Ordinary.
Chapter Two
I stretched my arms after placing my old truck in park. My mind was turning like crazy as I tried to decide, what exactly my decision should be. It wasn't everyday that something like this popped up, and I had more than myself to think about.
I had a feeling Emmet would be down at the station, following deep in our father's footsteps. He was good at what he did, and always made time for Rose, in fact, my reason for stopping at the bookstore made me smirk. How to Propose for Dummies, was deep within my bag, and I knew that Emmet would probably kill me for bringing it up, but isn't that what little sisters are for?
I still lived with Em, and Rosalie, simply because of the comfort they brought. I felt like I was safe from the real world and its problems when I was at home. Sure the old creaky floor, held more memories than I would hope, but we just couldn't find it in our hearts to sell the place we had grown up in.
I stepped out of Ralph, my good ol' sturdy truck and sighed in exasperation. Soon enough I would have to call Alice and endure the yelling and screaming of me not getting back to her in time.
Pulling everything in the house I slipped off my shoes and stretched. It felt great to be home.
"Bella?"
Rosalie's head peaked around the corner and she looked even more beautiful than ever. I always wondered how she was able to do that?
"Just me Rose."
She walked up and gave me a hug asking about my past week at school. I didn't want to tell her, what the professor had said to me, so I left that out for later.
"So where's my bro?"
"At work. Apparently there was some sort of attack at Port Angeles so he did what any good man would do-"
"He put it off till the last minute didn't he?" I sighed as Rose laughed.
So Emmet may have been good at whatever he did, but he was one hell of a procrastinator.
We walked to the kitchen where I sat down and pulled out my cell phone. Sure enough, there was three text messages, two from Alice, and one from someone, who I wished I didn't have to speak with. Since the voicemails probably belonged to my favourite pixie of a friend, the text seemed like the most economical solution to finding out what was up.
Bella! How is school? What are you doing....HOW COME YOU HAVEN'T CALLED ME? –Alice
Yo. You still picking her up at ten?
I swear I growled. I could almost hear the way he said the word she.
Isabella Marie Swan! That's it! Me and Jasper are coming over tonight. No excuses.
I sighed as Rose raised her eyebrows at me.
"Alice is coming over tonight."
"She already called, and said her and Jasper were brining over Chinese," she must've noticed my change in attitude and crossed her arms over her chest. "He called you?"
"No. He doesn't even have balls enough to call me, so instead I get a text message asking when I am going to meet him tomorrow. "
"I don't know why you put up with it Bella."
"I could never take her away from her...father..." I could see Rose stiffen. "I'm fine Rose."
It still hurt knowing that I had no parent's. No one to walk me down the aisle, no one to confide in or gossip to. Sure Emmet and Rose were always there for me, but they weren't Mom or Dad. So I promised myself, that I would never stop her from seeing him.
I decided to waste whatever free time I had before Alice arrived, by taking a hot shower and slipping into some comfortable sweatpants. No doubt my sense of fashion would be bulls-eyed by fashionista herself, but I needed to relax and think.
"Ah so she arrives!"
Jasper's voice always brought about an edge of calm, which I desperately needed.
"Hey Jazz."
"Bella!" Alice exclaimed, launching herself at me. "It's been too long."
"Ugh, Ali, we talked last night."
She rolled her eyes and joined Jasper on the couch. I noticed that Emmet was still nowhere to be found.
"Go dish up everybody, and thanks Alice and Jasper for the meal that involves no dishes."
A chorus of laughter was heard as we all filled our plates and made our way to the table. I pushed around the egg-roll on my plate when Alice looked quizzically at me. Damn her for being so observant.
"Bella, is something on your mind?" She asked as I took a deep breath.
"Mr. Banner talked to me today. And before any of you freak out, the news is good, just really surprising." I am sure that stopped a few statements of outburst. "He wants me to work as his assistant and do my practicum there."
"That's amazing Bella!"
"Ya you have to take it!" Rose was ecstatic but soon realization dawned on my friends.
"It means more days away from Forks...."
They nodded in understanding,
"I just don't think I can do it guys. I mean with everything going on, I wouldn't be able to leave her for that long anyways."
I had graduated the end of this semester, so maybe finding something closer to home would be the best idea, considering the circumstances I was working with. I ran my hands through my hair and realized that I still had no conclusion drawn.
"The party has arrived!"
Emmet burst through the door like a kid walking into a toy store on Christmas.
"Em! I love you and all, but can you please remove your boots before you track mud all over my clean floor?"
He smiled sheepishly and obliged Rose's request.
"Oh Belly-bear!"
