Summary: When Bella moves back to Forks to live with her dad she meets some new friends. Edward Cullen is one of those friends,however, they
didn't start so friendly. This is a horrible summary I know. It's my first fanfic so by easy with me....then you can get rough later. Oh and of course there will be some
lemons in further chapter. I'm anxious to get to those suckers.
Chapter One
First day of school. Fanfuckingtastic!! How I live for these moments. Can't you just hear the sarcasm? It's my first day of school here at good ole Forks High. I just moved back with my dad since my mom was incapable of raising me. It only took me 14 years to realize that. I have basically been raising myself for those 14 years. I made my own breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I handled the grocery shopping. I was the one who made sure the bills were paid. Coming home without lights was not fun for a teenager, especially if you have friends coming over. I had to make a stupid excuse that the whole neighborhood must have lost their power. It was so embarrassing being that the neighbor obviously had lights since his porch light was on. It was for that reason that I stopped having friends come over. Well…I stopped having friends at all. I just didn't want to bother to get close to anyone. I planned to get out of here the first chance I got, and I didn't need attachments.
Now don't get me wrong. I loved my mom; she just didn't know how to raise a child. I think she should have considered what was involved in raising a child when she took off and bolted away from Forks and my father. I was only three, so I didn't have a choice in the matter. She broke my dad's heart when she left. She not only took his heart, she took his little girl. I did visit my dad during summers and Christmas vacations, so I'm glad that I got to maintain some kind of relationship with him. During those summers we would go fishing and just hang out. What?? Yes I like to fish! There's nothing wrong with that. Stop looking at me like I'm a weirdo. Anyway….That's how we bonded. Father and daughter. It was during one of those fishing trips this past summer when I decided to ask my dad what he thought of me moving in with him. He was putting bait on his hook when he nearly hooked his own damn finger? Wow…Surprised much dad?
"Really Bells? You want to live with me?" My dad said this with a look that I'll never forget. It was a look of surprise, joy, and was that fear? I guess I can't blame him. A 17 year old girl in the house could get kind of scary.
"Yeah I'm serious Dad. I want to spend as much time with you since I'll be headed off to college next year. I don't know how many summers I'll come back for once I head out into the real world." I laid it on thick.
"Of course you can stay with me sweetie! You didn't even have to ask. I was just surprised that you'd want to live in Forks with me. You'll have to ask your mom though"
Ohhh…Mom. Yeahhhh, I forgot about that. I just figured I'd take off. Maybe put in a sleeping dummy in my bed. I doubt she'd notice. Right?
I left a month early from summer vacation back to Phoenix. I had to get this over with. I took a cab home from the airport since…well didn't I already talk about my mother's forgetfulness? When I came home, I was a little surprised to see my mom, or shall I say traumatized to see her and her new boyfriend in the middle of the living room floor. My eyes still hurt from the image. I still can't help the shudder from just thinking about it. Why did I bring this up again? Oh right! I had to tell my mom the decision that I made.
"Umm….Mom, could you please go and put some clothes on?" I said this with two hands over my eyes. I wanted to be DOUBLE sure not to see what I just saw when I opened the front door.
"Oh my God, Bella!! I forgot you were coming home today!!" Really mom? And I thought this was my welcome home party. Jeez this woman needs some tips to strengthen that memory of hers. Maybe a new route to work or play a little Sudoku? I don't know. She needed to do something.
"I'll be in my room till you decide you're ready for me." I ran up the stairs to my bedroom. I put my suitcase in the closet. There was no use of unpacking everything since I wasn't planning on staying here long anyway. I only brought a little bit of stuff back from Forks with me. Everything else I left at my dad's. I walked around my room wondering how it was gonna feel not to be here anymore. Instead of waking up to the scorching sun busting through my window, I'd be assaulted by the bitter wet cold air, but hey……no sun in my eye. You can't beat that.
"Ok Bella! You can come down now!"
About time…What was she putting on, a corset and gown? I made my way down stairs trying to find the words to tell my mom that I wanted to go try living with my dad. I didn't want to hurt her feelings or anything. I needed to find a way to just gently break the news to her.
She was sitting on the couch with her legs tucked beneath her. My mom was beautiful. She had short wavy brown hair, fair skin, and hazel eyes. People said I looked like her. I never saw it though. I mean I'm just your average girl, typical medium length brown hair and brown eyes that I got from Charlie, average height, and light skin that you can almost see through. No color what so ever. Except when I blush, that's when you'll actually see some color hit my face. And I practically blush for let's see…..EVERYTHING! Seriously, just asking me for directions can make me blush. It's so annoying. So yup….Just average Bella.
My mom was staring at me waiting for whatever I had to tell her. She looked a little worried. She probably thinks I'm gonna bust out and tell her I'm preggers. Not a chance of that mama mia, so you can scratch that off your list. Ok here I go.
"I wanna go live with my dad in Forks." I blurted out. Wow….way to ease her into that.
"Whhat?" she stuttered. "Why?"
