*I know am bit late with this story but Twilight is finally on Netflix and watched the full saga and it's made me fall back in love with it so I have decided to make a story on it. Hope you like it*
Bella's POV:
Bella's face is turned upward to soak in the warm sun. I did wanna see my Mom. I wanted to know that her life was full by satisfying
"Aren't you gonna miss this? Don't you just feel the vitamin D soaking up in your pores?" Include her mother, Renee. They lie in chaise lounges pushed tightly together on the deck.
"Yeah, I'm gonna miss this"
You know, colleges in Florida are a lot sunnier. I'm just saying, if you go to university of Alaska I'm never gonna see you" Which is the point. Guilt washes over Bella. She takes Renee's hand, absently plays with the bracelet on her wrist, trying to soak up her mother as much as the sun
"They have a really great science program"
"You mean Edward program" Renee nudges Bella who smiles, looks inside the house.
Edward sits in an easy chair with a clear view of Bella. He offers a small wave, then turns back to his conversation with Phil, who lies on his back on the couch.
Renee squeezes her hand a beat, then glances back at Edward. "The way he watches you, It's like he's willing to leap in front of you, and take a bullet or something"
"Is that a bad thing?"
"It's an intense thing. You're different with him. If he moves, you move. Like magnets"
"I don't know, we're just... In love.
" I get it. I just want to make sure, you're making the right choices for you. You know, cause you're the one who's gonna have to live with the" Bella takes this in her choice much bigger than geographical location. Renee sees her face cloud. "Alright, enough with the heavy" She reaches under her chaise and pulls up a large box.
"Mom" Renee sets the box on Bella's lap "I didn't want you to spending you're money"
" I didn't, come on" Bella opens the box-to find a quilt. As she unfolds it, realises what it is, emotion wells up.
"Are these all our old trip T-shirts?"
"I saved them all. I thought they'd make a good quilt. To keep you warm up in Alaska. Remember this one? Ensanada."
Bella: The snake pit.
Renee nodded "Yep. But this one is my favourite. Here..."
"The three-headed lobster in Maine. This is amazing"
"No, honey. I'm glad you've like it. I just figured, you know, when you get older, have kids, We can add to it. Maybe go visit the world's largest catsup bottle or something. Thanks" Renee wraps the quilt around Bella. "Oh... I'm glad you like it" Bella suddenly hugs Renee as if for the last time, and perhaps it will be. "I just thought, you should have a little piece of me, up there in Alaska"
"I miss you"
"Oh, honey. I miss you too" Renee is a little surprised by Bella's emotionalism, but hugs her back.
Brie's POV:
I was heading home from my friend Ali's house when I seen a Volvo C30 in the driveway of the house. Suspicion creeped across my face as I walked nearer. I looked inside at the interior it was nice if I say so myself. I continued to inspect as my eyes came across a checked shirt. Not anyones shirt. Bellas. She was here? She didn't phone or text me to say she was visiting. I hadn't seen my sister for over 2 years when she decided to go visit my dad, Charlie. She must of loved it there to stay there permanently. I ran into the house and and seen Bella and my mom sitting in the garden on the sun loungers giggling away. A huge smile appeared on my face as I watched my mom and Bella having a catch up. Bella's head turned facing my direction and her smile grew as she seen me standing at the door.
"BRIE!" She jumped off my lounger and practically jumped into my arms. I couldn't hold my balance and we both fell onto the porch as our mom giggled at the scene.
"Ow Bella" I chuckled "You haven't changed a bit" hinting at her clumsiness. Bella stood up first and grabbed my hand to help me up "When did you get here?" I asked as I finally found my footing.
"Just under an hour ago. I came to see you and mom since I haven't seen you or spoken to you in a while" that was true usually me and Bella would talk on the phone for hours and if not we'd be texting back and forward but we kind of drifted as she must have been busy with school work. My attention drifted as soon as I seen a guy walk out from the corner of my eye. He walked over with a smile on his face as he put his arm around Bella.
"Uh, Brie this is my boyfriend Edward. Edward this is my sister Brianna" Bella smiled awkwardly as she didn't know how I would of reacted.
At first I was shocked to see that Bella had a boyfriend but then a smirk appeared on my face as I knew why she was soo busy now a days. "Hey. Nice to meet you" I offered my hand.
He smiled as he looked down at my hand. He shook my hand "Its nice to finally get to meet you. Bella is always talking to you"
My head shot back to Bella as I looked surprised "Oh really. Good things I hope" I smiled back at Edward "That's weird though she's never once mentioned you" I said as I crossed my arms.
Bella looked a little embarrassed as her eyes fell to the floor "I would of said but I have been really busy lately. Totally forgot to mention it"
I shook my head slowly as I looked in between the couple. Edward ended the silence that was in the air. "Umm. Bella I think we should take off. We've got a long drive a head of us"
"Your going already" I exclaimed. I haven't seen my sister in 2 years and I've only seen her for 5 minutes and she already has to take off.
