So I am back! Summer holidays are on so I thought I might as well get some chapters done. I am still working so it won't be very frequent but I will try my best =) And if someone is still willing to adopt the story then I don't mind.
I do not own Twilight.
So the next couple of months flew by. Arm and ribs were now better, Charlie and I were going strong and somehow I have managed to stay out of trouble. The first couple of weeks of going out with Charlie, I just got teased everywhere I went. Friends at school thought it was hilarious that we were going steady and loved to make jokes while at home everyone loved to tease me about my 'cute' relationship with my boyfriend. I will tell you now that it got old very quickly. I ended having a huge blow up at my family which put them in their place and my friends I can deal with.
I raced down the stairs heading straight for the front door, not bothering to go into the kitchen.
"Hey! You need to eat something for breakfast" Mum called out to me. God damn it!
"I'm going to be late, don't have enough time" I tried to get out of eating.
"Here eat this in the car" She said handing me a Danish.
"Come on Becca!" Rose said suddenly appearing, grabbing me and the Danish. "You're so slow in the mornings"
"It's a human thing" I explained
"Trust me, not all humans are this slow" Bella piped up as she speed down the drive way, the boys in tow. All I could do was grunt. I was really not in the mood for any bickering. The girls chatted away about some scandal Alice saw happen at school today but I wasn't really paying attention; I just stared out the window as all the trees zoomed past me in a blur. We were just about at school when my stomach rumbled.
"You were meant to eat that Danish mum gave you" Rose stated
"I'm not hungry" More don't want the calories you get from a fatty Danish
"Well your stomach would disagree with that" Alice laughed as once again it rumbled. I choose just not to answer, easier that way.
"Becca you need to eat" Rose said in a more concerned tone.
"I'm honestly not hungry" I wasn't convincing rose of anything though.
"Rose, she just woke up, her appetite wouldn't have caught up with her" Alice said defending me
"Exactly!" I said as I jumped out of the car and went to find my friends. I turned around to see Rose yelling at Alice, with her face changing to match Rose's concerned face. I didn't give much thought, Rose can think all she wants about me but I don't have a problem. I mean I try and get out of breakfast and occasionally throw up my lunch, if I have any and still eat my tea but I am doing less exercise and I don't want gain any more than I already have. I will just have to start doing runs in the morning as well to keep the weight down.
The feeling of a hand wrapping around got me out of my little day dream. I looked up to see Charlie smiling at me.
"Morning baby" Ok so I don't really like the nickname 'baby' but I just go with it.
"Hey Charlie" I perked up "Ready for another exciting instalment of school?"
"School and Exciting? In the same sentence? That just isn't right!" Cooper said as he caught up to us.
"You are too right! What was I even thinking?"
"You insane girl" Tillie said in a mocking tone
"I really just cannot be bothered with school today" I said, topping it off with a frustrated sigh.
"I couldn't agree more" Max mentioned. A sly smile stretched across his face, I was about to ask what he was thinking when Alice grabbed my arm.
"Excuse me, got to steal Becca for a bit" Alice said as she was dragging me away from everyone towards where Jazz was standing.
"Because I am a nice sister I am going to warn you, don't do what you are planning to do. It is not going to end well" Jazz and I just gave a confused look. I am planning to do nothing except do what I normally do.
"Whatever Alice" I said, quickly turning on my heals going back to my friends
"Hey! Watch that attitude of yours" Jazz called after me, trying to defend Alice but I wasn't having it. I just kept on walking without looking back. Maybe that is what Alice was warning me about. No doubt someone would have a world about this to me.
"What was that all about?" Charlie asked me when I met up with everyone again. They looked way more excited than before and a mix of fear as well.
"You know boring family stuff" Brushing it off.
"Anyway everyone agree?" Max continued on. Looks like I missed out on the reason for that evil grin of his.
There was a chorus of yes's, I still was so lost on was actually happening.
"What exactly is everyone agreeing on?" I asked Charlie as we got our books out of our lockers. That's when the bell rang, indicating we should now run to our classes.
"I'll explain later" He said as he planted a kiss on me lips and ran off. Didn't seem like I was going to get an explanation but I couldn't brush it off. I was rather nosy about things and this I was quite curious about so no way was I going to let it go. I ran to my class and planted myself next to Tillie. Surely I would be able to get an explanation out of my best friend.
"So what was that all about before?" I whispered to her. I watched her as she shifted in her seat, getting quite nervous.
"Well no one really can be bothered with school..."
