I've Changed

Chapter Three: I'm not a Little girl Anymore

Alec's P.O.V.

Sitting in my bedroom, I waited. I had already fed before the sun had come up this morning and I had already changed out of my bloodied clothes. The homework that Skye had given me on Friday was completed and in my backpack. Her backpack was next to mine on the floor so that I wouldn't forget it. School didn't start for almost two hours and there wasn't anything to do. It only took my fifteen minutes to get to school. Sighing, I flopped back on my bed and closed my eyes. Suddenly, my phone buzzed downstairs where it was charging on the kitchen counter. Getting up, I zipped downstairs and picked up my phone. I had a text from Skye. Opening it, I read what it said.

Morning, r u goin 2 skool 2day?

I smiled and hit reply:

Yea, I have ur backpack here. How r u getting 2 skool?

Making sure that is sent, I set my phone back down on the counter. Since there wasn't anything to do, I hopped up in the counter next to my phone. Tapping my fingers on my legs, I waited for Skye to reply. A minute later, it buzzed. Picking up my phone I read the next message.

Prolly walking. Jason went 2 Caine's house last night.

Instead of replying with a text, I called Skye. She answered on the first ring.

"Hey."

"Hey. How about I come over and pick you up and take you to school instead of you walking?" I asked, jumping down from the counter so that I could pace as I talked to Skye. (1)

"You don't have to do that, I can walk the school isn't that far from my house." she replied.

"I know, but I want to."

She sighed, "Fine, you can pick me up and take me to school. Are we still up for tonight?"

"Yeah, where do you want to go?"

"I don't know. What do you have in mind?"

I thought fir a moment, "I really don't know. Why don't we figure that out after school?"

"Okay"

"'Kay, when do you want me to pick you up?"

"Um…I still have to take a shower, get dressed, eat and put on makeup, so, an hour?"

I laughed, "Okay, I'll see you in and hour then."

"See you then."

Hanging up, I stopped pacing. A look at the clock showed me that I still had fifty-five minutes left until I had to leave to pick up Skye. What was I going to do until then? I sighed, I was right back where I was before Skye texted me. I guess I could put the backpacks in the car, I thought, but that isn't going to take that much time. Deciding that putting the backpacks in the car was better than standing around doing nothing, I set my phone back on the counter and made my way up to my room to grab the bags. Since I was trying to waste my time, I walked at human speed, maybe even slower. I had just grabbed the backpacks when I heard my phone go off again downstairs. Thinking that it was Skye calling me back, I used my vampiric speed to get back downstairs so that I could get to my phone before it went to voicemail. Dropping the bags on the floor, I grabbed my phone; and groaned. It wasn't Skye, but Jane who was calling.

I answered, "What do you want?"

"That's not a nice way to answer the phone when your sister calls."

"Why are you calling me Jane?"

"I just wanted to tell my brother good morning," she paused. "And that I'm going to be visiting him soon."

No, she couldn't visit. "Why do you want to visit me?"

Jane laughed, "Because I already made my choice and you need to make yours, soon."

"Who have you chosen?" I asked, hoping that the questions I was asking about the new additions to the Volturi would distract her from coming to visit me.

"Two boys. They're twins, like us."

"And their powers?"

"A mind reader like Edward and a teleporter."

"Teleportation can come on handy." "I know,. I was very surprised when I found out that he could do that."

"Its great that you found your two additions. Now, if you don't mind, I have to go to school and find my two," I said, hoping that she would forget about visiting me.

"Okay, but don't forget, I will be stopping by to visit you soon," with that, Jane hung up.

No, she can't come here, I thought, if she did then she would find out about Skye and I know that wouldn't turn out very well. If Jane does come, then I just have to keep her away from Skye. "Why does that sound easier said than done?" I said out loud to myself.

Looking at the clock, I saw that it was almost time for me to head over and pick up Skye. Jane and I must have been talking for longer than I thought. Unplugging my phone from its charger, I picked up the backpacks and headed towards the door. After making sure that the door was locked, I put the bags in the trunk and got in the driver's seat. Starting the car, I backed out of the driveway and headed towards Skye's house.

