Chapter 2 Halloween

As you know, I would do anything to plant my lips against Edward's. And I will. No doubt about it. It was simple, get through Renesmee and Bella, then blame it on someone else. Perfect plan. My daydreaming was interrupted by Isabella's voice.

"Hello!" Her voice sounded like bells as she entered the room. "Did you get the candy?"

"We don't eat," I reminded her coldly.

She giggled.

"I know, silly. Tonight's Halloween! And again, did you get the candy?"

"No."

"That was your job this year! My job was the make the costumes." She folded her arms. "Can you follow a single tradition?"

I groaned and looked around in my closet. I found a bag of 100 Grand bars at the bottom. I tossed them at my sister.

"Happy?" I asked.

She nodded.

"I decided we should dress up as fairies this year," she smiled.

I stared at her, horrified. What the heck was she thinking?! Hello, evil vampire!

Isabella must have noticed I was horrified at the decision, because she said, "I'm going to be the Cherry Fairy and you will be the Dark Fairy."

I groaned. I didn't want to be any fairy, even a wicked one.

"Olivia, you can go to a Halloween party as a fairy for one night. Next year you get to make the costumes," she reminded. "We'll be goblins, if you like."

Eventually I agreed. By ten-thirty, the younger trick-or-treaters had gone and Kimberly was taking over for the night. Isabella forced me into the fairy costume and applied dark makeup on me.

At eleven, we were in Edward's Volvo, Bella and Edward in front, and Isabella, Renesmee, and I in the back.

"Who's idea was this?" I demanded.

"Alice's, of course," Edward answered, rolling his eyes. Figures, "She's going as a diva, Jasper's a gangster, Alice forced Rosalie into a ghost costume, and Emmett is Dracula."

"That's not hard to believe," Isabella murmured. "And what are you three supposed to be?"

"I'm Frankenstein, Bella's the bride of Frankenstein, and Nessie is a half angel, half devil," Edward replied.

Bella and Edward's eyes met.

"I wouldn't be anything in a costume, unless I got to be your partner," she murmured. Their lips met.

I gagged.

At the party held in the school gym, people in costumes crept around everywhere. Autumn Sizzles (as a zombie) begged Edward to dance with her. As Edward took her hand, he looked over his head and stared at Bella with pleading eyes. Jasper showed off his moves he had been practicing, Alice twirled around in the middle of the gym, Renesmee danced with Jacob Black (come on, the kid was dressed as a werewolf), and Emmett and Rosalie did spitballs at other dancers (actually, Emmett was doing this as Rosalie watched). Everyone seemed to be having a good time.

At midnight, Edward was taking a break from dancing with Bella. Bella told him she was going to talk to some of her friends. This was my moment to do what I wanted to. I walked slowly towards Edward.

"Hey, Edward," I smiled sweetly.

"Uh, hi," he answered.

I placed myself on his lap and stroked his cheek. I moved my lips slowly towards his. As they were nearly together, I felt a shove throw me back. Bella.

I looked up to find Edward's furious face and Bella's upset.

"How dare you!" Edward growled.

I felt mad and sad at the same time. I rose to my feet and charged towards Edward's mate. I shoved her into the punch table. Unfortunately, Edward grabbed her in time.

"Olivia Victoria Morse," he snarled. "What on earth do you think your doing?"

"Fighting for love," I screamed. I heard Emmett's laugh behind me.

"Told you, Eddie. Not one girl can take their eyes off of you," Emmet chortled.

The sadness dwelled inside of me. I grabbed my purse and sprinted home.

I didn't stop until I was in my bedroom. I threw off the costume and kicked off my sneakers. I threw it all out the window. I stared into the face of Edward Cullen on the wall. My eyes never left his for the whole night.

Dawn broke threw my window. I tilted my head. I walked to my closet and selected a black sleeveless shirt and ripped khakis. Then I realized, maybe Bella's looks were the thing Edward had fallen in love with. I straightened my hair a little and pulled on a white button down shirt. On my legs were a pair of denim jeans I had found in Isabella's room.

I jumped down my balcony, as usual, and met Isabella at the front door. She stared at my outfit and shrugged. We didn't race that day. Isabella drove us in Kimberly's Saturn convertible.

I headed towards my Calculus room. I took my usual seat in the corner of the room, which was by Edward. But he didn't show up. As lunch, Isabella and I sat with the rest of the Cullens, besides Edward, Bella, and Renesmee.

"Where are Edward and Bella?" Isabella asked politely.

"Edward was so pissed that he didn't show up at school today," Emmett chuckled.

"My fault," I muttered.

I (unfortunately) do not own Twilight.
