Guys!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so sorry!!!! I haven't updated in a really long time I know, I just started high school and I'm still getting used to it all and plus my volleyball team too. I will try really hard to make this one the best one yet! Also check out my new story! It's called if I could just see you. Thanks so much! I hope you didn't give up on me!
Edward POV:
We were standing on Serena's porch after out magnificent date. Serena, was amazing, honestly after all these years of sorrow and regret, she just makes me smile. She makes me happy, I haven't felt this way in decades. God Bless Bella for sending Serena down to me, if she hadn't I don't know where I would be right now. The Volturi? In hell? Who knows, I'm just happy to be standing here right now in front of Serena.
"Bye, Edward." She said with a shy smile.
Now was the right time. I was going to do something that I thought I would never do again in my existence. I slowly tested myself before I leaned in slightly. Serena's eyebrows slightly furrowed but they relaxed as soon as she got what I was doing. She leaned in slightly too. Our eyes haven't closed yet, but we kept inching closer and closer. Serena's eyes closed and I could tell she wanted to kiss me and she was awaiting my lips to find hers. I on the other hand my eyes weren't closed because I was afraid that if I closed them, the monster would take over.
Then out of no where, Serena's oval shaped face morphed into Bella's heart shaped face, her slightly curved eyebrows turned into Bella's straight ones, her cheeks turned scarlet, there wasn't much change, but it was clear my mind was going insane. I couldn't do this.
"See you Monday." I said stopping her. And walked vampire speed to my car.
"Bye?" she said a little confused. I looked at her quickly before I backed out of the driveway.
She looked sad and hurt, oh how I wanted to run up to her and comfort her and hold her in my arms. But I couldn't bear seeing Bella's face again.
If only Serena would understand how much pain and confusion was coursing through my body.
I drove fighting sobs the whole way home. Why does everything have to be so complicated?
Serena POV:
I awoke the next morning to the pitter-patter of the rain on the roof. I let out a long groan and flipped myself over on my stomach and wrapped the pillow around my ears. I hate noises when I'm sleeping, I honestly can't sleep if there is a slight pin drop. I was just about to fall into sleep when I heard a huge bang of thunder and lightening. I screamed and rolled off my bed onto the floor earning a good bang on the head.
"Serena?" my mom yelled from downstairs. I heard frantic footsteps coming up the stairs and towards my room. My mom threw open the door and darted her eyes around the room until she looked down and saw me on the floor tangled in my blanket.
"Morning." I croaked out in a voice I always get in the morning, husky and barley over a mumble.
She let out a hearty laugh and replied, "Good morning, hun, breakfast is downstairs." She said before closing my door.
I rolled over and grabbed my dresser to help myself up over it so I could see the time. I peeked my eyes above it to notice that it was 10:23 in the morning. I groaned as I let go of the dresser and lay back down on the ground.
Then all of last night's events came back into my memory. Edward, the amazing date, the dreadful ending. I let out a long sigh before I got up and grabbed the blanket off the ground and made my bed. I walked downstairs and ate my breakfast while my mom drank her coffee and read the newspaper. I finished and washed my plate before going upstairs and taking a shower. I turned on the hot water and walked quickly to my room to get a robe. I searched through my closet for my robe. I finally found it and by the time I got to the shower, the whole room was steamed up. I turned down the heat and got in. I took my time lathering my shampoo in and washing myself I needed time to think.
I got out of the shower and did my usual routine: change into sweatpants and a t shirt, comb my hair out and let it air dry, and put on a little natural make-up. I checked the clock when I was done getting ready. It was around noon. Great, so I have nothing to do for seven and a half hours.
Homework, I guess.
So I did homework in an hour so now I have six and a half hours to spare.
So I called Jake.
"Hello?" Jake's husky voice answered.
"Hey Jacob, it's Serena." I said in a cheery voice.
"Hey what's up?" he asked.
"Well, I was wondering if I could come over a little bit earlier because I have nothing to do." I admitted sheepishly.
"Um… sure, do you want to meet us at Wal-mart? Cause we wanted to go there a bit earlier to try some things."
"Try what?"
I heard snickering in the background. "You'll see. Meet us at the Wal-Mart in a half hour kay?"
"Okay see ya Jake."
"Bye Serena." He replied before clicking off.
"Mom! I'm going to the Black's a little earlier be back tonight!" I yelled to wherever she was in the house.
"Bye hon!" she called back.
I closed the door and walked out to my red bug. I hadn't driven it in a while because Edward had been driving me so I missed it a lot. I unlocked it and got in, I inhaled its familiar scent and exhaled with a big grin. I turned the ignition and my grin turned into a wide toothy grin as it purred to life.
