Okaii guys, this is another short one, but I wanted to break this up into two parts and not put all the juicy events in this chapter. I also like to keep you guys on the edge of your seats...hehe!!

Chapter 15: Meet the Family

I woke up the next morning and shivered. I felt cold and couldn't pinpoint the reason why. I suddenly turned around and saw Tommy smiling down at me. I smiled back up at him. He kissed my cheek and finally got up from my bed. I saw him heading towards the window and I sat up quickly. "You're leaving?" I asked a little sad.

"Well, Stuart is still here, and I think it'd be a little awkward if he sees me in your room," Tommy informed me.

I chuckled lightly. "Promise you'll come back later on," I said hopefully.

"Of course," he replied like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

He walked back towards me and pulled my from my bed. He put his hands on my waist and hesitantly kissed me again. He hesitated so much, afraid that he was going to hurt me. He wanted to make sure that my blood won't be so irresistible. Once his cold lips touched my warm ones, I blacked out for a second.

I opened my eyes and found Tommy holding me up. "My sweet Jude, what am I going to do with you?" he asked helping me up.

"What happened?" I asked looking into his eyes. I noticed that his eyes were a little darker than usual.

"First time I kiss you, you attack me. Second time, you faint. I must be one hell of a kisser." He smiled smugly.

Tommy was really full of himself. But with very good reasons. I rolled my eyes at him and kissed his cheeks. "You should probably go…and hunt," I told him.

He looked at me curiously. "Oh, I forgot to tell you," I noticed. "I know when you're hungry or not. See, when you're hungry, your eyes turn darker; even completely black sometimes. But when you're not, your eyes are gold."

"Wow, you seem to know so much about me already."

I shrugged. "I like to be very observant when it comes to you."

Tommy had to go because he heard Stuart's thought about coming up to check on me. When he left I started to get dressed. I have never been so happy in my life. I heard a knock on the door as I was brushing my hair. I called for them to come in. "Good morning, dad," I greeted him with a smile.

He smiled back. "Well, who put a smile on your face today?" Stuart asked as he sat down on my bed next to me.

"No one, I'm just in a good mood, today," I replied.

"Okay, I want you to know that I'm going fishing today with Billy."

"Alright, that's fine. I'll probably just hang out with Kat or something."

He gave me a kiss on my cheek and went on his way. About two hours later, after I called her, Kat was over and we were squealing. I was telling her about Tommy and I. Kat quickly grew to being my best friend. When I first met her, I didn't think we would actually become so close. Now, it felt like I could tell her anything. "Okay, so how does he kiss?" Kat asked enthusiastically.

"I don't think there's a word to describe it," I squealed.

"Told you he was completely hot," she said smugly.

"Yea, but it's more than that Kat. It's like when I'm with him, I feel like I can do anything. I've never felt like this before. It's scary, yet, exciting, you know?"

"Jude, I think you're in love."

"I know I'm in love."

"Aw, Jude!" She hugged me and I giggled as I hugged her back.

Kat had to go home, because she was going on a date with Jamie and I was happy for them. Just as I thought I was going to be able to settle down and get some me time, there was a knock at the door. I jumped out of my seat knowing it was Tommy. I smiled at him and was about to let him in when he gestured me to his car.

I shrugged and went into his beautiful blue viper. We were driving to god knows where and I could feel the wind in my hair. I soon saw the speed he was going and panicked. "Tommy, you're going 120 mph!" I shouted like he didn't know.

Tommy chuckled. "Of all the things to be scared of, you're worried about my driving."

"I don't do good with cars! Slow down!" He did what he was told and I sighed in relief. "So, I have a question for you."

"And that is?" He asked.

"If you're so dangerous why be with me."

He sighed and laughed a bit. "I'm already breaking all the rules. My family isn't too excited about it either. But Sadie…she likes you."

Tommy stopped at the edge of a cliff. You could see the beautiful mountains from it, and I smiled. I put my head on his chest slowly, so he would know what was happening. I didn't want him to freak like he did last time. I wanted to make this easy for him. I felt his icy lips place a soft kiss on my temple and I sighed in contentment. "So why are you so afraid of getting into a car crash?" Tommy asked me.

"You're pretty observant too," I sighed. "I was in a car crash when I was thirteen. I was driving to the mall with my mom…and my sister Sadie. She was fifteen at the time."

