Twins
Bella goes to live with her dad and twin brother, Jacob. But living with her brother has made her see his true colors. He isn't always the nice caring brother she thought she knew. He is the polar opposite of her. He gets away with everything, is extremely popular, and doesn't always treat Bella with the respect she deserves. But when his friend, or as Bella calls him, Jake's "Jerk" steps into her life, what will happen to Bella and Jacob's already falling apart relationship? (Team Jacob people might not like this story!)
Chapter One: Oh Brother
The plane flew high over California, heading towards Seattle, Washington. I had thankfully gotten a window seat, so I was occupied the entire way there. As I looked out the window, I thought back to the conversation I had had with my mother.
"Bella," My mom said, coming into my room.
"Yeah, mom?" I asked
"We need to talk," she said sitting on my bed.
"What about?" She sighed.
"Bella, you need to move in with your father and brother. Phil and I are getting married and with his tow daughters moving in there won't be enough space for you." She told me.
"Why not move in to a bigger house?" I asked.
"Pack your things. You're leaving in a week." She said, getting up to leave the room.
"A week? There is no way I am leaving in a week! Mom, I have a year and a half left of high school! I can't leave now!"
"Bella, for once in your life just do what you're told!" she yelled. "God, how did I ever get stuck with you? I so wish I had gotten Jacob." She said to herself. I gasped. How could she say that?
"Fine, I'll go, but there's no room at Charlie's either." I told her.
"Renee? Are you up there?" Phil called from the bottom of the stairs.
"Yes, honey." She said in a sweet voice.
"Did you tell her?" he asked quietly.
"Yes I did." She said proudly.
"Good," he said louder, putting his arm around my mother, "You should know that we both made this decision. We decided that since my girls were younger than you are, they wouldn't take well to change. Plus, your mom won't be as stressed as she used to. You leaving will take loads of stress of her shoulders." I starred at him.
"Get out of my room," I said quietly.
"Excuse me?" Phil asked.
"I said, get out of my room." I repeated.
"Don't you talk to me like that," he spat.
"It's still my room, now get out!" I said, pushing them out of the room. I slammed the door, and fell to the floor crying.
I came back to reality when the seatbelt lights came on. I sighed. I had always hated Forks, Washington, where my twin brother and father lived. It was always raining and the sun rarely shined. Living in Phoenix, Arizona was my heaven. I loved the sun, the heat, and was glad that it rarely rained. Forks and Phoenix were polar opposites. Yay, I thought sarcastically.
I got off the plane and grabbed my bags. Charlie and Jacob were supposed to be picking me up here and then we would drive back to Forks. That would be an interesting ride. None of us were talkative people. We were all alike in that aspect.
I spotted them sitting on a pair of benches, casually talking to each other. I caught Jacob's eye and he smiled. We hadn't seen each other in three years. We had been extremely close when we were little, but the divorce separated us and we had only seen each other every summer for two weeks. Renee had finally said that she wasn't paying for a ticket to fly me back and forth and that's when it ended.
I ran up to Jacob and threw my arms around him.
"It's good to see you, Bells." He said.
"I've missed you, Jake." I said through the tears. He pulled away, keeping me arms length away.
"You don't know how glad I am to see you." He said, smiling.
"Alright, enough with the sibling love let me hug my daughter." Charlie said standing next to us. I smiled and hugged him. He pulled away and looked down at my two bags, and guitar case. "Is that all you have?" He asked. I nodded.
"Most of my clothes were to revealing for Forks." I told him. He picked them up and led me to his police cruiser. I ended up sitting in the back seat. Jake gave me an apologetic smile for making me sit back there.
I sat silently back there as Jake and Charlie chatted quietly. The ride went faster than I thought it would have. Charlie pulled up in front of a small house he had lived in since before I was born. I got out and grabbed my bags and went inside. He led me to his office room and told me this was where I was going to be stay.
"Sorry about making you stay in here, Bella." He said. "We don't have the funds to get a proper bed right now so I had your brother set up a camping cot for you." I nodded and set my suitcase down. "Here's your dresser from when you were little." He said pointing towards a white dresser with flowers on it. "It's a little small, but it'll have to do until I get paid."
"No, its fine, dad," I told him.
"Well, then I'll leave you to unpack." He said, leaving the room. I sat down on the cot and looked around. It was already a small room but having the desk and shelf in there didn't help with my personal space.
I was putting my clothes in the dresser when I heard a soft knock on the door. I turned and saw Jake leaning against the door frame.
