Invisible

Because Of Me

Chapter 18:

Lux POV:

"ZOE! OH MY GOD I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" I squealed, hugging my blonde best friend. She eagerly squeezed me back, twirling around

If you don't remember, Zoe was my best friend back in the day. It feels like ages since I was back with her as a human, though it's only been a week.

"I missed you too!" She squealed back. We eventually stopped hugging and turned towards the curious Cullen family in the hall.

"Zoe, this is the Cullen family. I went to summer camp with Edward and Rosalie, when we found out that they live in the same town as my mom. I've stopped by every year for the holidays, and I thought "Hey why not come see them for Thanksgiving this year?" And I've been with them for the past week, and I'll probably be moving in with them soon." I rushed out, lying on the spot.

"You're moving out of my apartment?" Zoe asked hurt. Their was an awkward silence. The Cullen's awkwardly backed out of the room, murmuring their goodbyes.

"Um yeah..."

"Lux Elaina Thompson, why didn't you call? I was so worried when you didn't come home after Thanksgiving. And then I travel all the way to Forks to find you at your friends house? And now your moving in!?" Zoe yelled.

I totally forgot my original last name.... Shit I'm going to have to be careful what I say around Zoe. How on earth am I going to act around her?

Plus there's so much she doesn't know, and there's not really a food way to tell your beat friend that you're not a human. Like, I was almost mugged to death and two vampires bit me so I could live immortally. Or how about, I'm not only a vampire, I can also turn invisible, and give anything or anyone my powers. Oh yeah, did I mention that I have a were wolf boyfriend? Yeah, they exist too. Or maybe that I am a Protecter for a girl I tried to kill, and that people think I kidnapped her best friend. Oh but this one's the best, an old ass vampire that murdered children is coming after my mom, grandma, and me, along with the fact that the Volturi is trying to frame me for her crime?

Great conversation starter. FML.

"I did call you, twice! And I can move wherever I want Zoe! How did you even find me?" I asked. Zoe frowned, crossing her arms.

"I went to your mom's house after you didn't come home two days later with no message, and she told me you ran into some old friends to stay with called "the Cullen's" so looked it up and drove here. Forks isn't exactly a big town Lux." She sassed me, I growled.

"Look I know you're upset but I'm leaving on a.....um...... Trip tomorrow, so I really just want to relax right now." I told my clingy best friend, sighing. She sighed too, hugging me.

"I'm sorry, I just needed to know you were safe. And it's fine if you move out, I get that you probably want to be closer to your mom, but I'll miss you." Zoe said smiling. I nodded, pretending that's why I was moving out.

"Yeah it'll be easier that way." I mumbled, humoring myself.

"So I have two questions for you." Zoe said, leaning on the wall and playing with her blonde hair.

"Yeah?"

"One, is where are you going on your trip? And two is, seriously? The purple contacts are a little tacky, if you're going goth, at least go original." I laughed.

"I'm leaving for a little vacation before Christmas." I easily lied. She didn't need to know that I was going to hunt Aria all over the world, until I killed her.

"Oh I see. Well that's nice. How long?" Zoe asked, and I closed my eyes in thought.

Traveling all over the world by foot...... How long would it take? ( I couldn't take my Ferrari because the Volturi would hunt me down and drag me back to Volterra for questioning). Hmmm...
