"I can't belief that Bella's father bought the story with her tripping. I mean come on...how can someone be so damn clumsy?"
"Yeah I know right! What I can't buy either is that the producers thought that Jackson Rathbone is not as pretty as Robert Pattinson...why didn't they just let him be Edward?"
"Are you kidding? Robert Pattinson is damn fine!"
Great! This was my life since 'Twilight' appeared in all cinemas. I don't know if my friends ever talked about something else than Twilight.
I don't even know what was so special about 'Twilight'. I watched it myself and couldn't figure out why all the girls were swooning over it and the most disturbing was that even guys found themselves obsessed with this Bella chick. It literally left me out of every conversation that my friends had, which funnily made them keep a distance from me since they only wanted to talk about the movie.
Oh and guess what,...four more are to follow.
School was finally over and I couldn't wait to get home. All those hormones being suddenly visible as everyone tried to wear Cullen crests or Edward T-shirts
I finally reached and dropped my bag with a sigh in the middle of the hallway: "Mum? Dad? I'm home."
"I'm in the kitchen, Genesis." My mum called out to me and I walked towards her seeing her busy cooking our dinner.
"How was school today?" she asked with a smile.
"Like always, annoying and boring."
She chuckled a bit before she suddenly widened her eyes as if she remembered something: "Oh I bought you something."
She hurried out for a second before she returned with an all to known bag of a book store I always went to.
"Have I done something right that you got me something or did you do something wrong?" I laughed a bit before I hugged her.
"No, I just thought...well you like books and since well. Let me rephrase, you don't take drugs, you don't drink alcohol, you have good grades and you follow our rules. I want you to know that I'm really thankful that you behave and such."
I furrowed my eyebrows: "Did something happen today?"
Her expression suddenly changed into a sad traumatic one: "Today they brought in a kid. he was your age. He looked worn out, only skin and bones. Dark circles under his eyes. His heart was infected with bacteria from a dirty needle, he was a junkie. When I saw him, I was so thankful that I will never be in such a situation."
I only hugged my mum again. My mum was a nurse, a good one. I never saw a better one. She was often confronted with tough situations in the hospital and it was not the first time she brought those depressing feelings home. There were cases that even left me shocked, but mum said it was okay, it made her realize how lucky we were and how good our lives are.
She was right but this was the very first time she said herself that I was a good daughter. I never doubted that she knew it but I guess she wanted to show me for real now.
"Thanks mum, I love you too!" I told her before parting.
"Alright, go and change, dinner will be in no time and your father will come home soon."I nodded and made my way upstairs to my room, while reaching for my school bag that still lay in the middle of the hallway.
I threw it randomly into my room and sat all excited onto my bed and looked into the bag my mum gave me.
I reached for the book and pulled it out, eager to find out what my mum thought was a good reading and sat there dumbstruck upon the title.
"No fucking way!" I announced annoyed.
'Twilight' was written all over the damn book. You got to be kidding me. I threw the book onto my bed, sighing annoyed.
I can only imagine that dumb woman that worked there recommending this book to my mum. I laid back, throwing one arm over my eyes.
"It will take years until this shit will be finally over." if it continues like this I might as well just move to Africa where no one heard of Twilight...or maybe they did...at this point I can't even be sure any more. Without me realizing it I fell asleep.
"Hey, Gen? Come on we're home." Home? What the heck? I knew that I was at home.
I slowly opened my eyes to be met by a man that stood beside me. Wait? Was I in a car? What the heck?
I looked towards the man. He had dark short hair that was a bit curly and a moustache over his lip.
"Hey, Gen. Come on you can sleep in your bed." he rubbed my arm in a comforting way.
I furrowed my eyebrows. What was even happening? I looked around and found myself even more confused.
"Wow, Bella wasn't kidding about you being not yourself when you wake up. You okay there?"
Bella? Freaking Bella? Was this some kind of joke? But how did I end up here?
Suddenly a girl opened the door on the other side: "What did I tell you dad? She is always like this when she wakes up."
This must be her father...but what was his freaking name...ugh what the hell. How is this possible.
Her father stepped aside allowing me to get out of the car.
I looked around, this can't be a freaking joke this is real.
"Come on you can continue sleeping in your room." Her father closed the door and walked into the house while Bella and I followed. Well what should I do? I can hardly just run off, can I? I don't know what was happening nor did I know where I was. I forgot the name of freaking town it all occurred in.
He walked up the stairs opening the first door: "Bella...I redecorated it a bit. It was still the same since you left."
Bella walked in and looked around while I still watched them in amazement. This was real. God damn this must be a dream than. Everything was so real though.
"Come on Gen." Her father led me off to the other door right beside this one and opened it: "I changed yours as well..." wait what? He changed my room? How did I even have a room here? How the heck do I know them at all?
