I am super bored right now and my sisters keep annoying me so I might as well update again, right after I posted it. I was actually thinking about how I should continue the story from where I left off so I guess I got the place, review please.
"Alice, get up." I heard a voice say.
I grumbled a few incoherent words and tried to go back to sleep, no one should bother me during sleep time. No one at all.
I felt a nudge at my right side, "Get up." the voice said again.
Suddenly, I felt something wet splash onto me and I screamed loudly. I shot up with my eyes wide open to see Edward standing at the edge of my bed with a large bucket, that was like something that only happened in movies.
"Are you serious?!" I shrieked, glaring at him.
Edward merely shrugged, "It was the only way to get you up. Dad wants to talk with us, now." he said, dropping the bucket and running out quickly.
My eyebrows raised in surprised, dad wants to talk to us? About what?
Quickly, I got up and sighed in relief when I saw that the water hadn't washed off the make-up completely. If it had...that would've been bad.
Looking for my make-up bag, I began to let my mind wander and stared at the water faucets anxiously. Cold water would definitely clear my mind quickly.
Just as I reached to turn the water on, Edward yelled loudly, "Alice! Will you hurry up?" he called.
I growled and covered my bruise, running out my bedroom door and downstairs. Dad was standing in the doorway, his brown eyes were staring up at me and a sad smile etched across his weary face.
Sadness shot at my heart, but I ignored it.
"Yeah?" I asked, sitting on the bottom step besides Edward.
Dad sighed and scratched his head, "We have a new family moving into the neighborhood next week and I would like for you two to show the two children around. Their parents said they were about your age." he explained.
A grin blew up on my face, "New neighbors? You know what this means, right Edward?!" I asked as excitement pulsed through me.
"Oh dear." Edward squeecked out.
I squealed, "Shopping!" I shouted.
Dad chuckled and put his jacket on, "I'm sure you will make them feel welcomed." he said. With that, dad left and we were left alone for another two hours. I stretched, "What should we do since you woke me up at such an ungodly hour?" I asked Edward.
He shrugged, "I don't know but I'm going to bed." he mumbled.
In shock, I watched as my brother stood up and climbed up the stairs towards his room. Edward wasn't one for sleep, but I guess he's been really tired since he works at the library and all now.
Two whole hours to myself.
I stood up and skipped into the kitchen, grabbing an apple and trying to find my UGGs. I put them by the backdoor yesterday when I came home, where'd they go? Finally, I found them in the hall closet and slipped them on.
"Time for the Alice Adeventures." I cheered, walking out the backdoor.
The cold attacked me as soon as I stepped foot outside, never in my life have I been so cold that I felt my bones shaking in my skin. Choosing to ignore it, I walked down the street and towards the deli.
Skipping inside, the owner quickly noticed me and smiled.
"Alice, I haven't seen you in such a long time." the owner, Billy Black exaggerated.
I smiled and gave him a quick hug, "I know. I'm sorry I haven't been bugging you lately, I've been busy with tests and such." I apologized.
He quickly shook his head, "Don't apologize for silly things like that." he scolded.
Billy was like my father, he was always watching out for me and saying I was his Italian daughter that he secretly had awhile ago. What he didn't know was that his son, Jacob hated me for taking James away from him.
Jacob and James were best friends, but sadly James ignored him after he got with me two years back.
"So what do you want for breakfast, honey?" Billy asked, rolling himself behind the counter. I sadly sighed, Billy was in an accident a few years back that paralyzed him from the waist down. I felt bad for him, but he hated it when people felt pity for him so I quickly cheered up for him.
I tapped my chin in thought, "How about...a cheese omelet." I said.
He laughed, "You and eggs! You have always loved them, even when you were a little girl who absolutely hated boys." he said.
A blush swept acrossed my cheeks and he snickered, beginning to make the omelet for me and forcing me to take a seat at one of the tables. He was too nice to me.
The bell by the door rang slightly and I turned to Jacob standing there with three large boxes, his legs were shaking so I stood and ran over. "Would you like some help?" I asked, going to take one.
"No!" he snapped, wabbling into the kitchen.
I just stood there and looked down at my feet, a tear slipping down my bruised cheek. It isn't my fault that James decided to ignore him, it wasn't me who told James to order Jacob out of his life and I would never do anything like that to anyone.
Billy wheeled himself out of the kitchen and looked up at me with a brown bag, "What's wrong with you and Jake?" he asked.
I quickly took the bag and shrugged, "I don't know. I'll see you later, I gotta go." I said sadly.
He just smiled, "Be sure to visit." he said.
Nodding, I ran out of the deli and turned back to see Jacob watching me hatefully. It wasn't me so why couldn't he just get that through his thick head? He made me so angry at times, made me feel like punching a wall really hard.
Something warm slid down my cheek and I reached up to take a tear that had fallen from my eye, I just stared it until it slid down my finger and onto the ground.
He made me feel like crying.
I walked the rest of the way home, the brown bag clutched to my chest as though someone was going to come up behind me and steal it. I know it was rediculous, but I was so hungry and I just wanted to hold something.
My keys jingled slightly as I unlocked the front door, walking in, and closing it quietly behind me. Edward as sitting in the kitchen with a cup of coffee held in his two hands, his eyes droopy as he sipped hungrily.
"Home." I called, walking into the kitchen.
He nodded, "Where'd you go?" he asked.
I set my paper bag down and slid out the warm dish, "Black's deli." I answered happily. He laughed, "Of course." he said. Taking a spoon, I put some of the omelet into my mouth and moaned at the delicious taste.
"Yummy." I said with my mouth full.
Edward chuckled, "Only you." he murmured.
I didn't know what he meant by that, sometimes he said these things that sounded like complete bull shit or random riddles. He was just weird like that and never could tell his feelings straight out, he got that from dad.
He cursed under his breath and put the cup into the sink, "I need to go pick up Bella." he said.
Of course, Bella and Edward ride to school together everyday so it wasn't anything new or something strange.
"Ok, tell her to make sure she brings her cell phone and house keys because we're going to the mall today." I said, smirking.
He nodded and ran out, a few minutes later I heard the car turn on and could hear it smoothly rolling out of the driveway.
Leaning forward on the counter, I sighed and stared out the window. "One day, I want someone to pick me up from my house to go to school or work. That would be perfect and so romantic, why doesn't James do that?" I whispered quietly and lowly.
I scoffed, "James doesn't do anything romantic or kind at all." I mumbled.
Ending it there for now because I can barely see because I'm so tired, but for some reason I can't sleep at all. Please read and review, tell your friends!
Thank you.