"Yeah, worked that much out"
"So... Max thought we could all wag. Were leaving before 3rd period and we will be back for last period. You don't have to do it, I mean I'm still unsure if I going to do it" Ok so that why Tillie is nervous about. She, like me, is new to this whole rule breaking stuff. The others seem pro at it; keeping their cool, managing to stay out of trouble. Wait should I go? I mean Alice did warn me but want is the point in living if you can't have any fun or break a few rules. I'm a big girl, I can deal with the consequences.
"I'm in!" I replied to her.
"Ok, if you're in, then I am in" She said smiling at me. And with that we paid attention in class. There was no point in wagging if we got a detention or something. Time suddenly went quite fast knowing that we would be leaving soon. I tried my best to avoid any of the family in the hallways, just in case they could sense how nervous I was.
But soon enough third period came along and that was our cue to leave. We all swiftly left by ourselves, so we didn't look suspicious and all met up in front of the school gates. I felt so free! I could feel the adrenaline course through my veins and I could only let it out by bouncing around in circles.
"Ok, ok Becca we all are excited but can you stop the bouncing" Ella joked as she jumped on my back to keep me down.
"I can't help it! This is so exciting! So... now what ?"
"Well Charlie's house is close by and no one would be home, right Charlie?" Jenna said. I could tell she was making Charlie uncomfortable by nominating Charlie's house.
"Uhhh, I guess so" Charlie replied as he got backed into a corner.
So we all headed over to Charlie's. We didn't really do much, just chilled; Played wii, xbox, did some singing and dancing, some couples (aka Max and Jenna) disappeared for a while and made a mess in the kitchen while we made lunch. All in all a rather fun day, way better than lame old school. It was about time we should be leaving when Max decided to take things up a notch.
"So I was going to save this for after school but since we are having fun and all, this would be the perfect time" Max said. Everyone had blank faces, wondering what he was going on about. It wasn't until he revealed what was in bag that it became clear, a bottle of vodka.
"Who's keen?" Max continued. My stomach just sank. It was one thing to try and hide that I wagged but to hide alcohol would be somewhat impossible; they would all smell it on my breath and even in my blood. I made eye contact with Tillie, she had the same panicked look as me.
"Look, my parents will be home after school so we can't have it here" Charlie told Max. Thats my man!
"My parents won't be home till much later so why don't we just go there?" Jenna piped up.
"PERFECT!" Max said as he took a swing of the vodka. Passing it around as everyone started drinking it. The next thing I knew it was in my hands. I was so tempted just to take one sip and deal with the consequences later but they would be extremely dire and despite all this I like hanging out with them. They are like a breath of fresh air compared to my perfect siblings.
"Sorry, siblings are taking me home and will be in deep shit if they smell alcohol on my breath. And you know they would be able to" I explained to them, passing the bottle on to Tillie "Oh and Tillie we are taking you home today as well so you better not either, sorry" I saw a sigh of relief as I gave Tillie an excuse out of it.
"Yeah... they would be able to connect the dots." Tillie added in, handing the bottle to Max; who took one more swing.
"Well we should take this party to a more suited venue!" Cooper said as everyone started ushering out of Charlie's house. Tillie and I took this opportunity to get away and head back to school. And just like we planned we got there just before last period which we luckily had together. Some reason with Tillie by my side, I felt there was less of chance of anyone calling us up on where we were today. Not like it mattered as it turned out; we got through the whole period with no one giving us a second look. Next lot of people I was going to have to face by myself, the family. I walked out to where they parked their cars and was shocked to see that they were just about to leave.
"Hey! I'm not even late!" I semi yelled trying to get their attention. They all spun around with some of the most surprised faces I have ever seen.
"Wait, you're not meant to be here" Alice exclaimed
"Why not, I mean you always take me home from school. Where else would I be?" Ok this might work if I am careful with the next couple of moves.
"Uhh nowhere, I guess" Alice said quietly as got into the car.
"Ali I thought you saw..." Jazz asked
"I know what I saw but here she is right in front of us so I guess she didn't"
"You guys are weird" I said sticking my headphones in my ears, pretending I had no idea what they were talking about. I'm guessing though she saw me accept the vodka and who knows what happens from then. Well I guess Alice knows. I spent the rest of the car ride shuffling through the new Florence + the Machine sound track and it is something I just do but I rarely listen to a song right to the end which somewhat pisses my family off.
I ran into the house and straight up the stairs. I was half way up when Mum called out.
"How was school today Becca?"
"Good!" I yelled back as I continued to run up the stairs to the safety of my room.
So what do you think? I will try and write the next chapter as soon as I can. And if anyone has any suggestions I am more than happy to hear them
Thanks, Emma!
