Chapter 1: Cullen's
"Hello my name is Jennifer Rose Swan. I am seventeen years old. I live in a small town in Arkansas called Hot Springs. I live here with my mom Elaine and her new husband Ryan Bird. Well this is my story on how I met the wonderful family named the Cullen's".
When my mom got married I was really happy for her and Ryan. He is real good for her. We live in a small two story house in the woods. Me and mom were at home alone because Ryan is a singer in a band called Vote. They are touring right now.
We were in the kitchen eating breakfast when I saw that mom was not looking very happy. I looked at her and asked her, "what was wrong", even tho I all ready knew what was wrong. She looked at me and said "that she was missing my step father". I told her "that i have been thinking about moving in with my dad" who lived in Washington called Forks. She looked at me and asked "why?". I told her "so you can be with Ryan. I know you miss him so much and you can't leave me here by myself". She stood up and came to me and gave me a hug. I told her that "I called dad his name is Nick Swan and asked him if I could come and stay with him so you could go and be with Ryan". She looked at me and asked "what did he say"? I told her, "that he said that he would love for me to stay with him". She started to laugh and cry. I asked her, "why she was crying?" She told me, "that she would miss me so very much", me and my mom are very close and then we shared a cry. After we got done crying I told her "to go call Ryan and tell him the good news". She went to the living room to call him and I went to my room to call my dad and tell him to make room for me. I picked up my cell phone and let it ring till I got his answering machine saying, "that he was not home to leave a message and he would get back to you when he gets home". So I hung up and called his cell. "Hello" I heard him say. "Hey dad its me Jennifer", "I am so glad you called, so what did your mom say"? Dad asked me. "She told me that I could move in with you", I told my dad. "I am so happy to hear that, so when will you be here"? He asked me. "Well I'm going to get a plane ticket today and I will be there later Friday or early Saturday next week", I told him. "Oh OK well that will give me time to do something special for you", he told me. "Oh dad you don't have to". "Jennifer Rose be quiet, I want to and I am going to" my dad told me. "So honey what are your favorite colors"? He asked me. "Well I love purple, black, and blue, but all darker shades, I am not a girly girl", I told him. He started to laugh and said "OK". "I need to talk to your mom about getting you register into school here", he told me. "Well dad she is talking to Ryan and that when she gets off I will tell her OK"? "OK" he said. "Well dad I'm going to let you go and I will talk to you later, OK I love you dad", "Love you to sweetheart bye", "bye dad", then we hung up.
"Mom are you off the phone yet"? I yelled at her from up stairs"? She said "yes", "OK I'm coming down". When I got down stairs she was sitting on the couch waiting to talk to me. "Well" she said, I told her "that dad needs to talk to you about me and school. Then I told her what me and dad talked about. I asked her what did Ryan say"? "Well sweetheart she said, that him and his band will be here next Friday to say bye to me and to get her. We will be leaving early Saturday to get back on the road", she told me. Well its Friday afternoon a week later and I just got home from school, I said "hi" to my mom and went upstairs to finished packing for my move. I heard a knock on the door and it was Ryan and his band. I came downstairs to give my step-dad a hug and tell the others hey. We all went to the living room and sat and talk. I looked at the time and it was five and I went to the kitchen to start dinner. We were having hamburgers and fries. I got done then we ate. Ryan and a couple of guys did the dishes. Then we started to play game and watch TV. It was getting late, it was nine pm and I told everyone "that I had to get to bed, so I told everyone goodnight". "Mom and dad will yall come to my room please"? I asked them. "I want to talk to yall for a min". They both said "OK" and we went to my room. We got to my room and I close the door behind us. "What is it honey mom asked"? "Well I wanted to tell yall that I love yall and I'm going to miss yall so very much". As I was saying this I started to cry. Mom and dad came over to me and started to hug me and cried with me. They told me the same thing what I told them. "Well sweetheart mom said, you better get to bed" and they both tucked me in and gave me kisses, "then said goodnight honey". "Goodnight I told them" then they left.
