Tell Me What Your Name Is……
Edwards POV
"Edward!" My sister Alice called out as she jumped onto my queen size bed. She was only older than me by a few months, but the way she acted made it seem as though I was years older than her. "Waaaaake upppp!!"
My objections were muffled by the blanket covering my face.
"Whaaaaaat? I caaant hear yooouuu!" She ripped the blankets off of me, throwing them on the floor.
"I said GO AWAY!" I scoweled at her, shivering as the cold morning air reached my body.
She giggled as she waved away the air by her nose, "Dayum! Hahaha. Your breathe is stank!" She began cackling uncontrolably when she saw the face I gave her.
"How can someone possibly have sooo much energy so early in the morning? Whats your secret?" I asked jokingly.
"Oh ya know! Just a bump of speed when I wake up! Keeps the energy up!" She joked ,"Not really! And besides its not even early!" She announced as she danced over to the curtains that covered the one window in my room. "Seee! Sun……" she frowned when she saw the rain clouds forming "or rain." She reclosed the curtains.
" Not early!?" I looked at the clock to prove my point," Its only 10:12!"
"Exactly! Its not early at all!" She marched over to my iPOD dock sitting ontop of my dresser, pushing the play button on my iPOD.
Bad Romance by Lady Gaga filled the room.
"So get ready! Cuz we have alotta work to do for tonight!" she continued and began singing along with Lady Gaga.
"What the hell is there to set up for? Todays not anything special. So nothings happening tonight!" I asked bitterly as I walked towards the my bathroom.
She stopped dead in the middle of copying Lady Gaga's choreography, "What."
"I said wha-"
" No no. I heard you. I just….cant believe that you forgot that its new years eve!"
"Shut your mouth!" I nearly yelled as I stood in the doorway of the bathroom, "I totally forgot!"
"Oh really. Wow. Im so glad that you could solve that mystery with your amazing detective skills." She commented sarcastically.
I rolled my eyes as I fully entered the bathroom, turning on the shower, stripping, and then jumping in.
As the water rinsed over my body, I felt a sense of being content. I was free of all the things that had been haunting me. It was just me………and Lady Gaga ofcourse.
"Just then it came as a surprise, when I looked into your eyes. Never thought Id walk up to a guy, but here I go."
-Ciara
As I walked down the stairs of the house, my hands burried in the pockets of my Aeropostale hoodie, I began wondering why we had to begin preparing so early. But my thoughts were answered when I walked into the kitchen to see Rosalie, my sister in law, cooking.
"Look who finally decided to join in on the festivities!" Rosalie announced, not even looking in my direction.
I looked around the kitchen to see what she had decided to cook.
Too much. All four burners on the stove were being used to cook whatever was in the shiny silver pots. A turkey was being seasoned by Alice. Rosalie was mixing batter, for what I assumed was to be a cake. The only person that I didn't see helping was my older brother, Emmet.
"Rose why are you cooking so much food?" I asked as I walked over to where she stood.
"Well I invited some people over! Soooo I decided that I should cook! And so here I am!" She smiled at me, never taking a second to stop mixing the batter.
"How many people?" I asked, because if I know Rosalie Culled-Hale like I think I do, then this is just the beginning. There would be morefood.
"Two!" she sang happily as she finaly stopped mixing.
I looked at her with disbelief as she walked across the kitchen," two people?!"
"Yup yup!" she giggled as she pulled a silver cake tin out of a cupboard, "Well actualy its three people. Bella is inviting a friend of hers. How exciting!" she squeeked.
"Who is the other person?"
"Thaaaaat would be my new boy toy!" Alice chimmed in as she closed the oven, after placing the turkey inside.
"Ya know Alice, do ya ever think that the reason you cant keep a man is because you refer to them as boy toys?"
"That's impossible! I mean look at you! You've never called a man your boy toy and your single to! So ha! But that's enough about you Eddie! His name is Jasper and I expecting you to be nice! And NO EMBARRASING STORIES ROSE!" she shouted the last part for emphasis.
Rose giggled, "Now now! What kind of sister-in-law would I be if I did that? Hmm?"
Alice laughed, "An ordinary one. But don't lump with the rest! Be original!!"
They giggled. I couldn't help but smile when I saw how close they were. How all four of us were so close. Rosalie had been with us since me and Alice were kids. Emmet fell in love with her in high school, and vice versa. They married as soon as they graduated. I never really thought that high school sweethearts ever worked out, but they made it all seem so easy. In a way, Em and Rose are like mine and Alice's parents. They were there when ours were gone.
