I'm back! I was having a tough time there for a couple of days so I want to first of all say sorry. Second of all I want to say thank you guys so much! You were so helpful and understanding of my writers block. I understand that some of you guys are writers too so you know how I felt and how frustrating it can be. I received some great suggestions, but I would like to thank FirenIcewillSuffice. You gave me the main idea of my new plot outline so thank you! Next I'd like the thank MeganAmberCullen! She has been so supportive and become my new friend lol! Anyways, I have outline the rest of the story so there should be no more long writers block patches. Enjoy the real Chapter 11!
Disclaimer: Maybe if I save a ton of money I can buy it, but that will take a really long time. As for now, I still don't own Twilight
Chapter 11
BPOV
Summer was almost over. I couldn't believe how time flies like that. I had been a vampire for almost three months.
Looking back on the summer, I realized how quickly things changed, and how different everything was.
I had now become a member of the family I was so curious about on my first day in Forks. People would look at me like that. It was a weird feeling.
When you think about it, living for eternity. What a crazy thought.
You'll be around when the sun burns out; you'll be around when species die off. You'll be around the day they discover so many things that we can't even dream about right now.
To be honest, I'm petrified. I have no idea what to expect. My whole life was put into perspective after becoming a vampire.
When you can live forever, what do you live for?
I needed something to keep myself busy. I was not even going to consider going to high school again.
I just came out of it; there was no way I'm going back that quick. High school is to be endured not enjoyed.
I thought about all night long. I thought about it while I sat in Edward's arms, just listening to a beautiful CD he had just bought.
He must have sensed I was thinking about something important or he would know what I was thinking about.
Now, I generally keep my mind open to him when I'm not thinking about important stuff. It also helps me tame the six other voices in my head.
How can you think properly when you have six other people's thoughts in your head?
I give Edward major credit because if he wasn't there to share the load with me, I think I might have gone crazy.
I turned around in Edward's arms and faced him.
"Edward?" I obviously would have said more, but how the heck was I going to say this without getting a big "I told you so" from Edward?
"Yes love?"
"I've been thinking a lot about the summer and my change and...eternity."
I had a serious look on my face and he clued in that this was important.
He smiled "Eternity is an awfully long time when you think about it isn't it?"
I nodded "Yes it is. And it scares me how long it is"
"Bella, don't be afraid. You and I will always be together. You'll get used to the fact that were both going to live forever. It might be an overwhelming thought right now, but as long as you don't wallow in it, it'll pass."
He pulled me into a tight hug and I squeezed him back.
He never ceased to make me feel better at all times.
I sat back and looked him deep in the eyes. "Since forever is such a long time, I was thinking we might need to do something to occupy ourselves. You know, to make time pass quicker than just sitting around here for the rest of our lives."
"I agree. But please you tell me you don't want to go back to high school. I've had enough high schools to last me a century"
I laughed "No, believe me no high schools for either of us for at least ten years! I've had enough high school for a long time and I only went once."
"Lucky you"
We both smiled and I was about to tell him what I wanted to do when Alice burst through the door.
"Alice! Doesn't anyone in this house ever bother to knock anymore?"
She grinned "Barging in like that is way more fun than knocking and waiting for you slow pokes to open the door. Oh, and by the way Bella, I totally love that plan! Jasper and I want to come with you guys, it's gonna be so much fun!" She squealed.
"Alice, will you calm down! I haven't even told Edward where I want to go yet. How do you even know he's going to agree to it?"
"Duh Bella, I'm psychic not stupid."
Oh right she had a vision. She is going to ruin every surprise for the rest of, well, eternity. There's that word again.
"Alice, we'll come talk to you once I tell Edward what's going on, okay?"
"Fine" she huffed and stomped out of our room slamming the door behind her.
"Now as I was saying..." Edward has an amused expression on his face.
I groaned I knew that look "Edward, please don't tell me you read her mind and you know what I was going to say! I wanted it to be a surprise!"
He chuckled "No unfortunately Alice was too busy translating Romeo and Juliet into Latin to reveal what she saw in her vision."
I sighed "Okay good. Will you pay attention so I can tell you what I was going to say?"
I was beginning to get extremely frustrated. I just wanted to tell him and get it off my chest.
