Twilight World All Over Again - Heather Lawhun (great books for teens .TXT) 📗

got out. When I was through in there, I went into Emmett’s room and found him lying on his couch, reading. This is the first time I’ve ever seen him reading. I thought in amazement. He looked up and grinned when he saw me.
“What?”
“This is the first time I’ve seen you read.” He rolled his eyes. I chuckled. I walked over to him and sat on his chest when he put the book down. He pulled me down to where I was lying on top of him. He hugged me to him and I hugged him back. I got strangely comfortable and fell asleep some time later. I heard him chuckle as I slipped into a dreamless sleep.
Adventures in Babysitting
Everyone left for the baseball game, finally. Not that I don’t like having them around, but it is so much easier to keep the kids under control when there weren’t so many people in my way. I was just getting dinner on the table for them when my cell rang. “Hello?”
“How early can you take Lizzie? I was told I could come in tonight if you will watch her.”
“Sure” I said and I gave her the address. “Bella?” I yelled. She poked her head out from upstairs. “There is a new little girl I will be watching. I am gonna try and keep her as blocked off from our world as possible. I will keep my wings hidden, but I will need you to let the others know so that when they get in, they’ll know.”
“Sure thing, Punk.” She said with a smile. Great. Now she was calling me that too.
“Does Renesmee want a cupcake?” I ask, knowing Bella hates to deal with a hyper Nessie. She came running downstairs at a somewhat human pace.
“How was that?” she asked.
“Wonderful” I said, right as the doorbell rang. I went to the door and saw Lizzie packed for an overnight stay.
“I will come and get her tomorrow since I will be working so late. Is that fine?”
“Sure” I said, smiling at Lizzie.
“She hasn’t eaten yet, but I can buy her something if that’s a problem.”
“Not at all, I was just getting the other kids fed, anyways” Lily left and I took Lizzie to the kitchen. “What do you want to eat?” I asked her. She reached for a cupcake, but I told her she needed to eat something else first. She ate a grilled cheese sandwich and some macaroni and cheese, same as Jade. Then, I took the kids upstairs and they played with Renesmee for a while. I had the easiest job in the world, just watching these little girls act like princesses, at least I thought, until I heard Jade.
“Does your mommy grow wings, too?”
“Mommies don’t grow wings, silly.” Lizzie said, laughing.
“My mommy does” Jade said, pointing at me.
“No, I don’t, Jade. Why don’t we play with the dollies?” I said, trying to think fast.
“Hey, can you watch Nessie? My husband is being stupid.” Bella asked, throwing on her coat.
“Sure.” I said. Leaving me alone with 4 kids, plus Bree, seemed like an excellent idea to the girl who grows fangs. To me it seemed like a nightmare since the girls wanted to talk about things that shouldn’t exist. I decided that it was time for dessert and took the kids down for cupcakes. Then, I turned on cartoons and before I knew it, they were out for the night. I heard the others start to come in, see the kids and silently go upstairs. Jasper came down and helped me carry the girls up to their rooms. When we got to Lizzie, I told him to put her in my bed. “Did you have fun?” I asked him once the girls were all tucked in.
“Yeah. They had a snow ball fight and we totally beat Edward’s team. What about you? Did the girls wear you out?” he asked, laughing.
“Jade decided to talk about my wings with Lizzie, who I really don’t want knowing yet. Her mom is kind of nervous to leave her here already. I don’t need her thinking I am a freak.”
“You aren’t a freak, Shay. You might be different, but so is everyone else in this house. It’s a matter of dealing with what is handed to you and making the best of it. As for Jade, all little girls exaggerate. Lizzie will probably think that she means a tattoo or dress up or something. Even if Lily did find out, she knows how kids are, I’m sure. She won’t believe it.” Jasper wrapped me in a hug and I started to feel a little more comfortable and relax a little. We played Uno for a while and I started to get tired. Jasper wouldn’t let me sleep on the couch, so I slept in his room and he watched me until I fell asleep.
