sorry it's been a while since i've posted, my family's being interviewed for my school's retarded newspaper, and this kid that reminds me of urkel from family matters is currently interviewing us, and me and my sister amber are sitting here sharing a set of headphones listening to hana pestle's "need".

my ENTIRE family and i are IN LOVE with that song. we think it is PERFECT for new moon, so listen to it, and support "need for new moon"!!! and "need" might be making a special guest appearance in this chapter... :) heehee!

enjoy and please, please, PUH-LEASE review! (and my sis amber says hi!)

annabelle's POV

aunt alice, uncle jasper, and i were riding in aunt alice's porsche towards seattle. aunt alice was chattering away about future shopping trips with me, and i was half listening to her, and half listening to my ipod, which i had gotten out of my purse.

the song "need" came on, and aunt alice squealed, and it made me and uncle jasper jump. she burst out laughing as she took the ipod and plugged it into the little ipod-radio connector thingy.

the song blared out of the speakers, and me and aunt alice started singing.

i'm not quite sure how to breathe

without you here

i'm not quite sure if i'm ready to say goodbye

to all we were

be with me

stay with me

just for now

let the time decide when i don't need you

my hand searches for your hand

in a dark room

i can't find you

help me

are you looking for me

can i feel anymore

lie to me, i'm fading

i can't drop you

tell me i don't need you

my hand searches for your hand

in a dark room

i can't find you

help me

are you looking for me

etch this into my brain for me

tell me how it's supposed to be

where everything will go

and how i'll be without you by my side

my hand searches for your hand

in a dark room

i can't find you

help me

are you looking for me

my hand searches for your hand

in a dark room

i can't find you

help me

are you looking for me

by the time we were finished singing, uncle jasper was almost hysterical with laughter. aunt alice gave him a questioning look as the next song came on.

"what's so funny?" i asked, looking at him, and he just laughed harder.

"you two sounded so in-sync! it was amazing," he choked out. me and aunt alice looked at each other for a moment before busting out laughing ourselves.

for the rest of the car ride, aunt alice flipped around, and, after finding nothing else to listen to, uncle jasper finally settled on a country music station. shortly after he started singing kenny chesney, we arrived in front of a small boutique.

"we're here!" aunt alice shrieked, hopping out of the car and throwing open my door. the second my feet touched the ground, aunt alice grabbed my hand and dragged me inside with uncle jasper on my heels, chuckling.

aunt alice dragged me straight across the store into the "junior's" section. then i'm sure all hell broke loose in her head. first she took me over to a rack of extremely-dressy dresses and grabbed at least 3.

then she went over to the shirts and grabbed as many as she could carry, and did the same with jeans and skirts. she gave them to me, and dragged me over to a dressing room. i changed at vamp speed into the first item, a sparkly, ruby red dress.

i stepped outide and spun around. aunt alice clapped and uncle jasper "ooohed". and before i could go back in the dressing room, aunt alice snapped a photo with her camera phone. when i gave her a questioning look, she laughed.

"your aunt rose wants to know how it's going." she explained. i nodded and went back in the dressing room. i quickly changed into a pair of faded, ripped jeans and a blue polo shirt. this time i blew a kiss into the lens when aunt alice snapped my picture, and in a few moments, the phone buzzed.

we huddled together and saw aunt rose and grandma esme giving me a thumbs-up sign. i laughed and went to the "antiques" section.

"what are you doing, annabelle?" aunt alice asked when i pulled a cute 1930's dress of the shelf. i ran into the dressing room and changed quickly.

"send a picture of this to aunt rose, i figured she might like a taste of her own era." i said, and aunt alice took the picture. minutes later, grandpa carlisle sent us a picture of aunt rose rolling around on the floor laughing. that set us off laughing, too.

then uncle jasper went over to to the rack and grabbed a nice 1700's dress, and i changed into it. aunt alice sent the photo to grandpa carlisle, and we got a picture of him laughing along with everyone else.

it went like this for a while, getting clothes from the different eras of my family, and their responses were funny. after we finished our game of dress-up, we got back in the car, and i called aunt rose.

"h-he-hello?" i heard her gasp into the reciever. uncle jasper and aunt alice gave me alarmed looks at first, but we all relaxed when we heard laughter in the background.

"hi aunt rose!" i said, and she struggled to get a hold of herself. when she was back in control, i heard uncle emmett in the background.

"HEY ANNABELLE! WHAT'S UP?" he yelled so i could hear him. i laughed, and i heard a smack and an "ouch!".

"emmett, why don't you just ASK for the phone?" aunt rose asked, and i heard everyone, including us, laughing.

"hi!" uncle emmett said, and i giggled.

"hello, uncle emmett. what's going on over there?" i asked. i heard suppressed laughter in the background.

"nothing much, your aunt and grandma are watching some stupid chick-flick-OUCH!" i heard him yell. then i heard aunt rose scolding him about underestimating romantic comedies.

"alright, alrigh, your aunt and grandma are watching a very compassionate, family romantic comedy. geez, rosalie..." he mumbled, and i laughed.

we had a nice conversationa after that, and then we promised to send them more photos, and drove towards downtown.

well, i made this chapter a little longer! oh, and i must say, the new moon clip at the mtv movie awards was AWESOME!!!! but review and stay tuned for more!
