Chapter Six, The School trip and Waylon's Death
The next morning we were going on a school trip to one of the Greenhouses for Biology. I groaned as I switched my alarm off on my phone heading into the bathroom for a shower, doing my morning routine before coming back into my bedroom to get dressed. I quickly changed into black jeans with a red pattern on them, a plain black top, red cardigan, red hooded coat, black ankle boots, a black choker and a gold bracelet with my small red rucksack. I decided on natural makeup and bright red lip stick and left my hair in its natural curls.
Entering the kitchen I noticed dad wasn't here, he must have left early for work. No doubt still trying to find out what happened to the security guard, which I knew was vampires I just wish he would be careful. I was brought out of my thoughts by my phone vibrating in my pocket. Grabbing it I saw it was a text from Jasper saying he would be here in five minutes. I quickly finished my tea and my breakfast I ran upstairs carefully, brushed my teeth and woke Bella up.
"Hi babe." I greeted smiling happily at Jasper wrapping my arms around his neck as he wrapped his around my waist. "Hello darling. You look beautiful as always." Jasper purred kissing me passionately. "Come on we better get to school." I said giggling at Jasper who sighed as we got in his car and drove off to school.
"Hi guys." I greeted hugging everyone except Edward.
"Hello shortie." Emmett teased. I playfully glared at him and stuck my tongue out which he copied. "Nice lipstick Jasper." Emmett teased letting out a booming laugh attracting everyone's attention. Rosalie and I rolled our eyes and smacked him. "That hurt!" Emmett pouted making me giggle as I rolled my eyes at him.
"Oh, Anna we have to get you a dress for prom soon. You're coming!" Alice said in a no argument voice. Rosalie looked at her 'younger sister' with an eyebrow raised. "You do know it's two months after she gives birth right?" Rosalie asked Alice. It was Alice's turn to roll her eyes. "So!" Alice scoffed. "She can still come I'm sure her dad will look after Willow or Esme."
Jasper shook his head at Alice sharing a look with Dean and Emmett. Sometimes there was no arguing with Alice when she sets her mind on something. "Well, if I'm being forced to come it's a good thing Jasper already asked me then." I sassed making Alice pout, I giggled and gave her a hug as everyone laughed. Before anyone could say anything else we heard a voice from behind us. "Err... Annalyssa!" Bella's friend Mike said clearing his throat awkwardly as Jasper stared at him. "I was wondering if you wanted to go to prom with me?" He asked. I starred at crossing my arms over my chest and raising my eyebrow at him.
'Is he for real? Did he seriously just ask when he knows I'm dating Jasper.' I thought how stupid could one person be? "You do know I'm dating Jasper right? So obviously I'm going with him as Jasper asked me to go already!" I sassed at him. Rubbing Jasper's arm, that were around my waist, soothingly as he glared at Mike. I knew he was refraining himself from snarling.
"Yeah I know." Mike said uneasy with all the glares directed at him. "I just thought I'd be the better choice."
"ARE YOU FOR REAL?!" I shouted beyond pissed. "I LITERALLY JUST TOLD YOU NO AND YOU NOT ONLY ASKED AGAIN BUT INSULTED MY BOYFRIEND!! CAN YOU NOT TAKE THE HINT!" I shouted at him I was seriously getting fed up with how everyone treated them and I was already angry with the Bella situation. "I suggest you leave Newton!" Jasper snarled. "Anna has told you no twice now! And she is going with me! Now leave!"
"I wasn't talking to you Hale." Mike spat. "I was talking to Annalyssa."
"And she's already told you no." Dean contradicted a growl forming in his throat. "I suggest you leave before we make you!" Before anymore could be said Mr Molina's voice called across the car park. "Come on guys! On the bus! Green is what? Good! Now on the bus!" He shouted. Jasper and I along with Dean and Alice bid Rose and Emmett bye as we barged past Mike heading towards Mr Molina handing our permission slips in and got on the first bus Edward trailing behind. Emmett and Rose had to stay at school as they're Seniors and the rest of us are Juniors. "Calm down now love." Jasper said pulling me onto his lap sliding into my seat by the window so my feet could rest on his seat. "He's on the other bus now. We won't let him near you Lyssa." Dean said turning around to look at us and ruffling my hair.
