Chapter 5

Author's Note:

This is my first fan fiction, and I made this story like a year ago I just didn't know where to put it and I didn't want to hand write it…so here it is! :)

SM owns everyone in my story except Alex and Wesley :)

Alex's POV

"Oh my GOD! That movie was fricken SCARY! The end scared the crap outta me! Well…it would have…if I had crap…but I don't…but you get the point!" I said as I walked out of the theater. "Jasper I still can't believe you did that!" Jasper, being the little twerp he was, had decided that it would be funny if he took Alice's, Bella's and my fear and amp it up so that just about everyone in the theater was scared to the bone. Even Rose was scared!

Jasper just laughed, so we all took turns slapping him…so he was laughing and yelling ow at the same time. It made us all laugh, even Alice was…and she hated it when we messed with her husband.

"If any of you tell anyone I was scared…well…there might be some purple smoke in your future." Rose told us menacingly. She was truly frightening when she wanted to be.

"Cross my soul and hope to live! I won't tell anyone!" I promised, and everyone else nodded in agreement. Then Rose laughed.

"Good! Because I have a rep to keep!"

"Bella what did you think of the movie?" I asked, still trying to get her to like me.

"Well. I am pretty sure that Edward shouldn't just stand and watch me anymore. Cause then I might scream, and that would wake Charlie. So umm…you'll just have to lay beside me!" She smiled and gave him a kiss.

"That's a good point!" I laughed.

We had finally gotten back to the cars and I decided that I would ride with Rose this time. I really did want to gain Bella's trust and always being with Edward wasn't helping.

"I think we should race home!" called Emment, with Jasper right beside him agreeing and in his mind he was thinking of a good sum to bet with. He knew that Edward had gotten Rose to work on the Volvo, but Rose was the master herself. He still thought that they could beat them, so he decided on $200. It was low for him. Emment was also comparing the odds, they really were in his favor, so he went high, $50,000. Rose was always up to race, so it was up to Eddie, which meant it was up to Bella.

"Plllease Bella?" Emment asked with his puppy dog eyes which got me to do anything for him.

"Yeah pllllllease Bella!" Jasper chimed in, using his power to sway her to saying yes.

"Fine. Just don't get me killed!" Bella sighed and slid into the car. We all laughed and got in the cars. I called Alice and we both put it on speaker.

"Ok, no rules-" Bella cut in "Except for the rule not to kill me!" "-ok yes that rule…but other than that none! READY! SET! GOOOOO!" I called and we were off.

"Do they even have a chance?" I asked Rose.

"Nope!" she called back, the wind whipping away her words. We all laughed at that.

"So, why are you mean to Bella?" I asked Rose, uncertain on how she would react. She sighed then began.

"Well, she thinks I hate her, but I really don't I just think she's making a bad decision, throwing her life away. I would do anything to be her, and she is willing to do anything to be like me-us." I nodded, I had suspected as much.

"I think I might stop though, I really hate being mean in front of you, I guess I'm afraid it will rub off," she laughed then continued, "and I see now that no matter what I can't change her mind."

"Good. You are more likeable when you are nice! It's not you when you are mean…"I told her truthfully. She just laughed because at that time we had screeched to a stop in front of the house with the Volvo at our heels.

"YEAH! $200 bro!" Emment yelled to Jasper, who proceeded to sigh and hand over the money. That's when everyone but Bella noticed a new smell. It was a vampire, but not one we knew, I scanned minds to see if they recognized it and they didn't.

It was coming from the house, and we wanted to know what it was. So we formed a loose formation, Emment and Jasper up front, us girls in the middle and Edward in Bella in the back.

When we walked in Mom and Dad and someone else were sitting in the living room. As soon as we saw that we all relaxed, well not Edward because the new vamp's eyes were blood red.

"Edward, calm down, he promised not to hurt her. He was living like Jasper," who immediately looked up with renewed interest when his name was mentioned, "he hated killing humans. He was sinking into depression, like Jasper and you. What's with vampires and depression? Anyway back to the point, he wanted a new life, and he's been wandering and came upon us. He caught our scent and decided to check it out. We told him that he could stay with us." Esme said in one breath.

"But he can't! Bella is staying the night! What if he hurts her? And anyway, where will he stay?" Edward protested.

"Edward. You will be with Bella all night, like every single night since you figured out you loved her. And he will stay in Alice's room."

"WHAT! Where will I stay then!" Alice protested now, but Edward seemed fine.

