Chapter 5: Darkness in the middle of light.
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN TWILIGHT SO JUMP SUGAR MUNCHIKINS!
River's run dry in drought,
Yet in my drought why are the rivers full?
In flames ashes are produced,
In my fire why are there no burnt compassions?
They say in victory comes fullfilment,
In our victory where are you?
They say in love comes sacrifice,
The only thing they were right about.
Chloe's ballad.
It's been two days and Alec still hasn't sent a letter, it's unnerving to say the least. I did in fact apologise to Jazz about my exploding, he took it well saying he was sorry too. But Alec always sends letters, even if I forget to reply. The thing is most people would say he's probably just busy, but I know Alec. He always makes time for his own personal affairs and Aro never runs him or Jane around on day to day errands. Something is just very wrong, very wrong. Carlisle seems to be the only one to agree with my, everyone else just thinks he has missions. Rosalie even suggested he forgot! Alec never forgets, which is actually quite remarkable. When he was here he would usually remember stuff for me, like that I needed to prepare Nessie's dinner or that I forgot to tidy my room like Esme told me too. Yes he's a weirdo, but he's my weirdo...
"Miss Cullen care to explain why the battle of Hastings was started?" Mr Wall said, snapping me out of my thoughts. I smiled, oh puhlease!
" On Edward the Confessors death bed he promised the throne to William Duke of normandy, but when Harold Godwinson earl of Wessex took the throne he got angry. They had a battle in 1066 called the battle of Hasting so rightly named for the place it was in." I said confidently. He grunted and nodded, turning back to his chalkboard. Oh teachers they think they can outsmart us. Nessie smirked at me, causing me to wink at her. She giggled and carried on taking notes as did I. I carried on throughout class just thinking about Alec, seriously I wish he just didn't clog up brain as much as he did.
The final bell rang and everyone flooded out the classroom in hoards. Jenna, Nessie and I stayed behind as usual to chat.
"So hey we're having a small get together at my place, really A list. You guys thinking about coming." Jenna said. I grinned, just the thing to get my mind off things.
"I'm in." I said. Nessie was practically bouncing on the spot.
"HELL YA!" She yelled, stratling Mr Wall into faceplanting the board. We rushed out the room, bursting into laughter as soon as we were out. When we finally calmed down Nessie and I bid farewell to Jenna who had detention. We headed out to our car, when we were only five feet away we were rudely disturbed. Gina and her gang stepped into our path, handbags at the ready.
"Well if isn't Chloe and Renesmee, you know you got a lot of guts." Gina sneered.
"I should hope so, I kinda need them. Don't you pay attention in science class, oh wait sorry! That would require you to have a brain..." I dissed coldly. She stood shocked, either that or she was trying to figure out what I was trying to say. I rolled my eyes and tried to make my way to our car, only to be caught by Gina's arm.
"Did I say you could leave?" She growled. I laughed in her face, pushing her back gently.
"Go get some man hooker." I sneered coldly. She huffed and stomped.
"At least I could have man, what about you Cullen?" She challenged. I smirked.
"I have a boyfriend sweetie..." I said smugly. She smirked this time.
"Oh yeah, how come we never see him around?" She challenged. My smirk faltered slightly and my chest panged with pain.
"He just doesn't live here, yet." I said, looking to the ground. That's when Nessie lost it.
"YOU KNOW WHAT GINA? GET A LIFE WHORE!" Nessie yelled. I laughed as she shooed them away and dragged me to the car. We drove off home and Nessie seemed smug at herself and i must say I'm pretty proud. " Hey you ok? You really miss him don't you?" I smiled sadly and nodded. I felt like really saying 'Noooooo I miss peanuts!' but I thought better of it. " What I never got was why he didn't ask you to join the Volturi. I don't want to get rid of you or anything but seriously it only makes sense."
"I never thought of that... I don't know why I didn't ask to either." I said, realising she was on to something. Nessie mused on, seemingly not focusing on the road.
"It's the safest place in our world and the best place for him for you to be. I mean many people hold a grudge against Alec, they would obviously want to aim at his mate." Wow Nessie is making a lot of sense today.
"Strange..." I whispered.
Strange... just another word to describe my life.
