Take Me Away
A/N-
Hey everyone! This is my second story and it's called Take Me Away. Please check out my profile because I have a link to my live journal, which is where I plan on updating you all about my story.
Heres the Summary:
Edward Cullen's mother and Bella Swan's father are getting married; that means that Edward (and his older brother) and Bella (and her younger sister) have to live together! The problem is that Bella is a rebel while Edward is a momma's boy. Both of them hate each other; but can they get over their differences? Maybe even find love?
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight; or Bella, or Edward, or Jasper, or Alice, or…. Yada yada yada! I do however own the plot, Leighton Cullen, and Brooke Milman!

Wow. I could not believe the words that had just come out of my mother - Leighton's - mouth. "Hunny are you okay?" she asked sounding concerned. It was unbelievable that she was actually asking me if I was ok! My mother had just told me that she was planning on marrying Charlie Swan, Bella Swan's father! I did not even know that my mother and Charlie Swan had been seeing each other; apparently they had wanted to keep their relationship a secret as to not freak either Charlie's kids or me out. Now I was only more freaked out than I believed possible. I mean the news that my mother had found someone she loved enough to marry was amazing, but the fact that I would no doubt have to live with Bella Swan was terrible!
Bella Swan was a total and complete bitch. She and her sister Alice had moved to Forks, Washington to live with her dad - Charlie - six years ago, when Bella was eleven years old and Alice was ten. Her mother abandoned them or something along those lines; Bella and Alice had never told anyone about their situation other than Bella's best friend Jasper, I assumed. Bella had seemed like a sweet girl when she first came to Forks Elementary - she was eleven after all! - but first impressions are never the best impressions. Within a month the entire school found that both her and Jasper had began smoking, and in the past six years only god knows what sorts of things they have done. Being the rebels of the school had been Bella and Jasper's stereotype, and the two of them basked in the fake glory of it. I chose to avoid them at all costs; I had to good of a reputation to have it ruined by them. I suppose that I was a bit of a golden boy, I was the co-captain of the football team, volunteered regularly, and was an A+ student.
On the other hand, it seemed to me as if Bella and Alice were complete opposites. Alice was a sweet and very short girl who looked like a pixie, and acted how I imagined one would act. She was always very cheerful and loved shopping, not to mention she was on the cheerleading squad as well. Bella and Alice still seemed to be good friends despite their differences, although I doubt that the two of them would have been friends if they were not sisters.
After silently processing my thoughts on how that bitch was going to be my step sister I decided to answer my mother.
"I'm okay." I lied. "I'm just really happy for you is all." My mother stared deep into my eyes a few moments before sighing.
"Edward, are you sure your okay with this?" she asked once more. I nodded and forced out a reassuring grin.
"Just, when will the two of you be getting married?"
"In about three months." she paused. "But we will be moving into their house in a week." she added quickly. I almost let that brief piece of information pass before I actually processed what she had told me. My jaw dropped and I gaped.
"One week!" I shouted incredulously. My mother shriveled back slightly at my loudness, I immediately felt bad. "Sorry, for the shouting... but one week?" I asked once more. My mother nodded silently. "Have you told Emmett yet?" Emmett was my older brother by one year, he was a total meathead. Emmett was extremely tall and muscular which made him a ladies man, but he wasn't exactly the smartest person -I was the one in the family blessed with brains- Emmett was the captain of the football team though, so he liked to brag a lot to me about how he could easily beat me.
"Yes; he seemed to take it much better than you did." My mother answered. I sighed, deciding to tell her the truth.
"Mom, I'm extremely happy that you've found someone you love. I'm just a bit freaked out that I'm going to be living with Bella Swan!" I honestly told her. She laughed lightly when I made a sour face.
"Don't worry we'll find a way to get over it, maybe Bella's a lot nicer than you think." she said smiling. I rolled my eyes; there was no way in hell that Bella was a decent person. "Now how about we watch that movie I rented and we can pop some popcorn?" I nodded and hopped up from my place at the kitchen table to grab the DVD 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' from its case before I ran over to the television and popped it into the DVD player. When my mother had finished popping the popcorn we both lied down on the couch with our own separate bowls of popcorn. It was only my mother and me hanging out, because Emmett was out with one of his ladies like usual.
I sighed as the opening credits began. I was going to miss this house after moving in with the bitch and her family.

I woke up in the worst possible way; to the sound of my sister Alice's voice. "Wake up! Wake Up!" Alice chanted as she jumped on my bed. I looked over to my alarm clock that read 6:30am and groaned pulling the bed covers over my head.
"Five more minutes!" I pleaded angrily. The covers were pried from my fingers and pulled off the bed.
"No! It's the first day of school, and we are not going to be late!" Alice squeaked, causing me to cover my ears with my hands; her high pitched voice always managed to give me a major headache.
