DISCLAIMER: WOULD I BE WRITING THIS IF I OWNED TWILIGHT!?
Chapter 1 – RealisationOh yes. 3 days until my birthday. 3 days until I'm 18. 3 days until I'm free. I'm looking forward to having Charlie not boss me about. Not that he does much of it, but still. I can drink without parent's permission and I can go out when I want to and come back at 4am to Charlie who can't complain anymore.
But I have no idea why I'm celebrating this. About a week after my birthday, I'd have finished school then be heading off to University and leaving everyone behind.
I'll be leaving Charlie, my ever-reliable dad who's too stubborn to admit he wants me to stay. Every time we speak about it, he mopes and groans saying how bad the food will be when I go and that the house will be empty. I rolled my eyes at the thought. Stupid stubborn father of mine.
I know it's going to sound bad, but the worst part will be when I say goodbye to my second family. My second family consists of seven amazing people, all of them unique and different in their own way.
First there's Alice. If I didn't start with her she'd throw a fit, even though she doesn't know. I'd rather not push it, in case she does find out some weird and wonderful way. Anyway, Alice is the most energetic, bouncy; shop-a-holic you will ever meet in your life. She may be shorter than all of us but you do not want to annoy her or deny her anything. It will be the biggest thing you'll ever regret.
Second, there's Rose. Rose isn't the kind of person you'd place second for anything. Supermodels around the world would literally die for her looks. When I first met her, although I'm ashamed to admit it, I thought she was one of those slutty bitches who sleep with people to get what she wanted. Boy was I wrong. She's only ever slept with 2 people, and that's her first boyfriend and her second and current boyfriend who I'll tell you about later. She loves cars and getting dirty. (A/N: If you wanna make it a pun, you can if you want. I'll just call you sick minded :P) She's always on a 'diet' even though she doesn't need to get any skinnier. I mean she doesn't need to lose weight she needs to put on weight.
But still, Rose and Alice are my best friends who I've known since junior school. I tell them everything; well most things, and they tell me a lot of things. We help each other with our problems and always cheer each other up. No matter what has happened, we have always stuck together, until now that is.
Moving on, thirdly and fourthly there's Alice and Rose's long-term boyfriends, Jasper and Emmett. Both of them are lovely guys, but sometimes they can get on my nerves. And I mean really get on my nerves. Jasper, who is Alice's, is a tall, but strangely muscular, blonde haired history teacher. He is a few years older than Alice but it really makes no difference.
Emmett… where to start. He's big, he's scary but he is the most annoying teddy bear in the world. That's why Rose loves him, because he's just one giant teddy bear that can beat the shit out of anyone that hurts Rose. Rose absolutely loves being protected. And Emmett just does that.
Fifth and six are Carlisle and Esme, the two sane adults that keep this bunch together. Esme is the kindest person you will ever meet and she's so motherly and caring that you can't help but feel better when she's near. Her husband Carlisle is a prefect match for her as he also cares a lot for his children. Carlisle is a consultant at the local hospital that can always find time for his family. You could never meet a better pair of parents.
Then last but most definitely not least is Edward. He was and still is my saviour. If I had enough of Rose and Alice's torture, he'd let me hide out in his room, and if I just needed to break down, I would do so in his arms. I never cried in front of Rose and Alice. No matter how much they tried to make me, the only people I have ever cried in front of, were my mum and Edward.
Edward was my rock that I clung onto when bad things happened. We'd known each other before I met his sister Alice and then it went from there. But I knew if I really had to talk to someone, if I got too scared, I could call Edward and he'd be there in a matter of seconds.
At first I considered him as my big, over-protecting brother, but there's a small inkling inside of me saying it's something more. I don't know how many times I had denied this feeling but I knew it was going to burst soon whether I liked it or not. That was the one thing I didn't tell him, that I might love him. But I can't and I won't so that's over and done with. I think.
I can't leave all these wonderful people behind, not without a few tears and I was not going to do that. Well maybe in front of Edward but no one else. I need to be strong; I need to hide it away.
"Bella are you up? Edward's picking you up in 15 minutes, remember?"
Crap.
I had to choose this morning to daydream about my friends and totally forget about today. It was the last Tuesday of my school life ever and I was probably already late. God I'm thick.
"Yeah I'm up Ch- Dad." Why did I keep saying Charlie? Why?
I rubbed my eyes and made my way to the bathroom to get dressed and brush my teeth. I didn't have time for a shower. Typical.
