Chapter
6
Karlie POV
I yawned as I rolled over
and opened my eyes to see the glass of water and Advil I left out for
Edward. I looked over my shoulder to see Edward was still passed out
before crawled out of the warm bed. I pulled my hair into a messy
ponytail and stepped out into the hall to hear sobbing from the
bathroom across from me.
"Deidra?" I asked when I opened the
door to see her holding a knife to her wrist where there was already
marks there. I grabbed the knife, "What the hell are you
doing?"
"What does it look like?!" She said before leaning
back against the bathtub. I kicked the door closed and sat across
from her, while setting the knife down, "You want to explain to me
why you are cutting yourself? Just because people say it's cool,
doesn't mean it is."
"I'm not trying to be cool, I could
care less about that," she mumbled and wiped a tear away, "Okay,
you see, the whole sex/virgin thing that's been going on is a
touchy subject for me."
I raised an eyebrow, "Why?"
She
looked down at her hands, "Well, I had this boyfriend named Chuck…I
didn't tell you about him."
I nodded and waved my hand for her
to continue, "This could end up ugly," I told myself.
"Well…I
really liked him and I didn't really no he only wanted to get in my
pants. I don't want to go into really deep details but he almost
raped me," she mumbled the last line. My mouth fell open a little
bit and bit my lip trying to hold back the tears that were
threatening to pour.
"Deidra, I'm so sorry…I…I didn't
know," I stuttered.
"I know, but that's why I didn't tell
you about him."
"Well, I probably would have kicked his ass
and bashed his head open," I smirked and her lips twitched hiding
back a smile. I picked the knife back up and turned it towards her,
"You do anything like that again, I will not stop myself from
slapping you."
"What the-" Seth said and stared wide-eyed at
me as I held the knife towards Deidra.
"This isn't what it
looks like," Deidra and I said at the same time.
"Well,
knowing her it could be," he said, pointing at me. I stood up and
held the knife at his chin, "Watch it."
I
walked back into the guest bedroom after putting the knife back in
the kitchen. Edward had his head hidden under all the pillows and his
hand was searching for the water and Advil.
"You might want to
move over a few more inches," I stated and he looked up from under
the pillows before hiding from the light. I walked over to the
window, shut the curtains and turned off the light, "Thanks," he
muttered before grabbing the Advil and the water and chugging it
down. He ran a hand through his bronze hair, "Why is it that I
always have the worst hangover?"
"'Cause payback's a bitch
and I wasn't the one who got drunk."
He raised an eyebrow and
I kissed his cheek, "Now go back to sleep!" I pushed him back
against the pillow mound he had made from hiding from the light. He
grabbed my hand and pulled me down with him, I giggled as he started
tickling my sides.
Deidra POV
"Go
tell Super Ed and Karlie breakfast is ready," Elizabeth said with a
small giggle. I hopped up the stairs before turning the corner and
walked towards their bedroom. I opened the bedroom door, "Breakfast
is…holy crap," I said, before covering my eyes from not having to
see my sister making out with Edward who didn't even have a shirt
on…well I've already seen him in only boxers…but still, ew.
"Ah, Deidra, you could've knocked," Karlie said, before
pushing Edward off of her.
A frown appeared on his face but
disappeared, "As I was saying, breakfast is ready."
Ugh, now
I'll have that image in my head, "Thanks, Kar!"
"Welcome!"
She yelled back and Edward groaned, "No yelling."
I rubbed my
eyes and walked down the stairs, "I am forever scarred."
Seth
looked at me, "What?"
"Nothing," I said shaking my head.
Elizabeth set down three more plates with eggs, bacon and toast.
Edward and Karlie walked down the stairs hand in hand Karlie ran her
hand across her throat while cocking her head to the side and
sticking her tongue out…in other words I better shut up or I was
dead. Edward glanced at her and she rolled her eyes. They sat down
across from me and Seth while Elizabeth sat at the head of the table,
"Why is it so quiet?" Seth asked. Karlie glared at me from under
her eyelashes and took a bite of bacon, "No reason, it's just we
have nothing to talk about."
After a couple
more minutes of silence and Seth wondering what happened, there was a
loud knock on the door.
"I'll get it!" Elizabeth announced
pushing away from the table and answering the door, "Hey, look, I
don't want any cookies." We all looked towards the door to see a
fuming Alice and Edward sunk down in his chair.