The drive to Wal-Mart wasn't that long, it's only about ten minutes away from my house, it's in the town and with such a small town, it's kind of hard not to notice. I pulled into their massive parking lot and found a spot near the back. I checked my car's clock before turning off the car, 1:27 p.m. I turned off the car and got out adjusting my jacket. I slammed the car door and examined myself from the slightly tinted windows. My hair was naturally wavy when it dries so no doubt it was wavy. I had on a denim jacket on with a white tank top under it; I still had my sweats on and black converse shoes on. As Alice would or wouldn't say, "casual but cute".
I locked my car and started for the far away entrance. When I was halfway there I noticed a group of Native Americans. They were laughing and pushing each other and holding a piece of paper.
"Hey guys wait up!" an all too familiar voice called to them and ran up to them.
"Hey Jake!" I yelled.
Jake and his friends stopped what they were doing and looked. I waved and started walking towards them. The rest of them looked at me like I had three eyes. Jake had a big smile on his face. When I reached him he pulled me into a hug, he was really warm for such a chilly day.
"Hey! I'm glad you came. Guys this is Serena, she's coming to the bonfire with us tonight." He explained to them
"Oh so this is the girl you keep talking about?" one of the kids asked.
Jacob just blushed and slightly nodded his head.
"Serena this is Quil." Jake pointed to a guy in a baseball hat.
"Quil nodded his head and smiled.
"Jared." He pointed to a tall and lanky one.
"What's up?" he asked and gave me a high five.
"Embry." He pointed to the one with the more boyish features.
"Hiya!" he greeted.
"And Seth." Jake nudged the one who was next to him.
"Nice to meet ya!" he said with a big smile. I couldn't help but smile back. Seth had the whitest teeth and he was the cutest one out of all of them.
"Hi!" I said to all of them.
"Shall we?" Jacob asked us gesturing towards the automatic doors.
A bunch of 'yeahs' and whoops came from the guys as they bolted into the store. I quickly followed them trying to keep up.
"What's going on? Aren't we here to get s'mores supplies?" I said as I squeezed into their little huddle.
"Okay so Quil found this list online. It's called '101 things to do at Wal-Mart.'" Embry explained holding up the list.
"Really?" I replied a little too over excited for the situation. I snatched the list from his hand and look over it. Some of the things were crazy!
"Can I do some?" I asked.
"Sure!" Seth said giving me his handsome smile.
"Okay you all know what to do so let's do this!" Jake practically yelled. We all put our hands in the middle like we were on a team. "Wal-Mart on three! One! Two! Three!"
"WAL-MART!!!" We yelled earning some looks from the workers.
"Serena! Just follow what we're doing, I'll let you know what we need you to do!" he told me as we were practically jogging down the aisle.
"Number order!" Jake commanded. "Do your thing guys."
Quil and Embry ran off towards the grocery section of the store.
Seth and I followed Jake and Jared to the women's clothing section. They went to the bra section and browsed bras for about a minute. When people weren't looking, Jake and Jared grabbed the double D bras and put them on over their clothes.
I my mouth gaped open and I had t cover it from bursting out laughing. I looked over at Seth who was staring at me. He smiled when my eyes met his. Did I mention he had the prettiest eyes? They weren't brown like the others, they were a sea green and with his dark skin tone, they were gorgeous.
"Uh guys?" Jared asked snapping me out of my reverie. I looked at Jake and Jared who were giving me weird looks. I looked down a bit and saw the bras they had on over their clothes and burst out laughing.
Jake ran up to me and covered my mouth. Even though my mouth was covered, didn't mean I was still cracking up.
"Shut up Serena! We want to see how many of these we can do and we don't need your loud laugh to give us the attention we don't need!" he explained as I laughed against his warm hand. "Stop laughing." He commanded.
I stopped laughing and nodded my head that I was done laughing. He let my mouth go and silently motioned up to start following him. We followed them to the grocery section earning looks from everyone who passed by.
"Where are we going?" I asked Seth.
"Towards the bathroom." He said with my favorite smile.
On our way to the bathroom I saw yellowish stuff on the ground towards the bathroom.
"Yes!" Jake and Jared gave each other the boy hug and ran towards Embry and Quil who were pouring orange juice on the ground right in front of the guy bathroom. They all burst out laughing and gave a round of high fives.
"Let's go! Seth do yours." Jake said before running off
Seth waited for the man to go into the restroom before he quickly switched the signs so that the boy was now the girl and the girls were the boys.
"C'mon!" he whisper shouted as he grabbed my hand and pulled my after the rest. We ran past Jacob and Jared who were in the gun aisle holding a gun asking if the guy knew where the anti-depressants were. I burst out laughing and covered my mouth as Seth and I ran to our next destination.
Quil and Embry were in another aisle throwing stuff into the other aisle hitting people.
"Here's a good aisle." Said Seth as he pulled me into the pet food aisle.
"What are we doing?" I asked him as he kept watch.
Then the loudspeaker came on.
