Rain Kissed
Chapter One:
BPOV:
Three years. Today was the mark of the day I lost everything. My family, my house, my life. My memory. Three years ago I had woken up in a hospital with nothing in my brain but my name and simple thing like how to walk, talk, and eat. I was a newborn in the body of a fourteen year old. Weak and fragile.
No one knows for sure what happened that day, and since I couldn't remember I was no help. All they got was someone had tried to set a fire to my home. And who ever it was had also hit me on the head with a metal rod. Thus the memory losing. I had hated myself and my problem at first.
Everyone treated me like I would fall over or do something weird. Like I would wake up one morning and say "Hey, you know what? I remembered something!" They had asked me each day for the past 2 and a half years if I could recall anything. And I had always said no.
This could or could not have been a lie, depending on how you saw it. Oh, no I didn't suddenly get all of my memories back. Nope, not at all. But…well, I had been getting dreams of me and a…man. That was holding a pole in his hand. I didn't tell my doctors about this because it was probably just my mind over thinking. And than my doctors would freak out and make me do all these exams and check up's.
Well, anyway about two months ago all of my doctors had gotten together and decide that I should go out into the world again. Something that I had been trying to convince them on for a long time. They had given in and said 'That it would be good for your health.' Unfortunately, they had given me two conditions that had to be met.
1. I would live with a family of their choice and not by myself.
2. Someone in that family had to be a doctor in case something went wrong.
Now, truly I didn't mind living with some other family, because hell, I couldn't even remember my own parent's faces when I woke up that day. So I didn't really mind at all. But the doctor thing pissed me off. What did they think? I would freak out in the middle of the day! Geez, I had almost yelled 'some trust please' at them.
And then they told me that the doctor that had volunteered to take care of me lived in California. And I lived in New York. Ugh. This sucked.
Which was why I was sitting in an airport with a nurse sitting next to me. The nurse was another requirement. They said that until I was not with the Cullen's I wasn't allowed to be alone. Right.
So here I was, searching for my boarding pass because my flight was now boarding.
"Here you go, Liz, it's your boarding pass. I took it just to make sure that you didn't lose it." The nurse lady said to me while holding up my ticket. Oh. My. God. Did she just call me Liz?!? That wasn't even close to Bella.
"Bella, and just so you know I am not that amnesic. I just lost my memory. God" I huffed part her and walked away.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My nurse was sitting beside me, sleeping. I was bored out of my mind. And scared as hell. I mean this was my first time on an airplane. Well, the first time after I forgot.
Apparently my parents were loaded. That's what the suspected reason for the fire and attack was. The fire-starter wanted some quick money so he tried to rob my house, then when I found him he hit my head, lit the fire, and ran the hell away. Without the money. What an idiot.
Well anyway I really wanted to sleep but I was worried that the plane might crash. After all I was in it. And I meant bad luck. I couldn't walk 10 steps without falling or tripping. And then there was the blush. It was so easy to get me to blush. One word and there it went.
I guessed that I looked like your average plain Jane. Brown hair and brown eyes. An average body. 5' 4''. Nothing good to look or lust over. It was even a miracle that I had escaped that stupid life ending fire with only a few burn marks on my torso.
I looked over at the time and sighed. I still had 3 hours to kill. I let my mind wander to the Cullen family. From what I had overheard they were very rich and lived in some next huge mansion near a beach. And they had three other adopted kids like me. All in high school. So I was the fourth one. Geez…man did that doctor have too much money and time on him.
I lay my head back and hoped that they were all nice.

Before I knew it I was being shaken.
"Listen up. Bella, the plane landed. Get up, we have to go to baggage claim." That stupid nurse was waking me up. I sighed and got up to follow her out.
We grabbed my bags and I was just about to turn around and walk out when the nurse turned in the other direction and started to talk to a blond kid. Well, not really kid. He was probably a few years older than me but still he had way too much baby fat.
