Thanks for the review, memorylent, and thanks to those who have alerted. Er, i don't own twilight, nor do i own the characters. How i wish i do...
"Actually I like you. No, I mean I think I love you. Its…more than just friendship, you know, I don't know how it happened either and …" I stopped him before he continued.
I am not ready for this yet. What should I say so that I will not hurt him?
Will's Thoughts
Gosh, Will, you just scare her.
Will oh Will, why must you act upon your sixth sense which is always not reliable?
I just got rejected the moment she laid her fingers on my lips to stop my speech.
There was silence between the both of us for a while.
Just when I thought our just mended friendship was ruined, she spoke, and I saw a faint light of hope
"Erm Will, I think I sort of know what you meant by that. But you see, I'm dealing with lots of things right now that I don't really have time for that. If you get what I mean. We can be friends first." She said.
"Sure, sure, I understand. I am sorry." I said.
"Ugh, can you please stop saying I am sorry. Gosh, its annoying." She sort of screamed.
Olivia's Thoughts
Why can't he simply understand my situation?
I am new to all these stuff, and its hard for me to handle all at once.
Besides, I barely know him, how can I take our relationship to the next level. I understood myself well enough to know that I will regret if the "lover" relationship would end just because we did not know each other well enough.
Since he was so inconsiderate, I decided it was pay back time. I shall make him think I was mad at him.
I started running, heading towards home. Will was behind, keeping up with my pace at first, without even having to try but then he slowed down and came to a complete halt, unsure of what he ought to do even if he did catch up with me.
"Edward." I whispered, "Is that you?" Then I came out with a plan in my mind.
He appeared right in front of me and put me on his back, "Hold tight girl."
Closing my eyes and wrapping around Edward tightly, we sped off towards out house. The cooling wind caressed my face and brushed against my hair, I felt as though I was flying.
Within seconds, we reached the front door. In my mind, I thanked him and signaled him to carry on with the plan.
I went upstairs and knocked on Alice's room, "Come in Olive!" she said as if she knew what I was about to ask.
Of course she knows, she has visions, remember?
"Alice, do you think my plan will work out or will it fail? Will he hate me? Oh no, I think I'd better stop Edward." I paced to and fro worriedly.
Alice shook her head and covered her ears, when I stopped, she said, "Are you done?", emphasizing on the word done.
I nodded. "Okay, the plan will work, and he will not hate you, someone is going to give him some adult advice."
Then I heard Will asking Edward, gasping for air whenever he could, "Is… Is she mad…at… at me?" So, he decided to run after me after all.
Edward said politely, "No, she's not." I made a face, he's supposed to say I am mad. Never mind, I'm going to talk to him later.
"Its just that you took the wrong move, you shouldn't tell her you love her in that way. Everything around her happened so fast she couldn't even stop to breathe. And seriously, your continuous apology is getting on her nerves. She hates it." He chuckled.
"Oh, right, I should have thought of that. I should have waited for a while before confessing." He sighed.
"Don't blame yourself my friend, it's already happened. So let it be." Edward comforted.
"Erm," He sounded as if he wanted to call Edward's name, but he did not know his name.
"Oh I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Elbert, Gloria's brother." Edward said.
Gosh I almost forgot he used a different name too. Emmett used Garrett while Alice used Mary. Rosalie's Rosanna, Jasper's Casper and Bella's Isabelle.
"I forgot to introduce myself too. I'm William, in short Will. Elbert, I hope you can help me to tell Olivia I'm sorry." Will said, hoping he would say yes.
"I prefer to call you William.'' He paused. ''I don't think she will want you to apologize anymore,. To her, someone who has made a mistake only needs to apologize once, wholeheartedly. Then, that would be more than enough.." Edward said in his friendly tone.
Do i? Do I really think that way? Oh I do. Actually I do feel quite annoyed if someone keeps saying sorry again and again.
Will asked, as if Edward was his new best friend, "Right. What should I do then?"