"Bells! Hurry up he'll be here in a minute." For god sake, I know that!
I sped up a little more and was ready before the doorbell rang.
Wait. I need to backtrack.
Why the hell was my dad so persistent in getting me ready for Edward to pick me up? It can't be anything to do with Edward, they've known each other for years and been very good friends. Well they're on speaking terms and that's good enough. Unless something has happened between them, or Charlie wants me to get a boyfriend. It better not be that, I will get so pissed.
Or… Charlie wants me out of the house for something. I gasped. Did Charlie have a new girlfriend? I was frozen in the spot. Last time Charlie got a girlfriend; she abused me and made me her slave pretty much. It was only when Edward said something did he dump her. Ah, Edward. Once again, my savoir. I was forever grateful for him doing that.
But what if he did have a new girlfriend? Would she be nice or mean or mad? I hated surprises so much.
"Bells? Bella? Earth to Bella! Go get the door. Edwards here." Again with the persistency.
"Yeah, yeah I'm going already!" I rolled my eyes and went to the door. I opened it and saw my own god-like savoir standing before me with a crooked grin on his face. Another thing I wouldn't tell him, how I love that grin so much.
"Hello Bella. You look…" Edward tilted his head to one side and stared at me with a confused expression.
"Ugly, messy, a little bit crazy…" I started with a long list of bad things to describe myself with. I had a low self-esteem.
"No, you look perfect today. I mean you seem really annoyed or something." I blushed at his compliment, I hated that so much, then grabbed my bag and pulled him out of the doorway.
"I'll tell you when we're in the car." I murmured to Edward. "Bye dad. See you later." I yelled behind me, hoping that he didn't hear what I told Edward.
When I heard the door shut behind me, I slowed down and came to a stop by Edwards Volvo. I let out a huge sigh and turned round.
"Bella. I know that look, what's he done now?" Edwards face was filled with concern. I was surprised he wasn't tired of my constant complaining.
"It's just that he was so persistent in trying to get me out of the house today, I couldn't think of a better reason than he has a woman." As soon as I said this, his face darkened and he opened the passenger door for me.
"Get in and tell me what else is up." I thought Charlie was acting weirdly. I got in and Edward slammed the door. Yep, he was in a weird mood. Edward walked round the front of the car and got in the driver's side. He started the engine then accelerated from the driveway.
"Edward. I'm not telling you anything until you tell me what's got you in a mood." I pushed my own concerns away for now. Edward came first. What!? Since when did he come become first priority in my head? Uh-oh. Unwelcome emotions seeping through.
Edward turned to look at me, his unemotional mask plastered on his face. God I hated it when he did that.
"Nothing is wrong with me Bella. It's just that Charlie is nearly always the reason why you're upset. He treats you so badly, and doesn't always care what you think." He turned to look back at the road, his hands clenched tightly around the steering wheel. "No one should treat you that way."
That was new. I guess I'm not the only one trying to hide something.
"Edward, I'm used to it, it doesn't bother me anymore." Come on Bella. Be strong.
Edward let out a small sigh.
"Bella, it does. I can see it written all over your face. You should know by now not to hide anything from me, I've know you long enough to tell the truth and the lies apart."
I am such a book! And he is such a great reader, which doesn't help.
"Yeah well maybe I am lying. I just want to be strong for once. Not someone that has to rely on someone else all the time. I want to be the strong one, I want to be the one to help." I couldn't help the angry outburst. He should know what I'm like by now, as he already told me.
His soft, musical laughter filled the car at my outburst. Oh he's going to get it know.
"Oh Bella. How can you not know how strong you are? I mean, I've probably been the one that's needed help most of the time. You've always been strong, just in a different way."
Strong in my own way? Ha. Yeah right. I rolled my eyes and he laughed again. I involuntary sighed at his laugh. Not the kind of, 'fed up' sigh, the kind of 'he is so hot' sigh. Bugger. This was not happening.
Edward obviously noticed me sigh and looked at me in a way he hadn't done before. I stared back at him and in that moment, he was a completely different person. He looked so beautiful and handsome that it should be illegal. His eyes sparkled with excitement, and his lips, oh my god his lips.
Right at this moment, Edward didn't look like my lifelong friend; he looked like…someone I had fallen in love with.
Ha how'd you like that. It's like AWWW that they have finally realised they were meant to be after those like 18 years. Lol. Okay the nect chapter I'm hoping will be up soon. Life's been a wee bit hectic lately so I have no idea when I'll get time to write it. Oh and please review!! :D
