I never thought fairy tales were actually real. It's amazing how little things like that, can really change a life. My name is Riley and this is my story.
I was born into a world where my only escape were books. My father left me and my mother 16 years ago. I'm 21 now, I was 5 when my father left. At first, my mother and I were fine but as I got older, mother got sadder. I got a job when I was first 13, babysitting for my mothers friends. But as I got older, so did the kids and it came to the point where I wasn't needed any longer. Once I turned 15, I got a job elsewhere, part time. It gave us enough of what we needed to survive and when possible I got something small and nice from the change collected everywhere. I had relatives that sent me things every now and then, mostly a few new clothes and books.
Over the years I had collected numerous books, mostly ones that people didn't want anymore. I had numerous books on fairy tales and I never got bored of them. My favorite stories were the Little Mermaid and Cinderella. Cinderella reminded me of my family to some extent. We had no father, both dreamed about things that seem almost impossible to come true but we never gave up hope. Except I'm an only child and my mother isn't mean to me. Actually, she doesn't do much with me. It's hard for her to talk directly to me because I look so much like my dad. I got my brown hair and matching eyes from him. The only things I got from my mom were shortness and the fact that we're both partially shy.
I always dreamed about finding my 'prince' someday and I never thought that he would turn out to be someone I had very little chance of meeting. And it all happened just like a fairy tale.
I was walking back from my second job that I had to take up in order to help pay rent on the apartment. It was dark and dreary, not quite raining but, it seemed like it could at any second. The wind was blowing but, not harshly so it wouldn't blow my hood off. As I walked down the cold empty street, a sudden noise down a nearby ally way stopped me in my tracks. As much as wanted to just continue walking away, curiosity got the best of me and I fallowed it. The ally led me to a back street where I saw a man, maybe a few years older than me surrounded by 3 guys and they looked pissed.
"Look pal, you don't pass us unless you pay up! 100 bucks!!!" Someone demanded.
The stranger just looked at them like they were insane.
"Look, if I don't get pass then there's gonna be a lot of people who's gonna be looking for me." The man spoke.
I almost dropped dead. His georgeous british accent was enough to make anyone melt but, I couldn't help but feel like I've heard the voice from somewhere. However I couldn't pinpoint the who. Maybe if I saw his face....I didn't get much of a chance to think about it cause the three thugs advanced on the stranger. At first, he fought them back but it didn't take long before he was on the ground knocked out. Panicking I pulled out the gun I bought about a year back for protection. Walking foreward I held the gun up.
"HOLD IT!!"
The men looked up to meet me and when they saw my gun, they panicked.
"Oh god, please don't...we didn't know he was your boyfriend!!!"
They frantically backed away from the man and ran away as fast as their legs could carry them. I put the gun away and ran to the man's side. He hadn't moved since he fell but I checked his pulse and he was fine. I wasn't really sure what to do so I turned him over on his back and that's when I realized who he was.
"Oh my god..."
It was Robert Pattinson. I hadn't had a chance to see the new 'Twilight' movie but I remember seeing him in Harry Potter as Cedric Diggory and I have had a crush on him ever since. Hoping that someone would notice he's missing, I picked up his head and laid it on my lap. His hair tossed everywhere but he defenatly pulled it off. This scene reminded me of The Little Mermaid. When Ariel rescued Eric from the ship, they laid on the beach and she sang to him. It made me laugh inside so I did what Ariel did. I sang.
"What would I give, to live where you are.
What would I pay to stay here beside you.
What would I do to see you,
smiling at me.
Where would we walk?
Where would we run,
if we could stay all day in the sun
just you and me.
And I could be
Part of Your World."
I sang to him as I stroked his cheek softly. I could have sworn that his head moved inward and he smiled. His eyes slowly began to open, but I didn't have time to act. Voices rang through the dark, calling his name. Carefully, I lifted his head and set it down.
"Goodbye, my prince."
I said and I turned and ran. I ran all the way home, not looking back for anything. Mom didn't ask where I was since she was asleep. I crashed on the couch and fell asleep in an instant. The next morning, I awoke and saw mom watchin tv. A news segmant was on.
"In latest news, teen heart-throb Rob Pattinson was ambushed late last night and was knocked unconscious. When he came to, he remembers a woman's voice that soothed him but when was finally able to open his eyes, she was gone. But all hope is not lost. The mystery girl left behind something and anyone who identifies the mystery gift, will become the wife to Rob. The only rule is that those who come foreward to claim the proposal must properly identify what was left behind. I'm Cary Tafkro..."
I couldn't believe it. It's like Cinderella all over again but I don't know what it is that I dropped last night. I checked my pockets and everything but I couldn't figure out what I dropped. Then my hands instinctivly went to my neck and felt nothing. I almost screamed ,my locket was gone. It was my great-grandmother's locket that I got when she died. Inside had a picture of her on one side and a pic of my father on the other. I had to get that locket back, no matter what. I went out and found where people were going to claim what they know was the gift. I stood in the line of raging girls for hours until it was my turn. Rob wasn't up there, but two gentlemen in black were. As I approached them they looked at me and asked not nicely who I was and what the gift was.
"My name is Riley Jones and I know I left behind a locket. A gold locket with a picture of red roses on it. When it's opened, on the left side you'll see a picture of an old woman in her late 70's wearing a black dress and a necklace of pearls. On the right is a man in his early thirties wearing a plaid shirt in colors of red, green, and yellow. Underneath the picture of the old woman has enitials R.E.J in cursive and underneath the picture of the man are the initials P.A.J. On the back of the locket says in cursive, "Live life to the fullest, angel". The old woman was my great-grandmother and the man is her grandson and my father, now can you please give me my locket?"
I asked. The two men just looked at me shocked. I guess that they didn't think that they would actually find the girl.
"Follow us."
NORMAL POV
The two men took Riley and led her inside the building. She seemed like she was walking for minutes on end until they came to a room. One of the men knocked on the door and that sexy accent that she recognized gave permission to enter. The men opened the door on the command and gently shoved Riley in and shut the door behind her.
"So, if your in this room then that means you're the one who saved my life."
Riley just stared gently at the man of her dreams before answering.
"Yes. I am."
Rob's face instantly lit up at the sound of her voice.
"I knew it. I recognized your voice."
He immediatly walked over to Riley and held out the locket.
"I believe this is yours."
Almost as soon as it hit her hand, Riley flew at Robert and hugged him, tears flowing from her eyes.
"Thank you. Thank you so much. I don't know what I would have done if I lost this."
Rob smiled warmly and took the locket from her and placed it around her neck.
"I'm glad I could return it to you. It fits you perfectly."
He cupped her chin lightly and looked deeply into her eyes before leaning in and kissing her.
"I believe I've found my princess."
"And I know I've found my prince."
And for some strange reason, she felt like she needed to finish the song she started, so she looked up at Rob and sang.
"I don't know when.
I don't know how.
But I know something's starting right now,
Watch and you'll see
Someday I'll be
Part of Your World."
Riley's fairy tale was just beginning.

On Cloud 9 ~Edward Cullen One-Shot~
How could this happen? What kind of monster am I? Did I do something to deserve this? Did I need to right some wrong from the past? Is this all even real? Am I dreaming? I never thought that anything thing like this could exist.
