5. from across dimensions

I woke ip the next morning to snow and more snow! There was black ice everywhere this morning and my dad offered me his car in exchange. It was a black Chevy sedan, a late 90s model but it was better than a Yugo.

"Willy, you should take my car." he said the night before. Dad still worked in seattle as a laywer though. "It's got better traction."

I had an offer from Tyler already so I had to let Dad down easily. Besides he drove farther than me. I was busy getting ready when a beaming Tyler showed up at my door.

"Willa! Are you ready yet?" He yeiled, jokingly impatient. "I'm getting old out here. Me and the wife have three beautiful children already!" He tapped his foot. "Why do all women take like five hours to get out of the tub?"

I giggled as I met him at the door. "Oh Ty, it's a girl thing." He reached for my arm. "I can walk over ice myself, thank you." I said.

"But I can't-you need to hold on to me!" Tyler joked. We reached the van and he opened the door for me-such a gentlemen, how unlike one so called Jasper Hale.

We arrived-safely mind you-to school and I tugged on Tyler's attempt at a goatee. "What is this?"

"Um-facial hair, many men have it." he stuttered. I giggled-he had a dirty skater look to him but his face liked to stay baby-ish so he was trying to compensate.

"It looks like pubes," said Angela who was standing next to us already. She got here early, apparently. I liked her black red-streaked waist-length hair but she'd cut it over the weekend! It was short and in a shaggy little bob around her face. I gasped-Tyler gasped too.

"God, what did you to to your hair!?" I said. "It's so short now."

"It was ass-length for so long I didn't want it to fall into the toilet when I shat," she said smirking. We were outside now and walking along the snow covered ground when I first heard the shouts.

"Get out of the way!"

I looked up to see what was going on, but instead I saw him! Jasper Hale in his breathtaking asshole glory standing by his friend Edward's Volvo all the way across the lot, but I still saw him-i could recgonize him anywhere.. He was looking through me again and I gritted my teeth.

"FUCK! HAUL ASS EVERYONE!" The shout was louder but it wasn't from Jasper or any of his friends. It was from a familiar voice, though. The screams echoed across the parking lot asthe out of control car creened itno view.

"Holy SHIT!" screamed Tyler. He grabbed me and Angela and tried to run off but I slipped and dropped my bag as they went. I was quick to pick upthe bag but not quick enough to escape the car.

SHIT! I screamed mentally. I was almost out of the way but the car was on my heels as I brace myself for impact. Tyler screamed at me to get the fuck out of the way and I was on my heels again.

The car skidded out of my way with a audible screech as its tires scraped the asphault. I totallyexpected myself to be knocked under and my legs to be reelin underneath rubber and two tons of metal and leather but-

A streak of honey and black moved above me. I was sprawled on the ground-yielding in pain though-as we met eyes. I didn't have time to speak since my head hurt like a bitch.

"Jasper?" I called weekly, but he was gone to soon as my eyelashes grew heavy and dull and I had to shut my eyes.

xoxoxoxoxo-

I opened my eyes easily, expecting to see the sky and the school leaning over me, but instead I got the sterile offwhiteness of an ambulance. Uh oh, I thought, gulping. We were already galloping to the hospital, and in fact it had just stopped at the Forks hospital.

My dad arrived as they were checking my vitals for any signs of injury. Now the whole school's going to think I got smacked by the car.

"Willy!" My dad exclamed in a furor of owrry. "How are you doing?"

"Fine, actually-maybe a little dizzy..." I said slowly. The doctor walked in now, and I blinked twice. He looked like he could be Jasper's brother or something-they had similar blond hair and pale complexion. I caught myself gaping and composed myself again.

"Hello," the doctor smiled and spoke in a stunning voice-even the nurse who was in the room seemed to swoon, "you must be Wilhemina."

"Willa," I corrected breathily.

"I'm Doctor Cullen," he said and my eyes must've fallen out since they were so wide they woudln't be able to fit into their sockets.

"Cullen?" I said gasping for breathe. "Do you know about this band called 'The Cullens?'" I asked.

"It's a very common name, Cullen," Dr. Cullen said off-handedly. "I'm sure it's only a coincidence." He was probably right-the band all had different last names in reality. "I'm not related to the murderer Charles Cullen, for instance."

It was a little silent for a moment. "Let's bet back to busness: you had a minor concussion-it's no big deal-there was no blood or anything. You should be good to go home tonight." He walked of the room.

My friends walked in, happy to see me awake. "Willa!" Tyler shooted. "Your alright after all!" Angela hugged me happy to see my alive, and she said one of her little jokes. Mike and Jessica were there too and they were all smiley and gave me pats on the back and hugs and everything.

"The whole school's gonna hear about the new girl getting knocked to the ground by Eric's out of control car!" Jessica squealed. Eric?

"Whose Eric?" my dad asked suspiciously. I told him and explained everything, but I wondered where Eric was now.

"Where is Eric anyways?" I asked. Then they told me.

"He's down the hall actually!" Mike said. "He says sorry so much."

"In fact that's all he ever says," Tyler joked.

"Oh, it's allright-I should be sorry-I was the dumb one standing in the middle of the waytrying to get my bag," I say. Then my memory jogs. Jasper saved me! I remember how he-wait, he pushed me to the ground? I was confused.

"How's Eric?" I asked.

"Well, while your fine and dandy-Eric's pretty banged up-he broke an arm." Mike said. I wince in guilt.

"Oh god, really? I feel so bad now-I think I'll go see him."

"Are you sure?"

"Dr. Cullen said I was fine." I said plainly.

xoxoxoxoxo-

After I apologised to Eric for being a dumb shit and trying to get him to stop apologising for being a dumb shit himself, I wasready to get chekced out andhead home for theday. I bet the whole school would be choked up over me tomorrow-or at least the ones who werent total preps and or shitfaced jocks.

I walked out of Eric's room and stumbled into an odd sight-the sexy, glossy auburn-haired Edward, Jasper's bandmate, was talking to Dr. Cullen. They seemed angry and hushed. Now here I come thinking that Dr. Cullen didn't know about the band who shared his name!

I was planning to walk up to them but I must of blinked REAL hard then, since all of a sudden Edward was gone and it was just Dr. Cullen.

"Dr. Cullen? I ask as I walk up to him. "Who was that young man-I swear I recognized him from my school."

"Who was whom, Willa?" He smiled at me. I knew he was hiding something. "Who did you think you saw then?"

Um... "Edward Masen, a band member of The Cullens." i said as I noticed the color of his eyes-the same gold that Jasper's contacts where. Shit was getting weird fast.

Dr. Cullen was thoughtful for a momnet. "I'm afraid you're mistaken, Willa. it must be the concussion-confusion is a symptom, you know." He smiled at me so knowingly. "Well, i'm afraid I do haveother patients to tend to and I hope your feeling alot better soon."

He walked away from me and yet I stood there dumbfounded. If that wasnt Edward Masen-then who was it?