"Alright Bella, talk to me"
"Okay so as I was saying, we need something to occupy some time, so I was thinking maybe we could go to university. You know somewhere not far from here, where we both got accepted. Like maybe the University of Alaska."
Edward's face lit up. It reminded me of the look on his face when I finally agreed to marry him.
"Bella! That's an amazing idea! I would love to go to university! I'm glad you're taking your education seriously."
I laughed "Me too Edward. And by the sounds of it, Alice and Jasper want to come too."
I was happy that he didn't try to say I told you so. He always wanted me to go to university, and now I was going, with him. As long as he was there, I would be okay for a couple of years.
Edward still had a big smile on his face as he hugged me and pulled me into a passionate lip lock.
We were still kissing and making our way towards the bed when Emmett burst through the door.
Edward and I jumped apart as Emmett stood there smirking.
I stomped my foot "Damn it Emmett! You know there's this thing called knocking that really comes in handy at times right about now."
Emmett laughed and I saw Edward suppressing a smile.
Emmett wrapped me in a huge hug. "I'm sorry Bella. I guess I have to get used to knocking when we all go to UNIVERSITY!"
He let go of me and Edward and I burst into laughter as Emmett ripped off his sweater to reveal a t-shirt that read University of Alaska Anchorage in bright gold letters.
I could never stay mad at Emmett; it was too hard when he made you laugh every time he was in the room.
Rosalie was standing in the doorway trying to look pissed off at Emmett but she couldn't help bursting into laughter with the rest of us.
Once we all stopped laughing I hugged Emmett. "I forgive you Emmett. It's pretty much impossible to stay mad at you when you do something like that."
Emmett grinned devilishly as I hugged Rose. "So I take it you guys are joining us at university?"
Rose smiled and nodded "Of course Bella. We can't pass up the opportunity to go to school again."
I laughed; I don't know how they stood so much school. There was only so much school you could take in a lifetime before exploding.
Edward kissed me hair "Speaking of university, I should go speak to Carlisle so he can arrange tuition, admission for those four, and living arrangements."
I nodded "Alright, I guess I'll see you later."
Edward smiled at me before walking out of the room.
"Edward wait!"
He poked his head back in the room. "Yes love?"
"I'm only going on one exception."
"You name it"
"Were taking my car. AND I get to drive!"
Emmett, Rosalie, and Edward laughed "Of course Bella, anything you want."
I was a bit speechless. "Jeez, if I had known you were going to cave that easily I would have asked for other stuff too" I grumbled.
Rosalie snorted as Emmett and Edward started laughing. She looked at me with pity "Its okay Bella, you'll get better at asking for what you want."
I had to smile. Rosalie was acting more like a sister to me every day.
Alice ran in and with a huge grin on her face.
"Guys, I had a vision of our house near campus, its freaking amazing! Carlisle and Esme are going to do such a good job prepping it for us."
I went over and hugged Alice. I pulled Rosalie into it so it was all three of us.
We were giggling as we started to plan leaving and packing. Alice screamed at me and Rose "OH! WE ARE SO GOING SHOPPING TOMORROW!"
I groaned "NO! Alice please!"
Emmett slung an arm around my shoulders "Don't even bother trying to fight it the inevitable Bella. It's already a done deal. Look at them, it's two against one. I'm sure if they wanted to they could wrestle you in the car by force."
I glared back at him "Wow, Emmett inevitable! That's a big word for you!" I teased.
Emmett looked back at me with an expression of mock hurt. "Ouch Bella, that hurt. You don't insult family like that."
I smiled as he pulled me into yet another big hug.
His booming voice could probably be heard in Canada "WHO CARES? WERE GOING TO UNIVERSITY!"
Yay! I couldn't resist putting the movie catch phrase at the beginning. (In case you didn't clue in it's the part that says "When you can live forever, what do you live for?") Also, Stephenie's own words "High school isn't supposed to be enjoyed. It is to be endured. College is fun!" So what did you guys think of my new plot? Obviously this isn't it and I have a few surprises up my sleeve, but please tell me what you think. Since I no longer have writers block, a new chapter should be up on Sunday. Please Review!
Ametz :)
