hey guys! we know we haven't posted in a while, so this chapter is almost twice as long as the others! enjoy and review ;)
Caitlin POV
It was scary, they were IDENTICAL! If you looked past his size (he was huge!) his dark skin and the fact that he was quite obviously a guy, they could have been twins. I stood stock still, mouth hanging open. Charlie looked between them, shook his head and asked if we all wanted pie before it got cold. We all agreed gladly.
I sat on the armchair in front of the coffee table and started slicing the pie and serving it. This left Charlie and Billy on the larger sofa and Chloe squashed in next to Sam, avoiding each other's gaze. We sat in relative silence, occasionally commenting on the weather and other inconsequentials. When Billy had finished, he set down his plate and turned towards me and Chloe.
"How would you two like to come down to La Push with me and Sam? It's an amazing sight," said Billy with a grin, looking pointedly at Chloe.
"Billy, I would love to come down to La Push, from what I've heard of it, it certainly is amazing," replied Chloe, grinning.
"I would absolutely love to come, but I have to get back home to our other cousin. She's not very well, and I need to look after her, but you go on ahead Clo, I'll take care of Hayley," I told them, shortly before thanking Charlie for his hospitality and taking my leave. I watched Chloe get into Billy's rusty old Chevy and drive off down the road. This one trip could change her life forever.
Chloe POV
I clambered into the cab of Billy's rusty old pick up, my boots squeaking every time I moved my feet. I sat in the middle, watching the world outside whizz past and savouring the world inside. Billy smelled of tobacco and peppermints, so did the cab of the truck. Sam smelt woodsy, like pine needles and leaves and summer showers, if there was such a smell. Without warning, the heavens opened up and a downpour started. I loved the rain. The soothing, rhythmic beat, the cool refreshing feeling of rain on your skin, and the childlike desire to stick your tongue out and taste it or find the biggest puddle you can and jump in it, soaking your socks through your boots.
Billy turned on the heater that rattled while it worked and the squeaking windscreen wipers until we pulled up outside a small house surrounded by dirt track, fields and a little red homemade garage. I jumped out of the cab to help Sam with Billy's chair. Mr Muscle didn't need my help, so I insisted on pushing him up the ramp into his house, I did it quite well I might add.
We opened the door and a head popped out from around the kitchen door. He had dark brown hair like mine and Sam's, only much longer, and he had chocolate pudding all round his mouth. I had to giggle, Sam and Billy chuckled along.
"Dude, you got a little bit of something all over your face," said Sam, indicating the places the boy had spread his pudding around his mouth. The boy laughed and started scrubbing his face with a dishcloth.
"This is my son, Jacob," Billy told me, he waved a hand in my direction, "This is Charlie's new neighbour, Chloe Volturi," He waved at me, I waved back smiling. "Go work on your car, Jacob, we need to discuss something important," Without a word, Jacob bounded out into the downpour and into his little makeshift garage.
"Sam, summon the others," Billy said in a serious, commanding voice, Sam nodded and jogged out the kitchen door. Amongst the sound of beating rain and distant thunder came a wolf-like howl, but it seemed like it was talking to me. Calling me. come, come, come...
"what is that?" I asked Billy, scared out of my wits.
"What is what?" He looked confused, "You mean you can hear him? calling them?" He looked amazed.
"Well, yeah, Can't you?" I said, he shook his head.
"Only the wolves can hear it," This shocked me more than anything. We remained silent until Sam emerged, dripping wet, and planted himself on the seat beside me.
"The others are coming," He told Billy.
"She heard you Sam, the kid heard your call," Said Billy, Sam's eyes widened, his bushy eyebrows rose.
"Whoa," He looked at me then, smiling in a strange way, "that's something, that sure is something," he seemed almost...proud. Wow, things kept on getting stranger. The kitchen door swung open again and two huge youths entered, crowding billy's tiny kitchen and dripping rainwater on the lino.
"Hey, who's the girl?" Said one of the boy's, the taller of the two. I turned on them, twisting in the stool, and they looked back and forth between me and Sam. Billy wheeled himself around the kitchen table.
"Right, so um... introductions," muttered Sam, "This is Paul," He indicated to the boy who called me 'the girl' he then pointed to the other boy, "and this is Jared, our pack is quite small at the moment," he smiled awkwardly and rubbing the back of his neck. Jare doffered a friendly smile and wave, Paul just crossed his arms over his chest defiantly.
