Chapter 6
Sleepover
Rosalie and Alice were standing on the staircase in pajamas. They had pillows in each arm.
"What...?" I started to ask, but had a loss for words.
They smiled at me. "Sleepover!"
Alice dropped her pillows on the ground. "I called Isabella Newton and told her to bring some friends for a sleepover."
I looked dazed. "We just met Isabella today. What makes you think she'll come?"
Before she could answer I heard a car pull into our driveway.
"Go get dressed!" Rosalie ordered pushing me up the stairs. I did as she said. I put on baby blue lounge pants and a black tank top. My hair looked messy so I threw it into a sloppy bun.
When I came down, the living room was completely transformed. There were pillows scattered all over the floor. I didn't realize we had so many. Giant popcorn bowls were evenly dispersed throughout the room and three 2 liter bottles of soda were on the table. Alice was standing by the door waiting for them to knock. Outside, I heard whispers and squeals. They rang the doorbell. Alice immediately opened it and squealed.
"Oh I'm so glad you could come on such short notice!"
Six girls filed in hugging pillows and sleeping bags. Their eyes were wide with awe.
"You actually live here?"
"It's so big!"
"I can't believe Isabella is friends with them!"
I saw Isabella standing in the front. She saw me on the stairs. I walked down slowly.
"Hello again." She said.
I smiled politely. "Welcome to our home."
The girls looked nervous, but Isabella seemed right at home. We got settled into the living room. Rosalie grabbed a remote and turned on the music.
Isabella walked up to me. "Where are the boys?"
I saw a couple girls glance our way. She must be speaking for the group. Just then, Emmett and Jasper came down from upstairs.
"We're leaving!" Jasper called over the music.
"Yeah! There's too much girlishness here! I can't take it!" Emmett covered his ears.
"We're going over to Jacob's. He place stinks, but it's better than this." Emmett added.
They walked-more like ran-to the door. A few minutes later, Renesmee ran in. I turned the music down.
"Hey, Renesmee. We're having a slumber party." Rosalie said.
Renesmee was still pressed against the door with a terrified look on her face.
"I was ambushed! They just came in and made themselves at home! In my home! They locked me out of my home!" She cried angrily.
"Join us! You can find something to wear in my closet." Alice said. "In fact, let's all go!"
The girls looked at each other hesitantly.
"Her closet is bigger than a mall." I whispered to one girl.
The others over heard me. They practically fell over each other following Alice. The girls froze when she opened her closet door.
"oh."
"my."
"god."
"Do you like it?" Alice taunted.
She walked to the back of the closet and opened three other doors. A shoe closet. A purse closet. And a hat closet.
Alice and Rosalie screamed, "Dress-up!"
The girls grabbed dresses and shoes to try on. I was lost in a sea of clothing. I felt a hand grab me.
"Come on. You'll get trampled."
Once I was to safety, I turned to thank the girl. Surprise, surprise. It was Isabella. It was very loud what with all the screaming girls and music.
"I'm doing hair!" I heard Rosalie yell.
"I'm doing make-up!" Alice called.
I laughed. Alice must love this. For so long it was just me, who hated it. Now she had six girls begging for it. I walked out of the room. Isabella followed.
"Why aren't you in there trying on clothes?" I asked.
"I get enough of it from my mom." She replied grabbing a handful of popcorn. "My brother is pretty phyched about your date." She commented.
"Yeah, me too. Can't wait." I agreed half-heartily.
"He says your mom is Isabella Swan?"
I nodded.
"I'm surprised my mom allowed him to name me that! Did you even date him?" She asked grabbing another handful and shoving it in her mouth.
I rolled my eyes. "No! I had gym with him. He was my par-" I stopped. Wait, did she ask if I ever dated him?
She smiled. "I know what you are. Question is, why did you come back?"
I was confused and horrified and at a loss for words for the second time tonight.
She continued. "I mean, why not wait till the generation that knew you died. Mr. Banner recognized you and all the parents in this town will too."
Now I was just terrified. "What are you talking about? He knew my mom." I recited in a calm voice.
She rolled her eyes. "Cut the act. I know what you are." She whispered looking around to make sure no one was listening.
I didn't say anything.
"Of course, if I were you, I would have at least changed my name." She added nonchalantly.
I stared at her staying silent. I thought about the Miranda rights. I have the right to remain silent. Anything can and will be held against me in the court of law(meaning Volturi, I added). I don't thinkI have the right to an attorney, so one may or may not be appointed to me. Even if one was appointed to me, they would be under the influence of the Volturi. Great. I lost before I even began.
Please Alice. You had to have seen this coming! Help me!
Just then, I got an idea. I stretched my shield away from me. *Edward, if you can hear me, I need your help. Please help me!...now I feel stupid. I'm talking to myself...in my head. Edward, please be close enough to hear this. I'll feel like an idiot if I find out I'm talking to myself!...*
I didn't move my eyes from hers. She stayed still, too. Just when I was about to give up hope, Edward came in. He saw Isabella and me on the floor.
"Hello." he said coldly.
Isabella stood up. "Hello Edward. Nice to finally meet you." She reached her hand out to shake. Edward didn't move.
"Edward, Isabella and I were just talking." I kept my shield away with ease. He read my mind and saw the whole conversation.
"Okay. So what are we?" He welcomed with a taunting smile.
"You don't need me to tell you what you are." She replied. "besides, I know you can read my thoughts."
Edward didn't look shaken. "Okay, big deal. We're vampires." She obviously didn't expect this. "So, what do you get out of knowing? Are you going to tell everyone? What do you think they'll do?"
Edward was walking towards her. He had a menacing vampire look on his face. The kind that sends shivers down your spine. Even I was scared just looking at him!
"Um...well...uh..." She slowly backed away terrified. Too afraid to turn away from his glare. She tripped over the pillows laying on the ground.
"Did you really think you could scare us? Let me tell you something...we don't scare so easily." He stopped right above her. "Party's over. Get out."
Carlisle walked in holding a book. He looked up and saw Edward looming over Isabella. "Edward what are you doing here? Didn't your brothers make themselves clear?"
I ran over to Carlisle. "I called him. She knows."
He looked back at the girl wide-eyed. "Yes, Carlisle. She knows that we are vampires." Edward answered an unspoken question. "She says she found out by herself, but I know she's lying." He reached down and pulled her to her feet. He pointed to a chair. Isabella jumped to obey.
"Now Isabella. Explain." She looked scared and nervous. "I believe your innocent. I can see it, but who put you up to it?" Edward used his trance-like smile and his smoldering eyes.
I had to stop right there for two reasons.
One: I love leaving you hanging :P
Two: If I continued this chapter would be super long!
Oh my god! The end is so close! I'm so excited for you.
I'll post the next chapter ASAP!
I've still got Emmett's Mistake I'm writing, too.
R&R please. I live for your comments...and Edward, but let's not get into that...
