Chapter 17, The Game.

It was just beginning to drizzle when Edward turned on to my street.

Up until that moment, I had no doubt that he'd be staying with me while I spent a few interim hours in the real world.

And then I saw the black car, a weathered Ford, parked in Charlie's driveway, and heard Edward mutter something

unintelligible in a low harsh voice. I'm Vanessa Zoltan and I'm Julia

Urge and this is hot and bothered twilight in quarantine. Do you think that this unintelligible thing that he said quietly was a low oath?

Probably. I... was a low ode, probably.

Fck.

I still think he's always promising to protect her.

Okay, so do it.

What did he say?

I will protect you from the wherewalls.

Such a good way to start a chapter.

Do you want me to fill people in on what happens for the rest of this

exciting chapter?

I sure do.

Things happen in this chapter.

Yeah, let's see if I can cover it.

On your mark, get set, go.

Jacob and Jacob said Billy are at the house,

and then Billy goes inside and they have such a weird conversation that's basically like what's business my business your business everyone's business not yours. The whole conversation they go go play vampire baseball. It's really loud. They run around. They're really fast. They're really good at it. And then other vampires hear the baseball and come to play baseball and Edward is really worried that they're going to want to eat. The end.

I love the new song. I'm the business. You're really worried that they're going to want to eat Bella.