"Dean!" I cried making them laugh as I blew my long hair out of my face. Alice smiled handing me a brush she just pulled out of her bag. "Thanks Alice." I said after handing her back the brush. "Why are you staring at me Edward?" I asked feeling his eyes on me from behind us as I snuggled into Jasper resting my head on the crook of his neck kissing where his pulse point would be making him groan softly pulling me closer to him. I giggled seeing the red lipstick on his neck, shifting to get comfortable I made Jasper groan again. "Sorry babe I was trying to get comfortable." I apologised.
"I know darling it's okay." Jasper said kissing the top of my head. "Edward knock it off!" Jasper growled lowly still feeling his eyes on us. As yet again we received no answer to his staring.

"How about we go on a date night tonight darling?" Jasper asked his arms around me as we walked through the Greenhouse looking at the flowers. "I'd love that Jazz." I smiled happily looking away from the rose I was looking at and up at my amazing boyfriend. "Good." Jasper smiled kissing me softly we pulled back and left the greenhouse making our way back to the bus Alice and Dean in front of us and Bella and Edward arguing a little way behind us. "He's going to make her more curious if he keeps that up." I stated looking behind us at Edward and Bella.
"I know, but don't worry about it now darling." Jasper said as we got on the bus ignoring the argument outside.
***
Later that night I was getting ready to go to the cinema with Jasper we were going to watch the Avengers movie: End Game. I was not ready for this; not at all. I was dressed in a green dress with white polka dots, white ballet flats and my black leather jacket. As I was just finishing straightening my hair I heard the doorbell ring. "Anna! Jasper's here!" Dad shouted up the stairs.
"Coming!" I shouted back turning off the straighteners and unplugging them leaving them on top of my vanity table to cool down. "You look beautiful my love." Jasper said kissing my cheek as he and dad greeted me at the stairs.
"Don't be back too late as you have school tomorrow but have a good time." Dad said kissing my head as Jasper and I left.
The movie was brilliant and sad at the same time, I cried a lot when Tony died. I really was not prepared for that. But I had an amazing time with Jasper we cuddled as we watched the movie eating a small box of sweet popcorn; well I was. Afterwards Jasper took me to this cute little diner in Port Angeles and I ordered a cheese burger with a vanilla milkshake and the milkshake was to die for. I love these little moments with Jasper he treats me like I'm the centre of his world and we just love spending time together, but now I was exhausted I fell asleep on the way home and don't even remember getting into bed. Dad must've let Jasper bring me upstairs to bed.
***
After our date on Monday the week just seemed to fly by and I can't believe it's now Friday though I'm glad it is as I'm exhausted and want nothing more than to go home to bed. Being nearly eight months is really taking its toll on me and I can't believe Bella and I have been here for nearly two months it doesn't feel like it and on Monday it's the 1st of March; my eight month mark. I know Bella is getting even more curious about the Cullens and I'm sure she'll figure it out soon.
At lunch I was sitting in between Jasper and Dean eating my chicken salad I had made last night, rolling my eyes at Edward who came back with a scowl on his face no doubt from talking to Bella. "Hey Annalyssa." Angela asked as she came up to our table blushing as everyone stared at her. "Hey Angela, are you okay?" I asked politely turning to face her.
"I'm okay thank you." She smiled. "I was wondering if you wanted to come to La Push with us tomorrow?" Angela asked nervously. I smiled happily actually glad I was invited even if not by my own sister. "Thanks Angela, but I was already going there. I go there every weekend I practically grew up there." I laughed. "But, I might see you there though."
