Today My Life Begins

Chapter 1

"Did you see that hot new guy?" my sister practically drooled on the lunch table.

"Rose you better watch it. Someone will tell Royce." Alice sing-songed.

"Pfffttt… Please we're so over! After what he did." She shivered and I covered her hand squeezing it, shooting Alice a dirty look.

"What? I was just teasing." She laughed nervously.

"Alice, just stop!" he boyfriend Edward spoke up and she sighed.

The lunchroom doors opened and in walked this hulk of a guy with his arm around this tiny girl, both new, obviously.

"Oh my God! That's him!" Rose pulled out her mirror and checked her teeth and lipstick.

"Oh, that's Isabella Swan and her brother Emmett." Edward noted. "Emmett, over here." Edward motioned to them and Emmett waved and motioned after they got their food.

"So, that's his sister?" I asked.

"Yeah, his twin. Just like Rose and you. She's really quiet though. Barely whispered her name in class. Mr. Bertie wasn't happy about that." Edward shrugged.

"She's kind of plain and what's with the clothes? Who wears sweats and baggy ones at that?" Alice rambled.

"Shut up Alice!" I snapped again. Her insistent ramblings drove me crazy, I don't know how Edward dealt with her on a daily basis.

They walked up to the table Emmett carrying the overstuffed tray and his sister walking close behind head down, hair flowing in her face. I was dying to see her face.

"Emmett! Hey, let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend Alice, my best friend Jasper and his sister Rose. Guys this is Emmett and Bella Swan." Edward smiled and offered them a seat.

There were two open, one by me and Rose and the other between Rose and Alice.

Rose saw Emmett searching for another table, obviously needing to stay close to his sister, like I felt the need to do.

"We'll scoot over so you can sit together." Rose smiled at Emmett and I knew then they were both goners.

"Thanks Rosie." Emmett smiled and my jaw dropped when she blushed. No one called her anything but Rose.

Emmett sat beside Rose which left

The empty chair next to me. Bella stood there hesitating for a few moments until Emmett pulled the chair flush to him and pulled her down in it, whispering something in her ear. A very displeased look came over his face and he spoke a little harsher telling her she'd better eat or he was telling dad.

She sighed and grabbed a Dr. Pepper and a roll. He shook his head and dug into the rest.

There was small talk at the table between everyone except Bella. She pulled out a book and was reading, blocking everything and everyone else out.

The bell rang and Emmett tugged on the book, letting her know it was time.

I tried as she got up to look at her again, but she hid her face.

They walked off in the same direction I was headed and was happy to see them going into History as well.

Emmett handed their papers to the teacher and he told them to sit anywhere, they headed for the far back corner. I took the seat in front of Bella, hoping to hear or see her. She had me captivated for some unknown reason.

For the next two days Emmett was in school, but his sister wasn't. He sat with us and when asked what was wrong he just said she was sick, but there was something else there.

She showed up on Thursday but was even clingier to her brother. "Bells, you need to relax, that's what the Dr. said." He whispered.

"Leave it Em!" she snapped and dropped her head onto the table.

Rose looked at me and I nodded, we'd talked about it this week and both think she's been through something even worse than Rose.

"Emmett, can we go for a walk?" Rose asked.

"I-I can't leave my sister, I'm sorry." He shook his head and sighed.

"I can walk her to class." I spoke up and his eyes shot to mine, I conveyed that I knew it had to be something bad and he nodded.

"Bella, can Jasper walk you to class?" Emmett asked.

"Just go Em. She's all you've talked about." Bella sniffled.

"Stay with her please!" Emmett looked at me and practically begged.

I nodded my consent as they walked off.

I sat there talking to Edward and Alice the remainder of lunch. The bell rang and Bella got up and walked off, head down not even waiting for me.

"Bella, wait." I caught up to her, mindful not to touch her for fear of scaring her.

She ignored me and kept walking.

"Turn left." I told her and thankfully she listened.

We arrived at class taking our seats from yesterday, only this time I turned to talk to her.

"Bella." He head was down and I could see her breathing rapidly. "Hey, calm down. You're going to hyperventilate." I sighed.

Just then Emmett walked in, obviously sad from Rose's story and then seeing Bella struggling to breathe left him worse off. "Sis, come on. We'll go home." He rubbed her back and that's when I saw her.

She was frightened beyond and just a quick glance at the ugly red scar proved it was worse than anything I could imagine. I wanted to help her, but how.

AN:

So this on just came to me…

I'm hoping you'll enjoy this one it is Bella and Jasper…

There will be drama as Bella relives her past…
