BPOV-
I sat at the red light tapping my fingers on the steering wheel impatiently. Angela and Jessica were going to be mad if I was any later, but it wasn't my fault my alarm clock somehow found itself broken on the other side of my room. I was already thirty minutes late and they sounded annoyed when I called them. Angela Weber was the first person I met when I moved to Forks, Washington. She was pretty shy but was very nice and listened when you needed her too. Jessica on the other hand, well let's just say she was a very curious person and didn't let things rest very easily. They were both very nice, but sometimes I just felt like I would be better off on my own.
I moved to Forks three months ago, after I decided I wanted to come back. I loved Phoenix, and I knew I would miss Renee, but she wanted to go around the country with Phil, and I didn't. So I came back to my childhood home and was now staying with Charlie, the chief of the police. I didn't love the wet, but I did love the smell of the rain, so I tried to find the best out of the never ending storms. I lived here when Renee and Charlie were still together, I was only two years old when my mother decided that she had had enough of Forks, she took me and ran to Phoenix.
I was pretty plain if you ask me, brunette hair, about to the middle of my back, green eyes, average height and weight. I was pretty athletic, but I could get really clumsy at times. I had always been a danger magnet. Anything that was deadly that was in a two mile radius would find me somehow, I guess you could say. But ever since I came back to Forks, I had been pretty safe. I didn't understand it really, normally I would find something each day and cut my self, or trip, but lately nothing has been happening. I brushed it off my shoulder and just enjoyed my luck.
I sat in the car with the radio playing. I had always been addicted to music. The light turned green and I slammed my foot on the gas pedal. My truck was red, old, but could stand a lot. I loved it, even though it was really old. I ran my hand through me hair. I was wearing a pair of faded jeans and an American Eagle shirt. It was a short sleeve shirt, green, with the name brand across the chest. I wasn't too big on fashion, but I tried to stay updated a bit. I pulled into the parking lot of the mall and spotted Angela and Jessica standing by Jessica's car laughing. They saw me and waved. I smiled.
"Oh my god you guys I'm so sorry," Angela giggled. "It's okay really, we went to Baskin Robins," they held up their smoothies and I glared. "Yea, yea, can we go now?" I asked walking towards the entrance, they followed. We laughed and cracked jokes as we walked through the mall. All the older people gave us the 'stupid teenager' looks while other girls glared at us. I was used to getting stared at ever since I moved back to Forks, especially at school. According to Mike Newton, I was the hottest topic in the gossip around town. Mike Newton never really gets the hint when it comes to 'I don't like you like that'. He has been all over me since I moved here, and it really gets on my nerves. He was a big player, and I happened to be the only girl who wasn't falling over him just to start a conversation. He was Mr. Popular at school. He even had his friends that followed him around like a heard of wolves looking for another girl for him to sneak off with, it was disgusting. I didn't see how he lived with himself, having a different girlfriend everyday, and I'm not even going to get into how far he goes with them all, I know, ew! I tried to avoid him the best I could, but he is everywhere I swear!
"That's a new store I think," Angela pointed to an entrance to some store. I nodded, "We should check it out," they giggled as I skipped towards it, backwards, which of course was stupid because I ran start into someone. I turned around and faced them, "Oh my god, I'm so sorry," it was a guy, a very hot guy. He was somewhat tall with auburn hair and green eyes like mine. He smiled a crooked smile and I felt my heart melt, talk about gorgeous! "It's cool," he winked as he kept walking with his friends. I smiled like an idiot and felt my cheeks burning. He looked familiar, but I wasn't sure. Angela and Jessica came up to me with their jaws hanging open giggling. "God Bells, flirt much?" I smirked sarcastically, "Yea apologizing is huge in flirting these days Angela," she rolled her eyes and smiled again.
"Can we go now?" I motioned towards the store. The nodded and ran ahead of me into the store. I glanced behind me to see the guy I had ran into laughing with his friends; he shot me a glance, and smiled. I quickly turned around and headed into the store, cheeks burning. Angela and Jessica were over by the jewelry giggling. I skipped over to them. We tried on all kinds of jewelry and clothes, laughing the whole time. Jessica bought some bracelets, a pink baby doll top and a pair of white skinny jeans. Angela bought a necklace, a few rings, a black tank top that said "Stop Checking Me Out!" across the chest, and also a plaid mini skirt. I bought a bracelet and a skirt that was a little shorter on me than I expected with a really cute red top.
