Always and Forever

Chp. 5

Back To Square One

Edward POV

I was upset that I hadn't really gotten a gotten a crack at that foul dog, but we got to go back to out 'lives'. We started back at square one, new town, new school, same rumors, same curriculum that I had memorized by heart.

Bella seemed to have no need for human blood so she would start school with the rest of us. We were to attend Knightsbridge High School.

We had unpacked and Alice and Rosalie decided she needed a shopping spree. I decided to surprise her…

Bella POV

Alice and Rosalie dragged me into store after store, so far Abercrombie and Fitch, Hollister, Forever 21, Alloy, (I know there are not real stores but work with me!) Delias, and now Aeropostale.

It was a bit more fun and we started going through rack after rack looking for anything we liked. I ended up with, a pink baby T that said Aeropostale, a white NY 1987 baby t, a yellow baby t that said 'love our planet', a pair of white reverse script knit pants (I also got them in red and purple) a blue paisley zip front hoodie, a 1987 checker zip front hoodie, a blue open neck baby rib top, a blue striped Henley, a houndstooth mini skirt, a pleated plaid mini skirt, and a denim rhinestone mini skirt. It all came to a total of $200.92 I was shocked but didn't complain.

Next we went to American Eagle as we crossed the mall we got some serious stares. We couldn't help cracking up when a guy staring our way hit a pole. Silly humans you'd think they'd never seen a vampire before.

When we entered the store one of those greeters greeted us. You could really tell that they hated their job.

We went through the racks until Alice squealed and ran over holding a simple black strapless dress.

"Bella you to get this!" She squealed then whispered, "I saw you wearing it on the first day of school and you must get!"

"Alright Alice if I get it can we go? You guys already spent over $1500 on me today!"

Alice nodded and we paid.

As we walked toward Rosalie's BMW Alice told me to wear jeans and a white T-shirt under the dress so I agreed.

I was shocked that I had enjoyed this.

When we pulled into the driveway my jaw dropped. There next to everyone else's cars sat a new, shiny, silver, 2008 Chevy Camaro. I gasped. And I thought the clothes were a lot of money. Alice and Rosalie grinned.

I jumped out of the car screaming how much I loved it. The license plate even said "VAMPITUDE" (Pretend it fits!)

Edward tossed me the keys and climbed in the passenger seat and I sped out of the driveway and found a deserted highway and slammed my foot on the gas. I saw I was pushing 110 mph.

After a little while I decided to turn around so I turned the wheel sharply but the car made a fairly smooth turn.

Edward seemed to be enjoying himself too. We raced back into the small town of Knightsbridge and I forced my self to slow down so I was only pushing 70.

We pulled into the driveway we were laughing and grinning like idiots.

"EDWARD! I LOVE IT!" I screamed.

"I'm glad you like it. I thought that after all you've been through you'd enjoy a good surprise for once. It's a 'welcome to the family' gift."

"You shouldn't have… but I'm glad you did."

He smiled and got out of the car.

"Edward do I have to not drive it around town like Alice and her Porsche?"

He sighed, "Try not to drive it everywhere but enjoy it!"

I squealed then covered my mouth and couldn't help laughing.

"Bella?" He asked cautiously, " Did you just squeal? Are you ok?"

"Yes and no most definitely not."

"You aren't the only one with a new car today. Jasper said he was getting a Dodge Viper. I think red or white."

Just then Jasper sped down the driveway in a bright red Dodge Viper.

He got out and was grinning like I had never seen him grin before and therefore was sending out waves of extreme happiness and every one came out to see the new cars.

I saw Rosalie excitedly running her eyes over the cars.

"Rosalie," I said snapping her out of her daydreams. "Knock yourself out!" I said and she jumped up and down and ran to open the hood.

"Thanks Bella! You'll be able to challenge any NASCAR when I'm done!"

I was glad Rosalie was happy.

I turned to Edward and said simply, " I need to hunt."

He nodded and we turned toward the woods.

I poked him in the shoulder.

"Tag your it!"

I took off into the woods full speed.

I could hear him coming but I still had the head start.

I stopped in a clearing when I smelled a herd of deer.

I took off toward them sending Edward a mental picture of the herd, and he stopped behind me a moment later.

There were 5 or 6 deer so we could both drink.

I counted off silently, 1…2…3!

With that we both took off at them. We each bit two in the neck before stopping to drink as the others bolted to the woods.

When we both were satisfied, I was about to run when Edward poked me in the shoulder.

"tag." Was all he said before taking off into the forest.

I sighed and took off after him and stopped and teleported infront of him and stopped him.

I tagged him. "Gotcha!" then released him and ran off toward home.

I beat him home and found Rosalie working on my car.

"How's it coming?" I asked but instintaly regretted it.

She launched into an indepth expaination of exactly what she was doing.

I had never seen her so excited. I smiled and nodded pretending to understand.

I saw Edward creeping up behind me in the mirror of my car.

" Freeze Edward Cullen!"

he stopped then tore upstairs.

I laughed and was soon joined be Rosalie. I was really loving my new life…

R&R

Happy Haloween!
