By the way... if your an Edward fan... I DONT' apologize MWWAAAHHHAAAAAHHHAAAAA!
A good start to a bad week (day 2)
Yesterday was basically spent making deals with the Cullen's all day. So, basically painful for me and Jake. Seth was cutting up and joking with the leeches all day while me and Jake were cursing our predicament. At least he had Nessie. I had to stand in the corner holding my breath while Seth conversed and shared stories. Seriously sucky day. To top it off we still aren't at an agreement. Not even half the Cullen's are willing to fight, the other's don't want anything to do with "a bunch of mangy mutts" or they are in South Africa on another honey moon.
So this is what we have so far: Edward doesn't want Bella fighting, she won't let him fight if she can't, Rosalie thinks we're a waste of time, Emmett is jumping out of his skin wanting to fight, Dr. Carlisle is "for the better" (I don't know what that means exactly), Jasper and Alice are on a honey moon, Esma doesn't really want to have any violence, and then Nessie, well she's for anything that comes out of Jake's mouth. So we have two missing, two for fighting, one unknown, and four not fighting. Great.
That makes six to fourteen. We are so screwed.
"What confuses me is how could there possibly be a colt of fourteen in the area." Dr. Carlisle thought aloud.
"What confuses me is why the hell we're even here if only two of y'all are helping us." I groan. "I mean, it's your guy's land too. Why not help? We don't get a good fight very often."
"Where the hell where you when Victoria was here?!" Rosalie screeches at me.
"What? You seriously think you killed all those newborns on your own? A bunch of inexperienced fighters? I was there. I did help." I tell her with a smug grin.
Rose jerks her head toward Edward in expectation. "She's not lying." Edward says. "She took down five."
"I would appreciate it if you would say out of my head you dirty leech." I growl.
"Don't speak to him like that!" Bella yells at me.
"Wow, you really are like a miniature Jacob." Edward muses.
"What do you mean, leech." I ask.
"First off you call us "leeches", second you can't stand me being in your head-"
"Why should I?!"
"And thirdly, you are too stubborn for your own good." Edward finishes.
I start to shake but calm myself at the last possible second. "If I were you Edward, I would watch your mouth, and keep out of my head." I growl.
He smirks at my anger. "I don't know what Seth sees in you." He mumbles under his breath.
I clench my jaw, "I don't see what she," I jerk my head at Bella," Could possibly see in a filthy monster like you. No wonder she fell in love with Jake after you left-"
"Shut. Up." He says through clenched teeth.
"What? Still not gotten over what you put her through?" I ask as I show him the images I'd seen in Jake's head. He flinches from my thoughts. "Say out of my head." I warn him.
"He deserves better then an ungrateful mutt like you." Edward shoots back.
"Watch it." I warn him.
"At least I didn't have sex with some stranger and make him pick up what was left of me." He gives a smug grin.
"Wanna shut the hell up?" I ask in a shaky voice. My whole body is beginning to shake now. "I didn't tell him I didn't love him then leave him in the woods to die." His eyes light on fire. "I didn't try to kill myself 'cause I was a melodramatic little girl who was too weak to deal with pain." I keep pushing him. He flashes his fangs and I let my claws unsheathe. "Don't dish what you can't take." I tell him.
"You don't think I can take this?" He ask, his fangs still insight.
"You want to take this outside, leech?" I ask him.
"I'd love to." He spits.
"EDWARD!" Bella yells.
"Your owner's calling you." I whisper.
Edward growls at me one last time before retracting his fangs and moving back over to his slut of a wife. Edward eyes shoot back to mine. "Stay out of my head." I tell him again.
"What'd she say?" I her Bella worry.
"I called you a slut." I tell her. Suddenly all the vampire's eyes are on me. "What?" I ask them in a stern tone. A low rumble comes from my throat and they go back to what they had been doing. I guess they forgot I wasn't just some human easily dealt with by scowls.
I turn to Seth, "Can we go now? It's apparent they aren't going to be much help."
"Uh, ya. If you wanna go wait in the car I'll be out in a minute…" He pleads with his eyes for me to corporate. Fine, I think. I take the keys as he pulls them out of his back pocket and I walk outside, but I stop outside the door.