"Oh my goodness!" Rose exclaimed, pulling me out of my thoughts, "What could be taking Em so long with the music?" She questioned as she exited the kitchen and entered the living room.
"Three…two…one…" Alice counted down
"Push play! Now! Do it!" We heard Rose shout as soon as Alice finished counting.
" Im doing it! Nothings happe- oh." Emmet and Rose walked into the kitchen laughing.
"He-hahaha-forgot to turn it on!" she managed to say between laughs. Me and Alice then saw what was so funny and began laughing along with them.
"Okay okay! Enough! Lets just finish the cooking all right?" Emmets voice broke through the laughter.
Just as we began to work again, the music finaly began playing. It was "Frozen" by Tami Chynn. Rose and Alice began singing along.
"Another day another way to make me feel right! Im so dependent on your love im caught in your high!" Alice was good, but nothing compared to Rosalie. "Frozen Im frozen Im frozen Im frozen! Baby you know that im stuck on your love!"
Me and Em laughed at the duo. Then I turned to look at him and asked, "So what do yall need help with?"
"I don't wana waste your time, I just wana make you mine. Wana play with you all night. So tell me what your name is."

Jakes POV
I looked myself over in the mirror to make sure that I looked okay to go to dinner with Bella at the Cullen house.
My hair was spiked. Teeth were white. I wore a black long sleeve button up shirt, leaving the top two buttons undone with my sleeves rolled up to my elbows. I also wore a pair of jeans and black converse. I hope im not to dressed up….or what if im to casual? Well its too late now. Its already like 8:50….oh well.
I walked out of the bathroom, down the stairs and into the living room. There I saw my little sis Rebecca watching tv.
"You just missed Jennifer Lopez perform!" she informed
I smiled at her, "Aw what! Whatd she sing?" I plopped down onto the couch next to her to see the ball drop in New York.
"Louboutins, Waiting For Tonight, and Lets Get Loud! And on top of all that! She managed to stay off the floor!" she giggled
"Hey! Jenny made that shit look like it was part of her choreography!" we laughed then there was a knock at the door. As I answered it I saw Bella wearing her usual, jeans and, vans, and an old flannel with a jacket.
"Dang sexy! Who you trynna impress?" she joked when she saw me. We laughed and I kissed her on the cheek.
"Hey Bella!" Rebecca waved.
"Hey Becks!" she returned the greeting. She went and hugged her, "No plans tonight?"
"Nah. Cant be out there yellin up a storm! Itll mess up my vocals!"
"Why don't you come with me and Jake? Were just going to go hang with some close friends of mine."
"Oh I wouldn't wana intrude on your guys' plans."
"Whaaaat? Becks! Go get dressed! Youre coming with us." She ruffled Beckys long black hair.
"Okay!" She giggled as she jumped up excitedly to go change.
" Aww look who got a heart for christmas!" I joked with Bells.
"Whatever! Becks is like my lil sis too ya know!.....How is she doing?"
"Shes alright…..still shaken up. I don't think that she wants to accept the fact that hes gone."
"Hmm…..Im so sorry."
At The Cullen House……
"I hope its okay that I brought another friend with me." Bella said, making sure that it was okay that she brought Becky. It was kinda too late for that now. I mean we were already sitting at the dinner table.
"Oh Bella! Don't be ridiculous! Any friend of yours is always welcome here. Alice…..what happened to Jasper?"
"HE CANCELED!" She shouted. Mental not to self…..shes wayyyyy to energetic.
"Aww…..sorry to hear that. Anyways! Go see whats holding your brother up there!" Rosalie told Alice.
Alice left the room, to go up the stairs. Emmet and Rosalie began bringing out the trays of food. My eyes widened after they brought out tray after tray. Bowl after bowl.
"Do you guys need help?" I offered
"Oh no. Thanks for asking though. This is the last of it anyways." Emmet answered in his deep husky voice. He placed a cake, with chocolate frosting and strawberries on top, on the table.
Alice came bouncing back down the stairs, ya know for someone who just got stood up she was awfuly cheerful, and sat down with everyone else, except Rosalie who stood in front of her chair.
"Something wrong babe?" Emmet asked.
