Two Loves are Better than One

Chapter 5

"Lily," poke "Lily," poke "Lily!"

"Wha-what" I said, bolting up in bed.

"I think I know what they are" Bella said.

"What, who?" I asked sleepily.

"The Cullens," I was wide awake now.

"What, really?" I exclaimed.

"Yes! Come here" She pulled me to her room and showed me all her evidence, and I have to admit, it's pretty compelling evidence.

"So vampires, huh?" I asked.

"Yeah, I think so" She said, I sighed.

"Are you going to confront him tomorrow?" I asked

"Yeah" Bella replied.

"Well, don't die" I said.

"Gee, thanks" She said sarcastically.

"Anytime, sis, anytime" I said, getting up, "Anyway, I need sleep."

"Wait, are you going to talk to Jasper and Alice?" She asked.

"I suppose I should" I sighed, thinking of how complicated this was going to be.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To say I was nervous was an understatement, I was practically shaking as I made my way toward Alice and Jasper after school. When they saw me the nervousness lessened a little bit.

"Why so nervous, darlin'"Jasper asked, 'Darlin'? That's new.'

"How'd you know I was nervous- you know what never mind, I need to get straight to the point" I said, trying to control my breathing, I looked around, making sure no one was too close, then took a deep breath "You guys are vampires, right?"

They both tensed then responded after a couple of seconds.

"Yes" Jasper said, hesitantly.

"But how did you find out?" Alice asked.

"Bella" I said "She's very stubborn when she wants to be."

"And you're not... afraid?" Jasper asked.

"No..." I answered "Should I be?"

"Probably-" Jasper started but Alice cut him off.

"Of course not" She said, giving him a pointed look "So you still want to go to Prom?"

"Of course, Oh!" I exclaimed, then face palmed "I completely forgot about coordinating so I already got a dress" I looked at Alice apologetically.

"As much as I wanted to go shopping with you, it's fine, we'll just go with the color of your dress" Alice said excitedly "Which is?"

"It's black with a dark purple belt" I said

"Dark purple it is!" Alice cheered and she hugged me, I hugged her back. "Okay, well, I have to go now, but I'll see you guys later okay?" I said, I gave Alice one last hug and blew Jasper a kiss before running off to the truck.

Bella didn't tell me that Edward was giving her a ride to school so I was a little upset to learn that she had already left when I was ready to leave. I ended up having to ask dad for a ride. When I saw Bella in the halls I went up to her.

"Hey, Bella" I greeted "Why didn't you tell me Edward was giving you a ride?"

"Oh, sorry, I forgot" She said facepalming, I sighed.

"It's fine, I just need a heads up next, okay?" I said, before heading to class. In history I asked Jasper and Alice if they wanted to hang out after school and they agreed, so now I couldn't wait.
