"There I sat in the forest with a broken ankle. Silently, I cursed coming to Forks. But, Bella had asked me to and I couldn't disappoint her. "Damn…when I find Isabella I'm gonna kill her." I said. "Take that, Bella. Oh yeah, I went there." I thought. The letter I'd gotten had been exactly what I needed. An escape. Trust Isa to invite me out to visit when I needed to get away. Forks, Washington. God's secret hell hole…seriously, everything was too green. Except that…orange? No…bronze…
A young man stopped in front of me. He was very handsome. He was laughing at me…I frowned. "You must be Bella's friend." he said. Thinking quickly, I processed through Bella's tons of letters. Bronze hair, golden eyes, voice of velvet…Edward Cullen. "You must be the Edward keeping my Bella from me." I said. Edward smiled. "Your Bella, huh?" He asked. "Yeah. My Bella. She was mine before you knew her." I said. "Your point?" He asked, helping me up. "I'll kick your ass if you try to take my Bella from me, Cullen." I said. I stood up gingerly. No weight on my right ankle…pain! I flinched. "You okay?" He asked. "My ankle is broken." I said. "Let's get you to the hospital." Edward said. "Okay. I'm pretty clumsy." I said. "I've been dating Bella for a while. You can't be that clumsy." He said. "You have no idea." I said. He smiled and I had to agree with Bella. He did have an amazing smile. Edward helped me to the famous silver Volvo. I laughed. Bella and I had had a joke about Volvos in Phoenix….oh, Isa… "Something funny?" He asked. "Nothing at all, Edward. I was just thinking about Bella. I've missed her." I said.
Edward drove me to the hospital in his Volvo…I still laughed at that. My ankle was killing me, but Edward was helping support me. "If you'd let me carry you, you wouldn't be in pain." He said. "No. I hate being carried." I said. "No wonder Bella is so excited about you coming to visit." He said. "First thing I'm doing is kicking Isabella's butt for sending me to somewhere so green." I said. "Bella." He corrected. "Isa." I said. "Isa?" he asked. "Yeah. She's always been Isa to me. Of course, everyone else calls her Bella. I'm probably the only one who can get away with calling her Isa or Isabella." I said. "You know, I don't think I caught your name." He said. "Chai." I said. "Chai? Like the tea?" He asked. I glared at him. "That'd be a no." He said.
We got my ankle wrapped. I rolled my eyes. I could see why Bella was so in love with Edward. He was perfect for her. "So, I bet you want to see Bella." He said. "Yeah!" I exclaimed. I bounced up and down on my toes, surprisingly, no pain in the ankle. "Remind me to introduce you to Alice." He said. "Your sister? I've heard about her. I'll get along well with her. Won't I?" I asked. "You two will get along very well." He said. I smiled. I was excited to see Bella, but I really wanted to meet the rest of Edward's family. Bella thought I would like Alice, Jasper and Edward's father. "So tell me a little about your family, Edward." I said. "What don't you know?" He asked. "Well, I know that Rosalie is blonde and a little self absorbed. She's with Emmett. Emmett is huge, strong and gives death grip hugs and has an odd sense of humor. I know that Alice is obsessed with shopping and fashion and she's with Jasper. Jasper is a little nervous and he's very quiet. I know your mother's name is Esme and she is super sweet and loves everyone. But, all I know is your father is a doctor in town." I said.
"Bella didn't tell you his name?" Edward asked. "No. She said I would know him when I met him." I replied. "Oh. Well then, we'll respect Bella's wishes." He said. "Well, you're no help." I said. "Sorry." He said. We pulled up to their house. "Wow. Bella wasn't kidding. This place is amazing." I said. Edward laughed. "Come on. Careful on the ankle. I don't want Bella thinking it was my fault." He said. "Jerk." I said. Edward pulled me into his arms and carried me inside. "Edward Cullen, put me down now!" I yelled. "Not gonna happen." He replied. I squeezed my eyes shut…heights…I hated heights.
