Chapter 10
First, we deiced to go visit my parents. We walked down the hall to their room and I knocked on the door. Then we just barged in without waiting for an answer. Thank goodness my parents were just lying down while my mom read Wuthering Heights for the umpteen billionth time, while my dad quietly admired her. They both looked up as LouLou and I walked into the room and Edward spoke to me in a teasing tone.
"You know Beth, you could have knocked."
"Ugh! I did knock, dad but you were obviously too caught up with staring at mom to hear it."
"I was not staring at your mother."
"Dad don't even try to deny it. You know damn good and well not to lie to me."
"Well you could have waited for an answer before you came in." My loving father retaliated
"But I never wait for an answer!" I said as if it was totally obvious
"Well, maybe you should start. You never know what we could be doing in here."
"EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!! Nasty Thoughts!!" I whined.
"Alright, Alright, That's enough from the both of you." My mother said in a stern voice breaking up the argument. ""You two fight like an old married couple"
"Well, he is an old man!" I said
"I am not OLD!!" my father nearly screamed.
"Oh so your saying that being 120 something is not old!" I said with a smile. I knew I had won this fight.
"Well…well… Grr!"
"Ha, Ha, Ha! In your face dad. You don't even have a decent comeback!"
"What do you want Beth?" Edward replied in extremely irritated tone
"Nothing, if you're going to have that kind of attitude!"
"ELIZABETH ANNE MASEN CULLEN!!"
"What!"
"You're grounded!"
"But, but, Daddy, Why?" I then put on the saddest, most heartbreaking, expression.
"Ugh! Beth! Why can't I ever stay mad at you, like I mean to."
"Because you're a big softie and you love me and you absolutely hate to see me sad!"
"And like you don't use that!"
"No comment"
"Anyway, Beth, dear, what is it that you wanted?" my mother asked me sweetly.
I glanced at LouLou who had been silent through out the whole ordeal. She was shaking with laughter. Then I said "I want to introduce you two to LouLou and I wanted to tell you some wonderful news about Jace!"
"Hello LouLou, I'm Bella. It's so wonderful to meet you. Beth has been so excited and impatient ever since she heard another person was coming to stay with us. After you learn to have control over your thirst will you be going back to Alaska to live with the Denali?"
"Um, well that was the original plan but I'm not to sure about that anymore." LouLou said in her French accent.
"Why is that?" Edward asked suddenly intrigued. LouLou was mental begging me to explain to Edward because she knew that she could not force out a coherent word while talking to Edward.
"Well, Dad, as you may very well know, Jason just recently became a werewolf. This does not come as a shock to us seeing as our entire family has been bugging him about it for about a month. Also for the past month the entire family has been teasing me. You all have been saying that the moment Jason sees me after he first phases that he would imprint on me. Well he just come up to my room to tell me that he had, in fact, phased, however before he could tell me the good new he imprinted."
"See, Beth I to-"
"Ah, ah, ah; Dad let me finish. Jace imprinted, but not on me. He imprinted on LouLou! So ha, ha in your face Jason did not imprint on me!! Isn't this wonderful?"
"Thank God!! I thought I was going to have to put up with that pup for the rest of eternity!" my father said somewhat relieved.
"Congratulations LouLou, You have found your perfect match!" Bella told LouLou.
"Thanks Bella, but I haven't even spoken to him yet." Lou told Bella with a hint of regret.
"Oh but you will. In fact, after we're done here, we are going down to La Push." I chimed in.
"But Beth, I don't want too!" LouLou lied quickly.
"Oh! You know you want to see Jason." I said in a teasing tone.
"Okay fine!" LouLou groaned in defeat, even though she really wanted to go.
"Well, Mom, Dad, We're going to say hi to everyone else! Bye!" I said cheerily.
"Bye, Beth! Nice to meet you LouLou." My parents replied in unison and with that we left the room.
We decided to go visit Carlisle, next. We ran down stairs to the second floor and knock on Carlisle's door actually waited for an answer, because Carlisle, unlike Edward, answers quickly.
