Chapter one – a new house

Alice POV

I got out of the car and looked around, my back pack on my shoulder and my duffle bag in my hand my social worker smiled and said "this is your new home Alice" I blinked could this nice massive house really be my home, I mean I had so many homes over the year that when I looked at this one it was strange I thought it could be a possibility. She stood there her long blond hair curled around her shoulders, her sharp blue eyes had something in them trying to tell me that this home wouldn't be as bad as the other ones, that maybe this one could work in my favor.

Linda had been my social worker for about four years now, she had seen me into about fifty different houses because people couldn't handle everything that came with me, I had tried to be the daughter these different parents had in mind but I guess things like that just never came to me.

The last one I had been in about a week ago, I had lasted there for about a month before she got pregnant, they were nice but had decided that they couldn't risk their real child and Linda had come and picked me up the same sad expression on her face she had every single time this happened and said "next time we will get it right kid" and drove me to the home i would stay in until they found this one.

Linda walked to the door she was much taller than I was, let's just narrow it down for you, I was short, as flat as a pancake and skinny, my once long and pretty hair had been cut off and so I had improvised into having a pixie cut and at the moment I wore jeans and a black cardigan and I almost always wore flats.

When the door opened a brown haired woman opened she was so pretty, like something you would see on a magazine she smiled and said "Linda and you must be Mary?" Linda looked at me I hated that name so much and said "actually she prefers Alice, it's her middle name sorry I should have mentioned it" I didn't really care to much though when I looked at the woman something in her eyes seemed like she wanted to get it right, something i hadn't seen in a potential parent in a long time.

She smiled and said "oh sorry, my name is Esme Cullen, come on inside Alice everyone is waiting to meet you" she opened the door wider and I followed the adults in Linda closing the door behind us, the house was massive and it just made me feel smaller, a little out of place as well as i noticed everything was so nice and clean. I looked around as we walked into what seemed to be the kitchen, it had a modern expensive look to it and everything was white.

There were a lot of people in here and they all seemed to look like they had fallen straight off of a TV screen Esme smiled and said "Alice my husband Carlisle has been called into the hospital for an emergency he is a doctor you see but these are our children" great a doctor I wasn't too fond of them but I guess I should meet the guy before I hated him.

I stood close to Linda, she was of course the only person I knew and the only person I knew wouldn't hurt me in any way but I knew she was going to have to jump into her fancy car sooner or later. Esme smiled and said "this is our oldest Emmett" he was massive, not tall but he looked like he could snap anything in half and I didn't like that he smiled and said "hey" while wrapping an arm around the blond next to him.

The blond blinked and said "hey I am Rosalie, it's good to have another girl in the house, and these lot are idiots" she was amazingly pretty her make up looked pretty her clothes matched perfectly and her shoes were to die for. I blinked not too sure what to say, I hadn't lived in a house with another girl before, well not another teenage girl. She smiled and said "and this is my brother Jasper" he was just as pretty as her and I felt my heart beating hard as I looked down I couldn't let that happen.

She then said "and there is Edward but he is over his girlfriends, and since it was the morning I was thinking maybe we could decorate your room to your liking, you can even drive to the shops if you like?" I looked to Linda and she understood straight away and said "well Alice doesn't have her driver's licence" yeah it was right a seventeen year old girl didn't have a drivers licence alright?

Esme smiled and said "that's alright, I can drive and Rosalie calm down, you might scare her away" she giggled at the last part and said "Linda should we go and talk about things quickly in the study?" I gave her a look begging her not to leave me alone with these strangers but she smiled at me and said "I will be back now" before following the woman out leaving little old me standing there looking at these three beautiful teens, great.
