sorry it's been so long since i've posted any more chapters, i played guitar at a fundraiser thingy, so i've been busy. but here's another chapter!
annabelle's POV
the run over to dad's house was fairly entertaining, austin challenged me to a race, and i pranked him BIG TIME.
he asked if we could race and i said okay, then i hid behind a tree while he ran ahead of me. once he was past me, i ran down a side section back to dad's house. then i jumped on the roof and ran to the side that aunt rose and uncle emmett's room was on.
she was laying across the sofa listening to her ipod, and i hung down from the window.
"aunt rose!" i whispered, and she jumped. when she saw it was me, she giggled and helped me through the window.
"what are you doing, sweetie?" she asked between giggles. i chuckled with her and sat down. she sat next to me and tossed her ipod on the computer desk in the corner.
"i tricked my brother into thinking i would race him to the front door, and i'm really in here." i answered calmly. after she decoded my words, she gaped at me.
"they're coming here? today?" she asked, suddenly excited. i nodded and she sprang up and ran to the door.
"i have to tell your aunt alice!" she exclaimed, and i followed her across the hall into aunt alice and uncle jasper's room. aunt alice was on the computer, and, from the looks of it, looking at clothes on the internet. big surprise.
"alice! they're coming today!" aunt rose practically screamed at aunt alice. wow, alice was way quicker than rose, because she hopped up and down immediately.
"i know! i saw them with edward, bella, and annabelle! they're beautiful, and so much like edward! but they really need makeovers, though." she trailed off at the end. then i saw that she was looking at boy's clothes, and i laughed. my brothers did need to retire their outfits.
"they'll be here in around an hour, because bella wants to stop by her house and see what she can do about selling the house." aunt alice informed us. that formed another question.
"oh yeah, dad said you guys were building more rooms here. are they done yet?" i asked, and aunt alice stood up and covered my eyes. again. there were way too many surprises here.
"yeah, they are. and i have a feeling you'll like your room." aunt rose said, taking my hand and leading me out of the room. when we came to a staircase, she lifted me up, aunt alice still covering my eyes.
aunt rose set me down and led me across a long hallway, and i heard uncle emmett at the far end.
"hey girls! are you ready, annabelle?" he asked excitedly. i nodded, bracing myself to be thrown into one of aunt alice's extreme decoration experiments.
aunt alice uncovered my eyes.
i looked into my own personal heaven.
there was a nice, expensive-looking bed with blue covers and a black wooden headboard. the walls were of a beach, the bottom was a sandy beach, and the middle and top were beautiful waves.
there was a HUGE walk-in closet that covered the entire right side of the room, probably a gift from aunt alice. on the left side, there was another room, with tinted windows and a big wooden door.
there was a cherrywood desk next to the bed, with a worklamp, drawers, a space for my laptop, and...oh my god. i walked over to it, and picked up the picture frame next to the worklamp.
it was a photo of my too-young-to-be grandparents, aunt rose, aunt alice, uncle jasper, uncle emmett, and dad smiling up at me. if i could cry, i would have.
i spun back around to everyone, who apparently had heard us and gathered, and smiled. they all grinned back at me, and i hugged them.
"thanks! i love it!" i said after all the hugs and kisses were over. then i turned to the room on the left side. grandma esme seemed to guess my thoughts.
"why don't you go check it out?" she asked, and i could hear her smiling. i walked over to it slowly, half expecting a giant blow-up worm to pop out at me, and gathered the courage to open the door.
inside was a wooden stool, the vintage microphone and guitar from uncle jasper, and a mixboard in the corner. i just gaped at it as everyone filtered into the room and stood there, staring at me, grinning from ear to ear.
"y-you built me a recording studio?" i managed to ask, and uncle emmett nodded. i pinched myself, and, once i was sure i wasn't daydreaming, screamed. everyone bust out laughing as i did this, and uncle emmett came over.
he picked me up, put me in the stool, handed me the guitar, and stood back withe everyone else. i was still stuck in my shocked, unmoving position when grandpa carlisle spoke up.
"like a queen on her throne." he mused, and everyone laughed.
"like alice in a shopping mall." uncle jasper said, and everyone laughed harder. then my cell phone rang.
"hello?" i asked into the reciever, coming back to earth.
"hey, annabelle. mom wants to know if they've finished everybody's rooms over there." i heard my brother brendan ask on the other end.
"yeah, and after seeing mine, i have a feeling you all are going to like yours." i said, going back into my room and flopping on the bed. aunt alice and aunt rose followed and repeated my action.
"cool. well, mom says she's gotta wrap up a few things at home, and we'll be over there in an hour or two. see ya." and he hung up. i flipped my phone closed and stuffed it back in my pocket.
"so, are we going to start our day together anytime soon?" uncle jasper asked, leaning against the wall as everyone but aunt alice left.
"oh, yeah, i forgot we're going out today. i'm ready when you guys are." i said, and stood up.
"cool! let's go!" aunt alice said, and we went downstairs, said goodbye to everyone, got into her porsche, and left.
i'm gonna wait for 10 reviews before i post the day with jasper and alice! SO START SENDING!!!!
