Chapter 1

Hurt

The day was like any other; cold and rainy. I had just gotten home from school when I received a call from the hospital informing me that my dad Charlie had been in a car accident while chasing a speeding. Before I knew what I was doing I was running out to my poor excuse of a truck and was off to the Port Angeles Hospital.

Once I was inside I was directed to room 107 on the second floor. As I rushed up the staircase my heartbeat accelerated while thinking back to what happened to my mother. I couldn't let the past repeat itself once again. My dad was not going to die. By the time I was on the second floor, I was gasping for air. I spotted room 107 only to find my father hooked up to a breathing machine. At the horrid site I collapsed to the floor sobbing while tears effortlessly streamed down my cheeks. All I could think to myself was 'I am alone, I have no one'. With that, new tears started to form in my eyes. I decided I needed to be strong so I picked myself up off the floor and walked toward my father. Suddenly a man in his late twenties or early thirties appeared at the door completely oblivious to the fact that I was there. Suddenly he looked up from his folder and took in the fact that he wasn't alone.

"Hello you must be Isabella Swan I'm Dr. Cullen".

"Hi" I said in a quiet voice "do you know how my father is doing?"

"I'm sorry to inform you but I suspect, due to all the head drama he has endured, he will only last a couple more hours."

" Oh" was all I could say before my tears began to pour down my face once again.

"I think you should call your mom and tell her you are going back to live with her. I really am truly sorry" Dr. Cullen said to me in a sympathetic tone.

"I don't have one; she's dead also". Dr. Cullen's eyes widened at that statement then softened.

"You should come live with my family and I. It would be a lot better than moving away into and aunt or uncles house"

"I don't know" I said, " I wouldn't want to intrude, I-"

"No it's really no problem, please? I feel awfully bad about you situation".

I wanted to so badly but I didn't want to be a burden. "No really I couldn't".

"Oh yes you can. It is settled. I will have someone pick you up at around 6:30 okay?"

" Okay, thank you Dr. Cullen"

"Please, call me Carlisle, and it's no problem, but if you will excuse me I have a surgery I need to attend to, so I'll see you tonight Isabella."

"Please call me Bella"

"Alright, bye Bella".

And with that he was out of the room. As I drove home I turned on the radio but turned it off immediately when the song Hurt came on. I felt several tears trickle my face I tried to wipe them away but new tears just replaced them.

By the time I stopped crying I was in my driveway. I quickly unlocked the door and made my way to the family room where a new wave of emotions passed through me: panic. I was about to move into a house full of strangers and I didn't even know if they wanted me there. My panic soon dissolved into nothing as I looked in the direction of the clock. It was already 5:30! I soon rushed into my room and packed my things. It only took me twenty minutes because of my short supply of clothing.

I decided to take a shower with my spare forty minutes so I grabbed my toiletry bag and went to the bathroom. Once I stepped into the shower, I let my emotions get the best of me. My tears washed down the drain along with the water. Once I was finished. I looked at the time; I still had twenty minutes left. So, I got dressed and decided to make myself a bowl of Macaroni and Cheese.

Once I finished my food, I washed my dishes with only 5 minutes to spare. As I was dragging my boxes of clothing, the doorbell rang. I went to answer it and when I opened the door a small girl with black hair and bright blue eyes opened the door.

"Hi, I'm Alice." The small girl said in a loud voice.

"I'm Bella. I take it you're Carlisle's sister." I asked shyly.

"No, silly, I'm his daughter… well, sort of. You see, he adopted me."

"Oh" was all I managed to say.

"So, do you need any help with your bags?" Alice asked.

"Sure, if you don't mind." With that she had one of my boxes in her hand and was off towards the car. As I locked the door, I noticed an electric green Lamborghini in the driveway.

"Wow" was all I could say.

"Come on" Alice said," you can sit up here with me" she said as I had my hand on the handle of the back seat door

"Kay" I said shyly. As I stepped into the car, I noticed how nice the interior was

"You have an awesome car: I said momentarily stunned by the look of the car.

"Thanks in was a birthday gift from Carlisle and Esme"

"Esme's your mom I take it?"

"You would be correct, yes."

"I heard about what happened to your dad and I just wanted to say I'm sorry," she said sympathetically placing her hand on top of mine.

"Thanks but I'm just starting to get used to it, but it's hard to imagine after what happened to my mom."

"Oh" she said, "My parents both died of an illness so I sorta know how you feel."

"Yea, you probably do." I said it a sympathetic voice.

"How old were you when they… you know?" I asked curiously.

"Oh I was seven but my brother was 6."

"You have a brother?" I asked.

"Sure I do. He's at the house setting up your room. It's a good thing that room was almost completely ready before we found out you were coming." She said. I couldn't help but wonder what my room was going to look like.

"So what's your brother's name?" I asked.

"His name is Edward. He's excited about someone new moving in."

"Why?"

"Well, he gets lonely when I'm gone with my boyfriend Jasper and Emmet is off with Rose."

"Wait, who's Emmet?"I asked.

"Oopsy! I forgot to mention my other brother." She said in a cheery voice.

"Other brother? Alice!" I exclaimed, "How could you forget?!"

We were both laughing by now, having hysterics.

"Sorry, I guess I got ahead of myself." She said while sgtill chuckling.

"It's fine Alice, are we almost their?"

"Actually, yes we are just pulling into the driveway."

"Oh." I said.

As we pulled up towards a long driveway, I really noticed how big the house was.

"Wow" was all I could say again.

"Ha, ha," she said, "that's the reaction we get from a lot of people, but please don't feel weird about it. We just have a lot of money to spare."

"That's cool." I said curious to see if the inside of the house was just as nice as the outside.

"Okay, I guess we should go get you settled in then,"

"Sure" was all I could say before she was out of the car

"I guess she's excited about showing me my new room." I mumbled to myself as I stumbled towards the trunk and grabbed a box.

Trying to calm my nerves down, I looked inside the box inside my hand. I instinctively put one hand over the box to hide my undergarments.

I was so into the box and its possessions that I didn't realize I was already I was at the door, so I continued to walk. Only after I landed face down on the floor with my clothing draping over everything did I realize that there was a door with a step before it. As I was picking up my clothing, I heard someone bend down and throw two pairs of underwear back into the box. I kept my head down to now hide my bloodstained cheeks, but then heard someone clear their throat, so I looked up.

It was then that I saw those beautiful emerald green eyes staring directly into mine….
