OutTake Lucian Ira Cullen

Lucian Ira Cullen I stand outside, listening to the music echoing from inside the house. The party is a rager, or whatever they call it. I’m not really into it. I came to make sure my little brother doesn’t get himself into too much trouble. Mike is standing with me and his girl Katie. She’s good for my brother, and they’re going on the one year mark. He’s actually asked dad about promise rings. I can’t help but smirk at the idea of shopping with him and Dad; Mike is finally ready for something serious. My heart stops when I see Brandi. We’ve been together for two years. I knew that our fight a couple of days ago was going to be a hard one to come back from. But I really thought she would still be with me, love me like I love her. Instead, I see Vince sticking his tongue down her throat and her arms are wrapped around him. I don’t feel myself moving, but I hear the screaming. “Jesus, Lucian, stop, man, stop!” I feel Mike and Damon pull me off of Vince. Brandi st...

Chapter 23 Epilogue Six years Later I smile, looking in at my seventeen-year-old son sleeping with books scattered around him from studying too much. Lucian is going into his senior year with mounting college credits and the fact that he is the varsity football captain, varsity basketball captain, and is the star of the track team.

He’s going into his sophomore year as captain of the junior varsity football team, and he took up wrestling instead of basketball. He’s got a good grade point average, but he’s a jock all the way. Mike is the next door down. I peek at him and see his mom’s picture next to his bed. Mike and Lucian’s friendship only grew as they got older. When his parents divorced, and his mom passed away in a car accident, Mike begged to live with us. After many discussions, and Edward bribing Mike’s dad, he came to live w...

Chapter 22 BPOV Burgundy and gold drape the benches and the bows holding together the lilies for the bouquets we’re holding. Tanya is shifting her feet as Carlisle pats her hand that’s holding onto his arm. Carlisle was shocked when Tanya asked him to give her away. But once he heard her story, how her parents and Irina’s parents disowned them for being gay, he was proud to be the one to walk her down the aisle to Irina. I take a look at myself in the mirror; I’m wearing a burgundy dress with one strap and a gold sash around the waist, draping down the back of the dress. I have my hair just as Tanya asked, half up and in curls that frame my face. I turn around looking at my best friend, my sister. She’s wearing a mermaid style dress that is open in the back with gorgeous lace patterns. He hair is pinned up with just a few strands left out to frame her face. She’s the epitome of the saying, a blushing bride. Alice is in front of me, then Rose just befo...
