Chapter 1
I never really thought about my Patrick's family, my uncle and his daughter. The thing was I wasn't always the easiest daughter to get along with.
So I threw the odd temper tantrum at school and got into trouble, with the principle and with the local police.
That didn't make me a bad person really; I mean I can't help it, that much anyway. I can suppose it all started when I was only thirteen, my mother got breast cancer and they never could get rid of it. They tried everything.
She still died, not a day goes by that I wish it never happened.
So I started skipping classes and smoking, drinking was the worst part of my life.
Living in Seattle wasn't much fun. My dad owns a small records store he brought with my mother. We lived in the small apartment above the shop, only moved in when my mother died so my Patrick didn't have to see the old house anymore.
But this story isn't about my life in Seattle but about my summer in Forks.
It all stared with a trip to the principle for my dad, to pick me up.
"Louise, you're lucky, too lucky!" his voice was hushed trying to control a temper that wasn't really there, but then my Patrick Patrick never really was mad. I never known him to raise his voice or throw a tantrum, guess it was why my mother loved him.
They were very much in love, everyone around them knew it and to this day when she passed. I never thought love was a kind thing.
"I don't care, I really don't," my voice was cold I never used to be like this, the bubbly blonde with beach blue eyes, but then I cut most my hair off.
My Patrick eyes on the road, his hands pinned to the wheel of his 69 Chevy focused on the road ahead.
"I phoned; Charlie and he said you can spend the summer up in Forks with Bella."
My eyes snapped from the window to him, what the hell was he thinking. "Forks!" I shouted.
"I just think you need to get away…" he spoke softly trying to sooth me wasn't really working.
"Forks, why?" I complained watching his face.
He was quite for a while, before he spoke again, "I think since." He pursed, the thing is with us Swan's we never spoke much. Especial about death and my mother's was never spoken of.
"I'm saying, you never got away from here, you need breathing room." His eyes still focused on the road, from my high school, to our apartment he didn't speak much more.
"But Fork's its like, always cold, and raining, for my summer vacation!" his eyes snapped to me he started to sound angry.
"Lou please, I've called Charlie, I'm driving you down Friday." that was the last thing said on the matter. I spent the rest of the drive in silence, the reason I wasn't driving was because I was still without a licence being sixteen I should have one, but not me.
One I was banned from driving due to a case of joy riding under the influence.
Getting home didn't change the matter, and I knew the plan was premeditated. My Patrick had a suitcase out the attic. Not much of an attic as space in the roof for junk to get lost.
"So, you can pack," his voice was dull and I laughed, just out of the fact I had no way out.
"I don't want to go," I never was that good at an augment but his voice went harsh.
"Louise Samantha Swan, can you please do as you're told for once!" My eyes were wide, not for the fact of what he said, but his fist had hit the wall making me just scared.
The next few days were a blur, I was suspended from school for the last days, but then again that was nothing new.
I woke up on Friday morning, the alarm shacking me out of my weird dream.
I was in the forest of Forks and Bella was there too. I remember the rain the cold, the feeling isolated.
Me and Bella the perfect opposites of each other, but both our skin was an ivory complexion, but as she was thin I was more curvier, her eyes brown mine blue, her brown hair mine blonde.
I listen to Patrick to start moving, but then guessed he was still asleep. I gathered my toiletries bag heading for the one bathroom. I quickly getting showered brushed my teeth and ready for the day.
It was after making myself some toast eating it slowly, he finally rose from sleep and entered the kitchen area looking to me.
"I'm going shower, then were leaving." he walked away. I never really conversed much with my Patrick, but then it got worse and worse.
I even got to the point that Forks wasn't so much a bad thing, just that dream of Bella, and the beast.
The drive was quieter than I thought it would be, my suitcase in the back seat and my hands drumming on my knees.
"You want the radio on?" his hand from the wheel to the stereo, but I shrugged.
After another hour of silence I finally see Forks come into focus, and my breath stopped in my throat. The place was tiny, and I just looked at the moss covered trees it wasn't raining but I could see a light mist in the air, the sky a dull grey as I avoided my Patrick's eyes.
When we got to Charlie's house Dad pulled the car pulled into the drive next to Charlie's cruiser; I turned to Patrick one more time, my eyes pleading with his.
