APOV (Alice Platt)

As I bit my lip as Carlie tried to compose himself. That's what my siblings and I call him now. Carlie! See isn't it cute?

"Now, I only have 2 requests. Well not requests, but some moral support for these suggestions" Carlie said. Huh?

"Well, kids, you know how we haven't been to church lately right? Grandma Stacia has been on my case about that along with Grandpa Paul. Anyway, we need to at least go to the the service before we leave for our camping trip" he said.

"What?" my family chorused. We seem to be doing that a lot lately. Anyway, church? Camping? What?

"Ok" the Cullens smiled.

"I want to see Miss Marie and Drew again" Rose said. The older kids nodded.

"Ok. Carlie, let me get this straight. We're supposed to go to church? You know where the dude talks about god? I'm an atheist!" Ryan exploded.

"Kids, maybe we can change. That's probably why you all are so fucked up" Mom said.

"Mom" we all groaned.

"You know you all are. Now we are giving this a chance"

"Mom! No! We aren't religious! We never have been!" Cassidey pointed out.

"Yeah!" we all said.

"Guys, please, just for Dad and Esme. I think it'll make them really happy" Victoria said. Oh no she didn't?

"Oh no you didn't" Emmett said in a girly why with you Z-formation snap.

"With a Z-formation" I sang. Emmett and I high fived as Victoria just stared.

"Wait…you said camping? What?" Brianna asked. Camping? Me+Heels+hiking=broken ankle!

"It's a great idea for you all to bond and get to know each other better" Carlisle said.

"No!" "Hell no!" "It's a great idea!" "What the fuck is wrong with you two?" were what was said to Carlie and Mom.

"Um…I can't go outdoors…I…uh…got an allergy…to..uh…the outside world"

Ok who said that one?

"Y'all listen up! Ok we have arranged a campin' trip this week. No electronics. Which means no phones. iPods, laptops, game boys any of that. Only books or some music players or somethin'" Mom said. Wow, she slipped. Her southern accent getting into the way. Yup, momma's southern!

"No boom boxes?" Victoria asked. My family snorted. Who the hell says boom box?

"You can have a boombox. We're planned for this week, and we leave tomorrow. Get packing" Carlisle said. The Cullen's left and my family lounged on the couch and watched TV.

"Kids go pack." Mom said. We sat and were falling asleep. See how entertaining we are?

"Now, or I'll take away everything. I mean it this time. No Cassidey, you may not shove your ipod or phone down your bra again. That goes for all of you! Now move it!" Mom said. We all groaned and got up lazily.

I lifted my arms and made Emmett carry me up the stairs, I was too lazy. He did it anyway and threw me onto my bed. I saw Bella taking out her bright orange suitcase and open her drawers delicately then take out the neatly folded close and place them in her suitcase all folded and pressed and neat. I banged my drawers open, grabbed an armful and clothes in a jumbled mess, and chucked it in my suitcase. Taking my TOMS, Purcells, some heels, and my bedazzled running work out shoes that are so fugly! I took all 4 makeup bags, 2 makeup brush bags, and my one bag with my mirrors in it and put it in the zipper pocket. Then all my deodorant, toothbrush, floss, and other shit inside. Once I was done, I shut it, but oh yeah! The zipper won't zip!

"Fucking thing! Close!" I yelled. Bella glanced at me and went back to placing things inside neatly, organized, and gently.

"Alice" Mom called out bored. I rolled my eyes and tried to zip it shut. It wouldn't.

"You either packed too much, or it's all in a jumbled mess. You should've packed neatly and took the time and effort" Bella said and took some stuff from my, I mean, our bathroom.

"Emmett! Come sit on it to make it down!" I yelled.

"Ali!" he groaned and I heard his heavy footsteps come in and stand in front of me.

"BellaBoo!" he giggled.

"Uh…hi Emmett" Bella said softly and went back to packing. Please, my grandmother packs faster than her!

"Sit!" I and pointed. Emmett sat on it I had to have Bri come and sit on Emmetts's lap to make it go down. I zipped it and let out a gush of wind.

