Chapter 1
Forks Washington. It was cold, dark, gloomy. My kind of weather. I lived in California so it was pretty much sunny for the most part. I loved rain more than sunshine. I liked to be inside and just watch as the rain drippings fell along the window...My father had just passed away and my mother and I were coming to live here with my grandmother. A fresh new start. As much as I loved this gloomy weather and the forestry, I loved California more.
I missed my friends, my old school, my old home...Living here is definitely going to be an experience. I hate change, and I always will.
I sat here in the car, almost being crushed by piles of boxes.
"Here we are" My mother said. She pulled into the driveway of an old two story home.
The house looked old, the white paint was chipped and the porch looked worn out. The gate was black, a little rusty but roses grew along side it.
The house wouldn't look so bad if someone fixed it up a bit. "Its not that bad...now come on! I need you to help unload boxes before it gets dark"
My mother said. I nodded and got out of the car. The cold air touched my cheeks, sending goosebumps. I rubbed my hands together for warmth and the opened up the backseat. I grabbed one of the boxes and headed towards the porch.
"Gosh mom. What did you pack, rocks?" I said.
"Oh shut it! come on! exercise! lift with your legs!" She chuckled. I sighed and smiled. "Okay. Now to get the door open..." I shifted the heavy box just a little to be able to reach my hand out..."Hello my darlings!" "GAH! AH. Holy sh-"
The door slammed open and I lost my grip on the box. The heavy box came crashing down on my foot. "Evelyn! Oh Im sorry my dear" My grandmother apologized. "Ah..Ah..Get. This. Box. Off. My. FOOT!" I yelled. "Evelyn?" My mother ran up to me. "Im sorry. Im so sorry" My mother helped remove the box off my foot. "Ah. It hurts! What the hell do you got in there?" I shrieked. "Dont say "hell" and Im not sure..maybe my bowling things?" My mother said. "Ah. I need to sit down"
Both my mother and grandmother helped me to the couch. My foot was throbbing in pain. Slowly my mother removed my shoe and sock.
"Its bruised all right" She said. My foot was purple and maybe twice its size. "Can you move it?" She asked. "Ah. Barely" I tried to curl my toes but it was too painful. "Should we take her to get it checked out?" Mom asked, Grandma Penny. "It looks pretty bad" She responded.
"Its okay. Im okay. Dont wo-" I tried to stand up but the pain made me unable to. "Ouch" I muttered. "Maggie why dont you go and bring the rest of the boxes in. I'll take her" Grandama said. "Im fine" I mumbled. "Stop being stubborn. Your going"
"Its getting late. We dont-" "Evelyn. Come on, just let your grandmother take you. I'll be fine" My mother said. I sighed. "Fine. Lets go"
I was sitting in the waiting room. I was bored out of my mind, followed by the pain of my throbbing foot. My grandmother looked like she was gonna fall asleep any minute now...I just sat here tapping my fingers on my thighs. Then suddenly this girl walked in. She was small and petite, with short black hair. Her eyes were like gold and her skin pale white. She smiled and sat down right next to me. It was complete silence after that. I tapped my fingers once again and stared at the ceiling. I sighed and began making clicking noises with my tongue.
The girl suddenly turned to me. "Hello" She kindly said. "Hello?" I replied.
"Im Alice" She held out her hand for me to shake it.
"Evelyn"
"Thats a pretty name! So what are you in for?" She asked.
"My foot, I busted it" I said.
"Oh, my father will take a good look at it. I promise" She smiled.
"Your father?"
"My father's Dr. Cullen" She said.
"Oh, thats nice. Are you here visiting him?"
"Yes, I am. You know, I havent seen you around before. Are you new?" I nodded. "I just moved here today. This little accident happend while unloading boxes" I said. "Oooh. Im sorry. It's very nice meeting you! Forks maybe small and gloomy, but its the perfect little town" She said.
"I like the forests and the rain" I said. "Im glad you do. Where did you use to live?" She asked.
"California" I replied. "I love California! Especially Los Angeles. They have the cutest shops down there" She said.
"I actually lived in Los Angeles"
"Awesome!"
"So how old are you?" I asked. "Nineteen. You?" She replied. "Eighteen. Just graduated actually"
"Congratulations! You know, I really like you" "You do?"
"Totally! We should hangout some time" "Yeah, we should" I said. Alice was full of so much energy. It was like she was related to the energizer bunny... I liked her though. She seemed fun, sweet.
"Actually, theres going to be a party at my house tomorrow. Its my sisters birthday" She said. "Oh well, tell her I said Happy Birthday"
"Why dont you come over!" She asked. "I umm-" "Here's my number and address" She interrupted. She grabbed a piece of paper out of her purple prada bag. She didnt even have to write it down. It was like she was expecting this or something. A party invitation in her bag all up and ready. "Evelyn Walker" The nurse called. "Here! See you tomorrow!" Alice said. "Huh? What? Who stole my banana!" My grandmother awoke.
"Come on Granny, time to go in" I said. "Oh. Okay" She helped me up and I wrapped my arm around her shoulder. "It was nice meeting you" Alice said. I nodded. "Nice meeting you too" I replied.
I walked into the doctors office and sat on what seemed like toilet seat paper. It made crinkly sounds while I adjusted myself.
"Ms. Walker" The doctor came in. He was young and very handsome. Like Alice, he was also very pale with the same golden eyes.
"Hello Dr. Cullen. Im afraid my grand daughter has hurt her foot" Grandmother said. "Hello, Mrs Verona. I can see...hmm" He examined.
"I met your daughter Alice" I said. "Oh yes. She's very friendly" He chuckled. "Yes she is. She invited me to your other daughter's party"
"Why thats lovely. Are you going to stop by?" He asked. "Ah! Ouch" I bit my lip as he moved my foot around. "Maybe" I squealed.
"Hmmm... Its just a sprain" Dr. Cullen said. "And it would be great if you came. Lots of fun and food. We have some heavy eaters coming over" He chuckled. My grandmother looked at me confusingly. She was asleep while I was talking to Alice. Dr. Cullen was very nice and gentle. His voice was calming as he wrapped my foot up with gauze.
"The pain will be reduced by tomorrow. It'll still hurt, just not as much" He said. I nodded. "You know dear, I think I might have some crutches in the attic" Granny said. "That sounds great" He smiled. "If you do come by tomorrow, Its not best for you to be on your foot for a long time"
"Oh." I sighed. "We'll make sure to have extra seats" He said. I smiled, "Thank you"
"You have a very wonderful grand daughter Mrs. Verona" He said. "Why thank you. She takes after me" She joked. They both laughed and I couldnt help but smile. "My dear Evelyn and my daughter are actually coming to live here with me" Granny said. "Ah, then welcome to Forks" He smiled.
Welcome to Forks. Home sweet home. Now tomorrow...hmm..Should I stay or should I go? Alice was very nice, and her father was just great.
There was something odd about them though. I cant quite put my finger on it.
