A/N: Hello guys, i know some of you have read my One-shot story. Good Memories, but I was uncertain to post it because A) I didn't have an account and B) because I didn't feel like people will like it, Anyway this is the first chapter of my story 'Good Memories' Consider the One-shot like the Prologue or something like that because the beginning here won't be like my one-shot, but it will still have the same plot.
-1919-
"Isabella are you sure that you have everything with you?" I hear the voice of my dear mother said to me, but I can't dare to look at her. We are currently waiting for our carriage, because we are moving with her husband to a small town named Biloxi Mississippi.
The reason why I can't look at her it's because she's taking away one of the things that I've loved all my life. My house. I know it sounds stupid, but it's the only thing that reminds me of my father. He unfortunately died of a heart attack five years ago and I was completely devastated by it.
"Yes mother" I said glancing down at my luggage. I sigh knowing that I didn't have a lot of clothes. Right now I'm wearing a calf-length dress that highlights my small waist. Typically, these dresses had belts made of matching fabric, but I don't like to wear them. My dress have flowers, leaves and fruits.
I don't like to wear dresses, but my mother completely disagrees with me saying that I'm a brat for not liking them.
"Isabella, remember that Philip was kind enough to invite us to live in his house, So I hope you can be nice with him" Reenee said showing no emotion on her face, but in her eyes I saw, love, preoccupation and desesperation.
"Will do mother" I turned my head when I hear the sound of horses galloping. I gasp. In the distance there is a big white carriage with black horses in the front of it running with grace. A tall man with a beard is riding them. He saw us and smile softly at us before making the horses stop in front of us.
Even if people already had the Carriage or 'Car' like some people like to call them. There were still people that still like to use carriages as their way of transportation.
"Hello Ma'ams. My name is Joseph. Pleasure to meet you." He said taking off his hat and bowing in front of us in sign of respect.
"Hello Gentleman" My mom said. She took the hem of her dress almost like mine, but in different color. She bows before smiling at the man who was know holding the door of the carriage, waiting for us to enter. I mimicked the action of my mother before picking up my bags and handing them to the man who smiled softly at me.
Halfway through the ride to Biloxi my mom start telling me that I should start looking for a man who I can spend the rest of my life with because I was already 17 and that I had a short time before my beauty disappears, but I only shook my head answering that I still have plenty of life and that I want to travel before settling down with someone.
We arrived at the house of Philip. It was a mansion, not like the house my mom and I had because this one was twenty times bigger and it has a look of knowledge in it? I don't know.
"Isabella dear, stop staring and let's enter the house" My mother said to me.
I look at my surroundings just to see another mansion right next to ours, but less bigger and looking older. I saw in the distance a girl sitting and reading a book, maybe I can talk to her later? She looks to be around my age.
"Yes mother" I sigh before following her and Joseph who was carrying our bags.
I glance up at the sky and ask myself. Will I be able to have friends here? People back in forks though I was a freak because I talk with 'Animals' but it's true I really talk to them is just that nobody believes me. I sigh and before stopping behind my Mother who is now knocking softly at the large wooden door.
After a a minute a tall man with a handsome face and white pearly teeth open the door.
"Renee how lovely to see you again" Philip pulls my mother into a gentle hug, before planting a kiss on her lips.
"Nice to see you too, Isabella" He smiles softly at me. I know that Philip is a nice guy, but I still feel like if my mother is betraying my Father.
"The pleasure is mine" I bowed.
"Well come in, oh and Isabella your room is upstairs the first door of your right" I nod before following Joseph who is carrying my bags to my room. He opened to door of my room and I gasped. In front of me was a king sized bed and a big window that gives me the view of the lake in front of the mansion. The color of the room is a light pink making it look like if a princess lives here.
"If you need anything just call me" He said
"Thank you joseph" I bowed. He nod before closing the door and leaving.
I sigh before I start to unpack my things and putting them in the old looking wardrobe.
After thirty minutes of unpacking I walked to the window and start looking at the lake, but I didn't only saw the lake, but I saw the girl from before too. I frown and decided to meet her. After all we are neighbors
I walked down the stairs before getting out of the house and walking to the lake. The grass is so green here making it look like if mother nature love this place. I glance up to see the same girl that I saw when I arrive. Her ebony black hair falling down her shoulders, being held together with a small lilac colored silk ribbon that exactly matched the dress that she's wearing, well for what I can see. She's not facing me so I can only see her back. I walk closer and cleared my throat making her jump.
