Everything belongs to Stephanie Meyer.
Hey guys! Thanks so much for all the reviews. The majority of you chose Jasper, though you'll just have to read to find out who I actually chose!
Congratulations sweetgal3 for guessing correctly on what was behind the door!
I walked further into the room and I couldn't believe it. It was a dance studio and it was beautiful. Although it looked like it hadn't been used in years. It was obviously old, and when I say old, I mean old. There were spider webs everywhere and cigarette butts.
There were even a few empty beer cans scattered throughout the room. The walls were chipping and it stunk pretty bad, but it was absolutely perfect. There was even an old sound system, though I doubt it still worked.
There were mirrors on three of the four walls and an old ballet bar lined the fourth one. The floor was wood and windows lined the top of three of the extremely tall walls. There weren't any connecting doors, so you couldn't get into the rest of the school building without going back outside, which I was happy for. I couldn't help but wonder why they had stopped using the room.
It was a lot bigger than it looked from the outside. It was so spacious. I ran my hand along the wall until I found the light switch, though nothing happened when I turned it on. The light bulbs had long since burnt out. I would have to get a huge ladder to replace them with how high the ceiling was.
I decided, then that I was going to fix this place up, so I could actually use it. My heart sped up at the thought of being able to dance again. I knew I had enough money to get some paint, lights, and maybe even put in some new windows, considering the fact that you couldn't even see out of the old ones anymore.
I would definitely need some help, though. I would need a guy who was unafraid of heights, knew how to paint, and how to install a window. This was too private for me to get Tyler or Mike's help.
I didn't know that I could trust Edward, Emmett, or Jasper, since all they seemed to care about was getting laid. And then I thought of Ben. He seemed pretty trustworthy and I was sure that if I asked him not to, that he wouldn't tell a soul about this.
"Oh, crap!" I muttered quietly. I'm supposed to meet Alice to watch the guys practice. I quickly pulled out my phone and checked the time. Thankfully, I had only been here for about a half an hour and the guys still had an hour and a half before practice was over.
I ran out and carefully closed the door, then ran the rest of the way down to the football field. I saw her sitting on the bleachers, texting furiously on her phone.
"Hey Alice," I said breathlessly, as I made my way to her and sat down.
"Where in the world have you been?" she asked the second my butt touched the metal, "Give me your number right now," she ordered.
"Alright, alright, it's nice to see you too by the way," I said sarcastically as I programmed my number into her phone and she did the same with mine.
"Yeah, yeah, so where were you? I was actually kind of worried, you know?" she said, seriously.
"Your right, I'm sorry. I just got a call from my dad. He was wondering why I wasn't home yet. That's all, nothing to worry about," I lied through my teeth. I then focused on the field and immediately recognized Emmett, considering he was the biggest guy on the team. He was incredibly graceful, despite his size.
"So, what are you doing tonight? You wanna come over again?"Alice asked. Thoughts of last night made me cringe.
"You know, Alice, I would really prefer to not have a repeat of last night. And anyways, I have some things I need to take care of, not to mention, I haven't done any homework since I've been here, so I probably shouldn't."
"Okay," she pouted, "But I want you to know that what happened with Emmett won't happen again. I promise. I'm sure he won't be bringing Lauren home anytime soon," she said with a mischievous smile on her face.
"What did you do?" I laughed, "Actually I take that back. I don't even want to know." All of a sudden a whistle blew and all the guys started heading off the field.
"Oh, yay, they got done early!" Alice said excitedly, "Come on lets go wait for them outside the locker room." She started dragging me down the bleachers. We had to wait for about ten minutes before Emmett came out.
"Hey," he said, freshly showered. His curls were still wet and he looked extra stunning. Alice just nodded and went back to watching the door, most likely waiting for Jasper. He walked up to me until there were only a few inches between us. I had to crane my neck to look at his face, "Hey," I answered.
"You coming over today?" he asked softly, while tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. This, of course, caused my face to flame.
"Uh, no I have stuff I have to do today," I said. "Look, Bells, if it's about what happened yesterday," just then Jasper and Edward walked out and Alice turned to us, "Alright, let's go!" she stated. Thank god for Alice. I walked around Emmett and started towards my truck, when I felt him grab my wrist.
"Do I get a hug today?" he asked with a dimpled grin.
"Emmett, it's only been a day," I said, causing him to frown, "But…maybe tomorrow." I let out a laugh at his pouting and went on to my truck.
"I'm going to hold you to that, Ms. Swan," he yelled across the parking lot.
"We'll see," I yelled out my window before making my way home.
As I pulled into my driveway, I decided that I would go to Jasper for help. I would have to make him swear to not tell Alice, though. I'm sure he would have trouble keeping any secrets from her.
When I got inside I booted up my computer to see how much it would cost to get new windows and where there was a hardware store in this tiny town. After searching for about thirty minutes, I realized that the closest place to get any was in Port Angeles. I could go do that any night this week and I would have to get paint while I was there.
I figured that was all I could do until I actually got the stuff to fix the studio, so I turned off the computer and started on the huge stack of homework I had been neglecting.
By the time I finished all of it, it was ten o' clock and I was starving. I went down and made myself a sandwich before I headed up to bed. As I lay there, looking up at the ceiling, I realized that I couldn't wait for tomorrow.
There's chapter 10! I hope you guys like it and don't forget to REVIEW!
