"Hey Bells, I hear there's a new guy coming in today." Alice said to me as I walked up to her.
"Um. . . Alice, that doesn't surprise me. We work at a jail, and ther are dozens of crimes happening everyday." I said back.
"Well duh, Bella. I'm not that slow. But this guy's in cell thirteen."
Cell thirteen? Why does that ring a bell? Oh yeah . . .
"That's Emmett's cell!" I remembered.
My brother, Emmett, got into some trouble last year and ended up at the jail that I work at as a corrections officer, with my best friends Alice and Rosalie, who's also Emmet's girlfriend, by my side.
"Well duh, Bella. Sometimes you're just a little forgetful." Alice said, teasing me.
I wasn't just forgetful, I was lucky too. I got to watch over my brother's cell and not some cracked out weirdo. Although sometimes he can get on my last nerves.
"So you know what the new guy did?" I asked Alice as we walked up to Rosalie's desk. She's the secretary here.
"Yeah, I think he hotwired someone's car and drove off with it." Rosalie answered me.
"You know what his name is?" Alice asked her.
"Yeah I think it's like Edwin or something." she answered.
"Well I gotta go back to my post." I announced.
"Okay. See you later Bells. Say 'Hi' to Em for me please?" Rosalie asked.
"Of course," I chuckled.
"See yah Bells. You know you're lucky Jasper is head cheif here or you would hate going to your post." Alice said.
"I know. I better go warn Emmett about his new cell mate." I laughed.
This should be good. Jasper is my other older brother, which Alice happens to be dating. He and I have lived together ever since our parents got divorced, and we were old enough to get our own place. Emmett lived with us too, for awhile, until he had to go and get arrested. As I was walking to my post I spotted Mike Newton and began to walk faster. But it was too late, he had already spotted me.
"Hey Bella!" He called.
"Oh, hey Mike, sorry I'm late for my post." I told him.
"Oh, okay." I watched his face fall.
"I'll see you later." I told him and walked away.
When I reached cell thirteen I saw Emmett sleeping on his cot.
"Emmett!" I scream whispered.
He almsot fell off his cot, but woke up.
"Jeeeeeez Bella. What?" He said irritated.
"I have some important news." I said.
He just looked at me funny. "What about?"
"Well I just wanted to tell you that you're getting a cell mate!"
It took him a minute to process this.
"What?" He asked.
"Um. . . Emmett I know you heard me."
"Ugh! Why would Jasper do this to me?! I don't want a freaking cell mate!" he finally blew up.
"Oooh. I don't know. Maybe because everyone already has a cell mate and maybe you've had it too good for too long.. Now hush up. I think they're bringing him in soon." I told him.
As soon as I said this the door opened and Jasper and Alice were bringing someone in our direction. I couldn't see his face because he was hanging his head. Emmett looked at me and asked "Dude! Are you like a phsycic or something?"
Jasper, Alice and the stranger stopped in front of cell thirteen. Jasper came up to me and hugged me and asked "what's up sis?"
"Nothing much. Just talking to this idiot." I laughed.
Emmett just glared at me but then gave in and chuckled himself.
"Okay. Emmett this is your new cell mate. Edward this is Emmett. Emmett this is Edward." Jasper said.
So his name is Edward, not Edwin. Rosalie needs to get her facts striaght. I thought to myself.
"Edward, this is your corrections officer. Bella this is Edward. Edward this is Bella." Jasper introduced us.
Edward lifted his head to look at us, and his eyes widened. I guessed it was because he was taking in Emmett's size. He can be quite intimidating. But then i realized he was looking at me. He had the most beautiful, deepest emerald eyes. He has long messey bronze hair. And if I do say so myself, orange looked good on him. He shuffled his feet as Alice pushed him into the cell, breaking our eye contact. He sighed as Jasper shut the whining gate. Jasper and Alice turned on their heels, but not before Alice had time to wink at me, and walked away. I stood my ground making sure the 'new guy' didn't try anything funny. Then Edward sighed again and said a quite "Hey."
