BELLA POV
I looked in the mirror one last time. My long brown hair fell in waves to the middle of my back, I was wearing a simple pair of jeans and a warm hoodie. I was about to brother today, who I didn't even know I had. I always knew I was adopted by my parents they told me at a young age. I didn't care at all but it was only a few months ago when they told about my brother, about the family I never knew. I was scared and nervous at the thought. What if he didn't accept me for who I am? I shrugged it off and remembered my parents Charlie and Renee (that's what they told me to call them) telling me the day I was told about my brother.
-Flashback-
"Bella honey. We need to tell you something." Renee said solemnly as she and Charlie sat down at the kitchen table. I was on my in to make some lunch and then go back upstairs and study for a little while longer.
"Yeah sure, what is it?" I asked sitting down opposite them
"it's about your biological family." Charlie said watching me carefully. My mouth went dry. I didn't know much about my real family, except for the fact that they had put me up for adoption because they wouldn't have been able to afford the living expensive with raising another child and that they lived somewhere in Washington. Suddenly I was interested at what Charlie and Renee where going to tell me but still feeling cautious. We never spoke about them unless we had too. I might have been fine with being adopted but it was still a touchy subject for me.
"What about them?" I asked slowly looking at Charlie and Renee.
"Well. We just found out today that your parents. Your real ones died last night.." Renee said sadly. I looked down. "We found out after they passed last night and have been trying to find a way of letting you know."
"Oh." I said sadly letting reality hit that I was never going to meet them now even if I wanted to. "But what has that got to do with me?" I asked.
"Well. The adoption agency rang us today to tell us the bad news and something else." Charlie said looking at his wife for support. "When they told us about it, they also mentioned your parents had a son who called in and told them. They said he knew about you while he was growing up and that he had been trying to find out who you are but didn't really know anything about you." He said.
"So you mean to tell me that I have a brother. An actual brother?" I asked sounding and feeling a little shocked at that new. They both nodded. "So what's going on then? Why do you look so sad?"
"Well your brother rang us a little earlier this morning and..." Renee looked close to tears. "He...He..." she couldn't finish and let the tears escape letting them fall down her cheeks before she wiped them away with a handkerchief Charlie passed her.
"He wants to know if you want to live with him in La Push. A reservation in Washington." Charlie finished looking sad almost close to tears himself.
I was shocked and taken aback. This guy I didn't even know who claimed to be my be my brother wanted me to go and live in the town where I was born. I didn't know what to think. "Oh...uh...I wasn't expecting that. Um...Did you grab his name and number?" I asked. Charlie nodded and slid a piece of paper toward me.
"We don't blame you if you want to leave." Renee said. "We're not about to stop you if you wanted to do anything about it."
I shook my head. "I want to call this..." I looked down at the piece of paper. "Sam guy and have him explain some things to me first before I make a decision." Renee and Charlie always knew that if I ever found out anything about my real family, I would talk to them about it first before making any rash decisions about leaving Charlie and Renee. They nodded and handed me the phone silently as I went upstairs squinting at the number Charlie wrote down in his messy scrawl to call my 'brother'.
-End Of Flashback-
Okay, so after talking to this Sam guy. I found out that my parents died in a car accident and that they regretted putting me up for adoption. He told me that I was a Quileute. And that he lived on a reservation close to the baech. Sam sounded nice and after a little coaxing I agreed to go and live with him. On one condition. I said I would go and live with him so we could get to know each other and become a family, as long as if I wanted to leave I could and that I Charlie and Renee could come over whenever they wanted. He reluctantly agreed to the letting me leave if I wanted part and said that he was going to organize a room for me at his house and a plane trip over, which I refused and said that I would pay for myself.
So today was that day that I would be leaving Arizona to live in Washington. My room was packed with all my clothes and necessities that I would take with me, into suitcases. I grabbed the last one and took one last look at the room which I had lived in for the last eighteen years. There was going to be so many memories that I was going to leave behind. Part of me was going to miss this place, but another part of me was happy I was going to meet my brother. I closed the door and made my way down the hall to where Charlie and Renee were waiting so they could drop me off at the airport.
About an hour later we were pulling up to the airport. I grabbed my bags out of the boot and we walked slowly towards the doors that would lead me to my new future home. I went through the necessary steps to get my luggage checked to make sure I wasn't carrying drugs or weapons. As we walked toward the terminal each step I took was getting harder and harder to leave Charlie and Renee behind. When we got to the gate Charlie handed me a card for a car dealership.
"Now listen Bells. You're not going to argue with us but Renee and I decided that we would buy you a car that you could use. We called up and organized for you to pick it up later on during the week when you've settled into your new home." He said.
"Thank you, but I cant accept it." I said trying to hand the card back.
Renee shook her head and wrapped her hands around mine squeezing them around the card. "Think of I as a goodbye present." She sadly. "We promise we will come down soon and call you occasionally as well." She said crying making me cry.
