Into Your Arms
"There was a new girl in town,
She had it all figured out.
Well I'll state something rash,
She had the most amazing smile.
I bet you didn't expect that
She made me change my ways
With eyes like sunsets, baby
And legs that went on for days"

Chapter One: A New Girl In Town
"Can you guys believe we're going to be seniors tomorrow?" My brother, Jasper, asked as he threw the football to me. We stood on our front lawn with our friends Edward and Jacob, the hot sun scorching our already tanned skin.
"Unreal." I replied as I caught it. "One step closer to getting out of this godforsaken town."
"Dude, I don't know why you hate it so much." Jacob grumbled as I tossed it to him.
"Nothing ever happens around here. We have to go three cities over to even find something to do." I said as I watched the ball sail threw the air. As if on que, a moving fan pulled into the driveway next to ours.
"What do you think?" Jasper asked as he walked over to me.
"Serial killers." Jacob said.
"Cult." Edward giggled.
"Well lets go see." I said as began across the lawn. Out of the moving van emerged a man as tall as me, whose blonde hair literally reflected the sun light.
"Whoa now!" He threw his hands up. "Here's my wallet just don't hurt me!"
I looked over to Jasper, then at my other friends.
"Hmm, I guess that's not funny around these parts." I shook his head and dropped his hands. "I'm Dr. Carlisle Cullen, you must be?" He looked at us with questioning eyes.
"I'm Emmett, this is my brother Jasper, and our friends Edward and Jake. We're your neighbors." I responded and held out my hand.
"Nice to meet you all!" He shook it, then extended his hand to the other three boys. Rosalie, Alice, Bella, come over here for a second, please!"
Seemingly out of nowhere two girls appeared. The first one was short with black hair to match her height. The second a too thin brunette with wavy curls. I sighed internally. Neither of them was my type.
"These are our new neighbors, girls. Boys, these are my daughters Alice, Bella, and... Wait, where's your sister?" Carlisle looked between the two girls standing in front of us.
"Right behind you." A soft voice said from behind Carlisle. We all turned to see a tall, blonde girl emerge from the group of three people that stood in front of us. She was tall, probably only three inches shorter than me, which is an accomplishment, and had blonde wavy hair. She was utterly beautiful. She was exactly my type.
"Rose, these are our new neighbors." Carlisle smiled and introduced us four to her. "Do you boys go to the local high school? My girls will start tomorrow. Rosalie is a senior, Alice and Bella juniors."
"Funny, Emmett and I are seniors, Edward and Jasper here are sophomores," Jake said as he slapped me on the shoulder.
I saw the slightest hint of an eyebrow rise from Rosalie as she looked in between Jake and I. She was digging me... Or Jake... Or both of us. This could be interesting.
"Now would you like some help with those boxes?" Edward asked, winking at Bella, who started blushing like crazy. Wow.
Carlisle smiled and opened the back of the moving van, then handing the house keys to Rosalie. "Sure, come on in!"
