard
You smile like such a lady, innocent and sweet
You drive the men folk crazy, but any girl can see
You're just aHome wrecker
I know what you're doing'
You think you're gonna ruin what I got, but you're not
Yeah you little go getter
I'll teach you a lesson
If you get to messing' with my man
You don't stand a chance
No, you're just a home wrecker
I'm sure you waited for a long, long time
To find a man like mine
But honey you're too late
So before you go and make your move
Maybe me and you should get a few things straight
There's two ways we can do this
I'll let you decide
You can take it somewhere else
Or we can take it outside, you little
Home wrecker
I know what you're doing'
You think you're gonna ruin what I got, but you're not
Yeah you little go getter
I'll teach you a lesson
If you get to messing' with my man
You don't stand a chance
No, you're just a home wrecker
Now honey, I'm a Christian, but if you keep it up
I'm-a gonna go to kicking' your pretty little butt
Is that clear enough, yeah, you little
Home wrecker
I'll teach you a lesson
If you get to messing' with my man
You don't stand a chance
No, you're just a home wrecker
Yeah you're just a home wrecker
A home wrecker
I start laughing; 'Home Wrecker' and Emmett do not mix!!!! HAHAHA
That song fits Jessica and Lauren perfectly!!!!!!
(((What do you think???)))