"Hey, uh I was gonna go out with some friends tonight. If you wanna come with you're more than welcome to." He said hopefully.
"Well, it was a long plane ride here and I have a lot of unpacking to do so I don't think I'm going to be able to go. Sorry Jake."
"Naw, its cool," he said, "I just didn't want you to be alone tonight." I smiled. Always like Jake to look out for me.
"Ya know what? Unpacking can wait until tomorrow." He beamed at me.
"Cool, now I can introduce you to my friends and you'll know some people at school tomorrow then." I nodded.
"Where are we going?' I asked.
"We're gonna go to a restaurant here in town. It's dad's favorite place, the Lodge."
"Oh yeah, I remember that place!" I said. "Cool, when are we leaving?"
"Whenever you're ready," Jacob said, "I'll leave you to get ready." He said walking out of the door, shutting it behind him. I sighed and sat on my "bed". I quickly rummaged through my suitcase and found a somewhat decent outfit to where. I put my hair up in a half pony and threw on some mascara and eyeliner and went downstairs
"Okay, I'm ready," I said getting my shoes on.
"Sweet," Jake said coming around the corner. "Hey," he said throwing keys at me. "You have to drive; I don't have my license yet." He said embarrassed. I smiled.
"It's whatever, and don't be embarrassed." I told him. "Which car are these for?" I asked. He pointed to a beat up old truck sitting in the grass on the other side of the garage.
"Well, it would supposed to be mine but I guess you can have it considering you're the only one who can drive it, other than dad." I laughed.
"Thanks. Now you have to give me directions because I haven't been to the lodge in a very long time." He gave me the directions and we were there in no time.
We got out and walked into the restaurant. Almost immediately, we were surrounded by people. Before I knew it I was being pushed out of the crowd and away from Jacob.
"Jake!" I called, but it was no use. It was now way to loud for him to hear me. I decided to just sit and wait for him to come and find me.
A waiter came and asked me if I would like anything, but I told him I didn't have any money on me. He said it was no charge, considering my brother brought so much business here, and seeing as how my dad was the police chief. I ended up just ordering coffee, thinking that Jake would find me at some point.
Three hours had passed, I had drank more coffee than anyone should in there life. I pulled out my cell and texted Jake that I was leaving and that I would see him at home. I got up and walked to the truck. I slowly drove home, trying not to get lost.
I got home and locked up the truck. I opened the front door and saw Jake pacing in the living room. He looked worried about something.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked. He whirled around to face me.
"Where have you been?" he asked.
"I was at the lodge with you remember? We got separated." I reminded him.
"We didn't you come find me?" he asked, angrily.
"I figured you would notice that your sister was missing and go look for her. I didn't know that this was my fault, our getting separated." I said furious that he would be mad at me for being left alone. "And how did you even get home?" I asked.
"My friend gave me a ride home. Why didn't you text me or something?" I rolled my eyes.
"I did! Look at your phone! I texted you right as I was leaving." He looked at his phone.
"Well it might have been a better idea to text me before I left." He said.
"How the hell was I supposed to know you were going to leave?" I nearly screamed. "I just don't understand how this is my fault? It's not my fault that your friends pushed me away from you. It's not my fault you didn't text me or even notice that I was gone. Why is it everything is always my fault?" I screamed. Not wanting to hear any more I went upstairs to my "room" and slammed the door. I sat on my bed fuming. How could this be my fault? Oh wait, I'm Bella Swan, everything is my fault. I took off my shoes and chucked one at my door. I laid back and stared at the ceiling. Needing to blow off some steam, I grabbed my guitar and song writing notebook.
I had been working on a song for the longest time. I had the melody but I had no words to go with them. I had such bad writers block and killed. Then it hit me. I quickly wrote down the idea and stared playing the song and sang the words to see how they fit.
Tell me where our time went
And if it was time well spent
Just don't let me fall asleep
Feeling empty again
Cause I fear I might break
and I fear I can't take it
Tonight I'll lie awake feeling empty
Felling loads better I put my guitar and my song book away. I changed into my pajamas and lay down on my "bed". I didn't know how I was going to take to being here for a long period of time.
I hated Forks with a passion, I hated the rain, the fact that the sun never shined. I loved living in Phoenix. It was warm and the sun always shined. That was what I needed, the sun. it was going to just about kill me to live here in Forks. I was just going to have to deal with that, though. I closed my eyes, trying to fall asleep, but with how hard it was raining, pounding against the roof, I doubted it would happen soon.