"Now, time to get down to buisness," Said Billy, and we all crowded round his little table, me wedged imbetween Sam and Paul, who stayed icy, despite his abnormal body temperature. Billy turned to me, "Now, we need to know some things, when did this all start? how did you find out about us? and, who was your mother?" he glanced pointedly at Sam, then back at me.
So I told them everything. My dreams, the meadow, the man and woman, my father, the lies, the secrets, my sisters, their fathers, our arrival in seattle, Carslile Cullen. All the events that led me to Billy Black's kitchen table, surrounded by werewolves. They all listened intently as I unfolded the tale that I didn't fully understand yet, even though I'd lived it.
"And your mother? What was your Mother's name?" asked Billy.
"Erika, Erika Rainbird, why?" I questioned.
"My mother," Said Sam unexpectedly in a quiet, breathless voice, "Was Erika Rainbird, until she married my father, Luke Uley. Then she became Erika Uley, and she had me, her firstborn, and always presumed to be her only child. She went missing when I was two years old, the whole village searched in vain for her, for two years they searched, and one day she was found. Alone, cold, looked like she'd been living rough for a while, they found her in the forest near the Quileute river. They asked where she'd been, but she spoke of deamons with blood in their eyes. She told them of a child, a child born of the darkness and the light. The witch doctor told us that she had been inhabited by a dark spirit, that she had no hope. My father refused to listen, he took her to the human's doctor, the Vampire man you spoke of, Carslile. He did everything to try and save her, and when he knew he couldn't, when he'd done everything he could think of, he let her die without pain. And for that, I will always be grateful. For that, I bent the treaty, let them on our land, let them know of our trust. My father killed himself shortly after her death and it nearly broke me, nearly killed me too, but billy and jacob and all my friends kept me going. But, now, if we share a mother, that makes you and I..." he choked on the last words, this was pain like he'd never experienced, I could feel it radiating off of him. I took his hand, and he lifted his bowed head, I saw the tears in his eyes.
"Brother and Sister," I finished for him, tears welling in my own eyes. I had my sisters but this was something completely different. He shared my blood, he was my brother. He pulled me into a hug, crushing me against his chest. It just felt natural, the way things were supposed to be. I hugged him back, rubbing circles into his back, letting his arms support me, and I felt that was how it was meant to be, my brother looking after me, me looking after my brother. After a while we broke apart, I was standing in front of him, he was sitting before me and I smiled, wiping the tears from his eyes. He smiled back and stood.
"Your sister's will be wanting you home soon, but the rest of the council will want to hear your story, meet you. We will gather soon, I'll tell you when, but for now, I'll give you a ride home," He said, and led the way to his car, another beaten up chevy. We drove in comfortable silence and he pulled up outside my house before a minute seemed to have passed, yet it had been several.
"There's a party, at La Push Tomorrow, I hope you three can come," He said as I got ready to depart.
"Sure, Caitlin loves parties," I grinned, kissed his cheek and jumped out of the truck, running through the rain onto the porch where I watched him drive away and let myself in. I had a brother!
-The next day ( school ) -
Caitlin's POV
I woke up in pure darkness. Only a crack of light seeped through my dark purple curtains. I was ready to go today, bright and beaming and ready for my first day of school. Ugh! Who am i kidding, school really? I was always home schooled, and now i had to go to a highschool rather than the warmth of my own home. God i missed my home, my dad, the life i was use to. But at least i would be able to make some new friends and connections, other than the friends i had in Italy.
I got out of bed and opened my curtains. The light beamed through, Chloe said it was usually terrible weather and as of last night i agreed with her. But today was one of those days where it wasn't sunny but very hot. I knew my sisters were still asleep due to the fact that i hadn't told them that i signed us up for school, so i grabbed my pillow and made my way to chloe's room. I walked in to find her snoring, so i wacked her over the head with the pillow shouting "wake up! We're going to school!"
"what?" Chloe moaned,
"school i singed us all up, come on we've only got an hour to get ready!" i said. As i did Hayley walked in with her blanket looking sleepy.
"What's with all the yelling?" she spoke, i walked over with a smile."Hey sis it's nothing, I was just waking Chloe up because i signed all of us up for highschool, apparently the Cullens go there"
"Oh ok" she sighed and i hugged her
"Come on we've got to get a move on." And with that we went in our rooms to get ready.
