Luv... Sorry for da huge AN... I'll let you read now...
So, one could say that me and the Cullen family had a slight problem. Alice couldn't see my future because Jacob had, for some reason, decided to pay me a little visit. And on top of that, we didn't know when. Or, for that matter, why. Carlilse was right. All we could do was wait. And waiting was somewhat difficult for some people to do... especially Alice.
I also couldn't deny that I was a little excited. I was going to see Jake again and I knew for sure that he was alright. Although I did wonder whether Jacob was returning for a good reason. It was all just too complicated.
As I came down the flight of stairs for my breakfast, with Edward by my side of course, Alice was pacing back and forth restlessly by the windows, faster than any human would be able to.
"Alice, really, you need to calm down, you're gonna give yourself a..." She stopped pacing to stare at me with a strange look. "Nevermind," I said with a laugh.
"That's easy for you to say, Bella," she said, her tone harsh. "But wait until you have a power and it's taken away from you for some reason as stupid as a damn dog!"
Wow, she was really ticked off. But I let that last comment slide. "Come on, Alice, you don't even know if I'm going to have a power yet."
"Yes, of course I don't know!" she yelled flying up the stairs and slamming her door louder than necessary.
"Don't pay any attention to her," Edward said, sitting down on the kitchen counter with me in his lap. "She's just a little on edge."
"Is she?" I said sarcastically.
"What do you want to eat?" Edward asked.
"Hmmm..." I jumped down off of his lap and opened the refrigerator. The Cullen's had very generously stocked their fridge with all of my favorites, since they don't really have any room for their own. I decided just on a glass of orange juice. I wasn't that hungry.
When I turned around, Edward was looking disapprovingly at my choice.
"You know, you should take advantage of the time you have to eat human food," he said softly. "You might regret it, once your changed." I could tell he was trying not to scare me. He didn't.
"I won't regret it," I said, but opened up the pantry and got a pop tart. I stuck in the toaster with a smile.
When I finished eating my human food, Edward smiled and said gently, "Don't you think you should call your mother?"
I suddenly felt very nervous. He was right, I couldn't put it off for much longer. It would be much better to face my mother's disapproval and get it over with.
He smiled and tossed me a shiny silver cellphone. Oh come on, as if he really expects me to catch it, I thought as it flew threw the air, but to my surprise, it actually found my hands instead of the floor. But I could have sworn that it was just inches from the ground. I looked over at Edward, who was standing innocently in the same spot he had been before. The shock was clear on my face.
"Would I really let you drop it?" he whispered slyly as he took my hand and led me up to his room at human speed. We sat down on his round golden bed and I took a deep breath as I hesitantly dialed Renee's number.
It rang once, and then i heard her joyful voice at the other end. "Bella?"
"Hey, Mom," I said casually.
"Oh Bella, honey, I'm so happy to hear from you!" she said with enthusiasm similar to Alice's. "What have you been up to?"
Of course, that had to be the first question that she asked. I decided that we would just have a normal conversation before I told her. I didn't get to talk to her as much as I used to.
"Oh nothing, just happy that I'm out of highschool for good," I replied. "How are things over there?"
"Just great. But ever since Phil got signed, we haven't had much time together. I don't mind, though, he loves baseball so much."
I desperately searched for something casual to talk about. "Um, well, I've decided what college I want to go to."
"Honey, that's amazing! Which one?"
"The University of Alaska in Juneau," I said.
"Goodness, that's far away. But as long as you're getting a decent education, I guess the place doesn't really matter, does it?"
"No," I muttered, but my nervousness betrayed me. My voice cracked and I only said one freakin word!
"How is Edward?" she asked, beginning to sound suspicious.
"He's great," I said, turning to look into my angels eyes. I knew that in those eyes, I would find the confidence that I needed to break the news to her. He nodded once encouragingly.
"Bella, is everything, alright? You sound a little shaken," she said.
"Sure, Mom, everything's great." It was now or never. "It's just... I- I've got some- something to tell you," I stuttered.
"What?"
"It's about me and Edward." I waited. There was silence on the other end of the line. That was never a good sign, especially with Renee. She was hardly ever silent.
When she didn't answer, I closed my eyes and said, "We are going to get married."
"Oh my God, Bella! How could you do this?" she said with horror.
"Mom, please just respect my decision, ok?" I pleaded. "I know what I'm doing."
"Are you sure about that?" she spat. "Are you absolutely sure?"
"Yes, Mom. I want to spend the rest of my life with Edward and that's exactly what I'm going to do."
"You're just so young, Bella," she said hopelessly. She was about to cry, I could tell.
"Just think of it this way," I said gently. "If we wait, we're just prolonging the inevitable."
"Bella..." she sobbed.
"Mom, please, don't cry," I begged.
"I'm sorry, Bella, it's just..." She sobbed some more. "I'm just so happy!"
That really threw me off. "What?"
"I don't want you to make a mistake, but I'm so happy for you! Every mother is happy when their daughter is gets married."
I looked at Edward, who wrapped me in his arms and hugged me tightly.
"I'm glad that you're happy, Mom." Her crying was effecting me a little bit though. My eyes began to water up. "Well, we would like it if you would help us with the wedding."
"Oh, Bella, of course I will!" she cried. "When is it?"
"August 13," I said.
"When can I come down?" She really did sound happy. "I go to a hotel."
"Whenever you want." I would have offered for her to stay at the Cullen's, but they would have to put up with the human charade for quite a while. I didn't want them to have to go through that.
"Ok, Bella, I will come out as soon as I can!" she bubbled. "And, honey, are you sure you're making the right decision about all of this?" she said again.
"Yes."
She laughed. "Well, that's good enough for me! I love you, honey!"
"I love you too," I said happily and hung up. This whole 'telling the parents' thing worked out better than I thought it would. I turned to hand Edward the phone, but he sat as still as a statue. His nose was wrinkled in disgust. I looked at him questioningly.
Finally, he turned to look at me and said, "Jacob." Just then, the doorbell rang.
I jumped up and yelled, "Oh my God!" I ran down the stairs with Edward keeping up with me easily, making sure that I didn't trip and bust my head open. I was surprised that I didn't.
I got to the front door and threw it open, and there was my best friend, Jacob Black. He looked at Edward, who still had his nose wrinkled, and smiled apologetically.
"Jacob!" I yelled as I flung my arms around his neck and squeezed him as tight as I could. I'm sure that he didn't even feel it.
But something was different about him. He looked different. He looked... genuinely happy. "Hey, Bella," he said in that familiar husky voice.
"I was so worried!" I cried.
"I'm sorry about that," he said with a smile. "But I have some great news."
Oh my GOSH!!! I just found out! THEY CASTED EDWARD IN THE MOVIE! In case you havent heard, its Robert Pattinson. If you don't know who that is, its the guy who played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter. I have to be honest, I really don't think that he is the best choice, and he better be good at hiding that accent (he's British). Grrr... grrr... He's ok and everything I just don't think that he's Edward material. But I guess we will just have to wait for the movie to find out exactly how good he really is. Grrr... grrr...
Ok enough of my ranting. Tell me what you think of my fanfiction, and also, give me your opinion on Robert Pattinson for Edward. It's final so if you don't like it, you will just have to get used to it. Grrr... R & R!!!
