I Want My Happy Ending
Chapter
5
Alice led me outside to a very large garage and ordered
me to get in a silver Volvo. "I'm sorry that you are stuck in
this Bella." she said sounding like she was to blame.
I
sighed, "There is nothing to be sorry about. I was simply in the
wrong place at the wrong time."
After an awkward silence she asked, "So, do you have any more questions?"
"Tons," I replied, still confused about what had happened.
"Go ahead." she encouraged.
I didn't know what to ask first. There were just so many questions jumbled up in my head. Well, they are all random why not just say one, "Why weren't you at school yesterday? Was it because of the sunlight?"
"Yes, but it's not what your thinking. We don't burn up in the sunlight. We sparkle." she smiled.
"Really?" I asked. She nodded enthusiastically.
"So, if Carlisle and Esme are husband and wife then what does that makes you, Jasper, Edward, and Taylor?" I asked.
"Well, our cover up is that we are adopted. But Jasper and Rosalie are foster children and are actually Esme's real niece and nephew." Alice said.
She would have said more but I interrupted, "Aren't Jasper and Rosalie a little old to be foster children."
Alice held back a chuckle, "Well we have, quote on quote, 'had them sense they were eight'." Alice laughed her laugh that sounded like bells.
"What's so funny?" I questioned.
"We can't age." she said laughing some more.
"Oh." I said
"Earlier it seemed like Edward and Taylor were... together. The same with you and Jasper." I told her.
"You know, you observe things very well." she complimented. "Jasper and I are together, married in fact. And you were partly right when it comes to Edward and Taylor. You see Taylor wants Edward." she grimaced "But Edward doesn't want Taylor. Taylor knows that but when she was human she got what ever she wanted." she mumbled under her breath, "Spoiled brat."
"You don't like Taylor do you?" I asked.
"You do recognize things well. I will have to mask my emotions around you." Alice smiled.
"Well, I wouldn't have been able to tell if you would have acted the way you did with Taylor in the car. You seemed like best friends." I commented.
"You have no idea how hard that was. The only reason Taylor didn't blow up in my face was because I remained as quiet as possible and laughed at all her jokes. She was spoiled and nothing good ever comes out of spoiling a child rotten." Alice informed me.
"Why did Edward get so frustrated on the street?" I wondered.
Alice laughed, "Edward gets frustrated a lot but this put him over the edge. I'm sure Carlisle told you he can read minds?" she asked. I nodded. "Well, Edward can't read your mind."
"Oh yea, Carlisle told me about that."
"Do you know why Alice?" I asked hoping something wasn't wrong with me.
"Nope, I think your mind might work differently." She questioned.
Then here was a tap on the window. Edward just stood there looking a bit aggravated.
"Alice, I don't know if I can manage with her in the car." he confided.
"You can do it, I checked." she pointed to her head. "But if it makes you feel safer Emmett can ride with us."
"Who is Emmett?" I asked.
Then a big bulky man bounded into the garage, he looked like one of those body builders you would see in magazines, very scary. "Emmett, you're riding with us today!" Alice yelled ignoring my question completely. Or was she? I just found out who Emmett was.
Emmett jumped into the car and smiled a huge smile at me, "Why is there a cute little meal with legs here?" he asked Alice.
"I am not a meal." I said before thinking. Everyone laughed except Edward.
"Well, really you are. But we won't eat you." Alice chirped. Taylor jumped into the passenger's seat and we were off to school.
About half way there I was asking questions until Taylor turned around and yelled at me, "If you don't shut up you inferior human, I will personally gorge your eyes out with a spoon and suck you dry!" Her voice was icy cold.
Emmett glared at her, "Shut up, she might be my new little sister soon!"
"Oh, sure Emmett she'll be your little sister if Edward and I don't kill her first!" she screamed. I started to cry. All this was too much, I wasn't going to tell their secret. What did this Taylor girl have against me? I was angry so the tears flowed, I pushed them back in. No need to cry now, you have to look strong.
"I would not hurt her and I am appalled that you would suggest such a thing!" Edward said outraged. I don't know why but I felt pleasured that he had stuck up for me.
"Edward she is an inferior human who is going to ruin our family!" she screamed.
"OUR FAMILY?!?! I AM THE ONLY ONE THAT CARES ABOUT THIS FAMILY AND YOU ARE ONLY HERE BECAUSE YOU WANT ME!!!! THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU EVER CALL THIS OUR FAMILY BECASE I WILL NEVER SHARE ANYTHING WITH YOU!!!! GET OVER IT!!!!" Edward boomed.
Taylor was speechless and Emmett and Alice were dumbfounded. That is until Emmett started whooping and Alice started whistling. Taylor glared back at me her eyes full of fury. Her hand rose. Everything happened so fast that my brain couldn't calculate what was happening until it happened. Taylor went to slap me but Alice jumped in front of me and took the beating.
Emmett stared at Taylor for a long time before in a flash coming to the other side of the car, pulling her out, and punching all the while saying, "Don't... touch... my... sisters..." I some what had a new respect for Emmett. He didn't seem scary any more, just protective. Hey, I get a brother and get to watch the crap get beeten our of Taylor all in one day! I think I like knowing vampires!