Hayley's POV
I walked off to my room to get ready for school. I can't believe we have to go, I know my sister means well and wants me to get over my- i mean Jesse but I'm finding it more and more imposible as the days go by. Since that day I haven't spoke to my sisters much, i spent the day curled up on my bed soaking my pillows with all the tears and sorrow in my heart. Getting over Jesse is and would never be an option he was my soul mate and nothing would change that. But now I see i couldn't have meant enough to him that he let go of me so easly, and at the same time believe I would do a thing like that to him.
I had a quick shower and stratened my hair. I changed into a pair of dark navy jeans and a tight grey top with my chocolate coloured hoody. I walked down the stairs not wanting breckfast so i sat in the living room waiting for my sisters.
Jesse's POV (OMG I KNOW U DIDN'T EXPECT THAT DID U READERS! XXX)
I climbed through Hayley's window longing to be close with her in some way. I was a broken man hoping his girl would realize the scum she was dating wouldn't love her, care for her, do anything she wanted for her like i would. I knew she was too good for me but God damn it! I loved her too much, thats why I let her go. If she wanted some other guy rather than me I would gladly give her up if he made her happy. I walked to the foot of the bed and sat on the edge wondering what I did wrong and why she left me for another. I wore the same suit as i did the day she left, I guess i couldn't let go just yet. I reached into my pocket taking out a blood red velvet box, I opened it reveling a silver ring with three square dimonds on top and two dark violet amethysts on either side. It was almost as beautiful as her and thats why i picked it, the amethysts were the exact colour of her eyes. When i saw it through the window it reminded me of the first day i met her, the seconed i saw it i knew she would say 'yes' but i was clearly mistaken. I mean i didn't even get the question out! I let out a sigh putting the box back in my pocket then climbing back out the window.( AWWwwwwww i know so sad he loves her soooo much!)
Chloe POV
I got dressed into a long button down white shirt, with a thick brown belt, dark blue jeans and knee high brown cowboy boots. Caitlin approved and we went out to the cars, we had asked Felix to have them delivered, and they arrived the night before. I pulled the dust sheet off my dark blue lotus convertable sports car. I frickin loved this car! Hayley, not so much. I loved speed, she loved speed too, but not like me, she got sick the first time she rode in my car. Caitlin loved my car too, but had to drive hayley around in her car. Caitlin had a Audi R8, only slightly slower than mine, shiny and silver. I put my book bag on the passanger seat, put on my sunglasses and popped in my Rihanna CD. I turned and saw Caitlin doing the same. She was wearing a chocolate brown, floaty dress with red and white dots. It had a wide V-neck collar with a white vest underneath and a white ribbon with a bow on it. To complete her outfit she wore a pair of huge sunglasses witth white frames. She pulled out of the driveway, I followed, Rihanna's SOS blasting out of our speakers.
We pulled up at the school at the same time a nd climbed out. All eyes were on us as we walked inside the little office, I noticed the only other cars in the lot that looked under 15 years old, a silver volvo and a red convertible. We went into the office and got our timetables, my first lesson was biology with Mr Banner, but Hayley had chemistry with Miss Alade and Caitlin had Drama with Mrs Brown. I headed over to class and knocked on the door.
"come in," said a man's voice, I assumed it was Mr banner. I walked in, and all the male students suddenly took a little more notice. "Ah...you must be our new student...er...chloe volturi?" he looked kind of nervous.
"yes, sir," I said, my faint italian accent blatant against his bold american one.
"Well, take a seat miss Voulturi," he said, indicating to the furthest of two free chairs. One was beside a girl with long black hair, thick glasses and a camera bag hanging from her shoulder. The other was beside a tall boy with artfully messy reddish brown hair, and golden eyes. He must be one of Carslile's kids. I brushed past him on my way up to my seat.
"Hey," I said to the girl who was in the seat next to me, she looked up at me in suprise.
"Oh, um, hi," she said, "I'm Angela,"
"Chloe," I said with a smile, she smiled back and we got into a small conversation about books. We started studying the stages of mitosis in onion plants. I took notes and so did Angela, occasionally exchanging a glance or a few words. The Lesson ended soon, and Watched Mr Cullen exit the classroom. "I'll see you at lunch, then?"
