Can I just start by saying a huge huge huge thankyou to all the people who reviewd chapter one!!!!! I seriously wasnt expecting for so many people to review already!! So thank you all a thousand times!!

just so you know Bella isn't actually Charlies granddaughter in this story, she's just posing as his granddaughter so people don't get suspicious. I know I should probably point that out some time in the story but it's one of those things that sortof has to wait until one of the characters in the story explains it to the new character. Sorry that made hardly any sense, trust me it will later on in the story. And also somebody wanted to know why none of the teachers remember the cullens and Bella. That'll get explained later in the story but for now there are other things I have to concentrate on.

Chapter 2: At the Swan's House

"So do you like Forks, so far?" Bella asked me. We were making dinner in Charlie's kitchen while my dad and her grandpa were watching the game in the living room. Turned out they were both obsessed with the TV screen. Figures.

"Well..." I didn't want to insult her home town or anything, but I had to be honest. "It's a bit gloomy. And wet."

Bella just laughed. "That's everybody's first imrpession. Actually, I don't think anybody ever changes their opinion about, actually."

I laughed. "Well you never know, I might grow to like it. It's just a shock cause I come from Phoenix and it's really sunny there."

Bella's eyes grew wide. "You're from Phoenix? So am I!"

Another thing we had in common. "Really? When did you move here?"

"When I was seventee...errr, seven. When I was seven."

"Wow, that's a long time ago."

"You bet it is." Her eyes suddenly looked very distant. I wondered why.

I didn't want to pry, but I was getting curious. "My dad told me you don't live with Charlie. Where do you live then?"

Bella's eyebrows came together for part of a second. "Well, I live with my hu...err...boyfriend, on the other side of town. Grandpa likes having the house to himself, so we're both happy."

I smiled. "Your boyfriend, huh? Your pretty lucky."

She smiled. "More than you know."

I frowned. Yeah, more than I knew alright. I'd never had a boyfriend, not because nobody had asked me out but because I just hadn't found the right person yet. Maybe I was being to picky, but either way, it was kind of depressing to hear about somebody like Bella who already found somebody perfect enough to move in with them.

"Sorry." She said. I think she noticed the frown on my face. "I didn't mean it like that. It's just...Edward...he's really the perfect guy."

I smiled to let her know that I wasn't upset. "I'm happy for you, then. How long have you been going out?"

"Err...quite a long time."

I nodded slowly, confused but dropped the subject anyway. Bella seemed weird about a lot of topics so I didn't know what I could talk to her about.

"Hey, are you starting at the local high school on Monday?" She asked me. "Sorry, it's a dumb question but I just thought I'd ask."

"Yeah, I am. Dreading it a bit."

"Don't worry, you'll fit right in." She looked like she was having a private joke when she said this. "You're seventeen, right?"

"Yup. 17. You?"

"Same here."

We grinned at each other, it seemed we had a LOT in common.

A few minutes later we sat down to eat with our dads/granddads and talked politely to each other for a while. Bella with some of my help had made some delicious pasta with a rosee sauce and it tasted absolutely delicious

"Bella, you'll have to show Lissa around on her first day and make sure she isn't lost or lonely." Charlie looked at the both of us.

"Don't worry da– grandpa, I will." Bella gave me a smile and we went back to eating our pasta. At one stage I looked up and thought I saw bella drop some pasta into her napkin in her lap on purpose... she gave me an odd look and I went back to eating my own pasta. I wondered if something was going on, but then Bella seemed pretty normal to me so I decided it was probably nothing.

After another hour it was time to go home, dad offered to do the dishes but I told him I would help Bella instead. After the game was over Dad headed home to get an early night since he had to go into the station to sort things out even though it was a Sunday, I stayed to finish the washing up with Bella and talk some more. Dad had gotten a job at the local police station because they were short of officers and that's how he had met Charlie in the first place.

When it was time to go I said good bye to Bella and got my coat on, then walked out the door. It was chilly outside but luckily it wasn't raining, I was glad I at least wasn't going to get drenched to the bone again. It wasn't a long walk but as I skipped down the short piece of sidewalk I hummed a little tune to myself because I was in an optimistic mood. Just as I was almost there,

BAM.

I smashed extra hard into something and I was sent flying onto the wet lawn, disoriented and confused. I was seeing stars as I tried to get up, there was something warm and sticky running down from my lip or my nose, I couldn't tell which. I still wasn't sure what I had hit so hard.

Somebody hissed a swear word above me, and then I felt a firm hand on my elbow, pulling me to my feet so I was standing facing them. I couldn't see their face because I was too dizzy from the hit.

"Are you okay? Did I hurt you? Man, I'm so sorry."

The voice sounded tense and impatient, I wasn't sure why.

"Fine." I said, only just noticing the sharp ache in my lip. The sticky stuff must have been blood, I thought.

"No, you're not." Suddenly there was an ice cold finger on my cheek wiping away some of the blood. When I could finally see again I saw that the person froze and stared at me with wide eyes. It was a tall guy with shaggy brown hair and dark, stormy eyes, he wore a brown coat and his face was very handsome. I was confused. Why was he staring at me like this? His expression looked horrified, pained, hungry, sympathetic, scared and angry all at the same time.

I wanted to ask what was wrong but before I could open my mouth he turned quicker than I'd ever seen before and vanished in the other direction as if he had teleported or something. I stood dumbstruck on the sidewalk as blood dripped down my face, before turning and slowly walking into my new house, wondering who the stranger could be.