"Yeah. We've got school in a few days so we'll need to get sorted for that" Bella said looking a little down as she was leaving "Hey why don't you come back with us?" Wait what? "Yeah come back with us. Charlie would love to see you"
"Charlie? You still call him that? He's our dad Bella. And besides what about school?" I asked.
"Char- dad will be able to get you transferred. Please" she begged "I would love for you to be in my life again"
I looked at my mom as a smiled sadly. I don't think she wanted me to leave but she thought it would be a good idea to visit my dad.
"If its okay with your father then I am willing to let you go" Renee smiled.
After I got the heads up from Bella I ran upstairs to pack. Once I got everything I needed I went back downstairs. Phil and my mother was outside standing next to the car as Bella and Edward got seated. I walked outside the house and popped my case into the boot of Edwards car.
"Brie" my mom said to me, interrupting my thoughts before I got in Edwards car.. "You's don't have to do this."
My mom looks like me, except with short hair and laugh lines. I felt a spasm of panic as I stared at her wide, childlike eyes. How could I leave my loving, erratic, harebrained mother to fend for herself? Of course she had Phil now, so the bills would probably get paid, there would be food in the refrigerator, gas in her car, and someone to call when she got lost, but still.
"I want to go," I wanted to go visit my dad. It would be a great escape from my mother and Phil. Don't get me wrong I love them both but they can be too smothering.
"Tell Charlie I said hi." My mother said with a smile.
"I will." I nodded
"I'll see you soon," she insisted. "You can come home whenever you want. I'll come right back as soon as you need me." She persisted.
But I could see the sacrifice in her eyes behind the promise. "Don't worry about me," I urged. "It'll be great. I love you, Mom."
She hugged me tightly for a minute and then hugged Bella and then we got on the plane, and she was gone. It a four-hour car ride from Phoenix to Seattle, another hour up to Port Angeles, and then an hour drive back down to Forks. Travelling doesn't bother me but the hour in the car with my dad I was a little worried about.
Charlie had really been fairly nice about the whole thing. He seemed genuinely pleased that I was coming to live with him for the first time with any degree of permanence. He'd already gotten me registered for high school. When we drove into Port Angeles, it was raining. I didn't see it as an omen just unavoidable. I'd already said my goodbyes to the sun. Charlie was waiting for me with the cruiser. This I was expecting, too. Charlie is Police Chief Swan to the good people of Forks. Nothing slows down traffic like a cop.
Charlie gave me an awkward, one-armed hug when I stepped out the car.
"It's good to see you,, Brianna," he said, smiling "How's Renée?"
"Mom's fine. It's good to see you, too, Dad." Most of my Arizona clothes were too permeable for Washington. My mom and I had pooled our resources to supplement my winter wardrobe, but it was still scanty. It all fit easily into the trunk of the cruiser.
"I am going to Edwards for a bit" bella smiled at Charlie. She looked back at me "I'll be home later. Have fun" she smiled at me as I gave her a uncomfortable smile. I got into the passenger side of the car as I waited for my dad to get into the car.
"Your hairs longer" Charlie said interrupting the silence.
"I cut it since the last time I saw you" I smiled softly.
"I guess it grew out again" I nodded and turned towards the window as the cruiser drives through the logging town. We exchanged a few more comments on the weather, which was wet, and that was pretty much it for Conversation. I stared out the windows in silence. It was beautiful, of course; I couldn't deny that. Everything was green: the trees, their trunks covered with moss, their branches hanging with a canopy of it, the ground covered with ferns. Even the air filtered down greenly through the leaves.
Eventually we made it to Charlie's. He still lived in the small, two story house that he'd bought with my mother in the early days of their marriage. Brie and Charlie carry in her bags. The house isn't stylish but it's comfortable, lived-in. Lots of fishing memorabilia; photos of Charlie fishing with Quileute Indian Billy Black. Handmade cards to "Daddy" and photos of Brie and Bella. I winces at herself, age 7, in a tutu, sitting stubbornly on the ground.
It took only one trip to get all my stuff upstairs. I got the west bedroom that faced out over the front yard. The room was familiar; it had been belonged to me since I was born. The wooden floor, the light blue walls, the peaked ceiling, the yellowed lace curtains around the window these were all a part of our childhood. The only changes Charlie had ever made were switching the crib for a bed and adding a desk as I grew. The desk now held a secondhand computer, with the phone line for the modem stapled along the floor to the nearest phone jack. This was a stipulation from my mother, so that we could stay in touch easily. The rocking chair from my baby days was still in the corner.