"Yeah, sure," Angela looked absolutely amazed. I walked out of the class and to the Gym for PE. Caitlin, Hayley and I changed and headed out onto the track, occasionally doing a flip or a cartwheel just to amuse ourselves. I saw Angela standing awkwardly in the corner, I waved her over and all the popular girls looked in disbelief as I introduced her to my sisters. The teacher told us to do five laps around the track to warm up, I did a fake stretch and limber up sequence and started jogging with the others, even at a vampire snail pace we were still a few metres ahead. I pulled ahead slightly in front of my sister's because of the wolf thing, I guess, it could never be explained, until now.
"Cat, " I said, we lost a panting lauren malloroy, who narrowly avoided being trampled because we jumped over her, and the other's followed our lead. "Mr Banner, my Biology teacher, he thinks we're part of some big italian mafia or something," we giggled over this.
"Yeah, just call me the goddaughter," she said with a smirk. At the end of Gym class, the teacher announced that cheerleading tryouts were at lunchtime, of course, Cat wanted to join. "it'll be like all those movies we used to watch back home!" she announced, there was no arguing with the no-shit face.
I went back to the changing rooms and got changed, keeping my trainers on, taking a big swig from my water bottle and heading back out onto the field for Caitlin's tryout. I pulled out the CD, My First Kiss by 3OH! 3 ft. Ke$ha, popped the lid of the boom box, and slid it in, turning it up to full volume . I sat down on the bench with the coach and squad on one side and Hayley and Angela on the other. Angela had her camera out, ready to take some pictures.
Caitlin had changed into the school cheerleading uniform, short, black and red cropped top with a large white Spartan's 'S' on the chest and a short black skirt with a scarlet trim around the edge. She winked at me and I pressed play.
She stood tapping her foot as the song began, getting into the rhythm. She dropped down into a crouch as Ke$ha began and slowly got up, rippling her torso as she went, arms crossed loosley over her head. When she was up again she put one hand on her hip and bent at the waist. She slowly pivoted her hips until she was upright again and pushed the stray hair from her face. As the guy started singing again she put her hands out in front of her. she let herself fall backward and caught herself on her hands, kicking one leg up as she did. She flipped up into a handstand and pushed herself back onto her feet, putting one hand on her hip again. When the courus started she took a few steps back and did three one armed flips in a row, then three backflips. She did a cartweel forwards and did a no handed flip backward. As the chorus ended she put both hands on her hips and pivoted them in a full circle twice. Then Ke$ha sang a verse while caitlin dropped her hands from her hips and smiled. no more sailers, she saluted, winking. No more soldiers, she stood to the side making a gun with her fingers. With your name tattooed up on his shoulder, she rolled her shoulder backwards and forwards. She kicked up and flipped backwards again, Cartwheeled a little and danced about a little playfully. With my fingers in your hair, she ran her fingers through both sides of her hair, tilting her head back a little. She flipped four times in a row backward, then jumped the distance back to where she had been standing and landed on one knee, looking down. she slowly looked up, then started to get up. Angela was snapping pictures like crazy at this point, replacing film like she was reloading a machine gun. At the end of that chorus, she kicked her leg up right up close to her face and held it there for a few beats. As they started singing again, she actually kissed, then twisted her hips, I couldn't help but smile at that. She had a little fun with the last chorus, dancing, twisting, flipping. At the very end, she jumped and did the splits, blowing a kiss at a passing hurdle jumper, who promtly ran into the gate he was supposed to jump. She giggled, and went over to talk to the coach, I congratulated her and went to see if the hurdles guy was ok.
Demetri POV
I was running around the track at a really rather tedious pace, jumping the trivial little gates with ease but trying to make it look hard for the benefit of my human coach who was training me for regionals. Edward, Emmett, Jasper and Jack were all sarcastically cheering me on from the sidelines. Bastards.
I heard a few bars of a song I really liked and listened to frequently on the radio, but I couldn't quite place the name. I looked over to see a really hot girl doing a routine out on the field, she was laughing and swiveling her hips in time to the music, and before I realised it, I found myself staring.
