EPOV
"Flight Number 5607 to Detroit is boarding in 10 minutes"
I looked at my mother and father. I would miss them and I would miss Germany
"Well- that's me" I said
My mother stood up as did my father. They walked over and hugged me. I had chosen a later day flight so it would be midday when I arrived in Washington. It was dark outside and 8:00 at night.
"Have a good time. Don't get into trouble. Be safe. We hope you have a good flight" she whispered in my ear. "ich liebe dich" she continued and I felt a tear drop onto my shirt. She looked up and me. I took my thumb and wipped under her eye.
"It's only a year" I replied.
I looked over to my father.
"Have a safe trip son."
I nodded. He hugged me one more time. I took a step over to my mother and kissed her on the forehead. I stepped back and grabbed my carry on item- a backpack with various entertainment items for the long flights and slung one strap over my shoulder. I turned and walked to the security part of the airport. I showed the guy all of the needed documents and he pushed a button and bar went up into the air- it reminded me of a train track- signaling me to go on though. I got to the escaladers and I look back at my mother who was look right at me and flashed my crooked smile at her I turned my head and just watched myself go up to the second floor which lead directly outside to where the planes boarded. I got on the plane and took my seat. It was a full house to use American lingo. I had made it with 2 minutes to spare.
"Please fassin your seatbelts. We will begin liftoff in 1 minute." The flight attendant screeched. I obeyed and took my iPod out of my pocket to drown out all of the voices and the crying children then we were in the sky. For about 10 hours I slept, read, and listened to my iPod. The contents in that backpack were very precious to me right now. At about 8:30 in the morning I arrived at Detroit Metro Airport in Detroit, Michigan and 30 minutes later I was on another plane heading for William R. Fairchild International Airport in Port Angeles, Washington. This time instead of pulling out my iPod I decided to watch a movie that was playing in the plane so that was a nice distraction for 2 and a half hours but then I decided to listen to my iPod some more- Tokio Hotel was the best band ever! Hours passed.
"Folks we will be landing in Port Angeles in 30 minutes so prepare for a landing." The pilot said over the intercom. I put my things away in my backpack. The landing started suddenly it felt like I was dropping out of the sky but that might have been because I was but then I heard a screech as the plane kept going on the blacktop until the plane stopped and the doors opened. I put the backpack over one shoulder and used the other arm to pull out my 2 suitcases of luggage from the stowaway compartment and made my way to the center of the aisles. As I got off the plane and made my way into the terminal lobby I saw a family of six holding up a sign that had the words "MASEN" written on it. These people were my new family. I walked over to them.
"I'm Edward" I spoke slowly.
"Hi I'm Esme. We are very happy to have you here. " a woman with carmel colored hair spoke. She extended her arm and so did I. We shook hands. She then proceded to pull me into a motherly hug.
"I'm Carlisle. It's very nice to meet you." A young looking man with blonde hair spoke. It was very obvious he was the father. I shook his hand also.
"I'm Alice" "and I'm Rosalie" two girls spoke- one of them with short spiky black hair and the other long blonde hair with curls.
"I'm Jasper" a kid spoke with blonde curly hair that reminded me of a afro- but it wasn't.
"and I'm Emmett" the oldest son spoke pulling me into a giant bear hug.
"So are you ready to go to the house and get settled?" Carlise asked.
"Yeh sure."
They led me to their vehicles. I glanced over the cars. There was a thousand of them. These people must have been freaking millionaires! A Mercedes, a Porsche , a BMW!
"Which car will you be taking?" Esme asked.
"Umm I guess I will ride with whoever is driving the Mercedes." I spoke
"Then you will be riding with Carlisle and I" replied Esme. She smiled.
"We have a spare Volvo in the garage at home if you would like you could drive it while you are here with us. Of course you'll have to get your liscenses first" Carlisle said.
"Wow- sure. Thanks!- how generous of you" I was astonsished.
We got in the cars and headed home. Forks was so green and foggy. It was going to take some time getting used to- but I didn't detest it. I was so thankful that I hadden't forgotten my rain coat.
"Surprise Surprise- it's raining" Carlisle said as he turned on the windshield wipers.
"Yeh- Forks is the wettest place in the continental U.S"
"You've been studying" Esme smiled and looked back at me. I smiled at her. Carlisle came around a curve then and took a back road that lead to another road and turned on it. It was very large. I say it took about 1 minute to drive up it, then I saw it- a house so big it had to be consitered a mansion- maybe it was. As we inched closer to the mansion house I saw Carlisle reach up and press something on his windshield visor and I saw a garage door begin to open. He must have pressed a garage door opener. We all parked in the garage- it was huge also. I could only imagine how big the inside of the house was.
"Welcome to our home." Esme said standing in front of the door in the garage that leads to the house. She swung the door open and stepped inside, Carlisle followed her. I stepped inside. It was so light and open.
"It's so light and open" I said my thoughts coming out of my mouth.
"We're glad you like it." Carlisle replied.
"Kids- give Edward a tour of the house while Carlisle and I fix a little lunch"
"Okay! Right this way" Alice chirped motioning for the others and me to follow. She led us down a hort hallway to a large room with a large television. A coffe table, end tables, a sofa, and a plasma screen television.
"This is the living room." I glanced around the room one more time before Alice began to exit and lead us to a very modern looking kitchen that a chef would be jealous of. It had everything a kitchen needed and more.