"Sorry if I scared you" I say and then she turns around and I gasp. She looks so beautiful, she has blue ocean eyes, a small nose, full lips. She looks perfect, like an angel that fall from heaven.
"It's okay, I was just lost in thought" Her voice sounds like music to my ears the most pleasant one I have ever heard and I listen to a lot of music so you most imagine.
"I'm Isabella" She reaches her hand for mine and I took it and kissed the top of her hand. I paralyzed because A) I felt tingles when I touch her soft hand and B) I kissed her knuckles, men are supposed to do that not women. I let go of her hand and I thought I saw her frown, but I shook my head and smiled at her.
"Mary Alice" She smiled at me showing me a cute dimple on the left side of her cheek. Apparently she didn't notice that I kissed her knuckles or did she? Also did she felt those tingles too?
"Do you mind if I join you?" I said gesturing to the spot next to her. She nod and I sat down sitting in a Indian style.
"So, why did you move here?" Mary Alice asked after a few minutes of awkward silence.
"My Mother wanted to live with her husband,so that's why I'm here" I couldn't say the part of My Father because is way too painful.
"Well in that case we would be great friends since we are neighbors" She smiles at me and I swear my heart started beating faster. Her blue eyes are looking so hard at my brown ones, like if she's searching for something, but she can't find it.
"Of course. So Mary Alice, how many years have you lived here?"
"Eighteen years, but I don't know how many years I'm going to live here because Mother want me to marry someone before my twenty birthday" I feel a pang of jealousy when I think of her being married with another person. Wow what's that Isabella? You just met her fifteen minutes ago!
"Same here, but I'm seventeen so I guess I still have time, but I want to travel around the world before I settle down" I sigh and look down at my hands and start playing with them. We have now our legs stretched and our ankles touching making me feel tingles in my feet while we look at the beautiful landscape in front of us.
"I wish I could do that, but Father wants me to marry a Man that is really powerful here, his name is Arthur, but I don't like him" She pouts making me feel sad for her. I pat her hand that is lying right next to me and make her look at me.
"Maybe when you get married you can ask him to travel the world with you" I said to her and when I want to move my hand I noticed that I can't. I look down to see that she intertwined our fingers. I blush but I leave my hand there.
"Maybe. I don't know, but let's talk about other things, what is your favorite color?" She asks looking at me with and I swear I can see her blue eyes shining and it's making me want to drown in them.
"Well, I think is blue" I blush because in reality my favorite color was green and I mean was because now my favorite color is Blue just like Mary Alice eyes.
"Mine is yellow just like the color of the flowers here" She says gesturing the meadow we are right now with her free hand because the other one is tracing lazy circles with her thumb at the back of my hand making me feel those tingles again.
After a few minutes I saw her tensed and look down at her lap. She looked nervous and I didn't know why. Maybe it's me because I'm making her nervous?
"I'm sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable" I said looking at anything but her.
"No, it just that I'm wondering if you want to be my friend?" She asked sounding so nervous and shy.
"Of course Mary Alice, why wouldn't I want to be my friend?" I asked curious while I start playing with her Small and elgant fingers.
"If you only knew" I hear her mutter, but I think it was more to herself
"What?" I asked confused.
"Nothing. Anyway do you have brothers?" She asked trying to change the subject .
"No and you?"
"Yes, my sister Cynthia, but right now she's in her piano lessons" She said, before looking at me and I can feel my heart already starting to beat faster. What does she have this effect on me? I just met her!
"You play piano?" I asked
"No, but I know how to paint" She said shrugging.
We kept talking and for some reason I found her Really attractive. Attractive, Isabella you know that is a Sin, but I couldn't help it. We talked about everything and nothing at the same time, like what are our hobbies, what movies do we like, favorite actors and other stuff.
"Mary Alice, get in here now!" I heard a deep voice shout from the inside of Mary Alice house
"I'll be there in a minute Father" Mary Alice answered, but she sounded lifeless and I didn't like that.
"I'm sorry Isabella, but I need to go. I wish we can see each other tomorrow" With that she stand up and help me to get up.
"Of course I will wait for you" She smiled. She came closer to me and pulled me into a hug which I gladly returned. I buried my face in the crook of her neck inhaling the sweet scent of hers, She smells divine. Her scent is something between Chocolate and vanilla.
"Okay" She pulled away and kissed my cheek sending a shiver down my spine. She smiled at me before running to her house.
When I didn't see her anymore I caressed my cheek where just second ago her lips touched my skin.
Maybe Biloxi won't be bad after all.