"Focus, Demitri," Shouted Coach Swyer and I narrowly avoided missing my next gate. I kept looking back over my shoulder at her as she went through her routine. She wasn't just hot, she was beautiful, long black, red and white hair that stood out against her porcaline skin. She finished her routine as I passed her side of the track, she did the splits and blew a kiss in my direction. I would have usually winked, or whistled or done anything other than what I ended up doing. Tripping over the hurdle and landing on my...self. It was something about looking into those eyes that made me completly forget everything. She giggled at me and skipped off to talk to her coach. I felt a han on my back and I propped myself up to see who it was. Another girl with dark brown hair and pale skin and dark brown eyes.
"Hey, are you okay?" she asked, crouched down beside me.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I said bruesquely, shrugging her hand off, " go bother someone else, preppy," I instantly felt bad for being such a dick, but I had a crack healing on my arm, my brother's were making cat calls and calling me 'Demi' which is a nickname I really hate and that awesomely hot girl had just laughed at me and walked away, I probably would have done the same thing, but still, I was pretty pissed anyway, and I was taking it all out on this chic who had just come over to help me out.
"Fine, Jackass, I just came to see if you were ok, my sister felt bad for making you trip and wanted me to apologise for her, but you know what? screw you!" she retorted, she was really pissed. I realised, as she walked away, that she looked a whole hell of a lot like Uley, almost identical in fact. I shook it off, plannng to figure it out later, and jumped back up on my feet, pretending to wince in pain for Swyer's benefit. Emmett and Jack made a show of helping me to the changing room and we all got changed and went to class.
I stood frozen in the doorway with my backpack slung over one shoulder and my hands in my pockets. Preppy and hot cheerleader chic were sitting in my row. Oh hell, what did preppy say about her sister tripping me? Prep spotted me first and muttered something to Her sister, who glanced up at me and said something back, Preppy replied sharply and Cheerleader looked back up at me kinda angry. I didn't even know her name and she was already pissed at me, great! I went and took my seat next to Cheerleader Chic, feeling really awkward. The English teacher, miss Wagner, introduced Preppy as Chloe Volturi and Cheerleader Chic as Caitlin Volturi. The lesson passed excruciatingly slowly, but as I watched Caitlin leave the room beside Chloe I seemed to regret the lesson coming to an end at all. I gathered my things and went to Chemistry, the class I had with Edward and Jack. I was thankful when the bell rang, there was a party down at La Push tonight and the lads and I were really looking forward to it, obviously, so were the girls, alice and rosalie. Speak of the pixie, when I got home, Ali was nowhere to be found. I was told she was visiting some friends, so I went upstairs for a post-school pre-party chill out session before throwing on a pair of jeans and a skin tight black muscle shirt and trainers. Alice was still MIA, and Jazz told me she was coming with some friends, so we'd meet her there. I shrugged and climbed into my car, checking my hair in the mirror before speeding off.
Caitlin POV
I arrived home, thrilled with my recent acceptance to the cheerleading squad, there was a girl with short black hair on the porch, waving at us as we pulled in. I looked over at Chloe, she shrugged, looking just as confused as me. We all unbuckled our seatbelts and hopped out of our cars.
"hi," she began taking a deep breath, then started talking at light speed, "I'm alice Cullen, Carslile's kid, he said it was ok to come see you, I hope it is ok?" she ploughed on without waiting for a reply, still talking at warp speed, "Ohmyfreakinggod! I love your cars! I wish I had one so cool, I want a porche, but I've already got two cars so Carslile says I have to wait a few years. I love this top, where did you get it? Oooooh, I love your boots but..." she giggled
"What?" asked Chloe, raising an eyebrow, obviously amused by the little stranger.
"I think my boyfriend, Jasper, has the same ones," we all burst out laughing
"Caitlin, Chloe, Hayley," I introduced us all, "do you wanna come inside?"
"YAY!" she yelled, wow, excitable much? I really liked this girl. I took out my key and unlocked the door, letting it swing open, we all entered. Alice nattered about our decor while we dumped our bags at the front door and showed her to the living room. It was a very warm room with dark latte coloured walls covered in caramel, light brown and cream coloured swirls. The rug was a fluffy cream and coffee colour, with dark hardwood floors beneath. Our coffee table had a quaint little terracotta bowl of pouperie and the gas fire was on full blaze. There was a picture of each of us on the mantel. Alice looked as if her head was gonna explode, but she just giggled and plonked herself down on the chocolate, leather sofa, the light from the huge bay windows glinting off her crazily white teeth.
