A/N: New story time! I was hoping to have more of this pre-written before I began posting, but I couldn't wait! :D I'll probably update every other day, so the next update will be monday. Chapters will have about 1500 - 2000 words in :)
For now, I see it all being in all Bella's point of view, but a couple of Edward chapters may be throw in there! :P
Summary: Alice discovers she has another brother, a secret that could possible tear apart her whole family. Bella, Alice's best friend, gets to know the new brother, as he barely speaks to anyone, never revealing anything about his past. Will the Cullen family stay together? What happened in Edward's past? Geekward! All in BPOV, AH, R&R!
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, I just borrow the characters for fun!
Bella:
"I have a brother!" Alice, my best friend since forever, squeals at me.
We both live in the same small town of Forks, Washington. Everyone knows everyone here, and it just so happened that my parent's and Alice's parents became best friends. I've lived in Forks all my life, but Alice moved here with her parents and brother Emmett when she was two and he was four.
Ever since our parents became friends, we became best friends, and have been ever since. In everything else, we don't match at all. Well, we're both really small. Anyway, Alice has short, black hair, with bright emerald green eyes, and more of a petite figure. I have long brown hair, with matching brown eyes, and a curvier figure. Oh, and Alice loves shopping for clothes while I'd rather read a book. We do, of course, have other friends, but none that we're as close to.
"Alice, in case you forgot, you already have a brother! His name's Emmett, looks like a giant teddy bear on steroids, plays on the Seattle football team and lives there with his girlfriend Rosalie, otherwise known as Queen Bee for Bitch." Rosalie got that nickname since, when she was at Forks high; she was always known as the school bitch, or queen bee. Alice and I simply merged those names, although Emmett always tells us Rosalie is actually a very lovely person. Yeah, I'll believe that when hell freezes over. Which means never.
"Not him, you doofus! This guy just turned up at our house, with an older woman, claiming to be my brother!" Alice says excitedly into the phone.
"What? Wait, so the first thing you decided to do was to call me, then?" I giggle a little at that. In times of emergencies, we call each other first.
"I know! Yeah, but now I'm gonna have to hang up so I can go downstairs and find out more! Byeeee!" Alice hangs up then, and I'm left shocked. She has a brother? How old is he? How did this even happen?
Anyway, the new school year starts soon, senior year, so I need to make sure I have everything I need. Ok, that doesn't take too long, but still.
Forks High School is like any other high school, really. Everyone has their own little circles of friends, people they hang out with. There are the popular people, where most of the boys are made up of football or other sports teams, and the girls are all cheerleaders. Then you have the rebels, the people who don't care about what grades they get, and are almost always high. There are also the nerds, who only care about the latest video game and whoever can complete it first. Also, there are some outcasts, who are socially awkward, so they be socially awkward together. I know that if I didn't have Alice I'd be with them. All your typical high school clichés, really.
Finally, there are the randomers. I.e., Alice and me. We don't really have a set circle of friends. We mingle. We could be called the minglers… Anyway, we have a couple of friends who are cheerleaders, a couple who are nerds, a socially awkward person, and that's about it. It's not as if we're particularly clever or popular, but we do well in school and have friends.
I remember when I went out with Mike Newton for a couple of months. He's on the football team, so I was made popular. But, most of the cheerleaders hated me, and so Mike and I broke up soon after. I wasn't that heart broken, really.
"Bells, can you come down here for a minute!" My dad, Charlie the chief of police in this small town, shouts up to me.
"Yeah!" I shout back before noisily running and tripping down the stairs. It's a well-known fact I'm not the most graceful of people. Once I get to the living room, I see my mother, Renée, and my dad sitting on the sofa. "Um, am I in trouble, or something?" I'm not in trouble often, but I remember I was grounded for two weeks once when Alice and I made a tree house without telling our parents, and I ended up falling from it and breaking my arm.
"No, not at all, honey. We've just had a distraught Esme call us, saying that apparently Carlisle had an affair which resulted in a child." My mum explains. Well, that explains Alice's other brother.
"What? When was this? How old is the boy?" I ask both of them. Esme and Carlisle are the epitome of a happily married couple; I can't imagine Carlisle ever doing something like that.
"Wait, how did you know the child is a boy?" My mother asks.
"Uh…Alice called me. All she said was that she had a brother though." I mutter sheepishly.
"I should have known." Mum mutters. "Right, well, this affair supposedly happened before the Cullen's moved to Forks. The boy is 17 years old, and in the same year as you and Alice."
"So that means Carlisle had an affair while his wife was pregnant?" I'm outraged. I've always thought of the Cullen's as my second family, but right now I'm disgusted by Carlisle.
"I think that's part of the reason why Esme is so distraught. Anyway, they're going to do a paternity test on the boy and Carlisle, but apparently the mother has already run off. She only stopped long enough to explain the boy was Carlisle's son, and then she fled." My mum tells me.
"How could a mother do that? I mean, he's her son." This situation just gets more and more messed up.
"Esme said the boy's mother was a prostitute, and that she barely had enough money to provide for the boy. He's apparently in clothes way too small, and his glasses are cracked all over. And, Esme being Esme, she feels sorry for him, and so has welcomed him into their home." My mum seems moved by this, as well. I'm moved by this.
"That's so sad… What's the boy's name? When will the paternity tests be done?" I ask hurriedly.
"The boys name is Edward Masen. The paternity tests will take about three or four days, but Esme is already pretty certain the boy is Carlisle's. Apparently, aside from hair colour, he's the spitting image of Carlisle when he was younger. He even has the same emerald green eye colour like Alice and Carlisle." My dad explains.
"Is Esme…is she going to leave him? Carlisle?" I ask nervously. If I was in her place, I have no idea what I'd do. Carlisle and Esme have always seemed so in love; I can't believe what he's done.
"She doesn't know, yet. Carlisle insists it was a one-time thing, but Esme doesn't have much trust in him right now." My mother is sad, I can tell, since Carlisle and Esme are her best friends.
I nod, and then go back upstairs. I see my phone is ringing, so I run to answer it. It's probably Alice.
"Bella, everything is so messed up! I feel so sorry for him, Edward, but a small part of me resents him! My parents could get a divorce or something. I don't want them to break up!" Alice wails into the phone.
"Shhh, everything will be fine, Alice. I mean, it's not every day you get a new sibling, is it? Have you spoken to Edward?" I don't know what I'd do if I were in Alice's place, either.
"Yeah, a bit." She sniffles, and I hope she's stopped crying. No one likes seeing their best friend upset.
"What's he like?" I ask gently.
"He seems nice. He's really clever, as well. I think you'll like him." Alice seems happier now, which is good.
"Really? When can I meet him?" I ask, quite looking forward to meeting the new Cullen.
"Probably when we go back to school on Monday. I think he's going there, too." Alice tells me.
"So he's going to stay, then?" I bring the conversation back to the more serious topic.
"Yes, I think so. We are all pretty certain that he's my brother. But, I'm scared of how Emmett will react. He's coming home for a few days, so we're going to tell him in person. Oh, and he's bringing Queen Bee for Bitch." Alice laughs.
"I'm sure things will be fine. Damn, I hate Queen Bee. What does your brother see in her?" I laugh along with Alice.
"Her fake tits, probably." Alice jokes. Rosalie hates whenever we claim she's had plastic surgery. Apparently it's all 'natural'. Yeah, right.
For the rest of the night, Alice and I talk mostly about school starting in a few days, and senior year.
I really hope everything is ok with her family.
