Bella:
I stared at her, waiting for her to tell me she was kidding.
"Old Time Pottery?" I asked incredulously.
"Yes, smarty pants, Old Time Pottery. Now let's get going!" She clapped her hands. I stared at her in disbelief before I finally shook my head and started the engine.
I sped down the highway to the nearest Old Time Pottery, unable to keep in my confusion. "Why Old Time Pottery?"
"You'll see." She said, dismissing my question with a wave of her hand. "Just shut up and drive."
I was about to say something about that last part, but I could see a cop ahead and I struggled to slow down long enough so that I couldn't get caught.
Finally the exit came up for Anchorage and I took it, we were in the out skirts of downtown in no time. Once we finally found the store, I parked and locked the Porsche, still unsure as to what we were doing here.
"Come on!" she yelled, pulling my hand, dragging me into the store. "The place closes in two hours! We have to hurry! Every second counts!
Two hours? I groaned mentally.
She dragged me inside and I was immediately hit with the smell of Terracotta pottery and silk flowers. It smelled dusty. I probably would have sneezed were I a human, but instead I scrunch my nose in distaste.
She continued to drag me through the store, which was like a giant maze, and down a long isle full of LARGE pots, she grabbed a couple big ones and started filling them with a bunch of smaller ones.
"Um, ma'am, would you like some help with that?" asked a nervous employee, who watched as the tiny girl lifted what weighed at least two hundred pounds worth of breakable pottery, and begun carrying it away.
"No, I got it." Replied Jalin, as the employee scurried away, no doubt to find her a cart or something.
"Don't just stand there!" She hissed at me, "Grab some pots!"
This just keeps getting weirder, I thought as I grabbed a couple of large pots and put one inside the other to make it easier, and then she led me to an isle filled with expensive looking glass items. She grabbed a couple of those and started piling them up as well.
I breathed a sigh of relief after looking at some of the price tags. They were fairly cheap, so I grabbed a couple and loaded them up as well.
After she was sure we had enough stuff she lead me to the cash register and threw a thousand dollar bill onto the counter.
"Keep the change!" She yelled at the confused employee and left through the door, with no alarms going off at all.
When we got to the Porsche, I was unsure how to continue. Here I have this tiny Porsche, and at least four hundred pounds worth of breakable stuff, in a two-seater car.
I fit as much as I could into the trunk, which wasn't much, and then handed the rest to Jalin.
"Sorry Jalin, you'll have to hold the rest." I said, smirking. "So we go home now, right?"
"Nope, not yet. Next we go to Wal-Mart." She said, still smiling.
This time I groaned out loud. "Wal-Mart? I hate Wal-Mart!"
"Too bad." She said calmly. "We're going to Wal-Mart."
I sighed and started the engine, and drove the poor over-loaded Porsche to the nearest Wal-Mart, which was wasn't very far.
Well, I thought. At least it's not as bad as Old Time Pottery.
Edward:
I ran closer and closer to her house, hoping that she hadn't left town. I still wasn't sure what I was going to do if she was gone.
Actually, I wasn't sure what I was going to do if she was there. I stopped for a minute, her large yellow house in plain view. What would I say? What if she was still here, but not home?
I walked up to the house quietly. I was going to knock on the door, but thought better of it.
I snuck in through an open side door, which I thought was stupid, it's not safe to leave side doors open. You might have crazy stalker people break in or something.
Hey, wait a minute!
I passed the thought as I tried to track her scent that smelled so much like my dear Bella's, and finally found a room I was sure belonged to her. It just screamed depressed-gothic-vampire-chick-with-a-bad-attitude-lives-here.
She wasn't there, but it smelled like he had been there less than 10 minutes ago! Damn! I sat down on her couch and thought for a minute.
I looked around her room. It didn't look like she was leaving for good. So I breathed a sigh of relief.
So what now? Do I wait around for her here, or at school tomorrow?
But how do I know she isn't planning on leaving? Or dropping out of school?
This was all very confusing. I looked around her room for a minute. I had to admire her taste in books, and music, but I was certain my Bella's would always be better.
I'm not sure how many uncountable moments passed before I realized the sun was set, and that I could get caught at any moment. My family probably thinks I'm a nut case now. Jasper probably wants to murder me, and Carlisle and Esme are going to flip out if I skip school any more.
I sighed and took the music out of my bag, along with a sheet of paper and a pencil.
Callen,
I'm sorry to have ripped up the sheet of music. I didn't mean to; it was an accident.
I took the time to rewrite it for you; I hope you'll forgive me.
-Edward
I folded the sheet along with the sheet music and looked around her desk until I found an empty envelope. After I found one and placed the two sheets in, I wrote Callen's name of the front of the envelope, and taped it to the inside of her door.
I left through the side door again, unsure if I'd rather get caught in a stranger's house than go home and face the wrath of my family.
Bella:
I had no idea what we were doing with four hundred pounds worth of breakable stuff until she pulled me to the athletics department in Wal-Mart.
Alright, so I was still confused when we were in the athletics department. It wasn't until she handed me two light, but hard aluminum bats that I really got the idea. I stared at the inviting bat in my hand and looked up to meet Jalin's grin. I grinned in response.
"Oh." I said, grinning like a mad woman.
"'Oh.' is right." She said, leading me to the cash register. The person behind the register looked at us a little strangely, but we finally made it to the car and onto the highway.
"Where to now?" I asked. She shrugged.
"I don't know." She replied. "Where do you want to go that feels like a good place to smash stuff?"
I thought about that for a minute. "I don't know." I finally said.
"Hm." She said, thinking deeply.
We drove in silence for a few minutes, before I finally made the decision to simply do it in the back yard. We pulled into the drive way and carried the stuff to the back and placed them gingerly on the floor.
Jalin wrung her hands on the bat, eying the pile of easily broken treasures furtively.
Finally, I went over, picked up a small glass paper weight, pulled my arm back, and waited for her to give the word.
"Pull!"
