i hope you liked the first chapter. thanks so much for reading.
disclaimer: i dont own twilight. i dont own the characters either. Stephanie meyers and her brilliant mind thought them up.
"I... uh. I can't do that." I stammered.
"Bella, I've talked this through with my wife, my kids. They are all okay with this." Dr. Cullen said.
"Kids?" I asked. No way was I sharing a house with bratty little munchkins.
"Teenagers is more like it. I have 3 boys. 16, and a 17 year old. Then 1 girl. Alice."
"I... um. I wouldn't want to be a bother."
"Bella, my family and I have had 5 months to think this through. Trust me you wouldn't be a bother at all." Dr. Cullen said. "You can think about it if you would like."
"Okay." I agreed.
"I'll be back in a little while to check on you." Then he left.
Holy crap. Holy crap. What to do? What to do? Well, I'm not going to an orphanage. I don't have any where to go. Alice would be there and she seemed nice enough. But 2 boys. Both of them around my age. I don't know if I can handle this.
Knock, Knock.
"Come in." I said.
"Hey." Alice said as she walked in. "I thought I could tell you a little bit about the family."
"Okay."
"Great." She said as she sat on the edge of my bed and pulled her feet up underneath her. "Okay, well. Esme, my mom, she is the kindest person you will ever meet besides Carlisle. Then Emmett. He's , well he's just a big teddy bear. He's the family jokester, he is also a huge flirt. And Edward, the athlete, the musician. He's awesome."
"Okay." I honestly didn't know what to say. I would love to move in with them. But I just don't know.
So over the next few days I debated. Alice would come hang out with me a few hours every day. One of the days Dr. Cullen (or now he wants me to call him Carlisle) brought me these tests that would determine what grade I am in. Well, apparently I'm a freshmen in college. So yeah.
"Well... Shit." Alice said when she found out. "Will you tutor me in Calculus?"
So I started tutoring. I would help her with language arts, and her French class, because apparently I know french. One day that week Emmett came in to pick up Alice, so I got to meet him.
"Alice?" Emmett said sticking his head in the doorway.
"Hey Emmett, come in here for a minute I want you to meet Bella." Alice said.
Emmett walked in. Teddy Bear my ass. He was huge. He had to be at least 6'4. He was hugely buff, he had silver eyes like Carlisle and Alice. He also had short shaved black hair. Again, Teddy bear my ass.
"Hey Bella." Emmett said walking into the room and sitting down. "Does your head hurt?"
"Emmett!" Alice shrieked. She punched him in the arm. I laughed.
"Hey Emmett, and no. my head does not hurt." I said.
"You cant ask her that!" Alice shouted.
"She doesn't mind." Emmett said.
"Know could you possible know that?" She asked.
"Cause she already answered the question!" He shouted back.
"Oh." Alice sighed.
They hung out with me for a bit longer but eventually they had to go. So I was by myself again. I definitely wanted to get out of the hospital.
"So, Bella. Have you made your decision yet?" Carlisle asked one afternoon.
"Thanks for the offer. I really appreciate it." I said. "So yeah, I'll come live with you guys."
Carlisle smile grew, he was beaming. "Well, I should probably go retrieve Alice. She's dying in the hallway right now. Um.. So is moving in, in 2 days good?"
"Definitely." I said. Something dark is hanging over my head. I felt it the second I decided to live with them. I couldn't help but feel that by living with them I will bring terror, and possibly death to this wonderful family. I could feel it, on the edge of my mind. The reason I should run for the hills. But I cant remember what it is.
"Ahhh." Alice screamed as she ran into the room. "Cool!"
"Why so peppy?" I asked.
"Why so peppy?" she mimicked me. "Because you are coming to live with me!"
"Oh, I thought it was because you heard we get pudding with lunch today. Yum."
"Ha ha. Your so funny." Alice teased.
"I know I'm funny."
"Now. If you don't mind we need to get you some clothes. So Alice wants to take you shopping today." Carlisle said.
"But I don't get released until tomorrow." I said.
"No. But being the head doctor, I pulled a few strings." He said with a wink. "So is that okay with you."
"Sure."
"Okay so I will have Alice come with the clothes you where wearing when you first arrived." Carlisle said as he left.
A few minutes later Alice came charging in the room. "Put these on and let's go." She said excitedly. She handed me my clothes. A white v-neck shirt with a little blood that didn't come out in the wash, and just plain dark blue Capri's.
"Eww. Blood." Alice handed me a sweatshirt. "Put that on. It's cold outside."
"Okay." I threw on the coat. "Who's driving us?"
"Emmett. He is waiting in the parking lot." she said.