My name is Akane Yuritakara. It means Deep red, Lily treasure in Japanese. Or at least, that was the name I was born with. Now my name is Amaya Koneko which means Night rain Kitten. See, I was born in Japan even though I'm from America. My mom and dad moved there because of my dad's new job. Now I'm back over in the U.S. and I'm living in the small quiet town of Forks, Washington and it's been 103 years since I was born. Yeah I know that seems a little weird but I really look like a 17 year old girl with nothing out of the ordinary. My hair is dyed black but it looks like the color I was born with. My eyes were once blue but now they're a golden shade, like the shade of a lioness's fur coat. It's different enough that people often ask if I am wearing contacts. So I save everyone and myself the trouble and wear non-perscription contacts which make my eyes look like an Ultramarine blue. My skin tone isn't deathly pale but it's not a normal color either. Luckily, because I live in a pretty rainy state, I wear long sleeved clothes to make it seem like I want to keep warm all the time.
Now, I know what you're thinking. 'All these signs are the classic signs of being a vampire.' Well to be perfectly honest, that's only part of who I am now. See, 86 years ago I was still living in Japan. We had been studying the mythical creatures of Japanese mythology in school. I became very interested in nekomata's, two-tailed vampiric cats with sorcerer like abilities, as well as the ability to take human form. There were supposedly sacred lands behind the house where we lived and one day, curiosity got the best of me. I explored farther into the woods than I had ever gone before. There was a legend that a female nekomata lived back there and trespassing through her territory ment certain death. Now, I'm not superstitious or anything and the tale just seemed like a bunch of crap. So being the complete baka (idiot) that I am, I ventured into the woods.
"Hello?! Is there anything out there?!" I called that same sentence for over an hour and a half and I still got no reply. "I knew it. The legend is just a bunch of bullshit. There's no such thing as a-." I never did get to finish that sentence because my life ended at that moment. Something leapt out of the trees and attacked me, biting me in the neck right at the jugular. I was taken by such suprise that I failed to notice that I was bleeding to death. I was too focused on the woman in front of me.
She had long black hair that reached down to her lower back with silver streaks. She wore armor, though there wasn't much. Just enough to cover her womanliness so that nothing was showing, but she still looked a little slutty. There was a red cape-like piece that was attached to the armor just slightly above her ass that reached down to her ankles. She also had on arm and shoulder gauntlets with boots to match. All the pieces she wore were trimmed in gold. Though I wasn't sure if I should be thinking about the fact that she looked a little like a slut 'cause I had no idea who or what this woman was. She could be reading my mind and I would have no idea.
"So, you dare to trespass in my dominion even though you have heard of the legends?" Her voice seemed to make everything freeze in it's place, as if afraid to make any type of move that would upset her making her wrath fall upon them. I couldn't say anything in response. Mostly because I was bleeding directly from my neck. I was actually suprised that I wasn't dead yet. "Well my dear, since you have a hard time believing in such matters, you will have to experience them first hand. Instead of killing you like I should, I am going to teach you a lesson you will never forget." She waved her had and the wound on my neck disapeared and the bleeding stopped, but my body suddenly felt like it was on fire.
I cried out even though no one was around to hear me. For what seemed like an eternity, I screamed until my throat was searing in pain too. The pain became so inbearable that I passed out. When I finally came to, the woman was gone and it was day. It was night when I passed out. So I knew that at least 1 day had gone by. Slowly, I stood up so that I wouldn't pass out again from getting dizzy. When I finally got to my feet, I heard a calm brook, which was weird 'cause I didn't hear anything when I first met that woman. 'Who was that woman? And what did she mean by teach me a lesson?' I thought as I fallowed the sound of the brook to where it was.
It was farther away than I thought it was and I was really amazed at how I could have heard it. When I reached down to get a drink, I almost screamed again. When I looked at my reflection I didn't expect to see what I saw. My hair was the same but my eyes and my complection are what scared me shitless. My eyes weren't blue like I was born with, instead they were golden and my skin was paler than it normally was, but not so much that it made me look like a ghost. "What am I?" I asked no one in particular, so I wasn't expecting an answer. But someone did answer. "A vampire. Well, partially." I turned around to see the same woman from before staring at me.
I couldn't speak...'cause I couldn't believe what she told me. "I'm a vampire? But how...I...what...?" I couldn't put straight sentences together I was still in so much shock. "Actually, you're only half vampire. The other half of you is being a nekomata. Like me." "So I'm half vampire, half cat?" I asked her. "Correct. This is punishment for tresspassing. My name is Tarja. I am a Nekomata. It's been a week since your transformation and you have been declared dead. So I wouldn't go back home. You'll have to go and be on your own as well as discover things for yourself. I wish you luck. You'll need it." And with that, she dissapeared and I haven't seen or heard from her since.
So now I sit here in the cafeteria of Forks High reading "The Blood Countess". It's about Elizabeth Bathory, a Hungarian countess who was convicted of torturing and killing over 650 girls and women for their blood in belief that bathing in it, made her skin look younger. She thought she found the key to eternal life. I could only sit there and laugh at how stupid some people were. Trying to find ways to become immortal. Drinking from the Holy Grail, bathing in blood. I would say that it all sounds like a bunch of shit but the last time I said that, I ended up become a literal and true believer in things that seemengly don't exist.
The cafeteria was becoming crowded and then silenced for a few seconds as the Cullens walked in and took their usual table. The Cullens were all adopted by a doctor and his wife. None of the children where biological except the georgeous blonde Rosalie and the quiet Jasper. They were blood siblings. Their partners were thier adopted siblings. Rosalie was dating a huge boy named Emmet, who reminded me of a bear. and Jasper was dating the pixie-haired Alice. There was one Cullen who didn't have a partner. That was Edward, the one I had a crush on. Though I didn't openly show it like all the other girls in the school trying to get his attention.
I had always wondered why Edward didn't have someone like his 'siblings' did. I thought it strange but then again, who am I to question what is strange? I was kind of like the Cullens in a way. They didn't socialize with anyone outside of their family and neither did I, though I didn't have a family to socialize with. Everyone thought we were weird or freaks. Even if it did bother me, I didn't let it show. My reputation as being 'the girl who's just like the Cullens but isn't one of them" had started almost immediatly after joining the school. I never talked to them though and they never talked to me. I guess that's because they don't want anyone to figure out their secret. That they're vampires.
Yeah, I knew their secret. It wasn't that hard to figure out when I am part one. Alice seems to like looking at me a lot lately; I could see it out of the corner of my eye. She'd stare at me and then turn to the others. This time when she looked at me, she turned to Edward, who then looked at me. I was a little shocked at first but, then for some reason...he smiled. It was rare for Edward to smile let alone smile at someone who wasn't from his family. I couldn't help but smile back, which was rare for me as well.
By the time the day had ended, I couldn't get the picture of Edward smiling out of my head. As I approached my black jajuar with red and blue flame design I heard someone talk to me from behind. "Are you doing anything, Amaya?" I turned around to see Edward Cullen leaning against my car. "Uh not really, why?" I asked, not really knowing where this was going. "I want you to come back to my house and meet my family." Now I know he's joking so I joked back. "What? No dinner? No movie? Just straight to the parents huh?" But Edwards face retained it's seriousness. "I'm not kidding Amaya. I know that you know what we are and I think it's best for my family to hear it directly from you." I knew I was cornered and there was no way I could get out of it, so I had to give in. "Alright. But make sure Alice doesn't use me as a doll when we're done. She is defentaly the kind of girl who would love someone like me for a prop." And for the first time ever, I heard Edward laugh, truly laugh. "Alright. Deal. C'mon, you're riding with me." He led me to his silver volvo and opened to door for me, like a true gentlemen. I smiled and thanked him as he quickly got to the driver's side and started the car. We were out of the school's parking lot in a matter of seconds.