"So..." she said, I braced myself for another alice verbal onslaught, here it comes, "Are you guys coming to the party at La Push tonight, you know, the one Sam Uley is hosting? you know, I have my fine southern cowboy but I gotta admit, he is hawt!" She exclaimed, Chloe choked on her laughter. "What?"
"Sam is..." Chloe struggled to contain her mirth, " Dude, he's my brother," Alice's mouth hung open for a few moments. I could hardly believe it, she was speechless! this was definatly a first for Alice Cullen.
"OMFG! wow, I see where you get your looks from, and your fine ass," We all burst out laughing, alice included.
"Alice," Chloe said, still laughing, just slightly less hysterically than before, "you crack me up! I think this is the start of a long and beautiflu friendship.
"Yep," I nodded in agreement, so did hayley. She was smiling in a strange way, kind of half smiling, but it was the first real smile I'd seen cross her face since we left italy.
"Ladies, shall we go upstairs ang get ready, we have less than an hour and a half!" Squealed alice, we all nodded in unison. "ok that is kinda freaky!" she giggled and picked up a small kitbag, which i guessed held her outfit and possibly makeup, and headed upstairs, into my room as if her crazy pixie fashion spidey senses were telling her to. We started with Hayley. Pulling her hair back into a long, high ponytail and doing her make-up and nails. She went to get changed and we started on Chloe, braiding her hair into a long plait that hung down her back and putting her makeup on, painting her nails with clear gloss rather than the bright scarlet waitress gloss we had put on Hayley's. My turn. The girls dolled me up properly. They also left my hair loose but wavy, They put some silver, slightly glittery eyeshadow on my eyes, a bit of mascara on my eyelashes, and some lipgloss on my lips, they did my nails clear with little gold, red and orange patterns in the corners. We did alice up, make-up, hair. But we didn't need to do her nails, they were already perfectly buffed and polished with a little green cat on each thumb.
I was wearing a white blouse, small black waistcoat, plus a pair of black sandles and a mini skirt. I pronounced 'Hawt!' by alice. Hayley wore a red floaty dress with a tight black belt and black sandals. Chloe was wearing a black t-shirt, black leather jacket with a plaid lining, a pair of ripped denim shorts that came down to about mid-thigh, maybe a little lower, a pair of black converses and a straw cowboy hat. I laughed at her addition. Alice was wearing a green t-shirt with black writing on the chest and a soft lilac wrap around skirt that knotted at her waist. We all had one of these in our bag for after we went swimming, each of us had a bikini underneath our outfit. The writing on the chest said 'What colour are my eyes?' to which we all cracked up laughing all over again.
Chloe took alice in the lotus while I took Hayley in my Audi. I pulled up at the beach parking lot as Chloe and Alice jumped out of the car. The party was in full swing. People dancing, people swimming and wind surfing, barbques wafting smoke high into the air. It was great. Chloe spotted sam and we all ran down the little sand dune at the edge of the car park to meet him.
"Hey Clo!" He said, lifting her into a big bear hug. They had only known eachother a short time, they were still getting used to eachother, but they were definately acting like brother and sister, at last. He handed us all a beer from his cooler and got back to work at his barbaque, promising to see us in a bit. Alice led us over to where a group of people sat, all unearthly beautiful and pale with golden eyes. They all rose as we walked up. Alice skipped over to them and into the arms of a tall, lean man with a mop of golden hair, who planted a smacking kiss on her lips. She giggled and turned towards us, introducing us in turn. First there was Carslile, dressed casually in a light cotton shirt and a pair of khaki shorts, he looked so strange in casual clothes. Beside him was a beautiful woman with long, wavy caramel hair framing her heart shaped face. She pulled us each into a hug. The next I was shocked to find, was hurdles guy. He was looking just as suprised as me, his jaw dropped to the ground, I put my hands on my hips and frowned at him, chloe did the same and so did hayley, having been filled in on all the details through Chloe's gift, having a conversation through thought. I remembered when he walked into the classroom.
he stood in the doorway, backpack slung over one shoulder, looking hot as hell.