"Hi, I'm Mike. I was your pilot." He said like it was important or something. I smiled at him and turned to Jessica (I think that was her name).
"Um…nurse we really need to go out. I don't think that the Cullen's like to wait in the rain." Because god was it raining! In California. Like no tomorrow. See? I told you I had bad luck.
The nurse turned and gave me an annoyed look. Hmmm…I wonder….
"You know what Jessica? I'll take it on my own from here. You and um, Mike here, you two can hang out. Later?" I rushed to get the words out before she could change her mind, grabbed my trolley and walked to the exit.
Shit! I should have got a jacket. It was pouring buckets out here. My clothing was instantly wet and I was so glad that my bags were water-proof. I looked around for some one from the Cullen family or at least a taxi.
I felt someone tap my shoulder and I turned around to see a huge man standing before me. If it wasn't for his huge dimples and sweet aura I would have been terrified of him and his big bulging muscles. I smiled at him. He was very beautiful like a statue despite the muscles.
"Are you Bella?" he boomed out. "I'm Emmett, and Carlisle sent me to get you. Alice will be happy. You're perfect for her."
I was confused by his words. Perfect? For what? Involuntarily I started to shiver from the cold. Shit, but this rain was so cold.
"Oh, you're cold. It doesn't usually rain much here, but when it does…well you can see. We've been waiting for this storm to hit for a few days now." He said this all as he removed his own coat and draped it over my shoulders. I felt so safe with Emmett, and I had known him, for what? 3 minutes?
Then I registered that I had just took his coat and now he was coatless and just as wet as me. I laughed suddenly, which seemed to startle him. I shook my head and smiled.
I handed him his coat back and said "You're wet now too. Come on…let's get all of this into your car." I pointed to my bags. I was about to take the trolley when Emmett pushed my hand gently away and took the trolley from me. He pointed to a big monster truck and said "My car."
I thought that it fit him. Huge body, huge car. I smiled to myself again. By now I was by the car. He popped open the truck and I grabbed the first bag and was about to hoist it off the trolley when I felt Emmett take it from me. I looked at him curiously.
"Emmett? I can pick up my own bags just fine. You don't have to do all of this." I said to him truthfully. I didn't like having other people do things for me.
He laughed at me and continued to pick up my bags and throw them into the trunk.
"Bella, Bella, Bella! If Esme found out that I let you carry your own bags I would be skinned alive. And why would such a pretty young lady like yourself want to carry bags around? Huh?"
WHOA!! Did he just say that I was pretty? And who in Lord's name was Esme?
"I don't like to make other people worry about me. And I am not pretty." I mumbled the last part into my now wet dress. Yup, dress. My doctors had wanted me to make a good 'first impression' so I was stuck wearing a dress. In the freaking rain!
Apparently he heard me and laughed some.
"You really need to look in a mirror. Oh! And don't ever say that you're not pretty in front of Alice." He shuddered. I just shrugged because I didn't know any of them.
He walked me to the passenger side of the car and opened the door for me. I looked up at it, wondering how I was going to get in. I was just about to jump and try to get in when I heard Emmett chuckle. Then he grabbed me and dropped me into the seat. He closed the door and walked to the other side. I was about to apologize for getting his car seat wet, when he spoke up.
"Listen…I know that I have no right to ask you this, but I heard that you lost your memory. If you don't want to talk about it that's fine. But I was just wondering what happened? My parents wouldn't tell me. But I really want you to feel at home here. And I just thought that this would help." He was starting to blab so I cut in.
"It's fine Emmett. What you heard is right, I did lose my memory. I don't remember anything except the last 3 years. Its ok thought. I don't mind really…though…I guess that it would be nice to remember things instead of looking at pictures and stuff like that."
I was shocked that he even cared. The only person other person that I had met so far was another boy on my ward. Jacob. And he had gone away after 4 months. I was brought out of my reviver when I realized that Emmett was talking.
