I don't own anything other than the things you don't recognize from the books or movies!
Where do I belong?
Forks high look exactly like I remember; it's so small against what Phoenix high is.
I park my car and make my way to the school office; an older woman is sitting behind a desk in front of a computer. I recognize her as Mrs. Cope, since it's a small town everyone practically knows who everyone is. And if your dad is the Chief of Police then people definitely knows who you are. I'm sure it won't take long until everyone knows I'm here and why.
"Excuse me, Mrs. Cope?" I try to get her attention.
She looks up and doesn't seem to recognize me, that isn't too hard to understand though since I haven't been here in a few years and I've changed a lot since then.
"Yes, dear?"
"I'm looking for my sister, Lily Swan?" My dad adopted Lily when she was younger when he and her mother Maggie met. Lily's dad was an asshole and took his shit and ran off as soon as he found out about Maggie's pregnancy.
Now she looks at me with recognition in her eyes.
"Oh, is that you Isabella? I didn't recognize you at first, you've grown up so much since the last time I saw you."
"Yes, it's me. I've just moved here and I wanted to surprise Lily, I'm wondering if you happen to know where she is and if it's okay for me to go to her."
"Oh yes of course, let me look.."
She starts clicking around on her computer, most likely looking through Lily's schedule.
"Lily has study hour right know and I think she's in the library so why don't you go there and look."
I thank her and go look for the library.
I find the library pretty easy; it's pretty big but also pretty empty except for a few people.
I see Lily almost immediately; she sits on her own at a table with a book in front of her.
I walk so I'm standing behind her and bend myself forward and whisper in her ear.
"Find anything interesting in there, dear sister of mine?"
She perks up and looks behind her and squeal of delight.
"Bella!"
She stands up and hugs me and asks me what I'm doing there.
We sit down and are quiet for a while until Lily gets impatient and ask me again.
"Bella, what are you doing here, mom and dad didn't tell me anything about you coming?"
"Well,, I kind of moved here sis, " I say and give her a small smile.
"Really!? Omg, that's awesome! But why, I mean, I thought you were going to finish school back in Phoenix, not here?"
"Yeah about that, I already finished, I took my GED"
"Oh, but why? Have something happened?" She looks a little worried now.
"Maybe,, nothing for you to worry about though" I tell her and try to smile at her so she would let it go, but no such luck.
"Tell me what happened! You promised dad and me and the others that you wouldn't get in more trouble and stay away from all that shit" She says and looks a little angry.
"First of all don't swear!" I try to continue talking but she interrupts me.
"You do!"
"Yeah but I'm fucked up, and you're not, you are a good girl, sweet and innocent and you should embrace that and keep it that way for as long as you can, because before you know it, it can be taken away from you and you will be just as fucked up as I am" I tell her with a hard glare.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think." She looks sorry know, she know how I feel about all that.
"It's okay, I just don't want you to become like me.." I say with a sad smile.
"Why not, I like you; you're a great person, a great sister!"
"No, I'm not. A great sister wouldn't do all the shit I've done, they would've been a good example for their younger's and I'm not, definitely not a good example for you. So instead of telling you not to do anything I wouldn't do, I'm telling you to not do anything I WOULD do.. Sounds good?" I say with a sneaky smile.
She laughs and tells me she understands and that she will listen.
"Good! Now, when do you finish here so I can take you with me and show you my new house?"
"I'm done soon, but wait, you bought a house!?"
"Yeah, I want my own space, you know how I am, and I will be here for a while so, yeah, it's easier with my own place." Lucky me I turned eighteen recently, unlucky me that's why I'm here in the first place, cause if I hadn't been eighteen I would not have gotten the punishment I did.
"Bella, what happened in phoenix that made you come here?" I know she won't give up, even though were not actually blood related we're both stubborn as hell.
I sigh and put my foot up on the table
"This is what happened" I tell her and grab the leg of my pants on my right leg and show her the electronic tagging on my leg.
"Omg, what the hell is that!? And why is it sitting on your leg!?" She practically squeals out
I explain to her what it is and she then ask me why I have it.
"I got in some trouble in Phoenix, I was at the underground fighting ring and was in the middle of a fight when the cops bust in and arrest me and several others. I got this on my leg and I am not allowed to go outside of Forks or this thing will start beeping and blinking red and the cops will be on me as flies are on cow shit."
"Bella, you promised" She says and looks a little sad.
God, I hate making her sad! I usually don't care much about anything or anyone, but this is my little sis…
"I know and I'm sorry. It was stupid of me to promise something like that when I knew I couldn't keep it."
"But why do you have to fight, why can't you just talk to someone about it instead?"
"Talk to someone, to whom, a therapist? I tried that remember, and it didn't work. I'm not going to sit there and listen to someone telling me they understand when they don't. The only thing they know is what they've read in their books or learnt in school." This is a subject I'm really sensitive about; I hate that stupid therapist who doesn't know shit!
"But you need to talk to someone, it can't be good keeping it inside of you all the time, I mean that thing on your foot is quite the evidence for that, don't you think?"
"When you find someone who's lost their virginity at 15, by five drunken assholes who raped and beat them half to death and later gets pregnant by it and then has to watch their mother and six months old child die in front of you without being able to do something about it because you're stuck with a metal piece in your stomach and then later finds out in the hospital when you wake up that you lost hem both and the chance of ever getting pregnant again, when you find me a therapist like that I can promise you I won't yell at them and throw shit at them when they tell me they understand!" I tell her half yelling with no pause between before standing up.
"I wait for you out by the parking lot, come there when you're done, I need a fucking smoke. At least I'm allowed to do that whit this shit around my leg!" I say and before she can say something back I walk out of there.
Just a little something that popped up in my head, I already have a lot of it in my head so another chapter will probably be up very soon!