"Oh, no sista," said Chloe, recognising the look on my face "He is a grade-a asswipe,"
"yeah, I know, He's just so damn hot!" I replied, looking back at him,
"yeah, still, he. is. a. prick!" she replied, and that was the end of the matter. I ignored him all lesson, nobody insults my sister and gets away with it. I felt his eyes on the back of my head as we left class, as soon as the bell sounded.
it turned out 'grade-a asswipe' was actually called demitri, and he kept on staring at me. The next was a Tall, muscular guy with bronze hair, he looked a little moody but still greeted us warmly. The next was a man, around the same height as Edward with medium length black hair and a smirk. His name was Jack, and he kept his eyes fixed on Chloe the entire exchange. The next was a big burly man with thick curly hair and a wide smile, he went by the name of Emmett. Beside him was his mate, a tall, slender geourgeous blonde called Rosalie, who smiled courteously but offered no other welcome. Next to them was the tall, blond man, Alice's mate, Jasper. We all looked down at his shoes and bust into a fit of giggles. They were exactly the same as Chloe's.
"I'll explain later babe," Alice told him, planting another kiss on his lips, that seemed to distract them. "Now, who wants to go for a swim and a surf?" She asked as their kiss came to an end. We all agreed, Esme and Carslile opting to stay, and we stripped down to our bikini's and running off hand in hand to the shore, leaving a group of guys staring awestruck at us, before putting off their shirts and trousers, running down the beach after us like a pack of wild animals. A splashing war began, then a few games of chicken, then a couple of races. We all decided to go cliff diving before it got dark. We raced to the top and Emmett won. When we all got to the edge, Rosalie announced there was no freaking way she was jumping off that!
"Like hell you won't!" said Emmett scooping her up and jumping off the cliff with her in his arms. We all laughed to kill ourselves. Jack was next, cannonballing into the water with a massive splash. As Jasper peered over the edge so Alice and Edward pushed him over the edge, laughing like hyenahs. Then Edward Picked alice up and chucked her over, she squealed and struggled and screamed the whole way down. As Edward admired his handiwork and Class A buttwipe amused himself with the scene, Chloe and I pushed them, they screamed like little girls. We looked at eachother, then back at hayley who shrugged her shoulders and ran forward, leaping off feet first. I did an elegant version of Jack's cannonball and went deep underwater. When I resurfaced, I met Alice's grinning face, then turned my attention to the cliff. Chloe performed a perfect swan dive, which is weird 'cause we were never really big on didving or swimming lessons. As she resurfaced, I paddled over to her.
"What was that?" I demanded, she shook her wet hair like a dog.
"Absolutely no idea," she replied, we played around a little more until it was nearly sunset, we swam back to the shore and got dried off. I put back on my blouse and tied the serpent green wrap around skirt around my waist. Chloe put her shorts back on and Hayley put on her blood red skirt on. The sky was definately darkening now and a large square of the beach was lit by fairy lights, as a makeshift dancefloor. There were picnic tables all around it and barbaques still going on, someone was setting off fireworks and handing out sparklers, huge bonfires were being lit all the way down the beach. It was amazing. I took another few beers from the cooler box and handed them around, we all drank appreciativley. I was feeling the alcahol now, but only slightly, so I pulled the girls over to the dancefloor and we started jamming to Tik Tok by Ke$ha. One by one, Ali and Rosalie left with their partners. Hayley wandered off in search of another drink and Chloe and I were left dancing together. Demetri sidled up to us, seemingly dancing around us in an attempt to draw my attention. Chloe looked at me, raising an eyebrow, I raised two and she left me alone with him, it was the sign language we made up as kids.
"well, hello, beautiful," He said, laying the charm on thick, and moving closer to me.
"well, hello, Jackass," I said, continuing to dance and trying to ignore his smirk, his hotness and the intense draw I felt towards him.
"Hey, now, what did I do?" He asked defensively, I jerked my head towards Chloe, who was sitting on the bench next to Edward. The smile fell from his face. "Uh, yes. I am sorry about that, I was pissed off and proud and defensive, I'm sorry for insulting her. And you" he said, and he sounded so sincere that I had to forgive him. We started to dance to the techno crap that was pounding through the speakers. At the end of the song we were laughing so hard. A voice came over the speakers.