The ride to Edward's house was quiet and quick. We didn't really say anything as he speedily drove home which I didn't mind. I liked driving fast myself. When we reached the house, I couldn't help but guak at the georgeous house in front of me. It made my apartment look like a cardboard box for hobo's. Edward laughed at my reaction. "I know you like the house. But if you keep looking at it like that then your face is going to stay that way." I stopped and looked away feeling a blush creep across my cheeks. He took my hand and led me into the house where I couldn't help but let my jaw drop. DDDDAAAAAAMMMMMMNNNNNNN!!!!!! Georgeous on the outside and the inside. A brown haired woman came out from awoudn the corner. "Edward darling, there you are. And who is this young lady?" "Esme, can you get Carlisle down here? We need to talk." Esme didn't say anything. Instead she walked/glided away to find the one called Carlisle. When she found him, everyone had made their way into the living room. "Well Edward, what's going on?" "Carlisle, Esme. This is Amaya Koneko and I think you should listen to what she has to say." Suddenly, all eyes were on me. I was the center of attention, somewhere I really didn't want to be but, I had no choice.
"Well here, goes...I know that you all are vampires and before you say anything then maybe you should hear me out first." I opened my saddle bag and took out the container that held my contacts. I opened my eyes and took out the colored contacts. After putting them away, I stood again and looked the two vampire parents. When they made contact with my eyes I think they almost fell over in shock. "I suppose that I have a lot of explaining to do don't I?" I took the empty seat next to Edward and explain everything from beginning to end. There were no interruptions and when I finished, everything was quiet. It was kinda awkward. "Ok, I think I'm gonna go now." I went to stand up but, Edward pulled me back down. "Oh no. You're not goin' anywhere yet." The Cullen's eyes were still on me and it made me kinda uncomfortable and I think Edward noticed. "I think we should all stop staring at her and think about this." "Carlisle, don't you think that she would be better staying here with us? We have the extra bedroom that noone's using." Esme suggested. "Oh no, I couldn't possibly-" "Nonsence. Edward, Emmet. Go with her and get her things from her house."
Apparently I didn't have a say in the matter because in seconds, I was back in the volvo with Edward and Emmet was driving his jeep behind us. "I didn't mean for you to go to all this trouble for me. I didn't expect any of this to happen." I apologized, but Edward didn't seem to care. "No it's nothing. Trust me. We're all glad that you'll be joining us." We had arrived at my apartment and I felt a little ashamed that Edward had to see what my place looked like compared to where he lived. After I opened the door, Emmet immediatly began loading what little furnature I had into the jeep.
Edward and I went up to my bedroom and began packing what I had there which wasn't much. "Look Edward, about before. I'm sorry that I didn't tell-" But I was cut off but Edward. Or rather his lips. "Don't speak my little neko(cat)." He kissed me again only this time with more passion. I couldn't really believe what was happeneing. Edward Cullen was kissing me! My crush was kissing me! I thought I was on cloud 9 until a noise made him pull away. "Damn, I didn't think you were gonna go for it already man." Emmet was standing in the doorway with a smirk on his face. "While you two were goin at it, I got the living room and the kitchen ready to go." I turned away and blushed horribly. Emmet just laughed along with Edward. "Don't worry about it. I was always wondering what my new sister would be like." He rushed over to me and grabbed me in a great bear like hug, swinging me around. I laughed whole hartidly. Emmet put me back down and walked out the door. Edward turned back to me after shutting the door. "Now. Where were we?" he smirked as he grabbed me by my waist, pulling me close to him. "I don't know. How about here?" I leaned in and brought our puzzle of lips together where they fit perfectly. As my arms rested around his neck, he brought one of his hands to the middle of my back. I was back on cloud 9 and I never wanted to leave. And I had a feeling, neither did he.
My name is Akane Yuritakara. It means Deep red, Lily treasure in Japanese. Or at least, that was the name I was born with. Now my name is Amaya Koneko which means Night rain Kitten. See, I was born in Japan even though I'm from America. My mom and dad moved there because of my dad's new job.

She is defentaly the kind of girl who would love someone like me for a prop." And for the first time ever, I heard Edward laugh, truly laugh. "Alright. Deal. C'mon, you're riding with me." He led me to his silver volvo and opened to door for me, like a true gentlemen. I smiled and thanked him as he quickly got to the driver's side and started the car. We were out of the school's parking lot in a matter of seconds.
The ride to Edward's house was quiet and quick. We didn't really say anything as he speedily drove home which I didn't mind. I liked driving fast myself. When we reached the house, I couldn't help but guak at the georgeous house in front of me. It made my apartment look like a cardboard box for hobo's. Edward laughed at my reaction. "I know you like the house. But if you keep looking at it like that then your face is going to stay that way." I stopped and looked away feeling a blush creep across my cheeks. He took my hand and led me into the house where I couldn't help but let my jaw drop. DDDDAAAAAAMMMMMMNNNNNNN!!!!!! Georgeous on the outside and the inside. A brown haired woman came out from awoudn the corner. "Edward darling, there you are. And who is this young lady?" "Esme, can you get Carlisle down here? We need to talk." Esme didn't say anything. Instead she walked/glided away to find the one called Carlisle. When she found him, everyone had made their way into the living room. "Well Edward, what's going on?" "Carlisle, Esme. This is Amaya Koneko and I think you should listen to what she has to say." Suddenly, all eyes were on me. I was the center of attention, somewhere I really didn't want to be but, I had no choice.
"Well here, goes...I know that you all are vampires and before you say anything then maybe you should hear me out first." I opened my saddle bag and took out the container that held my contacts. I opened my eyes and took out the colored contacts. After putting them away, I stood again and looked the two vampire parents. When they made contact with my eyes I think they almost fell over in shock. "I suppose that I have a lot of explaining to do don't I?" I took the empty seat next to Edward and explain everything from beginning to end. There were no interruptions and when I finished, everything was quiet. It was kinda awkward. "Ok, I think I'm gonna go now." I went to stand up but, Edward pulled me back down. "Oh no. You're not goin' anywhere yet." The Cullen's eyes were still on me and it made me kinda uncomfortable and I think Edward noticed. "I think we should all stop staring at her and think about this." "Carlisle, don't you think that she would be better staying here with us? We have the extra bedroom that noone's using." Esme suggested. "Oh no, I couldn't possibly-" "Nonsence. Edward, Emmet. Go with her and get her things from her house."
Apparently I didn't have a say in the matter because in seconds, I was back in the volvo with Edward and Emmet was driving his jeep behind us. "I didn't mean for you to go to all this trouble for me. I didn't expect any of this to happen." I apologized, but Edward didn't seem to care. "No it's nothing. Trust me. We're all glad that you'll be joining us." We had arrived at my apartment and I felt a little ashamed that Edward had to see what my place looked like compared to where he lived. After I opened the door, Emmet immediatly began loading what little furnature I had into the jeep.
Edward and I went up to my bedroom and began packing what I had there which wasn't much. "Look Edward, about before. I'm sorry that I didn't tell-" But I was cut off but Edward. Or rather his lips. "Don't speak my little neko(cat)." He kissed me again only this time with more passion. I couldn't really believe what was happeneing. Edward Cullen was kissing me! My crush was kissing me! I thought I was on cloud 9 until a noise made him pull away. "Damn, I didn't think you were gonna go for it already man." Emmet was standing in the doorway with a smirk on his face. "While you two were goin at it, I got the living room and the kitchen ready to go." I turned away and blushed horribly. Emmet just laughed along with Edward. "Don't worry about it. I was always wondering what my new sister would be like." He rushed over to me and grabbed me in a great bear like hug, swinging me around. I laughed whole hartidly. Emmet put me back down and walked out the door. Edward turned back to me after shutting the door. "Now. Where were we?" he smirked as he grabbed me by my waist, pulling me close to him. "I don't know. How about here?" I leaned in and brought our puzzle of lips together where they fit perfectly. As my arms rested around his neck, he brought one of his hands to the middle of my back. I was back on cloud 9 and I never wanted to leave. And I had a feeling, neither did he.