"Ugh fine!" I unhappily gave in getting out of my bed. It was stupid that Alice had woken me up at this time since school wouldn't be starting until 8:30am, but I didn't dare argue with my pixie sister.
"Yay!" Alice cheered as she hopped off of my bed and danced around my room. "Aren't you excited to have brothers?" Alice asked after dancing a lap around my room.
I groaned. "Ya, because having Edward fucking Cullen, the goody two shoes of our school, as a brother will be so much fun. Not to mention how much more fun it will be to have Emmett Cullen, the schools womanizer, as a brother! I'm so excited that I'm peeing my pants!" I sarcastically told Alice. She rolled her eyes at me before doing a cartwheel onto my bed than jumping up and down on top of it. I wanted to laugh at my crazy sister but chose not to.
"Your not even the tiniest, smallest, itsiest, bitsiest, little bit excited?" Alice asked almost hopefully.
"Nope. You know that I'm dreading it!" Alice sighed in defeat.
"Fine." She huffed as she hopped off my bed onto the floor. "I'm gonna go downstairs to eat some breakfast while you get dressed. Can Jasper give me a ride to school today?"
"Umm. We never talked about it, but I'll ask him. I'm sure he won't mind." I told her as I walked over to my dresser and grabbed my cell phone.
"Thanks Bella." Alice's voice chimed as she skipped out of my room and shut the door behind her. I speed dialed my number one contact and waited to hear the ringing tone. The phone rang three times before someone on the other end picked up. "Hey Bella." Jasper's groggy morning voice greeted me.
"Hey Jasper." I greeted him back happily.
"Why are you phoning me so early in the morning?" he asked sleepily.
I laughed into the phone. "Well I was woken up early by the devil herself-"
Jasper interrupted me. "Let me guess! Your little pixie sister Alice?"
"Ya. Which reminds me, when you come over to drive me to school can you give Alice a ride to school as well?" I could almost hear him nodding into the phone.
"Sure. Why doesn't she just get a ride with one of her peppy cheerleading friends?" he asked as if that was the obvious thing to do.
"I don't know. She just asked me if she could so now I'm asking you. There's no crazy story behind it, other than the fact that previous to it she used my room as a jungle gym."
"But she does that on a regular basis." he stated making me laugh at the truthfulness of it.
"Exactly. I'm considering installing a lock for my door." I honestly told him.
He chuckled. "You should. Look, Bella I'm going to go shower then put on some clothes. I should be at your house in about a half hour, okay?"
"Okay. Bye Jasper." I said sweetly.
"Bye Bella." Jasper said before I heard a beep and knew he had hung up. I set my cell phone down on my dresser before opening one of the drawers and grabbing out a 'Sex Pistols' band T-shirt and a pair of dark skinny jeans. Quickly, I put the clothes on then headed to the bathroom that was conveniently placed in my room. My appearance had never really mattered to me like it did the average girl; so I just did the necessity things each morning. Like usual I performed my normal morning ritual. Which consisted of washing my face, applying foundation, brushing my teeth, applying deodorant, and running a hairbrush through my curly brown hair.
After everything in my morning ritual was completed I hurried downstairs into the kitchen. Alice was waiting for me at the dining table; I grabbed a pop tart out of a cupboard then joined her at the table. Plastered across her face was a look of disgustion; I guessed it was because of what I was wearing. Alice tried multiple times in the past to change my wardrobe but failed each time.
"Jasper can give you a ride to school." I started off the conversation.
"Really..." Alice mumbled as she tilted her head; confusion spread across her face.
I huffed. "Alice, snap out of it!" I snapped my fingers. "I get it already, you hate my clothing!" My voice sounded annoyed, which for some reason made Alice giggle. "What are you laughing at?"
"Oh nothing." She paused. "I do hate your clothing though..." she trailed off.
"I know, and I don't plan on changing my style anytime soon!" I said taking a bite of my pop tart.
By the time Jasper arrived it was 7:10am; which meant we still had an hour and twenty minutes till school started. Alice skipped to Jasper's car and hopped into the backseat while I walked dully and merely slid into the passenger seat. There was almost an awkward tension in the car when no one spoke. Jasper started up his car and began to pull away from the curb as Alice was bobbing in her seat distracted by the scenery, and I sat still in my own seat.
"So umm... Why aren't you getting a ride with your friends today?" Jasper asked out loud. I didn't answer because the question was obviously directed to Alice.
"I'm not sure. Mainly to support Bella in case if our new brothers come and speak to us. I'm truthfully sort of afraid she'll make a bad impression..." I turned around and glared at Alice. "No offense Bella!" Alice quickly added.
"What makes you think I'll make a bad impression?" I childishly complained.
Alice laughed lightly. "Because your you! Just don't be angry if I supervise you; I really want to be friends with our brothers!" I rolled my eyes and turned back around in my seat; I could really care less what Edward and Emmett Cullen thought of us. I peaked over to Jasper and noticed his eyebrow was furrowed in confusion.
