Hi, my name is Kayla and, well, now I am on my way to go stay with some Uncle Charlie I never knew I had. My mom said that he needs someone to help him since his daughter left him. So, I have to leave my friends and my life in Florida to move to Forks Washington. I never knew about this part of the family so I'm sure after a few days of being here I will be back on a plane flying home to my 'friends'. When I arrived at the airport there was a man there with a sign that said welcome Kayla so I could only guess he was my uncle. The car ride was awkward and full of questions about my mom and me. When we got to the house I was happy because Uncle Charlie showed me the house then said that he was going to be visiting some friends to make sure they were alright and that he would be back by Monday. Lucky for me, I came here in the summer. So no school and no worries! I put my stuff away in, what I can guess was my cousin Bella's old room. I didn't like being in my uncle's house by myself, because it just didn't feel like a home to me so I took my laptop outside. I figured that my computer, my camera, and my phone all out in a calming place could help the move. I placed my laptop in its carrying case and slung it over my shoulder, my camera in the small pocket in the same case, and of course my phone was in my pocket. After I walked out the back door of the house I walked out almost into the woods but not sure if they were safe or not so I sat at the edge of them and sat under one of the trees.
All of a sudden my cell rang so I pulled it out of my pocket and picked it up. "Hello? Who may I ask is calling?" I asked because I didn't know anyone form around here.
"Hey, Kayla?" a woman asked on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, who is this?" I asked still not knowing who this was.
"Hi, cousin, it's me Bella. I'm sure Uncle Charlie has mentioned me by now, and I just wanted to thank you for keeping an eye on him." Bella said with a perky tone to her. I thought about all that I was told and remembered hearing the name Bella and that she was my cousin so I went with it.
"Bella, So, you're the cousin that I never knew I had. Uncle Charlie hasn't really spoken to me since I got here. How did you get my number? My mom said you left Charlie and I was to spend my summer here helping him get over his "loss of a daughter", since my parents became "to busy" for me. Anyway, I don't know how you could stand it in Forks. I can't wait till I can go home. Here I have no friends, no life I hate it." I rambled on.
"Kayla I know how you feel, sort of. That's how I felt when I first got here. But then I had a best friend, and then I meet Edward…." Bella said trailing off into thoughts of when she first moved to Forks.
"Ok, well I'm not you and I don't know anyone. It's lonely here." I said with a said sad sigh. "Well Cuz it was nice to talk to you but it looks like it's going to storm or just getting dark. So I'm going to get my stuff and head inside. Night Cuz..." I told her then hung up. Once I put my camera and computer in the case I heard a noise like someone coming. When I looked up there was a boy around my age, standing there looking at me. "Hello? Can I help you?" I asked, not remembering ever seeing the boy before.
"Maybe you can tell me why such a pretty girl like you is out in these woods alone." the boy said with a smirk.
"But I'm not alone, you're standing right there." I said with a slick smile as I started to head back to the house.
"No, don't leave. I'm Matt." Matt said grabbing my wrist so that I didn't leave.
"Hi, Matt... I'm Kayla. And why shouldn't I leave?" I asked confused. From what I could tell I would say that Matt was good looking I mean no shirt or shoes, nothing but a pair of knee length jean cut off shorts. He had a nice six-pack abs that matched his buff muscles on his arms and legs. What really stuck out to me was his shaggy dirty blond hair, and simmering blue eyes. He seemed like there was something he wanted to say but couldn't find the right words.
"Kayla what a pretty name for such a pretty girl... Kayla, if you don't mind me asking, do you have a boyfriend?" Matt asked with a shy smile.
"I have no friends at all here. In fact, I was starting to think people my age didn't live around here until I saw you, now that I see you I know there are young adults around here... or at least you." I said with a small smile.
"Well now you have a friend, or a …" Matt said trailing off fighting something inside him that I couldn't put my finger on.
"Or what… You know what I don't need to know. I should get back to my uncle's house." I said with a sigh and started to walk away.
"Kayla, look it's too hard to explain, ok? It's just when I saw you, I don't know, I was hit with a wave of love ok? It's like you are now the only reason I have to live…" Matt said looking away afraid he would scare Kayla off.
"Matt…" was all I could say before I heard someone calling my name. Apparently my Uncle Charlie had come home because he forgot a few things and came home to get them, when he saw me out side he figured he would call me in to let me know he may stay longer at his "friend's house" then he intended. I wanted to tell him that I would love to be friends with him and see were things would take us but the person calling my name from the door was my uncle so I had to go see why he was home so early. "Look Matt, it was nice to meet you, but I think my Uncle Charlie is home, and is going to wonder why I'm not there." I said with a sad sigh wishing I wasn't so shy when it came to boys especially boys as hot and cute as Matt was.
"Kayla will I ever get to see you again…?" Matt asked and he seemed so romantic, hot, sweet, and cute….
"Here," I said as I took out a marker and wrote my number on his hand. "Now you can call or text any time ok? Now I have to go. Sorry." I said and blew Matt a kiss. As I ran off toward back door of Uncle Charlie's house my phone in my pocket and camera and computer in my bag, Matt stood there looking at my name and number, shocked that I didn't think he was crazy. When I got back to Uncle Charlie's it looked more like he was moving out. He said he was going to permanently move in with his lady friend and well that I could have the house, if he was going to stop by he would let me know before just dropping in on me. I let him go, but I was hoping that by moving here I wouldn't be so lonely. After Charlie left and I was up in my new room (Bella's old room) my phone rang it was a number I didn't know. "Hello?" I said when I picked up my phone.
"Hey, Kayla… I just wanted to ask you a few questions. One, when you said that you were going to you Uncle Charlie's house... does he have a daughter named Bella? And, well, I was wondering what you were doing tomorrow?" Matt asked, a little unsure of what to say.
"Yeah, I think that was her name… and I'm doing what I'm doing now. I guess sitting alone and doing nothing, really…" I sighed thinking about how there was nothing to do.
"You're lonely? Well if you want some company I would love to come spend time with you." Matt said eagerly.
"Don't you think if my uncle came back and saw you that he might be, I don't know, mad? I mean after all this is his house and never said I could have people over." I answered honestly really wishing I had someone to talk to or spend time with, but I was shocked no one ever wanted to spend so much time with me.
"Not if I ask him now..." Matt said then I heard him yell away from the phone to someone then he was back talking to me. "He said it was ok, as long as it's ok with you." Matt said ready to go be with Kayla. Apparently where ever my uncle was staying had to be close to were ever Matt was if he could talk to him so simply.
"Why not, you seem to really want to come here and I really want someone to spend time with so come whenever you want, ok?" I said with a happy smile that only I could see but I'm sure Matt heard.
"Give me a like, a half hour to get some stuff and get up there." Matt said happy as be.
"Ok, see you then." I said then we both hung up. I was already changed and didn't really feel like changing again, so I just went back to my computer to work on some projects. Next thing I knew, there was someone in my room almost closing my fingers is my laptop. "Who are you and how did you get in my room without making a sound?" I asked as I saw a girl who looked about 19-21 and a little girl who looked about 3-5 years old.
"Kayla, I'm Bella. And this is my daughter Renesmee." Bella said with a smile. Renesmee came up on the bed with me and gave me a hug I was shocked, but Bella looked like she was worried.