~Time Jump~

Pulling into the Skye's driveway, I parked the car, turned it off and got out. Walking up the sidewalk, I got the feeling that I was being watched but every time I turned around, no one was there. I shook the feeling off and stepped up to the door. Just as I was about to ring the doorbell, the door opened. Skye stood in front of me wearing a scarlet v-neck sweater, a jean skirt, black leggings, and black converse. I pulled her close to me and kissed her head. "You look nice today."

"Thank you."

"Are you ready or do you still need to do some things?"

"I just have to do something with my hair."

I looked down at Skye's damp, wavy, black hair. "It looks fine, Skye."

"You're just saying that."

"No, I'm not, it really looks fine. But if you want to do something to it, then go ahead."

Skye sighed, "Just let me dry it and straighten my bangs."

I laughed, "Okay."

Skye smiled and pulled me along behind her into the house. She left me by the stairs so that she could go upstairs and finish getting ready. I walked down the hall and looked at the pictures that were hanging there along the wall. Most of them were recent but there were some from when Skye and Jason were younger. In one of them, it was Halloween. Skye was dressed up as a princess and Jason was dressed up as a pirate. I couldn't imagine Skye dressing up as a princess for Halloween now. Hearing Skye coming down the stairs, I turned and smiled.

"I'm ready now."

I put my arms around Skye and kissed her lips, "You're beautiful my little princess."

She kissed me back but the slapped me when she realized what I had said. "I told dad to take the picture down," she mumbled as she walked out to my car.

~Time Jump~

"I'll meet you at the lunch table, I have to talk to someone about something I missed in class on Friday." I told Skye, when I spotted Edward leaning against a locker near me.

"Okay, but don't be too late," she said, following her brother and two friends down the hall.

I nodded and made sure that she was gone before heading over to Edward. "What do you want? Why are you here?"

"Why don't we go and talk someplace where we wont be disturbed," he replied, watching as student flowed passed us either on their way to lunch or their next class.

I have a stiff nod and followed him down the hall to an empty classroom. Once we were inside and away from the door, I turned to face him. "What do you want? Why are you here?"

"I was going to ask you the same thing, but since you asked me first, I guess I should answer then." he stated.

"Then answer them," I growled.

Edward chuckled, "Patience, Alec, patience."

I glared at him and he shrugged before continuing what he was going to say. "We're here because it was becoming obvious that that we weren't the age that we said we were. And all we want is to be able to live in peace for a few years before we have to move again."

I nodded, "That's understandable."

"Now tell me why you are here," he said, he demeanor changing form laid back good guy to pissed off good guy.

"I was sent here."

"By Aro"

I nodded but didn't say anything.

"Why? Why were you sent here?"

"I think you know the reason why."

"To add to the Volturi's numbers?"

I looked away, not wanting to admit to something that I didn't like. Suddenly my face was being held by Edward's hand, "Are you here to add to the Volturi's numbers or not? Answer me, Alec."

"Yes," I spat out.

"Shit," Edward mumbled letting go of my face and walking away.

I rubbed my jaw, "But I don't want to."

"What did you say?"

"I said that I don't want to. I don't want to add to the Volturi's numbers."

"Why wouldn't you want to add to the Volturi's numbers?"

I shrugged and looked away. Even if I told him why he wouldn't believe me, but he might be able to help me if I told him that I wanted out. "Even if I told you why, you wouldn't believe me."

"Just tell me."

"The only person that I've found that the Volturi would want is the only person that I've become close to since I got here. She isn't the kind of person that would want to be like me, a killer."

"You're lying," Edward said, walking towards me. "You would do anything for the Volturi."

I shook my head, "I'm not doing this."

Edward squinted his eyes, "You're telling the truth."

"I told you that you wouldn't believe me."

"Who is the girl that you've become close to?"

"Skye Linley."

Edward nodded, "Alice told me a little bit about her. She's your lab partner in Chemistry, right?"

I nodded.

Suddenly the lights flickered. Edward tilted his head for a moment before righting it and looking at me. "Looks like Skye is creating a commotion in the cafeteria. You might want to go see her."

