Quinn O'Connell was the pretty girl in pink, the homecoming queen and all-around straight-A student. Most people saw her as uptight, narcissistic but most importantly... They saw her as a control freak with her perfect blonde hair and patronising sm...

"Tell me how you feel" Carlisle hummed, his forehead pressed against hers as they stood side-by-side in their shared bedroom, nothing else in the world mattered as he held her then, because they were both safe, at least for now. Running a hand through the softness of her hair- Carlisle smiled, they were okay.
"I feel oddly invisible." she returned. "I could've died yesterday, Victoria had her arms around my neck. Another twenty seconds and I'd have been beheaded." she scoffed and Carlisle tensed. "But Edward saved me."
"You saved him first" Carlisle whispered and pressed a kiss to the end of her nose, making her scrunch it up cutely as he chuckled and took a step back.
"I'm finally starting to feel normal. I didn't even know that I felt abnormal but being here, in Forks... It makes me feel so different, until now, now I feel normal" she laughed at her own words and he chuckled as he flopped to lie down on the bed, her jumping beside him and lying backwards as a grin as she looked sideways at where he was practically faceplanting the pillow. "You're so gorgeous" she hummed and he rose an eyebrow in slight shock before smiling cheekily and turning his head to hide it in the pillow. "Hey!" she laughed and he chuckled though didn't move. "What are you doing?"
"I'm hiding."
"Oh, yeah? And isn't there anything I could do to stop you from hiding?" she mocked, resting her chin in her hand as she flipped over, watching him with her delicate eyes and he peeked sideways at her, grinning. That just made her giggle and he chuckled. Somehow, a random moment had them both laughing and Carlisle finally rolled over, accepting her into his arms, flattening her hair as he did so snuggling into her. "I feel like I could sleep"
"You once told me that if you ever became a vampire, you'd go to bed every night and pretend to sleep." he chuckled and she scoffed, remembering vividly despite it being a human memory. A knock on the glass window made them both jump and they whipped their heads around to see Emmett standing on the balcony with a grin on his lips as he waved from the other side of the locked door. Quinn and Carlisle exchanged bemused glances before the blonde girl stood and let the burly man in.
"I'm glad I didn't catch you in the act" he teased with a grin as he wiggled his eyebrows. Carlisle scoffed and refused to answer but Quinn being Quinn felt the need to entertain Emmett's stupidity.
"Out of innocent curiosity... What would you have done if you did?" she grinned and he blinked.
"I caught Alice and Jaz once... I'm still scarred" he whispered the last part and Carlisle looked mortified while Quinn merely burst out laughing.
"What can we do for you, Emmett?" Carlisle cut in and the burly man suddenly realised what he was doing in their room at the random hour as night fell beyond the window.
"Oh yeah. We're having a bonfire, Jack sent me to get you." he nodded and the couple smiled at one another as they followed him all the way into the back garden. Once there, they found the Cullens sat around a bonfire on logs and random blankets with smiles on their faces. "I know this is tempting for you, Quinn but don't go setting things on fire now, you freakish pyromaniac" Emmett laughed rowdily.
"What a shame, I was thinking of setting the house on fire, give us a reason to get out of this place once and for all." she sarked in return and Carlisle chuckled as he helped her to sit. Quinn found herself sat on the ground beside Bella. Edward and Carlisle sat behind their two girlfriends, on the bench and Quinn leant backwards between her fiance's legs, smiling as he pressed a delicate kiss to her forehead.
"Forks is starting to grow on you, Quinn." Edward teased and she glared backwards at him, making him glare mockingly in return as his girlfriend laughed between his legs. Bella smiled at her blonde friend and untucked the blanket around her shoulders, pushing it over Quinns back and the blonde smiled as she snuggled closer to Bella so they could easily share a blanket.
"I happen to quite like Forks" Jack piped up from across the fire where he sat with Esme on his lap.
"Yeah, sure you do Lasagne" Emmett teased. "It's a far cry from Alaska." everyone frowned at his choice of nickname though Quinn laughed and Jack shook his head.
"Lasange is Italian, Emmett." she nodded before frowning and turning to Carlisle. "Right?"
"Right" he chuckled affirmatively as he placed his hand on his knee beside her shoulder. Quinn watched sadly as Bella ate a marshmallow she'd crispified on the fire.
"I miss food." she mummed.
"Try it" Jasper stated, perfectly calmly and everyone around them exchanged glances.
"Jaz" Alice laughed.
"Nah, I think Quinn deserves to try how horrible human food it." Emmett mocked with a grin and she glared but otherwise accepted the marshmallow from Bella with incredulous eyes as she looked up at Carlisle. The doctor merely laughed.
"It's not poisonous Quinn" Rosalie laughed, seeing how reluctant she was to eat it and the newest vampire finally sighed and popped it in her mouth, keeping her expression smooth as she chewed and swallowed. Everyone around her looked on with shocked eyes at how calm she was.
"Well?"
"That tasted like shit" she finally broke out, her face screwing up in disgust and the vampires laughed.
"Quinn" Carlisle warned though his eyes were light.
"Carlisle" she mocked in return and he playfully glared at her, making her grin as she pulled his scarf to bring his head down, placing a kiss to his lips. He smiled before sitting back up again.
"Quinn, you're going to be one of Bella bridesmaids" Alice cheered and Quinn frowned, raising an eyebrow.
"How did I win that honour?" she teased, nudging Bella in the shoulder slightly.
"Bella doesn't have many human friends." the clairvoyant clapped.
"I'm not a human friend" the blonde vampire reminded and Alice merely shrugged with a grin.
"Quinn can't be a bridesmaid" Edward decided and the newborn glared backwards at him in shock.
"And why not?" she laughed.
"Because you're my best man." he decided with a victorious grin and her eyes lit up with excitement at the thought. Standing, she rounded the group quickly to hug Edward and he laughed as he returned with the same intensity, Bella smiling gently at the sweet scene.
"Before you say anything Alice, it's the twenty-first century, Quinn can be the best man" Rosalie cut in when she saw Alice's displeased expression.
"I wasn't going to say anything" she huffed though they all knew she was lying and Jasper laughed as he hugged her closer.
