Chapter 8

"Good God..." Natasha whispered. "Dammit, They are so F'n gah!" I exclaimed, slowly sinking into the seat, hoping they would go away.

"Ah... You still can't say the F-word either" Natasha chuckled lightly, keeping her eyes on my gawking "aunts" and "uncles".

"Shut the F up!" I hissed, as I watched Alice gracefully walk to my door. She gestured for me to roll the window down, with a patient smile.

Natasha and I exchanged fearful looks, and ever so slowly my hand reached for the button. Alice nodded encouragingly at me, and before my eyes I saw Emmet, Rosalie, and Jasper appear behind her.

"Why don't they just kill me already?" I mumbled, pushing the button down. The window slid down slowly and their faces became clearer. I suddenly regreted ever taking my contacts off, and washing the dye out. Which reminds me, maybe I should just use a wig instead... Hm...

"Hi everybody!..." I said, my voice high-pitched.

"M-Melody?" Emmet choked out, leaning closer.

"Hi Uncle Emmet" I smiled uneasily, scratching the back of my head.

"H-how long have you been in town?" Rosalie demanded.

"A few weeks, I even go to school" I blurted out, mind as well pour the truth out.

"We didn't see you" Jasper stated pointedly. "Yea you did" I corrected him.

"No we didn't" Emmet snorted. Alice watched me intently.

"Yea you did, I'm freakin Charlotte Withers" I said bitterly, slowly opening the car door. They backed away as I hopped out. I stared back at them, waiting for their reaction.

I rolled my eyes in annoyance, "What, no hugs?" I said innocently. Emmet roared, but I think it was more like laughter. He scooped me up in a very tight bear hug. "

"I can't believe that was you!" He said enthusiastically, and finally putting me down. I grinned as Rosalie pulled me in a hug, "Your still beautiful as ever and your eyes are dazzling" She said softly.

I pulled away slowly and Jasper hugged me awkwardly, and it lasted about 5 seconds. "Nice to see you, again" He nodded at me.

"Nice to see you too..." I mumbled. "Um... is Edward or Bella with you?" I questioned slowly.

"Yea! Their in the store with Gemma. Oh, they'll be so thrilled to see you" Emmet exclaimed. My hand started to twitch, causing me to pull it into a fist.

"Please don't tell them I'm here" I said softly.

"But why?!" Rosalie cried.

Alice put an arm around my shoulders, "She thinks that Bella and Edward replaced her with Gemma, and she does not want to feel pain anymore. So she decided to wear a disguise and stay away from them" Alice explained calmly.

"You don't have to be jealous" Jasper stated, I knew that he could feel it. So there was no way to deny it. I was about to open my mouth to say something, but...

"Melody their coming!" Natasha cried, I almost forgot she was there. My head snapped to the door and I saw Gemma, Edward and Bella exiting.

"Oh crap, see you at school!" I said quickly, and dove into the car. I slammed the door to a close and Natasha backed away, we drove out slowly for some reason.

I watched as Gemma rode on Edward's back, and Bella was holding his hand. They were all laughing about something, and it struck a chord inside of me. I could never be part of that family.

They weren't laughing anymore when they saw the Volvo. "WHO THE HELL DID THIS?!" Edward roared, yes, I could still hear him through the window.

Everyone looked puzzled, and Natasha was still driving like a snail. I watched as everyone got into a quarrel except for Edward, who was sniffing the air. His head snapped to my direction and before I could react Natasha was already driving 80 mph.

"I hope you heard everything I said to them, so you know what I've done" I muttered.

"I sure did! Damn Melody, you've been through a lot. You shouldn't take their crap" Natasha advised.

I sighed heavily, "Could you just drop me off at home? Kailey is probably worried" Natasha nodded and she drove faster.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

I gave her directions to my house and before I knew it she was parked in the driveway. "Well, I'll see you soon" I said, giving her a hug.

"Alright, see you Melody!" Natasha waved as I hopped out. I rushed through the front door and found Kailey in the kitchen.

"Hi Mom!" I said, forcing my voice to e cheerful. I gave her a hug and she stank badly.

"God mother, you need to shower!" I sniffed.

"I just did, a few minutes ago" She stated, and I noticed her damp hair.

"Oh..." I breathed out.

"Um... honey, I have something to tell you..." She said.

"Yea?"

"Were going to dinner with the Cullens on Sunday" She said nervously. My eyes widned, NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

"WHAT?!" I screamed.

"I know you don't like them, but please can you come with me?" She begged. My mind was jumbled and my emotions mixed.

"I'll give you some time to think about it, I'm going to go out on a stroll and when I come back you better give me an answer" She said grabbing her coat.

"But it's 8 p.m.!" I cried after her, as she exited the house. "UGH!" I cried in frustration as I sped to my room.
