Bella McCarthy had been living in Arizona with her mom for years. It had been years since she had seen her big, older, and very protective teddy bear of a brother, Emmett. After her mom's death, she decides that its time to go, only leaving behind the two best things besides her mom that Arizona had to offer. Her best friend, and her boyfriend. Her best friend Wilcott was gay, but was a funny, serious but happy, gentleman who always had the best of times with Bella. Her boyfriend Tuommy was the sweetest guy she had ever met, and was most definitely in love with her. Wilcott and Bella had been best friends ever since she moved back to Arizona 6 years ago, and two years ago, Bella and Tuommy started their relationship. Bella decides to go to Forks to live with her dad and brother. They didn't know yet, but she hoped they wouldn't mind.
Bella stared out the window of the airplane, lost in thought as it descended at Forks Airport. She was going to miss Tuommy lots, and Wilcott. Bella wiped away a stray tear on her face, grabbed her luggage, and got off the plane. She called a taxi, and made her way to her father's home in Forks.
The taxi stopped in front of her old house, and as Bella got out of it, she looked up at the house. She stared at it, and remembered her past memories with Emmett. Bella walked into the house, and into the dining room where she dumped her luggage. She heard a voice coming from the living room.
"Who's there? You know, I'm a cop. I don't allow trespassing in my house," yelled Charlie.
Bella laughed as she walked into the living room. "Hey dad, it's me..I've decided to come live with you and Emmett," replied Bella innocently as her dad jumped off the couch. He awkwardly drew Bella into a hug, and said in a tearful voice, "It's about time kiddo, its about time."
Bella sniffed and wiped the couple of tears of happiness that seeing her father had made her shed. Charlie grabbed her luggage, and took it upstairs as Bella followed. He showed her her old room, and it had not changed much.
Charlie put an arm around Bella and guided her back down the stairs. The two sat on the couch, and enjoyed a moment of father-daughter bonding.
Bella broke the silence. "Where's Emmett?"
"He's at school, he has a football game right now" answered Charlie "Hey, why don't you visit him in your old truck outside?"
"Yeah..I should do that. Thanks dad."
"No problem kiddo...drive safely," he called as Bella made her way out of the house and into the truck. The truck, her truck, was old, red and rusty. But, she loved it. Charlie had kept it from when he had received it way back when Bella was 10 from an old friend. He had kept it, Emmett had repaired it, and Bella drove it whenever she stayed in Forks on vacation.
Bella drove through the old town and parked into Forks High School Parking Lot. She spotted the football field, and made her way over to it.
This is it Bells, you can do this. This is what you've waited all these years for, to finally see Emmett.
Bella stood at the edge of the football field and took in her surroundings. The bleachers were filled with students watching the game, and on the field, there was a mass of players. By the looks of it, the game had just ended. She spotted Emmett instantly, and smiled like there was no tomorrow. He looked the same; curls, dimples, and he was still huge. She saw him making his way with two boys by his side over to two girls.
Bella started running towards Emmett, and reached him just as he was reaching the two girls. Before he could say anything to either of the girls, she tapped Emmett's back. He turned around and stared at her in confusion. And then, his face broke into a wide smile.
"BELLA! My beautiful girl!" yelled Emmett as Bella jumped into his arms and he spun her around. He put her down and Bella threw her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly.
"I missed you SO much Em! You have no idea how much...But guess what? I'm staying here in Forks permanently now!" said Bella happily. Emmett broke out into a loud laugh, and held onto Bella tightly. Boy, had he missed her.
The two girls Emmett had been making his way over to earlier, went up to them. They were both beautiful beyond belief, one blond who looked like a supermodel. And the other with black cropped hair, looking like a tiny pixie doll.
"Emmett? Why are you hugging another girl?" asked the blond girl angrily.
"Yeah Emmett, how could you do that to Rose?" said the girl with black hair, angry that Emmett was hurting her best friend. The two boys with Emmett flashed him angry looks to, because no one cheated on Rose like that and hurt her.
"HAHAHA! You guys think Bella is my girlfriend?" sputtered Emmett. Bella threw back her head and laughed. She released her hold on Emmett, and looked at the blond girl, who at this point was now angry and confused.
She stuck out her hand. "Hi, my name's Bella. I'm Emmett's little sister from Arizona. Pleasure to meet you," she said with a kind smile. The blond girl, the girl with black hair, and the two boys were shocked. This was Emmett's legendary little sister? She was beautiful, with sparkling eyes, a contagious laugh, and beautiful wavy light brown hair that ended with soft curls on the bottom.
The blond girl was the first to recover. "Oh my god. I am so sorry. I thought you were with Emmett! My name's Rosalie, but you can call me Rose. I'm Emmett's girlfriend," said Rose, a little ashamed. Emmett laughed and put his arm around her and gave her a long passionate kiss. The short girl with black hair coughed loudly.
"AHEM! Come on guys, get a room!" the girl with black hair said. She looked at Bella with a smile and said,"Sorry, I thought the same thing as Rose, and I'm really protective of her. Name's Alice, and those two boys over there are Jasper and Edward. They're both Rose's brothers. Anyways, its really nice to meet you," said Alice, hugging Bella. Bella smiled and said it was no problem. She watched as the boy named Jasper went up to Alice and pulled her into a romantic hug. He said a polite hi to her, and she could tell he had a very nice southern accent, and looked like a pure gentleman. He was handsome, and him and Alice seemed like a perfect pair.
