As we were driving along, rocking out to Lacuna Coil, I noticed a change in Jeffrey's emotions. I felt giant waves of confusion hit me full force, but I knew he probably wouldn't appreciate it if I dug into his emotions, so I turned my empathy and mind reading powers off for the time being.
In the car behind us, I could see Edward glaring at Jeffrey. Wow, that's mature, dude. Just then, the song switched and I laughed out loud and rolled down the convertible top. I stood up in the front seat, joined by Jeffrey and Tyler, while Jade was rocking out in the driver's seat.
What
you get is what you see
It won't take much to get hooked on me
So shoot me right into your skin
And I will be your heroin
I belted out my lyrics with jade backing me up next to me. My hair blew behind me as we drove up the mountainside.
The side effects
are sexual
Are you down for a taste
The side effects are
sexual
You know the way I say
I'm your favorite drug
Your favorite drug
Just one hit is never enough
I'm
your favorite drug
Your favorite drug
You can't break this
addiction no.
Your favorite drug....
I was having a lot of fun, especially when the Cullen's pulled up next to us and I saw Edward staring at me in horror. Rosalie was laughing in the back seat. I grinned at her.
The music shut off when we pulled onto the grass of our baseball field. I hopped over the edge of the car, ignoring the door. Jeffrey joined me, while Tyler waited for Jade.
I noticed Rosalie looking at me in a peculiar way, and I raised my eyebrows at her. She mouthed tell you later at me, and I nodded.
The Cullens formed at half circle around me. Jade and Tyler stood next to me on my right, while Jeffrey joined me on my left. I took a deep breath.
"What would you like to see first?" I asked relaxing my muscles and balancing my center of emotion. (A/N Sorry if you guys don't understand that. It's something that dancers, singers, gymnasts, ice skaters, and a whole lot of athletes do. We all describe it differently.)
"Could you describe your power?" Carlisle asked, looking nervous and excited at the same time. I nodded in his direction, and began the difficult process of describing something that it had taken me almost a year to understand, and I was sure that there were still aspects that I had no clue about.
The whole Cullen family looked at me in shock as I spoke, and if I wasn't as mentally exhausted with this situation as I was, I would have found it extremely funny. Tyler and Jeffrey seemed to.
"Could you give us a demonstration?" Jasper asked, more curious than I had ever seen him in something other than Civil War memorabilia.
Taking a deep breath I back up, away from the circle. "Have you guys seen X-Men United?" They all nodded warily, still confused as to what I was talking about.
"Okay, well remember Storm? Her power was to control the weather." They all nodded again, and I smiled.
I raised my hands, my feet lifting off the ground, ignoring the gasps from before me. Concentrating, I pulled the electricity and moisture from the air, centering it above our heads, I gently opened my eyes, grinning at Emmett's shout of "COOL!" the weather spun together, and I whipped the moisture into a cloud form. I halted the moisture from coming down, instead pushing the lightening to charge between the top and bottom of the cloud. In minutes, we had a rainless thunderstorm where the lightening was only inside the cloud, making it less dangerous than other lightening storms.
I released the power, bringing my arms back to my side. In the back of my mind, I commanded the storm to stay put.
Carlisle was the first to recover from his shock. He quickly returned to scientist mode, asking lots of questions. Once I described what I had done, he appeared thoughtful and stopped talking to ponder what I had told him. I left him to his thoughts.
"Would you guys like to see anything else?" everyone shook their heads, except Emmett, who stood there grinning and rubbing his hands together. He stopped smiling, however, when Rosalie wacked him on the back of the head.
"Ow! Rosie, what was that for?" he whined, sounding like a five year old.
She rolled her eyes. "Izzy isn't a circus performer for your amusement, Emmett." She shook her head, grinning at me as i smiled at her.
My phone began vibrating in my pocket, and I laughed at the ringtone, which Payton had picked out himself. I saw Rose and Jade raise their eyebrows at me, and I shook my head at them.
Baby you know
that I miss you
I wanna get with you
Tonight but I can't
now
Baby girl and that's the issue
Girl you know I miss you
I
just wanna kiss you
But I can't right now so baby
Kiss me
through the phone
"I pulled my phone out of my pocket and flipped it open. "What up, Payton?" I giggled, and Jade immediate laughed. She walked over to Rosalie and whispered in her ear, probably explaining.
"I'm good, girly, and how are you? Oh, my god, I loved your dress tonight. I mean it was just smoking! Mind if I borrow it?" I rolled my eyes.
"Depends where you are going to use it. Whose going to see, it Westen? Or the rest of the world?" Weston was Payton's current partner, and they had been together for a little over a month.
Rosalie giggled, and I winked at her before returning to my conversation.
"Any way, dear, I called to let you know the greatest news. You know how I was going to try and call that guy (who I must admit is even sexier than his voice, if it's possible) and guess what? We got the deal!"
I stood stock still for about ten seconds, as Jade grabbed the phone and talked to Payton. Dimly I could hear him ask if she and Tyler were still together, and asking about the news since he had last seen them.
"Izzy? Helloo, anybody in there?" I blinked to see Jeffrey and Tyler standing in front of me looking amused. I shook my head, a giant smile breaking out across my face.
"Jeffrey!" I screamed, and he stared at me, amused. I realized he had never seen me this excited, since I usually hid my emotions more.
"Yes?" he asked warily, while Tyler laughed behind him.
"I got the deal!" I screeched, and suddenly, he laughed. He picked me up and spun me around, almost as happy as I was. He knew how much I had wanted this.
"Umm...I really don't want to interrupt, but could someone please tell a very confused Emmett what is going on?" I turned to see the Cullen family standing a few yards away staring at us in confusion. Edward was glaring at Jeff's hands on my waist, and I rolled my eyes internally.
Still really happy, I told Jeffrey to place me on the ground and back up. He did so quickly, not wanting to get in the way of anything I might do. I quickly did two front round offs before doing an in-place back flip. I landed in front of Emmett.
I leaned forward, giggling, and whispered, "I got a record deal." I then leaned back and grinned before doing another back flip. This day had turned out to be much better than I thought it would be.