"the kitchen" Alice explained then lead us to a very elegant dining room. The table was very large. These people must like to entertain guests often I noted.
"We hardly ever use it but this is the dining room" Alice said and I was shocked- they didnt use it often? She led us out to the hallway and to a door.
"This is the only bathroom. 10 minutes only per person."
"Why?"
"That's a long dark road I'm not willing to go down" Alice replied.
We made our way through the first floor and now we made our way the stairs so we could get to the 2nd one- if we would have kept on going we would have gone up to the 3rd and then 4th floor . Once we were there I saw a long hallway with 3 doors. Alice opened the door closest to the stairs.
"My and jasper's room" Alice announced proudly. It was very girlie. Poor Jasper. We made our way to the next door.
"This is My and Emmett's room" Rosalie said. Alice then whispered in my ear, "don't go in there past 9 oclock at night". She shuttered. WHAT!?
"Shut up Alice. We heard that. You and Jasper are just as bad" Rosalie spat
"Arent you all like kin?" I whispered back to Alice
"No- Carlisle and Esme adopted us"
"oh"
That deffinately made me feel better.
We went to door farthest to the stairs.
"This is a guest room. We have one on every floor. You can stay in here if you like." Alice said.
This room had a large bed, bedside table, television, lamp, and sofa
"umm okay. I'll just sleep on the floor you all do." I stated
"Sure- you can go get your clothes and stuff when we finish the tour." Alice replied and smiled.
We made our way down the hallway and up the stairs to the 3rd floor.
This time instead of 3 doors I only saw 2. The rooms on this floor must have been huge.
"Rose you can give the tour of this floor." Alice said
"Sure"
We walked to the door closest the the stairs.
"This is the master bedroom. It belongs to Carlisle and Esme".
Esme sure did have a way with decorating. Their room was so pretty.
We walked to the other door.
"and this is the other guest room"
Inside this room was a bed, bedside table, a sofa, and television. The only thing from the other one was a lamp.
Once again we walked to the end of the hallway and up the stairs to the 4th and final floor.
"Jasper you take the first room and Emmett you take the other"
"okay" they said together.
When we reached the 4th floor I saw a long hallway and 2 doors again. We walked to the door closest to the stairs.
"Carlisle is a doctor and this is his study" Jasper stated.
There was a large mahogany desk and a black leather chair. There were paintings and diplomas all over the walls. On his desk were stacks of papers. So full yet so organized. There was also a bookshelf full of dictionaries and encyclapeidas.
We continued on to the other door.
"We love entertainment so this is our Entertainment Room." Emmett said as he opened the door.
There was no sofa or just shelves full of movies, and books, and CDs, and games. I was in heaven. I could tell that I was going to be spending a vast majority of my time in this room.
"Well that concludes the tour" Rosalie said.
"Yeh so you can go and get your stuff and unpack." Alice continued. We made our way to the first floor. I had dropped 2 suitcases and backpack my the garage door so I went to get them and made my way to the second floor. I went into my room and began to unpack. It was still raining outside. I hung all of my shirts and jackets up in the closet and put my shoes in the closet floor and put my jeans and boxers in the dresser drawer. I decided to lay on the bed and rest. I almost fell asleep when I heard a knock at the door.
"Lunch is done." Emmett said. I got out of the bed and opened the door then made my way to the kitchen. The food smelled delicious.
"I decided to go with something simple so I went with a burger and fries." Esme said and gave me a plate with food on it.
"Thank you- it smells delicious" I replied.
"Let's eat in the dining room today" Jasper said.
"Okay" Emmett replied.
Everyone came in with their plate of food and glass of pop and took a seat.
"So how are you enjoying Forks?" Rosalie asked after a moment of silence.
"It's okay. I like it" I answered truthfully.
"What about school Edward?" Esme asked.
"I'm in 11th grade in Germany" I said
"Umm..well what do you think about going to school tomorrow?" Carlisle continued
"okay" I said and shrugged.
"school starts tomorrow here so you came just in time. Rosalie and Emmett will be in 12th grade. Jasper and Alice will be in the same grade as you." Esme said
School in Germany was so hard hopefully it was easier here.
"You'll have to go to the main office to get your sceduale" Jasper said before taking a bit out of his burger.
"I can show you where it is" Rosalie continued.
"I can show you to your classes" Alice replied.
"Okay" I said eating 2 french fries at once.
I finished my burger and went up to my room. I looked at the clock that was sitting on the night stand. It read 6:00. I looked again. How could so much time pass so quickly. I arrived in Port Angeles at 12:00, 1 hour to get to Forks which makes it 1:00, the tour took 1 hour and 30 minutes, unpacking took 2 hours, and then 2 hours to eat so yeh I guess 6 o'clock seemed about right. I got kind of nervous about school but I knew I had nothing to worry about. With nothing better to do I decided to go up to the "Entertainment Room". I spent 3 hours in that room just reading and listening to music. They had some really old CD's and they had a CDs that were released this year and they had music from every genre. I was in heaven. They also had a very good taste in literature. I came back down to my room and layed in my bed and eventually fell asleep. That night I dreamed about Germany and my mother and father. I got very home sick. I discovered that maybe I didn't want to be here after all- it I had any chance of staying here I needed to find something to keep me here- and quick.
