An Impossible Reality
Chapter 13- The Almost Fight
Disclaimer: I don't own twilight but I own this and my characters so woop for me.
Alix POV
I was so angry. Not only could I not get Lauren's face I was also being restrained by like the schools second strongest dude. "Edward, for fucks sake let me go!" I yelled and squirmed in his grip but he just stood his ground. I decided to go with the saddest way of getting him to let go. I forced myself to make tears and whimpered, making him weaken a little then with the classic sentence. "Ow, Edward... you're hurting me." I fake sobbed and his hands disappeared so I lunged.
Once again so close but this time I felt his cold arms slot into place around my waist and turned me around so I couldn't face Lauren. "You lied." He almost pouted.
"Well a girl has gotta do what a girl has gotta do and I needed to do that. I just didn't anticipate the fast reflexes you have. Another adrenaline rush?" I teased letting him know I was on to him. He froze and turned me to face him, he gaze was a mixture of anger that he had been caught out but also awe that I wasn't screaming at the top of my lungs for him to let me go and his fang face away from mine which I might add was surprisingly close. "Why do you keep stopping me?"
"Because I know you will regret the damage you will do later on so I am saving you all of this regret." He smirked, clearly pleased with himself for quoting me and putting it in a different context.
"Ooh believe you me, I would NEVER regret pummelling this bitches face in."
"Hey!" I heard her protest and I looked to Edward.
"You honestly want to save that nasally voiced banshee?" I asked and he nodded.
"For your sake not hers." He whispered to me smirking so I laughed naturally. "Let's go." He continued to smirk as he fireman lifted me over his shoulder so my face was now glaring into Lauren's.
"One day when Edward isn't here to save your butt implants I will be to drop kick your arse back to September and don't doubt me for a second cos you can clearly tell I will do it!" I managed to get out before I was safely away from the terrified cow and in the serene atmosphere of the outdoors.
"I have to go." He said suddenly.
"W-what? Skipping for the rest of the day or something?" but as soon as the question left my lips he was gone, in that huge baggy hoodie in the blazing (for Forks) weather. Strange, strange guy.
One thing was for sure, I spent most of the day being stared at and avoided by Lauren in fear of me actually hitting her while Edward was gone but right now I was mellow for the time being so I guess I would let her face survive another week till she crossed my paths at the wrong time.
The day was half over before I knew it and I was making my way to my last few lessons when just like my day had started Mike began to holler after me. "Alix? Wait up I want to talk to you." He yelled so I stopped mid stride, hopefully Tyler's new car is enjoying time away from me.
"Oh hi Mike, can you make it quick I have a lot to get done today." I didn't.
"That's cool I was just thinking... when I get my paper done maybe we could go out. To like a movie and dinner or something." He blurted out and I was shocked. Asking a girl to the dance is a whole other matter than asking her on a date. That can go either way, at least at a dance you can rebound.
"Umm Mike, you have eyes right?" he nodded slowly. "Well dude use them. Jessica is nuts about you, clearly, and you just aren't seeing it. It would really make her upset and she is my friend of sorts." He nodded again slower than before, trying to take in the fact that I had shot him down again. "I'm sorry but it's for the best." And with that I walked on to my next lesson. Man I am a bitch.
Edward POV
No school for me and the family today, I thought whilst I watched my angel sleep dreaming of me right now. She was smiling with that simple smile I have loved for months now and whispering my name from time to time. I looked at my watch and acknowledged the time 6:20a.m. she will getting up in ten minutes, I guess I should leave now.
I sighed before braving a kiss on the forehead. She stirred a little before giggling and tapping my face as if to bat it away. It was a simple and special moment to me and yet she was asleep. I guess that is all I will have until she figures out what I am.
I hopped out the window and ran home; this day would be boring because of the sun since I was in no need of a hunting trip so it would mostly be playing the lullaby I made for Alix. Whilst I was playing it was just before time for school classes to start when Alice's vision flooded into my mind.
Alix stormed over to Lauren in a blazing rage only seeing red. She stormed up to the car that Lauren was standing on and began to yell although focus on the words was not clear and intelligible. Her fist pulled back behind her till it was on level with her ear and shot it forward to connect with Lauren who was now on the floor. There a sickening crack and Lauren's nose spewed out blood and she screamed clutching her obviously broken nose.
"MISS ALLBRIGHTON!" the principal exclaimed and Alix shot round to see a glaring and angry principle. The rest of the scene blurred and words like "disgraceful" and "expelled" came out and the last thing seen was the family car of Alix and her mum driving to the airport to go home.
I gasped and frantically ran to my closet. "Edward!" I heard Alice yell up the stairs.