"I just want to get a chance to live with Charlie and get to know him better than just summer vacations. I'm gonna head off to college next year, and it will be my only chance to go live with him before I move into a dorm." I stared at her waiting to hear her response. She was looking down. When she looked up I could see tears in her eyes. Shit, she broke out the waterworks!
"I know I'm not a good mom Bella, but I do love you and I try my best to take care of you. Am I that horrible that you want to get away from me?"
Should I be honest? Nope…I can't break her heart even more. She has been a good mother and has loved me unconditionally. She just didn't do the other things that moms needed to do. Like let you kid be a kid. Not worry about grown up stuff. I won't tell her this though. I couldn't bear for her to feel like she failed.
"I know you love me mom, and you have been the best mother a girl could ask for, but I just want to see how it is to live with my dad. It's just something that I need to do. I hope you understand that, and won't hate me for leaving you." I looked down and bit my lip waiting for her to scream and tell me no.
"You know, I'm surprised you didn't ask sooner. I understand what you want to do, and I won't be that mother who stands in your way and tells you Hell no, get your ass up stairs! You're not going anywhere! Wait? Can I do that? Will that work?"
I laughed. My mom always knew how to do that. I think that's in the mom job description. That's another thing she got right.
"No that won't work mom. I'll probably just jump out of my window and break a leg or my neck. You'll have to wheel me around in a wheel chair and teach me how to pop wheelies in it, but I'll never be really satisfied since I won't be able to dance and run which you know I just LOVE to do. It will be your entire fault, and how could you live with yourself? My dreams to attend Julliard will be ruined!" She started laughing.
"I'll just bottle up those feelings and ignore them of course! I'll decorate you're wheel chair. Maybe put some pegs on the spokes. You'll have to forgive me after that."
We both were in hysterics. I'm gonna miss these moments. I stopped laughing and went to sit in her lap.
"You know I love you mom. Me moving away isn't gonna change that." I laid my head on her shoulder.
She brushed my hair behind my ears.
"I know pumpkin. You have to promise me that you'll call me every single day!"
"Mom….I can't call you every single day! There are days when you don't even talk to me when I'm here!" After I said this, her face fell. Oops…Me and my big mouth.
"I'm sorry about that Bella. I didn't ignore you purposely or anything. I just thought you didn't want me to bother you. I know how you like to be on your own." She looked at me with regret. That is not what I meant when I said that.
"I know you didn't mom. I really do like being left alone." I let out a small laugh. "Otherwise you would have smothered me."
"Now, tell me about this guy I unfortunately saw in a compromising position?" My mother blushed.
"Well that's Phil! I met him two weeks ago. He is amazing! I don't know how I got so lucky!"
I listened to my mom tell me how she met Phil by get this….her bumping him from behind with her car. My mom worked her charm and he didn't file a claim. He took her out to dinner the same night. He was some baseball player. I know my mom couldn't resist that. She always said she loved a man in uniform. She prattled on as I laid my head on her legs and she played with my hair. Yup definitely gonna miss these moments.
So, a month later I was all packed up and ready to go. I decided to spend the last month with my mom. I have to say, I enjoyed it. I got to know Phil better, and I was completely comfortable knowing my mom was gonna be ok. I only took the necessities to Forks….my clothes and three pairs of shoes. I'm not a big fashion person. I only wore t-shirts, jeans, and chucks. I didn't have the balance or patience for heels, and my feet were always cold to wear flip flops. Even in hot ass Phoenix! Imagine in Forks! My feet would look like Adam Sandler's in Mr. Deeds. Not gonna happen, so chucks it is. I was going to have to buy sweaters and a jacket to fit into my wardrobe.
I arrived at my dad's house a week before school started. I got settled in. I bought new bedroom comforters and curtains. I made the room livable for the next year rather than just two months. All in all, it looked perfect. I found myself comfortable in my new sanctuary. Charlie was the chief of police, so I didn't' have to worry about him bugging me so much during my quiet time.
I stared out of the window…..I wonder how easy it would be to sneak out of the house by climbing down the tree? Really…What would I have a reason to sneak out of the house for? To go throw the trash or pick berries? I have no life. It was pointless even thinking about it. Oh well.
The next week was just me basically getting settled in. I went grocery shopping since Charlie kept nothing but Hungry Man TV Dinners in the freezer. Gross…How did he survive off of that junk? I'll have to start showing him real food. Bring him back to the beef and chicken world! Not processed fake food. I could at least do this for him.
The Friday before school started Charlie called me down stairs, or should I say yelled my name to where the neighbors could probably hear. I think I even saw birds on the tree fly away from his yell. Well I spoke to soon about him disrupting my quiet time.
"Really, Dad? I was reading you know." I said as I stomped down the stairs.
"Oh yeah? Reading what?" he asked.
"Oh ummm, I was reading on . I have to keep up with the news you know." There was no way in hell I was telling him or anyone about my internet reading addiction. I would take that to the grave.
