Chapter 2: I am happy
"So why don't you tell us about yourself?" Bella asked from the front seat of the car. Her hands were intertwined with Edwards. But in all honesty there wasn't much to say about myself.
"There really isn't much to say..." I mumbled looking out the window. There was an awkward tension going on throughout the car.
"How about your age?" Bella asked.
"I'm 13." I said back still watching the rain drip down the window as we sped down the high way.
"Where do you go to school?" Edward spoke up this time. He seemed to be quiet throughout the whole car ride.
"Um, Forks High School." I said just as we passed it.
"I went there." Bella turned around to look at me. She gave me a small smile. So I gave her one in return. The rest of the ride we rode in silence apart from the occasional whispers coming from Bella and Edward.
"Were home." Bella announced as we pulled up to a giant wooden house. The house seemed to look like one big window. It was amazing.
"Wow." I said my mouth dropping opened. "Is it just the two of you that live here?" I asked in awe.
"Yeah, but the family comes over a lot." Bella said hopping out of the car. Gathering all my stuff together I walked out of the car and up the marble steps. Edward opened the door and the three of us stepped in.
"Holy shit." I said my eyes bulging out of my head.
"Excuse me?" Bella said eyeing me.
"Sorry." I muttered looking down at the floor. I guess I wasn't allowed to swear while I stayed here. Awesome. Sighing I looked around for Edward.
"Right behind you kiddo." His velvet voice said from behind me. I turned around and smiled at him.
"You're house is huge." I complemented.
"Thanks squirt." He said ruffling my hair. I laughed and pushed his hand away.
"I'll show you your room." Bella said interrupting our fun. The two of us walked up the stairs and to the left. I followed her into the next room. It had windows as walls and in the center was a small black couch looking bed. On either side of the real walls were book cases filled with books.
"You like to read." I said running my finger tips across the bindings of the books.
"I love too actually." Bella said as she sat down on the bed. I walked over and took a seat beside her.
"Thanks." I said softly still embarrassed around her. But I mean who wouldn't be. She was beautiful. She had a heart shaped face, brown silky hair that ran down her back like a waterfall, and chocolate brown eyes.
"For what?" She asked confused.
"For taking me in until I find a place to live." I said looking up to meet her eyes.
"Oh darling." She said as she wrapped her arms around my shoulders. "It's no problem, you're a pleasure to have." I could have sworn I felt her kiss my head but in moments she was up and walking out of the room. "Just call if you need anything." She yelled out. Flopping down on the bed I felt my phone vibrating in my back pocket.
"Hello?" I asked into the phone.
"Care to explain what the hell happened to you!" Rachel screamed into the phone. I sat up suddenly.
"Oh, it's kind of…" I started
"I don't care if it's long or complicated, start talking."
"Well I guess that my dad beat me up pretty bad that I had to go to the hospital and now I'm staying with this nice couple until they can find me a home. My dad was put in prison." I said all in one breathe.
"Are you serious? Finally that stupid basterd is gone!" I could just picture her jumping around her room.
"He was my father Rachel." I said
"Who cares he's gone."
"He's all I had left." I said sadly.
"Renesmee, he almost killed you, he doesn't love you, and it's good that he's gone." I sighed.
"Whatever." I said.
"So tell me about this new couple your with." A smile came to my face as she mentioned them.
"There names are Bella and Edward." I said
"Edward? What the hell kind of name is that." Rachel scoffed through the phone.
"I don't know." I shrugged.
"Ok sorry continue." I laughed at her. She was so impatient.
"Um...well there both unbelievelbly gorgeous. Like it's almost creepy." I stated.
"I'll have to come meet them, I mean if this Edward guy is as cute as you say." Her voice hinted.
"He's married!" I shouted into the phone at her.
"Things can still happen." Wonderful Rachel. I thought.
"Rachel…." I said.
"I'm joking Ness, calm down." She said. Just then there was a knock at my door.
"Ok, I have to go. Bye!" I said and hung up on her. "Come in!" I called. Just then Bella peaked her head into the room.
"Hey, um so dinner is ready." She said kindly.
"Ok, cool." I stood up and followed her out of my room. I was expecting her to walk down the stair but she pulled me into a hug instead.
"Please don't think that you're intruding by staying here with us." She said as her she hugged me tighter to her. I wrapped my arms around her waist.
"Ok." I said
"We love having you here." She let go of me and ran her finger down my cheek. "We really do." I smiled up at her, and this time it was a real smile. A smile that for the first time wasn't forced to make people believe that I am happy. No not this time, because I am.
