A/N : Thanks for all the alerts/faves !
And a special thanks to Hazelholly , KJCullenHatterSalvitoreBloome , hockeygirlxox , andsprazinko for reviwing!!
Hazelholly: I'm still debating on what I want the Bella pairing to be so right now it's a secret :) but there will be cannon pairings like Elena/Stephan and Jeremy/Vicky.
If anyone would want to see a specific pairing let me know and I'll see if I can put them in the story.
Oh and I forgot to mention last chapter that for this story school in Forks starts a month earlier then in Mystic Falls so when Bella gets to Mystic Falls school hasn't started yet.
Disclaimer: Still don't own Vampire Diaries or Twilight.
Goodbye
Chapter 1: Arriving at Mystic Falls
"Hello?...Oh, hi Charlie….Don't worry everything's set up….Bella was always great as a kid so I don't mind….yeah I'll pick her up at the airport….okay bye."
"Who was that?" Elena Gilbert walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table for breakfast
"It was Uncle Charlie making sure that we were ready for Bella." Jenna sipped her coffee and watched Elena for a reaction; she still wasn't sure how Elena felt about her cousin coming to live with them.
"What time does the plane land?" Elena started to make a bowl of cereal, concentrating more on her breakfast then the conversation.
"In about two more hours. I'm going to take Bella shopping for some new clothes and stuff for her room, do you want to come with us? We can make a girls day out of it"
She seemed to think about it for a second. "I guess, can Bonnie come to?"
"Of course. Be ready in an hour so were not late." Jenna put her empty cup in the sink and walked out of the room.
"Hmm." Elena mumbled in response, not really paying attention as her aunt left the kitchen.
As she ate she tried remembering the last time she saw Bella. She knew Bella was at her parent's funeral but she had just blended in with the sea of endless faces offering their condolences.
Besides the funeral the last time she saw Bella was a few years ago when she visited for about two weeks in the summer. Bella had been a little awkward and shy, even around her family.
Elena had ended up spending those two weeks with Bonnie and Caroline more then with Bella. Jeremy had managed to get Bella to play a few video games but besides that she spent her time reading.
Thinking about that summer Elena felt a little guilty. When they were kids Elena and Bella used to be really close but around middle school they started to loose touch and by high school they didn't call each other at all, and that summer instead of trying to catch up Elena escaped to go hang out with her friends, she didn't even remember if she introduced her to Bonnie and Caroline.
Now would be the perfect time to make up for that but Elena didn't know if she up for it. She was just starting to feel normal again after her parent's accident and was trying to get back to her normal life. Helping Bella fit in the school and get used to the town almost felt like a chore. But wasn't that being selfish? Aunt Jenna decided to take Bella in even though she has two other teenagers to look after.
To be honest, she wasn't even completely sure why Bella was coming. When she first heard the news she had been too excited to question why. Now Elena was worried
Jeremy walking into the kitchen and opening the refrigerator took Elena away from her thoughts.
He was wearing sweats and an old t-shirt, his hair was a mess. "Get dressed before Bella gets here. You don't want her thinking that you're a slob."
"Whatever." Jeremy commented while grabbing a slice of bread. But Elena noticed that he looked down at what he was wearing and made a face at his clothes, as if agreeing with her.
Elena put the bowl away and walked upstairs to finish getting ready and to call Bonnie.
She picked up on the third ring. "Hi Elena. What up?"
"Hey Bonnie, my cousin is coming today and were going to take her shopping. Wanna come and help me show her around?"
"I don't think I can." She sounded genuinely sorry. "I told Gran I would visit her today. Besides won't I be a third wheel while you two catch up?" Her tone was light hearted but Elena could ear the faint amount of worry in it.
"I doubt Bella will be replacing you as my best friend Bon, we haven't talked in years."
"Well you should catch up then. It'll be good for you to have more family around. If you want I can try to stop by your house tonight."
Elena smiled. "Alright, call you later."
"Bye!"
Elena grabbed her jacket and started to walk downstairs. She decided that Bonnie was
right; it was a good thing that Bella was coming to Mystic Falls.
"Your ready?" Jenna asked Elena from the bottom of the stairs.
"Yep." Elena nodded and smiled, her earlier excitement at her cousin coming over was back.
Jenna smiled back, sensing Elena's good mood. "Let's go."
Bella watched the clouds as they passed the plane. It would be landing in a few minutes and she was worried.
When she moved to Forks it was just going to be her and Charlie, she knew what to expect from Charlie but not from her cousins, and I still felt like se was being a burden to Jenna.
"We will be landing in a few minutes, please put your seatbelts on. We hope you enjoyed your flight." A stewardess's voice said over the plane's speakers.
Bella's thoughts shifted to Forks. Charlie had given her a hug goodbye and made her promise to call. His goodbye was quick and not over emotional just like she liked them.
Jacob's goodbye on the other hand was more emotional. He had tried to make it light hearted for Bella because he knew she didn't like to make a scene, but when he tried to make a joke she ended up crying.
He had hugged her and rubbed her back in soothing circles promising to text and call so much that Bella would get sick of him.
Bella had shook her head and told him that it wasn't possible for her to get sick of her best friend.
Jacob just smiled and hugged her more before telling her to urry up and get on the plane before she missed it.
Nothing eventful happened on her last night in Forks, no visitors through the window or fancy car in the driveway to single any visitors from a certain family. Bella hadn't even noticed that she was hoping that Alice saw her leaving in a vision and would come to say goodbye or do something until she was on the plane and felt depressed that no one showed up.
She couldn't even say his name in her head anymore. That goodbye in her head had been an act of bravery and independence. She was leaving and was going to be able to say his name without it hurting. But the realization that none of the Cullens came for a goodbye made her feel vulnerable and he was right back to being him.
"We have landed the plane. Please wait for the pilot to turn off the seatbelt sign before getting up." Another stewardess's voice announced.
Bella looked at her watch, surprised the plane ride seemed so fast.
In a matter of minutes she was off of the plane and at luggage claim. She spotted Jenna and Elena almost immediately.
She didn't walk up to the right away, instead just looking at them. She wasn't even standing next to them and she already felt plain.
Both Jenna and Elena were somewhat 'girly' girls and wore makeup and dressed nice. Stuff like that never interested Bella who preferred little to no makeup and wearing whatever was most comfortable. She never felt the need to dress up since before Forks boys never seemed to notice her.
All those thoughts left her mind tough as Jenna threw her arms around her in a hug. "It's great to see you Bella."
Bella put a small smile on her face. "You to."
Jenna let go of her and Elena and Bella hugged next. "Hey cuz."
Each girl took a suitcase and Jenna led them to the car, talking about Mystic Falls and how much easier school would be with Elena to introduce her to everyone.
"Your going to get to see the town, while we go shopping."
"What?" Bella asked. Elena's statement had taken her out of her thoughts of why Jacob had yet to text her.
"Shopping." Elena repeated. "You know for clothes and stuff for your room."
"That's okay. I have enough clothes and can always add more stuff to my room later. Not to mention I have jetlag."
Jenna smiled. "That's right you don't like sopping. I thought you would have grown out of that by now." Her smile almost turned predatory. "We're going to have to change that."
Elena smiled to while looking at Bella's outfit. "I don't know how they dressed in Forks but the style in Mystic Falls is great if you know where to look." Her wink at the end of the sentence showed that she meant no insult to Bella's style.
"Okay." Bella said even though she had a feeling she really had no choice.
What have I gotten myself into?
A/N: Next chapter is shopping and Bella meets some of Elena's friends. The chapters are going to get longer as the story goes on.
What did you think of this chapter? Let me know in a review! : )