"You and Rose and Alex will stay in Alex's room, it's big enough, for all of your things. Emment and Jasper will stay in Rosalie's room. No questions! You all have 10 minutes to get your things and move them to your new room!" Esme ordered. Everyone but Edward and Bella, who were looking extremely happy, sighed.

I went down to the basement where I knew some more wardrobes were, I called Edward to come help because he didn't have to move anywhere, but who I got was the new guy.

"Oh you didn't have to come and help me…" I told him shyly.

"I want to, it's my fault you have to do this anyway. I'm Wesley by the way." He told me.

"Oh thank you then!, "I smiled, "I'm Alex."

"That's a pretty name is it short for something?" He asked while pulling a sheet off a wardrobe. I coughed, dust had gotten in my throat.

"Umm, what? Oh yeah, it's short for Alexandra…" I told him.

We both grabbed a side and walked the wardrobe up the stairs, when we finally got it to my room, Alice and Rose were already there with arm loads of clothes.

"Ok, so most of ours we got to it in the closet, but we need to put these in that." Alice told me.

"Mm kay, where should we put it?" I asked her.

"Will it fit in the bathroom?"

"Yeah…"

"There then!"

"Okokok!" We all started to laugh.

"Thanks Wesley!" I called as he walked out.

"Any time!" He turned and gave me a smile to die for.

"You like him and he likes you." Rose said while looking at her nails, as if she commented on my clothes.

"Wha-What! Pshaww! No we don't! We're just friends and he was helping me…" I sputtered out.

"Whatever. Rose is right." Alice agreed.

"Ok fine. I like him, but how do you know he likes me? I mean…seriously!"

"Because, we both have husbands and we know every expression a guy could make. He definitely likes you." Rose said, blunt as always.

"Ok, do you think he will ask me out or something?"

"YES!" They both yelled at me.

"Yea!" We all collapsed laughing. I turned to the bathroom counter and almost collapsed again.

"How much make up do you two need! I mean we are already perfect looking!" I called, every inch of my-our counter was covered in make up!

"Most of it is for Bella Makeovers." Rose said with Alice right beside her nodding religiously.

"Wow…I see why she hates them so much…"

We heard a knock on the door, I sighed and went to get it. It was Emment.

"Hey! Uhm, Carlisle, Esme, Jazz and I were wondering if you guys wanted to go hunting…I think Wesley is staying though…" He waggled his eyebrows at me when he said that. The three of us girls looked at each other.

"We'll go! Alex just ate though, RIGHT ALEX?" Rose and Alice said at the same time.

"Okay. You girls are crazy things…the only thing your good for is—"

"Say it Emment! I DARE you too!" Rose cut him off with a evil glare.

"Oh uh, I'd rather not…"

"That's what I thought. Bye Alex! Have FUN!" Rose told me. I laughed and said I would as they walked out of the door.

When they left I started to clean my already spotless room, I didn't know how to flirt, let alone ask out a guy. I sighed and sat down on my bed right as someone knocked on my door. I quickly ran and opened it, it was Wesley!

"Hey!" he said as he walked in and shut the door.

"Hii!" Was my well thought out response.

"So whatcha doin?"

"Oh just cleaning and organizing stuff…"

"That's cool…" He was slowly walking towards me, he was looking me in my eyes, and I was frozen. He was beautiful, it was hard to respond to him. He kept coming forward, until he was one step away from me, then leaned forward and kissed me on the lips. Surprise overtook me, so when he stepped back and saw my face he got worried.

"Was that ok?"

"Ye-yeah…it's just…I didn't think you liked me like that…I guess Alice and Rose were right." I said and smiled slightly.

"Why wouldn't I like you? You are cute, single, and talented!" When I looked at him questioningly he smiled and said,

"Your parents explained about all of your talents, I hope you don't mind." He looked kinda worried at that last part, but I smiled and shook my head.

"So can you do anything talented?" I asked curiously.

"Yeah, I suppose so, and I've been told it's talented…" He trailed off

"What have those people told you about your talent?" I asked curiously, I didn't like looking in minds, it made me feel as if I was a stalker, if they wanted me to know something they would tell me, well, I used that for vampires, I really didn't care if I did or didn't with humans.

"They have told me I have the world's greatest shield." He stated, with absolutely no emotion at all. It seemed I would have to pry any information I wanted from him out myself.

"What's so great about it?" he sighed and took a deep breath.

