It's finally here!!!! I'm so sorry I didn't update, I truly am… ): Anyway, some people told me my blog address wasn't working so I posted the link to my blog on my profile. It's called Let it Roll and it totally would be a lot easier to communicate with you guys with it, so please follow me and check back often!
The following Monday I woke up with a smile on my face. I have a boyfriend! Yes! And he's cute too. I did my usual thing, get up, take a shower, get dressed, grab a granola, and head out to school. I turned on the music right away and bopped my head to it all the way to school.
When I got to school I saw the familiar Cullen cars: Emmett's jeep and Rosalie's BMW, but no Silver Volvo. Where was Edward?
"Serena!" I heard a voice call out. It was Jennifer Stanley.
"Hey, Jen!" I said.
"I haven't talked to you in like a million years, what's up?" she asked me as we both started walking towards first hour.
"Um… nothing really." I started off as the nice warm breeze of the inside of the school hit us. "Just…hanging out, how about you?" I said as I approached my locker.
"Eh, nothing new, just boredom… there are no cute guys anymore, well… there's Edward…" she giggled and blushed. "But, he's like… weird… he doesn't date."
"Yeah… I guess not." I said trailing off as I searched for my first hour books.
"Hey, you've been hanging with him… are you two, like… a thing?" she said grabbing my attention.
"Edward and I?" I asked as I slammed my locker door. Then I started laughing, "No, we are just friends, actually I have a boyfriend." I blushed as I thought of Saturday night.
"Spill." She said as we walked off to first hour.
"Well, what do you want to know?" I asked awkwardly.
"What's his name? Does he go to this school? Is he tall?" she droned on.
"His name's Seth Clearwater, no he doesn't go to this school, he lives on his reservation…"
I was cutoff then, "Is he on the La Push rez?" She asked shocked.
"Yeah, and he's very tall." I answered her final question.
"Hotness on a scale of 1 to 10." She said with a sly smile.
"Uh…" I thought for a minute. "Around a 7?" I asked rather than said.
"Hm…" she replied. "You have to tell me the deets at lunch okay?" she said when we reached her class room.
"Okay!" I replied with a smile.
The first half of school went by slowly, I couldn't help but think about Jennifer's comment on me and Edward. Did we look like a thing? I didn't think so, then the rest of the time I thought about me and Seth, gosh he's so cute.
Soon it was lunch, great. I walked slowly towards the dreaded lunch room, all I wanted to do was go home and relax. The first thing I noticed when I entered the cafeteria was that there were only four people at the Cullen's table. Where was Edward? I asked myself for the second time that day.
I bought my lunch and was headed for my usual table until Alice popped up in front of me out of nowhere.
"Serena!" she said giving me a quick hug, careful so I didn't spill my tray. "How was your weekend?" she asked me.
"Great!" I said to her.
"That's good." She said smiling with a twinkle in her eye. "We had an okay weekend, it was pretty sunny out so we just spent it hunting, it was actually beneficial for Jasper." She said looking behind her at Jasper. I looked at the table and saw Jasper smile at Alice for a split second, and then I saw the empty chair next to him.
"Where's Edward today?" I asked Alice.
Her face fell. "He… left, I don't know where he went, probably to the Denali's in Alaska." She said.
"The Denali's?" I asked.
"Oh, they are another…" she looked around. "Group, let's say. That live in Alaska, they are veggie monsters too." She winked at me.
"Oh, I see." I said with a smile. "Well, Jennifer is waiting for me so I'll see you later." I said to her.
"Bye Serena." She said before gliding back to her table.
I walked over to my table and took my place right next to Jennifer and spent the whole lunch period explaining how Seth and I's relationship bloomed, not including some minor details about how he snuck into my room in the middle of the night.
"Oh my, so he probably really likes you!" she said resting her head on her hands, gossip style.
"Yeah I guess he does." I blushed a little.
"So, when are you going to see him again?" she asked me.
"Um, maybe this weekend, I'm kinda busy during school weeks." I explained.
"Oh, that's cool, what do you think you guys are going to do this weekend?"
"Um, I think his reservation is having a bonfire so I think I'm just gonna meet him there." I explained.
"Awesome, mind if some of us come?" she nodding her head towards the end of the table.
I looked over to see Angelina and Lucas and all of them at the end of our table in their own conversations.
"Sure, I'll call Seth tonight and ask if you can tag along." I replied.
"Great!" she said before she went back to eating her salad.
"Cool." I said turning my head back towards the empty seat at the Cullen table. I stared at Edward's seat for a few seconds before I looked up and met Rosalie's angry topaz eyes boring into mine. I wanted to quickly look away, but I couldn't. It was like I was frozen or something. Alice nudged Rosalie and mumbled something at her, probably telling her to stop, then Alice and Rosalie both walked out of the cafeteria, Alice leading the way, Emmett and Jasper remained where they were seated. What was going on? I thought she liked me… why was she all of a sudden angry at me?
I looked away from their table in confusion, I played with my food a little bit before I realized I wasn't hungry.
"Hey Jen, I think I'm going to go to the library for the rest of lunch I'll talk to you later." I told her.
"Kay, see ya." She said before flipping her hair and going back to flirting with Lucas.
I grabbed my stuff and walked out of the cafeteria, thoughts just running through my head. Why did Edward leave? Was it because of me? Was I tearing their family apart? Maybe he left because he hates me… but why would he hate me? I never did anything to him, unless…
Don't stop, make it pop
DJ blow my speakers up
Tonight Imma fight till we see the sunlight
Tick Tock on the clock but the party won't stop no.
I pulled out my phone and smiled at who was calling me, interrupting my questions. I grinned as I answered the phone.
"Hey Seth."
