Chapter 2: Permission

            I drove to my new house alone as usual. I could always think better when no one is around. I could get some of the voices out of my mind.

            I was thinking about Adam and Ashley. Yuck.

            Ashley was so... different from Adam.

           For one, Adam wanted kids, Ashley hated kids.

           Second, she always wore too much make up.

           Third, Adam hated fakes, and Ashley was very fake.

           I didn't know much about her except that she always got spray tans and always wore huge amounts of makeu up.

            

           I parked my truck in the garage.

           "Hey," Edward was waiting for me in te garage.

           "Hey," I kissed him on the cheek and started to walk inside.

           "Happy it's going to be nice tomorrow?" Edward caught up with me quickly.

           "Extatic." I moaned.

           "What is it?" Edward pulled on my arm.

           "Adam! He... ugh..." I needed a cold shower.

           "Come on." Edward pulled me back to the truck and drove me to Adam's.

 

           "Edward? Evelyn?" Adam answered the door startled.

           "Yeah." I said. "I came to get some stuff out of my room that I left." I pushed past him and let Edward do the talking.

           "What is you want, Edward?" Adam said from down the stairs. I listened intentally.

           "Could we sit down?" Edward asked polietly.

           "Sure," Adam lead Edward into the family room.

           "Eighteen is the legal age," Edward paused to read Adam's mind, just as I did.

             No, don't be about moving to a different country!

             "to get married." Edward finished.

            "Mmm-hmm." Adam nodded.

            "And I would like," Pause. "to ask you," Pause. "if I can have the permission to ask Evelyn to marry me." Edward said softly.

             Thud.

            I ran down the stairs and was there, next to Adam, with in a second. He had passes out.

            "Nice." I complimented.

            "Is he OK? Should I call Carlisle?" Edward looked at me sorowful.

            "He'll be up in a minute." I said.

            Adam shortly woke up and I dashed up the steps to honestly get the few things I forgot.

            "Well, uh, hmm.." Adam cleared his throat.

            I grabbed my MP3 player and a few purses.

            "I guess?" Adam finally made up his mind. I nearly screamed.

            I walked into my old art studio and found hot pink luggage cases everywhere.

            "Stay calm." I whispered to myself.

             I grabbed my art portfolio, which had all of my paintings in it.  I had to search for my paints and brushes.

             "OK, I got everything." I lept down the stairs and announced.

             "They don't stay little for long." I heard Adam whisper.

             "We'll see you next weekend?" I looked at Adam.

             "Sure," Adam patted my back.

            Edward and I walked back to the truck.

             "We should probably get Alice to tape a fake purposal." I said.

             "Tomorrow, while we're in the woods." Edward backed up and drove back to the house.
