Eve's P.O.V.
Before I knew it, I was in the passenger seat of my cousin's old red truck. I was staring out at the window, waiting to be consumed by a life of dread, misery, and damp green patches of grass and moss... everywhere. It was too green, really. I wasn't used to it. I used to live in the great, sunny part of southern California. I sighed, remembering what had brought me here.
The death of both of my parents forced me to live in the small town of Forks, Washington. Tears slowly rolled down my cheeks. Bella just recently picked me up from the airport, and silently drove me back. I tried quickly to wipe away the oncoming tears, too embarrassed for her to see me like this. Bella and I were close, but crying in front of her was still embarrassing to me.
I sighed. The awkward silence made me more depressed than I already was. Fortunately, but in an also unfortunate way, Bella ended the awkward silence, just to start an awkward conversation.
"How's Forks looking?" she asked me, smiling.
"Ugh it's so green!" I groaned. "It's so dreary and depressing. I really can't stand it. How did you come to like this place?"
She smirked. "You'll get used to it. It's not a bad place at all." I knew there was a double meaning behind this. In most, if not all, of the emails she sent me since she moved here, she mentioned her dearly beloved Edward Cullen. He apparently was the most perfect guy out there in her eyes. He was the only reason she actually stayed in this stupid little town.
I rolled my eyes. "Really Bella. Like, I am ever going to stay here longer than I need to! I mean, I'm already a legal adult. There's no reason I should have to stay with Charlie!"
She sighed. "Well you have to pretend you're okay. For me... for Charlie?" I sighed, defeated. I promised her I wouldn't ruin their lives with all my whining and complaining. She thanked me as she talked more about her love.
"Edward seems like a really great guy Bella, but could we change the subject?" I asked her as we pulled into the driveway of my new home. Bella rolled her eyes as she and I grabbed my bags and she led me into the house.
Charlie was sitting in one of the chairs that didn't match the rest of the yellow kitchen. I looked around. It looked the same as it had a few summers ago when I came to visit. I sighed, shaking my head slightly before I walked up the stairs to my room with a simple hello to Charlie. Bella led me to the empty guest room they had prepared for me.
Bella gently set my things down onto the bed and left. She didn't bother sticking around, sensing I wanted to be alone. I sighed and silently threw all my things into a corner, not bothering to put them away properly.
I walked back down the stairs to see only Charlie in the living room, watching a game on the television. I walked to the refrigerator and opened it to reveal barely anything. I was hoping Charlie would have something chocolate to help comfort me. Chocolate was the only thing I could count on now. It was what you would call my comfort food. I sighed and walked into the living room, making my presence noticeable.
Charlie quickly silenced the television and looked straight at me. I blushed, not needing that much attention for my simple question. "Um, Charlie, I was wondering if I could borrow the cruiser to go to the market and get some food."
He quickly got up and dashed to his keys. He probably thought I needed anything I wanted in my fragile state. Waterworks was not Charlie's specialties. He handed me the keys and I quickly walked off, saying a quick goodbye to Charlie.
I got into the cruiser and I went to the local supermarket. I walked into the store, followed by a lot of curious stares. I ignored them. I walked into the store and went straight to the candy aisle.
I stopped suddenly as I saw an occupant already in the aisle. She stared. wide-eyed at me. She didn't move, and I couldn't under her stare. I looked her over. She was short, pixie-like. She had short black hair that spiked out at the bottom. She had pale skin, and she was inhumanely beautiful.
I finally snapped back into reality. She was still staring at me. I slowly walked towards the chocolate, snatched a few bars, and ran back out of the aisle. I hurriedly paid and raced out to the cruiser, once again followed by more stares. I quickly pulled away from the store and raced quickly back to the house.
I quickly raced into the house and ran straight up to my new bedroom. I laid on the be and ate the large chocolate bar in just a few minutes. I cried myself to sleep the rest of then night.