Alice POV:
The following Monday, Edward still hadn't come back. He's only been gone a day, but Esme's worried sick, Rosalie's pissed like a bat out of hell, Emmett's upset because Rosalie won't do anything (if you know what I mean) with him because she's mad, Carlisle's been trying to contact all the other covens to see if they have seen or heard of Edward, and Jasper's been stressed because of all the emotions that are running throughout the house and he can't take it. As for me, I've been trying to see into Edwards future to see what he's going to do next, but I can't see anything, it's like he isn't thinking, he hasn't done anything.
We drove to school in silence in Emmett's jeep. As we pulled into the parking lot- minutes before the bell, so the lot was mostly cleared from people- Rosalie scowled at the red bug parked near the front of the lot.
"Rosalie." I warned.
She crossed her arms and looked in the opposite direction. For some reason Rosalie was angry at Serena, I don't know why… she seemed to really get along with Serena a few weeks ago, now she's like… bipolar.
We all got out of the car and rushed into the school. We all got to our first hours before the bell rang. All of my classes in the morning went by quickly, mainly because I already know everything.
Soon, it was lunch. Rose and I met up like we always did and walked into the cafeteria together. She still had the same angry look on her face as we passed Serena buying her lunch. This reminded me…
"Hey Rose, I'll meet you guys up I need to talk to Serena for a second." I told her as I stopped.
She glared at me for a second before flipping her golden hair back and mumbling a "Whatever." She glided back to the table sitting right next to Emmett who was sitting next to my temporarily empty seat. Then next to me was Jasper and next to him was well… no one now.
Serena was looking in a different direction then where I was approaching her. I quickly stepped in front of her stopping her in her tracks.
"Serena!" I smiled at her giving her a quick hug. She had a look of surprise on her face until she realized it was me. "How was your weekend?" I asked her, already knowing what went on.
"Great!" she said with a big smile on her face.
"That's good!" I said with a happy face. "We had an okay weekend, it was pretty sunny out so we just spent it hunting, it was actually beneficial for Jasper." I told her as I looked behind me at my other half. He looked up and met my eyes and smiled at me. Before I had the chance to smile back, Serena interrupted me.
"Where's Edward today?"
My face fell as I attempted to answer the inevitable question. "He…left; I don't know where he went, probably to the Denali's in Alaska." I explained sadly to her.
"The Denalis?" She asked.
"Oh, they are another…" I looked around for any eavesdroppers. "Group, let's say. That live in Alaska, they are veggie monsters too." I winked at her to let her know what I was talking about.
"Oh, I see." She said with a smile. "Well, Jennifer is waiting for me so I'll see you later." She told me.
"Bye Serena." I said to her before I walked swiftly back to the table.
Lunch went by as it usually went by, we picked at our food a bit to make it look like we were eating, we laughed, and talked and stuff. I picked up bits and pieces of Serena and Jennifer's conversation. So she met this guy through that mutt Jacob Black… this disgusts me.
Then all of a sudden, Serena turns around and looks at Edward's empty spot. Then she looked up and her face went white. I looked over at Rosalie. If looks could kill, Serena would drop dead by now. Serena was still looking at Rosalie, not out of competition, but because she was frozen with fear.
I nudged Rosalie. It didn't faze her. This got me angry. "Rosalie, stop this right now." I forcefully said into her ear, only loud enough for us to hear it. "Come with me this instant." I said as I go out of my chair. I didn't turn around because I could hear her footsteps behind me.
We walked outside into the gusty air of Forks. I needed to get to the bottom of this nonsense.
I whipped around in front of Rose and she almost ran into me. "What's your problem?" I asked her crossing my arms.
"What do you mean?" she asked pushing her hair behind her ear.
"I mean about how you're about to go Jerry Springer on Serena's ass right now!" I practically shouted.
She rolled her eyes and looked to the side avoiding my eyes.
"Rose. Look at me." I commanded.
She let out a deep sigh and looked at me.
I laid a hand on her shoulder. "Tell me what's bothering you." I softened up a bit.
"Nothing's wrong!" she said throwing her hands up. She turned around to walk back into the cafeteria, but I grabbed her arm and turned her around.
"You're being ridiculous!" I exclaimed. "What did Serena ever do to you? You used to love her!" I questioned.
"Love her? Really? I barely knew her!" Rose argued. "But now I know her… that bit-"
"Enough." I said. "Why do you hate her then?"
She looked down with her jaw clenched.
"Rose!" I started to yell.
"SHE'S TEARING OUR FAMILY APART!" she said before she looked me straight in the eye. If she were human right now, she would be in tears. She sniffed, "Edward left! She broke his already broken heart, she tore it into pieces. God knows what he's doing right now! Trying to die… trying to live… trying to get over how depressed he is."
My heart dropped when I heard this. I was about to say something when she started up again.
"And I miss him…" she trailed off and started sniffing. "I really do, and it may not seem like it, but I miss him." She said finally looking at me with a sad expression.
We stared at each other for a good minute or two before I spoke up, "I miss him too." I sniffed as I stepped forward and embraced her in a hug. She hugged me back and we stood like that for a minute
"Why does all this have to happen to us." She asked me as we still hugged.
"Don't worry, we'll get through this."
"Yeah if that stupid Serena moves away." She said bitterly.
"Hey, this isn't Serena's fault, she doesn't quite know exactly what's going on right now." I defended her.
"She freaking made out with a werewolf!" she said angrily.
I opened my mouth to gasp but someone else's took mine away.
I froze and slowly turned around to see someone who was, if I do say so myself, really pissed off.
Did I mention they were the last person on earth whom I wanted to hear our conversation??
Dun Dun da Duuunnn!!! Haha who could it be? I bet most of you already know, but I needed to leave a cliff hanger right there!
PLT!!!
