Summary:
Bella meets the Cullen's and Hale's in college. She is finely having the perfect life until something tragic happens. Everyone's life gets turned upside down and around and they have to start a new life.
CHAPTER 1
BELLA'S POV
"Hey Bella, are you OK? You seem so…distracted" said Charlie from behind the steering wheel.
"Yea dad, I guess I'm just nervous" I stated. You see, today is my first day of college, and even though classes don't start for another week, I'm still pretty nervous about everything especially meeting my room mates.
"Oh Bells. What could you be so nervous about?"
"I don't know, I guess just meeting my room mates and just being without you or mom, I'm going to miss you guys."
And it was true, I was going to miss seeing green wherever you go living with my dad in Forks, Washington. And even though I already got past the sunshine from Phoenix, where Renee lives, I was still going to miss her.
I was seven and living in Forks when my mom divorced Charlie and she took me with her to Phoenix. I stayed with her until my sophomore year of high school when she got engaged to an almost ten year younger, Phil. She told me that he makes her feel young again, and I couldn't object to seeing my mother happy all the time. So I told her that I wanted to leave Phoenix and go live in Forks with Charlie.
Whenever she asked me why I would always tell her the same answer, "Mom, you and Phil are newlyweds, and I want you guys to be together without worrying about me being there…. That and I miss Charlie too."
So after a lot of persuading, she finally let me go.
Charlie basically taught me how to be independent without even knowing it, because he is the Chief of Police in Forks, so he worked all the time, leaving me at home to do homework and chores and cook and I loved it! And Charlie never once complained about my cooking.
The rest of high school went by in a blur, but I can clearly remember the day I got my acceptance letter….
----FLASHBACK----
I pulled up in the driveway with my very old, red truck and got the mail.
I was being very careful not to slip on the steps leading up to the front door, but as luck would have it, my foot got caught on the last step sending me flying forward and my face inches away from meeting the door.
When I got up, I noticed that the once nice, neat pile of mail was scattered all on the front porch.
I was picking up the last piece of mail, when I noticed it was from Washington State University, I quickly ripped it open and unfolded the piece of paper, praying along the way that I got accepted……
Dear Ms. Isabella Swan,
We are happy to inform you that you have been accepted to Washington State University…..
I didn't get to read what the rest of the letter said because I was jumping from all the excitement and rolled my ankle, but I could hardly feel the pain and neither did I care.
I, Isabella Swan, got accepted!!!
----END OF FLASHBACK----
I guess I was really caught up with my thinking because the next thing I knew we were sitting in front of tons of really tall and wide buildings.
"Were here!" exclaimed Charlie.
"Wow," was all I could say.
Charlie left soon after dropping my luggage outside of my dorm, and giving me a quick kiss on the forehead and an awkward hug, his last words were,
"Bye Bells, try not to trip too much, ha-ha! I'm gonna miss you kid."
And with that, he left, going back to Forks.
I took out my dorm key and unlocked the heavy, wooden door and took two steps inside when I saw two beautiful girls. They were both extremely skinny and pale, but one was tiny, maybe five-foot two or three with short, black hair sticking out everywhere, and she looked almost pixie-like. While the other one was tall, about five-foot eight, with long blonde hair and she looked like a super-model.
The small, pixie-like one, skipped, literally skipped, over to me and gave me a huge hug while telling me her name is Alice Cullen. After Alice let me go, the blonde one walked over and also hugged me saying her name is Rosalie Hale, and that's when I realized that Alice has hazel eyes, while Rosalie has blue.
"Isabella Swan, but please call me Bella" I said when Rosalie let me go.
"Cool, so Bella do you need help unpacking?" asked Alice.
"Sure."
For the next half an hour, Rosalie and Alice helped me unpack all my stuff, asking me questions about myself and my past and I was asking them all sorts of questions also. We were all really having a good time, and I definitely liked them already.
We were finally unpacking my last suitcase which held all my clothes, when Alice and Rosalie gave my clothes a look of disgust.
"What?" I asked them, blushing, "What's wrong with my clothes?"
"Ugh, everything Bella! Everything in here is sweat pants, baggy shirts, and a couple pairs of jeans, and on top of all that, they all look like you have had them for years!!!" said a very disgusted Alice.
"So what? They are comfy, and I don't really have that much money to buy clothes because I have been saving up for college."
After saying that, Alice and Rosalie just looked at each other then back at me with devilish grins.
"Bella, tomorrow Rose and I are taking you shopping."
"No, absolutely not, no way!" I practically screamed. There is no way they are getting me anything!
As soon as I said that, Alice put her hands on her hips, and looked me straight in the eye and exclaimed, "Yes, you are Bella, and you are going to like it!"