"I'm on it!" I yelled in reply and her thoughts entered my head. Just wear that hoodie in the back of your closet, you have 5 minutes to get there think you can make it? I scoffed and yanked on the hoodie Alice thought of. She laughed and I ran out of the door before Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rose or Jasper could protest and complain.
The run was rushed and through the trees directly into the part of the forest that surrounded the school. I didn't need to be over there to hear the thoughts of Lauren. Shit! She is going to hit me any second. Help! I ran out at human speed to see Alix's hand lifted up ready to hit Lauren.
I grabbed her hand and she tensed up but immediately relaxed on finding out it was me. It was like just my touch announced my identity. "Edward, for fucks sake let me go!" she exclaimed, and order and wish I wanted to give to her but refused for her sake. Suddenly I heard her sob a little and then she said the one sentence to kill any guy's will power. "Ow, Edward... you're hurting me." And with that one sentence I let her go expecting her to clutch her arm and glare at me through her tears but what she did surprised me. She lunged, straight for Lauren again.
In one split second my arms were locked around her waist yanking her back so she couldn't make contact with Lauren. The poor girl was seriously shook up with fear that she would die or something so for extra measure I turned so that Alix was facing the opposite way from Lauren. "You lied." I pouted. I know it is not very manly or socially acceptable for a boy of my 'age' to pout but it had to be done.
"Well a girl has gotta do what a girl has gotta do and I needed to do that. I just didn't anticipate the fast reflexes you have. Another adrenaline rush?" I froze up at this. She clearly knew what we were, and that I had lied but she wasn't screaming. Demanding I get away from her with fear of me drinking her blood. "Why do you keep stopping me?"
"Because I know you will regret the damage you will do later on so I am saving you all of this regret." I smirked; she got so mad at me quoting her but rearranging the words to match a different con txt of sentence.
"Ooh believe you me, I would NEVER regret pummelling this bitches face in."
"Hey!" I heard her protest and she looked to me.
"You honestly want to save that nasally voiced banshee?" she asked and I nodded.
"For your sake not hers." I whispered to her smirking and she laughed like it was the most natural thing to do at the statement and smirk. "Let's go." I continued to smirk as I decided to fireman lift her over my shoulder so her face was now glaring into Lauren's.
"One day when Edward isn't here to save your butt implants I will be to drop kick your arse back to September and don't doubt me for a second cos you can clearly tell I will do it!" she just about managed to get out before I had her safely away from the terrified girl and in the serene atmosphere of the outdoors.
"I have to go." I suddenly came out with realising that it was sunny today and that I wasn't even supposed to be here,
"W-what? Skipping for the rest of the day or something?" but I was already into the trees on my way home. I don't like being rude to Alix but I had to. One day, when she tells me what she thinks she knows I won't have to do it anymore.
Once I was safely inside my home I was pinned to the floor by Emmett grinning wildly at me. "Where did you go?"I knew Alice had ratted me out to make it look like nothing.
"To Shagrilla where do you think? Or know since I am sure Alice told you." Sorry Edward she mentally apologised to me and I nodded for her to let it go.
"You risked everything again for that girl. She is sending you on a one way trip to the Volturi!" I growled and walked up to her. "You are so stupid, for a 109 year old vampire. You are letting a small, pathetic human teenage girl ruin your life and morals!"
"Is that the reason Rose? Or is it more the fact that she can have a family and you can't!" I shouldn't have said it. As soon as I said I regretted it but she insulted her. MY Alix! Rosalie's eyes blazed then softened as I saw un-shed tears never to fall form in her eyes before she sped off out of the house and into the forest.
"Edward!" Emmett growled before running after his wife. The rest of the family just stared at me with shock and horror. All is fair in love and war they say but that wasn't fair on Rosalie. I am such a bastard.
Alix POV
When I got home all I could think about was Edward. Why he was dressed so heavily? Why did he leave so suddenly? Why was it so easy for him to restrain me and last but not least, why did he appear just for that moment?
If you are going to show up to school you stay. Bugger guys are so confusing. Oh well I get to take my mind off of him for an evening tonight because Jess and Angela invited me to go dress shopping with them. It's more for them getting a third and final opinion but it's some time out of the house, plus there is a mythical book store so there is a slight chance that a book I have been looking for might be there because I am NOT asking my mum for it. She will look at me like I have grown an extra head if I do.
Throughout the trip to Spanish was: 'the dance' this and 'the dance' that and even 'to be with Mike at the dance', I mean god woman! Someone is sounding mighty desperate and all I am desperate for is to be away from fucking Mike and to be as far from Edward at possible right now. At least from thoughts of him so I imagined being with my nana soon. It would be nice.