"What do you two mean brothers?" Jasper asked curiously.
I groaned. "Ugh. I just found out last night so sorry if I didn't tell you. It just so happens that my father is in-love with Leighton Cullen and is going to marry her, in around three months..." I trailed off as Jasper's expression became so incredibly shocked that it was priceless.
"You mean Leighton Cullen, as in Edward and Emmett Cullen's mother?" Jasper's jaw dropped open.
I nodded. "Plus not to mention that the two of them and their mother are moving in to our house next week!" I seethed. Jasper looked at me apologetically.
"I'm sorry to hear about that. I suppose from now on we will hang out at my house." Jasper almost sounded excited. It was probably because he hated having to come over to my house since my father basically hated him.
"Well not always, I'm sure that Edward and Emmett won't be home 24/7. They've got sports and shit like that." I exclaimed. Jasper nodded in response and mumbled a yeah.
"Bella why are you being such a bitch about this?" Alice bravely asked. "I'm excited to have brothers, why aren't you?" I glared at Alice but decided not to make a huge fuss. Jasper and Alice were the only people who were allowed to call me a bitch; they normally joked whenever they said it anyway.
"I'm not excited because the people who are going to be our brothers are Edward-and-Emmett-mother-effing-Cullen!" I said dragging out the last six words.
"But they will probably be fun! The two of them can be my new shopping companions!" Alice's voice chimed happily.
"Ya, because I'm sure the two of them would willingly go shopping with you!"
Alice's expression turned evil. "If they don't go willingly I'll just have to force them."
Jasper cut into the conversation. "She's got a point Bella." Jasper said, turning to look at me briefly. "We all know that it's impossible to win a fight against Alice, you should probably give up right now and let Alice enjoy having the Cullen's as brothers."
I scoffed. "I am not giving up. For the first time in my life I am going to win a fight against Alice." I firmly stated, causing Jasper to roll his eyes at me.
Alice and me were still arguing about the pros and cons of the Cullen boys when we arrived at school. Jasper parked as close to the school as he could and cut the engine before the three of us jumped out of our seats. I pulled a pack of smokes out of my pocket; grabbing two cigarettes out: one for me and the other for Jasper. I passed one of the smokes to Jasper after he took his black lighter out of his pocket. First Jasper lit mine then his; I greedily took a puff but noticed that Alice was watching both Jasper and I disappointedly.
"What are you still doing here?" I asked harshly.
Alice sighed sounding annoyed. "Supervision, remember?" I rolled my eyes at Alice.
"Not like any of the Cullen" I sneered the name "children are going to try to talk to us today" I stated flatly.
"Guess again." Alice said gesturing towards Edward and Emmett; who both happened to be walking towards our small group. It seemed as if an army of people was following behind them; I wasn't intimidated though. Intimidating me was practically impossible. Alice waved to some of her friends that were following behind the Cullen boys; apparently Alice and the Cullen's shared friends.
"So…" Edward Cullen started when him and his band of friends reached us.
"So…" I mocked him, blowing smoke into his face simultaneously. Edward fanned his hand in front of his face to get rid of the smoke. He glared at me angrily.
"Last night my mother told me that she was going to be marrying your father." Edward informed me, clenching and unclenching his fists.
"What!" Brooke Milman spat. "That's why you wanted to talk to these freaks – nothing against you Ali, I love you – but it's because Bella Swan is going to be your step sister! Wow…" Brooke began to giggle.
"Shut up whore, no one was talking to you" I spat back, she looked incredibly shocked but didn't say another word. "Anyway, before the whore interrupted I was about to say that my dad talked to Alice and me about that last night."
"So you know? He asked.
"No shit Sherlock. That's what I just told you!"
"Bella!" Alice screeched angrily at me, I chose to ignore her and continue my conversation with Edward.
"You didn't have to be such a bitch about it." Edward said, sounding offended.
"And you didn't have to be such a pansy about it, but you did." I snapped back at him, raising one eyebrow.
Edward began to fume. "Look, I came over here to try and be nice but you just screwed it up."
I laughed. "Because I really care if you're nice to me."
"You should. Until we turn eighteen we are going to have to live together." Edward announced angrily.
I smirked. "That doesn't mean I can't have fun making your life hell."
"Ugh. Theres no reasoning with you is there?" He asked furiously.
"Nope." I said, popping the p. Edward groaned and turned around to walk away; with his group of wannabe friends following behind him. I looked over to Jasper who had his hand extended for a high five; I high fived him and smiled.
"Good job Bella. I'm proud of you!" Jasper happily exclaimed as he threw his arm around my shoulders.
"I'm not!" Alice shouted grabbing our attention. "Your such an idiot Bella! You might as well just ruin any hope of having a happy family!"
"That ended when mom left us!" I barked at Alice. She huffed and glared at me before stomping away to join a crowd of her friends.