"Okay great I'll see you there." Angela smiled happily saying goodbye to everyone and headed back to her table.
"What?" I asked when I noticed Edward staring at me.
"You're going there and Jasper let's you? What do you mean you grew up there?" Edward sneered.
"Okay that's it." I said slamming my fork on to the table out of the corner of my eye I noticed Emmett smirking. "Stop trying to cause a wedge between me and Jasper for one. For two; I go there because they're my friends and I have been going there with my dad since I was little as he's known them for thirty years.
For three; Jasper doesn't stop me nor would he try as he knows I've been friends with them since I was three years old and he would never dictate what I do or who I can see. And for four; I know they are wolf shifters as uncle Billy told me so I would know what to look for when the guys turned so I knew to keep my distance if I noticed them losing control. They filled me in on their legends of the tribe as I'm always there and because they see me as a sister or niece. So, stop with the crap because I've had enough!" I ranted at Edward having enough of his bullshit. Emmett laughed so loud everyone stared at us.
"You seriously got told." He said through his laughter making me smile as I continued eating my salad. Edward looked around the table seeing if anyone would come to his defence but when no one did he stormed off like a petulant child. "I love you." Jasper said still chuckling as he slung his arm over the back of my chair kissing my temple.

"Hi uncle Harry. Are you okay? How's auntie Sue?" I greeted pecking his cheek after I climbed into his truck the next day on Saturday. "Hello Anna, Sue and I are good thank you. Are you alright?" Harry asked as we set off back to the Rez, Bella was getting picked up later by her friends. "I'm okay just want Willow to hurry up and come now." I said causing us both to laugh. "Where's Seth and Leah?" I asked after a few minutes.
"They're helping Sue with the shopping. She misses you." Harry said as we pulled into his drive.
"I miss her too. I'll be sure to see her when they get back." I said climbing out the truck. "Thank you for picking me up Harry."
"You know it's no bother Anna and Sue would love that." Harry assured as he went to open his front door.
"Anna!" A voice shouted from behind us. Turning around we saw Jake, Quil and Embry running up to me. "I'll see you later then Anna." Harry laughed. "Boys make sure you look after her." He said sternly.
"We will don't worry." Jake assured as we waved goodbye to Harry. We set off walking around the Rez saying hello to everyone and laughing with the boys as Jake and Quil wrestled with each other.
"Yes!" I cried happily when Jake won. "Pay up Embry." I laughed as he grumbled handing over $10 smiling I put them into my purse. As we headed to First Beach, I noticed I haven't seen Paul and Jared. "Where are Paul and Jared?" I asked Embry and Quil as Jake talked to Bella.
"They've joined Sam's gang." Quil said after a moment I nodded realising what he meant.
"Hey!" I shouted realising what Bella's friends and Embry were talking about chucking a stone at Mike and flicking Embry on the temple when he agreed they were freaks. "Sorry Anna." Embry apologised only to tell Bella they don't come here making her more curious. "What?" Embry asked seeing the glare I was sending him. "She's going to bug Jake now about the Tribe histories and you know he can't say no to her!" I said sternly.
"Oh shit!" Embry muttered paling when he realised how much trouble he and Jake would be in now. "Come on let's head back I want to see Sue, Seth and Leah." I sighed shaking my head at their foolishness as Embry, Quil and I walked back to the Rez.
"Lyssa!" Seth shouted jumping out of his Mum's car seeing me walk up to them with Embry and Quil pulling me into a hug. "Hey Seth."
"Hi Leah. Hi Sue." I greeted hugging them as my teeth chattered from the cold.
"Come inside and warm up I'll get you some hot chocolate." Sue said looking me over in a motherly way, much like Esme did. Something I didn't get from my own mother, she wanted more to be friends I think. "Thank you Sue." I said gratefully cradling the hot chocolate in my cold hands. On the way home I told Harry what had happened between Embry, Jake and Bella. How she pressured and used Jake into telling him what the Cullens were even though she wasn't a mate to Edward. He promised he would speak to Billy and the boys as we bid each other goodbye.