"Come in." I heard Carlisle call from within. LouLou and I walked in the office. I walked over to the leather chaise in the corner and laid down. LouLou gave me a crazy look and took a seat in a chair in front of Carlisle desk. Carlisle had his back facing us, placing a book back on one of the massive bookshelves. Carlisle office was better stocked than a library just like Edward's room was better stocked than a CD store.
Carlisle finally turned around and saw me lying on the chaise and asked me, "What's wrong, Beth?"
"Nothing, Carlizzie-lizle. I'm just tried from my the argument I just had with my loving father."
"You two got in another fight? That's the second one today."
"Well Carlizle, Edward and I get into at least three fights a day."
"I know." Then he turned to LouLou and started up a conversation with her. He asked her the general questions, such as, her power, her story and things along that line. LouLou told Carlisle the same things she had told me. She gave no more detail about anything.
Then he asked her, " I noticed that your eyes were golden instead of red, LouLou. Did Tanya happen to take you hunting before you came here?"
"Yes, she did. But animal blood tasted a little odd. I guess that's because I am used to drinking human blood."
"Yes, for you it will taste funny the first couple times you hunt animals. However, eventually the taste will become very appealing to you."
"Carlisle, if I may be so bold, what is you preference." LouLou asked Carlisle in a very French like way.
"Elk, however my sons, particularly Emmett and Jasper like to tease me about it, they insist that elk does not have much flavor."
"Like Jasper should talk. His favorite is fox. Fox has about as much flavor as a piece of cardboard!" I interjected. Carlisle started to laugh and LouLou giggled slightly. Then LouLou asked me-
"Beth, what is your preference?"
"Mountain lion, like my father before me, although, I wouldn't say no to a irritable grizzly."
"You and Emmett with the irritable grizzlies." Carlisle laughed.
"Um, Carlisle," LouLou asked. "why do you have a shrink couch in your office? You're not a therapist. Are you?"
"Oh, no I am not , however Beth seems to think I am. She brought me that couch for Christmas." Carlisle replied with a smile.
Then LouLou asked, "Beth why do you need a shrink?"
"You don't know what it's like being the only one of your species, ever. I am truly one of a kind. And it doesn't help that Emmett and Jasper pick on me for not having a very small bloodlust. I have never lusted for human blood! My life can be depressing sometimes." I finished dramatically.
"Beth, you are sop dramatic. No really LouLou, I am the only one in our family that will listen to her problems and not A.) try to butt into her ranting with saying that she shouldn't worry about the things that Beth does worry about like Edward, Bella, Alice, and Rosalie or B.)make fun of her like Emmett and Jasper would."
"Wow, Beth, that's interesting." LouLou replied sarcastically.
"I know! Well lets go see Emmett and Rosalie. Bye Carlisle. I'll come and tell you when Edward and I get into another fight."
"Now Beth, Don't think I didn't notice that you said 'when' instead of 'if'. Please don't go pick a fight with him!"
"Aye, aye Captain Carlisle! Bye now." I replied grudgingly and walked out of the door with LouLou close behind me and walked to Emmett and Rosalie's room.
We talked to Emmett and Rosalie for a while. LouLou got a kick out of Emmett, but who doesn't get a kick put of Emmett. After Emmett and Rosalie, LouLou and I went outside to Esme, who was working in her garden. After we talked and help Esme in her garden, we went back inside to see Jasper and Alice.
Alice was just as excited as I was about LouLou's arrival. Before I could even raise my hand to knock on the door, Alice opened the door and wrapped LouLou in the biggest hug that little Alice could manage. Damn Alice and her visions. Alice then pulled us both into her room. Jasper was sitting on their couch playing the guitar. My acoustic Epiphone, that I didn't play anymore ever since I got my Gibson Les Paul for Christmas two years ago. Jasper then took the Epiphone form me after I abandoned it. He was the one who taught me how to play guitar in the first place five years ago.
Anyway, while Alice was talking animatedly to LouLou, I went to sit next to Jasper on the couch. Once I sat jasper passed me the guitar and I asked him why he was giving the guitar to me and he said, "Because you play a hell of a lot better than I do and you know that you want to play. I felt your longing ever since you saw me playing."
"How many times do I have to tell you I am not better than you. You taught me how to play. How can the student be better than the teacher?"