~Zero to Hero~ **Robert Pattinson Oneshot**
I never thought that what happened to me would happen. My name is Savina. I'm an 18 year old college freshman in Dryden, New York. My friend Nicole had gotten tickets to the midnight premiere of "New Moon" and I was excited. I was a huge Twilight fan and an even bigger Edward Cullen/Robert Pattinson fan. My dorm walls were covered with pics of him. I even had a Twilight poster that had my face perfectly placed where Bella's face was. It made me look like I was the one playing Bella and it made me really excited. I had the same look on my face that Bella did which made it even better. The night of the premiere, I drank a lot of coffee loaded with sugar and cream(just how i like it) so that I'd stay awake. I wasn't going to be like my brother. He fell asleep in the theaters during Twilight's baseball scene. I definatly wasn't going to fall asleep during the movie. I was more afraid of falling asleep in the 1 hour wait before I could actually watch the movie. I wore a pair of my awesome jeans with sandeled black heels. I had been going nuts about what shirt I wanted to wear. I would either wear my shirt that said, 'Screw being a princess. I wanna be a vampire.' or 'I dreamed of Edward Cullen.' After a lot of thought, I decided to wear the princess/vampire T-shirt. I packed my wallet and a few books in my Edward totebag and stuck my Twilight pins on the bag. I would have all the pins but I won't get anything with Jacob or Bella on it. I personally don't like Bella. Jacob...eh. He's ok. I'm all for TEAM EDWARD though. As I was waiting for the movie with my friends, there was a bunch of screaming. Nicole tried to see over the crowd but, that didn't work so my other friend who came with us, Nikki, stood on my back. Now I maybe 5'5 but I'm defintaly strong and Nikki though she may be tall, weighed like 120lbs. At least that's what I thought.
"OH LOOK!! IT'S ROB PATTINSON THAT THEY'RE SCREAMING AT!!"
My eye's shot open and my mouth dropped. I mean, come on. What was a huge star like Robert Pattinson doing here in a small town in New York. I thought he was done shooting 'Remember Me' in NYC and would be finishing up 'Eclipse' in Vancouver. Nikki jumped off my back and Nicole grabbed my hand. Nicole liked Robert too but she and Nikki were more of TEAM JACOB people. Which I didn't mind. I was dragged into the crowd of screaming fans and I really didn't want to be there. The last thing that Rob needs is one more fan screaming his name. I felt bad for the guy. He couldn't really go anywhere without being fallowed or someone screaming his name. The closer Nicole pulled me to the front of the crowd, the more nervous I got. It got to the point where I was playing Tug of War with Nicole and my arm was the rope.
"Come on Savina!! This is a once in a life time opportuity!!"
I begged and pleaded to just let me go. Now I may be strong but Nicole was bigger than me and stronger than me. At one point, my jeans got caught on the heel of my shoes and I stumbled. Because I was using all my strength to keep from going towards Nicole and she was using all her strength to pull me towards her, I was flung like a frisbee through the crowd. I flew past people and I closed my eyed knowing that I was gonna hit something. However, what I landed on was something soft. I groaned and bit and opened my eyes. What I saw is probably going to be one of the biggest shocks of my entire life. I was laying on top of Robert Pattinson. He had one arm slung around my waist like he tried to catch me.
"Oh crap. I'm sorry."
I quickly stood up snd looked back into the crowd.
"Cripes Nicole!!! Next time, listen to me when I say that I don't wanna go to the front of a huge crowed!"
I shouted. Nicole and Nikki just looked at me like I was nuts. Actually a lot of the girls looked at me like that and who could blame them. Any girl would wanna have the opportunity to fall on Robert Pattinson.
"Are you alright?"
God, that British accent was enough to make me melt. I turned back around to face him. I tried the best that I could from having my face explode in embarrassment.
"Yeah I'm fine. I've had worse happen to me and I'm still in one piece. Sorry about falling on you thought. My friend just doesn't listen."
He smiled, showing me his pearl white teeth.
"It's fine. Really. I can't say that I was expecting it but it was actually amusing nonetheless."
I grabbed my Edward bag that I had dropped when I fell and turned the picture of Edward inward towards my body. I didn't exactly want Rob to see me as another crazed fan. Even if it was partly true.
"Well I think I should go before I get killed."
I said as I looked behind me.
"Wait, can I at least get your name?"
He asked.
"Savina. Savina Lauderant."
He reached out his hand and I shook it. We stared a bit but I had to look away cause if I didn't then I would have gotten dragged away by crazed fans or security.
"Bye."
I said as I looked into his eyes one last time before running and dissapearing into the crowd. I ran a few stores down from the theater. I couldn't go too far because the movie was gonna start in 28 minutes and I wanted to get a good seat. A few minutes later, Nicole and Nikki fallowed me. Nicole was the first to speak.
"Oh...my...god. I can't believe that you actually FELL on Rob Pattinson."
She sounded giddy like a school girl and I had to smile at her reaction.
"Yeah well....I'm still mad at you for not listening to me. Even thought now I'm glad you didn't. Still...that's not the way I wanted to meet someone. Especially Robert Pattinson."
The girls just laughed and sat with me while we waited. Nicole and Nikki wern't going to the same showing time as me. They're was 7 minutes earlier. There were like 10 theaters showing the movie, each one was showing the movie like 7 minutes after the other. We walked into the theater and got the tickets we pre-ordered. We said goodbye as we split up and I got into the theater early. There were a few vacant seats available in the middle which was perfect for me. I pulled out my book, "Vampires: The Occult Truth" and began reading it. I've read this book dozens of times but I never got bored of it. Vampires facinated me. End of story. I sat and watched the movie which lasted a few hours. I was pretty beat and tired. Thankfully, Nicole and Nikki let me crash on their couch since it was like 3 in the morning and I didn't want to wake my roommates. I was pretty beat in the morning but I made it to my class. For some reason, word had spread around that I fell on Rob. I don't know how it happened but in less than 24 hours, I was the hit news at my college. People were asking me questions and bombarding me trying to get answers. Now I really knew how people like Rob feel. I'm a literal example of someone who went from zero the hero in less than a day. Before that night, I was a C average student bent on being an art teacher for elementary kids. Now, I'm a student at a small college in a small town who got famous for being 'the girl who fell on the teenage heartthrob.' For 2 weeks, I was widely known. One day I sat in my room singing and watching tv. A weird combo but I only did it at the commercials. I was working on a painting for my 'little sister's' birthday. It was a week before but I wouldn't get to see her for another week. Having your house 3 hours away has it's setbacks which is why I lived on campus. So, as I was working I was getting slightly messy from the paint I heard a knock on my door. I groaned as I got up, putting the paintbrush in my mouth, figuring it was one of my roommates asking me a question. I opened the door and sure enough, my one roommates, Crystal, was standing there.
"Hey. There's someone here to see you."
She waved her hand to signal whoever was sitting in the living room to go to her. There standing in my doorway was Robert Pattinson. 'Oh shit.' I almost lost my grip on the paintbrush in my mouth. Frantically I pulled him into my room and shut the door hoping that he wasn't fallowed. He looked around and saw all my pics of him and the characters he played.
"Wow. Obsessed with me much?"
I took the brush out of my mouth and put it into a cup of water.
"Hey, when your all the way across the world in another country, with very little chance of actually meeting the person, this is the next best thing."
I contradicted. He sat down on my tiny twin bed with smirk. The room was barely big enough for 1 person.
"How did you find out where I lived?"
I asked as I tried picking up my mess a bit.
"Simple. I had a few people track your name. Which believe me wasn't easy, Genn."
'Damn it.'
