Chapter 3

I stayed in my room for the rest of the night, my parents got worried, but I reassured them it's nothing. I was trying to figure this all out and what it could mean. I looked over and saw it was midnight. I quickly got out my laptop and went to Google and typed in cold hands, blood, and golden eyes. Vampires is what had come up and I quickly shut the computer in disgust. I mean it could've been punch or something that looked like blood. I'm blowing this whole thing out of proportion and worrying over nothing. I took a deep breathe and decided that I'm not going to worry about the Cullen's and just worry about getting through my last couple years in high school.

When I woke up in the morning I noticed that it was only eight in the morning, so much for sleeping in on Saturday. I got downstairs and noticed my mom making breakfast and daddy reading the paper. "Morning" I said taking my place at the table. "Morning Eve I'm making scramble eggs" Mom said. I knew I had to ask them about the party, I just hope they say yes. I took a deep breathe and asked "I was wondering if I may go to a party tonight." Daddy put his paper down and asked "Party, where's this party at." I knew this was going to happen. "My friend Kevin Mason's house, he'd invited me yesterday." "How come we haven't heard of Kevin Mason" Mom asked as she sat down the eggs in front of me. I groaned and said "Mom please he's just a friend." Mom looked at Dad with a playful smile and said "What do you think George should we let her go." "I don't know Cynthia should we." "Come on please I won't be out late I promised" I said begging. "Just be back by ten thirty" Dad said. I squealed and said "Thank you so much."

Lucy and Becca came after breakfast to pick me up so we can go to the mall to pick an outfit for the party tonight. "So you must be exited for your big date with Kevin tonight" Becca said happily. I rolled my eyes and said "It's not a date, there will be others there to." "Please he just happens to find your notebook, and walks you home. If you ask me I say he's totally crushing on you" Lucy said enthusiastically. "You think so" I asked blushing at the thought of him possibly liking me. "Well Duh" both of them said in unison. Lucy then went on and said "Now we are going to Mall and going to find you a perfect outfit for tonight and I don't care if it takes all day." I chuckled because when Lucy focused her mind on something she was determined to see it through. That's why she's considered the punk girl of our group who dressed in a punk style and was very tough for a girl. When her last boyfriend cheated on her with the snobbish Carolyn Hawkins, she punched him so hard he had to be hospitalized because somehow both of his eyes were swollen shut and then she embarrassed Carolyn by reveling to the whole school that she stuffs her bra with toilet paper. Becca she was like me of being a girly girl, but she wore clothes that were more comfortable rather than stylish like I did. We were a weird bunch, but I don't care they are my best friends and I love every moment with them.

We literally spent the entire morning and afternoon shopping for one outfit. Every outfit apparently didn't scream I'm available, but not desperate. Finally after endless hours of searching we found the perfect outfit for the party tonight. It was a simple light purple dress with pink outlines with a light blue sweater. "So how do I look" I asked coming from the dressing room. "Gorgeous Kevin will drop dead when he sees you" Lucy said. I blushed at her comment hoping that Kevin would like it. We quickly paid for it and then Lucy drove us back to my place to get ready, since the party is in another hour.

"I'm so nervous" I said as Lucy was driving me over to David's for the party. "Don't be just be yourself" Becca said. "Yea and if anyone does anything to you call me and I'll come over and kick their asses" Lucy said smirking. I just rolled my eyes while those two carried on. Before I knew we where in front of an run down house that had music playing loud from the inside. "See you guys" I said as I got out. I heard them saying bye and drove off. I took a deep breathe telling myself there was nothing to worry about. I rang the door bell, but I think that was probably a bad idea considering how loud the music was. Suddenly the door opened and there was Kevin. "Hey Eve glad you could make it" he said smiled. I blushed and said "Thanks." When I entered I notice there was a lot more people than I expected. Most of them looked pretty scary wearing dark clothes and all that, which made me feel pretty left out as I was wearing a light purple dress. "You want a drink" Kevin offered. I nodded and said "Sure." "Come one lets sit on the couch" Kevin said. He pointed to a couch that wasn't occupied, I went over and sat down while he went to get me a drink. All of a sudden the burn was starting to come back in my throat. Then it got even wilder somehow I could hear what everyone was talking about. A lot of them were making fun of me because of the way I was dressed and some of them called me a Rich-Bitch. I looked at myself and didn't see why they would have a problem. Then I heard Kevin's voice all the way from the other side of the room. "Dude she's a cutie where'd you find her" one of his friends asked. "A girl from school, she's Eve Martin, one of the richest kids at her school" I heard Kevin replied. "So how long do you think before you can get her in bed." Kevin chuckled and said "Shouldn't be too long, I mean she seems pretty desperate, she hangs out with weirdos for friends." I could feel the tears coming right down my eyes, I can't believe he was using me this whole time. I got up to leave until I felt someone grabbed my hand. I turned around and saw Kevin. "Hey where are you going, what's wrong" he asked noticing my crying. "YOU" I screamed which caught everyone's attention. "I heard what you said about getting me in your bed" I said through my tears. He looked really confused and said "How you were all the way on the other side." "SHUT UP" I screamed. "You misunderstood" he tried to explain, but I wouldn't let him. "BULL SHIT I KNOW WHAT I HEARD." "I can't believe I ever liked you" I said disgusted. Then before I knew I used my hands and flipped the couch, which I didn't expect and certainty didn't expect it to go flying out the window. I saw everyone look at me at shock and wondering at how I did it. Kevin looked at me with a frightened expression. I quickly left his house and ran down the streets.

