A new life
Chapter 1: Were What?
0---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------0
My dad and I were driving the Cullen's for lunch like we did every second weekend. Our families had been friends for along time. My mother Renee' was best friends with Esme, after my mother died when I was 14 she was really there for me. She was a big help when I was about 14 going on 15 and was in that stage of life of 'becoming a women'.
Esme and Carlisle had 3 kids, Emmett their oldest son then Alice and Edward who were the same age as me only two days older.
We all grew up together, Alice and I were best fiends and Emmett was like my older brother, you the older brother that will bet the crap out of any boy that so much as look's at you. Yeah that's Emmett. As for Edward well he's really just a pain in my butt.
Even before my mother died we were always pushed together, made to play in the sand box together, we had all the same classes, same group of friends, but still to our parents dismay will still cant stand each other.
My dad pulled off onto the Cullen's driveway and up to their house.
We didn't even bother to knock instead we just walked in, my dad went out back to where I'm guessing the boys where and I worked to the kitchen.
Before I go on I should tell you in our families the women stayed in the kitchen and at home, looking after the children and cleaning while the men go to work and do 'Man stuff". But growing up in this environment I got used to it, I can still have a real life after High school and before I get married.
I walked into the kitchen to find all the work done and Esme, Alice and Rosalie (Emmett's long time gf) sitting and drinking coffee.
"Oh, Hello Bella where's Charlie?" Esme asked me, I just pointed outside and sat down with the girls. But she got up and walked out the back. Odd.
"So Bells, guess what?" Alice shirked at me.
"What Ali?" I said not wanting to play games.
"Jasper totally asked me out" she told me with the biggest smile on her face.
"Ali that's so great, congrads" I told her smile, it was boned to happen.
"What's Sooooo great?" Edward asked as he walked into the kitchen with Emmett and Jasper in toe.
Of course being the dick that he is walked over and slung his arm over my shoulder.
"Get off me, god Edward don't you have some little slut to go fuck or something, I think Jessica will be happy to help" I told him and got up to walk to the other side of the kitchen.
"Not when your right here my love" he said with that gorgeous grim on his face. That's right I can say it, he is totally hot but I'll never say that out loud. Stupid bitch.
"Ok kid's foods up." Esme called from out back. I walked out first and sat with my dad, Alice next to me, then jasper, then Esme Carlisle at the head of the table opposite Charlie, then Emmett, then rose and Edward was across from me.
After we said our grace we all started eating.
After about 10 mins Carlisle and Charlie both stood up.
"Ok, so we have something to tell you all, Edward and Bella especially" at the sounds of our names both our heads shot up.
"Edward, Bella the two of you have been promised to one other." Charlie said and the food that I was eating was now on the table and I was coughing up a fit. I looked at Edward and he was doing the same thing.
"Were what?" I finally got out.
"Your engaged, promise to each other, oh what do they call it?" Charlie was try to find the right name and I had it.
"Punished, torched, being sent to an early death, what the hell dad? How could you do this? Edward and I hate each other, can you not see it" I yelled at him.
I looked at Edward and he was looking at me in shock and a little hurt, then I felt like I was going to be sick, I ran from the table and bolted to the bathroom. Just the way I wanted to end up, not.
