Bella's POV
"Are you positive you don't need help moving in?" My friend, Jessica asked again.
I sighed, "I'm positive, you have work and I already have Jake here…"
At that precise moment, Jake a few more boxes into the truck and ran back upstairs for more. Jessica sighed too, "Okay, but next weekend I'm definitely visiting you!" I couldn't resist the chuckle that was itching to come out.
"See you then, love you!" I hung up the phone and walked back into the old apartment, room no. A2 and looked around my surrounds. It was a small but cozy apartment overlooking the park. Countless times I had sat on the window sill and watched little kids play happily in the park. Once, I had been one of them. I had played on those swings and slides that seemed so daunting at first, but with a little coaxing and consoling from my father, looked less frightening. Oh Charlie…
Almost everything had been packed up, leaving only a few last minute items. I was leaving from my hometown of Chicago, finally.
"Bells…" A very familiar deep voice called behind me, effectively jolting me out of my reverie.
"Yeah?"
"We have to hurry before the traffic piles up," Jake stated. I nodded once and grabbed a few more boxes. I didn't have many boxes, only a few books and clothes. We cleaned out the apartment around noon and it was time for me to head to my new home, my new start at life.
I turned to Jake and gave him a huge hug, well as huge as my small arms could manage. "I'm going to miss you Jake." I whispered into his chest. "Give my regards to Billy."
Jake grabbed me and gave me a quick peck on the lips. People that didn't know the relationship between me and Jake might think we were dating. But, we are far from it, more like brother and sister.
At last, I climbed into my truck and revved the engine. For the last time, I looked behind me and took a long glance at my old apartment, then let out a long sigh. So many memories in this city; some good, some bad. And some I really don't need to remember. I let the tear, which was dying to fall down my cheek, come down.
By the time I was in Forks, Washington, it was early morning the next day. I would have gotten there earlier if my truck wasn't so slow. I rolled down my window slowly only to be mobbed by chilly weather causing me to shiver slightly. I wrapped my jacket tighter around myself. No different from Chicago…great!
Brushing the long bangs of hair out of my way, I looked outside. The town was very grassy, with a lot of trees. I could smell the freshness of the air from inside my car. Inhaling deeply, I smiled. This was definitely different from . I stopped at a red light and started singing softly to the radio. The song however was one of my favourite dance numbers, and soon, I found myself jiggling a little in my seat. It was during this 'routine', that my gaze fell on the car next to me. It was a new car, a shiny new Volvo with dark tinted glass. Had Jake been here, he would have rattled off facts about its year, date of release, engine and so one. I missed Jake. I was jolted out of my reverie suddenly when the Volvo roared to life and speed away at what was probably a hundred miles per hour.
Stupid rich kids, I thought as I drove again.
I got to my apartment soon enough; it was an old fashion apartment with 18 floors. My flat was a two bedroom and two bathroom one that was surprisingly cheap. I got because of its rent, but I still didn't know what to do with the other room. I didn't have enough things to use it as a store room.
I got out my car and grabbed a few boxes from the back. As I walked to my truck, the shiny Volvo parked right next to me.
The door opened and a man who looked like he was in his early twenties stepped out. I could say that this man was good-looking, but that would be a huge understatement. I stopped right in my tracks when I saw his face. He had piercing green eyes, which were hard as stone. I could see muscles bulging from underneath his form-fitting shirt. I knew I was ogling, but as long as he didn't notice, I figured I might as well continue. He looked like a body-builder, but he wasn't overly bulky. But what attracted my attention the most was the unruly mop of reddish brown hair adorning his head. Well that, and his lips. His hair may have looked so soft and smooth, but his lips wer-
"Excuse me…" He said while he pushed his way through me. I winced a little when my shoulder slammed into my truck. What a JERK, I growled as I grabbed my bags.
I stomped into the building without even looking around and went into the elevator. As the doors started to close, I let out a sigh in relief. Alone at last. But apparently someone had it in for me today because just when the elevator was an inch away from closing, I saw a hand creep through the crack. The doors opened causing me to hold my breath as the Volvo jerk came in.
He was tossing his keys in the air while whistling. He looked so carefree for a moment that I had to force myself to forget how cute he was and focus on the fact he was a jerk. I was about to click on level 13 when a long pale finger clicked it first. I glanced at him slowly and saw him looking at me.
"What?" He snapped.
I turned around quickly and held my breath, trying to keep my temper in check. He was staring at me first! The Jerk…
Thankfully, the doors opened again soon. I stepped off and walked down the hallway. F13…F13…F13… my mental chant continued while I searched swiftly for my apartment. Once I glanced behind me and saw 'The Jerk' behind me. I started to walk quicker in an effort to lose him when I spotted it. I smiled then grabbed my keys from my pocket. The Jerk was heading toward me with a strange expression.
