"Dee?! Dee wake up come on we are here!" Alice shook me to wake me up. I was startled so I gasped when I finally opened my eyes and realized it was indeed time to get up. The car door was open, all my stuff was out of the car but my cell phone, which was currently held tightly in my left hand, and me. "Okay, okay." I mumbled and got out. It was freezing! I started to follow Alice when I realized I had NO idea what time it was. It was really dark. "Alice what time is it?" I asked her as I followed her up some steps, I could only guess it was the front porch to her house. "Dee, I am having you meet the rest of my family, so please try to be alert." She told me with a smile. I smiled weakly at her. If I had some soda, I would be good as new for about 3 hours.
"Here ya go Dee." Jasper said walking up to me, handing me my soda. I grabbed it from him slowly, still half awake half asleep. "Thanks man." I said and chugged the rest of it. Then I was alert to everything around me. Oh the wonders of Dr. Pepper in the morning. Jasper simply laughed as Alice tugged me inside the house. There was quite a scene in front of me. It seemed like a dream, how good these people all really looked. They only slightly resembled what my imagination put forth after reading all of the Twilight Saga. "Dee this is Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, Edward, Bella, Renesme, and Jacob." Alice introduced. I shook Carlisle, Emmett, Edward, Bella, Jacob, and Rosalie's hands. Renesme wanted a hug, so I giggled and gave her a hug. She looked about 9 years old. She put her hand on my face, and I gasped seeing the images flooding my mind. What I made out of it was that she was happy to meet me. "And I'm VERY happy to meet you Renesme." I said with a smile. She giggled and ran into her Mother's arms.
"It is really nice to meet you all, and I want to thank you for everything," I said and I felt the blush creep up on my face. "YES! WE GOT A BLUSHER IN THE HOUSE AGAIN!" Emmett yelled. I laughed and my face probably turned redder than it already was. "Stop embarrassing her Emmett Jeez." Jake said hopping up off the couch. "Its fine," I said in a small voice and laughed. I didn't look at my phone yet, even though it was vibrating like crazy. C.J was probably wondering where the hell I was at and why I didn't text back, but I didn't want to seem rude, so I shoved my phone in my pocket and looked around. Everyone was smiling at me, and then Esme spoke. "Dee would you like anything to eat?" she asked me. I blushed slightly. "Uhm… Sure." I said with a smile. "Here follow me." She said and I followed her into the huge kitchen.
Everything in the kitchen was custom designed, you could totally tell. And truth be told, whoever did these cabinets did a better job than my dad probably could. "Why thank you, I did the cabinets." Edward said poking his head around the corner. I laughed. "Well you did a lovely job." I told him, I knew I was blushing again. Goodness when would the blushing stop?! I heard him chuckle. "Thanks again Dee, and don't be embarrassed, you will get used to all of this eventually." He told me. I nodded. "Would you like pancakes, eggs, and bacon?" Esme asked me. "No thank you Mrs. Cullen, just something small would be nice." I told her getting my phone out of my pocket and smiling. What on earth time was it? Six in the morning?! "Well alright dear, if you like. And please, call me Esme." Esme told me with a smile and got out some cereal and a glass of orange juice and set me at the table. I was going through all my texts, only paying attention to half of what I was doing. 'Did you fall asleep on me?' 'Dee where are you?' 'Dee come on talk to me.' 'Did I hurt your feelings?' 'Dee if you don't text me back I'm GOING to call you soon.' I sighed at all the text messages, and as I was making my way for the table from the counter, trying to walk and reply at the same time, I tripped over something. I hit the floor hard, and sure enough, there was Emmett roaring with laughter.
"AND!!! AND WE GOT A CLUMSY ONE!!! YES I LOVE YOU ALICE!!" Emmett roared. I'm sure that if there were any neighbors around they would be able to hear him. I got up groaning as he continued to laugh. "Ow…" I winced as I took a step then sat down. Looks like I hurt my ankle. Oh well, it will feel better later. 'No C.J you didn't hurt my feelings, yes I fell asleep, and I cant tell you where I'm at.' I texted C.J back. I began to eat my cereal when I felt someone behind me. I looked over and it was Jacob. "Mind if I join you?" he asked grabbing a box of cereal, the milk, and a bowl out of a cabinet. "Sure go ahead." I said and took another bite.
