Chapter 1:
I sat in my room with Rose and Emmett, two of my adopted siblings. The radio was blaring, annoying the shit out of Edward, our other adopted brother. We were waiting for our adopted parents to return with two more children that they just adopted.
Rose was sitting on the love seat going through car magazines. Emmett was lounging on my desk chair strumming at his guitar to the song I was blaring. I was catching up on homework from the days I missed at school due to the flu.
Edward stormed into my room and rudely turned my stereo off. We all looked at him, I don't like anyone touching my stuff.
"What the fuck Edward?" I asked.
"I can't hear myself concentrate." He said walking out of my room. I followed.
"You could have just turned it down dumbass." I said pushing him. I know, pushing at 16 is immature, but it was all I could think of. He faced me.
"Really Bella? Pushing at our age?" He said more then asking. We were now in the living room.
"Well you touched my stereo. You asked for it." I said my voice raising slightly. This in turn started a yelling match between us.
That is how our adopted parents, Carlisle and Esme Cullen, found us. Edward and I were screaming at each other for no reason now, while Emmett and Rose made sure we didn't get physically violent. It is well known in Forks that Edward and I were violent, more so with each other.
It started when I was adopted last year. I am Wiccan and he was raised Christian. This in turn started a love/hate friendship between us. Neither of us have been thrilled about loosing our parents at a young age. While he was adopted by the Cullen's not long after his lose, I was shuffled from foster home to foster home until I was finally adopted by the Cullen's last year. Rose and Emmett followed soon after I did. I got along perfectly with both of them. Rose didn't fully believe in anything and Emmett just wasn't interested in religion.
"What is going on here?" Carlisle asked, causing the screaming to stop. And for my headache to return. I started rubbing my temples, trying to relieve the tension.
"Sorry Carlisle. Edward turned my stereo off and I got mad." I said.
"You two need to learn to get along. Now I want you four to welcome Jasper and Mary Alice into the family." Carlisle said.
"I prefer Alice." The short girl said quietly.
"Whatever." I said going back to my room for some pain medicine. And the whole family followed me.
"Will you at least look at them Bella?" Esme asked.
I turned around and stopped when I looked at the new duo. Alice was 4'11'' with short, spiked black hair and Jasper stood at 6'0'' with honey colored hair that fell in his face. Jasper is hot was all my mind could process.
"Hi." I waved weakly. Emmett laughed loudly.
"Now that we have met, Edward it is time for our run." Emmett said leaving. Edward followed. I went in search of my medicine again.
"How are you feeling Bella?" Carlisle asked.
"Like I shouldn't have screamed at Edward. My head hurts." I half whined out.
"Lay down for awhile. We'll call you when dinner is ready." He said ushering everyone out of my room. I laid down and napped for a couple of hours.
During dinner Emmett made jokes to make the newcomers laugh and feel at ease. Edward and I glared at each other.
"Bella, do you mind if Mary Alice sleeps in your room tonight?" Esme asked me. We all looked at her. "Her room isn't quit finished. It is rude to make her sleep on the floor."
Then everyone looked at me, no telling trying to gauge my reaction. I looked at the tiny girl, then Esme.
"Have you asked Rose yet?" I asked.
"I won't stay with her." Alice half spat out. I looked at her quickly. No doubt Rose was a bitch towards the girl. It is hard for Rose to accept anyone new.
"Then I have no option but let you sleep on my couch. But I warn you now, touch my shit and you loose a limb." I stated.
"Isabella Marie Swan." Carlisle reprimanded me. I didn't even give him a look. Dinner remained silent after that.
Alice followed me to my room later that night. I pointed to the couch and went to my bed.
"You sleep there. Don't be too disturbed if there are any wet spots." I said grinning.
"Why would there be wet spots?" She asked.
"You don't want to know." Rose said from my door. Alice shivered then went to the bathroom to get ready for bed. I grinned at Rose.
"What are we watching tonight?" I asked as the boys entered.
"The Exorcist." Edward said with a grin. I smiled. That was our movie that we actually bonded over and didn't hate each other about the other's religion. We just don't get along because we are teens.
"Popcorn is here." Emmett said handing out bowls. Alice entered and was fully confused.
"It is movie night." I said with a shrug.
Rose and Emmett took there spot on the love seat while I sat on my bed. Edward set the movie up and laid down on my bed. Alice and Jasper just stood there not moving.
"Jasper came join me and Mary Alice you can join Edward." I said shrugging. I wanted to gauge Alice's reaction to me calling her Mary Alice.
Jasper joined me and Alice looked unsure. Edward got up and turned the lights off and pulled the short girl to the bed. I laughed at her mumbled protests.
"Shut up the movie is starting." Emmett said throwing popcorn at the girl. I laughed.
"I prefer the name Alice." She mumbled out.
"Well, Alice," I said, "Shut up and enjoy the movie."
I pushed Edward off the bed when the girls head turned 360 degrees around. He got up and threw popcorn at me. Alice buried herself into Edward's side when he laid back down.
Around 3 am Carlisle poked his head in. We were all awake still.
"Go to bed guys. I expect all of you ready for the social worker at lunch time." He said. He was dressed for work.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"I just returned home. I had to deliver the Stanley's baby." He said.
"Jessica was pregers?" Rose and I asked looking at each other.
"No, her mother was." Carlisle said walking away.
The guys went to their rooms also. Alice laid on the love seat while Rose and I fell asleep on my bed. Esme woke us up around 10 telling us to start showering and be ready for lunch in 2 hours. I groaned as I got up. Rose left to get ready. Alice was still asleep. I let her be and went to shower.
Thirty minutes later Alice was still asleep. I quickly dressed then woke her up. She rolled off the love seat with a groan. I laughed at her. She glared at me as she got up.
"Go shower, lunch is in an hour and a half." I said brushing my hair.
By the time Alice finished her shower I had my 'social worker' outfit on, as Rose deemed it. I had on a short black skirt, red spaghetti strap tank and my leather choker. My pentacle necklace was displayed on my neck. Alice stopped in her tracks and looked at me weird. I gave her a 'what?' look. She shrugged and got dressed.
