Chapter 7: This Mind

BPOV

A few weeks had passed. There were only a few more days until Breaking Dawn was planning to storm into America's female population. Just a few more days until my family would be skipping out on this world, possibly leaving everything we had ever known behind us. We were planning on using something similar apparition to get out of here. Disappearing into thin air, leaving no traces about our existence.

I tried to not dwell on things too much. There was no need to worry.

I found myself spending more and more time with Edward, if that was even possible. It didn't matter what we did together, as long as it was together. I was acting like I'd never see him again, which was just silly. We were just leaving this reality, nothing more.

At least that's what I kept telling myself.

My freaky brain was being freaky again. I didn't know what to do about it. I was doing everything that I could to not alert Edward to my worries. If he knew I was worrying he'd just tell me to stop after asking why I was even bothering to worry about anything to begin with. I was driving myself insane.

I knew that my emotions were probably driving Jasper insane, too. I wouldn't blame him if he exploded at me. Of course, Edward wouldn't appreciate that very much. So to try to keep myself somewhat sane, I kept picturing what Edward would do to Jasper if I didn't stop being silly. For the most part it worked.

I made sure to keep myself busy. I kept reading Jane Austen to keep my mind off the "situation." But my mind always drifted off anyway. I imagined going to a world like the one Jane Austen wrote about. Or maybe we'd end up somewhere like in all of those sci-fi movies.

Jasper and Carlisle still hadn't figured out where we'd be "going" in a few days. They were still debating how this whole thing worked. They were at exactly the same point they had started with weeks ago at the family meeting. It made me anxious. We were supposed to be escaping in just a few days and it seemed like we didn't know what we were doing.

Just as that thought crept across my mind for the thirty-seventh time, Carlisle came out of his study with Jasper. They looked a little aggravated, yet slightly accomplished.

Edward, who's lap I was sitting on, looked up from the book he was reading. The look on his face let me know that Carlisle and Jasper were blocking him. I couldn't tell if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

"We've come to the conclusion that we can't choose where we'll end up," Carlisle announced. He looked absolutely exasperated. If he wasn't a vampire he'd pass out on the floor. His eyes were coal black. All this time he'd been trying to figure things out, he had neglected to go hunting. "It'll be a surprise when we get there. For now, I'm going hunting." He left the room and I heard the front door shut behind him.

Knowing that we wouldn't know where we were going brought me back to my original thoughts of being anxious.

"Bella, why are you feeling so anxious?" Jasper came over to Edward and me.

"It's silly." I didn't want to go into detail and then explain that I saw Edward beating Jasper up over my insanity.

"Bella." Edward stared into my eyes, trying to dazzle the answer out of me.

I sighed in defeat. "I just wanted to know where we were going. But it doesn't matter where we go. I'm worrying about nothing." I felt slightly relieved. I didn't know if it was because I was coming clean or if Jasper was making me feel that way.

"Bella, you have nothing to worry about," Edward told me.

"I know. I just worry about things anyway."

"Silly Bella!" Alice came dancing over to join us on the couch. "Things will be fine. I can't tell you where we're going, but there's honestly nothing to worry about." With her grinning like that I had no choice but to agree with her.

"I trust you, Alice. Besides, I'd never bet against you."

"Of course, silly! Who would?"

"Emmett!" we all answered.

I got the feeling that that would never change, no matter where we went.

Review, review :) I had a slight fix up at the beginning. The apparation thing was confusing people. Sorry!