"Ok. That's good I guess. Anyway, can you take out the trash?" I stared at him and I'm sure my jaw dropped a little.
"Are you serious? You called me down for that?" Jeez…I didn't think Charlie was this lazy.
"Like a heart attack Bells." He smiled.
"Sure thing!" I said in my most sarcastic voice. I stomped into the kitchen and got the HALF empty trash, put on Charlie's boots since I was not going upstairs to put shoes on, and went out the front door toward the trash cans. Once I saw a car with a bow on it, I dropped the trash. I spun around and looked at Charlie standing at the doorway.
"You bought me a car!!" I screamed jumping up and down. I lost my footing with the 6 sizes too big boots and fell flat on my ass.
"Bells are you ok?!?" My dad asked while laughing.
"Yeah I'm fine….You're boots are just a tad too big." I could feel the blush already as I heard the young kids across the street laughing. Whatever I have a car!!
"So do you like it?" My dad asked.
I carefully and awkwardly ran to the car. It was a black Audi TT. I know it was used, but it was in good condition.
"It's not a new car. It's a 2004, but the guy at the dealership told me that this is a car that a 17 year old girl would like." He shrugged.
"Are you kidding me? I love it! You didn't have to buy me a newer car dad. You could have bought me a beat up old truck or something. I would have still been happy."
"I wanted you to have a nice car. It was going to be a graduation present anyway. You just got it sooner than expected."
I ran up to him and gave him a hug.
"Thanks Daddy."
So that's how I came to be here at Forks High on my first day of school sitting in my car looking at the building like it was going to talk to me.
"Well here goes nothing." I took a deep breath and stepped out of the car and headed toward the building. I went straight to the admissions office to get my schedule.
"Hi. I'm Isabella Swan. I need to pick up my schedule."
"Oh! You're the chief's daughter! Wow you look just like your mother."
"Uhh….Yeah. And thanks?" Was the looking like my mother a good thing or bad thing to the woman?
She handed me my schedule with a map on how to get around to where I needed to go. Let's see Biology, Trig, Government, and Gym. Ugh….Great I have fucking gym. At least it was at the end of the day. I had to look at the bright side or towards the end of the rainbow. Whatever the damn saying was.
I headed towards my Biology class. It was still a little early, but oh well. I could get a seat in the back. As I walked into the room only a few people were in there. Obviously it was the nerds that sat in the front of the class. The room was set up with tables, two people per table. I immediately went to the back of the room and sat at the last table. You see the early bird gets the worm! I sat there messing with my phone while people started to filter in. I was too occupied with my phone that I didn't even notice someone sat next to me. Someone? Should I even call this person a someone? He was hot! He looked to be tall. He had a messy head of, what the hell color is that, bronze? Yup, I'd say bronze hair. And his eyes were this amazing shade of green. He was pale. I'd say I'd give him some competition in a Pale of the Palest Pageant. And that jaw! Is it legal to be this hot? I'd have to ask Charlie about the laws here. He was toned. Not all beefy meathead type, but you could tell he worked out. A body good it does him. What the fuck…He has me talking like Yoda. It was like looking at a Greek God! Wait how am I noticing all of this? Am I staring at him? Dear God I'm staring at him!
I turned away really quick. I looked to the side and noticed he was staring back at me. Wow was he checking me out? Way to go Bella!
"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" Oops I guess not.
"What do you mean? I'm sitting down." I said. Damn it. My face feels hot. There's the blush. Where have you been my dear blush? You're a little late to the party.
"Yeah I fucking see that, but why here? Everyone knows you sit here only if invited to do so." He had a scowl on his face. What an asshole! Like I was supposed to know this shit.
"Well pardon me King Dipshit! I didn't know this seat had your name on it! Did you fucking mark it?" I stared at him waiting for him to say something. He just started at me like he was amazed someone told him shit. He must not be used to that.
"Hello? What you didn't realized girls could talk?" He opened his mouth as if to say something. He closed it, obviously thinking about what he was going to say next. He came up close to my ear and whispered.
"Well most girls use their mouth for other things rather than talking…..maybe a little mumbling, humming, or moaning, so unless you are willing to accept the role by sitting your ass in that there chair, then I'd suggest you get up."
"Yeah…I think not!" I got up and looked around to move to a different seat, preferably way across the other side of the room, but with my luck the only seat open was the table right in front of him next to a tiny girl with a pixie haircut. She was very pretty and looked nice enough. I got my stuff and went to sit down at the table. As I was moving, the jerk smirked and shrugged his shoulder.
"What a shame. I had great plans for you."
I rolled my eyes and sat down.
"Do you mind?"
The pixie girl responded back, "Not at all! And don't mind Edward. He can be a jerk at times. He's not always like that." She smiled.
"More like an asshole is more like it. Dude has serious issues" I rolled my eyes as I heard Edward laugh. "I'm Bella Swan"
"I'm Alice Cullen, Edward "the asshole's" sister."
I slammed my head down on the table; fuck…I'm just doing great on my first day aren't I?
