Storming Sky

EXPOSED

It was freezing. Properly, legitimately, freezing.

"I'm pretty sure my hair is frozen," I said, to no one in particular when I got out of the shower. I knew that someone heard me, but the only response I got was a fire being lit downstairs.

"Thanks," I called. Again, to whoever was listening. Emmett and Rosalie were doing...well, probably each other, and Alice and Jasper were by themselves in their room. My mom was making breakfast and dad had left for work before I got up. Edward was who knows where.

"You're welcome, little darlin'," Jasper yelled from downstairs, using his pet name for me.

I walked downstairs to find Edward walking through the front door with a conflicted look on his face.

"Tough night?" I asked him. I felt bad for him with all of this Bella drama.

"Something like that, don't worry yourself," he said, kissing me on the forehead. I made a face. You know I don't like it when you do that, it makes me feel like I'm a small child.

"To me, you are a small child," Edward chuckled. I rolled my eyes and went to the kitchen. Apparently, Jasper was joining me for breakfast.

"Good morning, mom," I smiled, giving my mom a hug.

"Good morning, dear. I hope toast and eggs are okay?" She asked, hesitantly. She didn't eat herself, so she never knew what my appetite was like. When I was younger, this was a problem. Now, I learned to eat almost anything.

"It's fine," I said, smiling. Not many moms still made their kids breakfast at my age, so I appreciated her. I turned to Jasper.

"So, what's going on? You only eat breakfast with me when something is wrong," I told him, giving him a knowing glance. He shrugged.

"Am I not allowed to enjoy" he looked at my breakfast of toast and eggs and grimaced, "whatever that is with my little sister?"

"First of all, this is toast and eggs. Second of all, you called me 'little darlin'' this morning. There's something you all aren't telling me and you know it," I said.

"I wish I could tell you, but I don't know myself," Jasper responded sadly. Apparently the freaks of the house were keeping him out of the loop too.

"Is it Edward?" I asked him.

"Likely," he said, right before a huge tumble came from the staircase.

"Emmett!" My mom hissed from the kitchen. She could be scary when she wanted to be.

"Sorry, mom," Emmett said bashfully, although I barely heard it. Rosalie, Alice, and Edward all came down the staircase closely behind him.

"Are you almost ready?" Alice asked, looking a bit more gleeful than the last time I saw her.

"Yeah, let me just brush my teeth," I said, putting my dishes in the sink and running to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth quickly and my mom handed me my backpack.

"Have a good day," she smiled.

"You too!" I said to her before turning and going to the car. Like always, my siblings were already there and waiting for me.

"Slow poke," Emmett said jokingly from the backseat.

"Speed demon," I responded, causing Edward to roll his eyes.

After that, the car ride was pretty quiet. No one wanted to talk about school, especially the Bella girl. Alice was searching her visions, trying to figure out if anyone would die today. Jasper was looking at Alice, trying to figure out what she was hiding. Rosalie and Emmett were looking at each other, probably trying to figure out if they would get to sneak off and make out any time soon.
