Icon=folder Chapter one: Home Sweet Home EPOV I was so excited to be going home. It's spring break and when I go back to school I'll be starting my residency. Right now I'm just happy to be going to see friends and family. It had been two years since I'd been home to visit everybody.
As soon as I stepped out of baggage claim I saw my mother, Esme, trying to peek over everybody's heads. Beside her stood my father, Carlisle. I smiled as I walked toward them. As soon as my mother saw me she rushed over and hugged me, tears streaming down her face, and beaming up at me. My dad came over and hugged me as well. "Welcome home, son," he says with a huge smile.
"Thanks. Where's Alice?"
"She's at the house. How was your flight?" my mom asks.
"It was fine. I brought you a souvenir," I told her as I reached my hand in my pocket. "Rare airplane peanuts." As I handed her the package of peanuts both her and my father started laughing. I chuckled when she thanked me for them and then asked "Is she still seeing Jasper?"
My mother laughed, "Oh yes. I wouldn't be surprised if he proposed tomorrow."
"Well we can't have that, can we? I think it's time I gave Jasper the big brother speech," I said playfully. She just rolled her eyes and my father and I laughed.
"How about you, Edward? Why didn't you bring a lady friend along?" My father inquired, laughter still evident in his voice. By this time we had finally reached the car, so I got in then threw my head back in exasperation. "Women," I groaned. "Way too much drama." My father laughed but my mother's face fell slightly.
"It's time you found a nice girl, Edward. Maybe we should set you up with Rosalie, Alice's friend. What do you think, Carlisle?" She asked him but I interrupted before he could answer.
"No blind dates mom," I stated firmly.
"Fine, you'll see her at the party anyway," she retorted, folding her arms across her chest.
"What party?" In the next second she brought her hand to her mouth, her eyes going wide, and a quite "oops" escapes her lips. Carlise and I laughed and the rest of the car ride home was filled with laughter and talk about my residency.
When we arrived at the house I left my bags in the car and went straight to the door. I opened the door and the lights were off. After I flipped the switch everybody jumped out from behind furniture and from behind corners and yelled "Welcome Home Eddie!!" There was a banner in the middle of the room that said the same thing. There were streamers all across the room. When I heard a loud pop I looked to the corner of the room where my best friend, Emmett, stood with a bottle of champagne in his hands, spraying the foam on a bunch of girls. I laughed.
"Hey everyone," I beamed. I walked around the room saying hi to everybody. Alice introduced me to Rosalie. She was very beautiful. Super model beautiful, but I prefer brunettes. Finally I was able to talk to Emmett. He told me all about his architecture career. He loves his job because besides designing buildings he gets to travel a lot. He just got back from England last month. Then he told me about his girlfriend, Isabella. She wasn't here yet but he told me that when she arrived I had to meet her.
An hour later Emmett hit me on the shoulder, interrupting my conversation with a pretty girl named Tanya. "Hey. Bella's here," he said excitedly. He had a big goofy grin on his face so I turned towards the door to see who had him so head-over-heals. And when I saw her I couldn't pick my mouth up off the floor. She was a goddess. Rosalie was nothing compared to her. I was so fucked.
