Chapter two
Alice POV
I stood looking at the door that Linda had just walked out of, I mean how could she have left me with a load of people I didn't even know? What was I kidding I knew she was leaving soon anyway and not just the room. Rosalie smiled and said "would you like something to eat or drink? Oh and Emmett why don't you take her bag so she isn't just standing there holding it"
I hadn't even noticed I still had it, I looked down and I knew the massive one was walking towards me but I tried to keep my cool even though in my mind I was screaming at myself and telling myself to run and not let the guy more than twice the size of myself even come close to me.
He took the bag off of me smiled and said "I will go pop this in your room I am sure you will see it when they get back" he walked out and my shoulders relaxed a little. Rosalie placed a glass of water on the counter and said "come on sit down" I did slowly but I did it, Jasper was sitting two bar stools down from me.
She lent on the counter and I took a sip of the water, it had been a long morning and I hadn't realised that I was in fact thirsty she smiled and said "so where you from Alice?" I inwardly thought how the hell can her smile keep growing as I smiled a small one and said "Biloxi, Mississippi you?"
"Rochester, New York but we moved to Texas and my mum and dad had Jasper over here" Jasper rolled his eyes and said "home sweet home" his accent was quite strong and I liked it, I had no idea why it was just soothing. I had put my back pack down next to the stool and the door opened and the two women walked in Linda smiled at me and said "well I think that is everything" I had tried to remember everything like the way to the nearest bus station on the drive and noticed in the car.
I stood as I knew I would be seeing her to the door with Esme she smiled and said "remember I will be doing monthly visits, take all your pills and do you still have my number" I slid my hands into my Jacket Pockets I was aware of the others looking at me but I mumbled "I broke it" in fury that the family who said they would keep me decided that their real child was too good to be around me. But I think I would keep that one to myself, I mean she knew sometimes I lost my temper who wouldn't?
Esme smiled and said "we can pick you up a new one so that you can stay in contact when we shopping a little later" I nodded but I was still dazed Linda smiled and said "chin up kid everything will work out, I swear the Cullen family are the nicest people I know, they will treat you right" I gave her a wary smile and then she said good bye, I watched the shiny white car drive away and I couldn't help but want to go into the car and pretend like we hadn't gotten there yet.
Esme smiled and said "come on I will show you around" I smiled and nodded, the house had two floors but was raised because the lower garage, which I was shocked when I saw all the cars she smiled and said "Rosalie needs something to do in her spare time, she doesn't usually let people tinker in here"
I was shocked Rosalie liked cars and she liked them so much to have so many and all of these things I didn't even know how to change a tire and she seemed like she could make a car, plus she had seemed so girlish the way she held herself and she was dressed. I shook my head scolding myself for judging a book by its cover.
She then showed me upstairs, they had a 'family room' as she called it, a TV, games, books and well everything looked so comfortable and homely. She then showed me the kitchen that we had been in but pointed the room next to it out witch was the dining room which had more books and a large glass table she smiled and said "we don't usually use this room because we all fit in the kitchen and no one is around at the same time bar holidays"
I nodded and we walked into the hallway, there was a massive space where the stairs were with a grand Piano she smiled and said "Edward loves playing but it's a shared object"
We walked up the stairs she said "this is your room, Rosalie is next to you, there is a shared bathroom inside" she pushed the door open it was the biggest room I had ever had since being in the care system, the walls were white and there was a massive wardrobe with a double bed my bag on it.
She said "it's not decorated yet but we can get some paint and new bedding and curtains maybe a rug" I smiled and said "I love it" while I walked in the rug was white too it was so nice, I felt at home I giggled and said "maybe some different curtains but I think I would like to keep the rest the same"
She then showed me the rest of the house it turned out that Jaspers room was next to Rosalie's room then Esme and Carlisle's were next to mine and Emmett and Edwards were across from ours, at the end was a study and then next to it another bathroom she smirked and said "the children fought to much so we put another one up here and one down stairs, mainly the boys since Rosalie has always had her own"
After the tour I started putting my things away and then went shopping with Rosalie and Esme, I went to many shops and was still guarded but found that we all shared a love for shopping. When we got back we decided we would decorate tomorrow and I went to my room to put everything away, I sat on the bed the bags all in front of me and I don't know how or when but I found myself falling asleep.