My alarm went off at six thirty. I got up and got ready for my trip. I went down stairs as quite as I could so I don't wake anyone up that we asleep in the living room. I went to the kitchen so I can eat breakfast. I got done ,clean my dishes and went up stairs to wake mom and dad up, for them to get ready to take me to the airport. I knocked on their door and heard mom tell me "to come in". "Good morning mom and dad, yall need to get up and get ready". "OK honey we are well be down in a bit". As they got ready I went and got some of my bags and put them in the car. I got back inside and everyone was waking up. "Good morning everyone. Well guys it was good to see everyone but I got to go and get on the plane. I will miss yall all very much. See yall around then", I told them. "OK guys me and Elaine will be back in a bit". "Bye everyone"," bye they all said to me". Well we got to the airport in time. Mom and dad helped me with my six bags. We got to the check in counter and gave the workers my bags, then I gave them my ticket. Me, mom and dad stood to the side to say our good byes. "Mom and dad please be careful and I love yall so much and I will miss yall",I told them. "We will miss you too sweetheart and we love you to very much bye". "Bye mom and dad". I went to where I needed to go and waited till I got on the plane. I was feeling a little scared because I have never been on a plane. They started to call us to get on the plane. I took my seat witch was by the window, I put my belt on and took my mp3 player out and my book to help me relax. I got a tap on my shoulder. I took my headphones off and said "yes", the worker lady asked me "if I wanted a drink and some peanuts"? "Sure "I said, I got my stuff and told her "thank you". Y"our welcome", she said. I was looking around to see what everyone else was doing that's when I saw HIM.
The most beautiful boy I have ever seen. He was in the window seat on the other side. He had reddish brown hair that was messy but it made him look really cute. He was paler than me if that was possible witch was. He looked at me and I tuned my head away from him and started to blush. A few hours later the pilot came over the speaker system and said "we will be landing in about fifteen min". I started to put my stuff up and waited till we landed. We landed in Seattle. I got up and got off the plane. I saw my dad when I came out of that long hall way. I went up to him and started to hug and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Hey dad its so nice to see you", "you to kiddo", he said. We went to the baggage claim to get me my bags. We had to get a cart to carry all my bags to dads cruiser. Oh yeah I forget to tell yall my dad is the police chief of forks. Anyways we got in his car and started heading home. It took about an hour and a half to get home. When we got home dad grabbed three of my bags and I grabbed the other three of my bags. When we got inside dad told me "when we get upstairs to you room close your eyes". We got to my room and dad told me "to put my stuff down and to close my eyes". Dad open my door to my room and told me "to open my eyes". When I did my eyes just about popped out. He had my room remodel. In my room was a full size canopy bed, with blue netting curtains and the bed frame was purple. I had a new computer desk and a new laptop computer. The walls were purple with blue and black paint that was in design on my walls.
I looked at my dad and gave him a hug and said "thank you,dad you should have not done this and spend your money like this". He told me that "he did not spend a penny". I looked at him and asked him, "how did you do this then"? "I know this girl shes about you age, anyways I told her that you were moving in and I wanted to do something nice for you. So she did this and would not let me pay her or help her at all". "Who is this girl you know dad"? "Her name is Alice Cullen, she is a very sweet girl. Her and her family live just outside Forks". "Tell me about her", I asked him? "No I will let her do that, she will be here later. We have you one more surprise", he told me. "Well hone I'm going to let you get unpacked. Oh I'm going to order pizza for dinner" dad said, "OK dad thanks". I started to open my drawers and then my closet and found that I had new clothes in my closet. I really like to meet her and thank her for what she has done for me and my dad. "Jennifer pizza is here", dad yelled from downstairs. "OK dad be their in a min". I came down sat at the table and got me two pieces of pizza. "So dad what are you going to go tomorrow"? "Well I was thinking of going to see a friend, if you want to you can come"?. "Well will see I guess". We got done eating then we went to the living room to watch TV. Then there was a knock on the door, dad went to get the door I followed behind him. He open the door and their was a very beautiful girl standing there with a big smile on her face. "Hey Alice dad said, come in and meet my daughter Jennifer Rose". She came in, when I got a good look at her she was much more beautiful than I thought. She had black hair that was spiky and sticking out in different directions, she had very pale skin and her eyes were a golden color. I have never seen eyes like that.
