Ellie POV.
The rain poured down onto the ground with great force, the wind howled in my ears and blew my dark hair across my face. I looked up towards the sky, the droplets of rain covering my face, it was dark and miserable.
Forks, Washington, USA. The last place on Earth that you would want to end up in. However, for me, it is the perfect place. After decades of fighting, politics and having to deal with my chaotic family, I look forward to a life of peace and quiet.
I sigh as I carefully made my way up the steps of my old home, I had lived here once. Many years ago, for when everything was so calm and happy. Once I was stood outside the front door, I pulled my key out and opened it. I walked inside and flipped the light switch, the large hallway was illuminated by an uncovered flickering light bulb.
Huh, the electrics still work I thought as I shut the door behind me.
I looked around, the light blue wallpaper had begun peeling around the corners and cobwebs hung from the ceiling, the wooden floor looked as though it would crumble beneath the lightest of touches. I shrugged and I walked further into the house, placing my duffel bag onto the floor I turned right into the living room and flipped the switch. The furniture was covered by large white sheets, the large window on the right wall needed cleaning and the cabinets needed dusting. I stepped over towards the couch and pulled off the sheet, a cloud of dust leapt into the air at the sudden disturbance. The sheet revealed a three seater beige couch, the cushions needed washing or perhaps replacing.
I sighed as I folded the sheet and placed it on the back of the couch, I walked over to the large window. I pulled down the sleeve of my jacket and wiped away the grime that had appeared on the window. I peered outside, looking around to see if everything was in place. My car was still parked in the driveway and there was only movement created by the wind, the rain still poured down harshly. I let out a shaky breath and looked away from the window and down at the floor, it was quiet, too quiet.
I was not used to this and I became suddenly nervous, worried that something or someone would jump out at any moment. I squeezed my eyes shut and I wrapped my arms around myself in an attempt to calm my nerves, I opened my eyes and I peered out of the window again. Everything appeared to be the same.
Get a fucking hold of yourself! You're not there anymore! I harshly told myself, I sighed and walked away from the window. I looked around the room, there was a lot of work to be done.
First of all I need a shower I reminded myself, I walked back into the hallway and grabbed my duffel bag and headed off upstairs for a shower.
Thank fuck the water still works I thought as I lathered myself in my shower gel, I washed my hair and rinsed it out. I turned off the shower and stepped out, I grabbed a towel and wrapped myself in it. I walked out of the bathroom and into my bedroom, it was a large room with a large double bed in the middle. My vanity/desk was sat opposite the bed and my wardrobes were situated to the left of the bed, I walked over to my duffel bag and pulled out some clothes.
I pulled up my dark grey sweat pants and put on an old blue t-shirt, I tied my wet hair up in a bun. I rubbed my hands over my face and I sighed.
Why did I decide to go back to school? I thought to myself as I crawled on top of my bed, I sat up against the head board and stared ahead. I had decided to go back to Forks High, the first day back was tomorrow and I was dreading it. All the loud noises, the crowds of students and worst of all Jessica Stanley. I remembered all the times she tried to invade my personal life and promptly made up a load of bullshit stories, for when I obviously refused to divulge any details. Knowing full well that it would be all over town in a matter of seconds.
The only reason I was going back was because it gave me something to do, it made me feel normal and it helped to block out all of those horrible memories. I looked over to my night stand and picked up my copy of 'To Kill a Mocking Bird' and began reading it, whilst trying to block out the thoughts of going back tomorrow.
I pulled up into a parking space in the middle of the lot, I looked out of my windscreen at the large building that was Forks High. Crowds of students began pouring into the building, I recognised a few. I sighed as I grabbed my bag and stepped out of my car. A few heads turned my way, they began whispering to their friends.
"Oh my God, is that Ellie Gwynne?!" one of them loudly whispered. I rolled my eyes and walked off, I have no time for gossip especially if it concerns me. I made my way to the front office, I needed to get my new time table. I entered the brightly lit room and walked over to the front desk, there stood a large red headed woman with glasses.
I smiled. "Hello Mrs Cope, long time no see," I said still smiling.
Mrs Cope jumped slightly at the sound of my voice, she peered over the edge of her glasses and a large smile spread across her face, she walked over to me. "Hello Ellie, my my you have not changed a bit! I must admit I was surprised to see your name again, I didn't think it was you at first!" she said shaking her head slightly. "I take it you want your new time table?"
I nodded. "Yes please," I said, I shuffled my feet as I waited for her to find my time table. She rummaged through a pile of papers, until she pulled out a small bundle of forms that were paper clipped together.
She handed them to me. "I trust you know your way around still?" I nodded. "Good, well then please return the green form to me at the end of day."
I thanked her and exited the office, I looked down at my timetable and saw that I had English with Mr Mason, I smiled to myself. He will not be happy to see me again I thought to myself as I chuckled.
I walked into the building, as I did someone bumped into me and they almost went flying. My arms stretched out and I grabbed them by the waist, wrapping my arms around them and steadying us both. I felt a pair of hands clinging the front of my jacket. I looked down and was met with dark chocolate brown eyes, the young woman's face blushed a deep red as I stared at her. I stood her up straight and then let go, stepping back a few paces.
"You should watch where you are going," I said softly as I readjusted my jacket, the young woman blushed even more, if that was possible. There was a moment of silence as she readjusted herself.