Seth covered his ears and fell to the ground in fetal position.
"No! The voices are back! Agh!" he said rolling on the floor. Everyone in the aisle looked at him and quickly power walked away. Soon the last person walked out of the section, Seth immediately stopped and got back on two feet.
I laughed and gave him a high five. We walked out of the aisle.
"Having fun?" Seth asked me as Quil and Embry rode past us at full speed on bicycles.
"I never knew Wal-Mart could be so much fun." I said with a smile watching Jake and Jared were running around with blankets over their shoulders.
"Come Robin! To the bat cave!" Jake yelled as Jared followed him with a huge smile.
They stopped at us and threw the blankets aside. "Serena, we need you to do number 5." Jake said handing me the list.
"Me?" I asked taking the list searching for number five.
I read it over. Number 5: Run up to a male employee and ask for a tampon with your legs squeezed together.
"Oh my god." I said shaking my head. "Really?" I asked all of them. Quil and Embry just finished their "speed test."
They all nodded their head simultaneously with sly grins on their faces.
I rolled my eyes and saw a nearby teenage employee who was slightly emo and had piercings all over his body. He had black hair with white streaks and was stocking up the DVDs.
"Go!" Quil pushed me towards him. I took a deep breath and got into character.
I quickly walked up to him awkwardly and held my legs together. He looked up after I approached him. I started jumping up and down anxiously and put on my best serious face.
"Excuse me, this is a really big emergency, I really need a tampon do you have one?" I asked trying really hard not to laugh.
I lost it when I saw the look on his face. It was priceless it was a cross between confusion and disgust. I quickly ran away from him and went back to the group of guys who were all on the floor laughing like there was no tomorrow. I was blushing madly occasionally looking back at the guy who now resumed his stocking.
They all gave me high fives and dragged me across the store to the front and grabbed a cart. They handed it to me and went down the aisles collecting whatever was available and throwing it in the cart.
"Jared, remember number twenty nine." Quil reminded him as we passed an employee.
"Can I help you find anything?" the peppy girl asked us.
Jared burst into tears and yelled out to no one in particular, "Why won't you people just leave me alone!" and ran away.
They all started running after him except Jake and me.
"See what you do?" Jake told the girl who looked so lost. "He has mental issues! Scarred for life! Don't you have a heart?" he asked the girl giving her a dirty look.
"I'm so sorry I had no—"
"Enough, we don't need your pity. C'mon Serena." He said angrily and pulled me out of the aisle.
When we reached everyone else who was getting the s'mores supplies, we burst into hysterics.
"Nice show." I told them. "But what do I do with the cart?" I questioned looking at the various items in the cart.
"Number eighty-four." They answered in unison.
I looked at Seth's paper and read it. I groaned. "No. Way."
Number 84: Go through the pay area without paying and when they try to stop you kick them in the balls and run away without the cart and see what they do.
Oh, Mylanta. Here goes nothing.
"Fine." I said pushing the cart over the checkout with the guy.
"Serena, run like there's no tomorrow, we'll meet you by the car with the supplies." Embry told me
I obediently nodded my head and continued towards the checkout. As I approached the cashier, went past the treadmill thing-a-ma-jigger and just kept on walking.
"Hey!" they guy called to me. "You need to pay for that." I ignored him and continued walking past the checkout aisle.
"Hey!" he yelled a little louder and stepped in front of my cart. I walked around the cart and kicked him as hard as I could in the balls and booked it out of there.
He fell to the ground whimpering as I ran out of the automatic doors, almost running into a couple who were walking in. I kept my focus on my red bug and ran as fast as I could. I unlocked it and got in as fat as I could. I slammed the door and relaxed a little. I was breathing heavy and sweating. After a few minutes of catching my breath, I started laughing. I'm so going to Wal-Mart with the Quileute boys again.
I turned towards the exit and saw them coming out with wide smiles on their faces. I smiled as I got out of the car waiting for them to come. When I stepped out of the car Jake ran towards me, reaching me before anyone else could, and embraced me in a hug twirling me around and laughing.
"Serena! You were awesome!" Jake said as he put me down.
The rest had approached. Quil gave me knuckle punch, Jared gave me a high five, Embry gave me a double high five, and Seth just gave me his gorgeous smile which made me blush.
"Alright guys, nice work, do you wanna celebrate?!?" Jake asked as he held up the s'mores supplies.
"Yeah!" We all shouted and laughed.
"Okay we'll see you there Serena." Seth said still smiling.
"Bye!" I said smiling back.
They all said their goodbyes and walked back to their car. I got in mine and followed them to La Push.
I was so pumped for the bonfire, I almost shouted, "I love Wal-Mart!" out the window, but I didn't. Okay, maybe I did…
A/N: finally! It's up! I have no clue when the next chapter will be up because I'm alternating updates, the next update will be for If I could just see you.
I love you all!