"Hi" said a shy voice from behind Bella. Bella turned and gasped. The boy in front of her, Edward, was beautiful. He had sexy copper hair, deep green eyes, and a smile that was dazzling her as he stared at her. Bella quickly turned bright red from staring.
"Hi," Bella replied shyly. She then turned her attention to her older brother who was talking with Rose, Alice, and Jasper.
"BELLA! YOUR gonna sleep over at the Cullen house tonight with the REST OF US!" yelled Emmett gleefully as Bella wacked him in the head.
"Oww, what was that for," said Emmett rubbing his head. Rose, Alice, Jasper, Bella, and Edward laughed.
"You don't have to yell Em! I'm right here!" Bella replied with a grin. Jasper and Emmett made their way to the locker room to change back into their clothes. Alice noticed that Edward glanced at Bella before joining Jasper and Emmett. The six of them had decided to go out to dinner tonight. Now, only the three girls were left. The three of them stared at each other akwardly, before bursting into laughter.
"Oh Bella, the three of us are gonna be the best of friends," said Rosalie in between laughs.
"Yup, I know it," added Alice as she put her arms around Rosalie and Bella. The three of them walked forward, tripped, and burst into uncontainable laughter again.
"Oh yeah guys. I'm pretty sure we will," replied Bella as she stood up and wiped the grass off of her clothes. She helped Alice up, who helped Rose up. The three girls smiled brightly at each other, and linked arms. They made there way to the boys who had already changed and were standing outside of Emmett's jeep. They looked confusedly at the girls, and looked at each other and shrugged.
Finally, Emmett asked,"Uhh whats so funny?." Rose, Bella, and Alice shared a knowing glance and broke out into laughter again. They shook their heads and said nothing, and Emmett helped Rosalie into the jeep while Jasper helped Alice. Edward held his hand out to Bella to help her onto the jeep. She looked at him amused, and rose her eyebrows. She jumped up into the jeep herself, and left Edward looking stunned.
"Emmett's my brother. I've learned a lot from living with him, so I don't need any help getting on his jeep. Thanks for the silent offer though," said Bella flashing a brilliant smile. Rose, Emmett, Jasper, and Alice "Oohed" and Emmett yelled, "YOU just got BURNED Eddie!." Edward blushed and jumped into the jeep, and the six of the made their way to Souplantation.
The ride to Souplantation was uneventful, but fun...for Emmett and Bella anyways as they made silly faces to each other from the mirrors as Emmett was driving. The rest of the gang remained quite, but watched the siblings' exchange in utter fascination and shock. When they reached Souplantation, Edward quickly jumped out first.
"Jeez Edward, what's with rush?" asked Emmett smirking.
"Nothing, nothing, I just realized we didn't make reservations so I'm gonna go check up on those and find us a place to sit," he replied nervously glancing at Bella and then running a hand through his disheveled bronze hair.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. The restaurant was empty, so there wasn't really a need at all to worry about where to sit.
"Edward, the restaurant's empty, so you really don't have to go ahead. Are you still embarrassed about earlier?" Alice carefully asked Edward, unable to wipe the smile off her face that was beginning to form on the rest of the group.
"No, of course not Alice!," retorted Edward, who was looking anywhere but Alice. Bella caught his eye, and gave him a small smile.
"Then it's settled Edward, we'll all go in together," said Rosalie, rolling her eyes at her brother. Emmett jumped out his jeep, and picked up Rosalie bridal style from her seat, and gently put her on her feet. She gave him a sweet smile, and the two continued to stare into each others' eyes, blissfully in love. Jasper lazily climbed out, and took Alice's hand, helping her off.
He offered her his arm and said with that adorable Southern accent, "My lady." Alice laughed and Emmett and Rosalie glanced over at the two of them before everyone burst into laughter at the cheesy-ness of the whole thing, even though it wasn't really funny. Emmett glanced at Bella who was still sitting in the jeep, and jumped towards her side of the jeep. Her unbuckled her, and she launched himself into his arms. Emmett twirled Bella around before finally settling her down. Everyone smiled at the two of them, and Bella smiled shyly at Jasper who had offered his other arm to Bella. Alice smiled at Jasper's kindness.'
However, before Bella made her way to them, Emmett leaned into her ear and whispered, "I really did miss you sis."
The gang entered the restaurant, and the six of them split the bill before grabbing their plates and filling them up with food. They sat down in a corner, and they started talking, joking, and having a good time with each other.
Rosalie, Alice, and Bella started talking about what they like in guy, while Edward, Emmett, and Jasper were doubled over in laughter, listening to each other make Yo-Mama jokes. Edward looked over at Bella randomly, and saw as she laughed along with Rosalie as Alice made her incredibly long list of things she wanted in a guy.
"Hey Bella, why did you let Emmett help you out of his jeep?" asked Edward suddenly curious.
Bella stared at him confused before replying, "Cause he's my brother?" in an 'Duh' tone, making the boys elbow Edward, giggling like school girls.
"No, I mean why didn't you brush him off? You said you didn't need help getting on or off and then you go and let Emmett help you off?"
Rosalie and Alice stared at Edward. "Uhh...Edward? What's with you and all the strange questions today? You've been acting kinda funny," said Rosalie cautiously. Edward shook his head impatiently at her.
"I let Emmett because he's my brother, I haven't seen him in years, I missed him more than you could possibly imagined, and well honestly, it felt good to hug him again," Bella answered with a shrug as she turned to Rosalie and Alice. Emmett and Jasper started playing truth or dare, and dragged Edward into it, unknowingly forcing his attention away from Bella who was chatting happily with Alice and Rose.
