Just the start of a new idea I've got.
Disclaimer: Well...?
Ever get the feeling of dread. I did. It was on the day I decided to return to Forks, bearing in mind I hadn't been here in 4 years, and I left under dire circumstances. My last day here was filled with torment, a brutal beating, an unlikely saviour, a trip to the hospital then having to move thousands of miles away from those I called family.
And today I was returning.
I was no longer that scared little 12 year old girl. The girl who was a klutz, who wore glasses, and had acne, I was no longer that girl who was deemed a pushover and had no friends, today I would go back with my head held high, and be thankful for everything that got me where I am today.
Today I got to go home and see my Dad, Charlie, and my big brother Emmett, both of whom were deeply upset by my departure, to be honest I was a little worried about seeing Emmett again seeing as it was his friends who... lets not go down that path Swan.
There was one person I was looking forward to seeing most, my saviour... Rosalie Hale. You see she isn't all that she seems, when you stand in a room beside her your self-esteem drops, she is just that drop-dead gorgeous, she comes out like she's a right bitch, but she is the fiercest and mist loyal person I have ever met, and she's my only friend.
"Swan?" someone shouted my name in shock.
I look over to where I heard my name being yelled from, and I smiled automatically. Arms where flung around my neck, and I was pulled into a hug that almost suffocated me.
"Ca...n't...brea...the," I choked out
The tight hold on me slackened immediately, and I was soon gulping down air, not before I threw my arms around this person, I was delighted to see them here.
"I missed you Forks hasn't been the same without you Swan,"
"I've missed you too Hale, I enjoyed your last visit to Phoenix, oh and the deputy reminded me to tell you that he's still looking into your alibi," I say with a smirk
"What? Can you blame him?" She says acting shocked
"My brother returned back yet?" I ask her
"Yeah, he started back at school about 2 months ago, but he keeps to himself, he's still blaming himself you know,"
"Come back to the house with me?" I beg
"Absolutely Swan," she giggles.
With that we link up arms and make our way to her Car, its a BMW that's all I can tell, she informs me that her parents bought it for her at the start of the school year. Like I said I've really missed Rosalie.
"So Izzy-B ready to get into trouble in the small asses town?" Rose asks me
"Don't you know it girl," I yell
"Where you staying at then?" Rose says
"Didn't you hear, Dad's allowed my Mom to pay for a 4 bedroomed house for me, since Charlie is moving to the Rez with Sue, he wanted to sell his home, which means if my plan works I'll soon have my brother back with me," I say with glee "Well that and you're moving in,"
"Damn right I am, surprised the parental actually agreed to this though, Mom's wanting to see you, and Dad doesn't mind as long as we behave,"
"Well what do you expect my Mom said that no famous daughter of hers was having a parent cramping her style, and she didn't want me to be on my own,"
"I still cant believe Mom and Renee are like best friends," Rose comments
"I still cant believe Mom and Tanya are like BFF's and they got into more trouble than us both," I laugh
"Lets admit the 4 of us together is just a bad idea bitch, both our Moms are insane," Rose giggles
"That they are sister, that they are,"
With that we both laugh, and the rest of the journey to Forks is as up beat as ever. I should probably explain my story. You see back when I was 12 Rose's family had only just moved here, and she was immediately brought into that mean assed group, but she never wanted part of it, Rose had never seen what they were capable of, until they beat me up in front of her, she'd seen me around school, but never said anything to anyone but her Mom, Tanya is a saint. On that day she helped me up, after that vile group had scattered and pulled me out of school, where she'd already called her Mom, and her Mom was waiting in the Car, and soon as she saw us, jumped out and helped me into the car, and sped like hell to get me to the hospital, but somewhere along the line my Dad caught her speeding and pulled her over, only to let her continue when all she did was point to me, like I said it was a chaotic day.
As I was being tended too in the hospital Charlie had made an alliance with Tanya, and they got talking, and along with Rose they figured out how I got my injuries, Charlie was upset that I hadn't come to him, but he wanted to keep me safe, Tanya who could sense the distress offered Charlie a option, to which he reluctantly conceded, and that then brought me too 8 hours later being on a plane to Phoenix with Mrs. Hale as my escort, she had explained everything to me. Rosalie had promised me before I left that we would remain in contact and that she would visit me, and that came true when my Mom and hers struck a friendship, they often came to Phoenix for some girl time, not that Mr. Hale, or Riley as he asked me to call him, minded, in fact he came along as well to hang around with Phil, my Mom's husband.
"SPECIAL DELIVERY," Rose shouted bringing me out of my thoughts
She turned off the engine, and stepped out of the car, leaving my luggage alone, only bringing my purse with me, and quickly skipped around to her, with that we both walked up to my old home together, no one knew that I was coming home today apart from Rose and her family, my Dad thought I was coming in, in the new year.
Quickly unlocking the door, Rose and I walked through to the living room, the house was filled with silence. Meaning my Dad was at work, and Emmett was out. So with that we decided to go up to my old room, and... well nothing had changed, everything had been kept the same, not that I was surprised.
"Now this is different from your room in Phoenix," Rose said
"What do you expect, it roomed a 12 year old girl," I said holding back my laughter
"Well we already know purples not your colour, except this shade is nice, but its not you Izzy, but its still a lovely room,"
"Rose you can laugh, this is not my room, this belonged to a little girl who was bullied for the way she looked, and who she was, she felt scared and alone, she had no friends, she hated her life," I sighed
"And now look at you, you are drop-dead gorgeous, so confident, so graceful, know how to really defend yourself, has an amazing friend, and already has 2 best selling books out," Rose ticked off her fingers.
