Song: And Tonic ER-Meriwether

Chapter 14

The weekend progressed. Jason and LouLou came over and met Chace. Carlisle enrolled Chace into the sophomore class at Forks High and ironically enough, he was in all my classes. The story was that Chace was Esme's best friend's son. His parents moved to Italy and Chace decided to come and live with Esme who was like an aunt to him. Weird, I know.

On his first day, all the girls thought were envious. They all wanted this sexy, emo, rocker guy. Plus he was new, a novelty in this town. But the worst person of all the students was Ashley St. Martins.

Ashley St, martins had been my enemy since my first day at Forks High. She didn't know mw or my family yet she felt the need to talk about us on our first day. When I say us I mean the girls, not the boys, she was too busy hitting on them. I really didn't care about the fact that she was talking about me but she had the nerve to start talking about Bella and that's when I lost it.

"Ashley or what ever your name is you don't even know me or my family, so I don't think you have any right to talk about us, especially not Bella. Bella is one of the sweetest people on this earth and the best sister ever. You can talk about me all you want but if I ever hear you talking about my family again it will feel like you are living in hell." I told her in a very cold and menacing voice.

She only replied with the classic "Is that so?"

"Yes, it is. Don't mess with me, okay!" and after I said that I just walked away. She was speechless, but her thoughts were cursing me to the deepest pits of hell, oh well!

Ever since that day, Ashley and I have been enemies and when I stood up her it was apparently the first time in Forks High history and it was supposedly the reason I was elected as sophomore class president.

Anyway Ashley keep making passes at Chace al day, however, Chace showed no interest in her or any of the other girls for that matter. Ashley came walking up to the Cullen table. (yes we had our own table!) and decided to taunt me right in front of Chace.

"So Beth, I see that you are getting acquainted with the new guy?" Ashley said condescendingly.

"Ashley, the 'new guy' has a name and it's Chace. So refer to him as such!" I replied irritated.

"Hello Chace, I'm Ashley St. Martins and I am head of the Forks high welcoming committee, welcome to our school." What was she talking about! Forks High didn't have a welcoming committee!

"Ashley, we don't have a welcoming committee! Even if we did, I don't think you would be the head of it anyway!" I told her getting more irritated by the second.

It was weird. I felt this twinge in the pit of my stomach every time someone flirted with Chace, but why? Was I jealous? Did I like him as more than a family member? No, of course I didn't. At least that is what I tried to convince myself.



In the weeks to come I caught myself daydreaming about Chace. I didn't want to admit to myself that I had fallen for him, but my mind was finding ways to inform me of that very fact. I had blocked Chace's thoughts out of common courtesy, so I didn't know if he felt the same way. Alice had been acting weird ever since Chace arrived, but she kept her thoughts in check and wouldn't reveal anything to me.

Caleb returned to school about a week after Chace's arrival and attempted to get me back, but I didn't want anything to do with him. I wasn't worried that he would spread my secret, he never knew. I didn't trust him enough yet to trust him with it. Caleb tried to become friends with Chace but Chace wanted nothing to do with him either.

I also started to notice that I would allow myself to stare at him in class when I thought he wasn't looking. On the off chance that he did catch my eye I would blush and quickly look away.

Edward would have to tell me to focus in math class, the only class I had with my father (thank god!! Two words: Mind Fights!), when my mind would wander inevitably to Chace. Edward knew that his daughter had fallen for the mysterious guy before I even realized it myself.

Around the house, Chace and I would hang out constantly. We would talk about music and movies. I t turned out that we were both huge Tim Burton fans! We were also huge music geeks.

One day about three weeks after his arrival, Chace came into the living room while I was playing the piano. He walked up to me and said "Not only do you play guitar, but you're a pianist as well?"

"Yeah, my dad taught me when I was five. I would always sit on his lap and listen to him play and on day he asked me if I wanted to learn and I said yes."

"That is so cool. By the way, It sounds good. That song you were playing, what is it?"

"And Tonic ER by Meriwether. They are such as good band."

"Yeah they are!" and that is how our conversations went most of the time.

We would always find ways to run into each other. One time I almost fell down the stairs, which was no very uncommon, I had already phased so I wouldn't break any bones. However, I felt a pair of stone arms wrap around me. I glance up and looked into the face of my savior, Chace. We gazed into each other's eyes, his gold eye piercing my blood red eyes. The moment was so intense. I felt so much emotion in that moment than I ever have before. That was the day I realized that I had found the person I has been waiting for, and that person was Chace Patrick Finnegan.

I know it's short, but the next chapter will be longer, I promise. Please, Please review.