"That!" I said and sucked in a breath and panted, "was hard" I let out. Emmett, Bella, and Bri snorted.

"Mhm" they all said and went back to do their own thing. I was done.

"Um, we're going to church you should get dressed" Bella said. I nodded and went to the outfit was going to wear today. I had my denim cut off shorts with a nice neutral top and my 5 inch strappy heels. My hair was already cute so I just added some nice gold eyeshadow, some liquid eyeliner, mascara, and some pink lipstick. Just to kill some time, I did my nails black.

"Um, Alice, that's not appropriate for church" She said. She had on some True Religion jeans, a Organza grey ruffled blouse, velvet gem ballet flats, and her hair in his wavy messy bun. She had on some mascara, lip gloss, and a little bit of sparkle eye shadow. .I'm impressed. She's actually dressed nicely. And some style. She accessorized it with a Coach silver gray small purse, diamond stud earrings, Tiffany's chain link bracelet with a heard pendant, and a nice smile.

"Mom, I'm ready!" I called and dragged my suitcase downstairs. I put it with the others. Mine looked like it was about to explode.

"Ok! Everyone let's go!" Mom hollered and we all walked to the car.

"Just out of curiousity, how did your mother know that we were all ready by the time you were finished?" Rose asked. I turned and grinned.

"Czu I'm the last person to get ready. After I'm finished getting ready, everyone already is" I shrugged and went in the front seat of Edward's Volvo. I saw Carlisle tell something to is triplets and Jasper, Rose, and Bella walked toward Edward's Volvo. I grabbed my brother's hand and squeezed it. He bit his lip.

"Um…Daddy said we were to ride with you" Rose said. She was wearing some heans, a nice shirt, and some ballet flats. Eh, a little style.

"Uh…sure, get your asses inside" Edward said. We shared a glance and Edward started the car. We waited until every else left and Edward went over 100 MPH and I rolled down the windows, sticking my arms out. Edward changed the radio to Carry Out by Timbaland. I was laughing and screaming as Edward was 'Whoo!' screaming the whole entire time. Like he was rooting for his favorite baseball team. I was laughing and feeling the rush through my black locks.

"Um, Edward, would you slow down?" Bella asked. I snorted. We were going at 115 MPH but now we were going at 120 MPH

"You're going to kill us!" Jasper yelled over the pounding music.

"Oh chill out lover boy" I winked and giggled.

"Don' blame us when you get a damn speeding ticket! Asshole!" Rose said.

"Rose!" her siblings scolded.

"Oh shut up Malibu Barbie." I rolled my eyes.

"Edward! Cop!" Bella warned.

"Ha-ha, very funny Bella" Edward said lowering the music, it was still loud, but not that much.

"Edward, pull over!" Chief Swan said I his speaker thingy.

"Shit!" Edward yelled and pounded on his steering wheel as he pulled over.

"Hi Uncle Charlie!" Jasper and Rosalie grinned.

"Hey Rose, Jazz, how're you doing?" he grinned back.

"Hey, baby girl" he smiled softly to Bella in the backseat. Bella looked up and smiled softly.

"Hey Daddy" she said and smiled. Ok? A little confused.

"Hey Jazz, how are you doing? Wait…Cullen…Platt…my brother…oh fuck. You're the new step-siblings?" Chief Swan asked.

"Yup!" I smiled.

"I'm Uncle Charlie, Carlisle's brother. Now Edward, I will have to give you a ticket. And please, no more getting into trouble with the law. I don't want to see poor Esme bail you out….the for fourth time" he said.

df" he blamsfsdfed our oaf of a brother.

"Yeah, sure. Alright well drive safe. I mean it Edward" he said and went back to his cop car.

"Bella, sweetie, it's ok." Jasper told Bella. I saw Bella sit up and look to her lap.

"Uh, Bella, why did you just call your uncle 'Daddy'?" I asked. Huh?

"I don't want to talk about it" Bella whispsered. We all nodded and it was silent. Hopefully church won't be so bad.

Hey Brianna's outfit was cute! Sorry.

Hey! Hope y'all like it! :-D
