Chapter 7

Karlie POV

"Are you sure they're coming?" I asked while squeezing Edward's hand.

"I'm sure," Elizabeth said, pulling out her cell phone and began to click hesistantly as if she was checking her text messages. After a while she nodded her confirmation. Elizabeth's dirty blonde hair fell into her face and she blew it away, "I think I need a haircut."

"So, this is going to be like a family reunion! One day we'll all be related though…" Alice trailed off.

We all stared at her before I looked towards the door as there was a knock, "Can I go hide in a corner?"

"No, Kar, no corners," Elizabeth said walking over to the door.

I sunk down in the couch as it opened and our parents glanced back at Deidra's car and mine before looking towards where Deidra and I were sinking down.

"Deidra! Karlie! What are you doing here? We specifically said no leaving the house under any circumstances!" Mom yelled.

"You're the confident one," Deidra muttered.

I glanced at her before looking towards our terrifying, fuming mother, "Well, Elizabeth said we should come over and yeah. Please don't ground me! I love my car!"

Edward chuckled and I smacked his arm, "Shut it, Super Ed!"

Alice, Deidra, Elizabeth, Greg and Seth started laughing and our parents raised eyebrows.

"And who are they?" Dad ushered to Alice, Edward and Seth.

Deidra and I gulped, "Oldest first," she grinned.

I grabbed Edward's hand and led him over to Mom and Dad, "This is Edward and he's kind of my boyfriend."

"Are you in college?" Dad asked.

"No, I want to go to Harvard though," Edward said, definitely not nervous at all.

"I like him already," Mom smiled.

"Happy dance, happy dance" I thought.

After the whole introduction it was Deidra's turn to introduce Seth.

"I can't believe he didn't freak out on us," I stated as Edward and I were packing up.

"He seems nice, I think he'll get along with Carlisle," Edward mused.

"I hope he'll get along with Carlisle."

Edward nodded, "Thankfully the Advil's working. I wouldn't want to explain my hangover."

"Yes, if either of them found out you had been previously drunk; you and Seth would get restraining orders."

Edward raised an eyebrow, "Seriously?"

I nodded and grabbed my suitcase, "Let's go put these in the cars."

We walked downstairs to see Elizabeth and Greg talking to Mom and Dad. I rolled my eyes and went out to my Jaguar and set my suitcase in the backseat. Edward put his in the trunk of his Volvo.

"I'll be riding with Deidra for the trip back," Seth stated while putting his stuff in Deidra's trunk.

"I'm glad they took the news well," Deidra sighed as she tossed her stuff with Seth's.

"I know! I wonder why they took it well. Neither of them liked Brandon at all."

"Who?" Edward asked.

"My ex," I muttered.

"I wonder why?" Deidra asked sarcastically, "He was a bad influence, like always drinking and treating you like a puppy."

"Good point," I shrugged.

Mom walked out humming Journey and we all looked at her, "No, Journey!" I scolded.

"If you are going to be driving behind us, you will have to endure it."

I whimpered and smirked, "Fine then, being I'll be the only one in my car, I'll blast H.I.M. or Slipknot or Breaking Benjamin or Avenged Sevenfold!"

"You wouldn't! You know I do not respect those heavy metal bands!"

"But I do."

"I don't want to listen to it," Dad groaned as he walked outside followed by Alice.

I rolled my eyes before getting into the driver's seat of my car. Edward said something to Alice before getting into the passenger seat of my car and Alice got into the driver's seat of his Volvo. I noticed her Porsche wasn't here so she must have gotten a cab.

Deidra and Seth got in her car while Dad and Mom got into Dad's Lamborghini. Why did he have to rub it in my face that he had such a beautiful car?

"So, what was that about blasting loud music?" Edward asked as I sped off.

I shrugged, "Fine, I'll blast something that won't annoy them…oh screw it, I'll do it anyway." I turned on my radio and turned up the volume as a catchy song came on. I eventually began humming along.

"You know this song?" Edward asked with a grin.

"Duh, it's awesome!" I turned it up and started singing along.

Deidra Point of View

"Don't eat so much, you might get diabetes," I stated, "Diabetes is bad."

Seth stared at me like I was crazy, "I won't get diabetes. I'm not even eating right now, Deidra."

"I wonder what our children look like…" I trailed off.

"Wait…what?" Seth shrieked.

"Lilah or for a boy, I was thinking Kirby."

"You're crazy."

Karlie Point of View

"To the Brooklyn Bridge," I said in a sing-song voice.

I hummed to myself as we drove up to the bridge. Immediately I wished time had stopped to avoid the accident that was starting to happen.

A driver came out of nowhere, smashing into Dad's Lamborghini and sending them over the side of the bridge. I could somehow hear Deidra scream from behind me before I screamed myself. Edward's face showed complete shock. I could already feel tears running down my cheeks as I got out of my car, ran over to the side of the bridge, and looked over in time to see the black Lamborghini sink under the water.

Deidra, Alice, Seth and Edward ran up beside me and Edward pulled out his phone as more people gathered around.

"Not the Lambo," I sobbed.

Deidra glared at me, "Our parents might be dead and all you care about is the stupid Lamborghini!"

"Look, I'm trying to take this situation lighter, so don't yell at me!"

Deidra looked over the side, wiped away her tears, sat down and sobbed into her knees. I sighed, blinked away my tears and looked up as police cars, fire engines and ambulances drove onto the bridge. They blocked off the entrances and I glanced at Alice as she hugged me, "Save it, Deidra needs the hug more than me."