After we invaded the new store we headed to Aeropostale and American Eagle. I didn't get anything there because I was tight money, but they got a few more shirts. I would just dance around the store looking at the clothes while they tried them on. That was how it usually went, since my job didn't pay me as much as theirs did. I didn't mind, I could look at things I wanted to buy for the next time. I was usually pretty good about keeping up with my money budget, but I did slip up here and there. After we were finished at American Eagle we headed to the food court to catch some lunch. I wasn't too hungry so I got us a seat while they ordered some pizza. I sipped my smoothie and gazed around at the different people. I saw on the other side of the food court the guy I ran into earlier was eating with his friends.
There were two girls. One blonde girl, with a perfect shape and blue eyes giggled as she punched a big muscular guy in the arm. He had a booming laugh and wrapped his arm around her, kissing her on her forehead. He had short black hair. The other girl had black hair the spiked out at her shoulders, she smiled at the tall blonde guy sitting across from her and he shook his head laughing. And then there was the guy I ran into, he took a bite of his pizza laughing as the big guy messed up the blonde's hair. I giggled a little and then came back to my own table when I saw Angela and Jessica coming over. I shook my head; I really should start minding my own business.
After Angela and Jessica finished their pizza I walked over to a trash can and threw away my empty smoothie cup, and slipped on a wet paper towel that was on the ground. Just as I expected the ground to meet my, ass-ests, I felt a strong arm wrap around my waist. I looked up to see the same amazingly gorgeous guy holding me. I felt my cheeks burning, he smiled. I laughed a little standing up right. "You okay?" I nodded. "Yea thanks, I'm a klutz," I shrugged sticking my thumbs in my back pockets. I took me a moment to realize everyone was staring at us, I looked at the ground. "Well, um I-I better go," I pointed at an astonished Jessica and Angela. He smiled that crooked smile, "Yea, see you later," I nodded turning around to walk back to Angela and Jessica.
"Wow Bells," Jessica giggled and Angela clapped her hands together laughing. I rolled my eyes, "Get over you selves, almost falling on my butt was embarrassing enough, okay?" I glared at them skipping towards the door to the parking lot. They giggled behind me. I took in a deep breath, that was so embarrassing. I slowed down enough for Angela and Jessica to catch up with me, "Hey I think I'll just head home, Charlie wanted me to take car of the garden, for some weird reason," I shrugged. They said goodbye and waved to me as I climbed into my truck. I waited a moment before starting the car, still a little shook up by the near fall and amazing guy catching me. It was about two thirty. I started the truck and headed home.
When I got home I climbed out of the truck, heading into the house. My cell phone started ringing, I groaned. I bit my lip, afraid to answer it. I squeezed my eyes shut and flipped open the phone, "H-hello," I curled my empty hand into a fist leaning against the door sill staring at my truck. "Hey bells," I cringed as he called me 'bells'. "What do you want Jacob?" I waited, I heard him sigh heavily, "I just wanted to talk about it, you really should come back to Phoenix Bells," I shook my head, looking at the ground. "Jake I'm happy here, just let it go, let me go," he answered quickly, raising his voice, "No Bella, I'm not going to just let you go! You're my Bells!" I felt the tears starting to well up, but fought them back, "Jake, I'm not your Bells. Let it go," I clicked the phone shut and muttered a few cuss words under my breath.
Jake was my ex-boyfriend. He was…difficult I guess you could say. He would get so angry over little things and take it all out on me. I thought I loved him, but one day he just went too far and I realized that I didn't love him, and he didn't love me. That was another reason I was glad to be in Forks, I left him behind in Phoenix along with all the memories of him. I stood there leaning against the door staring at the ground. I shook my head and sighed, I had to just ignore him. He wasn't so happy when he found out I was going to Forks. My phone started ringing again; I glanced at the caller ID, Jacob Black. I sighed. I flipped it open and click the End button. Then I turned my phone off. I ran my hand through my hair and went inside. Today was one of those very few sunny days so I better enjoy it while I could.
