They say that the best people come unexpectedly. Kaylia Cooper runs away from home to live with her father. In a town like Forks Washington where secrets are buried, Kaylia finds herself discovering all that the town has to offer. She finds love, an...
Jessica stands at the podium starting her speech, "When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up... Our answers were thing like astronaut, president... Or in my case, princess. When we were ten, they asked again and we answered – rock star, cowboy, or in my case, gold medalist. But now that we've grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how 'bout this: who the hell knows?! This isn't the time to make hard and fast decisions, it's the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train, and get stuck somewhere chill. Fall in love – a lot. Major in philosophy because there's no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind. Then change it again, because nothing is permanent... So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be... we won't have to guess. We'll know."
"The poor baby's gonna cry" Emmett teases playfully tugging on my straight hair.
"I am not" I whine with watery eyes. Watching as Bella, Edward, Jasper, and Alice walk for graduation. I don't want to admit that Jessica's speech made me feel something.
"It's okay to cry. I mean you still have another year of school. And none of us will be there. You will be all lonely, and friendless-
I punch him in his stomach, not hard enough to break my hand. But he pretends I hurt him as he doubles up.
"Don't tease her about it" Esme warns. Emmett stopped abruptly and faces forward. Leaving Rosalie, Carlisle, and Esme to laugh quietly.

Alice and I are dancing around wildly along with the many other people here. Our home was wall to wall with teenagers, dancing and celebrating. With all the decorations and lights Alice and I strung up, our home looked like a magical nightclub with no alcohol. The dim setting was making the mood cozy but also fun either way the loud music playing.
Bella comes over hesitant with Angela, and Jessica leading the way. Her face relaxes a little more when she sees Alice and I waving her over. She kinda just stands there and shuffled around a little bit. But I grab her hand along with Alice's and spins us around a few times. Our giggles ringing through the air.
"Okay," I pant, "I really need a drink."
"I'll come with, Alice?" Bella questions.
"Go, I'll find Jasper" She says then walks away.
Bella and I go to the vacant kitchen. I head straight to the punch bowl and sniff it to make sure it hasn't been spiked. I never liked alcohol. When I think it's safe I pour myself a cup and chug it down. Breathing heavily like I just ran across the Sahara desert.
"Slow your roll. Can't have you choking one me" Bella laughed.
"You don't have a dick," I state, "If anything I'd choke on Ja-
"Okay. That's enough out of you" Bella laughed hard covering my mouth. I just shrug and she lets go after a moment.
Bella must have caught something out of the corner of her eye. She grabs my hand and takes off walking.