"Yes, you do play better than me. Now quite stalling and play like you want to!" Jasper replied
"Okay, okay, okay, calm down Jazz." And then I started to play Easier by Meriwether I also started to sing along with the tune.
Once I started playing, LouLou and Alice fell silent and then LouLou exclaimed, "Beth, I didn't know you played the guitar."
"Yeah, Jasper taught me when I was ten."
"Yeah, and ever since that day we have never had another day without hearing that guitar." Alice joked. Then Alice and LouLou went back to talking and I went back to playing and talking to Jasper.
Suddenly, a blank look crossed Alice's face. It was her "vision face" as I like to call it. LouLou started to freak out, but Jasper quickly calmed her and explained what was going on. I was too preoccupied with trying to see Alice's vision, and the vision was odd to say the least.
"LouLou jumping out of Beth's window tonight into the arms of Jason." Then Alice snapped out of it.
I was confused. "Alice, how did you just see Jason. He's a werewolf now and you can't see the wolves."
"I know I can't. But Beth I just did. Maybe I can see Jace because I am so attuned to him. I mean I have been seeing his future ever since you two became friends fifteen years ago. I don't know why I can see him but…" then she began to speak to me in her mind "we have to get LouLou fixed up because this is happening tonight. We can't let her know. We have to keep this a surprise! Okay!"
"Okay Alice." I said aloud.
LouLou was confused. She had no idea what was going on. "Um, Alice, did you just have a vision about Jason. What happened? Is he alright?"
"Oh quit worrying LouLou. Jason is alright. Alice just saw him coming over here tomorrow, that's all.'
"oh he is! I can't wait!" LouLou exclaimed. Alice and I started to laugh.
"What is so funny, you two?" LouLou demanded. Her French nobility was defiantly noticeable.
"Oh, nothing!" Alice and I answered in unison.
"okay well I guess I'm going to let it . Beth, lets go to La Push!" LouLou said
Alice was screaming at me in her head. "BETH!! NO! DON'T GO TO LA PUSH, OR JASON WON'T COME OVER TONIGHT, LIKE IN THE VISION!"
"Um LouLou, let's not go to La Push today. I mean, Jason is probably out running with the rest of the pack, besides he is coming over tomorrow and Lillie is about to come over in a bit."
"Okay, fine then!' LouLou groaned in defeat for the second time today.
We left Alice and Jasper and went to go set up for the sleepover. LouLou still had no idea about the fact that Jason was going to come over later tonight and I wasn't about to tell her.
At 8:00 PM sharp, Lillie arrived. LouLou and Lillie just clicked. It was great.
At around 1 o'clock in the morning we heard a tapping on my window. It was the moment Alice and I have been waiting for all night.
Alice had given us all make-over earlier that night. LouLou's hair into a half-ponytail, making her natural ringlet curls fall over her shoulders. We forced her into a strapless black dress that came up to her knees and a pair of black patent leather peep toe pumps. LouLou was kind of confused as to why we were dressing her up while Alice was just braiding Lillie and my hair while we were only pajamas and not dressed up, but she went along with it anyway.
So the time had finally come. Jason was finally here. We heard another tap on my window.
"What is that?" LouLou asked
"It sounds like tapping,. Beth, I think someone's tapping on the window." Lillie said very convincingly. She was in on the plan.
"Well, let's see!" I replied, jumping up. We ran to the window and I threw it open. Suddenly a rock flew in my room and it hit LouLou in the forehead. We looked down and saw Jason standing there looking apologetic.
Then he called up, "Sorry, LouLou! I didn't mean to hit you!"
"It's okay Jason! It didn't hurt." LouLou replied.
"LouLou, come with me, please?" Jason asked LouLou.
She turned to me and asked, "Beth, do you mind?"
'Not at all, what do you think Alice saw this afternoon, and why do you think we dressed you up?"
"Okay, thank, Beth. Bye, Beth. Bye Lillie." And with that she jumped out of the window and right into Jason's waiting arms. They were made for each other and I was extremely happy for the both of them. I only wondered when I would find the person that would love me as much as Jason loved LouLou and vice-versa.