"Why'd you give me a fake name?"
He asked with a slight tilt in his head like a puppy, oh...so cute.
"Actually it's a nickname I gave myself. For me if I don't go by Genn, it's either Savina or Kitty. Savina was the name of an empress who could control dragons on one of my favorite movies. Kitty was given to me by 2 girls when they were younger and as they got older they spread it around to their friends and it stuck. Even the adults started calling me Kitty."
I explained.
"How do you get Kitty from Genn?"
I looked away continuing to pick up my mess as if I was ignoring the question when there was a small meow from a cat in the room.
"Do you have a cat hidden in here?"
Rob asked, looking around. I laughed and turned to face him and made the same sound. He looked at me a little shocked.
"That was you? Wow. Now I see where Kitty comes from."
After I cleaned up a good portion of the mess I used some wipes in my room to clean the paint off from my arms.
"You missed a spot."
Rob pointed out. He took the wipe from my hands and wiped the remaining paint from my face that I missed. I giggled a bit cause it tickled and he laughed back.
"So what made you seek me out? Why look for me?"
"Well I was gonna ask you at the premier but..."
He was cut off cause my cell rang to the chorus of Disturbed's 'Inside the Fire'.
"Hang on."
I flipped open my phone and spoke.
"Hello....Hey AJ...Did you get me my cigarettes?...No?...What the hell?...I gave you the money to get 3 packs, where the hell did it go?....Again?!...Jesus Crist AJ, I can't trust you with money...Alright..You better have it for me on Monday...No...Whatever...Bye"
I hung up the phone in anger.
"Damn it."
"What happened?"
Rob asked.
"I gave one of my friends $20 to buy me 3 packs of cigarettes since I don't have a car to get me places. He went out and spent it all on condoms and drugs. Again."
I answered. I wasn't addicted to smoking, but now I really wanted one cause I was so pissed.
"I'm sorry, what were you saying before?"
"I was wondering if you wanted to get something to eat sometime?"
"Yeah, I'd love to. When did you have in mind?"
"Well now if you're free."
"Yeah. I'm done with classes till Monday so sure. Just let me change."
I was wearing black shorts and a spagettie strap black top. Robert kindly waited outside my room while I dressed into something more approporiate. One of my dress tops and jeans was fine. I brushed my hair, grabbed my purse and keys and headed out the door.
"Ok, I'm set."
I declared. Robert was sitting in the living room looking at a painting that was hanging in the living room. It was of a grey and white rose with the words 'Slaying the Dreamer' written at the top in fancy writing.
"Who painted this?"
He asked.
"I did."
I answered.
"You're talented."
He complimented.
"Crystal, I'm going out for a few hours. Text me if you need anything, tell that to Tori and Diana."
I hollered down the hall. She yelled ok back as I exited the door peaking out the door in caution. I did that 3 times as Rob and I went from my dorm room to where Rob parked his car. When we got inside and drove off, Rob started laughing.
"What's so funny?"
I asked not really sure what was so funny.
"Why were you peeking around every corner like a spy?"
"Cause ever since that night at the premiere, I've been bombarded by people. Now I really know how you feel. I went from zero to hero in less than 24 hours."
"Zero to hero?"
"Yeah. I went from someone who was never popular to the most talked about girl in school."
"Oh. So tell me more about you."
"Well, I'm 18 and no I don't care that you're older."
I said reading his mind.
"I'm going to school to be an art teacher for elementary kids. I've lived in New York my entire life. I live with my mom, dad, my two dogs Kira and Chesney, and little brother, though he defenatly doesn't look it. He's 4 years younger than me but he's bigger and taller than me. I'm the shortest person in my family and I hate it."
Rob just laughed at my expression.
"I noticed that you were doing a painting in your room for your little sister but you don't live with her?"
I sighed a little and smiled slightly.
"There are 2 people who I consider my sisters since I've never had one. My best friend Shelby who's just a year younger than me and my mom's best friend Katie's daughter. Her name is Lizzie and she's 5. Katie died in January at 32 for reasons people still don't know why. Lizzie wasn't her only kid but she was the youngest. She had 2 sons. Nick who's 14 and Ben who's 8. Last week was Lizzie's first birthday without me or her mom there. I've known Lizzie since she was born. I babysat her constantly since Ben and Nick had sports games. I helped raise her and so did my mom. I'm not the only one with a nickname that stuck. Mom met Katie when she was pregnant for Lizzie and Ben was learning how to speak. My mom's name in Pam but Ben couldn't really pronounce his's P's so when he said her name it came out as Hammy. When Lizzie started learning words, she started calling my mom Hammy. Now that's what my mom's called despite the fact that Ben can pronounce his P's now. The funny thing is, she can say Philly cause my dad's name is Phil. So when I say my little sister, I most likely refer to Lizzie."
Rob looked over at me sympathetically.
"I'm so sorry. That is truly horrible."
I shook my head and looked away.
"It's ok."
What I didn't realize was that we had been driving for 15 minutes.
"Uh...Rob where are we going?"
He looked a little uneasy.
"Well I was hoping that you would have come out today so I made reservations for 2 at Madeline's."
"Sounds perfect. I haven't been able to get out much cause I don't have my permit. My parent's rules, no money, no permit."
He pulled into the parking lot of the resturant and found a nice place in the back to park. He grabbed his trademark sunglasses and beanie and got out of the car. He was at my door before I could even open in.
"Such a gentlemen."
I commented as he took my hand and smiled.
"Well who could not be a gentlemen for such a beautiful girl."
"Plenty of people. Trust me."
We entered the resturant and approaced the front podium.
"Reservations for 2 under Lauderant."
Robert said, changing his voice. I smiled at his change and the waiter lead us to a table in the back where there was only on other elderly couple. We got handed our menu's and then he left. I looked over the menu and found what I wanted. And so did Rob as we laid down the menus.
"I assume that you already know what you want?"
He asked. I nodded my head.
"Yep."
The waiter came back a few minutes later.
"Are you ready to order?"
He asked looking at Rob first.
"I'll have a Jack Daniels."
He said pulling out his ID. I noticed that it was a fake. Sure he was 23 but he's a celebrity and I'm sure he didn't want to cause a commotion. The waiter handed him back his ID and then turned to me.
"I'll have a virgin pina colada."
I said. The waiter smiled and walked off to place our order.
"Virgin Pina Colafa huh?"
He asked with a smile.
"I love Pina Colada's. Once I turn 21 that's gonna be my first legal drink."
I said with a laugh, he joined in seconds later.
"So tell me more about you? I learned more about your family but what about you specifically other than your a Twilight fan."
I looked away blushing in embarrassment.
"I knew that was gonna come back to bite me someday. But it's not just you up there. There's Orlando Bloom when he plays Legolas in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and Will Turner in Pirates of the Carribbean trilogy and your old costar Daniel Radcliff."
He just laughed as I tried to defend myself but I think that I was just digging myself into an even bigger hole.
"Oh, ok. So I'm not the only celebrity you have pinned to the wall."
The waiter came back and asked if we were ready to order. Robert got Chicken Alfrado and I got Shrimp Alfrado.
"So what activities do you do beside's fantasize about us?"
He asked with another laugh.
"Well I paint obviously, I draw, write poetry, sing, write fanfics, do fandubs, play video games, read books."
He looked at me curiously as I took a few sips of my drink.
"Fandubs?"
"It's when you take a clip from a movie or show and substitute your voice for the actors/actrisses. I mostly do scene's from Disney movies. I've done songs from the scenes too. It's a lot of fun. I feel like I'm in a real movie sometimes."
"It sounds interesting. So if you sing, what kind of music do you listen to?"
