"No no. You can't put the streamers in front of the television. It will look tacky compared to everything else! Put them right above the door over there."
"Sir yes sir," I reply sarcastically to my pixie like sister. Alice always goes overboard with everything. I walk over to the doorway where Rosalie is standing. "She always goes overboard with parties," I said Rosalie.
Rosalie just snorts. "Wait until your wedding."
I almost freeze at the comment. Was I honestly going to marry Alex? I never it much thought about the concept of marriage. I pause before hanging the streamers up. "Please, if that ever happens, then I'm eloping."
"You most certainly will not!" Alice protests.
"Ugh, come on Alice. We don't even need to talk about this. Its not like I'm going to get married."
"Not yet, but I've seen it." Alice practically dances around the room in delight.
"So we do end up getting married," answers Alex cheekily as he suddenly appears beside me.
I try to give him the biggest glare possible. "Please, who said we were going to get married. I might actually marry someone else." I start to tease him and my comment seemed to work. I'm softly pushed against a wall as I look into his eyes.
I just watch him as he releases a growl. "The only person that you will marry is me. I will destroy any man that tries to come in between us." I smile up at him.
"Careful Alex. Your starting to sound possessive."
"What if I am? Your mine and no one else's." My heart skips a beat in delight.
"Calm down lover birds. Get back to work," Alice orders. I smirk up at Alex and kiss his cheek before pushing off of the wall and walking away from him.
I resume to helping Alice with the party decorations when Edward passes me. He goes to the window overlooking the front yard. He looks worried and scared almost. I pause and slowly make my way over to him. "Edward, what's wrong?"
Edward just sighs. "Bella graduated," he replies. From reading the books and watching the movies, I know where this is going.
"Edward, you knew this was going to happen."
"I didn't think it would come this quickly. I don't want this for her. I never wanted this for her. She wants to change sooner now."
"I understand that you don't want this for her, but you can't live without her. She's your soulmate. You almost died by leaving her behind. I'm not going to lose you. So you better get over this dilemma. It's going to happen." Edward just pauses and glances at me. I feel that there is something else lurking in his mind. "There's something else isn't there Edward."
"Victoria will be coming soon. From what you've told me, it'll be three or four days from now."
I pause in thought. "We don't know that for sure. Things have changed." Edward turns and looks at me with his golden eyes.
"How often has things changed? Are there significant changes or small changes?" My pause gives him his answer. "She'll be here soon, and that's an army that we aren't prepared for. I can't lose Bella and I can't lose you too. You are the best sister that I could ever have hoped for. I would do anything to protect you." I smile in response.
"Love you, wierdo."
"Love you too, time traveler." I laugh as Edward kisses my head. It's at that moment that headlights illuminate in the window. "Bella's here," he says instantly.
I nod. "Go, we are almost done here." He gives me one last smile before he heads out of the door. Sighing at his retreating figure; I numbly walk back to completing the final touches of Alice's masterpiece. I've been in my own bubble that the date of Victoria's untimely arrival was quickly approaching. I wasn't ready for this. I wasn't sure if I would survive after this. I know that my family will, but I shouldn't be here. I'm not supposed to exist. Will I die so that my presence will cease to exist?
"What's wrong?" I eye Jasper as he helps me hang up the final streamer.
"What do you mean," I reply nervously.
"Sophie, I can feel your emotions on the other side of the house. It's loud, almost like I can hear your thoughts. You're scared, worried, unsure. What's going on."
I step away and look at him. "Everything. Victoria is coming, and that's a bloodbath that will be coming to us. I'm not supposed to be here. What if everything goes horribly wrong. What if we don't survive this?"
"Do we survive in the books."
"Yes, but things have changed. What if this story has a different ending." Jasper calmly takes me aside, away from everyone.
"It won't. Calm down, we will be ok. You will be ok. Nothing is going to happen to you or to any of us." I'm instantly filled with a sense of calm and tranquility.
I just nod. "Ok."
Jasper gives me a small smile. "Come on. People will be arriving soon." I nod and let him lead me back over to Alice.
I see Alice talking with Bella and Edward. Bella is wearing jeans and a cute blouse. I'm jealous that she can wear comfortable clothing. Alice forced me into a black tank top with a red and black skirt. At least she let me wear black flats.
"I feel underdressed," Bella comments when she sees what me and Alice have on.
"You're perfect," disagrees Edward.
I have to agree with him. "I'm honestly jealous. General Alice forced me to wear this."
Alice just rolls her eyes. "You look fine." I look at the nightclub that Alice created in our living room. She really has outdone herself.
People soon started to arrive at the house. I wasn't really surprised by the small crowd that had arrived. No doubt everyone is coming to look inside the infamous Cullen household. The party is in full swing. Music blares throughout the house.
As the night went on, I started to enjoy the party. It was good to let loose a little. I made small talk with Jessica and Angela. It was nice to see everyone but I was soon searching for one person. There was one person that I desperately wanted to see.
I peer around a corner when hands suddenly cover my eyes. I smile at the familiar feel of ice cold hands. I remove his hands and turn around to look at him. I stare into his topaz eyes. "I was looking for you."
"Sorry, I had to talk to a certain pixie."
"Mmm. What was the conversation about."
"I told her that you needed to leave the party because there was an emergency that we had to attend to."
"And what kind of emergency would that be?"