I nodded and headed towards the door, I stopped short and turned around, "If I told you that I want out, so that I wouldn't have to change Skye, would you and your family help me?"

"Only if you weren't lying to us."

"Thank you." I was halfway out the door when I remembered something. "Jane called me this morning. She said that she would be stopping by soon. She doesn't know about Skye or about your family being here and I don't want her to find out."

"We can't exactly disappear for the time that Jane is in town."

"I know, I just wanted to let you know what she told me."

"How are you going to keep Skye from Jane?"

I shrugged, "I don't know."

There was a pause before Edward spoke again, "We'll try to help you if we can."

"Thank you."

` Edward must have nodded his head because he didn't say anything say anything. Walking out of the room, I was just able to catch the sight of Skye walking around the corner of the of the Freshman hallway. Deciding that is would be good to go after her, I quickly walked the way that she had. The lights in the Freshman hallway were still flickering but the ones in the Junior and Senior hallways weren't. I wonder why that is, I thought, turning down the hall.

Skye's P.O.V.

"Why are you ditching us for him again?" Jason asked, angry by what I had just told him.

"What are you talking about?"

"You ditched us Friday after school and now you're going to do it to us again? What is wrong with you?"

"On Friday I gave Alec the homework that he missed, what is so wrong with that?"

Jason opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

"Exactly, nothing is wrong with that. And as for after school today, we're just going to be hanging out. Like any normal boyfriend and girlfriend would."

Megan and Caine's heads snapped up from where they were trying to stay out of our argument. Jason shook his head and stood up, "You will not date him."

"You cant tell me who I can or cant date, Jason. I'm not a little girl anymore."

"You may not be a little girl anymore but you are my little sister and you will listen to me."

I stood up and slammed my hands down on the table. Lights flickered. "No, Jason, I won't listen to you. I control my own life, not you." I could tell he was about to say something else but I wasn't giving him the chance. "I'm going to hang out with Alec after school today and you cant stop me." With that, I turned around and stalked out of the cafeteria.

Everyone was silent. No one was making a sound. Everyone was watching me as I made my way out. I had just made it out of there when the first tear fell. Speeding up, I ran down the hall and around the corner. I went towards the part that was under construction since not many people went down there because of all the noise that the workers made.

Rounding the small corner where the bathrooms were. I leaned against the wall and slid down until I was sitting on the floor. Bringing my knees up, I wrapped my arms around them so that I could put my chin on the them. More and more tears fell now but I didn't try to stop them. I was sobbing so much that I didn't even hear it when someone walked up next to me. I only knew that someone was there when they out their hand on my shoulder. I looked up, expecting to see Jason standing there but instead I saw Alec crouched down in front of me.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Alec asked, voice filled with concern.

Since I couldn't answer him, I just shook my head. Alec sat down next to me and pulled me onto his lap. He held me as I cried and then wiped away the tears that were on my cheeks when I was able to calm down a little bit.

"Are you okay?"

I nodded and buried my head in his chest.

"What happened that made you cry?"

"It's nothing." I mumbled into his shirt.

"It isn't nothing if it makes you cry."

I sighed and leaned back so that I could see Alec's face, "Jason and I got into an argument at lunch."

"What did you guys have an argument over?"

Instead of saying it out loud, I poked him in the chest. At first he didn't get it, but once he did, he took my hand and kissed it. "I'm sorry that I was the cause of the argument between you and your brother."

"It's not your fault, it was Jason. He was being a jerk."

"You know we don't have to stay together, we could-"

"No," I said cutting Alec off, "I am not giving into my brother. Besides, I really like you." Leaning forward, I kissed Alec on the lips and pulled away.

Alec smiled, "Do you want to skip third and forth hour or do you want to try and hang in the rest of the day?"

"Hang in the rest of the day. I don't have any classes with Jason at all during the day so I should be fine."

"Okay, I think that lunch is almost over."

I nodded, "I'm just going to check myself over in the bathroom, then I'll go to my locker."

"Okay, I'll wait out here for you." Alec said as the bell ring.

