"Bella you ready to go" Renee yelled from the bottom of the stairs. "yea" I yelled back although I knew I never would be truly ready to move away from the one and only place I considered home. I was born in forks Washington but my mom Renee was never fond of small towns so when I was young she left my dad Charlie and moved us to phoenix Arizona, which is where she met Phil my step dad of a year now. "ok I'll be in the car" she said before I heard the front door close so I grabbed my remaining bags and my I pod and headed to the car as we all got settled into the car and got ready for our 2, 000, more or less, mile drive to Florida .I turned on my I pod knowing it would be the only thing keeping me sane on this trip and ironically Hey Monday ,my favorite band, was playing but to be more exact the song Arizona. I started listen to the lyrics
"It took two days
For me to figure out
This isn't working out
I got to hit the brakes
Arizona, Arizona
A car wrecked on a highway
Now you're burning by the side of the road
Arizona, Arizona
It's a million miles from Florida
Now you're history
I'm stranded
Get me out
I'm going home".
I seriously thought that I might lose it if I kept listening to this song so I changed the song to candles by hey Monday and listened while staring out the window
"The power lines went out
And I am all alone
But I don't really care at all
Not answering my phone
All the games you played
The promises you made
Couldn't finish what you started
Only darkness still remains
Lost sight
Couldn't see
When it was you and me
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
I'm beginning to see the light
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
But I think I'll be alright".
What felt like forever, a day, and two stops later we arrived to our new house in Florida it was huge and right next to the beach. I knew it must have cost a fortune that Phil and his minor league baseball job could never afford, he actually barely got paid anything, my mom would support us with her trust fund from my grandmother so Phil's job was more like a hobby than a career. I never really understood what she saw in him, but I think it was that he was immature and young and he made her feel young to, but no matter what I knew he was just using my mom for her money to try and get a career in major league baseball. I knew it was wrong but I could never tell my mom that she was always so happy around him and It didn't seem like she would believe me if I tried to say anything anyway. All I knew was as soon as I graduated from high school and had access my trust fund my plan was to get away from this train wreck of a relationship, don't get me wrong I do love Renee I was just never able to live with her she never understood me. I was always quite and had two best friends at the most, and I was okay with that but she always wanted me to open up and although I tried it just never happened, and although she said we moved for Phil's job I knew it was because she wanted me to open up and have more friends. It frustrated me that she was trying so hard but I knew she was just doing what she thought was right.
Knock, knock, knock! I was startled by someone knocking on the window of the car I looked up to see Renee waiting for me to get out of the car. Hesitantly got out the car and walked up to our new home , as soon as I walked through the door I was in awe the house was so beautiful it had high ceilings, it was very open, a great view through every window and wood floors didn't realize I was staring with my jaw drop until Renee said" so I guess you like it " I just rolled my eye then she went off to talk to phil.
A hour later the movers came and brought all of our furniture which was truly not enough since the house still seemed fairly empty which made my mom very excited about getting to redecorate and as she started to tell me about all her plans ,that I was barely listening to, the doorbell rang. I went to answer it and was shocked when I was hugged very tightly by a short pixie-like girl with short black hair that went in every direction and as she started to pull away I noticed she was fairly pale and with really pretty green eyes before I could say anything she started talking "hi I'm Alice and I have a feeling we are going to be best friends especially since I just live next door we can have sleepover all the time and go to dinner at each other's houses and we can go to the mall like every day and save gas cause we would only have to use one car and o yea by the way what's your name" I was in shock and just staring wide eyed at her I didn't even notice there was someone behind her until I heard a laugh that was the most beautiful noise in the world that was until I heard him speak "Alice I think you scared her" I looked up to him and thought he was an angel and I was pretty sure my jaw dropped when I stared into his eyes they were 100 times better than Alice's eyes and he had beautiful bronze hair "hi I'm Edward Cullen please excuse my sisters behavior she's been waiting for someone to move into this house around her age since it has been built" he held out his hand for me to shake and when I did the same, there was this tingling feeling that I never felt before that just went through my body and I never wanted to let go though I knew I had to so I did. "I'm Isabella swan Bella for short "he smiled a beautiful crooked smile and said "nice to meet you" just then Alice said "so when are you going to start school"
"Monday" I said
"O you should so ride with me I just got my new Porsche because I am so tired of all Edwards rules about his precious car, I mean just one spill of some soda and he loses it "she said
"it's a Aston Martin V12 Vanquish and it's my car if you want to spill soda somewhere do it in your car "he said looking irritated .She just rolled her eyes and I laughed she really did seem like someone I could hang out with "so do u want a ride" she said smiling widely "sure my car won't get here till Tuesday anyway" I said and then someone's ringtone started going off and Alice pulled out a iphone covered in rhinestones and motioned with her finger one minute and answered "what Emmett" I had no idea what he was saying on the other line but she laughed "you probably deserved it what did you do this time" she rolled her eyes and said okay but you owe me". She hung up and looked at Edward and said "rose messed with Emmett's engine again and u have to see if you can fix it cause she's not talking to him"
"What did he do that was so bad that they didn't make up in 5 minutes" he said
"he said that if rose looked more like Nikki reed then she would be the best girlfriend ever, and knowing rose she took it differently then Emmett thought and told him maybe he should get Nikki reed to fix his car" she said
"That is so Emmett well I'm going to what I can do, he's still at rose's right"
"Right" Alice said
Then Edward turned to me and said "nice meeting you again, see you later "and with that he turned and left. I stared at him leaving and noticed his great body until Alice cleared her throat and said "I know your probably to busy checking my brother out to notice that we are still standing in the doorway but I personally rather be somewhere with a. c." I blushed and let her in.
That evening me and Alice talked about random thing and she told me about the school, her favorite places to shop, and her boyfriend and I noticed that she talked a lot and I was glad because I really didn't think I had that much to say and her life seemed much more interesting then mine. She stayed for dinner and Renee was very happy about that and saying how nice it was that I made a friend already Alice was smiling brightly and saying that she's glad that we are friends. It was around 11:00 when Alice left after we finished watching a few episodes of her favorite show Degrassi which was actually pretty addicting even though it was alot of uneeded drama she was leaving she made me promise to a shopping trip tomorrow but before I could say anything my mom said bella will be there without me even giving a thought to it and knowing Alice even only for a few hours I knew tomorrow would be the longest Saturday of my life.
After a long first day in florida it was nice to get some rest. That night was the first night i dreamt of edward cullen.