"No Lou, it's not that bad here." He gave a encouraging smile that I ignored.
I jumped when the door opened making me jump, I quickly turned my attention to Charlie smiling bright at both me and my Patrick.
"Lou, haven't you grown!" Charlie's light voice catching my attention but I took my seat belt off getting out the car.
"You changed your hair!" He added trying to make me feel better about being here.
I opened the back seat getting my suit case; I didn't feel much in a talkative mood.
"So where's Bella?" My voice low and Charlie laughed once again.
"No hello uncle's hug?" I felt my eyes burning; this so wasn't my plan so why did I have to be nice.
"Sorry Charlie…" I put my suitcase down giving him a friendly hug, then let go.
"Charlie, you sure you don't mind?" Patrick's sounded more and more like he wanted to give me away.
Charlie heading us into the house it was empty, "well, when you gonna start house hunting?"
My eyes snapped I turned to Patrick. "House hunting!" my voice harsh, "house hunting!" again his eyes never left Charlie.
"I'm thinking I'll pop here now and then but I have been talking to a retailer."
I felt lost dazing in and out of the conversation, Charlie told me that I would be sleeping on the sofa bed and Bella was out with a boyfriend.
Funny I never seen Bella in a long time, but then she was never famous for her popularity. I only went to visit her in Phoenix now and then, but after my mother died. I didn't want to leave home.
After two hours of listening to the conversation move from housing to school, sports Patrick got to his feet.
"Charlie look after my devil child." his laugh was light and Charlie smiled in return.
"Well your luck is in, as I am the chief of police." Charlie seemed extra smug.
Patrick laugh made me roll my eyes, "what trouble can I get into here!" Patrick nodded "well be good, I'll see you in a week."
I sat still as Charlie waved off Patrick closing the door then stared to me, neither of us had been in a conversation before and I didn't know how to start it.
"So how's school?" Charlie asked the first question. It was a simple question, but then I just looked up.
"I'm failing and get kicked out a lot." I didn't mean to sound cruel, but just the tone I couldn't budge from my mind.
"So Bella, I told her to be home early." Charlie cleared his throat looking from me to the front door.
I never said much more, Charlie moved to the living room and turning the TV on.
I sat alone in the kitchen I stared to the yellow cabinets. The room was bigger than my kitchen at home. Things started falling into place; the fact was Patrick had been planning this, right under my nose. He wanted to have a new start in Forks and I was being slowly migrated into this tiny crap hole of a town.
The door opened and Bella's laugh filled the hall, then with a male voice. It was soft more of a song than a spoken voice and I jumped to my feet to get a closer look.
"Edward no my cousin is going to be here." Bella's voice was light looking to the living room.
"I'm home dad" She seemed to glow as she stuck her head into the living room.
I peeked throw the gap in the door from the hall to the kitchen, but his eyes caught mine. I lost my breath his eyes wasn't like most eyes an orange possible gold and looked to me. Biting my lip I shut the door going back to the table sitting down, something about him wasn't normal.
His skin for one, a marble white like a walking statue he looked like a male model and he was with Bella.
I heard Charlie move in the chair. "Bell's I told you, it was today!" "Sorry I thought tomorrow," Bella's voice panic and the male voice spoke again.
"Is she shy?" the voices stopped, I kept staring at the door.
Charlie sighed and I heard it clear as day.
"No just, going through a bad time…" He spoke softly, but I heard it like ringing in my ears.
I bit my lip. Was that all I was, a charity case. My mother died so everyone must be nice to me. My throat was tight and I made my mind up, I wasn't going to speak to them not one word.
The kitchen door opened after a few minutes, Bella walked in alone the male wasn't with her.
She sat down next to me. After about a minute past she caught my eyes.
"I'm sorry Lou." Her voice was soft and she raised her arms to me, I never moved but looked forward.
"Did you kill her?" my voice shacking and uneven and Bella placed her hands on the table. She didn't answer.
"Then why are you sorry?" I added the tone of my voice dry I tried to avoid her stares, her brown eyes always pulling in.
"Louise," I placed my hands to the table top.
"Don't bother; we haven't spoken since we were kids, so you don't have to pretend to be my friend."
