"I mean it Carlisle! What the heck is she doing here?" Edward raged and I cringed back into Jaspers arms. "She is not part of this family!" He screamed his finger pointed straight at me.
"Edward calm down, please. I have given Bella the choice mostly because we already have close ties with the Volturi and don't need this getting out, and also because…I think Jasper has-" Jasper cut Carlisle off with a blinding smile and turned his smile back to his siblings.
"Because I've finally found my life mate." He said, and I think Edward swore, Emmett said "Seriously?!" I'm not sure what Rosalie did, I'm guessing nothing, and the only reason that I'm not sure of what happened is because Alice was freaking out!
She screeched and threw herself onto the both of us giving us both hugs.
"Ak! Alice let me go!" Jasper boomed, and then a huge weight crashed into me.
"Alice! Watch it! She's still a freaking human! Don't kill her!" I heard him yelling but almost everyone else was laughing, almost everyone. I heard her enchanting laugh again and I was pulled to my feet and folded into the arms of someone else, in a huge bear hug.
"Emmett! Same goes for you! No killing the woman I love!" Jasper yelled, I felt Emmett's chest rumble with laughter as he put me back down. "Well, hey there little sister." He said and smiled at me.
"Um…Hi." I said nervously.
"See Emmett you and your huge self are going to scare her away." Jasper said and I immediately felt him pull me into his arms.
"No. I don't agree. She can't be part of our family. No. Never." Edward said shaking his head.
"I agree with Edward, she shouldn't be turned." Rosalie said, shocker there.
"Well seeing as there's 8 people here who's votes matter, and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…and 6 including myself have all vote yes, and 2 have voted no, it seems that you two lose." Carlisle said.
Edward let out a roar of fury and stormed upstairs.
Alice turned to me and bit her lip. "I better go check on him. He gets like this sometimes. I'm really happy to have another sister Bella, believe me." She said hugging me again then bolting up the stairs.
"Well…let's all discuss this without the emo one shall we?" Emmett said and Rosalie smacked him in the back of the head. I liked him, he was funny.
"Guys…I'd…love to stay and chat all night about this, but seeing how I need sleep, and my father is home, I should get back before he gets worried." I said
"Right, human need to sleep, right, almost forgot." Jasper said getting up.
"Where are you going?" I asked him as he joined me at the door.
"You didn't think I'd make you walk home did you?" He asked. "Never mind do not even answer that." He said shaking his head, just as Alice was bounding back down the stairs.
"Big dofus won't even talk to me." She said annoyed. The spotted me and Jasper at the door. "You're leaving Bella?" She asked amazed.
"Yeah, sorry, I have to cook my dad dinner and such." I said giving her a hug, for the first time with my consent. Esme appeared at her side, giving me a hug also.
"Come back tomorrow, dear." She said with a smile.
"I will." I promised, then Jasper scooped me up in his arms, and I couldn't help but blush.
"See you in a bit." He said over his shoulder to his mother.
She nodded and we took off through the forest.
He took us to the school where my new sweet red Mitsubishi Eclipse was sitting, and I smile in spite of myself. I couldn't wait to drive it.
So I'll see you at school tomorrow." I said as I slipped my keys into the drivers' side door unlocking it. I lingered there for a minute with my back to Jasper and the keys in the unlocked door.
I turned slowly to see Jasper staring at me intently. He closed to distance between us, and wrapped one of his arms around my back, and the other hand rest on my cheek. For a moment we just stared into each others eyes, his topaz meeting my brown.
I wasn't surprised when his lips came down to meet mine, it was a sweet kiss, light, it was a promise. A promise to love each other, a promise to be there for each other, and a promise that we'd never part.
"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that." He said.
"I love you." He whispered in my ear making me shiver, then he was gone.
Tomorrow came, whether I willed it to or not. I'd have to straighten things out with Chase when Music class came. From what I heard from Jasper and Alice both is that since spring break was coming up I'd have to plan a trip back home to Phoenix to stage my death.
Creepy, right?
But I would rather not die, and I really care for Jasper, and those feelings for him were increasing every time I saw him, we both could feel it.
Then it came.
Doom.
Music Class.
