What If I Was the Human?

Chapter 1

It was quite difficult seeing how my aunt kept starring into my eyes as she handed me my luggage in front of the airport. Such a melancholy glance, the bad news had kept this overbearing stare going for days. Of course, today would be different. She knew it was time, for a long time; she knew this day would come. My younger sister, Alice and I had finally been contacted by our father. Our mother had passed away one year ago; our father Carlisle had no intention in contacting us during that tragic occurrence. My aunt took us in, and since then cared for us just like a mother would. I never had the intention of leaving her or the thought to actually believe Carlisle would someday come around. If it wasn't for Alice, I wouldn't for one second consider moving in with Carlisle. Phoenix was the greatest reminder of our mother for Alice, I know this isn't easy for either of us, but I need her to grow and be able to overcome this.

Forks would be better for her; she'll be able to forget about the tragedy. She's all I truly care for.

"You'll both be better there; don't forget to call as soon as your plane lands."

"Definitely, no worries," Alice said to our aunt and gave her such a convincing smile.

Goodbyes were said, and Alice and I were on our way. The departure time arrived and we boarded our plane.

"Edward, you think dad's family will accept us?"

Yes, Carlisle has a family. His wife Esme, has two children; Rosalie and Jasper. Carlisle decided it was such a greater priority to raise two step-children than his own.

"Of course, why shouldn't they? You fascinate everyone Alice," I responded as I looked out the window.

"You're right. Hey maybe I should let my hair grow out now, the weather won't be as terrible as it was in Phoenix," she said as she ran her fingers through her short, spiky, black hair.

"You are definitely quick at changing the subject to something regarding your looks, and your hair is perfectly fine the way it is."

Alice gave me a simple smile and closed her eyes.

The plane arrived at Forks in the morning; Carlisle was going to be waiting for us. Alice was more than excited to meet the family, If Alice was happy about them then I knew I should be too. She did always have a hunch about everything. I followed behind her, she didn't seem nervous at all, I, on the other hand was the complete opposite.

"Dad!" Alice shouted as she ran up to Carlisle and hugged him.

He is so shameless and I completely despise him.
I looked at them and saw how perfect of a "family" they all were. Esme looked young and very kind, and Rosalie was nothing short of spectacular.

"Hello, Edward I am Esme, and this is Rosalie and Jasper," She gave me a graceful and the most welcoming hug.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all." I felt the need to be rude, but her smile actually made me feel the need to feel content to be there.

"Rosalie, I love your outfit, I definitely need to go shopping before starting school," Alice has always made everyone feel like they've known her for years. She always fits in anywhere and with any person.

"Rosalie and Jasper offered to take you both to buy some clothes for school, they really want to get to know both of you," Carlisle said to me while taking Alice's luggage off her hands.

Carlisle is simply speaking, as if there has never been a distance between us. How my mother must feel at this moment, although she never once said a terrible thing about him, I knew she hated him. I was the only one who could see through her delicate smile, I knew her pain all throughout my childhood.

"I don't really need anything, but thank you for the offer." Anything that came from Carlisle wasn't a necessity to me at all. I did not need anything from him, I never did and I never will. Everyone could feel how the false cheerful tone changed, because it became awkwardly silent.

"We should get going, wouldn't want the rain to be stronger while we are on the road," Jasper saved the moment, and made it into a falsely blissful moment once again.

"Yes, of course, Alice, Rosalie and I decorated your room wonderfully, I know you'll love it," Esme said with a brilliant smile. Alice looked towards me; I could tell she knew exactly how I was feeling. We all walked out of the airport and headed towards the parking lot. Forks seems completely depressing, the skies are gray and dreary.

We finally reached the house; it's the largest house I've actually seen in person. The massive house was surrounded by nothing, but trees. All this time, he was here with his "family" giving them everything they could ask for, and never bothered to give me a simple phone call; that was everything I ever asked for.

Esme and Rosalie took Alice inside to show her around, I know Alice will do well here.

"Need help?" Carlisle asked as he picked up Alice's bags.

"Thanks," I replied.

"Their great Edward, I know you and Alice will get along with them perfectly," he simply said with a grin.

I stayed silent. What did he expect me to say? He can't just remove the past. What he did to MY family, I'll never fail to remember that. I walked into the house; it looked marvelous. The first living-room has nothing, but a white couch and a piano. The walls were covered with the most exquisite art pieces. I could hear Alice laughing upstairs, "Edward! Come up here you need to see this."

I walked through the hall and up the stairs. Alice came running up to me and pulled me into a room.
"I knew you'd love this Edward," she said while jumping onto the bed.
I looked through the huge wall; it was filled with thousands of music albums.

"It was Esme's idea, I had mentioned your favorite's to her," Carlisle put his hand on my shoulder. I wonder how he knew about my favorites; I never once said a word to him about any of my interests. I hope he doesn't take this as a way to make up for things. I moved away from his arm and sat next to Alice.

"Thank you," I simply said to him. I could feel Alice's eyes on me.

"Right, I'll let both of you get accommodated, I need to head to the office today. I'll see you both at dinner," Carlisle was a doctor at the local hospital; my mother would tell me that he was such a kind person for what he does. Carlisle Cullen, a kind person? I don't believe that at all, he walked out of the room and Alice turned to me.

"I wish you would give him a chance Edward, you know he really is trying," Alice put her head on my shoulder and looked down.

"Alice, this isn't easy for me please understand that, I don't care if he's really trying. It's too late now; he had many opportunities to do that before." I hated making Alice feel bad and I knew I had done just that. She closed her eyes and put her head against the pillow. She knew I was right, and sometimes I really do wish I wasn't.