"In my opinion, you should go home, and stop thinking. Just act normal when you're back to school. Treat her as a friend and get to know her more. Love at first sight is like heaven, but you still need to be friends first before you move on right?"
I heard Bella giggled while Emmett whispered, "Love at first sight is just like heaven, oh Rosalie, my dear. Wait, did he just say friends first? Bella, were you two friends first before both of you coupled?"
"Thanks so much for your advice Elbert. I really do appreciate it." Will gave Edward a hug.
"You're most welcomed." Edward hit his back lightly.
The car engine started and Will went home.
I rushed down and poked Edward's back, "Aren't you supposed to tell him I am mad? Ughh, he must think I am crazy for having acted that way!"
"No Olivia, Edward won't do that, because there is already pain and guilt in Will." Jasper said, as if finally freed himself of the torturous emotions Will was initially suffering from.
"Oh, sorry. I didn't know." I apologized.
"Stop saying sorry, its annoying." Edward teased.
I turned my head towards Bella, and asked her, "So were you two friends first, or did you couple first?"
Edward covered my mouth with his icy cold hands, "No, love, they don't need to know that."
Bella giggled, "It's alright," I felt my goose bumps, they were so lovey-dovey even in front of me. "We were friends for a week, but minus the days that we didn't see each other, friends for only two days."(Actually, i'm not so sure how many days. My forum friend told me so.)
Finally he let his hands off my mouth, "Ha! Friends for a week, I'm not gonna be like you and Bella. Ne-ne-ne-bu-bu."
"Really? Alice, can you see her future again?" Edward asked Alice who was on Jasper's laps by now. She closed her eyes, concentrating.
"Aww, I thought she was going to give up after a week. She really wanted to get to know him first." Edward pouted.
"Daddy, don't be so mean." Ness backed me up.
"Thanks Ness." I hugged her. "If you may excuse me, I need to do some thinking."
"Wait! Not again ,Olive!" Alice complained. I couldn't help but laugh at her expression, she looked like a little girl whose lollipop has been snatched off from her hands.
"Then what do you expect me to do? I played the piano for half a day, and now Will confessed all of a sudden. I think I deserve some time to think things outs." I asked Alice politely, but when I saw her smirk I could tell she was having some plans.
Oh—oh, whatever she had in her vision wasn't a good one.
She danced to me and grabbed my hands, "Olive, since you are sort of gloomy these few days, I think we need to go on a shopping spree to hunt for brightly-coloured outfits for you."
Before I could open my mouth to protest, everyone of them shouted, "Count me in Alice, I want to be there during her first day of shopping with YOU!"
I saw Emmett rushed upstairs and there were sounds of things being thrown on the floor before he came back down, with a video camera.
Alice grabbed her handbag and danced gracefully out of the house, to the garage. "Let's see, we shall take the Ferrari and the Porsche. We need bright colours!"
Jacob tapped my back and whispered, "Beware Olivia, she isn't her sane self when she's in the mall."
Alice shouted, "I heard that Jacob! Don't you think I won't dare to hurt you just because you're Ness's boyfriend."
Everyone laughed while Ness held onto Jacob's face, "No, she won't dare."
I swear I will not sit with Emmett anymore, he alone took half the seat at the back of the car. In the end, we all had to cram.
I took out my silver cell phone, the same as all the Cullens, and pretended to play some games. But actually I was typing, Jasper, you love books, you love history, you love the library, don't you? If you do, roll your eyes.
He did, he rolled his eyes. But Alice said, "Honey, you hate the mall?"
"No, Alice."
"Then why did you roll your eyes?"
"Oh…Well… I was… I was…" he was bad at lying
I shook my head, "Actually we are playing this game called 'imitate me', right Emmett?" I hit his lap.
"Yeah, we are supposed to imitate Jasper, do you want to join?" Emmett asked Alice, who rolled her eyes.
I giggled and mouthed thanks to Emmett.