"Hello Jennifer my name is Alice it is very nice to meet you, how are you"? she asked me. "I'm fine and you"? "Oh Nick can we show her the other present"? Alice asked dad. "OK we can", dad said. "Jennifer I'm going to cover your eyes and I'm sorry my hands are very cold", Alice told me. "OK Alice go ahead". She came around behind me and put her oh my god very cold hands over my eyes. Then her and dad led me outside. They both counted to three then she let go of my eyes and before me was a Pontiac fire bird convertible purple in front of me. It had black interior and a big red bow on top of it. I could not speak, move or anything, "Jennifer are you OK"? Alice asked me. "No you are kidding me this is not my car". "Yes it is", dad said to me. Who, how, what no way" was all I could say. Then I started to jump up and down giving them hugs and laughing all at the same time. I finely calmed down and thanked them so much, this is my dream car. "I know sweetheart that is why we got it for you". They were laughing and said "your welcome" at the same time. It was starting to rain so we went back inside the house. I went to the kitchen to get a soda from the fridge, but there was none, all there was two beers, milk that was outdated and bottle water. "Dad"! I yelled, "I need to go shopping tomorrow for food for the house". Alice was by my side in a quick second, "can I go with you please", as she was saying please she gave me a look that I thought that I was going to start to cry it was so pitiful looking. How could you tell someone so beautiful no. I looked at her and told her "OK if you want to i don't mind. I also needed to get some new books and some other things while we were out". "Hey we can go to Port Angels", Alice said. "They have a good size mall there and they have a real nice book store also". I told her "OK but I want to drive I really want to drive my new car", she said that "would be fine". We went and sat down on the couch and talked with dad for a bit. "Oh Alice I want to thank you for what you have done for me and being friends with my dad". "Oh your welcome Jennifer it gave me something to do and I really enjoyed it", she told me. "So what time do I need to be here in the morning"?Alice asked me. "Oh well I guess Ten, I'm very tired and would like to sleep in some". "OK I will be here at Ten then", she told me. "Well guys I got to go yall have a goodnight and I will see yall in the morning". "I'll walk you out to your car", I told her, "OK Jen". "Hey I would like to ask you about your family if you don't mind, I was told you have 6 other brothers and sisters and I would like to know them". "I don't mind well talk tomorrow", "OK bye Alice", "bye" she told me then she was gone.
I went back in the house and sat on the couch and started watching TV with dad. One min I was watching TV then I was being woke up by dad telling me "to go to bed". I got up and looked at what time it was, it was ten pm. I told dad "goodnight" and stumble up the stairs and went to the bathroom and got ready for bed then went to my room and got in bed and went right to sleep. I woke up at nine in the morning. I got up and went down stairs where dad had a pot of coffee on. I grabbed me a cup of coffee then got a plate and fixed me and dad some toast then went and sat down and ate. "Good morning dad", "morning honey how was your night"? dad asked me. "Good I slept like a baby". I got done eating then went upstairs to got ready for the day. As I was getting ready I heard a knock at the door. "Good morning Alice", I heard dad say. Jennifer is upstairs you can go up if you want. "Jennifer", I heard Alice say, "I'm in my room come in", "OK" she said and came in. "Good morning how are you today Alice"? "I'm good can't wait till we leave", "me either", I said. "OK I'm ready lets go". "Bye dad love you see you when we get back", "OK yall be careful", "we will". I'm so happy I get to drive my new car. We got in my car, I started it up and turned the radio on and then we were off to the mall.