I quickly went into the bathroom and looked myself over in the mirror. My eyes were slightly puffy from crying but that would go away as the day wore on. At least I had decided not to put on any makeup at the last moment today, I thought to myself. After making sure that my clothes didn't have any dirt on them, I walked away from the mirror and out of the bathroom. Alec was right where he had been before I had gone into the bathroom. Taking my hand, he led me down the hall towards our lockers. Alec didn't leave my side until I was at the door of the Spanish room where he kissed my forehead before heading off to his third hour. Only two more hours until Alec and I can hang out without anyone bothering us, I thought as I sat down at my desk.

~Time Jump~

"So what do you want to do tonight?" I asked Alec as I put my chemistry stuff in my backpack.

Alec, who was leaning against the locker next to mine, shrugged. "I don't know, what do you want to do?"

"Anything that can keep me away from Jason."

"You know you're going to have to face him at some point."

"I know, I just wish I didn't have to." I closed my locker and was about to put my backpack on when Alec took it from me and slung it over his shoulder. "You don't have any homework?"

"Nope, not even in chemistry."

"You better help me with chemistry, it's the only homework that I've got."

"Of course," Alec said with a smile as he put an arm around me waist as we headed towards the front doors.

We walked out to the car in silence. I knew that most of the students were probably watching us walking together but I didn't care. I loved Alec and nothing could change that. Once we reached Alec's car, he opened the passenger door for me and then closed it once I was inside. He made his way around the car to the driver's door where he threw my backpack into the back seat and then got in himself. I waited until we were in line to get out of the parking lot to ask Alec a question that I had been thinking about all day long. "You live alone, right?"

Alec glanced at me, "Yeah, why?"

"Do you think that I might be able to spend the night at your house tonight so that I don't have to see Jason?"

"I'm not sure that's a good idea."

"Please, Alec? It's not like my dad will care, he'll probably be at work late again tonight anyways. It's not like we have to sleep in the same room, I can sleep in a spare room or on the couch, I don't care. I just don't want to deal with Jason tonight."

He was silent for a moment, "Are you sure that your dad will be okay with it?"

"Yeah, I can call him if you want me to."

"You call him. I'm already heading towards your house so if he says yes, then we can get the thing that you will need."

I smiled, "Thank you." he nodded and I took my phone out. Scrolling through the contacts, I found my dad's cell number and called it. He answered on the second ring.

"Skye?"

"Hey, dad, sorry to bother you but I was wondering if I could spend the night at a friend's house so that we can help each other out with our homework?"

"Is it okay with their parents?"

"Yeah."

"Are you going to be staying up late?"

"No, it's a school night, why would we do that?"

"Then I guess its okay for you to spend the night."

"Thank you!"

"Your welcome, honey. Have fun."

"I will, bye."

"Bye."

Hanging up, I turned to Alec with a smile on my face. "He said that I can spend the night." "Did you tell him that you were staying the night at my house, as in that I'm of the opposite sex as you?"

"I told him that I was staying at a friend's house, and you are my boyfriend. And that we would be helping each other with our homework, and you are helping me with my chemistry homework. I never lied to him."

Alec sighed, "No, I guess you didn't lie to him."

"You don't sound too happy. Do you not want me to spend the night?"

"No, no, no, I just think that its to soon to be staying the night at each others houses but I can understand why you would want to."

"So what do you mean?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"That it is just fine that you are staying the night at my house. I just don't know what we would do for dinner because I don't have any food in the kitchen."

"Um… what about Curly's? We could have them deliver to your house."

"Okay, I'll call and order when you go inside to get your stuff. What do you want to eat?"

"A bacon cheeseburger with no fries, please," I said, getting out.

"Okay, I'll be waiting here."

I nodded and closed the door. I didn't bother grabbing my keys from bag because I hadn't locked the door this morning when Alec had picked me up. Walking inside, I hurried up the stairs and went into my room. I grabbed my black and purple duffel bag from my closet and started throwing the clothes that I would need in it. When I was done, I looked around my room to make sure that I didn't forget anything before I ran downstairs and out the door to where Alec was waiting.

(1) Am I the only one that does that?

Hope you guys likes that. Sorry it took so long to get it up, I had to type this from a notebook. It took like two days but I did it!