This is the longest I have gone without seeing her in person. Which is something since I used to see her twice a week when I was back home. She was just a different route coming home from school and lift to my house but now she a whole trip away from me, it saddens me.
And to top of my shit arse day of not getting to pummel Lauren, she left school after the 'attack', and never showed up for her scheduled beating and Edward came and went with the blow of a breeze from a not so helpful outdoors gush he wasn't in again throughout the day, though I was praying he had had a change of heart.
As a matter of fact, none of the Cullen's were. I looked to our table in a last desperate hope and found he was alas, still missing. Suckish life.
The last parts of the day were fuzzy and hard to remember but I got notes taken down as if the information flew right out of my skull but made a pit stop to my page before its departure.
I was actually looking forward to some mope time with me and a stress pillow accompanied by some tissues but I instantly received a phone call from Jessica saying she had to cancel. Mike had finally plucked up the courage to ask her out and take my frigging advice. Bout time but did he have to do it for the one day I was going out to get my mind off of things and Jacob had been scarce recently. I decided to check my email.
There were almost six from Alice. Each getting longer and snippier with time and growing number of email. I decided without the will I would force an email to her.
Sorry Woody. I have been super busy fighting Mike away from humping my leg, seriously he needs some good loving which he should be getting of the sluts accomplice. She is nice enough but a TOTAL sheep. Oh yeah, I almost punched this Lauren girl today, but Edward Cullen stopped me. Jen is pregnant and getting hitched, I will try to snag you an invite but she will be pissed when she finds out that her news will be on tomorrow's school newspaper.

I sent that off to her and decided to read my night away. I remember my mum and dad trying to get me some none mystical reading to occupy my mind but I was always drawn to books like the Mary-Janice Davidson series of Queen Betsy, the vampire queen.
It seemed that every single one I attempted to get into was an epic fail. One had the hero named Edward. Not a chance so I flicked to the next one, Edmund. Way too close for my liking to be honest so in the end I just pulled out my trusty undead and un-something series and began to read something worth reading.
I was laughing then suddenly felt really tired, next thing I knew the sky was orange and I had slept... a lot.
In a mad rush to make dinner I decided to just order in. Mum wouldn't be immensely pleased but right now I didn't care. My mum was my mum, she would be happy as long as I paid and I made sure I could. I ordered pizza, margherita, garlic cheesy bread and a pepperoni. This would be rather pleasant.
At about 5 my mum came in and the pizza had just arrived. "Alix?"
"In the kitchen mum!" she wandered in with her bag on her shoulder and fresh crisp book in her hand. "Just in the nick of time pizza JUST came." I giggled as I placed the pizzas in the centre of the table.
"Ordered in?"
"Fell asleep." I admitted and she nodded taking off her coat and bag and placing them on her coat hook. "We have garlic cheesy bread, pepperoni and regular. Take your pick." I grabbed a slice of each and placed them on my plate. I know, but I love my food.
What surprised me was that Jen walked in with Daniel on her arm. No time like the present for the truth to be revealed. "Hey Alix." She didn't sound pleased. "Anything you want to say to me before I scream at you!?"
"I didn't tell anyone but Angela. The bitch of the century listened in and then told the WHOLE school. I am so sorry but now you have nothing to hide." I tried to reason and she huffed.
"Jen I believe her." Daniel defended. "We talked and she wouldn't tell anyone anything without your blessing." Jen looked at him in awe with the deepness of the connection between my soon to be brother-in-law. She nodded and apologised to me and we ate in silence. Nothing to talk about really, I guess. She was mad but silenced; I think I could learn to love this Daniel.
After dinner mum and I were left to ourselves as Jen began to feel tired so Daniel went with her to look after her. Now was the time to ask her about going shopping tomorrow with Jess and Angela. "Hey mum, you know Jess Stanley right?" I asked and she nodded whilst swallowing her sip of coffee I made her.
"Yes." She voiced for measure.
"And Angela Webber?" she nodded again but I began speaking before she could waste time to voice her thoughts and actions again. "Cool, would it be okay if I went into Port Angeles with them to shop for dresses. They need opinions and I want to mooch." At one shop in particular.
"Sounds good sweetie, it would be nice for you to spend some time with someone other than Jake." She joked and walked off to her study. If only she knew who ELSE I was spending time with.
Shitty chapter I know but my friend was nagging and wouldn't let me sleep tonight without it. You know who you are woody lol! Thanks for reading and review please, I would very much like it since then I know whether to carry on, I will anyway but some thought would be pleasant too!