"Edward, please. We need your help. I'm asking you as a friend."
"I'm not working with her." He replies coldly.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Seth ask defensively.
"It means that girl of your's is a spoiled brat and I'm not having anything to do with her."
"You know nothing about her!" Seth yells.
"You can't just judge people by their thoughts, Edward." Jake backs Seth up.
"She's rude, obnoxious, and violent. I'm not helping her."
"She has a right to be!" Seth counters. "You don't know her." Seth says more quietly. "I love her, Edward. Nothing you can say will change that."
"I'm not sure you really know her Seth." Edward said without emotion.
"What do you mean? We've been best friends since pre-k. What is there that I don't already know?" Seth demanded.
"Sure. You know everything she's told you. But you haven't seen the inside of her head, Seth. That is one messed up place." Edward still speaks without emotion.
"She doesn't need to be fixed, Edward. I love her, I know her. You don't. You can't just read a couple thoughts in her head and except to know everything. She isn't like most people. She's more complex then you know." Seth says sternly.
"I agree with Seth, she's not like anyone else I know." Jake sides with Seth.
"Well I didn't appreciate her talking to Edward the way she did." Bella speaks up for Edward.
"Of coarse you don't. For once someone put him in his place- And didn't you hear the things he said to her?" Jake argues.
"No… what'd he say?" Bella says in a small voice.
"Nothing." Edward says sharply. Douche.
"So are you going to help us or not, Edward?" Seth ask.
Everyone is silent for a moment. I take this as my cue to leave. I walk to the car with raging emotions and sit quietly. Today's going to be a long day, I think to myself. After a few minutes I put the keys in and start the car. It's mid April and hot as fire. The radio comes on in a whisper and I relax as the voices of Cash Cash fill my head instead of the cold voice of the mind reader.
"They said they'll consider our offer." Seth says through the open window.
He looks so tired. So stressed out. I feel awful for him. "I'm sorry Seth. I didn't mean to make things bad it's just- the things he said- I couldn't- he made me so- mad." I ramble.
"What exactly did he say?" A fire lights behind Seth's eyes.
"Nothing. Forget it." I turn toward the other window.
Seth opens the driver side door and jumps in. "What did he say, Kait?" Seth pleads.
"Nothing, he just couldn't understand what you could see in me." I shook it off like it was nothing even though his words had hurt. It only confirmed what I've been thinking all along.
"Lots of things." Seth puts his hand on mine. "First off, you're my best friend. Have been since I can remember. Secondly, you do something that makes it impossible not to be happy around you." He smiles, "Thirdly, you're the beastliest person at ninja that I know." I laugh softly. "Fourthly, you know how to think for yourself." He pauses, "How many more do you need? I can go all day."
"Really?" I ask him.
"Yes, really. It'd make no sense not to be with you." He pulls his hand away and wipes away a tear I hadn't even notice sliding down my cheek. "And 'sides, you're cute when you're angry. You should yell at Edward more often." He jokes.
"Thanks Seth, you always know just what to say."
"Everything you want." He jokes. 'Everything you want' is a song we used to listen to by Vertical Horizon.
"I haven't listened to them in forever." I tell him switching topics.
"I have one of their CDs in the console if you want to." He nods toward the console.
"Which one?"
"'Everything You Want' should be in the CD case in there."
"I could live in your car, you know. You have just about everything in here." I joke.
"I wouldn't mind you living with me either." He says only slightly joking.
I put the CD in and flip to 'Everything You Want' then turn to Seth. "I don't know. Like I said, it's my home. I have to go back someday."
"We could get in apartment." Seth suggest.
"Seth… commitment problems, remember?"
All is quite for a minute except for the soft rumble of the car and the words of 'Everything You Want'.
"He's everything you want. He's everything you need. He's everything in side of you that you wish you could be. He says all the right things at all the right times, but he means nothing to you and you don't know why."
"I mean something to you, right?"
"Seth, of coarse. I think you're the only thing that I even care about anymore. You mean everything to me." I confess.
"So… you'll say?"
"I suppose so. At least for little longer."
Seth smiles, "Now we just have to deal with those-"
"Leeches. Those leeches." I tell him and we drive into the night.