If I was to be honest here, if Embry looked half as good as Jacob, id be happy for the rest of my life. Renessme was going to be a very lucky woman. "So I heard that my friend Embry is going to imprint on you." He said sitting in front of me. "That's what I hear." I said with a smile and my phone went off. "Excuse me." I said with a blush and answered. "Yeah what?" "Dee where are you?" C.j asked me. "Uhm my mom's why?" I asked. "Well I went to your house this morning EXPECTING you to be there, but you weren't. I was just making sure you didn't get yourself into trouble." He explained. "And you couldn't have said that through a text?" I asked and raised an eyebrow. "Boy is someone grouchy this morning." C.J commented. "Well I'm a little busy, just text me." I said and hung up. I didn't want to deal with him at the moment.
"Sorry about that." I apologized to Jacob. "No prob." He said with a smile. I smiled back and took another bite, then went for my orange juice. "I have a question…" I said to Jake. He looked at me as if wondering if he could hear my mind to see what it would be. "Well ask away." He said and took a bite of his food. "Is Embry in your pack or Sam's?" I asked. This sort of took him off guard, but he answered with a grim expression. "He is in my pack. I've had to sing songs in my head every time I go on patrol so that way he doesn't find out that I know what he is planning to do." He told me. "I'm sorry…" I whispered, and I truly was. I didn't like anyone to have to go through any unnecessary pain. The rest of our meal was silent, and when we both finished I got up and took his bowl for him.
"I could have got that…" he said. "Oh… I'm sorry, it's just…. It's a habit." I said turning redder than I had that entire night. Truth be told I wasn't even thinking about it. I was just used to it. I take my dads plate, C.J's plate… just about any guy's plate when they are done. I guess that's how I was 'trained'. Jake laughed at the redness of my face and shook his head. "Its kool kid, don't worry about it." I pouted my lips at him calling me kid and turned around towards the sink. "I hate being called a kid…" I mumbled to myself. When I finished the dishes my phone rang… again. I sighed and went to the table to answer it, but someone grabbed it before me. "You really don't want to answer that." Edward said holding my phone just out of arms reach. "Uhm… Why?" I asked. "Its that kid Brian again." He told me. He must know something I don't. I debated with myself on whether I wanted to find out from Brian why I don't want to answer my phone, or if I should just take Edward's advice. I took Edward's advice and he sighed, placing my ringing phone back on the table.
"Thanks… I was just trying to look out for you." He told me with a crooked grin. "No, thank you… truth be told I didn't really want to talk to him anyways." I said with a yawn. He smiled apologetically and my phone finally stopped ringing. I reached for it, to view my recent texts. C.J and Taylor always texted me, unless they were asleep. I sighed when I read the next one, and I decided it was best not to reply. 'I know you're not at your moms.' Yeah, I'm soooo not going to reply to that, it would get me in one hell of a lot of trouble.
Alice came into view from behind Edward, who had been staring at me every since I stopped looking at him. I didn't even really wonder why. I mean, I was the only human in the house… surrounded by Vampires, a werewolf, and Nessie, who, if you remember correctly, is half human half vampire. It made sense that someone was bound to stare at me. Jake had already gone off to do whatever it was that he went to go do. "Come on Dee Dee its time to get ready." I shot Edward a pleading glance, knowing what this meant. "Sorry Dee, I can't help you." Edward said. "At least throw me my phone?" I called after him as Alice tugged me through the living room. The next second my phone was in my hand. "I saw that if I was to throw it you wouldn't catch it." He said with a chuckle. I blushed again and before I could reply Alice was tugging me up the stairs faster than my feet wanted to go.
We got into, what I assumed was her bathroom, and she handed me my cigarettes, a lighter, and an ash tray. "Are you SURE Esme wont mind?" I asked. Alice laughed slightly and sat me down on a chair in the middle of the huge bathroom. "I'm positive. Oh and I sent Jasper to go get you a few full throttles, to keep you awake." She told me as she went through the bags of clothing we got last night. I groaned. I hoped she wouldn't make me wear a skirt. All I wanted to wear was that cute pair of jeans, a regular –well regular for me- shirt, and a hoodie. "Don't worry Dee, just smoke and let the master pick you out your outfit." She told me, not looking up.
I sighed again and lit a cigarette, and started to text C.J again. 'If I'm not at my mom's, then where would I be?" I asked him. I took a few drags, waiting for C.J's reply, and for Alice to tell me to hit the shower. Then abruptly she looked up, and I could have sworn I heard her curse under her breath. "I'm going to KILL that mutt…" she said.
