Stephenie Meyer wrote Twilight I don't own anything but this crazy story and a very cute guitar player named Aiden J.
Aiden's POV:
I was waiting patiently almost exactly where my band mates had dropped me off. My 'best friend' Sascha had insisted on me getting a ride with Renesmee. Sometimes I think he hasn't forgiven me for sleeping with Candi. But really who hasn't slept with her? I was counting all of the guys she'd bragged about in my head when a sports car pulled up beside me. It was an Aston Martin Vanquish, which was my dream car since I was thirteen. I really shouldn't have been surprised when Renesmee rolled down the driver's window.
"Are you going to stare at the car all night or are we going to a party?" She asked, flashing her dazzling white smile. I had been around her for almost two weeks and I already was feeling more intense feelings for her, than the ones I developed in my year-long relationship with Tiffany. I was already getting lost in her beauty when she snapped me out of my trance. "Aiden!"
"uh yeah I'm coming." I hurried over to the passenger side and got in.
"So where are we going?" she asked, while turning on the advanced GPS system.
"1358 West Patterson." I answered quickly. I'd been going to that address at least once a week since I was fifteen. It was the home of my band's bass player, Sweeney Bright. There was one thing on my mind I had to ask. "Where exactly did you get this car?"
"it belongs to my dad." she answered.
"Does he know you have it?" I didn't know why, but I was very intimidated of Renesmee's foster family and I didn't want to get on their bad side. She laughed.
"No he doesn't." She grabbed a CD from the holder attached to the visor and put in into the player. I recognized it immediately, the CD was Nevermind and the song was, Smells like Teen Spirit by Nirvana. At that moment I knew I had found the most perfect person on the planet. Not only was she smart, extremely beautiful and very interesting, but she also had great taste in music!
Renesmee's POV
I knew I had made the right decision in music by the look on Aiden's face. Personally I'm more of a Boys Like Girls person but Aiden seemed like a Nirvana guy. I acted like I was paying attention to the useless GPS for the sake of my human charade. I didn't need it but I had to seem like a normal girl that gets lost without directions. We were a mile away from Patterson when I could hear the music from the party. We were two blocks away when Aiden heard it.
"damn it's like these guys want the cops called on us!" Aiden exclaimed. I chuckled at how human he sounded. Something I wasn't used to after spending my life with vampires and werewolves. I parked the car as close to the house as I could.
"So who's house is this?" I asked, looking at the fairly large white house crawling with teenagers. The smell of alcohol wafted from it.
"Uh Sweeney's" he answered simply. As soon as Aiden and I exited the car, five people ran out of the house towards us. I recognized them as Aiden's band.
"Hey you must be the girl that Aiden's been obsessing over." a rugged looking blonde boy asked. Aiden looked away from me, embarrassed.
"Maybe, I'm Renesmee." I tried my best at acting mysterious and sexy.
"Yep you're the one." a boy with fiery red hair said and smiled at me.
"You'll have to excuse these idiots. They aren't used to human contact." a very handsome young man with chin-length black hair said as he noogied the blonde and redhead. I had the urge to laugh because I'm actually not used to human contact. A tall black boy chuckled at Aiden's mortified face.
"You guys are so rude!" the only girl in the group scolded. She looked about seventeen and was a few inches taller than me. You could easily tell she's in a rock band by her appearance. She had shoulder length, light brown hair with platinum blond highlights and she had on too much eye makeup with dark red lipstick. "I'm Candace but you can call me Candi and this is my brother Sascha." she introduced herself and the guy with the black hair. "This is Dante." she patted the shoulder of the dark boy. "and these idiots are Sweeney and Freddy." her heart sped up when she said Freddy's (the blonde guy)name.
"uh guys can you please leave?" Aiden asked, trying to avoid any further embarrassment. It was adorable but I couldn't help but realize something. Aiden's band acted very much like my favorite pack of wolves which was very depressing to think about.
"Actually we need your help with the keg." Sascha ordered.
"come on Renesmee I need to fix my hair." Candi said and gestured for me to follow her. This is girl code for 'we need to talk'. I followed Candi through the crowded house until we got to the bathroom. She closed the door behind me.
"So what do you want to talk about?" I asked casually.
"I can tell you aren't a gold digging skank like Tiffany." she got a comb out of her pocket and started running it through her hair.
"Oh….that's good." I'm really not good at breaking the ice with people and this was no exception.
"yes it is. I'm going to give you a freaking road map on Aiden. Ok?" she offered.
"sure." I wasn't about to turn down help.