That wasn't much true the last time I saw Bella I was about eleven and she was thirteen, I knew it couldn't be as simple as it used to be.
Bella sighed, "I'm not pretending Lou, I never knew…" Her voice filled with a hidden pain, she loved her aunt.
I turned to her, our eyes meet, her face a light pink from a faded blush and mine was stone white.
"I don't want to be felt sorry for Bella!" I could feel my guard slowly slipping away.
She smiled, "fine, but I was looking forward to seeing you." her voice sincere.
I relaxed placing my arms around her; she returned the hug in silence holding each other.
"Plus you get to meet my boyfriend." The happy tone back to her voice, she was getting excited.
I broke the hug then stared. "That guy, his your boyfriend?" I pointed to the hall and her face followed.
"Yes, his in the living room with Charlie." her voice a whisper and I tilted my head.
"Yeah I know, me having a boyfriend." She giggled with a fresh blush over her cheeks.
I burst into a fit of giggles. The first time in years and it felt weird coming from my mouth.
Bella couldn't hold hers in much more than I could.
"Sorry Bell, just, well boys" my voice was like a five year old and she shock her head.
"What your, how old now Louise?" she asked giving me a shove
"I'm sixteen!" I poked back at her arm.
She made smiling contagious and I started to see an upside to Forks. "Come on, his a little intimidating at first, but you'll like him." Bella took my attention.
I laughed light, "I'll be the judge."
But then I couldn't stop the sinking feeling that was building in my stomach.
Bella lead me into living room Charlie sitting on the sofa with his feet up.
The male was sitting on the chair alone, his eyes unblinking at the TV.
My chest tightened my hands locking up to my mothers cross I worn and never took of.
His eyes turned from the TV to Bella, then finally on me. I gasped feeling his eyes my mind a fog. The seconds felt like hours and the moment making my lungs tighten around me, then black.
Bella beside me and Charlie raising my head, "Lou, are you ok?" his voice panic and Bella's boyfriend was gone.
I didn't know where until he returned through the door with a bowl of water and a flannel. I would say he walked but his feet glided on the floor and my eyes kept on him, some reason his eyes looking into mine.
It was like he was in my head, and I gasped for air as Bella patted the cloth to me burning skin.
"Is she ok?" the male's voice sung above my head and I could see his voice directed to Bella. I blinked noticing I was back to my feet, Charlie still watching the TV as was Edward.
Bella stared to me, "you ok?" I nodded.
"I just, I'm fine" finding my focus. I kept staring into the eyes of the male.
"Edward Cullen." Bella's voice now comes into focus, "my cousin, Louise."
Nothing had Happened, I was seeing things again.
Since I could remember, I'd see things that wasn't there, predict things that was unexplainable.
"Hello," I mumbled reaching my hand to his. Edward reached for my hand shaking quickly; I pulled my hand back shaking it warm. "Bad circulation?" I added his laughed light and Bella laughed to, it was like they was sharing an inside joke.
"You can say that…" he kept staring into my eyes, "so, what you think of Forks?" His question caught me off guard.
Bella's eyes shot to him, but I answered.
"I think its fine," but his stare made my stomach lurch.
I couldn't think hearing the phone starting to ring loud echoing around me.
No one was paying attention to the ring; I covered my ears feeling confused. "Is someone getting that?" I shouted over the ringing, but then the room stared to me.
"You feel ok?" Charlie laughed watching my face, clearly not hearing.
The ringing was louder, but no one moved. I then tried to not focus, but Edward had intense eyes staring at me.
I then close my eyes trying to stop myself turning purple with frustration.
When I opened my eyes Charlie had gotten to his feet.
The ringing wasn't as loud but every heard it this time.
"Oh that must be Billy." Charlie's voice light and then I could feel not only Edward's eyes staring but Bella's.
"What?" I asked they kept quite.
When Charlie returned smiling wide I finally moved sitting down next to him.
I never followed sport but with Patrick and uncle they spent the time watching it to unwind.
Bella sat in front of Edward but I knew his eyes kept glancing at me, I avoid glancing in his direction.
Charlie broke the silence first, as what I was pretending to watch finished.
"So Bell, you got a plan for you and Lou tomorrow?" he asked trying to start a conversation between us all.