"You have a sister, named Sadie?" He asked. I could tell he found this quite odd, since of the Sadie in his family.

"Yea, I did, once," I admitted mournfully. "In the car crash, I thought I was going to die. I woke up in the hospital with my mom in a wheelchair beside me. I asked her about Sadie." I paused as tears reached the brim of my eyelids. "She said that she didn't make it. They couldn't find her body." I let a few tears fall on my face. "Ever since then, I have been scared to death of another one."

"Oh, girl, I am so sorry," he whispered and kissed my hair. He held me closer as I cried. "Do you not find it strange that you had a sister named Sadie, and I do too?" he asked me.

"A little strange," I sniffed.

"Do you think maybe-"

I interrupted him. "No, it can't be her. I've seen her. Of course, I never actually looked at her, I think I would've known. My sister's done, Tommy." After I said that line I cried even harder. I calmed down after a moment and he got out of his car. In inhuman speed he came to my side of the door and opened it. Tommy took my hand and my heart overreacted like always. "I want to ask a favor of you," he stated. I nodded my head for him to continue. "I want you to meet my family."

My smiled dropped. "Your family?" I asked in disbelief. It's not that I didn't want to meet his family, but the only one that seemed to like me even the least bit was Sadie. He even said that his family didn't like us together. So why was he going to take me to meet ten eyes that were just going to glare at me the whole night. I'm sorry, but I am not one to just sit back when someone is killing me with their eyes. "I'm not so sure that's a good idea Tommy."

"Please," he pleaded with his beautiful topaz eyes. How could you say 'no' to that face?

I sighed and smiled slightly. "I guess."

He smiled and his teeth glistened. He picked me up and spun me around as I laughed. He dropped me off at home so I could get ready. He was waiting out in the living. I had already called Stuart and told him about my plans. I looked in my closet. What do you wear to meet people that hate you? I picked a pair of dark blue jeans with chains on the side of it, a pink crop-top that said 'I love Goo Goo Dolls', and my pink high heels. I hopped down the stair and Tommy was waiting for me.

On the way to his house I kept biting my nails. I had no idea what to expect. I had never met anyone's family before, and this one already hated me. I kept checking the mirror making sure my hair was ok. I had straightened it, and now I wished I had just left it curly. What was up with me? I'm not the person that gets this nervous. I checked my makeup and put some more eyeliner on.

I could see Tommy trying not to laugh at me as I fidgeted. Suddenly, we got off the highway onto a dirt road. I looked around seeing if I recognized anything. This was the country side of Forks. I had only been here once with Stuart. Apparently, it was great for hiking with all the mountains. Tommy stopped in front of this house—oh I'm sorry—I mean mansion. It was enormous. Any bigger and it could've been the white house. I got out of the car and looked at it in awe. He took my hand and laced our fingers together as we walked the stone path to the house.

There were roman lamps outside of the house and a porch swing on the side. The flowers consisted of roses, tulips, daisies, and orchids. Orchids were my favorite flowers but I could never grow them. They were very hard, and I come here to see at least ten in the front yard. As we walked up the porch steps I held onto Tommy's hand tighter. "It'll be alright, my darling," he whispered. I nodded my head still unconvinced.

We entered and Tommy called out for his family. All of them were in the living in the blink of an eye. Darius looked at me and then back at Tommy. He was not happy about this at all. Portia gave him a disappointed look as everyone else glared at me. Sadie was just simply surprised. I tried to avoid their glares and questioning looks, and paid attention to Tommy instead. I noticed he had lost his smile. He was probably listening to their thoughts. I knew they weren't good. "Excuse me?" Tommy asked Karma.

"You heard me," Karma said in a low, angry tone. "Why the hell did you bring a no good human to our house?"

I bit my lip nervously. "Watch it Karma!" Tommy shouted. Oh yea, everything was going to be just fine. I looked around again and met eye contact with Sadie. I looked at her intently and gasped. Tommy looked at me curiously. "What is it?"

I pointed to Sadie and she cocked an eyebrow at me. "T-that's my sister," I whispered. Tommy's eye went wide in shock. Everyone, including Sadie, looked at me when like I was crazy. "That's my sister Sadie."

((sighs)) I love orchids!! hehe!! And I love cliffhangers...very different from the story I know! Okaii, I am going to have fun with the family. Especially Sadie!! Sadie's character is a little different in here, but all in all, I think it's a good thing!! REVIEW PLEASE!!!