Decisions
The next few days have been weird and confusing. Weird, because Shay is watching a little girl that she’s trying to keep away from our world and Emmett for some reason seems to be drawn back. Like he’ll give me hug or two, but then he’s starting to leave the room when I walk in. I don’t get him and that’s the confusing part. If I did something to upset him, then he should tell me and we can work it out, but when I ask him about it, he just changes the subject or finds some excuse to leave the room. It’s starting to annoy and piss me off, but I don’t say anything. I’ve decided that if he doesn’t want to tell me then he doesn’t have to, but I’m not going to be able to go on like this any longer. I’m getting sick and tired of it. I’m out walking in the forest right now trying to get some air and trying to get away from Emmett. He’s really annoying the hell out of me and that’s coming from someone who annoys people for the fun of it. Also lately, I’ve been getting weird notes from someone. They’re annoying too. Like this morning, I went into my room and was planning on taking a nap, hoping that when I wake up, Emmett would come and say that he was just joking around with me and that none of this stuff ever happened, but I saw a piece of paper on my pillow. There was writing on it and it said, ‘Having trouble with your mindreading? I can help.’ I was curious, how did this person know? I’m surprised that I actually want to contact this person and see what they know. Of course, Sparkles stopped me on my way out and told me that it probably wasn’t a good idea to go looking for the guy. And I agree, it’s not a good idea and yet I’m out here walking around. I’m not looking for the guy if you think I am. I just wanted to get out of the house. This is so frustrating. I thought as I sat down on a fallen tree trunk after I dusted off the snow. I looked up at the cloudy sky and sighed.
“Why so blue?” A deep voice, that I’ve never heard before asked. I looked around and saw a guy with spiky dirty blond hair, green eyes, a lot of muscle, tan, about 6’4, he was just wearing a pair of ripped up jeans and shoes, and I must admit, he looked sexy. “Thank you.” He said grinning. Wait did that guy just read my mind? He rolled his eyes. “No dip Sherlock.” I rolled my eyes.
“So if you can read my mind, then why do you ask?” I asked looking back up at the cloudy sky. He sat down next to me.
“I don’t know you look like you need someone to talk to.”
“I’ve never seen you around here before, so you must be new in town.”
“My family and I are staying here for a week. We have some family members in Alaska that we’re going to visit. One of them passed away.”
“I’m sorry to hear that.” He shrugged.
“He was an idiot. He thought it’d be cool to go jump off a sixty foot iceberg and into the ocean.” I shook my head.
“I’m sorry, but that’s the most idiotic thing a person could do.” He chuckled. “You’re obviously not a vampire, so what are you?” I asked curiously.
“I’m like you. Well, my family and I are like you.”
“Oh? Then I’m guessing one of your family members attacked me, yes?”
“You caught me.”
“You were the one who attacked me?” I asked surprised.
“Yeah, sorry about that, I wasn’t really all there if you know what I mean.” I shrugged.
“Yeah.”
“So do you want my help or not?”
“So you’re the one who’s been leaving me those notes. I’m sorry but that was cheesy.” He chuckled.
“Maybe so, but I got your attention didn’t I?”
“So you can help me with my mind reading thing?”
“If you want me to.”
“What’s the catch?”
“What catch, there’s no catch.” He said a little too quickly.
“You just told me there is.” He chuckled.
“You’re a smart one.”
“I don’t know if I should take that as a compliment or an insult.” He shook his head.
“You’re right, there is a catch.”
“And?”
“The only way I can help you is if you will come stay with me and my family and be mine.”
“Okay, I wasn’t expecting that.” I said a little surprised. He chuckled.
“You don’t have to decide now. I’ll let you have two days.” Then he frowned. “I’ve got to go.” Then he jumped up into the trees and took off.
“Brat, that’s a very bad idea.” Sparkles said stopping next to me and looking after the guy as he left. You know, I didn’t ask for his name. Sparkles growled. “That’s not important. If you hurt Emmett, I swear,” I glared at him and said,
“It’s not Emmett who will end up being hurt.” Sparkles was surprised by this and I took off. I was mad now. I spent the rest of the evening up in the mountains. Now Sparkles is pissing me off. If I could have made up my mind right now, I would’ve said that I’d go with that guy just to get away from Emmett and Sparkles, but I know that if I had said yes, then I’d regret it and I don’t want to leave knowing I’m going to regret doing it. I sighed and slid down the cave wall. I don’t even want to go back to the house I’m so mad. I took in a deep breath and let it out trying to calm myself down. I did this several times. I’m being a big baby. If Emmett doesn’t want to be with me anymore, then that’s his choice. You can’t force someone to like you and to be with you. After reasoning with myself for two hours, I went back to the house. Sparkles looked at me apologetically and was about to say something but I stopped him and said, “Don’t worry about it. You were just worried about Emmett.” He nodded and I went to my room and just decided to go to bed. I fell asleep two hours later and had dreams about the guy I was talking to earlier. When I woke up the next morning, Emmett was sitting on my bed, looking guilty. “What’s wrong?” I asked sitting up.
“I’m sorry I just don’t want to be with you anymore.” He said looking down at his lap. I sighed inwardly. I knew this was going to happen.
“Okay, I understand.” He looked over at me.
“Are you sure?” I nodded.
“If this is what you want then it’s okay
