Chapter 3: Shocking News
Alice's POV
Finally we are on our way. We get into the car waving goodbye to our parents. Our suitcases are packed, Rosalie and I had to pack Bella's suitcase last night, and in the trunk. We pile into my baby and with waving and shouts of goodbye and be safes from our parents, we pull out of my driveway and head off to New York! I'm driving, Rosalie is in the front seat and Bella is in the back.
Rosalie turns on the radio to the New Hot 89.9 and we start to sing along to You and Your Hand by Pink. We're acting crazy and juvenile but who cares?! Finally we're going! I've been waiting to leave for months! Well not months exactly but you know what I mean.
We drive out of Forks waving goodbye to the trees and the clouds, knowing that it's going to be awhile before we see them again. We pass Seattle and drive until around noon. We stop in a small town called Issaquah for lunch. We decide to eat in a small cafe just off the highway. Mainly because it's the only place not ridden with bugs. Ew.
Rosalie and Bella get cokes and I get an iced tea. They don't let me drink anything with caffeine in it anymore. Rosalie gets soup and Bella and I get sandwiches. We're just sitting there eating and chatting peacefully when we see Edward, Emmet and Jasper walking into the cafe!
"What are they doing here?!" Hisses Rosalie.
"I don't know!" I say in a shouty whisper. Bella hides behind her hair and bows her head.
"Shut up and move before they see us!" She hisses. In a panic we get up and throw out our garbage. We almost make it to the door when Jasper points us out!
Bella's POV
Jasper saw us! Rosalie, Alice and I run out door to our car. We can see Edward looking confused, Jasper looking amused and Emmet laughing his ass off through the window. I have to admit it is a bit funny but Rosalie and Alice are really pissed off.
"Did they follow us?" Alice says.
"Maybe," says Rosalie, "It is a possibility. I mean they do love to piss us off"
"Ya, but," I interject, "Don't you think they looked they looked just as surprised as we were? I mean they didn't even know we could see them through the window so maybe it was just a coincidence that our enemies happened to be at the same cafe as us in a small town like 4 hours from here." Rosalie and Alice looked at me in a way that let me know they were questioning my sanity.
"They definitely must have followed us. I mean really what are the chances they would they go to a place like that coincidently at the same time as us?" Rosalie says giving me a look.
"It was just a suggestion" I mutter.
"Alright enough" Alice says, "It's over and done with and we can just get moving now and forget all about this. No one is following us now so we probably won't see them again on this trip" Alice gives us the "serious" look so me and Rosalie both shut up.
"Good" says Alice, looking like the cat that ate the canary. We turn up the music and continue driving.
Edward's POV
"What were Alice, Bella, and Rosalie doing here?" I ask Em and Jasper. They shrug.
"I would say that they were following us but they got here before we did and they're expressions clearly showed they didn't have a clue we were coming here," Emmet chuckles.
"Well whatever, let's just get lunch" Jasper says. We get into line and grab 3 coffees and three sandwiches. We sit and eat them for a bit then hit the road again.
I was driving, Emmet was in the front seat and Jasper was in the back. I put on my favourite music. Debussy. Emmet and Jasper groan.
"Not this again!" Emmet groans.
"This stuff is getting so annoying!" Jasper agrees.
"Well too bad so sad girlies, my car, my music"
They groan again. I chuckle. My favorite song comes on, Claire de Lune. It's so relaxing. This is a good thing especially when I'm dealing with these two knuckle heads.
We pull up to a Tim Hortons on the side of the road a few hours later for a coffee break. I park and we get out and go inside.
Emmet POV
Mmmm... coffee. I buy the drinks this time and turn away from the counter to look for a table. Luckily there's practically no one here because this Tim Hortons is in the middle of nowhere.
I look around when we see Rosalie, Bella, and Alice sitting in a booth, looking over a road map! So they are going someplace. I nudge Edward and Jasper and point at the girls. They smirk. They still haven't seen us yet. We walk over and Edward sits next to Bella on the outside so she can't get out of the booth, I site next to Rosalie so she and Alice can't get out and Jasper sits beside me.
"Well hello girls. Fancy seeing you here" I smirk. Rosalie glowers at me.
"We're having a tea party Emmet" Her voice drips with sarcasm.
"Are you having fun?" I taunt. Rosalie just glares. I lean back away from her a bit. She scares me.
"Go away," says Bella, "We're not bothering you" She glares at us. Edward grins at her.
"We just wanted to be friendly you know. We thought you might need some help with that map"
"Ya right," snorts Alice, "Get lost in the woods" Jasper pretends to look offended.
"Well that's not a very nice thing to say" Alice glares at him and boy could she glare. You would think a pixie type creature such as herself would have no glaring abilities whatsoever but when she got angry it was scary.
Rosalie tries to push me and Jasper out of the booth. I snort. She gives me the finger. I reach out and pat her on the shoulder.
"It's alright Rose, I know someday you'll admit your true feelings for me" She shoots daggers at me with her eyes.
"And what would those be?" she says through clenched teeth.
"That you're madly in love with me" I state, smiling. It pushes her over the edge.
"Alright get out!" she screeches. She and Alice push against us and Bella tries to move Edward but none of us move.
"We just want to know where you're going" Jasper says innocently.
"None of your business" Alice says.
"We'll move if you tell us" Edward says.
"Fine! We're going to New York! Happy?! Now move!" Bella says angrily. Edward, Jasper and I look at each other, shocked then we burst out laughing.
"You're joking" I say through my laughter.
"No," Rosalie says coldly, "Now move" But we are laughing too hard to move.
"What's so funny?!" Alice asks.
"It's just we're going to NYC too!" Jasper says and then we burst out into more laughter. The girls look at each other shocked.
"No way" says Bella.
"Yes way" says Edward.
"Shit" Rosalie mutters.
"Look we told you where we're going now get out of our way!" says Alice. We get up and let them out.
"Maybe we'll see you later" Edward says smirking. The girls glare at us and stomp out of the Timmies with their map.
Authors Note: Review please. I also wouldn't mind hearing some theories of what happens next. Do the boys and the girls meet again on the road? Do they meet in NY? Does Emmet get hit by a bus? These are the questions folks! Thanks for reading