"Bella I forgot that you only know about Carlisle. I'll give you a brief over view sort of thing before we get there. How's that sound?"
"Thanks Emmett. I was wondering who Alice and Esme are. Is your whole family made of women? Because so far you and Carlisle are the only males in your family that I know. You're not a female too, are you Emmett!?!" I smiled to show him that I was just joking around.
He laughed his big booming laugh and said "Close. But no. My family is not all female. There's Carlisle, me, and Edward. Then the girls are Esme and Alice. Now you. They are my family but we have 2 more people living with us right now. Rosalie and Jasper. They come over so often that Esme just gave them their own rooms! Me and my siblings are adopted. Carlisle and Esme are my parents. Me and Rose are going out. Jazz and Alice are too. The often leaves Edward alone but he doesn't really care. But now that you're here…well….he wont be single for long." He gave of that huge lecture on his family and I tried to absorb everything, and then realized what he said. A blush leapt into my cheeks but I ignored it and turned to stare at him.
I opened my mouth to object. I mean I was so plain…why would anyone want their brother, if not in the biological sense, to be with me?
Emmett looked over at me all amused like and said, "Save the lecture, denial or whatever! We're here." I looked away from him and –
Oh. My. Hell. Before me stood a huge house. No, mansion! Oh. My. Hell. It was so grand. 4 floors high and very wide. God. And this was going to be my home for who knows how long.
I looked over at Emmett my eyes still wide. He continued to drive up the long drive way.
"Yeah…this place kinda has this kind of impression on people. Esme modernized it. Too bad you came on a rainy day, other wise you would have seen the ocean over there. And there is a forest to the right. " He nodded at the left when he mentioned the ocean.
Wow, they lived so close to the ocean. And forest. I thought that they had lived at least 10 minutes away. I could get used to this. The whole house was a whitey cream and I wondered that if I was shocked by the outside, what must the inside look like?
Emmett got out of the car and opened up my door again. He took my hand and let me jump into the ground. I smiled at him to show the gratitude I felt. Then a thought struck me.
"Emmett, I don't care what happens I am going to help you with the bags, ok? You can't stop me this time!" I giggled as I ran to the back of the car and grabbed my first bag.
"Bella! Stop! You know that Esme will kill me! Plus, I am stronger than you!" I heard Emmett yell at me, and then start to run after me. I knew he would catch up soon, but I wasn't going to go down with out a fight. I ran for the stairs that led up to the house's front doors.
I felt rather than heard Emmett's feet behind me. It was raining too hard to hear anything, anyway. I knew that I was soon to be caught. I ducked as I felt Emmett take a lug at me.
"Ha-ha! MISSED!" I screamed as I dropped the bag and ran back down the stairs. I was going to get another bag, but I was so occupied in not getting caught that I had forgotten about my balance issues. I was 4 feet from the truck when my foot hit a rock and I was falling towards my old friend Mr. Ground. I waited for the impact, but instead felt Emmett's hand go around me.
"I caught Bellarina! I knew you couldn't run far!" I laughed as he twirled me around, causing my hair to slap into my face. Only then did I notice that it was raining even harder and water was running down my face.
Emmett started to tickle me, and I screamed. I was too ticklish!
"Em – gasp – mett! Stop! That – gasp – I give up! STOP!" I scream trying to stop laughing and get oxygen into me. He stopped and put me down.
"Bella! That was fun, but now let me do my work. You go stand over there like a good girl." He pointed to the front gates, and then ruffled my hair. I shook my head, still smiling and went back to the stairs.
Seeing my bag on the marble (MARBLE!!!) front porch, I wondered if I should take it and go in or wait for Emmett to come. I picked up the bag and turned around to see Emmett caring my two other bags. I decided that I would walk in with Emmett.
"Ready to meet your new family, Bella Swan?" He joked with me while opening the grand door way. Taking a deep breath, I walked in.
