Annabella Cullen

~Chapter twenty-seven~

I storm off into the house, Nessie following in behind me. I was outraged at a girl in my journalism class. A girl who decided to mess with my dark side. I mean who did she think she is, trying to be a control freak, well I wasn't accepting that at all. I ran up to my room and threw my backpack on the bed. I headed off to my balcony and a last minute decision made me cascade down it.

     I landed in a squat at the bottom of the house. I ran up to the lake area and once I was at the top, I spotted someone across the way. As I walked closer I realized it was Baileh. "Baileh," I yelled, he looked around, startled, and then spotted me. He waved and ran around the edge of the lake to me. "Hey Bella," he said, a smile on his face. At school I had adapted the nickname Bella, though at home I was called Annie considering my mom's name is Bella.

      "Do you always randomly walk here after school?" I asked him. Shrugging he replied, "When math homework annoys me I tend to come here." I laughed a little and said, "Well, math is a pretty annoying thing to do." Baileh shook his head and said, "What are you doing here?" I gave a sly smile and replied, "I needed somewhere to vent my feelings, and I thought this would be a good place. Well until I found you here."

      "Why do you need to vent your feelings? Was someone being mean to you, Bella?" he asked. I arched my eyebrow and replied, "Well there is just this mean girl in my journalism class. She thinks she can just waltz in there and have everyone bow to her feet." Baileh looked deep in thought for a moment before he asked, "Was that girl by any chance Morgan Collins?" I snorted and said, "Yup, the queen jerk." Baileh laughed, shaking his head, "She's been like that since fourth grade, just don't let her get to you."

     I nodded, a light breeze caused me to shutter. "Annabella," I heard my mom's voice call, almost as if it had danced off the wind. I slouched and told Baileh bye. He waved as I ran back towards the house. Mom was standing on the back porch and when she saw me, a smile appeared on her face. "Seth's here," she called. My heart did a flip and I sprinted past mom, inside. As I ran into the entryway I spotted Seth.

     I ran to him and he caught me as I jumped up. "Hey, Annie," I smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek as he set me back on my feet. "What's got you all bubbly today?" he asked. I grinned and replied, "I"ve been missing you, and I had a hard day at school." He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear and told me, "Your mom told me to expect a grump when you came. She said that there was a mean girl at school."

     Seth flicked his shaggy hair out of his face, his brown eyes boring into mine, "Yeah. I mean she is just rude and thinks everyone should obey her command," I said, looking down at the floor. I felt Seth's warm hand under my chin and he tilted my head up to look at him. "No need to fret, you are strong. Annabella, you faced the Volturi, a meaningless girl does not mean much, hence the word 'meaningless'. Just do your best around her and everything should be fine."

     Smiling, I hugged him. He wrapped his arms around me as well. I felt protected when I was with him, like nothing and none could harm me or him even. I think the fact that Seth did imprint on me, only made my feelings stronger. We let go and I took his hand, leading him up to my room. "So we're going this far now," Seth teased. I smacked him on the arm and he whimpered a little. I smirked. He chuckled as we headed into my room.

     I went to my bed and flopped down, Seth followed my motions. "As I recall I asked if we were going far," Seth teased again. I pushed him, hysterical giggles following. "Yup, because a totally innocent 12 year old girl will totally go this far with her 15 year old boyfriend. Sounds right to me," I retorted, another spasm of giggles came after. He smirked and snuck a kiss on my cheek. "Whoa take it slow guys," Uncle Emmett said, peeking into my room.

     "Go away," I yelled, throwing a pillow at him, he ducked out. His booming laughter echoed as I heard him head down the stairs. My phone began to ring and I reached onto my nightstand to see who it was. The caller ID read Baileh Peterson. I shook my head and answered, "Wow, Baileh I was gone for like ten minutes and you still can't get enough of me."

     His response was laughter and he said, "Yes, because I have a total obsession Bella. Well anyways, I wanted to ask if next Saturday you wanted to come with me and a few friends to the near by beach. Renesmee is invited of course." I sat back for moment, just long enough for Aunt Alice to peek her head in and give me nod, signaling "Ok". I smiled and told him, "That sounds awesome, text or call me later with more deeds." I could almost hear the smile in his voice as he said, "Awesome. Will do, bye Bella."

     The line clicked dead before I could say bye. "Who was that and what did they want?" Seth questioned, sounding all macho. I laughed and replied, "Baileh and he wanted to see if I wanted to go to the beach with him and his pals next Saturday, along with Nessie."  Seth nodded in understanding and then stood up. "What are you doing?" I questioned. "I have a sudden urge to dance with you, my dear, Annie," he announced, reaching a hand out to me. I took it and switched on my Ihome.

     I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz began to play and I smiled. "I love this song," we whispered at the same time. Seth began to twirl me around and I smiled. It was funny how I could come home angry, but Seth just melts my emotions away.

                                              Seth's Point Of View

Some times I hated when Annabella talked to Baileh. He made her laugh and smile as I did, I could tell that kid liked her. She was my imprintee and though she has her own choices, she has shown me that I was her choice. I had to let these stupid guy jealousy hormones go. I stood up, a compulsion of my own to dance with Annie happened.

     "What re you doing?" Annie's beautiful voice asked me. "I have a sudden urge to dance with you, my dear, Annie," I told her, reaching out a hand. Her small hand slipped into mine easily, as she flipped on her music. I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz popped on, the perfect song for this moment. "I love this song," we ended up whispering in a union.

      My mom had taught me how to dance and I twirled Annie around a few times. Her face was plastered with a huge smile, which reassured me two things.

     1: Being that I can make her happy on her worst of days

     2: I should stop being a dick and trust that Baileh won't take my Annabella.

     I can believe those things right? "You're the greatest, Seth. I love you," Annabella told me, whole-heartedly. Yep, I think that was my reassurance.