I bit my lip, I didn't like being around Edward I could feel him in my mind, his eyes stared from Charlie to me.
"I was thinking going down to Port Angeles." Her voice bright, Edward touching her shoulders in affection but I couldn't shake his presence in my head.
"Can it be just us girls?" I spoke quickly my voice a squeak.
Charlie nodded, "that's good cos Billy and me are gonna go fishing, seems weather is going to be clear tomorrow."
I turned to Bella her face wasn't on us, but Edward's
"It seems I won't be able to make it." Edward's voice sung lighter, "I am going to go camping with my brothers."
He started to stand, "and I think it's time I made a move home." He added finally with a crooked smile.
Bella got to her feet with him, her hand holding onto his arm.
They left the room, leaving me and Charlie together.
Charlie stared to me, "he is a nice kid!"
I blinked, "I didn't say he wasn't…" My voice confused.
Charlie chuckled again, "well you don't mind the sofa bed, Bella can help and I'm" he pointed to the door, and I politely nodded as he left.
I was grateful he shut the door behind him; I sneaked to the door Charlie's feet gone over the squeaky floor board. I place my ear to the door listened to Bella and Edward talking.
"So what is she thinking?" Bella asked hungry.
I twinge my nose, but kept quite.
"She's hard to pin point…" Edward's voice was like he was focusing deeply on something.
Bella's voice lowered, "you can hear, I mean…"
I knew she was biting her lip, funny how we both did it.
"I don't know it's more like an un-tuned radio." Edward's voice getting lower but I kept track it well.
"But the phone thing!" Bella sounded panicked.
"I know, but has she had anything like that happen before this?"
Bella tapping her foot on the floor, "once, when I was six, she was just four, but she…" Bella laughed, "We both talk in out sleep."
Edward laughed but I just wanted them to carry on talking.
"Well, anyway, she kept saying about, well, falling trees, boom, there going to burn."
Edward made an agreement hum.
"But then the next morning, my dad got a call, a forest fire got out control, and," Bella stopped, "his car was crushed by a falling tree, and exploded!"
Edward laughed," well, it just might be your interpretation."
Bella sighed, "Makes me feel lest special if you can't hear her thoughts…"
My throat tightened again. What she mean read my thoughts.
"Well I better go…" Edward spoke softly, I had trouble keeping track of the conversation, I felt my heart pounding hard.
"You're not going to stay." Bella's voice sounding like a plead.
"No, give you time to catch up with your Cousin." Edward's voice faded to the street.
"Ok, night." she giggled.
"Night," Edward replied, I could hear the sound of a car roar to life, then driving away.
I quickly rushed back to the sofa and started to look for the pulley to get the bed to unfold. Bella opened the door and smiled.
"I'll help," she added but my face kept to the sofa.
"It might be easier with light." I said my toneless voice was back. What kind of freak, was she dating?
"Good point," she went to the switch. The light flooded the room and I found the pulley me and Bella having to pull together.
"So what you think?" she asked me staring deep into my eyes.
"Not the Ritz but it will do." I rubbed my sweaty hands on my jeans looking to the tiny sofa bed.
Bella raised her eyebrow, "No what you think about Edward?" she asked looking confused.
I shrugged. What was I to say; oh I think your boyfriend is a freak I didn't speak just avoided it.
"Come on!" she begged her brown eyes big.
I had to turn away from her, "his, cute." I couldn't think of anything to say but she took the answer.
"Me you Port Angeles…" she said helping me make a bed.
"Yeah sound cool." I felt my chest ease up and then I let out a yawn. "Well what time?" she spoke and my mind snapped to attention. "What!" I rubbed the side of my face.
She laughed, "Waking up" her voice calm.
I shrugged again my eyes looking to the window.
"Well how's nine sounds?" Bella kept her eyes on me.
"Sound fine." I replied she sighed from my lack of enthusiasm.
"You want bathroom first?" she asked and I nodded rushing off with my things.
When I had finished with the shower dressed for bed, she smiled wishing me goodnight as we crossed paths.
I didn't like the sinking feeling, but all I knew was Edward wasn't normal, I was going to find out what was wrong with him and why Bella never felt it like me.