The following day, Monday brought three things with it as my alarm went off. The first being school, the second; my eight month mark, meaning one more month until I meet my baby. And the third; sun. It was the sunniest and warmest day that Forks had so far, normally it would show that spring was definitely here but not here in Forks. It was a rare sunny day and at lunch everyone was showing a lot more skin then usual as they sunbathed soaking up the sun. Which meant unfortunately, Jasper and the others weren't here though that didn't stop Jasper constantly texting me which I didn't mind considering I had to spend the day with Bella and her friends. "They're not here." I told Bella as she constantly looked for Edward.
"When the weather is nice the Cullens disappear." Jessica told her.
"What they just ditch?" Bella asked shocked.
"No." Jessica replied. "Dr and Mrs. Cullen yank 'em out for camping and stuff. I tried that on my parents once. Not even close." I groaned inwardly as I could see the gears working around in Bella's head but luckily Angela came running up to us telling us she took control and is now going to prom with Eric. "Are you sure you two have to go out of town the day of prom?" Angela asked us. I looked at Bella confused before seeing the look on her face and realised it was a cover.
"She's got this thing but I'm going with Jasper." I told them making Angela squeal happily demanding I come with her and Jessica dress shopping tonight to find my dress and to help them. Not long after that Bella asked to come dress shopping and I knew immediately she was up to something.
As soon as school finished we headed straight to Port Angeles following Jessica and Angela to the little boutique they knew. "Won't the dress you get will either won't fit or it'll be too big for you?" Jessica asked with a slight sneer to her voice as she was back to trying on the first dress she'd tried on. A pink halter neck dress that left nothing to the imagination. "This dress makes my boobs look good. Bella, what do you think?" Jessica asked. Angela and I stood glaring at Jessica for her comment towards me. I was trying to keep my cool towards her and Bella but it was becoming exceedingly difficult.
Whereas, Angela seemed rather shocked at her friend. Before I lost my temper there was suddenly a loud knock on the window. The four of us startled as a group of men were whistling and jeering at us and I was suddenly brought back to that day. I jumped out of my skin letting out a scream when I felt someone grab my arm, who turned out to be Angela. "Sorry." I muttered.
My phone suddenly vibrated and I saw I got a tex from one of my best friends, Amelia.
Amelia: Hey girl, found you the perfect dress for prom. I'll send u a pic hope ur okay we miss you xxx
Amelia: sent picture
Annalyssa: Hey Hun, I'm miss you all so much too. And that dress is amazing thank you I'll send you my PayPal details luv you guys xxx
Annalyssa: sent details.
"Well Jessica for your information the dress will fit me but it's none of your business either way! One of my friends just found me a dress so I'll just leave you to it and go with Bella who is a danger magnet. Angela, the lavender one looks good on you." I said and ran out of the shop quickly catching up with Bella, not that she was happy to see me. As we entered the Thunderbird and Whale shop run by Emily's dad I spoke to him for a bit catching up, while Bella was looking for a book she wanted. "Why do you want a book on Tribal histories?" I asked concerned as Bella brought it up to the counter.
"Because Jacob got me interested in it okay?" Bella snapped causing John to frown at her behaviour. "It's fine. See you later John give my love to everyone." I assured as I followed after Bella again noticing she was heading into an alleyway I called after her. "Bella. Bella. Bella!" I shouted finally catching up to her and grabbing her arm.
"What!" She snapped pulling her arm out of my grip. "Okay. What is your problem I'm trying to stop you from going further down this alleyway as it's not the right way!" I snapped fed up with her. "Well I don't need your help okay!" She snapped storming off like a child. I knew better than to leave her alone as it was getting dark and followed after her and heard someone following us, I quickly looked behind and saw some of the men who were outside the shop.
