Hey! Told ya I'd get another chapter up today! :) I'm all happy with myself today! :)
Chapter 6 LPOV
I couldn't bring myself to come to terms with what had happened in the couple of days. I'd come down from Alaska alone and found the family I'd left behind. Of course seeing Edward and Rosalie had hurt more than seeing Carlisle and Esme. It didn't help seeing that my ex-family had expanded without my knowledge. Plus I had to be stupid enough to make a deal with them but perhaps it'd be worth it in the long run. Carlisle and Esme might be able, in fact it seemed like they already happened, to forgive me but could Edward and Rosalie?
I sighed ran a hand through my hair. I was sitting on a fallen tree trunk with Parker outside the Cullen house on the edge of the trees that surrounded the many acres of land that had been bought to maintain their privacy. Something that I hadn't had in a long time. God I missed privacy.
"Get the hand off the thigh Parker!" I growled.
"Ooh! Someone's got their knickers in a twist. Or are you wearing nothing?" when I raised my eyebrows at him he whispered "Just the way I like it"
"Go away you asshole" I snapped.
"Nice to know you love me so much and don't just need me for your services" he said
"OMG!" I hissed, "I don't need you. I could've handled this on my own. I mean come on! Why would I need you to help me on this? I don't need you!"
"That's not what you were screaming during that night Italy." He said knowingly.
"What night in Ita-" she trailed off and understanding dawned "Oh! That night in Italy! Well that was like about forty years ago. It's past as is that relationship that you messed up by sleeping with that Spanish vampire who I most definitely got my own back on by the way!"
"What did you do? No! Don't tell me! I don't think I want to know"
We sat in silence for what seemed like a long time. I didn't completely hate Parker. Heck I didn't think I ever had apart from those few days after miss Spanish vampire came along. He made a good friend and a good person to work with. He always spoke what he was thinking around me like he felt comfortable around me. That was how I'd fallen for him in the first place. Or maybe it was because I'd been alone for so long. Either way I'd been happy for 5 years before I had to go away to recruit and he'd been left behind. I'd came back the next day and found those two going at it like animals.
But he'd apologized and we became friends again but I told him I just didn't want to be anything more with him. Not yet anyway.
I looked up at the house. I squinted into the darkness through the huge expanse of glass being used as a wall and saw the human curled up against Edward's chest. I growled so low that human ears would be unable to here it but Parker did.
"What?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Nothing. Seriously"
"Ok then" he turned back to look at the house.
He'd given up but he would bring it up again later. That was one thing about him he was always truly concerned and he'd noticed I wasn't ready to talk yet but might be later.
Oh god! I thought I'm being nice to Parker! When did that happen?
I shook the thought from my head wondering if Edward could here me. What would he do if he heard Parker and I had had a thing? God he'd been possessive enough of me when I first lived with the Cullens.
Parker ran a hand through his hair. I smiled. At least he was still familiar. He was something I could cling to while I rode out a sea of anger that would spurt from Edward when I left again.
I would survive.
But what would I leave behind?