"Different kinds of bands. Defiantly not rap. I hate it and don't know who in their right mind would like that crap. I prefer band like the older Nightwish when Tarja Turnen was the lead female. Not this Annette bitch or whatever the hell her name is. Lacuna Coil, Evanescence, Flyleaf, Within Temptation, Hammerfall, Bon Jovi. My list goes on for a while."
He just continued to stare at me while taking a drink. I had to wave my hand in front of his face to snap him out of his trance.
"Rob are you ok?"
I asked.
"Huh? Oh yeah. Sorry. I didn't mean to space out like that."
I just nodded it off.
"It's ok. Don't worry about it. I feel like I've been talking this whole time. Tell me more about you. I don't trust the tabloids cause all they write is a bunch of lies. I can't ever tell what's true and what isn't."
"Well I'm 23. I'm a musician, model, and actor. I lived in London with my parents Clare and Richard and my two older sisters Lizzie and Victoria but now I'm living in L.A. I play piano and the guitar. I did modeling for a little while when I was in my teen years but i prefer acting. My most famous roles had to obviously been Cedric Diggory and Edward Cullen?"
"Everyone's been saying how you have fans that are asking you to bite them. How do you deal with it?"
I asked sounding a little like a reporter.
"It's a little strange. But once I pass them, I'm fine. When's your birthday? Mine's May 13th."
He asked.
"Mine's May 5th."
His eyes widened at the sudden realization.
"Wow. You're only like 2 weeks away from mine. Interesting! Ok, I have a question or two about something kinda personal. Mind if I ask?"
I took another sip of my drink before nodding my head.
"Sure. Ask away. I got nothing to hide."
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
I looked away a bit.
"I did. Actually, he was my fiance. We met in January and got engaged in June after my graduation from High School. But he decided to end everything the day before my classes started. He was my first love. And the worst part of it, he goes to the same college and even lives in the same building as me."
Rob looked at me with sad eyes.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked."
"No. It's ok. Don't worry about it. I've moved on and I don't care for him anymore."
I told him. The waiter returned with our food which I was pretty happy about it cause I was hungry. We joked and laughed about different things and talked about some of our favorite things. We both like Jack Nicholson, our fav book from the Twilight series was New Moon, favorite sport is soccer, like the Exorcist, english as a favorite school sunject, love sleeping, reading and writing. We connected so much and it was so weird. My ex was the last person that I connected so much with. We finished dinner and Rob paid in cash so that he wouldn't have to worry about fraud or something big like that. He opened the door for me and we drove back to the campus. The sun was beginning to set as he parked in the back.
"C'mon. I wanna show you something."
I took his hand and led him across the parking lot and up a hill. I sat down on the hill and pointed out.
"This is one of the best places to see a sunset. I don't get to see things like this where I live. The skies aren't that dark so I can't really see many constalations."
I sighed. Rob sat down next to me and looked out. The sun was starting to turn the sky pinkie-purply colors with red's and oranges. It looked so pretty.
"It's so beautiful."
I whispered.
"Yes, you are."
My eyes widened as I turned to look at Rob. He was looking right at me and smiling.
"You are beautiful Genn. No matter who says what. I think you're beautiful."
He reached up his hand and cupped my chin lightly. We leaned in slowly and our lips met. I couldn't believe it. I was kissing Rob Pattinson in front of a sunset. I felt tears on my eyes as I closed them and kissed him back. He pulled away and placed his hand against my cheek, wiping the tears away with his thumb.
"What's wrong, love?"
"Nothing. I'm just really happy that's all. This has been one of most memorable days of my life."
I answered. This day was truly great and I didn't think that anything would ruin it. And nothing did. Rob leaned in and kissed me again, this time with more passion. I placed my hands on the back of his neck while he placed his free hand around my waist. He didn't deepen it further because he was respectful. After what seemed like forever we pulled away and looked toward the sunset. Rob laced his fingers with mine and pulled me towards him. I layed my head against his chest and he layed his head on mine. It was such the perfect moment. Which had to be broken in 1 word.
"Aw."
I looked to the right to see my ex standing there.
"What do you want? Can't you see I'm on a date?"
I asked. "I was just wondering who you were with, thats all."
I stood up and Rob fallowed suit our hands were still laced together. "Fine, you wanna know who I'm with. Alright."
I pointed to my ex,"Robert Edward Riss meet my new boyfriend Robert Thomas Pattinson."
Rob's jaw dropped when he heard my ex's name and Robert's mouth just dropped to the floor. He didn't say anything more. He just turned and ran back down the hill. Rob laughed more and more.
"So you're ex's name was Robert too?"
"Yeah. I made fun of him because he hated it when I called him my personal Edward cause of his middle name and he had the same name as the actor who played him. He hated it. It was so funny. Sorry about the whole calling you my boyfriend thing. I just had to do something to-"
Rob's finger over my lips caught me off.
"Don't worry about it. I'm glad to be called your boyfriend."
He removed his finger and replaced it with his lips and we shared another passionet kiss in the sunset.

Zero to hero just like that

"OH LOOK!! IT'S ROB PATTINSON THAT THEY'RE SCREAMING AT!!"
My eye's shot open and my mouth dropped. I mean, come on. What was a huge star like Robert Pattinson doing here in a small town in New York. I thought he was done shooting 'Remember Me' in NYC and would be finishing up 'Eclipse' in Vancouver. Nikki jumped off my back and Nicole grabbed my hand.

The closer Nicole pulled me to the front of the crowd, the more nervous I got. It got to the point where I was playing Tug of War with Nicole and my arm was the rope.
"Come on Savina!! This is a once in a life time opportuity!!"
I begged and pleaded to just let me go. Now I may be strong but Nicole was bigger than me and stronger than me. At one point, my jeans got caught on the heel of my shoes and I stumbled. Because I was using all my strength to keep from going towards Nicole and she was using all her strength to pull me towards her, I was flung like a frisbee through the crowd.

What I saw is probably going to be one of the biggest shocks of my entire life. I was laying on top of Robert Pattinson. He had one arm slung around my waist like he tried to catch me.
"Oh crap. I'm sorry."
I quickly stood up snd looked back into the crowd.
"Cripes Nicole!!! Next time, listen to me when I say that I don't wanna go to the front of a huge crowed!"
I shouted. Nicole and Nikki just looked at me like I was nuts. Actually a lot of the girls looked at me like that and who could blame them. Any girl would wanna have the opportunity to fall on Robert Pattinson.
"Are you alright?"
God, that British accent was enough to make me melt. I turned back around to face him. I tried the best that I could from having my face explode in embarrassment.
"Yeah I'm fine. I've had worse happen to me and I'm still in one piece. Sorry about falling on you thought. My friend just doesn't listen."
He smiled, showing me his pearl white teeth.
"It's fine. Really. I can't say that I was expecting it but it was actually amusing nonetheless."
I grabbed my Edward bag that I had dropped when I fell and turned the picture of Edward inward towards my body. I didn't exactly want Rob to see me as another crazed fan. Even if it was partly true.
"Well I think I should go before I get killed."
I said as I looked behind me.
"Wait, can I at least get your name?"
He asked.
"Savina. Savina Lauderant."
He reached out his hand and I shook it. We stared a bit but I had to look away cause if I didn't then I would have gotten dragged away by crazed fans or security.
"Bye."
I said as I looked into his eyes one last time before running and dissapearing into the crowd. I ran a few stores down from the theater. I couldn't go too far because the movie was gonna start in 28 minutes and I wanted to get a good seat. A few minutes later, Nicole and Nikki fallowed me. Nicole was the first to speak.
"Oh...my...god. I can't believe that you actually FELL on Rob Pattinson."
She sounded giddy like a school girl and I had to smile at her reaction.
