Chapter 13
EJ POV
My talk with uncle jasper had calmed me down but I still wasn't completely happy about all of this. After our talk uncle jasper had left me to myself because he said he could sense I wouldn't be losing control anytime soon. It was so frustrating that when I got mad I would lose control. Elizabeth never lost control like I didn't. Uncle Jasper tapped the door.
"You ok in there?" I smiled always the loving uncle "I'm Fine" I heard him walk down stairs.
I had a feeling until we got to the bottom of this Bella think grandpa wasn't going to let me go to back to school. That was fine by me I didn't like school much anyways. I knew my losing control was worrying my family. Leah had told me last night that she knew what it was like to get really mad and lose control.
I knew that she of all people would truly get losing control when you're upset. It killed me that I had doomed her to this kind of life. If I wasn't for me she wouldn't have lost everyone she loved slowly. She would have grown and died with her brother. She would have had children and a true family. If I hadn't been born then mom would still be alive she would have been changed and dad wouldn't be so sad all the time. I heard Uncle Jasper start to climb the stairs.
I was losing control again. Even now I was hurting my family. I opened my window and jumped. I started to just run. For once I was going to try to fix something instead of destroy it. By the time I got to the school I had figured out my plan completely and made a choice to what I was going to do.
Hopefully me not committing to this plan till the last minute had kept Aunt Alice from figuring it out. It was the last class of the day and without a word I slipped into my last class. I needed to do this now or never. I walked over to Bella
"Hi I'd like to introduce myself. I'm EJ Cullen" I took a deep breath I had to remember to keep control. "Hi I'm Bella Fox."
I wanted to talk more but the teacher walked in I started to walk back to my desk. She reached over and grabbed my arm. "You can sit here if you want." That made things a little easier. "Thanks" I said sliding into the chair next to her.
The teacher slipped in a movie. Things seemed to be really going into my favor. "So how are you and your family enjoying our little town of Stanford?" I couldn't believe a couple of hours ago I was mad at this girl. She seemed sweet and it wasn't her fault she looked like my mother.
"We seem to like it well enough." I didn't want to talk about us I wanted to talk about her. "You lived here your whole life?" I asked her not really knowing what questions to ask. "Yeah my parents stumbled across this little town after they got married and they loved it so much they moved here." She started to draw on her notepad.
I could tell asking her questions about herself made her uneasy but I didn't care I need to know some things. "That's cool. Do you have any brothers or sisters?" I asked hoping I wasn't pushing too far. "No. It's just me and my dad. My mom died a couple years back in a bad car crash." How sad was that. Just then I heard my father's voice in my head no doubt via my sister.
"Edward Jacob Cullen" he screamed "do you know what you are doing you have put everyone at risk being here. What happens if you lose your temper and thinks start blowing up you could hurt someone. I swear when school is over you are so dead." He lashed out. What was he so scared about I had perfect control right now. I couldn't be farther from upset. I was now actually just curious.
"Sorry EJ dad heard your thoughts and begged me to let him communicate with you." My sister was always trying to be the mediator between my father and me. "Dad I know you can hear me. So please just butt out I need to do this." I knew I was in so much trouble when I got home for doing this but I needed to know.
"What is it like living with all those brothers and sister?" she asked me. "It's not bad but we have learned to deal with the out a minute to our selves or a hot shower." I flashed one of my award winning smiles at her. Grandma told me that when I smiled like that it reminded her of how my dad would smile at my mother. My father hadn't smiled really in all my life.
They say that time heals all wounds but it seemed that when you live forever time couldn't help you heal only make it worse. "So have you met any of my brothers and sisters?" I had lost all my nerve I did know what to ask her. How do you ask a complete stranger why does she look like your dead mother.
"I haven't met any of them but I have seen them around and heard stuff from people who have met them." I smirked. So the rumors had started already. "Not that there are bad rumors or anything" she stammered.
"It's ok we are used to it. It happens a lot. New kids new school we aren't your typical family all reasons for rumors to fly when we show up." For some reason I felt at ease talking to her. I wondered if my mother was this easy to talk to. "Yes Aunt Alice says she was." My sister told me so she was still ease dropping in on my conversations. I bet she was even telling everyone a blow by blow report.
"So how long have you been with the adopted parents?" I wanted to tell her the truth but knew that wouldn't be good so I repeated the story I had committed to memory. "Well I've known them my whole life." She looked baffled. "you see my adoptive mother is really my aunt. She took my brother and I in after our parents died in a crash about four years ago."
"That is really sweet of her. So which one is your real brother?" I could tell she had a million questions for me but if I didn't cut her off soon I wouldn't learn anything about her. "The big one Emmett is my brother after aunt Esme and Uncle Carlisle adopted us we decided to take his last name." I didn't know what to ask her. It wasn't like I had known my mother so I didn't know which questions where helpful or not.
The clock on the wall seemed to me to be ticking away our time together faster and faster as I couldn't think of what to say. Finally in the last minute of our time together I panicked and blurred out "Would like to come over after school and get to know us all." After I said it I realized that sounded my ridiculous that anything. As the bell rang she set her hand on mine and batted her eyes
"Yeah id like that to get to know you a little better." Was she flirting with me? Oh my god I couldn't believe it. It was so wrong. She may not have been my mother but she looked like her. I pulled my hand back quickly "Sorry I have a girlfriend. I'm just looking for a friend that's all." She blushed.
"Yeah sorry about that. Friends are good though." She followed me to the parking lot. "Do you want me to follow you in my car?" she asked when she saw all my family standing around our cars. I looked to my family for the answer. I knew they had heard her. I knew we had room cause but was it wise.
Aunt Alice was practically jumping up and down at the thought. We walked over to them. "Everyone this is Bella Fox she's going to come over to hang out tonight." I said more for her than them. "I'm Alice. You can ride with me" Alice said jumping up and down. I climbed in the truck next to Leah.
One of two thing was going to happen this was either going to go well or horrible wrong.
