The Bond We Have

"Open this" Alice said shoving a box into my arms raising one eyebrow I looked at her excited expression before shrugging and opening the box that was forced into my arms I saw a black and white baseball shirt that said L. Cullen making me slightly tear up.

I think Alice believed I didn't like it when in reality I loved it. It made me feel more at home with them like I really belonged with them. "If you don't like I can-" I cut her off by pulling her into a hug.

"I love it but why are you giving this to me?" I asked wiping my watery eyes as she smiled brightly.

"We're going to play baseball today and decided to get you a jersey made but more unique than ours since we know how you are with your clothing style!" She chirped as I smiled clutching the shirt in my hands.

"Thank you Alice" she nodded before walking over to my window. "By the way Emmett and Rosalie will be here to get you at 10" she said before hopping out of the window and disappearing.

I got a sudden message from my manager about going on tour earlier than I was supposed to and it would cut into my senior year as well.

Jennifer

Good Morning Lily, I hope this isn't a bad time but I'm informing you of a change in plans.

Originally, the plan was to start your tour in May at the end of the year and be done by August twentieth so you could prepare for school but things have changed.

Tour will start earlier so two days after prom and instead of only the US and Europe we're doing Italy as well we'll be in Volterra near the castle where the Volturis live.

I tried to get it changed but it's out of my hands. It's where your meet and greet and collaboration with (Favorite/Gamer) will be.

That's all she said my eyebrows furrowed when she mentioned the Volturi in Italy. I know there's no way to get around being there.

I just sighed and opted to show the others later on after the game. I got ready for the game throwing on a black shirt with the baseball jersey on but unbuttoned along with a pair of leggings so I can move freely long socks and sneakers plus the black and white baseball cap Alice brought.

After I got ready I started doing research on Italy specifically the castle. I know who the Volturi are but I've never been to Italy before.

Jennifer always tried to avoid going there since she's the one who told me the legends in the first place.

She's not what the rez call 'a pale face' she's like Billy and Jacob. She has darker skin, brown eyes, dark brown hair, and well she's native.

This means she knows all about the legends and wanted me to be safe if I had ever decided to go back to Forks.

After a lot of research and anxiety I got a message from Rose saying they were outside.

Shutting down all the tabs and turning off my computer I grabbed my hat along with a hoodie and went downstairs to let Charlie know about the game.

"Hey dad I'm going out to play baseball with the Cullens" I said leaning against the wall. "The Cullens?" I nodded "I'm kind of dating Rosalie and Emmett..." my voice trailed off "you mean all three of you...? Together?" He asked as I nodded biting my lip nervously.
