APOV.
I felt sick I was so nervous. My mind was so preoccupied I barely noticed the breeze chilling my skin through my parka. It wasn't even September yet, how could it be so cold? Pulling my coat tight around me I made my way into Port Angeles airport walking straight past luggage collection. I'd travelled with hand luggage, my favourite Louis Vuitton bag.
I walked slowly unsure whether Esme would be here or not. I'd have been totally against moving to Forks if I didn't have such a soft spot for my aunt. She was so much like my mother, the closest I'd get to my mother now. I shook this thought from my head, there were more pressing matters right now.
Rounding a corner and my nerves evaporated as I spotted Esme. Her caramel curls hung just below her shoulders. Her features were softer, less prominent than my mothers had been. All three of us seemed to have identical emerald green eyes. Esme looked my way and met my stare.
"Alice!" She beamed moving forward and hugging me tight. After a second she pulled back scrutinising my face before beaming again. "Oh! You need to meet your cousins!" She turned and led me towards the exit. She bombarded me with questions as walked. Asking if my flight had been ok, if I'd managed to changed ok at Seattle and so on. I gave half hearted answers. My mind was pondering on other things.
I've never been scared of meeting new people, or shy. But the prospect of meeting my uncle and cousins was making my anxious. In different circumstances I'd be excited to meet family I'd never met before, but I was moving in with them. If they didn't like me or I didn't like them it would make life so difficult. I tried to banish these thoughts as we approached two tall boys stood by Esme's car. They watched us approach.
"Boys, this is Alice."
"Good to finally meet you Alice!" The larger one said before embracing me in a bear hug. I froze still not really knowing how to react. He let go and stood back in his place and the other boy smirked looking away from me. My face must be a picture of shock.
"Sorry, Emmett's a bit full on." Esme patted my shoulder and I controlled my face to smile at him.
"I'm just being friendly!" He exclaimed rolling his eyes. He was huge probably 6ft4 and you could see his big muscles through his long sleeved shirt. He'd be totally scary if it wasn't for his cheeky almost childlike face, he had blue eyes and short blonde hair. He shot me a huge grin before turning to his brother. "Are you going to introduce yourself or just stand there being rude?" It was clear he was joking but it seemed to irritate the other boy who shot him a glare before turning to me.
"I'm Edward, it's nice to meet you." He reached politely shook my hand. He was a few inches shorter than Emmett but still a good 6ft. He was less bulky than his brother with similar features but he had Esme's caramel hair with hazel eyes.
"Well, now you all know each other we should get going, there's lots to do." The boys groaned and turned towards the car. Emmett called shot gun and Edward sat in the back across from me.
"So, Alice," Emmett said as the car pulled out the car park onto the main road. "What kinda stuff do you like?"
"Photography and other arty things, I like sport and music too." I paused wanting to conversation to continue. "What about you?"
"I like sport too and food and cars." He turned round grinning and I couldn't help but smile. "What sport do you like?"
"Running, like athletics mainly and I like my car if that counts." I looked out the window smiling, I couldn't imagine the looks I'd get driving down these streets in my audacious looking car.
"What car do you have?" I was surprised, the voice came from beside me.
"A Porsche." I said as I turned to look at him, he looked impressed and in my peripheral vision I could see Emmett turn round "911 turbo." I added before either of them could ask.
"Ok, that's cool." Emmett was impressed, Edward just gave me an odd look. I went back to looking out the window.
"And what colour is it Alice?" Esme spoke for the first time, I could hear the amusement in her voice.
"Yellow!" We both laughed and the boys groaned.
"And it will be here just before school starts, everything else is here already," We approached the 'Welcome to Forks' sign and I tried to concentrate on what Esme was saying to take my mind off my current whereabouts. "All you need to do is arrange your things, I hung all your fancier clothes so they wouldn't crease."
"That's really nice of you, thank you." I felt bad about the amount of effort she'd gone through to make this move easy for me. She'd even redecorated my new room for me, she'd bought new bedding and even some new bits of furniture.
"Honestly, it's really not bother sweetie." I noticed Edward shoot me a sideways glance that lasted a second too long. I wondered how much they really knew about me and the circumstances leading me to invade their house.
I tried clearing my mind and looking out the window. The town was surrounded by mountains and trees, lots of trees. It made a big change from the New York skyline I'd grown up with.
"I bet this is different to New York." I jumped and looked straight into Edwards eyes, it was like he'd just read my mind. He smirked.
"Yes, very different." I paused "There weren't even houses where I lived, just apartments and skyscrapers." I smiled sweetly and I heard Esme giggle. She'd turned onto a dirt path hidden in the midst of forest.
"Your Porsche isn't going to like this" Emmett sounded amused, I groaned. He was right I'd have to get it cleaned every week if not every day "It's alright, the rain will wash off the mud." he snickered.
I cringed and tried to think of something witty and mildly mean to respond with but the path had curved and we were approaching the most beautiful house I'd ever seen.
It was a mix of modern and original. The windows were tall and wide, very modern. But the rest of the house looked original and authentic. It was three floors with a large garage on the side. I assumed everyone had their own car.
"Do you like it?" I hadn't realised the car had parked and Esme was looking at me from the front seat.
"Yes," I smiled at her "It's perfect."
Hey! Favourite and review if you like it and if you didn't like it then you don't have to do anything :) xoxo
