Hey guys, I am so sorry about the last story. I went to upload it and it wouldn't let me and finally I just gave up. I got a new computer and everything and it doesn't have the story on there so I might continue it, might not. I'm not really sure yet. I have decided to start over. Maybe you will like this one? Hope so! Enjoy!
I was sitting at the table, my mother sitting across from me. She was very disappointed when I told her that I wanted to live in forks with my dad. She knew that we were having problems but she didn't expect that I would want to move out and live with my dad.
It was my last night with her and we were sitting at the table and the silence was almost unbearable. "Bella honey, are you really sure that you want to do this. I know that we have had our problems but we can work on them. I will work on whatever you want." She was pleading with me again. I knew she wasn't done but I also knew that nothing was going to change my mind.
"Mom, its not just you that's the problem. Its me too. We just don't get along as much as we used to since you got remarried and I think that maybe if we had time apart then things would get better. Please mom, I know this is hard for because it is hard on me too but this is what I want." I took her hand in mine and I could see tears in her eyes. She just looked away from me and pushed away from the table and left.
I love my mother, I really do but lately we have been fighting and I thought we needed time apart. I don't really know why she couldn't see that. I finished my dinner and went up to my room and double checked everything for the flight that was the next morning.
I was nervous but excited at the same time. I would be starting my junior year at a new school and I would start over making new friends but I was making an opportunity to meet new people and I was going to live with my dad. I haven't seen my dad in so long and honestly I always felt more like a daddy's girl.
Everything was all packed and ready to go when I checked the time. It was around 11 pm and my flight was in about 12 hours so I decided that I should get a good night rest. I got in my bed and drifted off to sleep really fast.
The next morning I woke up around 8 and I had two hours before I needed to be at the airport so I got up and stretched my muscles. I looked around my bare room and looked at all the different things I would miss about this place. Before I could get too sad, I was getting up to get in the shower.
I decided that sweats were a must for the plane. I would rather be comfortable then be cute and miserable. I dried my hair and pulled it up into a messy bun then threw a baggy sweatshirt on over my tank top.
I still had an hour before we should be leaving the house so I decided to double check everything and get something to eat. I went downstairs to make myself some eggs and toast and my mother was there smiling at me, obviously over her mood from last night.
"Good morning Bella." She smiled at me and gave me a hug. I couldn't help but smile and hug her back. When I went to pull away though she just kept holding on. "Oh Bella, I am going to miss you so much. You have no idea." I could that she was crying and I couldn't help but feel bad. This was my fault that she was crying.
We were at the airport and I was making sure I had everything situated. I was going to miss my mom so much. I already said good bye to her in the car because I knew that if I let you try and say good bye in the airport I would most likely miss my plane because she would never let me go.
I was walking on the plane and found my seat quickly. I sat down and looked around and pulled out my book. I was just getting to a really good part when I noticed that we were starting to move. I looked around me and nobody was sitting near me. I guess I had much more room than I planned on. Who needs first class right?
As the plane landed I couldn't help the feeling of dread that washed through my body. I knew that in less than twelve hours I would be meeting new people and starting my new adventure in Forks. I looked at the time and it was about 6 o' clock. Charlie should be here any minute now. I was really hungry and if I was going to start my new day tomorrow I would need to get to bed soon. I was tired from the long trip.
I turned around to see if I could make out his face in the crowd in with no luck I huffed and turned back around. I went to walk somewhere else to see if maybe I was looking in the wrong spot. I was picking up my bag when I accidentally bumped into somebody. I looked up and I was met the most beautiful green eyes I have ever seen.
"Oh I am so sorry. I didn't see you there." I was so stunned I couldn't even make out a coherent sentence. So instead I was just looking at him with my mouth open. Way to go Bella. "Are you alright?" He asked me and before I could manage to say something my phone rang and I answered it as quick as I could.
"Hello?" I didn't check the caller id but I figured it would either be my mom or my dad.
"Hey Bells, it's me, you old dad. I am so sorry but there was an accident on the road and I am running really behind. I should be there in about an hour at the rate traffic is going right now." I looked up and the guy was still standing there just looking at me. I thought maybe it was a bit awkward but I was not going to complain.