"I'm not a
girl scout!" Alice yelled, pushing Elizabeth away and stomping
towards us.
"Hey, I didn't say you can come in! Who are you?"
Elizabeth yelled but Alice ignored her and kept a beeline straight
towards her brother.
"Edward Anthony Cullen! What the hell is
your problem?!"
I opened my phone and started playing 'Gives
You Hell', Edward and Alice glared at me and I gave a small smile.
"Very funny, Kar," Alice growled while wrapping her tiny
hands around Edward's neck.
"Ah, no choking my hottie!"
Karlie screamed while trying to pull Alice's hands off Edward's
neck. I couldn't help but start laughing and Seth joined in, the
three glared at us but we continued laughing.
"I'm gonna go
watch TV," Elizabeth stated, shaking her head and walking into the
living room.
Karlie POV
"I'm
going to go with her," Deidra announced and I glanced at Seth who
followed.
"Oh 'The
Notebook',
I love that movie," Deidra yelled and I rolled my eyes, romances
are so cheesy.
"Now, where was I? Oh yeah, mom was freaking
out!" Alice yelled going back to strangling Edward.
"Alice,
let him go!" I tugged on her hands, "He was just worried about
me!"
"Shut up!" Deidra and Elizabeth screamed.
Seth
groaned, "Can we please watch another movie?!"
"No!"
Deidra hit his arm and continued staring at the screen.
"Oh,
did I mention Greg is coming?" Elizabeth said.
"No," Deidra
groaned the same time I squealed, "Yes!"
"Who?" Edward,
Seth and Alice asked…did I see a tang of jealousy in Edward's
eyes?
"Our cousin," I said more enthusiastically then Deidra.
"And Travis and his family," Elizabeth also said causing me
to groan and Deidra to squeal.
Seth, Edward, and Alice continued
staring at us, "Our other cousin!"
"He's married with…two
kids," Deidra stated.
"I hate kids," I sniffed and ran my
finger down my cheek pretending to cry, "Unless they were my own,
then I'd love them!"
Alice glanced at Edward and he rolled his
eyes, "I better not become an aunt soon."
"Well, from what I
saw, you might," Deidra grinned and I glared at her.
"Our
clothes were on so shut the hell up!" I screamed and quickly
covered my mouth.
Alice, Elizabeth and Seth raised their eyebrows,
"Anywho-" Elizabeth started to say before there was a knock on
the door and it opened revealing Greg holding a briefcase.
"Greg!"
I screamed before running over to him and jumping onto him. He
stumbled back and dropped the briefcase, "Karlie…what are you
doing here?"
"Long story," I muttered before hopping back on
to the ground as Greg ran his hand through his shaggy brown hair, "I
see…and Deidra?" He muttered her name. I rolled my eyes, grabbed
his hand and led him to the living room, "Okay, Greg, this
is…Edward, my boyfriend."
His big brother mode kicked and he
stared with his dark brown eyes into Edward's emerald eyes.
"How
old are you?" Greg asked.
"Eighteen."
"What's your
last name?"
"Cullen."
"Parent's jobs?"
"My
dad's a doctor and my mom works on interior design."
I sighed
and kicked Greg over, "Leave him alone!"
"Fine, fine you're
good on my standards, good luck with her dad though."
"Dad,"
Deidra and I muttered and I shuddered, "Thanks for the nightmares
Greg."
"Welcome," he grinned before looking at Seth, "And
you are?"
"Deidra's boyfriend."
He looked him over
before glancing at me with a confused look in his eyes and nodded and
shrugged.
"Stop it with your silent questions, it's like you
can read each others' minds," Deidra complained.
"I'm
sorry, am I annoying you?" Greg asked.
Alice made the perfect
time to intrude, "Hi, I'm Alice, Edward's little and only
sister. I will also be your cousin-in-law someday!"
Greg shook
her hand slowly as Edward and I smacked our heads with our hands.
"Oh crap…I forgot to mention something," Elizabeth
said.
"What?" I asked.
"Our parents were supposed to have
a short visit." She smiled sheepishly as my eye twitched.
"What
are your parent's names?" Alice asked, curiously.
"Tiffany
and David," Deidra, Elizabeth and I said at the same time.
We
looked at each other then I glanced at Greg, "I think you were
right about my dad…I have no idea how he's going to react about
his sweet, little angels having boyfriends."
