Yes, I'm still alive. Sorry about not updating. I don't have anything for now, so here's some fluff. Anyway, I don't own Twilight, obviously, and I don't think anyone else here does.
Everything was perfect. Nothing could make my life better right now. Edward and I were inseparable. My new family was wonderful. I didn't know what I had been missing, being alone all this time.
Alice was always hyper. She took the liberty of dressing me for everything, saying I had no taste whatsoever. I didn't mind that much, I would let her have her fun and then get her back when she least expected it. Like right now, I was canceling her credit card. She wouldn't be able to see me. I blocked her with my talent. We didn't know for sure what it was yet.
I could influence anything with the mind. I could read thoughts, like Edward, control them, anything that had to do with minds. When Tanya went flying through the air, she wasn't flying; she was leaping backwards because I told her to. I didn't know exactly what I could, but I was powerful.
So here I was, the only one who could keep something away from Alice. Payback is sweet. I wonder what would happen when she wanted to use it. She would flip, not being able to buy the new Gucci bag she wanted. Her thoughts would go to Emmett, blame him for this. I wasn't like this, normally, but her last makeover was too awful for her to get away with.
Alice always got what she wanted, everyone knew that. No one bet against her, except Emmett sometimes. I was the only who could work around her and I planned to do just that. I couldn't understand why Emmett felt the need to pull a prank until I had pulled one myself. It felt great, sometimes, knowing you could get around a mind reader and a physic.
I would just hate to see the look on her face when she came home.
"ISABELLA MARIE SWAN! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY CREDIT CARD?" Alice was home. Joy.
"What do you mean, sister dearest?" We had taken to calling each other nicknames whenever we wanted something.
"YOU CANCELED IT! I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU!" she was screaming at the top of her lungs when she knew I could hear her even if she whispered.
"I didn't do that, looks like your shopping addiction has gotten the best of you. I think you should have that looked at." She looked furious.
"You---you, UGH!" She stormed off without another word. No doubt I would get it from her later, in the form of make-up. I think Edward would have to protect me.
"Do you think she's that mad?" I asked rhetorically.
"Yes." Everyone answered Crap.
I was listening to my iPod when the song Drops of Jupiter came on. It was one of my favorite songs.
But tell me,
Did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way
To see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
Tell me
Did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
Edward walked in and wrapped his stone arms around my waist, singing the lyrics lightly in my ear.
Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way throught the constellation
Eah, eah, eah
She checks out Mozart while she does Tae-Bo
Reminds me that there's room to grow
Eah, eah, eah
Now that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as
Plain 'ol Jane
Told a story 'bout a man who was to afraid to fly so he never did land
"I will never think of you as plain Jane, that's my role." I couldn't see how someone like him loved someone like me. He was, him. Perfect in everyway. Loving your flaws. That crooked smile of his. That constantly messy bronze hair of his. Those topaz eyes I seemed to get lost in over and over again.
"When will you see yourself clearly, Bella? You are far from plain, intriguing actually. Everyone can't help but love you." I turned around, looking into his eyes. I bit my lip, thinking that I would actually get used to him. Every time I turned around and saw him, it was like seeing him for the first time. I would always gasp slightly and then remember that he was mine, for eternity. I couldn't believe that I could look forward to an eternity without being sad.
"I guess I never will. I don't think I want to either." He reached behind me, replaying the song.
"I love you, Bella. You are my world. I don't know what I would do without you, and, by some miracle, you love me too. I will spend forever with you. I hope you know that." I did know that, I just couldn't believe. I had to stop myself sometimes from thinking this was a dream, of course it was, but it was a dream come true.
"I think I love you more, Edward Cullen. I have no reason without you. You are my everything. When I found you, it was like all those years hadn't happened, like I never went a day without you. I was miserable when you didn't remember me. I thought you truly had moved on, and I wasn't going to be the one to stop you from being with Tanya." I flinched at her name. "What I'm trying to say, simply put, is I love you more than my own life."
He cupped my cheek in his hand and leaned forward to kiss me. It wasn't those usual pecks he gave me. All the emotion he had pent up, all the love, the lust, everything, was put into this kiss. I wrapped my hands around his head to pull him closer.
"Not now, Alice." Edward groaned. Great, she was back.
"Too bad, I'm coming in anyway. BELLA! Time for a makeover!" Revenge for revenge was a bitch. Ugh.
"Not now, Alice, I'm busy. Go away. Come back later."
"No! I need to do it now because you're busy. Revenge is great, Bella. You should know."
I had no choice. I, very unwillingly, stepped away from Edward and walked towards the door.
"If I don't come back, you know who to blame." I told Edward, glaring at Alice the entire time. Hello torture.