Alex leans in and places his forehead against mine. "That you are in desperate need to get away and to spend some time alone with me." I smile a little.
"What's the result of this conversation?" Alex holds my face in his hands.
"She gave me a packed bag with your things and said to have a good time. Come on." I quickly give him a kiss and follow him towards my car that is parked outside. I don't bother to say goodbye to anyone. They know where I was going and who I was with.
I'm about to get into my car when someone calls my name. "Sophie!"
Standing behind me is none other than Paul Lahote. "Paul, what are you doing here?"
"You invited me, remember. Jacob got an invitation also."
"I thought Bella's right hook was a sign that he was uninvited," I respond dryly.
"Well, I'm here to make sure he doesn't cause any problems." He glances at me and Alex standing next to my car. "You guys are obviously going somewhere, so I won't keep you. Wanted to give you a graduation present."
What? This guy confuses me. "What? Paul.."
"Don't worry. It's not much. Here." He shoves something into my hands, and I look down to see a dreamcatcher.
I smile at it. "Paul, thank you. This is actually really perfect." I give him a quick hug before pulling away. "I'll see you later, Paul."
Paul gives Alex a hard stare. "Where are you taking her."
Alex stares angrily at Paul. "It's none of your business dog, but I'm taking her somewhere where we can be alone. Don't worry, she's not changing." Paul gives him a long stare before nodding.
"See you later, Sophie." He then turns around and heads into the house. Soon, disappearing from my sight.
"Come one. We better go before they come back out." I hop into the passenger side of the car and let Alex drive us to an unknown location.
"Where are we going?"
He gives me a sly smile. "Somewhere where we can be alone for the night. Thought the two of us could use some time alone."
"That sounds perfect." And it did. It all sounded really good. He refused to tell me where we were going. All I knew was that it was peaceful. We talked the whole time, just laughing and enjoying each others company. One hour soon turns into four hours. There weren't any landmarks to tell me where we are at. "Alex, where are we going?"
"Don't worry. We are almost there." True to his word, he pulled off of the main road. He started to drive on gravel, and he soon turned on a corner and stopped in front of a house. The house was beautiful. It was a house with wood and a wrapped around porch. It almost looked like a log cabin, yet it was elegant and modern. Lights twinkled all around it. We were surrounded by trees, so there was plenty of privacy.
"Where are we?" I step out of the car and look at the house in front of me. Alex walks over to me with my bag in his hand.
"We are on the outskirts of Snoqualmie Falls. It's peaceful and secluded. Thought we could spend a couple of days here together."
"Just me and you?"
Alex smiles at me. "Just me and you." Butterfly's start to erupt in my stomach. He takes my hand in his and leads me inside. The inside is just as beautiful as the outside. It has one floor but it's spacious. It's big. There's a big kitchen with a sitting area. Big glass windows look out into the forest. I couldn't help but feel at peace.
I walk around to look all around me. This place felt magical. I turn around and notice Alex smiling at me. "What?" He sets my bag on the ground and shakes his head. He walks over to me.
"Nothing. You're just so beautiful." I don't think as he places his lips on mine. I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him back. I finally felt at home. I break away for a second and see the longing in his eyes. A longing that I've also felt.
"I'm going to use the bathroom," I blurt out.
"Ok. I'll wait for you." I watch as he goes to grab my bag. I calmly take it from him and go into the bathroom that is attached to the bedroom. I quickly shut the door. I sigh into my reflection.
Was this what I wanted? Was I ready for this next step. I never did this in my other world. This would be my first time. I run a hand down my face. Calm down Sophie. I take another deep breath.
I use the bathroom and peel out of the outfit Alice forced me to wear. I open my bag and the first thing I see is black material. It's only upon further inspection that it's black lingerie. "Alice," I gasp. The material falls from my hands. I can't help but to look at the material. Of course, she saw this. I sigh. I could do this. I was ready and I wanted Alex. I was in love with this man. Before I can chicken out, I put the material on. It was cute and practical. I smile at my reflection and take a deep breath. I was finally sure of what I wanted.
I carefully open the bathroom door to find Alex on the bed reading a book. I didn't look at the book. It was irrelevant. The only thing that mattered to me was the man before me. Our eyes connected, and I quickly saw the gold leaving his eyes. I walk over to him as he speeds over to me. I sigh and lean into his hand. Before I can think, I slam my lips on his. All thoughts leave my mind, and I quickly give in to my desires. I wrap my legs around his waist just as I'm softly slammed against the wall. He breaks away from me and looks into my eyes.
He looks at me with desire. "Are you sure. I want you to be absolutely sure."
I don't hesitate with my answer. "Yes, I'm sure. More than sure. You are who I want. I don't want anyone else. I love you, and I want to be with you. In every way possible." He gives me a long look before softly closing the gap with our lips. I sigh in content.
I barely realize that he moved across the bedroom until my back hits the soft mattress. We give into our desires that night. I finally felt free. Every gasp, moan, growl, and grunt; I felt loved. I finally felt whole and knew where I wanted to be.
I never wanted to leave this place. I wanted to stay with Alex. I hoped that if it came down to a choice, I would choose to stay here with my family. I wanted to stay in the world of Twilight.
Well, Sophie and Alex did the deed. I kept going back and forth on if it should be more mature. I'm not the greatest at writing it. So I decided just to tease it a little. I hope you enjoyed everything. More drama will be on the way! Until next time!