Gees, how can someone as tiny as Alice, look so…. Freighting?
"Fine, but only one thing" I pouted, jutting out my lower lip a little.
"Yea, OK" said Rosalie rolling her eyes and chuckling.
A couple minutes later, Rose asked if we were hungry, and as if on cue, my stomach growled. We all laughed and Rosalie said "I'll take that as a yes."
She picked up her phone and dialed someone and asked if they wanted to meet up with us for lunch in the cafeteria and I am assuming the person said yes because Rosalie just smiled and said that we will meet them there in ten minutes.
When we were on the way there I ask who she invited and all she did was shrug her shoulders and said "family."
As I pushed open the doors to the cafeteria, I was taken aback. It was HUGE and smelled so good! There were tons of fake wooden tables and plastic chairs. There were so many things to choose from, pizza, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, Chinese, salad, pasta, and more!
We all decided to get salad and vitamin water for now and we will check out the desserts later.
We sat down a big table that comfortably sits eight and we were talking about how my parents got divorced when two, very handsome looking men sat down.
Rosalie kissed and hugged the one that is extremely huge (muscle wise), about six feet tall, with hazel eyes and short, curly brown hair and the other has a solid build but definitely not as big as the other one, really tall, maybe six-foot two, with surfer blonde hair, and dashing blue eyes. They too were also pale.
"Bella this is Emmett Cullen" she said pointing her finger to the bigger one with curly hair, "and this… is the lovely Jasper Hale" she also said, planting a kiss on the blonde.
I chuckled as I asked Rose and Alice if they were all together.
They also laughed and told me how Rosalie and Jasper are twins and they are both sophomores, and they have known the Cullen's since middle school. And Emmett and Alice are brother and sister. Rosalie and Emmett have been together for 6 years and Alice and Jasper have been together for also 6 years. Emmett is a sophomore while Alice is a freshman and Edward is also a freshman.
That's when I asked them who Edward is and Alice turned to Emmett questioning him with her eyes and he laughed and said,
"Alice stopping looking at me like that, he will be here any min- Oh wait, he's walking in now."
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Alice frantically waving to get her other brother's attention.
"Where were you?" asked Alice while I was taking another bite of my Caesar salad.
"I was still unpacking, when my stomach growled so I just gave up and came here." Edward said walking to the other side of the table, across from me.
"It looks like we have another stomach growler on our hands Alice" laughed Rosalie.
Everyone cracked up, because Emmett and Jasper already knew the story about my stomach growling incident.
I looked up, blushing, about to come back with something when I saw him.
I was speechless.
Edward is simply gorgeous, I couldn't believe my eyes.
He was also pale, about six foot, lanky but muscular, with golden bronze hair that was in his beautiful, emerald green eyes. He had a crooked grin that made my stomach do flip-flops as we locked eyes.
He was just…..perfect.
I noticed my mouth was hanging a little open so I quickly snapped it shut and looked down again, blushing a new shade of red.
"I…I'm….I'm gonna go get something to eat." said Edward.
Why was he stammering over his words, did he like me too?
No he couldn't, Edward Cullen is too perfect to like a simple, plain boring person like me.
There was definitely no way.
I looked down at my food, all the sudden feeling full.
"Alice I am going to go back to our room OK?"
"Wait Bella, Rose and I will go too."
We all walked back to the room in silence. We walked in the room and I immediately plopped down on my bed, thinking about how I am such a boring person.
"Bella, what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing Alice why do you ask?"
"Just wondering, but hey what do you think of Edward?"
"What do you mean?" I asked hoping she will just forget about it.
"Oh come on Bella, Rose and I totally saw the look on your face when you saw him"
"Yea Bella, we definitely know that you think something about him by the way you were staring at him, with your mouth open! HAHA!" Rosalie said trying to imitate me when I saw him.
"I don't know, I don't want to talk about it right now." I said looking at our tile floor.
"Humph!" they both said in unison.
I grabbed a pair of shorts and one of my two sizes too big shirts and my sneakers and went into the bathroom to change.
"OK guys, I'm going for a quick jog, be back soon" I said exiting our bathroom and heading for the door.
"Wait Bella, you can take my ipod." Alice said throwing her ipod at me. I thought I told her that I'm very uncoordinated but I guess she forgot because she really did throw her ipod at me.
And thank god I caught it!
"Thanks" I mumbled.
"Oh and Bella," Rose said as I was turning to leave, "you know your telling us about Edward when you get back."
I sighed, blushing while I nodded and left.
Why do they want to torture me like this? Ugh! I just don't understand. And speaking of torturing, I just remembered we have to go shopping tomorrow to!
I groaned as I put the songs on shuffle and I was about to start running when someone ran into me……