"We're gonna slow it down a little," The voice said, and the slowed down version of beautiful disaster by kelly clarkson. Demetri and I looked at eachother awkwardly as other couples started dancing. He shrugged his shoulder's as if to say 'what the hell' and put both of his hands on my waist and pulled me close to his chest, I reached up and put my arms around his neck, resting my head against his shoulder as we twirled slowly. As the song ended he released me, somewhat reluctantly, and held out his hand which I gladly took and led me away, we had a drink and talked a while. I wanted to remember this night in all it's perfection so I chose not to drink any alcahol, only coke. Little did I know, some bastard had spiked both our drinks with 70% vodka, enough to get us sloshed both with one sip.
Chloe POV
I left Caitlin with the prick, and trust me, I was not happy with it. but whatever, she'd given me the signal to go, and god knows she could handle herself, but my protective older sister instincts were screaming at me, telling me not to leave her alone. But I did anyway. I grabbed myself a cup of coke and walked back to the tables around the dance floor. I sniffed my drink and tipped it out on the floor. Vodka, strong Vodka.
"Hey," I said to Edward when I spotted him sitting alone, "you mind if I sit here?"
"by all means, sit," he said, patting the seat beside him absently. I climbed up, imitating him and sitting on the tabletop with my feet perched on the seat of the bench. Some techno crap started pounding through the speakers, Edward and I winced simultaniously and laughed. "not a fan of techno?" he asked.
"No freaking way," I said, making an exaggerated shudder that he chuckled at. "piano, guitar, I can play others but not as well" I said,
"Mostly piano, I can play others, just not as well," he said with a smile, I grinned along with him. We got into an animated conversation about music, then cars, books and baseball. Ending with us going out on to the dance floor and me watching him bob around like an idiot. A guy who was obviously drunk stumbled over and grabbed me around the waist and he wouldn't let go for anything. Edward was telling him to let go, but he kept on leering and rubbing up on me.
"Call," Yelled a gruff voice that I knew oh too well, " Get your drunk ass hands off my sister," it was sam, the guy immediately dropped his arms and scurried off muttering apoplogies. He collapsd about half way down the beach and just stayed there. wow, guy didn't hold his beer too well, then I remembered the spiked coke. "Are you ok?" asked sam, putting an arm around my shoulders. I nodded, "well, there's someone I'd like you to meet, if you have the time?" he flashed his pearly grin at me and I grinned back. Then I turned to Edward.
"Uh, yeah. This is my brother, Sam. Sam, this is my good friend, Edward," they bumped fists like true guys and I muttered a quick 'see ya 'round' before Sam carted me off to meet this mysterious stranger. We came to a clearing just beyond the beach, the music was just a distant echo in the background. Sam let go of my shoulders and walked around to bring his stranger into view. She was beautiful and tall, with dark brown eyes and black hair, sam had his arm around her waist.
"Emily, meet my little sister, Chloe. Chloe, this is my fiancee, Emily," She pulled me into a hug, practically jumping up and down, so excited to meet one of Sam' family at last. As she pulled back, I notcied she had a long, puckered line down the side of her face, it looked like she'd been scratched. or clawed. I decided I would find out later, but for the moment, Emily and I were talking and laughing. Sam looked pleasd that we had really hit it off. An hour passed quickly and I excused myself. Sam gave me the key to my room in cabanna 7, I hugged him, then Emily, and promised to come to their house for dinner on monday.
I walked up to Cabanna 7 and went to the room I thought was mine. Boy, was I wrong. The doors opened on a universal key and I'd walked in on my sister and Demitri making out, naked in his room. I shrieked and went back behind the door. So disturbing!
"Demitri, please send my sister out with her clothes right now, I do not want a repeat of the disturbing little show I just got, so don't make me come in there!" I yelled through the gap in the door. Moments later, Caitlin walked out, clutching her clothes to her chest, obviously plastered. I led her to my rightful room and let her get changed. I gave her a glass of water and asprin. After a half an hour nap, she was sober to come out again. I needed to find Hayley, first and foremost. We walked outside and I was too bloody tired for all this, I cracked a bottle of beer and was about to drain the bugger when I spotted Hayley. Making out with Paul behind Cabanna 3. I sighed angrily, handed my un-sipped beer to some preppy freshman and marched over with Caitlin on my heels. I tapped him on ths shoulder and the drunk ass turned to face me, and I socked him in the gob, knocking him the fuck out. I rubbed my knuckles and marched them both to the Cabanna. There were three beds, and we all took one, falling asleep instantly. I honestly couldn't wait till morning.