I didn't know where I was going, but I didn't really care at the moment. I just walked and continued to cry. I couldn't believe that this was happening to me, just when I thought everything in my life was going good. I was too busy sulking, I didn't notice a car approaching me. "You need a ride" a familiar bell like voice called out. I turned and saw Alice Cullen driving a Yellow Porche. Wonder what she's doing out here at dark. I shook my head and said "No it's fine, but thank you." Then suddenly the burn in my throat came back and I ended up gasping for air. "Come on Eve, Carlisle can give you something for the burning" she said. How the hell did she know about the burning I my throat. I decided to get in because the burning was starting to get worse. When I got in she started to drive. "Why are you crying" she asked worried. I shook my head because I didn't really want to talk about it with her. "Well if you want to talk about it I'm here to listen."I looked and notice she was driving over 150 miles. "Holy fuck slow down" I said nervously. She just chuckled and said "Don't worry we won't crash, it's normal for my family to drive." This is normal for them I questioned.

We were soon driving out of town and 5 minutes later we pulled into a driveway. They must like their privacy to live outside of town. Their house was huge it was white and three stories. "Come on everyone's waiting" Alice said cheerfully. I just followed her in and saw her whole family waiting in the living room. "Esme this is Eve Martin" she said speaking to a smiling women who had carmel hair and looked motherly, but still just like Carlisle she was so young looking to be someone's mother at their ages. "It's very nice to meet you Eve" she said hugging me. She was so cold it was unreal, almost like she was a walking corpse. I heard Edward chuckling a little. "Eve it's nice to see you again" Dr. Cullen said coming in. "Dr. Cullen the burning in my throat keeps coming back" I said. He didn't look totally surprised and said "It really is no surprise, here I got you another drink." I looked at the paper cup and wondered about if it was really blood or not, but I quickly took as I was really thirsty. I quickly drank from it and before I knew it, the cup was empty. The family looked at me with me curious eyes. "Why don't you take a seat next to Renesmee and Jacob" he said pointing to Edward's twin the girl with the curly bronze hair and the boy who was tanned. As soon as I sat down Renesmee reached for my hand and said "It's nice to meet you." The way she smiled was sort of like a sisterly smile. "You too" I said shaking her hand, but pulling back by how hot it was. "Renesmee besides the burning in your throat, have you experienced any other abnormal

stuff." I looked at the floor not knowing if I should tell them about what happened at the party or not. I faintly noticed Edward stiffen. "It's ok you can tell us" Renesmee said trying to encourage me. I sighed giving in and said "At the party tonight Kevin had gotten me mad and I ended up throwing his couch out his window." They still didn't look surprised, in fact it was almost like they expected it. "How did he get you mad" Edward asked sort of angry. I could feel tears in my eyes as I remembered what had happened tonight. I heard Edward growling for some reason I wonder why. "I-I don't want to talk about it" I said trying not to cry. "Did he hurt you, if he did we can beat him up for you" Emmett said. I couldn't help, but crack a smile he reminded me so much of Lucy it was funny. I shook my head and said "Don't worry about it he's a jerk anyways." This time it was Jasper to speak "He must be if he had hurt you bad." I raised my eyebrows a little and said "Yea I've lived in this town all my life and never had a single boyfriend and just when I thought that a boy liked me, then something just has to go wrong." "It's just one boy, I know you'll find a boy you'll like you for you" Bella said trying to comfort me. "Yea you will, it might take a while, but you will. Just be careful especially when your young there's one thing boys always want" Rosalie said grinding her teeth at the last part.

It was weird I spent like almost 2 hours just sitting and talking with the Cullens. I told them about my childhood and how I wanted to go to college for English literature, which got Bella's attention. We talked about our favorite authors and books. We both loved Wuthering heights, which cause many people in the room to roll their eyes which I didn't understand until Edward told me how many times she's read the book. "A 1000 times" I asked shocked. "No there just exaggerating" Bella tried to explain. "We are not, your the liar everytime one of us sees you lying around your reading that book" Emmett said laughing. She just glared at Emmett. I looked at my watch and saw it was ten after ten. "Oh man I'm going to have to get going I promised my dad I would be back by ten thirty" I said noticing the time. "Come on I'll give you ride home" Alice said getting up. "Well thanks for having me" I said. Esme smiled and said "It's our pleasure please stop again sometime." I turned to Carlisle and asked "What about my burning." Carlisle gave me a reassuring smile and said "Don't worry I'll figure something out, now you should probably get on home." "Come Eve" Alice said grabbing my hand.

When Alice dropped me off she said she wanted to plan a shopping trip with me, but when I told her that I wasn't much of a shopper she gasped and said I was like Bella, but she almost said mother. I was now laying in my bed trying to think things over since my parents won't be home until midnight. It was strange how natural it was being around them. I thought they were weird at first, but they turned out to be very nice people. Still there has to be something more to them, I mean they were really pale, cold skin, golden eyes and somehow it feels like Edward's reading my mind. Suddenly my mind went back to vampires. I know it's sounds pretty stupid, but I have no other answers than that. Also if it was blood that Carlisle was giving me, why would he have it and he also had it prepared both times I've seen him now. Then my mind went back to myself. The burning was getting worse and worse. Then there was the couch incident at the party and how I was able to hear what everyone was saying. Maybe there was something wrong with me but the doctors said I was healthy as possible. I decided to get up and check one of the boxes in the attic for my health records that my parents keep.

I always hate coming up to the attic it's nothing but cob webs up here. There were a ton of boxes and I didn't know which one to start with. I decided to start with the huge trunk. When I opened it there was a bunch of pictures, mostly me as a child. Then I saw a folder with my name written on it, hopefully this is my health records. But what I saw completely changed my life forever
