Hitchhiker Chapter 1:

BPOV
Here I am, stranded all alone in the middle of who knows where. My cloths clinging to my sides, soaking wet, and leaving a puddle beneath my feet. This is just perfect.
How did I get here? Hmm, good question, too bad the answer is so annoying to think about. How about I'm an idiot for dating such an ass, and trusting him in the first he told me we would have fun yesterday, I pictured a candle-lit picnic, with a soft blanket and sparkling lake. What I didn't realize was that Mike's idea of fun and mine were two different things. His idea was to drink away his and my money, and drive around barely avoiding a car accident. Guess which one I had to go through?
At some point, we had an arguement. I had asked him to let me drive, because it was evident that we would crash if I didn't. Or we could just have a miracle, but I thought me driving would be got pissed at my nagging and dumped me on the road. I guess that must have been my miracle.
Now all I can do is sit and wait for a car to come by, and hope that they help me out. Otherwise I'm screwed. Until then, I'm just sitting on the damp grass (that's making me itch terribly by the way), and stare at the deserted road.Joy.
Something clicked in my head as a I glanced at my purse. I had grabbed some chips at the bar. I hastily opened my purse to reveal two bags of chips and a mini water bottle. I opened one of the two bags, took four out, wrapped it back up, and saved the rest. I savored the salty taste and when I was finished with my mini-feast, I refrained from grabbing more. I needed them to last, or I would eventually starve. That wouldn't exactly help matters.
Braking me from my string of thoughts, was the most wonderful sound: a car. I looked up to see a beat up,blue car, drinving along the road. Without another moment to think, I started waving frantically at the car. Please stop. Please stop. Please stop. My new mantra, I just hope I won't need it for much longer. The car rolled to a stop in front of me, and the driver rolled down his windows.
" How much do you work for, Babe?" He asked, grinning a weird toothless grin. Eww.
"I'm s-sorry?" I managed to stutter.
"What are your prices?" he asked, wiggling his eyebrows. Gross, he thinks I'm a prostitute. "Or are you free?" I gasped and pushed away from the car.
"Never mind just go away!" I yelled. I don't need a ride that bad.... or do I?
The man just shook his head, and drove off muttering things like "Feisty" and "The hot ones never bite". I shivered uncomfortably.
This may be harder than I thought. Then again, when did I ever think this would be easy? Never. I sat back down on the grass, and stretched out my legs. Closing my eyes, I let the wind play with my hair and tickle my jaw. If I had any clue to where I am, or how to get beck to familiar territory, then I would be in total pesce right now. Strangely enough, I was actually some what peaceful. The quiet engulfing me, and my steady breathing was just to calming. My eyelids are starting to droop, but to be honest I don't care at the moment.
The last thing i remember before I fell asleep was a silent wish. Please, let me find someone who calms me.... The wind can only help for so long.

Screech, Screech! crowed a bird out of nowhere.
"Shut up!" I shouted groggily, as I slowly woke up from a deep sleep. Noting the change in my position, I wrapped my arms around my legs. I must have been cold last night, because I was in the fetal position.
I sat up slowly, and rubbed my aching back. My purse was still right next to me and my cellphone was still smashed to pieces in the middle of the road where the car ran over it yesterday. At least I wasn't bothered last though, it's obvious I'm still stranded. I looked up and saw that th esky was now pitch black, only slightly lit by the millions of stars twinkling above. They probably have so much fun up there, they must have it so easy....
I've officially gone crazy. Envying stars now are we? IDIOT! I screamed at myself. It's true, so why deny my own voice?
A flash overtook my vision for a second,and I heard tires rolling not to far from here. A bus! I stood up quickly and shielded my eyes as best I could from the light. Headlights! I could deal with a bus, and they have to pick me up, don't they? I did the frist thing that came to mind, and stuck my thunb 's the basic hitchhikers symbol.Duh... The light cut off and the vehical had stopped in front of me.
I opened my eyes to see not a bus, but a R.V. The doors opened, and a really burly, tall, and intimidating man got out. I would have shuddered at his appearence, had he not been smiling such a friendly smile. He kinda looks like a teddy bear. I smiled weakly back at him, embarassed at my situation.
"Hey there. You lost?" he asked smiling.
"Uh, yeah." I said blushing, but I don't think he can tell because it's pitch black outside. He laughed and raised his eyebrows. His eyes looked amused.
"Now why would a pretty lady like yourself be out here all along at such a late hour?" he inquired again. I shrugged a little.
"I uh... Long story." came my brilliant explaination.
" Well why don't you just hop in and maybe we can find a way to get you home?" He gestured toward the monster of transportation.
I just smiled appreciatively at his kindness, and nodded. "Thank you." I whispered.
"Your welcome." He whispered back, then chuckled. "I'm Emmett by the way." he said in his normal voice. He pulled me toward the R.V. and I walked up the two stairs behind him. "Welcome aboard the three Cullen express. We have luxury seats and of course roasted peanuts." He took me behind a small cloth separater into the next section, where two guys were in the room. One was sitting down at the table for four, reading a book. When he saw me come in he looked up and smiled a little. He had great blond hair, and was really lanky. His height was probably alomst twice mine and nice teeth to.
I nearly stopped breathing when I looked at the second one. He had bronze wind-blown hair, and gorgeous green eyes. His eyebrows weren't too bushy or too thin and his jaw line was prominent and masculin. He too was tall, but not as tall as the blond one. He wasn't as bulky and muscled as Emmett, but he looked toned none the less. Did I start droolling?
All of my oogling stopped when I noticed he was grimacing at me. He didn't catch me staring did he?
"Meet my two brothers Jasper." he motioned to the blond one, who tipped an invisible hat. " and Edward." he motioned to the beautiful bronze one, who continued to frown at me. "The sourpuss" Emmett finished. I blushed at the attention I was getting.
"Pleasure to meet you, Ms..." he trailed off.
"Isabella... but you can c-call me Bella." I stuttered. "Thanks for... being so... nice. I don't know how long I'd be out there, if it weren't for you guys stopping." I smiled a little and Jasper said no problem. Edward just nodded one firm nod.
"Well, I'm going to go hide my valuables." He finally spoke, in an irritated tone, and left the room, towards what I guessed to be the next section.
"Don't worry about him, he just being a retard." Jasper said.
Something told me that this trip was going to be long. How could i keep myself from staring at that masterpiece of a man, when he obviously hates me?
