Graduation

"WHEN WE WERE FIVE,
they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answers were things like astronaut, and president. Or in my case, princess. When we were ten, they asked again, and we answered - rock star, cowboy, or in my case, gold medalist. But now that we've grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how 'bout this? Who the hell knows?!"

"-This isn't the time to make hard and fast decisions. It's time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train, and get stuck somewhere, chill. Fall in love a lot," Genevieve looks at Jasper and sees him already smiling at her. She leaned forward and kissed him on the lips and said there, I love you's to each other.

"Major in philosophy because there's no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind. Then change it again because nothing is permanent. So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be. We won't have to guess. We'll know." Jessica ends her speech, and one by one, the students are called.

"Genevieve Stone."

She stands up and walks towards the stage and walks to the stairs towards the Principal and shakes her hand. She turns to face the crowd and lifts her Diploma cheers and loud howls erupt.

"That's my sister right there!" She hears her brother yell and a wolf whistle.

"That's my Girlfriend!" Then she heard Jasper yell, and she laughed and went down the stairs.

Then the ceremony finished, she searched for Jasper in the crowd of students, and suddenly, a pair of arms wrapped around her waist.

"Looking for someone, darling?" Jasper asks.

She hums and turns around to face him, and pecks his lips.

"Congratulations, my cowboy. We finished high school. Our next journey is College," She says to him with a bright smile.

"I can't wait to go to college with you," He says, pulling her toward Carlisle and Esme's direction.

"Congratulations! My kids are growing up," Esme greets them and hugs her four children.

"I think that stopped years ago," She points out then they all laugh.

"Come on, guys, we should begin to set up for the party!" Alice exclaims.

GENEVIEVE AND JASPER,
are in their shared room since Jasper still doesn't trust himself to be in a closed room filled with literal walking blood bags, not to mention sweaty and alcoholic teenagers are disgusting, so they stay in their room just enjoying each other's presence.

Until Alice decided to drag them down to enjoy the party, she reasoned that she did not throw this party just for them to be stuck in their bedroom.

As they got down the stairs, Alice suddenly stopped. Her eyes are dazed. She was having one of her visions. Greyson ran at a human pace to check on her mate, and they waited for her vision to end.

Her vision ended. She gasped loudly and blinked rapidly while Greyson held her in place.

"Alice, what did you see?" Bella approaches them.

"We need to talk to the others," Alice tells her. Then she pulls Greyson towards the office. Genevieve follows behind just to be stopped by a pup, Jacob, and his arm is blocking Genevieve's way

"Okay, something is going on. Tell me," Jacob demands her with a determined voice.

But she doesn't listen because she doesn't have time for his nonsense. She tries to walk past him, but he touches her shoulder, blocking her.

"Why don't you talk to me?" He asks her. Jasper growls lowly at the sudden contact.

"I suggest you remove your hand from my mate's shoulder, or I'll rip that to shreds," Jasper threatens him.

He removes his hand carefully and slowly backs away. They walk towards the room away from prying ears.

"The decision has been made," Alice announces to them.

"What's going on? You're not going to Seattle?" Bella asks.

"No. They're coming here," Alice tells them. Greyson holds her mate close to him.

"How long?" Edward asks.

"They'll be here in four days," Alice answers. "-I didn't see anyone I recognize. Maybe one," she continues.

"I know his face. He's local, Riley Biers. The shadows told Genevieve this," Edward says. "-He didn't start this," he continues.

"Whoever did is staying out of the action," Genevieve tells them. They nod in agreement.

"They must be playing with the blind spots in Alice's vision," Carlisle says. Jasper holds Genevieve's hand and sits them both down.

"Either way, the army is coming, and there aren't enough of us to protect the town," Jasper says to them.

"Hold up. What damn army?" Jacob demands.

"Newborns our kind,"
she answers him.

"What are they after?" A wolf asks.

"They were passing around Bella's scent, a red blouse," Alice answers him.

"They're after Bella?" He asks again.

"What the hell does that mean?" Jacob asks.

"It means wolf boy. They will be a fight. Lives lost. A bloodbath,"
Genevieve says to him with a smirk.

"Alright. We're in," Jacob says.

"No. You'll get yourselves killed, no way," Bella protests. Genevieve scoffs and rolls her eyes while crossing her arms.

"I wasn't asking for permission. Bella," Jacob says. Bella turns to Edward.

"Edward," Bella says while looking at her boyfriend.

"It means more protection for you," Edward tells her.

"Do you believe Sam will agree to an understanding?" Carlisle asks him.

"As long as we get to kill some vampires," Jacob answers.

"Jasper?" Carlisle turns to face them.

"They'll give us the numbers. And the newborns won't know they even exist. That'll give us an edge," he says with a stern nod.

"Carlisle, they will get hurt," Bella says.

"We'll all need some training. Fighting newborns requires knowledge that Jasper has. You're welcome to join us. Alright," Carlisle says.

"Name the time and place," Jacob says.

"Jake. You don't know what you're getting yourself into," Bella says. Genevieve's patience is in a thin line. She was tired of Bella's whining.

"Isabella, they are made to protect the town. If the newborn army is coming here in Forks, it means all the people who live here will be in danger, not just you. They are literally born to kill vampires, so stop whining. It's not your decision to make, and it's their Alpha's," Genevieve says with a harsh tone, then stands up and walks to their bedroom.

"She is right, you know. The world doesn't revolve around you," She hears a wolf say.

"I just want to sleep until all of this is over," she says, then lays on the bed. Jasper enters the bedroom, and he lies with her and pulls her towards his chest, and hugs her figure tightly.

"When you were gone, she still tried to persuade him not to join," Jasper tells her.

"Why must she make everything hard on us? Does she not trust us?" She questions him with a sigh.

"Don't worry about her anymore. Just relax and enjoy our time together."

"Fine," She says with a huff.

"Are you okay? I mean, arranging battle strategies again. It might bring back memories, and I just want to check up on you," she tells him while drawing circles on his chest.

"I'm perfectly fine, darlin'. Thank you for always checking up on me. I really appreciate it," he says to her while kissing the top of her head and pulling her close to him.

"It's my job as a mate to make sure you're okay. I'm always here for you my love," she says while looking at him straight in the eyes, which was filled with pure adoration and love.

"I love you, darlin'."

"I love you too, cowboy."