There was only one small bathroom at the top of the stairs, which I would have to share with Charlie. I was trying not to dwell too much on that fact. One of the best things about Charlie is he doesn't hover. He left me alone to unpack and get settled, a feat that would have been altogether impossible for my mother. It was nice to be alone, not to have to smile and look pleased; a relief to stare dejectedly out the window at the sheeting rain and let just a few tears escape.
Forks High School had a frightening total of only three hundred and fifty-seven now fifty-eight students; there were more than seven hundred people in my junior class alone back home. All of the kids here had grown up together their grandparents had been toddlers together.
I would be the new girl from the big city. Maybe, if I looked like a girl from Phoenix should, I could work this to my advantage. But physically, I'd never fit in anywhere. I should be tan, sporty, blond — a volleyball player, or a cheerleader, perhaps all the things that go with living in the valley of the sun.
I had always been slender, but soft somehow, obviously not an athlete; I didn't have the necessary hand-eye coordination to play sports without humiliating myself and harming both myself and anyone else who stood too close.
When I finished putting my clothes in the old pine dresser, I took my bag of bathroom necessities and went to the communal bathroom to clean myself up after the day of travel. I looked at my face in the mirror as I brushed through my tangled, damp hair. Maybe it was the light, but already I looked sallower, unhealthy. My skin could be pretty it was very clear, almost translucent-looking but it all depended on colour. I had no colour here.
Facing my pallid reflection in the mirror, I was forced to admit that I was lying to myself. It wasn't just physically that I'd never fit in. And if I couldn't find a niche in a school with three thousand people, what were my chances here?
I didn't relate well to people my age. Maybe the truth was that I didn't relate well to people, period. Even my mother, who I was closer to than anyone else on the planet, was never in harmony with me, never on exactly the same page. Sometimes I wondered if I was seeing the same things through my eyes that the rest of the world was seeing through theirs. Maybe there was a glitch in my brain. But the cause didn't matter. All that mattered was the effect. And tomorrow would be just the beginning.
I heard a honk outside. I walked up to the window to see my dad going out the house to greet the person who pulled up at the house. I walked down the stairs to meet the mystery guest. I walk out to find my dad greeting the driver who was of course Jacob Black. I remembered him from when we were young. He was the boy who was in love with Bella. Smitting at such a young age. Adorable. I watched as my dad and Jacob help Billy into a wheelchair.
My dad notices me standing at the doorstep and decides to reintroduce me to our guests "Brie remember Billy Black"
Billy gives me a smile "Glad you're finally here. Charlie hasn't shut up about it since you told him you were coming"
Charlie rolls his eyes "Keep exaggerating, I'll wheel you down the hill"
"Right after I ram you in the ankles" Billy takes several rolls at Charlie, who dodges.
Jacob shakes his head at their two fathers as he shyly approaches me. "I'm Jacob. We made mud pies together when we were little kids"
"Oh yeah I remember. And I also remember you having a huge crush on my sister? Is that still the case" I playfully nudge him. His eyes fell to the ground as his cheeks lit up. I smirked as I seen him looking flushed. My eyes wander down his chest as he wearing a tight top that outlined his muscles and abs. Of he was fit. I was tempted to touch his chest with my finger but I held my temptation together. I looked over at my dad who was still dodging Billy. "Are they always like that?"
Jacob looked up as he turned towards his dad and Charlie. A smile appears on his face "Yeah it comes with old age"
I could feel Jacob's eyes on me as I watch my dad and Billy messing about. A smile crept on my face as I watched on. My dad was happy. He doesn't need mom or any other women to make him happy. He has his best friend and two loving daughters to do that. Well once I have a proper catch up with my dad. I wanted to get to know him again and catch up on what I've missed out. I have missed him so much when I was back in Arizona and now wish I had came out regularly to see him. A biggest regret of mine. I could still feel Jacobs eyes on me and I turned my attention towards him and watched him as he quickly turned his head from me, hoping I didn't catch him staring. He coughed.
"So do you go to forks high school?" I asked breaking the tension.
"I go to school at the reservation"
I nodded looking down, feeling a little gloomy "Too bad. Would've been nice to know at least one person"
"Don't worry. You'll have Bella" He said trying to cheer me up.
"She's my sister that's different. Besides she'll have Edward by her side. He can't seem to keep his eyes off her which is awfully unsettling" the though gave me shudders.
Jacob chuckled at the comment but his face dropped "Yeah well it looks like he'll be around for a while longer"
The realisation came across my face as I knew he was still madly in love with Bella "Hey. For what's its worth. I wish she had picked you" He looked up at me "He is just so creepy and weird. He's like an emotionless statue. And his hair oh god don't get me started on his stupid hair" I groaned. Jacob chuckled and slightly nudged me. I laughed along with him. At least I can make someone smile I guess. "Honestly forget Bella. If she cant see what's in front of her then its her loss. Trust me once shes out of sigh, out of mind then you can finally move on and be happy"