I walk into the room followed by Jasper who keeps his distance. His family has turned in withdrawal papers from this school. Mostly because if we left at the same time it would seem like they had something to do with my "death" oh, if they only knew. It was amazing how little this bothered me.
"Bella…we need to talk." Chase surprised me by saying when I reached him in the room.
"O…k." I said, and he took me by the hand and lead me into the sound room before class started.
"Bella, I really like you, I do. But with my mother in the hospital, it's not fair of me to have you stressed over this too. It's not fair to either of us, to be honest. I care for you, I always will but…I can't do this right now." He said looking at me hopefully.
"Stupid." I said rolling my eyes and pulling him into a hug. "I get it, Chase, and I respect that. I hope you know I'll always be here if you need me." Lie. "We can still be friends, no need for weirdness." I said with a smile. Part of me was sad to give him up, the other side surprised that this was coming no matter what.
"Of course. You're right, Bella. You're a great friend and I'd hate to loose you." He said.
At least we could still be friends. We both made our way back to the music room with smiles on our faces.
Jasper seemed to understand and gave me a smile. I peeked back at Edward who was in the far back behind Conner's drums leaning against the wall with a scowl on his face, his face flashed to mine and I swear I heard him growl. Wait a minute, he probably did.
I just shrugged and turned around.
"Bella Swan, if you are feeling any better you still have a song to sing for us today, any of your choice."
"You don't have to sing to one you wrote me, Bella. Just go up there and do your best I believe in you." Chase said and he squeezed my hand.
"Thanks." I said, because there was another song that I wanted to sing very badly. I made my way up to stage, prepared to sign the song that I had wrote last night. One that I had filled Jasper, Conner, Chase, and had Jasper fill Edward in on. I didn't want to sing alone anymore, I was ready for the band
I nodded to them and we all walked onto stage, except for Edward, there was no piano in this song, but I swore to get a song with some piano in it before we all "leave" The fact that I would be performing with the band seemed to surprise the teacher, and even more surprise the students.
Chase stared off the beat with the drums, and Conner, and Jasper joined in with the guitars. Then I started singing.
"Turn around there's those eyes again.
Turn around fake indifference and I.
Watch their cold, dark silhouettes disappear."
It seemed like every time I turned around something changes.
"A hundred bodies fill this room.
And all their faces overdone.
Pain is foreign, foreign to us. "
Looking at all these kids standing in here watching me sing not knowing what else lay out there, just oblivious, it made me think.
"I don't even know you.
You won't even know I'm gone.
Was it something I did wrong?"
Half of these people don't even know me, they don't know the real me, none of them, and after a while, after I'm gone, they won't care. What did I do to deserve their silence?
"Roses, roses cold.
Roses, roses sold out."
Roses symbolize love to me, love for many seemed to be so cold, and real love seems to be sold out and unattainable, at least I get the chance.
"Turn around reds and whites again.
I'd sell my kicks for one more low tar.
Fevers hand in hand with shoelace bracelets."
I had to include Angela in this, and our kicking shoelace bracelets we made together the other weekend, I saw her smile at me, and I knew she caught it.
"Why are some girls so naive?
He didn't unbutton your blouse to see.
A better view of your heart.
Oh yeah, can't blame you for trying. "
Jessica wasn't bad, this verse I had wrote for her, I liked Jess, no matter what you say, she just wanted to guy she liked to like her, and she let his take advantage of her, it pissed me off.
"I don't even know you.
You won't even know I'm gone.
Was it something I did wrong?
Roses, roses cold.
Roses, roses sold out.
Sing it soft.
Make it slow.
Apples parachute
the boys back down.
Fill it up.
Overflow.
A new, improved modern way to feel.
I don't even know you.
You won't even know I'm gone.
Was it something I did wrong?"
I was done finally. I smiled at everyone and took a bow and hopped from the stage.
"Very nice again today Bella, can't wait to hear tomorrow's." Mrs. Levinski said. For the rest of class I just listened to everyone else sing for the day. Knowing I'd go back to the Cullen's tonight to talk with them as I had promised.
First update in a while, I know, hope you liked it. I've been busy, there's some family and friend stuff going on right now so bear with me.
Love
Me.