I ran upstairs and searched through my closet. I finally found my bathing suit and slipped it on, running back down the stairs to grab a towel. I pulled my hair up into a pony tail and slipped out the back door. Charlie had a small back yard, but I liked to sunbathe there. I laid the towel down on the ground and sat down on it. Charlie never asked me to work on the garden, but it did look like it needed some help. I smiled at the thought of Renee working on the garden when I was only two.
I laid down on the blanket and closed my eyes, thoughts filling my mind. I thought about my relationship I had with Jake. It had been so horrible. After I had agreed to be his girlfriend he was okay, but then as I got more comfortable as his girl, he grew more comfortable with blaming me for everything, and taking it out on me. It started with words, but he slipped up one time. His friend had been flirting with me, and I ignored him because I wasn't the type to cheat, but his friend told him that I had gotten all suggestive with him, which sent Jake over the edge. He came home and started with words, which were bad enough, but then he grabbed my arm and got really close to my face. The next thing I knew he had thrown me on the couch and had hit me. That was the last straw for me and I ran
out of the house, leaving him there all pissed off. I went home and started packing, I left two weeks early for Forks, and I didn't regret it at all.
I sat there thinking about Jake and everything that happened for a while before I decided I didn't feel like crying over it. I had always blamed myself for it. I always thought about that night when his friend Austin was flirting with me. I didn't say anything flirtatious to him, I told him to get a life and that I had a boyfriend. He didn't quite though. I pushed the thoughts of Phoenix out of my mind and started thinking about Forks. I thought about the guy at the mall, god was he hot. He probably was just visiting or something, that or he had a girlfriend already. I was never lucky in love, as you can tell from my past.
I thought about his amazing eyes, they were green like mine, but his were much more beautiful. He had long eye lashes, which I was jealous of, and a perfect smile. I smiled at the thought of his crooked smile. I opened my eyes and sat up. I glanced over to my side at my phone, should I turn it back on? I shook my head, no that was just asking to go into a crying fit. I glanced at the watch I had brought out. I sighed; I had been sitting there for half an hour. I stood up and skipped over to the back door, slipping inside. It was cool inside; a chill ran down my spin. I grabbed a pair of shorts and slipped them on, I had to wash my truck. I slipped back into the backyard to grab my things when I was surprised to see the super muscular guy smiling at me. I smiled; he was on the other side of the fence but was standing up on it.
"H-hi," was all I managed to say. I smiled at him, he laughed a little. "Hey there gorgeous," I raised an eye brow at him, he shook his head. "Sorry, just wanted to say hey, we just moved here," he motioned to the house behind him. I smiled picking up the towel and my cell phone. "Oh, that's cool," I slowly walked towards the fence. He smiled. "I'm Emmet, Emmet Cullen," I nodded. "Yea I saw you at the mall earlier today," I wondered if the amazingly gorgeous guy lived with him, if they were brothers. He raised an eye brow, "Cool, wait, are you the girl my brother ran into and saved from falling?" I cringed at the thought, how embarrassing. "Um, yea," I looked at the ground tucking my hands in my back pockets. "Sorry, he was talking about you, that's all," I laughed, "It's all good," he smiled at me again; I could swear his eyes ran up and down me, but I wasn't sure. "So what are you doing?" I smiled at him. "Well my dad wants me to work on the garden, but I was going to wash my truck, it's pretty bad," he laughed.
"Well, I better go, my girlfriend- I mean, um yea, she's waiting for me," he winked and then smiled widely. "Okay, bye Emmet," I turned and started walking towards the house. I slipped inside and felt another chill run down my spin as I realized I was still in my bikini. I'm such a dumbass.
I washed my truck quickly. I hated being in a bikini doing things like this, it was so slutty, I guess you could say. That and there were a lot of older guys that lived in my neighborhood. I was spraying the front of the truck off with the hose when the same guy from the mall was coming down the street with two dogs. I gulped he hadn't seen me yet, but he was getting closer. I had two choices, one, run in the house like an idiot or stand there and go along with my business and hope he doesn't notice me. I groaned and picked choice two. I stood there facing my truck, trying to look as innocent as I could. I heard the dogs barking, and I turned to see that they were barking at me, damn, there goes that plan.
