AN – Thanks for all the reviews last chapter I was really happy to see all the feedback it has got. Here is chapter 2 Bella's POV. I think there will be a lot of inner dialogue even though I'll try not to put too much in.
Chapter 2 – Bella's POV
Beep BEEP! BEEP!!!! I grumbled and turned over in bed as I heard the alarm clock ring. Slamming my hand on the clock I stumbled and tripped getting out of bed. Typical me, tripping over carpet. I walked into the bathroom and blearily looked at my reflection in the mirror. I always used to think I looked like her – Renee. The woman I thought was my mother. I'm probably confusing you so I guess I should start at the beginning.
My name is Isabella Swan, Bella for short. I'm 15 years old and I was brought up in Phoenix with my mother and stepfather after my parents divorce. I had a pretty good life, decent grades and lots of friends. All that changed when my so called 'parents' told me I was adopted. I was shocked to say the least. I cried and screamed but eventually accepted it. I had secretly contacted the adoption agency that had handled my adoption and they told me that my real mother was called Rosalie Hale and she lived in Forks, Washington. It was a small world. She lived in the same town as Charlie, my adoptive father. I knew that I had to find her. I needed to meet her but I didn't know what she would say. She had never given a reason for giving me up. Would she accept me? I had to act carefully so I asked Charlie could I move in with him. I planned to get to know her and find out more about her while keeping my distance and waiting for the right time to tell her.
I walked back into my bedroom looking at the numerous boxes on my floor.
"Bella" My inner monologue was interrupted by Renee who was stood at the door. "Are you ok?" She asked concern etched in her tone.
"I'm fine" I said "I just want to get out of here" I tried to ignore the hurt in her face.
"You don't have to do this you know Bella" she said
"I do, I really do" I said walking past her. After showering and dressing I was ready. We packed the car with all my possessions and then we were off to the airport Renee throwing me anxious glances all the way their.
The flight was uneventful. I was shuffling in my seat nervous the whole way their.
When I arrived at the airport and saw Charlie my stomach started doing blackflips. The last time I saw him I had just found out I was adopted and I was screaming at him. He didn't seem angry now, more like just as nervous as me. I walked up to him.
"Hi" I said shyly
"Hello" he said nodding to me shuffling on each foot. After a few minutes of tension filled silence he picked up my bags and walked to his cruiser, me following. The ride to Charlie's house was filled with small talk and the ride seemed much longer than one hour.
Eventually we arrived at the house,
"Well here we are" Charlie said
"Yeah" I nodded uncomfortably.
"Will you need any help with unpacking?" he asked me. I shook my head.
"It's okay, I'll be fine" I said getting out of the car.
After unpacking and a quick tour of the house I was called outside by Charlie. Walking outside the first thing that caught my eye was the big red rusty truck in the driveway. I walked up to Charlie.
"What's going on?" I asked him
"I got you a little moving in present" he said gesturing towards the truck
"Are you serious? This is mine? Oh my god!" I squealed. Charlie beamed and handed me the keys. I took them off him and went to get in the truck. Charlie stopped me.
"I'm really glad you're here Bella. I've missed you" he said scuffing his shoe on the ground,
"I'm really glad I'm here too dad" I replied smiling. I turned and got into my new truck ready to check out the town and more importantly find my mother. I had gone 15 years without her and I wasn't going to go for much longer. My first stop was the Thriftway. I got my products and stood at the checkout point trying to calm my nerves. There was a man on the till about 20 years old. He raised his eyebrows at me and I passed him my stuff. I inhaled deeply.
"Erm Excuse me" I said and he looked up to me. "Do you know Rosalie Hale? I heard that she lives in this town" I said
"Rosalie Hale? The blonde one? Yeah sure she lives here in Forks with her husband, brother and all his adopted kids. They all run a restaurant I could write the address down for you if you like" He said.
"Yes please that would be great" I said gratefully. He wrote it down and passed me it along with my goods. I paid him and hurriedly thanking him I left the store. I got into my truck and was ready to go down there but upon seeing the time I hurried home vowing to go their tomorrow.
AN – So I hope you liked it. If you did then tell me and if you didn't then tell me as well haha. Can we try to get up to 15 reviews this time? The next chapter will be the meeting between them both. Anyone who reviews with the name of their story I will read and review every chapter as a thank you for reviewing. Also tell me if you prefer Rose's POV or Bella's POV I'm going to be doing both but I need to know who to do most.
