All right chp. 2 Don't own Twilight. Just pretending
BVOP
I slowly walked to the bouncy happy girl. She was moving her eyes scanning the air port for some idea as to who she was picking up. Her eyes darted in my direction and she had a look of recognition on her face. I pointed to the sign and gave a small smile. She seemed to get even more excited with my acknowledgement, because she was bouncing on the balls of her feet.
"I'm Bella. I guess you're my ride." The pixie like girl squealed in delight and gave me a hug. Damn what was she on?
"Hi Bella! I am Alice Cullen. My dad sent me to pick you up. I am sorry about your dad, but you will see him soon! I see you have your luggage. Are you ready to leave?"
"Yup, I'm good so lead the way." I tried to sound happy, but who the hell was I kidding? I was far from happiness and I doubted that I would find it in rain logged Forks.
We walked through the parking garage and Alice was talking a mile a minute. I was kind of listening and from what I could understand she was so happy to meet me. Her dad is Dr. Cullen, and she is a Senior at Forks high. She also feels like her and I will be the best of friends. She stopped at a beautiful yellow Porsche.
"This is your car?" I tried not to stutter but DAMN!
With a little giggle escaping her lips she said "Yes!! My dad bought it for me for my eighteenth birthday present. I love my car!"
"Wow." I couldn't think of what to say. Alice has a Porsche. Not just any Porsche mind you but a Turbo 911 boxster. I began wondering if she would let me drive it. I shook my head and tried to come up with something else to say but all I had was "wow". With that brain stimulating statement I put my luggage in the trunk and got in the passenger seat. I was doing my best not to drool on the leather interior.
"Bella? Are you all right? Do I need to pull over?"
"No no Alice. In all honesty I am just trying not to drool a puddle onto your floorboards." She laughed a high tinkling sound coming from her mouth.
"I guess I should have brought a bucket for you to drool into. I had no idea you would like my car so much."
"You are basically driving my dream car." Crap! I said that out loud. I know I could have come up with something better than that. She just giggled again.
"You want to drive it?"
"I would love to, but I'm not sure that is a good idea. I might not give it back to you." I sighed and went on "I will admit that I have dreamt about a car like this since I turned sixteen. I have even gone to the Porsche website and created my dream car. Instead of yellow I would have gone with midnight blue"
"You don't seem like the car type Bella."
"I'm not. I just like to go fast. Plus I think that Porsches are a sexy mother of a car!" I said with a shrug and a laugh.
"Damn straight they are!"
"I do believe dear Watson that you were right about us being friends."
Alice laughed again "I'm always right Sherlock".
When I see your smile I will never let you fall
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm stronger I've figured out
How this world turns cold and breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
Alice answered her phone, and I looked out at the very green scenery. I missed Phoenix and I couldn't help but sigh.
"Bella, are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm okay. Um Alice, will you take me by my dad's before we go to the hospital. I want to drop off my suitcase."
"Sure Bella. Not a problem. Oh my parents want me to invite you to dinner and to stay the night with us, so you won't be all alone."
"Uh Alice, thanks for the offer, but uh I think I should stay at my dads tonight. That way I can start unpacking and getting things settled for when he comes home. Plus tomorrow I have to register at school, and talk to the track coach." I didn't even know if there was a track team. I was going to start one if there wasn't. I needed the competition even if it was weak. I needed some way to make myslef push my body further.
"Oh well Bella, you don't have a car and it is your first night here. Would it be okay with you if I stayed at your dads with you? Then I could take you by the school in the morning and to the hospital to see your dad."
"Sure Alice. I guess that would be fine." In reality, I had no idea what shape the house was in, but I guess it would be nice to have someone with me.
All of a sudden Alice was on her phone again. I just looked out the window and thought to myself. I didn't want to be rude. I guess she was clearing her plans with her parents.
"Here's the plan." Alice broke me out of my mindless staring out the window. "We are going to stop at your house and drop off your stuff. Then we are going to the hospital where you will see your dad, and my brother Edward will bring me a bag that my mom will have packed so I can stay the night with you. After we leave the hospital we will pick up a pizza and head back to your house to get you unpacked!"
"Alice, you are a planner aren't you?" I had a feeling that Alice's plans weren't easily broken either.
"What? I just like to be organized."
After that we talked back and forth about Forks. Alice gave me advice of who to avoid at Forks high, and pretty much what to expect. She told me that she was adopted and that her brother Edward would be in our class and she had an older brother named Emmitt. I filled her in on being an only child and that Renee left Charlie when I was a baby. I kept out the whole track, training and olympic info. I decided that no one else knew so why start now. I did a lot of talking about my visits to Forks to see Charlie. Of course I hadn't been to Forks since I was thirteen, which meant that I have spent minimal time with him. We discussed what we liked to do and surprisingly we had a lot of stuff in common. The rest of the ride we listened to music and sang along with the radio.
Before I knew it we were in Forks, and I was running my suitcase up the steps of the front porch of my dad's house. Well I guess my house now. Once we started to the hospital I crossed my fingers and hoped Charlie wouldn't be mad.
