SICK DAYS
I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH TWILIGHT.
I pulled open the door to my tiny apartment exhausted from my day of teaching. All-in-all they were a great class but I was just so out of practice. I left a note and my contact information for the teacher in case he needed another substitute and I, as were the instructions, hightailed it out of there.
After I changed into more comfortable clothes and stuck a low-calorie tv dinner in the microwave I settled in for a night of primetime television on my small loveseat. I lived very modestly and have since I can remember. My parents were very hard workers but we never had much money growing up. My brother, Emmett, and I were always happy and had everything we ever truly needed. My mom works as a librarian in my small hometown of Forks, Washington. She loved books and passed that love down onto me. We could sit for hours in complete silence engulfed in classic novels. My father is the police chief of Forks and has been my hero since I was a baby. I am a major daddy's girl and I am not afraid to admit it. Although he chases away any boys that look my way, he is always there for me and is my biggest supporter.
My big brother, Emmett, has a personality that is completely opposite of mine. Where he is loud, I am quiet. Where he is inappropriate, I am reserved. Where he is tall, I am short. Well, you get the picture. He plays for the Seahawks and is married to one of my very best friends from high school, Rosalie, and together they have the most beautiful little girl. My niece, Chloe, is 3 years old. She got her personality from Emmett and her looks from Rosalie. Whenever I am around her, she is like my little shadow and I love every minute of it.
I just finished off my TV dinner, almost licking it clean, when I hear a soft knock on my door. I slowly rise and stretch out my body before padding over to answer it.
"Hi Bella." Rosalie is standing before in a pair of jeans and a to die for pair of heels. She has my sleeping niece in her arms and so I step aside and let them both in before walking ahead of them to open up the guest bedroom door. Chloe decided that it was her room and made sure I decorated it to her liking. Once Chloe was laying peacefully in her bed, Rose and I headed back out into the living room and sat down together.
"So what's up?" I ask. It is not like her to show up unannounced at night, on a Monday? Ok who am I kidding this was totally like her. It was totally like my whole family.
"I can't sleep, Emmett's away and Chloe has been running around like a crazy person and I just needed some girl time." She whined as she stood up and headed to the kitchen before coming back out with two glasses of red wine. She hands me one and then joins me back on the sofa.
"Well I had my first sub job today."
"Oh yeah! How was that? Any tips about how Chloe will be in a few years?" Rosalie chattered excitedly.
"Exhausting. I loved the kids and you should have seen the plans the teacher left. He was so funny. However, I am just so out of practice." I admitted.
"I can name something else you are out of practice at." Rosalie hinted and I blushed under her scrutiny.
"Ok, so not talking about that and besides, I don't have any practice at that particular thing." I quietly announced.
"We need to get you-"
"Auntie Bella? What am I doing in your house?" Saved by the Chloe.