"Yeah well....I'm still mad at you for not listening to me. Even thought now I'm glad you didn't. Still...that's not the way I wanted to meet someone. Especially Robert Pattinson."
The girls just laughed and sat with me while we waited. Nicole and Nikki wern't going to the same showing time as me. They're was 7 minutes earlier. There were like 10 theaters showing the movie, each one was showing the movie like 7 minutes after the other. We walked into the theater and got the tickets we pre-ordered. We said goodbye as we split up and I got into the theater early. There were a few vacant seats available in the middle which was perfect for me. I pulled out my book, "Vampires: The Occult Truth" and began reading it. I've read this book dozens of times but I never got bored of it. Vampires facinated me. End of story. I sat and watched the movie which lasted a few hours. I was pretty beat and tired. Thankfully, Nicole and Nikki let me crash on their couch since it was like 3 in the morning and I didn't want to wake my roommates. I was pretty beat in the morning but I made it to my class. For some reason, word had spread around that I fell on Rob. I don't know how it happened but in less than 24 hours, I was the hit news at my college. People were asking me questions and bombarding me trying to get answers. Now I really knew how people like Rob feel. I'm a literal example of someone who went from zero the hero in less than a day. Before that night, I was a C average student bent on being an art teacher for elementary kids. Now, I'm a student at a small college in a small town who got famous for being 'the girl who fell on the teenage heartthrob.' For 2 weeks, I was widely known. One day I sat in my room singing and watching tv. A weird combo but I only did it at the commercials. I was working on a painting for my 'little sister's' birthday. It was a week before but I wouldn't get to see her for another week. Having your house 3 hours away has it's setbacks which is why I lived on campus. So, as I was working I was getting slightly messy from the paint I heard a knock on my door. I groaned as I got up, putting the paintbrush in my mouth, figuring it was one of my roommates asking me a question. I opened the door and sure enough, my one roommates, Crystal, was standing there.
"Hey. There's someone here to see you."
She waved her hand to signal whoever was sitting in the living room to go to her. There standing in my doorway was Robert Pattinson. 'Oh shit.' I almost lost my grip on the paintbrush in my mouth. Frantically I pulled him into my room and shut the door hoping that he wasn't fallowed. He looked around and saw all my pics of him and the characters he played.
"Wow. Obsessed with me much?"
I took the brush out of my mouth and put it into a cup of water.
"Hey, when your all the way across the world in another country, with very little chance of actually meeting the person, this is the next best thing."
I contradicted. He sat down on my tiny twin bed with smirk. The room was barely big enough for 1 person.
"How did you find out where I lived?"
I asked as I tried picking up my mess a bit.
"Simple. I had a few people track your name. Which believe me wasn't easy, Genn."
'Damn it.'
"Why'd you give me a fake name?"
He asked with a slight tilt in his head like a puppy, oh...so cute.
"Actually it's a nickname I gave myself. For me if I don't go by Genn, it's either Savina or Kitty. Savina was the name of an empress who could control dragons on one of my favorite movies. Kitty was given to me by 2 girls when they were younger and as they got older they spread it around to their friends and it stuck. Even the adults started calling me Kitty."
I explained.
"How do you get Kitty from Genn?"
I looked away continuing to pick up my mess as if I was ignoring the question when there was a small meow from a cat in the room.
"Do you have a cat hidden in here?"
Rob asked, looking around. I laughed and turned to face him and made the same sound. He looked at me a little shocked.
"That was you? Wow. Now I see where Kitty comes from."
After I cleaned up a good portion of the mess I used some wipes in my room to clean the paint off from my arms.
"You missed a spot."
Rob pointed out. He took the wipe from my hands and wiped the remaining paint from my face that I missed. I giggled a bit cause it tickled and he laughed back.
"So what made you seek me out? Why look for me?"
"Well I was gonna ask you at the premier but..."
He was cut off cause my cell rang to the chorus of Disturbed's 'Inside the Fire'.
"Hang on."
I flipped open my phone and spoke.
"Hello....Hey AJ...Did you get me my cigarettes?...No?...What the hell?...I gave you the money to get 3 packs, where the hell did it go?....Again?!...Jesus Crist AJ, I can't trust you with money...Alright..You better have it for me on Monday...No...Whatever...Bye"
I hung up the phone in anger.
"Damn it."
"What happened?"
Rob asked.
"I gave one of my friends $20 to buy me 3 packs of cigarettes since I don't have a car to get me places. He went out and spent it all on condoms and drugs. Again."
I answered. I wasn't addicted to smoking, but now I really wanted one cause I was so pissed.
"I'm sorry, what were you saying before?"
"I was wondering if you wanted to get something to eat sometime?"
"Yeah, I'd love to. When did you have in mind?"
"Well now if you're free."
"Yeah. I'm done with classes till Monday so sure. Just let me change."
I was wearing black shorts and a spagettie strap black top. Robert kindly waited outside my room while I dressed into something more approporiate. One of my dress tops and jeans was fine. I brushed my hair, grabbed my purse and keys and headed out the door.
"Ok, I'm set."
I declared. Robert was sitting in the living room looking at a painting that was hanging in the living room. It was of a grey and white rose with the words 'Slaying the Dreamer' written at the top in fancy writing.
"Who painted this?"
He asked.
"I did."
I answered.
"You're talented."
He complimented.
"Crystal, I'm going out for a few hours. Text me if you need anything, tell that to Tori and Diana."
I hollered down the hall. She yelled ok back as I exited the door peaking out the door in caution. I did that 3 times as Rob and I went from my dorm room to where Rob parked his car. When we got inside and drove off, Rob started laughing.
"What's so funny?"
I asked not really sure what was so funny.
"Why were you peeking around every corner like a spy?"
"Cause ever since that night at the premiere, I've been bombarded by people. Now I really know how you feel. I went from zero to hero in less than 24 hours."
"Zero to hero?"
"Yeah. I went from someone who was never popular to the most talked about girl in school."
"Oh. So tell me more about you."
"Well, I'm 18 and no I don't care that you're older."
I said reading his mind.
"I'm going to school to be an art teacher for elementary kids. I've lived in New York my entire life. I live with my mom, dad, my two dogs Kira and Chesney, and little brother, though he defenatly doesn't look it. He's 4 years younger than me but he's bigger and taller than me. I'm the shortest person in my family and I hate it."
Rob just laughed at my expression.
"I noticed that you were doing a painting in your room for your little sister but you don't live with her?"
I sighed a little and smiled slightly.
"There are 2 people who I consider my sisters since I've never had one. My best friend Shelby who's just a year younger than me and my mom's best friend Katie's daughter. Her name is Lizzie and she's 5. Katie died in January at 32 for reasons people still don't know why. Lizzie wasn't her only kid but she was the youngest. She had 2 sons. Nick who's 14 and Ben who's 8. Last week was Lizzie's first birthday without me or her mom there. I've known Lizzie since she was born. I babysat her constantly since Ben and Nick had sports games. I helped raise her and so did my mom. I'm not the only one with a nickname that stuck. Mom met Katie when she was pregnant for Lizzie and Ben was learning how to speak. My mom's name in Pam but Ben couldn't really pronounce his's P's so when he said her name it came out as Hammy. When Lizzie started learning words, she started calling my mom Hammy. Now that's what my mom's called despite the fact that Ben can pronounce his P's now. The funny thing is, she can say Philly cause my dad's name is Phil. So when I say my little sister, I most likely refer to Lizzie."
Rob looked over at me sympathetically.
"I'm so sorry. That is truly horrible."
I shook my head and looked away.
"It's ok."
What I didn't realize was that we had been driving for 15 minutes.
"Uh...Rob where are we going?"