"Nope! Just thinking of how lucky I got! If Jasper woulda came then I don't think we woulda had enough food!" she giggled as she sat down and scooted forward.
"Rose are ya kidding?" A new voice joined the conversation. The voice was like inst-crack for my ears. I wanted to hear it again. It was like hearing a Lady Gaga song for the first time. Amazing.
When I saw the bronze haired boy who it belonged to….i was left breathless. He looked angelic. Pale skin, hazel eyes that pulled you in, and could peer into your soul if they wanted to. Then his lips, all plump and pink. He was pullin a Keri Hilson, turnin me on.
"Im sure that theres enough food. Theres so much we could feed Africa for years." He laughed as he sat down. The laugh was even sweeter than the voice.
"Well I don't know about everyone else here but Im starved, so without further distractions, lets eat!" Emmet announced and everyone began eating.
I couldn't help but stare at him while I ate. It was weird. Nobody had said his name, so hes like a stranger. But he gave me that butterfly feeling in my stomach. I bit my lip to keep the words, "Whats your name?" from escaping my mouth. Then his eyes met mine and the butterflies multiplied. Then he flashed me a smile, and the butterflies multiplied like bunnies. I didn't think the feeling would ever go away. I looked away as my jeans began getting increasingly tight. I felt his hazel eyes linger on.
"So Rebecca, you graduated high school last year? Rosalie asked
"Yeah, I was soooo excited!" she answered enthusiastically
"Oh that's great! I'm sure your parents were really proud!" Rosalie's eyebrows furrowed as she saw Becky's face drop, "Did I say something?
I squeezed Becky's hand underneath the table, "Our-uh well our dad, Billy, passed away two years ago. Our mom died giving birth to Becky." I explained and shifted my vision from Rosalie, to look at my dinner table eye candy. His eyes looked remorseful, full of grief and sadness.
"I'm so sorry" Rosalie and Emmet both apologized.
"It's fine. Don't even worry about it. You didn't know. It's cool" I smiled still squeezing Becky's hand.
"Sooooo….how about that Jennifer Lopez huh?" Bella asked trying to lighten the mood as well as try to kill the awkward silence.
"Oh my baby Jesus! I was going crazy when she was singing Waiting For Tonight!" Alice squealed.
"Riiiiiight!?" Becky finally smiled again as she spoke.
Everyone laughed, and the small talk continued smoothly throughout the rest of dinner.
"Two…one…HAPPY NEW YEAR!" we all screamed.
Rosalie opened her third bottle of wine, she was totally smashed. Emmet had stopped after the first bottle.
Bella and Alice began dancing to Just Dance by Lady Gaga. Soon Rosalie and Emmet were dancing to.
I noticed that the no name angel wasn't anywhere to be found. I was craving a piece of that chocolate cake that I saw earlier so I made my way to the kitchen.
"WOOOOOH! I LOVE THIZ ZONG!" Rosalie slurred as I entered the kitchen.
To my surprise he was there, eating a piece of the cake that I had been craving. He turned and smiled at me.
"Hey." He greeted.
"H-hey. Happy new year?" What the fuck? Why did I say it like I was asking a question? Ugh! Keep it together Jake.
He giggled a little bit, placing his slice of cake on a counter. "To early to tell if it's gonna be a good one or not. Your name is Jake right?"
"Well its Jacob, but my friends call me Jake….so yeah."
"So you're the one that Bella is always gushing about."
"Well that depends on what you've heard."
He giggled again, good. He keeps laughing.
"Well, if I remember correctly she said you were tall dark and handsome."
"Oh yeah, that's me." We laughed.
DAYUM JAKE! SMOOTH!
"Hey what're you gonna be doing tomorrow?....or well later. I keep forgetting its morning." He smiled.
"Don't trip, im probably gonna be doin it to. And im not doin anything later…why whats happening?"
"Well me and Bella were thinking about goin around town….maybe to the beach or something tomorrow….consider yourself invited." He smiled
"Well! Im honored. Sounds fun." I laughed a lil, still trying to play it cool.
"Coolness. Oh, gimmie your cell." As instructed, I handed it over to him.
He handed it back to me as he began leaving the kitchen, "C'mon. We should get that bottle away from Rose before she starts acting like she works at the Coyote Ugly Bar." He laughed as he walked out.
Before I rejoined the group, I looked at my screen. `Edward' was the highlighted contact. I smirked.
Edward huh?