"Aiden is one of those organic food only vegetarians. I think it's because his foster mom was a hippy I don't know. Anyways he isn't as innocent as he seems, trust me." She looked away after she said that. I was pretty sure it meant that like most guys, Aiden had a dark side.
"No guys are innocent." I said casually.
"You know you aren't too bad. Aiden finally found someone who's not awful." she put her comb back into her purse and left the bathroom. I saw Aiden in plain sight helping Sascha carry a keg of beer to the corner of the large living room. I considered offering to help them but it might have been a little suspicious if a 5'5 118 pound girl could carry a keg by herself. They set it down carefully and Aiden came over to me.
"Sorry about that." he apologized.
"It's fine I got to have some girl talk with Candi." He wrapped his arm around my waist and led me to a corner that was less crowded.
"So what did you girls talk about?" he seemed very curious.
"oh not much." I smiled devilishly.
"I'm guessing she talked about me?" he picked up a cup from the drinks table and smelled it before taking a drink.
"What's in that?" I asked him. Growing up the only drinking I was around was Charlie and him occasionally having a beer around me.
"I don't think anything too strong but to be safe I'm only having one." he said while looking at the liquid. For the next hour or so we stayed like that and talked about things like music and how the academy awards are rigged. It was about midnight when I heard the sirens. Nobody else did.
I contemplated yelling 'COPS' like they did in the movies but the sirens must have been from a mile away. I figured telling Aiden would be safest. "Aiden." I interrupted his rant about the film Slumdog Millionaire.
"What is it?" he asked.
"I can hear sirens." by the look on his face he didn't follow. "The cops are coming!" I said sternly.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"Yes I have pretty good hearing." that sounded human enough right?
"oh crap!" he jumped up onto the couch and yelled at the top of his lungs, "COPS!" at that everyone frenzied out the back door as fast as they could in their intoxication. I grabbed Aiden's arm and pulled him out the door to the Aston Martin. As soon as we were in the car I started the engine and peeled out away from the house. The speed at first seemed to frighten Aiden but he relaxed as soon as we were a few miles away from the party and I slowed down to 70.
"Thank you." he said out of nowhere.
"for?" I asked paying attention to the road.
"For saving my ass back there. I can't afford to get arrested." he sounded very sincere.
"Anytime." when I knew we were in the clear from the cops, I pulled over by a park and got out of the car. I inhaled the clean, fresh air deeply. Unlike Forks which smelled like moss and rain Ithaca smelled more like a city. But not dirty like Seattle, which was the only big city I'd been to before New York. Aiden walked up behind me and wrapped his arms around me again like he did earlier. It still felt wrong but not nearly as much as it did then. I refused to admit to myself that the reason it felt so wrong was that I wanted the person behind me to be the same temperature, not a few degrees cooler.
After a few minutes of staying like that, Aiden let go of me and turned me around to I was facing him. His heart rate was increasing. He looked like he was debating with himself in his head. "Aiden if you have something to say then say it. I can't take the anticipation!" I said almost jokingly. I really was eager to find out what he had to say.
"fine….I like you." he said shyly as he looked down at his feet. I'm sure my already fast heart increased a few beats when he said that.
"Like friends like or…like, like?" I asked, though I already knew the answer.
"Like, like." he whispered and closed the distance between my lips and his. Of course Jake and I had kissed before but this was different, I actually had to be sure I didn't hurt Aiden. Kissing Aiden felt wrong because he wasn't Jacob but, I couldn't help but think that it felt a little bit right. Jacob would have wanted me to be happy wouldn't he?
Just as that thought came to my mind my phone started to ring. Aiden made an annoyed noise because we were interrupted. The caller ID said it was my dad. I was about to hit the ignore button but I didn't and answered the call. "Hello?" I answered like I hadn't just been making out with a human.
"you are so grounded that coffee is going to look at you and say 'damn!'" My dad greeted.
"Hello to you too." I said sarcastically.
"Where is my car?" he asked. He was very very pissed off.
"I have it don't worry I'm coming home now." I was glad I'm my dad's daughter or else I would have been eaten for taking his Aston Martin. Not a very good play on words I know.
"You'd better be home in 20 minutes or I'm sending you to an all girls private school!" he hung up.
"wow I could hear him from here!" Aiden laughed.
"This isn't funny I need to drive you home." I got back into the car and as soon as he was in I asked, "Where do you live?"
"The apartment building on 5th and Caldwell." he answered. I didn't even bother with the GPS and began to speed towards 5th. I was going to have to face some serious punishment when I got home but being able to live for that one night was worth it.