I heard the announcement for my flight and the three of us cried even more. I knew this was going to be hard, I would miss them so much, but I could only go so long without eventually finding out who my real family is. I bordered the plane waving goodbye as I walked toward my future.
-A few hours later
I was happy to finally get off the plane, but sadly I wasn't happy about the rain that welcomed me to my new home. It was grey and dull. Where was the colour, the sun. Oh well I thought. I'm going to have to get used to this weather then. I got off the plane and started walking to the terminal where I was going to pick up my bags and meet my brother. Sam had told me that he would meet me at the cafe and the seat he was sitting at outside. I grabbed my bags, went through security one last time and went to the cafe I was to meet Sam at. I had a trolley thing so that I could put my three suitcases on to and went to find my brother. I saw a man sitting out the front of the cafe. He looked tall, he had black hair, black eyes and tanned skin. He looked as though he was in his early twenties. I bit my lip and walked up to him.
"Hi are you Sam Uley?" I asked.
SAM POV
I was nervous about meeting my sister. I knew about her growing up and her name. I was just never able to find her anywhere. I knew mom and dad regretted not giving her up. But I was happy they did. I was glad that she never saw what our father did to our mother. It was then I saw a young girl start to look at me. I gasped. She looked a lot like mum. She had the same long brown almost black wavy hair, same brown eyes, height, skin everything. She was a spitting image and I knew that this had to be Isabella.
"Hi are you Sam Uley?" she asked. Damn she even sounded like mom. I shook myself out of my daze and realised she was talking to me.
"Uh yes. I am. You must be Isabella Swan." I said extending my hand towards her. She smiled and shook it.
"Please, call me Bella." She said sitting down opposite me. "So we finally meet." She said still grinning trying to fill the silence between us.
"yes. I guess we do. Would you like to order something?" I asked politely. She shook her head.
"No thanks." She said politely. "So Sam. How old are you?" she asked.
"I've recently turned 21." I said smiling.
"Oh. Well happy late Birthday." She said teasingly. I smiled back at her, she was easy going and it seemed that we were going to get along just fine.
"So...How about we go back to my place and then I can introduce you to my fiancé and the rest of my friends and from there we can work out what you want to know and I can tell you all about our parents, our heritage and anything else you want to know." I explained. She nodded.
"Sounds like a good idea." She grinned. "You know I had always hoped that I would meet my real family one day, and then when my adoptive parents Charlie and Renee told me what happened I was sad because I knew in that moment that I would never get to meet them and then I found out about you and I was so happy that I still had someone."
"I know how you feel." I said quietly. "Now lets get going. My fiancée cant wait to meet you." I stood up and placed my hand on her trolley and much to her objections of me pushing it we made our way out of the airport and to one of my friend's Paul's car that he leant me for today, for the drive home.
BELLA POV
We arrived at Sam's house. It looked more like a cottage to me, but it wasn't that small. The front porch was built around a beautiful looking tree. It was quaint the forest area surrounding the house made it seem more private then it really was. Sam grabbed my bags out of the tray attached to the truck making it seem effortless despite them being heavy. I grabbed one of the bags as we made our way into the house.
It was cosy inside and seemed to give off a feeling of a big family. I had only just stepped through the door before I was engulfed into a hug. "You must be Bella..." said a female voice. She pulled back to look at me. "I'm Emily, Sam's fiancé." She said extending her hand. I held my hand out to meet hers studying her features. She was very pretty. She had long black hair and satiny copper skin that contrasted nicely against her dark brown eyes. But despite how pretty she was there where three scars that started at her scalp and ended at her wrist. She caught me looking.
"I was attacked by a bear." She explained looking down at her arm trying to hide it from view.
I pulled her hands away. "Don't. I know I don't know you or Sam at all but, don't hide yourself away. Even people look and stare, its not something to be ashamed off. It makes you unique from everyone else. And you still radiate waves of happiness and beauty." I said before I could stop myself from saying it. I looked down embarrassed and noticed a tear in her eye.
She turned to Sam and smiled at him. "Just like her mother?" she asked him although it sounded more like a statement.
"You have no idea." He grinned. "Anyway Bella. Your bedroom is just down the hall the last bedroom on the right. We tried to um...decorate it and put in everything you need in there to." Sam said he and Emily grabbed a suitcase each and led me down the hallway to my new bedroom. It might have been small but I instantly fell in love with it. Sure there were no photos yet or any knick knacks but it was still a nice thought that they attempted to dress the room as best as they can. The walls were a light brown with trimmings between the white roof and the floor which had a crème coloured carpet.
"You didn't have to do this." I said turning to the both of them.
"We wanted to. You're the sister I never knew and desperately wanted to know. I want you to know that despite we don't know each other, you can always count on me." he said. I nodded and pulled them into a hug.
"So...When do I get to meet the rest of your friends?" I asked causing Sam to chuckle and Emily to grin. I had already loved them from the start. I knew I was going to be happy living here with them.
So i hope you like it :)