She looked at me before leaning besides Deidra and began hugging her. Seth soon joined.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Edward asked.

I glared at him, "I'm perfectly fine! Everybody has to die sometime," I sang quietly.

"Why are you quoting Avenged Sevenfold while your parents are at the bottom of a river?"

"She doesn't handle things like normal people," Deidra stated, "She lets it out in sarcasm and bitchiness."

I smiled before turning to the cop and giving him all the info about our parents.

I sat on the hood of my car as they raised the Lamborghini out of the river and onto a cleared space. I looked out of the ground as they put Dad on a stretcher; he was unconscious, but would hopefully live. Mom on the other hand, well I was glad she approved of Edward. I sauntered over to the Lamborghini; it wasn't in too bad of shape.

"Look at yourself! All you do care about is the Lambo! What if there's a will or something? At least show some feeling!" My conscious yelled at me and I rolled my eyes.

"What make is it?" one of the cops asked to another, ignoring me.

"Gallardo Superleggera," I said and they looked at me, "Do you think they could get this fixed?"

"Most likely," the taller cop said. I nodded and ran my hand over the front before walking back to the others. I could feel tears building up but I wiped them away and I sighed.

"Who will walk me down the aisle now?" I randomly thought and smacked my head, "Dad's gonna live, don't worry," I muttered to myself.

"Deidra, Karlie?" The EMT asked and Deidra and I rushed over to him, hopes high.

"I'm sorry," he muttered and both of our faces fell before Deidra hugged me and sobbed into my shoulder. I bit my lip, trying not to break out sobbing, not now.

"He mentioned something about a will, not where though."

"Will?" I asked. A will meant money, which meant a happy Karlie. An extremely selfish Karlie who was acting immaturely.

"It would probably be smart to contact all of your family to tell them about their losses," another cop mentioned, I nodded.

I stared at the wall after calling every one of our family and family friends in my mom's address book. Alice, Edward and Seth had gone back to their houses leaving Deidra in her room and me in my current position.

"They are really gone, just me and Deidra on our own." I thought and continued staring at the blank TV.

"Well I better make funeral arrangements," I said, grabbed a phone book and began calling around. The bodies were at the morgue but would be moved to caskets.

"How are you doing?" I asked Deidra as I leaned against her door frame.

"Better. I've been thinking that we should start looking for that will. It has to be in this house," she stated.

"I'll call Edward and Seth, maybe they can bring reinforcements to help," I smirked.

"You do that, oh emotionless one."

I smiled sarcastically before heading to my room and called Edward, "Hey, Deidra was thinking we should start looking for that will, want to help?"

"Sure, want me to bring Emmett and Alice?" Edward asked.

"Jasper and Rosalie too, please," I chuckled.

"Okay, see you."

I hung up and called Seth, "Hola, we are searching for the will, so can you and your crazy buddies come over to help?"

"Sure, when?"

"Uh right now would be nice."

"Okay, I'll be over soon!" With that conformation I hung up and tossed my phone onto my bed.

"Okay, peoples, we will find that will even if it means turning this whole house upside-down!" I stated walking in front of everyone who had gathered which was Alice, Edward, Emmett, Seth, Rosalie, Jasper, Jacob, Quil, Embry, and Leah. Deidra stood between Seth and Rosalie and I sighed, "Any questions?"

Embry raised his hand, "Yes?" I asked.

"Can I go pee real fast?"

"Fine." He hurried down the hall to the bathroom and I smirked, "Let's go!" We all split up and I went into Dad's office, looking through books.

"Find anything?" Deidra asked, looking underneath the recliner in the corner.

"Nope."

"It has been two hours. I really don't think we're going to find anything," Rosalie stated as she collapsed onto the recliner as Deidra moved on.

"Ah!" She yelled as she tripped and fell back against the bookshelf causing it to move and reveal a safe.

"Holy shit!" I yelled, stepping over Deidra and examining the safe, "This looks pretty new!"

Everyone ran into the office, "I heard a scream then a 'holy shit'," Seth exclaimed, looking at Deidra who was lying on the floor while I was trying to open the safe.

"Stupid, little motherfucker! Give me the will!" I growled kicking the safe before Edward grabbed my waist and pulled me back and saying, "Relax."

He walked over to the safe, "Okay, it looks like you need to enter a number code. It has 6 digits, which could be anything. Any ideas?"

We all looked at him while shaking our heads, "Wait, what's your birthday?"

"October 31st, 1992," I nodded.

"10...31...92," he muttered, entering the numbers in, pulling the latch and opening it.

I scrambled over him, grabbed the folded paper and glanced over it:

If death has occurred to both your mother and I, then either one of you has found this. Now, I of course I know Karlie well enough to know you would like the Lamborghini, which you may have.

I squealed before continuing reading the rest out loud:

Deidra, you get the deed to the house, being you are the more responsible one. Sorry Karlie, but I am granting you both one million dollars which are already in your bank accounts, if you haven't found that out by now. I want to say to spend your money wisely, live happy lives and don't do anything reckless or illegal.

Love, Dad.

I flipped it over and sighed, "One million dollars," I sighed with a large grin.

"The deed to the house is mine," Deidra grinned from where she still laid on the floor.

"Well, to the bank!" I headed towards the door and Deidra grabbed my foot causing me to fall through everybody and hit the computer chair.

"Nu uh, we have to spend that money wisely," she scolded

"Fine, how should we spend it?"

"I'll think about it."

And with that, our new lives were just about to begin.