I smiled at him as he raised his gaze to me from the dogs. His face lightened up and he smiled. He looked astonished. "Hey there stranger," I smiled, somehow feeling confident. He laughed, "Hey," I smiled, his voice was pure velvet. "Long time no see," he started laughing and I joined. "So, didn't think you'd live so close to me," he asked. I had questioning eyes. He pointed behind the house. "I live right back there," I laughed. "Yea I just talked to Emmet a while ago," he raised and eye brow, "Really, I thought he would be gone with Rosalie by now," I laughed. "He was, interesting," I nodded as he laughed at my stupid joke. "Cute dogs by the way," I motioned to the two dogs that were now laying down on the wet pavement. "Steph and Meyer," I smiled at them. "They needed to get out of the house, so I took the opportunity to look around," he smiled at me again. I felt my cheeks burning. Why must he melt my heart with every smile he showed? "So just how big is your family? You had a lot of people with you at the mall this morning," I asked curious.
His face turned thoughtful, almost hurt and I wondered if I had just ruined our friendship, if we even had one. "I'm adopted with my brother. Out parents died in a fire when we were young so my new dad, Carlisle, and his wife adopted us," he shrugged. I looked at the ground, "Sorry, I didn't know, I wouldn't have asked," he smiled, "It's no big deal, people don't usually ask me about my family, that's all," I stood there awkwardly. What now? I said the first thing that came to my mind and felt stupid after I spoke it. "If you want to come inside you can, I mean, for something to drink," he smiled at me as my cheeks started burning even more. "Sure, I guess," I smiled, I threw the hose in the yard and he followed me into the house. He held the dogs close to him, but I told him it was fine to let them run around.
He sat down at the table and I searched through the fridge. "We don't have much. There's water, milk, sweet tea, and kool-aid," I glanced at him. He bit his lip, "Uh, sweet tea for me," I nodded and grabbed the pitcher. I poured him some tea and then mine. I sat down across from him. "So were the girls that were with you your girlfriends or something?"I asked innocently. He shrugged. "Well Jasper Brandon, the tall blonde, is like my best friend and he's dating the little black haired pixie, Alice Hale. And Emmet is dating Rosalie, Rosalie Brandon," I raised an eye brow at him. "So, you all are adopted?" he laughed. "No, we lived here before and Alice, Jasper, and Rosalie are all old friends. They all live right around in this area," he shrugged. "It must be nice, having everyone that you love close to you," I felt stupid saying it. I didn't have anyone really close to me. I mean I loved Charlie, but I never felt really close to him, or anyone for that matter.
"What do you mean," he had curious but thoughtful eyes. I shook my head, "It's nothing," I smiled at him, making eye contact and melting. "So what about your family," I laughed. "Well, I lived here when I was like two years old, but my parents got a divorce and my mom took me to Phoenix with her and I grew up there," I paused. "So what brought you back here?" I felt my face go white, and gulped. "Well, um," I looked at the ground. Thoughts of Jake hit me and I felt the pain spill into my veins, pumping through me. "You don't have to talk about it, if you don't want to," I looked at him, he had worried eyes. I shook my head, attempting to laugh, a failed attempt. "My step father travels a lot and my mom wanted to go with him, I didn't, so I came here, but two weeks earlier," I mentally slapped myself for the last part. He had curious eyes, but seemed more concerned by the look on my face. "Oh, I see," I shook my head laughing at my stupidity. I know he wanted to know, but I couldn't bring myself to tell him, it was too hard.
He glanced at the clock. "I better go, Emmet is probably going crazy," he rolled his eyes. I tilted my head to the side, "Oh he wanted to go to La Push and check out the 'babes' here in Forks," I laughed. "Have fun with that," I waited and then realized I never told him my name. "Oh and I'm Bella Swan," I smiled as we stood up. "Edward Cullen," I melted at his voice, starting to calm down. I followed him to the door and stopped as he quickly turned around and faced me, "Hope to see you soon, Bella," he smiled that special crooked smile and I felt my heart accelerate dramatically. "Soon, I hope, I muttered. He laughed a little and I felt my cheeks burning, I didn't mean to say that out loud. "Yes," he turned on his heel and walked off with the dogs. I stared after him, biting my lip. God, could a guy get as hot as he was? I had to be dreaming.