"Yeah dad that's fine. I can just hang out here for a bit until you get here. Love you." He apologized and said he loved me too and we hung up and I looked at the man standing in front of me.
"Sorry about that. My dad was calling to tell me that he is running about an hour behind." I looked around not knowing really what I was going to do when my stomach grumbled.
"Well I just dropped my mother and father off for their weekend getaway if you want to go grab something to eat and I can keep you company." He smiled at me and I couldn't believe it. He was going to waste his time with me? Plain old Bella? I was beginning to think I would like this town.
"Sure, that would be nice. My name is Bella Swan by the way." I reached my hand out to shake his and he put his hand out but instead of shaking it he lifted it up to his lips.
"Edward Cullen." Was all he said when he kissed my hand gently. A charmer I could see. I blushed and pulled my hand back and he reached down to grab my bag.
"Oh please, you don't have to do that. I'm not helpless you know?" I went to reach for it but he simply pulled it away.
"I am a gentleman. Plus you have probably had a tiring trip. What kind of gentleman would I be if I made you carry your own luggage while I just stood back and watched?" I let him win the argument because I found it odd that a stranger would be so forward with another stranger. "So where do you want to eat? There are a couple of fast food places around this area that we could walk to." He looked down at me and was waiting for me to answer. But all I could do was stare at him. When I looked into his eyes it took me a few seconds to realize what was going on.
"Oh right. Well, do they have a McDonalds around here? I'm starving and I could really use a double cheeseburger right now." I laughed at how ridiculous I sounded and he laughed along with me.
"Yeah there is one just around the corner." We started walking at a faster pace once we knew where we were actually headed.
"So are you new to this area? Just visiting?" He looked at me like he was really interested as he was watching me eat. It made me feel slightly subconscious.
"Well I am moving here with my dad. I lived in Arizona with my mom but things were changing and I needed a change and thus here we are at McDonalds. I must say that this place isn't turning out as bad as what I thought it would be." I took another bite from the sandwich and took a sip of my drink.
"And why is that Miss Bella Swan?" He smirked at me and I was pretty sure it almost made my panties drop.
"Well, the sun is slightly shining today. Last time I was here it rained for the whole week straight. Plus the guys are kind of cute." I pretended to be looking around and he just laughed at me. Who knew that shy Bella had another side to her? I was shocking myself at how bold I was being with him, and how comfortable I was with him.
"Yes well fortunately for me the number in beautiful woman here in this area have increased drastically from three to four since you got here." He had a cocky grin on his face as if he knew what I was going to say next.
"Three to four? Who are the lucky three ladies? Is one your girlfriend?" He looked into my eyes deeply and leaned forward slowly. I could feel his intense gaze and it was making me want to get closer to him.
"My two sisters and my mother would be very mad at me if I thought of them as ugly." He just pulled back and sat there like nothing happened. He smirked at me and I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
"You really are something you know that?" My phone began to ring and I looked down at it. It was my dad. "Hold on a second. Its my dad." I reached down and hit the talk button.
"Hello?" I looked at Edward and he was just looking at me. It made me feel self-conscious.
"Hey Bells, I am about five minutes away. Sorry it took me so long." He sounded a bit annoyed but I wasn't really paying attention, I was looking at Edward who happened to be giving me the hottest smile I have ever seen a human being make.
"Oh that is fine dad; I will meet you at the front." I hung up and just sat there for a second, not wanting to say good bye to Edward.
"Well my dad is going to be here soon so I have to go. It was nice meeting you Edward. I had a very nice time." He got up with me and smiled at me.
"Me too, maybe I could get your number?" He pulled out my phone like he already knew I was going to say yes, which I was but still, he seemed very confident in himself.
"Sure. My number is 550-0460" He put the number in his phone and then looked up at me.
"You aren't going to ask me for my number?" He just looked a little shocked and amused at the same time.
"Well I would but I am pretty sure you're going to text me later tonight anyways because I am just so irresistible so really there is no point in asking." I just smiled at him and turned around and walked off.