"I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to run into you!" her voice was soft yet full of embarrassment, her face was turned away from me, she was looking down at the ground.
I smiled. "Don't worry about it," I said winking at her, she looked up and blushed again. I smiled and walked off into the direction of the my English class. The classroom had just begun to fill up. I was pulled out of my thoughts by a loud gasp.
"You're back!" shouted Mr Mason, I looked up at his shocked expression and smirked.
"Yes I am Mr Mason, it is lovely see you again," I said smiling even more as he frowned at me.
He pointed at one of the empty desks at the back of the classroom. "That is your desk, and no funny business," he said sternly as I sauntered off and sat down at my desk.
The rest of the morning was a blur, a welcome distraction and a wonderful sense of calm and normality had woven its way into my mind. I sighed happily as the bell rang for lunch, throughout the morning I had run into a few old faces, including one Jessica Stanley.
"Ellie! Oh my God you're back!" she squealed happily as she wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me down for a hug. I patted her back lightly and pulled away quickly. "You must come and sit with me and the others at lunch!" Jessica grabbed hold of my hand pulled me in the direction of the cafeteria, I huffed annoyed that I was being pulled around like a rag doll.
Once we were in the cafeteria she let go of me and waved to a group of people that were sat in the middle of the cafeteria.
"Come on, this way!" Jess said as she hurriedly made her way to the table, I sighed and followed her. Once there I stood next to Jessica as she excitedly re-introduced me to the people. "Guess who's back? Ellie!"
There were a few murmurs and shocked faces.
"Hey, Ellie! It's really good to see you again!" I turned towards my left and saw Angela Webber, I smiled at her and bent down to give her a hug.
"Hey Ang, it's good to see you too," I said pulling away from her. "Where are you sitting?"
"Over here, next to Bella," she said as she gestured for me to sit down next to this Bella girl. I sat down and placed my bag on the floor, I looked towards my right and saw Mike Newton staring at me.
"You haven't changed a bit Ellie!" he said smiling, he slid over so that he was sat opposite me. "Where have you been hiding?" he asked as he took a sip from his drink.
"Well I've been here, there and everywhere," I said vaguely. He rolled his eyes and took another sip of his drink before setting it down.
"Always with the same vague answers El," he said shaking his head. "Be careful Jess doesn't start spreading rumours again."
I laughed, "Don't worry about her, if she does it again I'll be having words." I laughed again and shook my head. I was suddenly taken out of my thoughts by the same soft voice I heard earlier.
"Hey Mike are you going to introduce us to your new friend here?" she asked, Mike snapped his head up and looked at the young woman. I could see it clearly in his eyes, he had a crush. I internally laughed, I remember the days when he had a crush on me.
Thank God he got over that one, otherwise I would have had to- I was pulled from thoughts by the mention of my name.
"This Ellie Gwynne, she used to attend this school but left for some mysterious reason," said Mike smiling at the young woman. "Hey Ellie, this is Bella Swan, the Chiefs daughter."
My eyes widened slightly as I looked at those same chocolate brown eyes, the same blush crept over her face as from before. I smiled slightly, she was easily embarrassed then. I chuckled to myself.
"It's nice to meet you," I said, deciding on not mentioning our previous meeting. I didn't want to embarrass her any further.
"And we are the Cullen's!" said a chirpy voice. I looked up and I was met with a pair of golden eyes, the young woman had short black spiky hair and very pale skin.
She smiled at me. "I'm Alice Cullen, and this is my brother Emmett!" she said gesturing towards a big burly guy with short black hair and the same golden coloured eyes, I nodded in acknowledgement. Alice continued, "This is my sister Rosalie and my brother Edward." I nodded towards them both, Rosalie had long wavy blonde hair and Edward had messy bronze coloured hair. They too had the same pair of golden coloured eyes. I was pulled from my observing thoughts by Alice introducing another member of her family.
"And this is Jasper, my boyfriend!" she said with a big smile on her face, I looked towards her right and there sat a young man with many scars on his face, he had shaggy blonde hair and again the same pair of golden coloured eyes. However, I knew the moment I saw his face that this young man was no human.
That bastard! Jasper Fucking Whitlock! The same one who caused all that chaos with that newborn army! I thought to myself furiously, I had to keep calm. I kept my face blank, devoid of any emotion. I nodded towards him, not trusting my voice.
I looked around them all again, taking in everything, their appearance, the way they moved. I listened out for any heart beats.
They don't have one! That can't be! I internally screamed at myself, I knew of only one explanation and that was they were vampires. I was again pulled from thoughts as I noticed, from the corner of my eye that the Edward boy was kissing the Bella girl on the head.
That was when it hit me, a human and a vampire together?! That can not be! I shook my head and realised that I needed to get out here.
I got up from seat. "Listen it's been nice to meet you all but I have a few things I need to sort out," I said as I walked off and out of the cafeteria.
Now what do I do?! I mentally shouted at myself, all the plans I had for a quiet life were beginning to crumble. I walked outside and hurriedly made my way to my car, I opened it and sat down in my seat. I slammed the door shut, and stared out of the windscreen.
What the fuck do I do now? Why me? Why can't I have some fucking peace and quiet?! I thought angrily, to top it all off I had the problem of that Jasper guy. What do I do if he recognises me? Do I kill him? Or just deny it? I sighed angrily as I placed my forehead on the steering wheel. I squeezed my eyes shut.
What the hell do I do?