I shot him a glare as Emmet pulled me into one of his bear hugs. Any harder and I am sure bones would be breaking.
"Hey Ali, 'sup Jazz?"
"Hey Emmet," they said through their laughter. Those two were definitely soul mates.
"So what was the deal tonight?" Jasper asked.
Emmet seemed to tense up, which surprised me greatly considering normally, he would've made a joke about how he had kicked someone's ass. He looked at me, before letting out a bellowing laugh.
"No damage done really. Just something the Port Angeles police believed they needed help with. Sometimes they piss me the fuc-"
"Em!" Rosalie scolded.
"She's not here Rosie so it's okay...."
Rosalie still gave him a glare, something that told me he would likely be sleeping on the couch.
"We should have a girls night out tomorrow!" Alice chirped as I rolled my eyes. Leave it to Alice to switch the subject.
I knew that Em, was definitely keeping something from me though.
"Really Alice? I don't think I should be going out, I haven't seen-"
"Bella. Once she's in bed."
Damn. There goes my escape plan.
"But who would babysit?" I asked as Alice shook her head.
"Silly Bella. You have two perfectly good men who are not working tomorrow who would gladly look after her right?" I looked at Emmet and Jasper who shrugged.
"It's no problem really. I wanted to teach the little squirt how to throw a proper punch!"
"Emmet! She's four!" I gasped.
"Just kidding sis. Don't get your panties in a knot. I have no problems looking after her. And Jazz can keep me company."
Well, I guess it would help the guys out when they both started having their own kids.
"Well, it's been a slice, but me and Jasper are heading out," Alice stated winking at me.
"Please no Bella Barbie Alice?" I begged.
"I make no promise's Swan."
I was royally screwed.
Alice and Jasper waved and I helped Rose clean up the mess left after our wonderful Chinese meal.
"You know Bella, you should get back into the dating scene again."
I was surprised by her statement, but Rose just smiled.
"Emmet worries about you. He wonders if that one mistake," I smirked, "messed everything in your future up."
That's when I realized something.
"So that's why...." I muttered. "Em is worried, that when you guys get married, and I move out, that I'll think I'm alone right?"
"I always wondered why you didn't major in psychology?"
We both giggled as my brother joined us.
"And what are my two ladies laughing about?"
We both shrugged our shoulders, but could not stop the grin that went from cheek to cheek on each of us.
"Okay, well, I feel like I just entered a whole new planet..."
He may have been right.
We finished cleaning and all rejoined each other back in the living room. I was enjoying the comfort of my home, when that annoying vibrating sound made its way through the room.
I noticed the caller and groaned.
"It's him"
I mouthed towards them as that fierce look came across Emmet's eyes.
"Hello?"
"Bella?"
"Michael, it's almost midnight, what the hell are you calling for?" I was in no mood to put up with his shit tonight.
"Um, we have a situation...."
I felt my muscles clench.
"What do you mean a situation?" I hissed as Emmet started to rise.
"I need you to come to the hospital."
I almost dropped the phone.
"Bella?Bella?"
"What happened? Is she okay? What the fuck is going on?"
"She's fine. I think she just broke her arm."
She's fine? He calls a broken arm fine?
"I'll be there in five."
I stood quickly and grabbed my truck keys from the counter.
"What's going on Bells?"
I took a deep breath.
"She broke her arm, according to Mike anyways. I have to go guys."
They nodded and I made my way to the hospital. I tried to stay as calm as possible, especially since the anger would've made driving impossible. I noticed Mike's car in the parking lot and that made my senses freak out even more.
"Hi there," I said to the woman at the desk. "I am looking for-"
"Bella?"
I was met by one of my favourite people.
"Carlisle. Thank god."
He just laughed and told me to follow him. Carlisle was one of the few people I trusted, and not to mention the fact, that he was a gorgeous and caring man. I see where Alice got her good looks from.
"I am not attending to her, but I assure you, the doctor that is amazing."
I nodded as we made our way to the waiting room, where Mike was waiting.
"Where is she?" I asked not even bothering to ask him how he was.
"They have her in the room right now. They think she might have a concussion."
"Apparently she takes after her mother." Carlisle laughed as I pouted.
"Are you the mother of Abigail Swan?"
I turned to be met, by a young and overly good looking doctor. One I had never seen here before.
"That's me," I managed to say, even though his beauty was making me speechless.
"I am Doctor Edward Masen."
It was then I realized, he could be whatever he wanted to.
Authors Note: Voila. Second chapter. Meeting Edward. Hating Mike. And mommy Bella is about to swoon. Yay.
Please send some words my way.