"Stop trying to flatter me, I ain't going to tell you how the sex between us was," I snarked at her
"Fine, but I was being honest Izzy just look at who you are, and what you've become, I'm glad we became friends, and..."
"Fine," I grumbled "If you tell me about Matthew, I will tell you about Jack," I concede
"He was lousy in the sack, glad I didn't lose my V-card to him, what else can I say," Rose mused "He was awfully attentive though..."
"Well then I guess you know my story, Jack was pretty much the same, he didn't like it when I told him his older brother was better," I laughed
"You did not," Rose gasped
"I did too," I shot back
"Slut, and keeping it in the family as well, wait didn't you lose your V-card to their cousin, what's-his-face?" Rose asked
"Yeah, but you ruined that night," I sighed. "And it was Thomas, by the way,"
Rose gives me a sheepish look shrugging her shoulder, she knows what I mean, honestly we have no boundaries, and we are freakishly comfortable with one another, after all walking in a room where your best friend is being fucked... yeah lets say there's not much that can shock us.
"Anyway give me the latest gossip?" I demand Rose.
"Well as you know, the dick-heads, that's what I name them, are the most popular gang in school, they keep trying to engage Emmett but he's currently avoiding them, Alice and Jasper have mellowed out, and actually regret what they did, Edward's still a jerk, Lauren and Jessica are the whores of the school, and as for Mike, Tyler and Eric, well lets just say they believe they are Gods gift to women, the others have kind-of separated from the group, but they still get together once in a while,"
"Wonder if they'll recognise me?" I muse "Or will they be dropping to their knees declaring that they are in love with me, and that I'm the most beautiful girl they have ever seen,"
"Deffo option number Dos," Rose states
The front door slams shut, signalising that someone is home, I whisper to Rose to let me go down first. From my spot of the stairs I can see that both my Dad and Emmett are here, I'm guessing that Emmett must be volunteering at the station.
"Heard from Bella recently Dad?" Em asks
"No haven't spoke to her, says she aims to move down here by next year," Dad sighs "Your Moms already sorted out a home for her,"
"Oh, I thought she was moving back in here, or whatever?" Emmett mutters "About that, Dad where am I moving too, when you move in with Sue?"
"With me Emmett Swan, your ugly ass will be moving in with your super sweet baby sister," I say revealing my self
I think I just gave my brother and Dad a heart attack, they are both staring at me like I'm not real, oh wait actually its because they don't recognise me, I just smile at them.
"Don't forget about me bitch," Rose yells coming into view
Em's and Dads eyes bug out once they realise that there is someone else here with me, Rose just skips into the living room, dragging me along, she kisses the top of Charlie's head then plops her butt onto the floor, and yanking me down.
"Guess who's back?" Rose says in a sing-song voice "Bella's back,"
I swiftly elbow her side, which promptly shuts her up.
"Rosalie Hale just what on Earth are you playing at?" Dad asks her
"Well lil' Bella here asked me to help her with a little surprise she was planning, and when she told me she was moving back here, I agreed whole heartedly, I was not to inform anyone of her return, only that I bring her straight here so she could surprise you," Rose finished off sweetly
"Yes kind officer, no I did not mean to cause any harm Sir, why of course Sir I am a respectable citizen Sir," I said mimicking Rose's voice
To which she elbowed me in the side, as a response.
"Bella?" that was Emmett
I stood up and turned to him, next thing you know I am wrapped up tight in one of my brothers big hugs, I've certainly missed this, Emmett starts to silently cry on my shoulder, keeping me close, till I whisper to him to sit down, which he does, keeping me sat firmly on his lap.
"Your back?" he hiccups
"Yep... and your moving in with me," I respond "Hope that's alright with you Dad,"
"Baby Girl," my Dad gasps "Bella... but you said that... but how... I mean why?"
Dad couldn't quite put a sentence together.
"I lied, I came back now, your moving down the rez, Emmett's moving into mine, not like I don't have the room, yes I'm back here for Good, yes I am starting school Monday, and no Dad I don't need a moment to think about any of this, and yes I will be okay living on my own, I have my brother for protection," I finalised with "I missed you both... so much,"
And with that I was snatched out of my seat with Emmett, and my Dad held me in his tight embrace, thanking me, who knows what for, but still it was comforting.
The rest of the day was filled with sorting out legalities, Dad informed me and Emmett he was keeping the house, but renting it out for a few years, just until Emmett was old enough to inherit it, seeing as I had my own place, he warned us about rules and whatnot, and we finished up with my telling Emmett he could move in whenever he wanted, and they could do what the wanted with my old room.
With that Rose and I left.
"By the way bitch I've moved some of my crap into your already," Rose said
"Awesome, so what should we do now after we dump my crap into the house," I said "Ooh I know lets go shopping, I need a total wardrobe re-vamp, and I need to get some supplies in for school, not to mention we need to go shopping for food and stuff,"
And that's exactly what we did. Since Rose was staying with me, her Mom and Dad had an account set up for her that they would deposit so much into a month, for her to spend as she saw fit, since the house was bought outright, and my Mom had sorted out the bills for everything involving the house, we just needed to stock up on supplies.
We drove to Seattle to do our shopping, we actually got quite a bit from there, from dresses, and skirts, to jeans, shorts, sweats, all types of tops, pyjama wear, and shoes, then we gathered accessories that we would need, before finishing up going into a lovely little store, that sold cosmetics, and toiletries, from there we bought different scented sets, for soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion of all sorts, basically anything you could imagine. On our way back we stopped at the local Thriftway store, and did a deep shop for anything we could need. By late night we finally arrived back home, and took our days spoils inside, and placed things in the right places.
We finished up the night with w takeaway pizza, and a bottle of wine, that our Moms had gladly stocked up for us, thank God for Mom's.