I grabbed Bella's arm pulling her out of the alleyway and into an empty car park ignoring her shouts to go away until she heard the men shouting comments at us herself and shut up. As soon as we entered the car park I saw the other half of the men and knew that they had planned this, we were cornered. "Saw you two in the shop." One of them called out.
"Look at her! The redhead, she's a beauty! So's the other one, the brunette!" Another one called as the six of them were cornering us.
"Go away!" I shouted at them I was starting to panic again and this was not a good time, not at all.
"Don't be like that love! Come have some fun!" The leader of the group called now in touching distance of me.
"Go away!" I shouted kneeing him in the crotch making him double over in pain.
"Shouldn't have done that now your in for it!" Another one shouted as three of them grabbed me pulling me away from Bella who was starring at me in shock.
"Let me go!" I cried tears pouring from my eyes as I fought against them managing to scratch one of their faces. The one I scratched told the other two to hold me a nasty look on his face, but before he could do anything I heard two familiar cars come opposite ends of the car park. The silver Volvo stopped near Bella and Edward climbed out telling her to get in and she didn't even think twice or look at me.
"Get off her!" I heard a very familiar voice growl from behind me before the men were thrown off me.
"Jasper!" I sobbed falling into arms as soon as he wrapped them around me.
"I've got you darling. I've got you, are you okay?" Jasper asked as he helped me into his Impala and drove off. I flinched when I felt a hand on my leg and instantly regretted it as I realised it was Jasper. I hesitantly looked up at him tears still pouring down my face to see him smiling softly at me as he used one hand to wipe my tears away quickly before turning back towards the road. "I'm sorry Jasper I didn't mean to flinch from you I know you wouldn't hurt me it just brought back..." I trailed off not able to finish but Jasper didn't need me to.
"It's okay darling. I understand you don't have to apologise, my love. Are you alright? Did they hurt you?" Jasper asked concerned, I just realised his eyes are pitch black instead of the honey gold I've come to love. "No. I'm fine. Thank you Jasper. Can you take me home?" I asked trying to calm myself down. Jasper smiled softly at me and nodded his head heading towards my house.
The drive was rather quiet after that as I slowly calmed down and held Jasper's hand, it helped ground me so I didn't have a flashback again. "Wait something's happened?!" I said getting Jasper to stop as we were passing the police station and saw an ambulance outside and Carlisle's car pulling in. "Carlisle, what's happened? Is it my dad?" I asked concerned wondering if he'd been hurt. Carlisle stopped walking when he heard me shout waiting for Jasper and I to catch up to him. "No, your dad is upset but he's not injured." Carlisle said hesitantly. "I'm sorry Anna." Before he could continue I saw the ambulance doors open and they wheeled out a bed, a bed that held Waylon's dead body. "No!" I screamed tears pouring from my eyes as I went into the station, running to my dad ignoring Jasper's and Carlisle's calls.
"Dad!" I shouted running towards him as he stood there crying for his friend. But he looked away from the body to see me running towards him. "Anna! What are you doing here?" He asked concerned holding me tight to him as I cried. "Is...is it true...that?" I couldn't put it into worlds, putting it into words would make it real. I didn't want it to be real. Dad sighed kissing the top of my head holding me tight to him as we stood there crying together. "I'm sorry princess...he's gone." Dad whispered as I heard dad talking to Jasper and Carlisle when they entered but I ignored it all. Until dad pulled away from me. "Princess, Jasper is going take you home while...while I sort this out. He told me what happened while you were out tonight, I'm so sorry Anna.
He can stay but can either leave when I get home or stay on the sofa and I want you to try to eat when you get home, okay? I love you princess." Dad whispered kissing my temple.
"Love you too dad." I sniffled kissing his cheek.
"I'm trusting you Jasper don't make me regret it!" Dad warned.
"I won't sir, I promise." Jasper swore as we headed back to my house. Once we got home I only managed a bowl of cereal not feeling hungry whatsoever before I went to bed with Jasper, laying on his chest as I cried myself to sleep.