I continued typing, Why not we go to the library instead of shopping? If you nudge me that's a yes , if no, hit Emmett.
He nudged me. But Emmett snatched my phone and typed, Why not we go to the arcade?
Jasper and I rolled our eyes.
I mischievously said, "Mum, Teddy took my phone."
Rosalie turned and shot Emmett a glare, "Give it back to her, Emmett."
I smirked and took my phone back. Sorry, but we have to act a little right? Okay, we go to the library then to the arcade. Its 2pm now, Alice will probably head back home when the clock strikes 12. So we can go home after dinner.
Emmett took my phone and typed Kay, after dinner that is. Jas, are you in?
Emmett nodded, so Jasper and I nodded too, as if we were imitating him.
Now, we need an escape plan.
Before I could tell them what my plan was, we found ourselves at the entrance of the mall. I let out a groan, and got out of the car.
I managed a wink at Jasper and Emmett, before Alice pulled me into one of the stores, and left me staring at the clothes there. She went and chose some blouses, some tops, some skirts, "Olive! Get into the dressing room and I will be right there."
Dressing room. The saleswoman showed me where it is, and I walked into it, still thinking of my escape plan. It must be perfect. Alice could see the future when a person makes its decision, so I must keep changing what I ought to do. Maybe I shouldn't even think of it. Right.
In the dressing room, I took out my cell phone and messaged Jasper because I knew his phone was in silent mode. Jasper, whatever you do, you and Emmett stay near me because I can't make my decisions, yet… Knowing Alice.
Fortunately, Alice came into the dressing room right after I clicked send. She passed me a pile of clothes and told me to be quick.
I complained, "You expect me to try on all of these?" She nodded.
I made a face, drew the curtain, and changed. Finally, I was done.
Alice, what can you expect from her? Without a second thought, she went to the counter and paid for all.
The cashier smiled at me, "You have a nice sister, girl."
I replied, "No, she's not my sister. She's my mum. That's my dad." I pointed at Jasper.
Both the cashier and Alice were stunned. Oh my, she didn't see this? Great!
I heard all of them were laughing out there, and Alice went up to Edward. "You knew what she was thinking right? You knew that she was going to say that? Why didn't you tell me or at least, stop her?"
"Sorry, I thought she was just joking until she opened her mouth and I knew it was too late. It was funny though." Edward apologized.
"Funny? You think its funny? Now people will think that I'm pregnant when I was 14." Then they went on and on arguing as if there were no tomorrows.
I looked at Jasper and Emmett, who was recording the entire time. Then Jasper piggybacked me and ran out of the building at human speed. Once we were out of human sight, we sped really fast, making sure nobody was following us.
We reached the library and Jasper let me down. There was a moment of silence among the three of us, and then a sudden burst of laughter escaped our throats
I swear I never laughed so hard these few days, my whole life since I awoke that day. We gave each other a high-five and walked into the library.
Right after that we went to the arcade, for Emmett's sake. He won two huge teddy bears, one for me and one for Ness. If we did not stop him, I think he would have the made the company go bankrupt.
While I was having fun competing against the guys in "Car Racing", my stomach made noises, asking to be fed.
Emmett looked at his watch, "Oh no, its 8 already!"
"Chill Em. Olivia is hungry so why not we take her for dinner before bringing her home?" Jasper touched his back, sending waves of calmness again.
We went to this restaurant, and they ordered 3 sodas, a hamburger and fries. It was really noisy, thanks to some people who drank beer and talked so loudly, I wonder when they would get deaf. It was then I knew the noises made it a friendly environment, suitable for families. I really loved the restaurant, and on our way back, I even told Jasper, "Make me happy by bringing me back to that restaurant."
It was all round a happy day for me I guessed. When they were running back home, I was too tired to think of Alice's reaction and slept on Jasper, with my head lying on his broad, comfortable shoulders.
But then, the happiness didn't last long. I had nightmares again.