He looked a little uneasy.
"Well I was hoping that you would have come out today so I made reservations for 2 at Madeline's."
"Sounds perfect. I haven't been able to get out much cause I don't have my permit. My parent's rules, no money, no permit."
He pulled into the parking lot of the resturant and found a nice place in the back to park. He grabbed his trademark sunglasses and beanie and got out of the car. He was at my door before I could even open in.
"Such a gentlemen."
I commented as he took my hand and smiled.
"Well who could not be a gentlemen for such a beautiful girl."
"Plenty of people. Trust me."
We entered the resturant and approaced the front podium.
"Reservations for 2 under Lauderant."
Robert said, changing his voice. I smiled at his change and the waiter lead us to a table in the back where there was only on other elderly couple. We got handed our menu's and then he left. I looked over the menu and found what I wanted. And so did Rob as we laid down the menus.
"I assume that you already know what you want?"
He asked. I nodded my head.
"Yep."
The waiter came back a few minutes later.
"Are you ready to order?"
He asked looking at Rob first.
"I'll have a Jack Daniels."
He said pulling out his ID. I noticed that it was a fake. Sure he was 23 but he's a celebrity and I'm sure he didn't want to cause a commotion. The waiter handed him back his ID and then turned to me.
"I'll have a virgin pina colada."
I said. The waiter smiled and walked off to place our order.
"Virgin Pina Colafa huh?"
He asked with a smile.
"I love Pina Colada's. Once I turn 21 that's gonna be my first legal drink."
I said with a laugh, he joined in seconds later.
"So tell me more about you? I learned more about your family but what about you specifically other than your a Twilight fan."
I looked away blushing in embarrassment.
"I knew that was gonna come back to bite me someday. But it's not just you up there. There's Orlando Bloom when he plays Legolas in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and Will Turner in Pirates of the Carribbean trilogy and your old costar Daniel Radcliff."
He just laughed as I tried to defend myself but I think that I was just digging myself into an even bigger hole.
"Oh, ok. So I'm not the only celebrity you have pinned to the wall."
The waiter came back and asked if we were ready to order. Robert got Chicken Alfrado and I got Shrimp Alfrado.
"So what activities do you do beside's fantasize about us?"
He asked with another laugh.
"Well I paint obviously, I draw, write poetry, sing, write fanfics, do fandubs, play video games, read books."
He looked at me curiously as I took a few sips of my drink.
"Fandubs?"
"It's when you take a clip from a movie or show and substitute your voice for the actors/actrisses. I mostly do scene's from Disney movies. I've done songs from the scenes too. It's a lot of fun. I feel like I'm in a real movie sometimes."
"It sounds interesting. So if you sing, what kind of music do you listen to?"
"Different kinds of bands. Defiantly not rap. I hate it and don't know who in their right mind would like that crap. I prefer band like the older Nightwish when Tarja Turnen was the lead female. Not this Annette bitch or whatever the hell her name is. Lacuna Coil, Evanescence, Flyleaf, Within Temptation, Hammerfall, Bon Jovi. My list goes on for a while."
He just continued to stare at me while taking a drink. I had to wave my hand in front of his face to snap him out of his trance.
"Rob are you ok?"
I asked.
"Huh? Oh yeah. Sorry. I didn't mean to space out like that."
I just nodded it off.
"It's ok. Don't worry about it. I feel like I've been talking this whole time. Tell me more about you. I don't trust the tabloids cause all they write is a bunch of lies. I can't ever tell what's true and what isn't."
"Well I'm 23. I'm a musician, model, and actor. I lived in London with my parents Clare and Richard and my two older sisters Lizzie and Victoria but now I'm living in L.A. I play piano and the guitar. I did modeling for a little while when I was in my teen years but i prefer acting. My most famous roles had to obviously been Cedric Diggory and Edward Cullen?"
"Everyone's been saying how you have fans that are asking you to bite them. How do you deal with it?"
I asked sounding a little like a reporter.
"It's a little strange. But once I pass them, I'm fine. When's your birthday? Mine's May 13th."
He asked.
"Mine's May 5th."
His eyes widened at the sudden realization.
"Wow. You're only like 2 weeks away from mine. Interesting! Ok, I have a question or two about something kinda personal. Mind if I ask?"
I took another sip of my drink before nodding my head.
"Sure. Ask away. I got nothing to hide."
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
I looked away a bit.
"I did. Actually, he was my fiance. We met in January and got engaged in June after my graduation from High School. But he decided to end everything the day before my classes started. He was my first love. And the worst part of it, he goes to the same college and even lives in the same building as me."
Rob looked at me with sad eyes.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked."
"No. It's ok. Don't worry about it. I've moved on and I don't care for him anymore."
I told him. The waiter returned with our food which I was pretty happy about it cause I was hungry. We joked and laughed about different things and talked about some of our favorite things. We both like Jack Nicholson, our fav book from the Twilight series was New Moon, favorite sport is soccer, like the Exorcist, english as a favorite school sunject, love sleeping, reading and writing. We connected so much and it was so weird. My ex was the last person that I connected so much with. We finished dinner and Rob paid in cash so that he wouldn't have to worry about fraud or something big like that. He opened the door for me and we drove back to the campus. The sun was beginning to set as he parked in the back.
"C'mon. I wanna show you something."
I took his hand and led him across the parking lot and up a hill. I sat down on the hill and pointed out.
"This is one of the best places to see a sunset. I don't get to see things like this where I live. The skies aren't that dark so I can't really see many constalations."
I sighed. Rob sat down next to me and looked out. The sun was starting to turn the sky pinkie-purply colors with red's and oranges. It looked so pretty.
"It's so beautiful."
I whispered.
"Yes, you are."
My eyes widened as I turned to look at Rob. He was looking right at me and smiling.
"You are beautiful Genn. No matter who says what. I think you're beautiful."
He reached up his hand and cupped my chin lightly. We leaned in slowly and our lips met. I couldn't believe it. I was kissing Rob Pattinson in front of a sunset. I felt tears on my eyes as I closed them and kissed him back. He pulled away and placed his hand against my cheek, wiping the tears away with his thumb.
"What's wrong, love?"
"Nothing. I'm just really happy that's all. This has been one of most memorable days of my life."
I answered. This day was truly great and I didn't think that anything would ruin it. And nothing did. Rob leaned in and kissed me again, this time with more passion. I placed my hands on the back of his neck while he placed his free hand around my waist. He didn't deepen it further because he was respectful. After what seemed like forever we pulled away and looked toward the sunset. Rob laced his fingers with mine and pulled me towards him. I layed my head against his chest and he layed his head on mine. It was such the perfect moment. Which had to be broken in 1 word.
"Aw."
I looked to the right to see my ex standing there.
"What do you want? Can't you see I'm on a date?"
I asked. "I was just wondering who you were with, thats all."
I stood up and Rob fallowed suit our hands were still laced together. "Fine, you wanna know who I'm with. Alright."
I pointed to my ex,"Robert Edward Riss meet my new boyfriend Robert Thomas Pattinson."
Rob's jaw dropped when he heard my ex's name and Robert's mouth just dropped to the floor. He didn't say anything more. He just turned and ran back down the hill. Rob laughed more and more.
"So you're ex's name was Robert too?"
"Yeah. I made fun of him because he hated it when I called him my personal Edward cause of his middle name and he had the same name as the actor who played him. He hated it. It was so funny. Sorry about the whole calling you my boyfriend thing. I just had to do something to-"
Rob's finger over my lips caught me off.
"Don't worry about it. I'm glad to be called your boyfriend."
He removed his finger and replaced it with his lips and we shared another passionet kiss in the sunset.
Zero to hero in no time flat
Zero to hero just like that