I walked in as well. It was just like Bella's room. The colours were different though. While she had green painted walls that could be also described as bluish, mine were Violette or lavender. I had two desks painted in white and my bed was just like mine at home. For maximum two people and only if they like to cuddle.
I turned around and saw Bella's father standing there nervously.
"It's perfect! I love it! Thank you." I said and made him sigh in relief.
"Alright I leave you guys alone so you can settle in."
And he left my room. I walked up to the window looking out and seeing the forest right before me. This can't be real. This must be a dream!
"So? What do you think?" the voice of Bella suddenly announced behind me.
I turned around seeing her sitting on my bed. I slowly joined her but only to be sure that I wouldn't faint.
"It's nice. Something different."
She looked around my room and nodded: "Yes, we should call mum and tell her that we're okay."
Mum? WE should call MUM? Are we related?
It would make sense though, why else would I be living with them. Okay so...I am in freaking Twilight and I am Bella's sister? Now I was sure that this was a dream. My mind was mocking me. The book from my mum was just too much.
"Will you call her?" I asked her not wanting to speak to my "mother" right now.
Suddenly we heard sounds from outside and we made our way to the window seeing two people beside a red truck talking to "our" father.
Riiiiiight this was the native guy and his father and the famous red truck that suddenly all girls wanted, instead of a normal car that was in a good shape.
"Come on let's check this out." Bella grabbed my wrist and led me with her outside.
Oh god...can't I just wake up? Like now?
"Hey girls, look who's here. I hope you remember Billy and his son Jacob." 'our' father said with a grin.
"Yeah, Jacob..."
The boy had a shy smile while he looked at us both before saying: "yeah we used to make mud pies." Okay awkward. In the movie it wasn't that awkward.
I had to hold back my laughter upon seeing him realize how stupid that sounded.
"So what do you girls think?" we turned around to 'father'. It really was annoying that I forgot his name. I always had to refer to him as father which was just as awkward as Jacobs slip up right now.
He nodded towards the truck and looked at Bella who held a smile: "Really?" she walked towards it and looked into the truck. I followed her and did my best to look surprised: "This is awesome." I announced sounding as if I meant it while I still was impatient to get out of this dream.
"It's awesome dad thank you!"
"it really is thanks, dad" Okay the dad part sounded awkward though.
He grinned happily before Billy finally said something: "Charlie was scared that you girls wouldn't like it. I told you that they will." CHARLIE! that was his freaking name! oh my god! I had to hold myself back from screaming it out.
"Hey let's drive a bit around." Bella announced and I only nodded eagerly. This was maybe my opportunity to get out of this dream. I run up to the co-drivers seat and jumped in. I already scooted to the middle but upon seeing that Jacob wasn't coming with us like in the movies I looked out of the window seeing him still standing beside his father: "Hey, you coming?" he looked at me surprised but soon a wide smile spread all over his face. Jacob took the free space beside me.
"So, you want a lift to school tomorrow?" Bella asked him.
"No, I'm attending the one in the Reservation." we nodded awkwardly. I couldn't remember this part in the movie and just nodded.
Guess what...there was no freaking way out. I sat there in the middle of those two fictional characters being suddenly fictional as well...I never woke up from this dream during the whole ride and so I tried to involve myself in the conversations as good as I can.
When we dropped Jacob off in La Push (still thinking that it was an awful name) we went home.
And so I figured, maybe if I just went to sleep that I would wake up in my world again, finally getting dinner that my mum promised and not reading the book that she bought but getting another one, because I was sure as hell not reading it after this experiences.
And so I went to 'my' room and got into the bathroom which I apparently was the only one in the whole house.
I looked into the mirror and stood there shocked. I had no longer my blond hair but I had thick chestnut curls that went down all over my back. How the hell did I not see this before. They were so freaking long that I probably sat on them a few times...okay this was over dramatic but still...
my eyebrows were nearly as thin as Bella's. The only thing that didn't change were my green eyes.
What the heck?
I walked out of the bathroom walking up to a bag that laid onto the chair that stood in front of my desk. It must be mine right?
I looked inside seeing a purse and I reached for it. I went through all the cards that I had in there until I finally found my ID.
I pulled it out and looked at it.
Genesis Swan...oh god that sounded so strange...
I looked at the picture seeing my new-self looking awkwardly back at me. I looked so much like Bella that I gasped.
But than suddenly something nearly made me choke on my own saliva. I was Bella's twin sister...o.O?
How the hell was that possible. Sure I looked a bit like her but...I didn't look like her twin.
Okay now I was more than in, for getting sleep. I rushed back into the bathroom tying my freakish long hair up and brushing my teeth as fast as I could. I just threw my jeans into the next corner and lay down to sleep in hope to wake up in my normal life again.