I opened the door and entered quickly. With a satisfying click, the lock slid into place and, heaving a sigh of relief, I leaned against the door. But that moment was gone as soon as a soft knock came on the door. What the…? I looked in the peephole, anxiously and saw The Jerk. Why is he standing there? Go away! I thought as I watched him look at the door with a frown. Then he knocked on the door again, very softly. I frowned.
"What do you want?"
"Just open the door," His voice was thick with irritation.
I slowly opened the door and poked my head out the door frame. "Yes?" I asked, with curiosity. Does he want my number? My heart started to race and the palm of my hands was getting sweaty. I was very bad at these situations.
"Get the hell out my house!" His voiced boomed.
Now completely perplexed, I frowned again, "This is my apartment. Maybe you need to call your landlord…" What was he talking about? I had proof this was my apartment. He swiftly grabbed his phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, Mrs. Keller," he started after a short pause, "Yes, I-…But, this I-…What?...Yeah…But…Fine!" He rambled something under his breath. "What happened?" I asked.
"There was a mistake; she rented the apartment to both you and me. She said it will be awhile until she can get an apartment for me." He shook his head.
I nodded slowly then, realization hit me .I was going to have to live in this apartment with this…hot jerk! I froze, even after he pushed the door open making me wobble slightly. I may have had a panic attack or two while The Hot Jerk rambled on without even looking at me.
"My siblings are coming over in a few,"
Finally, I turned toward him slowly, and then glared at him. I growled softly then, stomped out the house slamming the door behind me. Muttering a string of profanities under my breath, I went back to my truck and grabbed a few more boxes. It would be nice if jerk-face would come help me a little… I thought while walking to the elevator. But of course, eh had more important things to do…like playing on his mobile.
By the time I was done, my arms and legs were completely sore and wanted nothing more than to lie down. I glared as jerk-face continued to play on his phone, occasionally chuckling about something. I stomped into my room and looked around; then I sighed…again. I seemed to be doing a lot of that today.
The room was perfect, right to the blue paint on the wall down to the creamy white carpet. There was a wide window that showed only trees and a little pond on the other side on the town. We were so high up that it was making me slightly dizzy. In a word – heavenly.
I unpacked my boxes and placed them in organized piles around my room. I desperately needed furniture …
Just as I was finishing, I heard a huge slam of the apartment door. I had completely forgotten that a stranger was sitting in the living room of my apartment! I tip-toed into the living room, then stopped in my tracks when I saw four new bodies sitting in my living room.
"Heeyy!" A booming voice exclaimed. "You must be the new roommate! I heard A LOT about you! I'm Emmett," The huge male to whom the voice belonged said as he walked towards me. He gave me a huge hug, which left me feeling numb and confused.
"Emmett, get off her now!" A black spiky hair girl walked toward us. She was wearing a pair of sunglasses and a blue spring dress with a small white jacket. She pushed the big guy off me, and smiled at me.
"I'm Alice and this is Jasper" she said pointing to the blond guy sitting on the floor next to jerk-face. "and that over there is Rosalie." She pointed to the blond girl applying on lip gloss.
I nodded once but, still uncomfortable. "Hi…I'm Bella." I said while looking down. Damn my shyness! I yelled in my head. The black haired one (Alice?), left up my chin and smiled at me. She had taken off her sunglasses and her eyes were the same piercing green as jerk-face. "Let's be friends, okay?" She chirped; her eyes were welcoming.
"Edward! You didn't tell me that she was so shy! We'll change that as quickly as possible," The big one said with a huge smile. I blush slightly, and then turned around to go to my room. Wow, they hate me and it's been 3 minutes…
"Wait! Don't mind him…he's a jack-ass just like Edward," Alice giggled. Edward must be jerk-face, but his name doesn't match him. "Hey! No one asked you to come, Alice! I need help bringing my stuff up!" Edward growled while walking out. Emmett followed soon after then the blond haired one.
"Where's your room?" Alice asked while running around the living room. Considering the rent, the living room was pretty big. Alice and Rosalie helped me unpacked my things and helped Edward move in some stuff too. We were done after a few hours and they decided to call it a day.
Alice was probably the only fun one out of all of them. Emmett scared the crap out of me and Rosalie and Jasper were pretty quiet. When they left, I looked around at all the boxes that were piled up in mostly every room. Compared to his things, I had next to nothing.
Edward sighed then looked up at me, "You want to help me or what?"
Ass-hole! I thought, as I glared at him. "Sorry, I think I need to get my things organized…"
"Wait!" He yelled after me as I stomped away.
I turned my head and rolled my eyes, "What?"
He smirked at me then ran his hand through his hair. "What's your name?"
"Bella Swan…" I said, and then walked away. I looked down at what I was wearing then winced. I met his whole family while wearing my faded baggy jeans and a 'Linkin Park' T-shirt that. I growled again as I grabbed my towel and jogged into the bathroom.
There goes my fresh new start…