"Do you know where you are going"? Alice asked me. "Yes Alice I do and if I forget I will ask you OK", "OK "she said. "So Jennifer what do you want to know about my family"? Alice asked me. "Well what are your family names"? "Well she said my dads name is Dr. Carlisle he's a doctor at the hospital, then my mom name is Esme, she is a stay at home mom, she has to take care of all of us. OK then theirs my brothers Emmett Cullen and his girlfriend and my sister Rosalie Hale, they both are in the twelfth grade,then there's my boyfriend Jasper Hale, me him and my other brother Edward and you are all in the same grade", Alice told me. "What do you mean you and your other brother girl friend live in the same house"? I asked a little shocked. "Yes they do, see we were all adopted by mom and dad Cullen". "Oh OK I see". "Why do Jasper and Rose have the same last names"?. "Well they are real brother and sister they are twins". "Why is Jasper in our grade and not with his sister"? "He got held back" she told me, "oh OK i was just wondering". "Oh wow you have a big family". "Hey when we get done would you like to meet them"? Alice asked me. "Sure we can go before we go to the store and get food for my house". "Sounds good to me", she said. Well we got to the mall finely ,"OK where to go first"? I asked Alice. "Well lets go clothes shopping first", she said, "OK lets go". We went to every clothing shop it seemed like in the mall. "Alice I'm getting hungry lets go get something to eat". "Well I'm not but you can eat ", Alice said. We went to the food court I got me some pizza and me and Alice were talking as I ate. "Jennifer I need to call dad and tell him that you will be coming over in a bit so eat OK", "OK" I said. Alice got off the phone and said "that everyone will be there". "Alice can I ask you something, you don't have to answer me if you don't want to OK"?. "OK ask me\ and we will see", she said. "Well its a few questions all in one, why are you paler than me?, Why are you so cold? and why is you skin as hard as stone"? "Oh well Jennifer I am not going to answer them, well at least not right now. You will find out soon OK"?, "OK I was just wondering". "Hey I did my shopping lets go to the book store "OK", she asked me "sounds good to me", I said.
We found a big book store and stayed in there for two hours. "Hey Alice we need to go I found some books and its getting late". "OK lets go get checked out" she said. We got to the checkout counter and I gave the lady my books and she told me that "will be fifty dollars". "Oh that's to much I won't have any money left for food, oh well I'll just get these two thanks". I gave my money to her and waited for Alice, "OK lets go", she said. "Oh Jennifer two things one here I got your books and don't say anything and two can I drive so you will see where I live and you can see how to get to my house"? she asked me. "Oh here is my keys", we loaded the car and got in and we were on our way. We were quiet till we got to her house. Before we got their I had no idea where she lived. We left Forks and we were on the rode for along time till she pulled onto this driveway I did not see. We were on the dive way for awhile till I saw a clearing then I saw the house. It was so big and beautiful, it looked like it belong there. It was white and brown and three stores high. "Wow Alice your house is so beautiful". "Thanks now are you ready to go in"? she asked me. "Um-mm yeah", "OK grab some bags and I'll lead the way", "OK I told her". When we got to the door someone opened the door for us. When we got in I was at a lost for words it was so beautiful. We enter the living room and their her family was. "Hello and welcome to our home my name is doctor Carlisle Cullen" a beautiful man with blond hair and cream white skin said. "Hello my name is Jennifer Rose Swan nice to meet yall". "OK Jennifer let me introduce you to my family", Alice said. "This is Jasper Hale my boyfriend" she pointed at him, I looked at him and he had blond hair and the same skin and eye color. "Hello Jennifer like Alice said I'm Jasper Hale nice to meet you", "nice to meet you too", I said. "OK Jennifer this is Jasper's sister Rosalie Hale". Wow she was beautiful also with the same hair color and eyes as Jasper's. "Hello Jen, you don't mind if I call you that do you"? Rosalie asked me. "No I do not mind and nice to meet you". "OK Jen I like for you to meet my boyfriend" Rose said "this is Emmett Cullen". Wow he was so big and had a lot of muscles, he was kinda of scary to me. "Jen he said you look a little scared", "I'm not lied". "Don't be afraid of me I wont hurt you", he said "it is very nice to meet you", "you to I said". "Jen this is my brother Edward Cullen". "Hey your the guy I saw on the plane" I said. "Yes we were on the same plane", he said and then he gave me beautiful smile and he said "nice to meet you", "you to", I said in a whisper. "Hey Alice where is you mom"?,I asked. "I'm right here" she said from behind me, made me jump a little. "Oh sorry Mrs. Cullen I did not see you". "Don't worry and call me Esme "OK", "OK Esme that's a beautiful name". "Thank you very much", she said.
