So here is an update :]

Thanks to all who have reviewed.

I'm thinking about ending this soon. I know. I suck.

But I want to wish all of my fellow Americans a happy Independence Day, AKA 4th of July, tomorrow.

I hope you all enjoy the fireworks, unlike me, who will be sitting at work till 1 am ( playing with sparklers cuz I cant have Roman Candles in a city/ public place near the road.

Dont get arrested it you have fireworks that go in the air if they are illegal in you town and have lots of water near by.

Have fun :]]]

&& enjoy the chapter


"… So will you two watch the house?" I heard Sam ask Howard and Abi. We finally made it out of our room at noon, instantaneously Sam sought out Howard.

"No problem. Just don't get killed by Ed's," I cringed at the name, "family of vampires," chuckled Howard.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Sam exclaimed, and then she ran upstairs. The sound of suitcases hitting the floor followed.

"Looks like I should go help her before she packs the whole house," I sighed as I turned toward the stairs.

About two hours later and three huge suitcases full of clothes, shoes, make-up, and an assortment of hair products, accessories, curlers, flat irons, ect. we were finally packed and ready to make the drive to the airport. I loaded up the car with my bag and Sam's three while Sam was inside saying a tearful goodbye to Abs, I honestly had no idea why they were crying we weren't going to be gone that long. I decided to make a quick run to my parent's home; checked all the windows and doors to make sure they were sealed up tight. I made my back up the drive to the steel gate, shut it and chained it back up.

I turned and took one last look at the house, "wish me luck mom and dad," I whispered. I then ran back to where Sam was. Once I made it back she was waiting by the car. She gave me a questioning look and all I could do was smile in return.

"Ready to go dear?" I asked.

"Mmm," she replied. She got into the car, I followed in suit. As we drove out of the driveway we waved to our long-time friends. The silence was becoming unbearable.

"Are you ok? You sure about this?" I broke the silence.

"I'm nervous, that's all," she paused. "They hate me. What if this turns into a train wreck, like when I met your Great Aunt Millicent?"

I couldn't help but laugh at the thought of the day Sam met Aunt Millie, my mother had to separate the two of them. Aunt Millie was her normal, crude, proper, upper-class, old fashioned, God fearing self, and Sam was well her outspoken, well educated modern woman, it did not end well. How could I have gone 90 years without that memory? Soon we were at the airport, we parked Sam's car in the long term parking lot.

"Sam, why did you have to buy this car?" I groaned. "Why couldn't you have bought a Mercedes or a Porsche? I know you can afford one."

"They are un-practical and imported. Why would I buy a foreign car when it takes away jobs from many blue collard Americans who are struggling? I'll stick to domestic, not everyone has money like your family some people can't afford a lay off. Haven't you watched the news about Chrysler and GM? What about all those poor shop workers, Detroit is in turmoil, everyone is laid-off and on well fair. Do you like putting people on the streets? Anyways I like Fords. Ford Fusions are just so cute," she rambled.

"But they don't go fast," I whined.

"Buy a muscle car. You know a Camaro, a Mustang, a Corvette…"

"But I love my Volvo."

"Volvo's are putting Americans in poverty. Edward, what happened to you, you use to understand the less fortunate?"

"I still do, but I like my fast, imported cars."

"Ugh!" She muttered and stormed towards the check-in counter.

After about an hour we were in first class seats on our way to Seattle. It was a peaceful quiet, but I couldn't help but wonder what type of special things Sam can do. She knows what vampires do, she watched us for months, but what about witches?

"Sam," I asked.

"Yes?"

"I know you know what we, my kind are capable of, but what about yours?" I questioned.

"Hmm, lets see," she teased, but soon her face grew serious. "Many things. I can appear out of no where, disappear into thin air, I can make many things happen to people, spells and such, I can make things float and move. But I don't really do anything unless I feel I have to; I want to be normal; I just needed the eternity."

"Will you show me sometime? I'm curious as to what can happen."

"You sure Edward?"

"Yes, yes I am."

"All right then. I'll show you sometime," she said with a smile.

The rest of our flight was peaceful. Once we excited our plane we found our luggage and made our way to where I last parked my Volvo. Thankfully, Alice did not take my keys when she left, so it should be there, unless Rosalie hot-wired it. My thoughts were broken by the sight of my pride and joy.

"This," I said as I pointed to my shiny, silver car, "is my Volvo."

"Poverty," was the reply Sam made.

The drive to Forks was quick; Sam never once complained about my speed, she seemed to enjoy it. I have to admit I liked that; oddly her amusement and gleeful expression turned me on in ways I never thought could happen. Damn. I am a man.

I saw the hidden drive way to my family's home and turned on it. I hear a gasp come from beside me when the house was in sight. My whole family was home, their thoughts are very clear, but they know its Sam and me here. They can hear my Volvo and smell Sam's scent. I parked the car and grabbed our bags; Sam, in the meantime, was nervously standing by the car. I walked back to her and with my eyes asked if she was ready. Thankfully, she was good and reading a look, because she just nodded. I motioned with me head for her to follow me up to the door, and she did. My hand made its way to the door knob and turned it, then pushed the door open. Both Sam and I held our breaths as too what was going to happen next.

What I wrote about imports and Detroit is true. I am originally from Michigan and my family worked in the shops.

We left after my step dads shop went and there was basicaly a state wide hiring freeze. So its not pretty up there, it was bearin when i went up to visit a month ago.

But I hope you liked the chapter.. ill update soon