"Well, I can make it to where mind readers can't read my mind, I can make it to where emotion players, like Jasper, can't mess with my emotions whatsoever, I can make it to where fortune tellers can't see me, and I can make it where if you come to attack me, it spins and turns on you. "

"Oh…that would is the world's greatest shield." He laughed and nodded. Then closed his eyes and he looked like he was concentrating very hard. He opened his eyes and they had a weird glint in them, if frightened me a little bit.

"So where did you say you were from?" I asked in a small voice. He chuckled evilly.

"Ok, I suppose now that I am just about invincible I will tell you all about me. You see, I am a bounty hunter. I heard the Volturi wanted Edward, Alice, and Jasper for Aro's collection. So I thought to myself 'If I go to the Volturi with those three, the three that the Volturi have wanted since they heard about them, I shall more than likely get a HUGE bounty.' So I came here, I had heard where you live, it's not that hard in the vampire world to find out stuff like that, and I followed your scent once I really got into Forks, where I met your mother and father. I came up with the whole story and they believed it, very gullible people they are, and had intended on just taking Edward, Alice and Jasper. I had the benefit of the doubt, what with my extra powers, but when I saw your face I fell in love. I have been alone for a long time now, it's very lonely as you should know. So now I have a proposition for you. If you let me be your boyfriend for as long as I want, and it can go to fiancé and husband if you want, then I shall not report you to the Volturi, because if they hear about you they will most certainly send warriors to come and get you, but if you break up with me, or tell anyone else about me or anything like that, then I will go to Italy and your sorry behind will be theirs." He finished and looked at me expectably. I knew my choice before even having to think about it, I would never risk my family like that.

"You-you can stay…" I whispered hoarsely.

"I thought you would say that! I think I'll let you be and gather yourself before everyone else returns, we wouldn't want anyone suspicious now would we?"

"Okay." He turned and left the room.

I didn't know what to think, if he stayed I would have to hold the secret forever, if I turned him away, all my family was in danger. I would have to just suffer through it, I had been through worse, I suppose. I went to the bathroom and splashed water on my face, I didn't know what I was expecting to happen, it just seemed right. I heard the return of everyone else, happy noises.

"OMG we have to go shopping tomorrow! Have you seen what Bella wears to bed?" Alice said as they walked in through the house door.

"My Bella looks absolutely perfect in ratty sweats and tank tops!" Edward hollered down the stairs, which made everyone else laugh, I faked a laugh when I saw Wesley looking at me.

They came in and shut the door then sat on the bed next to me, and the question bombardment began.

"So…what happened while we were gone! The room looks organized, do NOT tell me all you did while we were gone was organize the room!" Rose told me.

"Well, I did organize it but we also talked, he said he wanted to be my boyfriend and I said yes. So uhm, I don't know if we are gonna go on a date or something soon…" I said with mock enthusiasm.

Right as I finished there was a knock at the door, it was him. Wesley.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go get a snack?" he asked me in a very alluring voice. I really didn't think I had a choice so I nodded with more mock enthusiasm. I got up and followed him out the side door, and we started running, I had to follow him because I had no idea where we were going. After about 10 minutes, we were probably about 10 hours away from the house, definitely out of ear shot and mind shot. He did is thing where he concentrated really hard and then got the evil glint in his eye.

"YOU ARE SUCH AN INCOMPETENT IDIOT!" He yelled at me. "I TOLD YOU TO DO ONE THING WHEN I LEFT! TO BE PRESENTABLE! AND DID YOU? BARELY! YOU'RE LUCKY I DON'T JUST GO TO THE VOLTURI RIGHT NOW!" He had stopped yelling at me and just looked at me. I was looking down, I didn't see it coming but all of a sudden I was lying down and the side of my head hurt. He must have hit me really hard because I felt it, and vampires weren't supposed to feel pain. Then he pulled me up by my hair and slapped me a few times then sucker punched me. Slapped me a few times and threw me down.

"Come on. Everyone thinks we are getting a snack so we'll need to have lighter eyes." He told me.

We hunted a few deer then turned and ran home. When we got there I had remembered that I shared my room, so I told my sisters that I was gonna see how fast I could go to Texas and back, promising to be home in time for school to my parents. I headed in the right direction for a while, then when I was in the middle of nowhere I pulled over into the woods and just broke down. No one ever hit me, except in fun when we were play fighting, nobody had ever had a reason to, I was a likeable person. It was my personality.
