Bella:
From here to California is about an hour drive so why does it feel like it's taking forever. I continue to stare at the clock, and it seems like time is purposely moving this slow. Every time Edward or Jasper tried to make conversation me and Alice just ignored them and continued to gaze out the window.
Me, personally, I can't wait until all of this is over. Right now, we're suppose to be enjoying our summer before we head off to college. This was totally not the way I planned to spend it. Since Alice and I were not going to talk Edward and Jasper decided to talk to each other. I really wish they would be quiet. I rather ride in this car in silence so I could think straight.
I don't even know if they are making any progress in finding these killers. They aren't updating us. Maybe if they did update us none of this would have happened. I could be sitting on a beach right now getting a tan. I guess California is the closest thing to a hot beach.
"We're here!" Edward announced, as the car pulled into the parking lot.
Edward opened my door and helped me out. I wrapped my arms around my body as the cool breeze made me shiver. I watched the guys grab our suitcases before leading us into the hotel.
"Stay here." Jasper ordered, as they headed towards the receptionist desk.
I remained standing in the middle of the lobby with Alice. For some reason it seemed as if everyone who was in this hotel was staring at us. Every person that walked passed up looked at us as if they were suspicious. They had the look like they were up to something.
"Okay Alice and Jasper are sharing rooms, and Bella you're stuck with me!" Edward announced, handing Alice and me our key cards.
I looked at Alice and she winked at me before the guys led us to the elevator. We went up to the fourth floor and separated to go to our designated rooms. Walking inside the one bedroom hotel room felt completely strange. I am going to be spending the night with Edward for I don't know how long. I flopped down onto the bed not knowing what to do. I have no bathing suit and I know Edward isn't going to let me leave the hotel.
I decided on just going to sleep before I heard a loud banging on the door. Edward quickly and quietly walked to the door, with his hand resting on his gun holster.
"Who is it?" Edward shouted, taking the strap off his gun holster.
"Alice!" the voice on the other side of the door yelled.
Edward opened the door and Alice pushed through it with Jasper treading behind her slowly.
"What's wrong?" I exclaimed, taking a seat on my bed.
"I'm trying to call Emmett, but no one is answering! I called him more than 30 times and its ringing then going to voicemail!" Alice shrieked, throwing the phone onto my bed.
"Let me see." I demanded, grabbing the phone off of my bed.
I redialed the number and found that Alice was right. It rang four times then went to voicemail. I threw the phone back onto my bed before slowly turning towards Edward and Jasper. I looked at the dresser and grabbed the car keys immediately getting Edward and Jasper's attention.
"What are you doing?" Jasper asked, raising his voice.
"If you don't keep us updated on Rose's condition we'll just drive back to Forks!" I warned, as Alice crossed her arms and tapped her foot.
"You won't do that…" Edward sighed, trying to take the car keys from me.
"When it comes to my sisters…there isn't anything I wouldn't do." I responded, pulling them away.
"Fine!" Jasper proclaimed, throwing his hands in the air.
"We'll keep you updated. Since it's late, Emmett isn't going to answer. Try calling him in the morning." I whispered, slowly taking the car keys away from her.
Edward's cell phone started to ring, cutting off our conversation.
"It's Madison." Edward informed, answering the phone call.
"Put it on speaker!" Jasper ordered, as Edward quickly obliged.
"What is it Madison?" I exclaimed, worriedly, as I heard shuffling in the background.
"Be careful Edward! Don't trust everyone!" Madison bellowed, hysterically.
"Mom, what's going on?" Alice shouted, snatching the phone from him.
"I believe someone on the inside is telling about you alls whereabouts." Madison replied, calming down.
"That can't be possible!" Edward added, completely confused.
"But it's happening!" Jason shouted, in the background.
"The only other person that knows about our whereabouts other than you and Jason is Marcus!" Edward declared, putting two and two together.
"I know." Madison sighed, as Edward and Jasper each took a deep breath.
Review:
Okay, so I want to finish this story by February 16th. I'll be moving this along quickly. When this story is finished I'll start to focus on Trouble In Paradise. I don't know when I'll start a new story, but I have a few ideas in mind. I wrote them down so I won't forget and in the future when I do start those stories I hope you will enjoy.
One more thing, my friend Rachel0101 is posting a One Shot on February 14th. So please check it out on that date. I read it and it's really interesting.