"Oh." I saw the front doors to the hospital. A rush of excitement flew through my body. I hadn't been outside in 5 months and 1 week. I don't know anything about Forks Washington, my new home. The one fact I know is that it is cold all year. Good I like the cold. I detest the hot.
The second those doors flew open a rush of cold air hit my face. I was grateful for a jacket. Why? Didn't have a jacket the night I was shot. If I was here it had to have been cold. I tried to remember if it had been cold that night. All I remember was my heart pounding fast, and that it felt like fire was shooting threw my lungs.
We slid into the jeep. It was a really nice jeep. Emmett had the heater on. He had the heater on high.
"You cold Emmett?" I asked.
"Hell yeah. It's freezing outside. It's freaking 37 degrees. How aren't you cold?" he asked. I just shrugged. "Whatever let's go." Emmett started up the car and flew out of the parking lot. We passed trees. Lot's of them. Then we passed a few houses. Then it was just road.
"Where are we going?" I asked from the backseat.
"Port Angeles." Alice answered.
"Fun." I had no idea what Port Angeles was. Alice turned on the radio. Some old Rock song was playing. Alice new every word. Plink, plink. It started to rain. Hard rain. It was pouring. I starred out the window and took in the beauty around me.
The rain would splash back up once it hit the ground. The trees where blurring a little bit because of the rain. The dark gray clouds rolling in the sky. I was lost in a world of beauty.
"I like boobies. Just give me some perky boobies!" Emmett's cell phone sang. Alice raised an eyebrow at him.
"It's Edwards new ring tone. Can you answer it." Emmett said. Alice grabbed the phone.
"Hello Edward. Do you know what Emmett's ring tone is for you?" Alice asked. Then Edward answered. "Ha. Yeah the boobies song." Edward said something. A look of surprise crossed Alice's face. "Your helping? You never help! Why are you helping? Whatever. Bye." then she snapped the phone closed.
"What's going on?" Emmett asked.
"Oh. Edwards helping."
"With?"
"I don't want to explain it again." Alice said.
"You haven't even explained it once."
"I just did."
"Uh." Emmett got a very confused look on his face. Before Emmett could start questioning her again Alice turned up the music really loud. Hmm, something is definitely going on. But what? We drove for 30 minutes. Emmett drives very fast it was terrifying.
"Here we are." Alice said. Emmett pulled up in front of mall. It was a big mall.
"You gals ready to bail out?" Emmett asked.
"Yeah." Alice jumped out of the car and started to run. So I did the same. "Ready to shop?" Alice asked once we had gotten inside. We where both a little damp.
"No."
"Don't be such a sour pus. Come on." so she dragged me into one store and then into another. By the end of the day she had drug me into every store in that mall. About half way through Emmett took our bags to the car, he had to do this several more times.
"Are you sure about all this?" I asked.
"Don't worry about it." Alice said.
So far Alice has bought me 16 shirts, 9 pairs of skinny jeans, 5 regular jeans, 6 pairs of Capri's, 8 tank tops, 8 short shorts,3 sweat pants, 3 pairs of shoes, a bath robe, flip flops, and other essential items. Whats worse is that most of the stuff she bought me was from Nordstrom, an extremely expensive store.
Then it was time to go back to the hospital.
"Hello girls." Carlisle said when we walked in.
"Hey Carlisle." Alice said. I just waved.
"Did you go over the limit I assigned you?" Carlisle asked as Alice handed him a gold card.
"Nah. I went $350 under actually. So be proud." Alice said.
"I'm very proud. Where's Emmett?"
"He had to take the clothes home." Alice said looking at me.
"So then Edward will give you a ride home then?" Carlisle asked.
"Edward's here?" Alice asked.
"Yeah."
"Where is he?" Alice asked throwing excited glances in my direction.
"He will come say hi in a few minutes. Let's leave it at that." He said. Then he left.
"Edwards here?" I asked as I went and sat down on my chair. Alice sat next to me.
"Yup." She mumbled looking exhausted. Wow it was late. 9 o'clock. Dang where did the day go? I closed my eyes and leaned back in my chair. Knock, knock.
"May I come in?" Asked a soft musical voice.
"Yup." Alice said. I sat up.
The door opened, and there in front of me stood the cutest boy that I had ever seen. Well double shit, this boy is... hello, my name is Bella will you marry me? He had bronze hair, silver eyes, and a beautiful bod. He was so hot I could have baked cookies on him. That's how hot he is. We are talking 6'2 lifeguard but in a pale, very pale way.
"Hello Bella. I'm Edward Cullen. It's so great to finally meet you."
