Thanks to my reviewers, you guys get another chapter. I honestly wasn't going to write today, but then I figured, "why not make some people happy?" So here it is… it's relatively short…. I own nothing…
By the way: I have a new website… It's on my page. My old site crashed, so… yeah.
I had been moping for two days. I tried everything, surfing, BMXing, watching movies, swimming. Nothing had worked. I knew I was driving everyone crazy, so I decided to liven up a bit and invite everyone… yes, everyone to go cliff-diving on the far side of the island. It would be a good way to cheer myself up, and it would get me out of the small beach house we used while the Cullens were staying with us. It would be beneficial, and I could tell that Bryan and Peter were beginning to like my former family. Bryan and Emmett got along extremely well, much to Matthew's disapproval
I took a deep breath. "Matt? Bry? Peter?" When they looked at me, I continued, "I'm going to go cliff-diving. I thought I'd invite the Cullens… Are any of you interested?"
Matt looked annoyed, Bryan and Peter looked elated.
"I'll go, but not for them." Matthew said with a horrific sneer. It looked wrong on his beatific face.
"I'm definitely up for it," Bryan declared, pushing against the floor to jump up. Peter simply nodded; a smile on his face.
"I'll go ask, then." I said, biting my lip anxiously. I turned on my heel abruptly and walked away, changing course midway to go to my room and change so I wouldn't have to linger.
"Wait!" Bryan called softly, "Do you want to take the Jeep… to play music I mean." He added. I smiled.
"Definitely. I'm going regardless, so get changed a while." He nodded.
I quickly changed into a tankini top and surf shorts, adding a pair of flip-flops. I took a deep breath and then jumped out the window and ran to the main house. My hand hit the door once, and suddenly the door was open, Edward standing behind it, a lifeless expression on his face. His face, even with that idiom, his face was breathtakingly beautiful.
"Uh, uh…" I stuttered. His face broke into a happy expression, which in turn made it harder to concentrate. But I gritted my teeth and continued.
"My family and I are going to go cliff-diving. Would your family like to come as well?" Suddenly, Alice was at his elbow, happy exclaiming, "I already saw this, and we are all going." She looked at Edward hopefully. He nodded.
"Of course." He murmured, looking at me in an expression I had no name for.
"Well, the rest of us are ready, just Edward needs to change now, and his clothes are laid in his room." Alice smirked.
"I'll go change now." Edward… disappeared. Emmett charged out of the den, grabbing me in a huge hug.
"I knew you'd come around!" He exclaimed happily. He smiled then, and Rosalie came strutting out, breath-taking in a striped green bikini top, with a pair of green shorts. Emmett merely had trunks on, and soon Carlisle, Esme and Jasper came out. Carlisle had an old t-shirt and blue trunks, Esme had on a surf suit. Jasper was wearing swim trunks and a t-shirt, and a moment later, Edward came into the room, with a black and white pair of trunks that looked awe-inspiring on his body. It emphasized the planes of his bare chest, and I nearly lost it. I turned and walked out. I knew Alice was smirking.
"It's this way." I stated flatly, Matt was waiting for me outside the door in his red and black body suit. He greeted Alice, Jasper, Carlisle, Esme, Emmett and Rosalie, but glared hostilely at Edward. I could tell from the expression on his face I didn't want to know what he was thinking. I remembered enough about him to tell that Edward wasn't happy either. His lips pulled back over his teeth threateningly.
"Mattie, come on. Bry and Peter are waiting." I pulled his arms free and laced my fingers through his. With a final second of a glare, he turned, wrapping his arm around my shoulders and we walked away. He released my shoulders and took my hand again and we started to run.
As we ran to the cliffs, we over-took Bryan and Peter in the Jeep, the music was blaring. I smiled deviously, and jumped, landing on the roof without the slightest jolt. I lied down; dropping my head over the windshield, snarling, in what I hoped was scary. Bryan fake screamed, and I laughed. I rolled off, landing in a slight crouch, still laughing. I felt Matthew behind me, but I wasn't expecting him to pick me and carry me the remaining distance to the cliff, and then stop.
"'Kay, let me down." He smiled; a sinister look on his face. He lifted me above his head.
"Matt… Mattie! No! Don't!" He tossed me over the edge, and I screamed in pure bliss, cart wheeling, flipping, spiraling crazily, out of control. I hit the water with a resounding SLAP. I laughed again, and climbed back up the side of the rock face, shaking my hair out of my face. I jumped the last few feet, landed on my toes. I kicked off my flip-flops, and tossed my hair over my shoulder, braiding it as I went.
The Cullens look on in amazement, Alice recovered first. "Oh my…" She laughed, and ran, throwing herself off the cliff. I looked down, following her small body as it twisted. I heard the wet smacking sound of her body. I heard her giggle, and started to smile myself. One-by-one, everyone jumped. And so the antics continued long into the night.
