Chapter Two

I own nothing but Mia-i don't own twilight all i own is Mia

As the weeks went on I had settled in with Nellie very well, she was like the mother I had never had. She never questioned were I had came from, and what I was really doing that night on the road. She told me 'Your business is your own Mia-you'll tell me when you want to'.

Nellie owned a dinner right below the apartment she owned, and were I have been working for the past few weeks. I had come accustom to the small town they had called Forks, very well. The people were very welcoming of me and very kind, some of the mothers had offered to help them watch there kids for extra money, and I took them on there offer many times. I had never been welcomed so much before in my entire life.

I was happy.

"Mia Luv!" Came Nellie's voice from the dinner downstairs.

I gave a sigh "I'll be down in a minute Nellie"

I gave a look through the mirror and studied myself, I had sliver curly hair that came to my shoulders, it wasn't like Hermione Granger crazy curls. No they were individual curls sleek and known frizzy. I had pale skin, not like Nellie she had a sickly pale to her. I had a bright glow to mine pale, and smooth, like porcelain. My eyes were bright sapphire, my lips full and cherry red. My figure was curvaceous, not fat not skinny.

Healthy.

I threw on some jeans and a baggy white off shoulder sweater, the sleeves came past my fingers.

I came down the dinner stairs with light steps, I snuck behind Nellie who was taking an order.

"Boo" I said pressing my fingers into her side

She let out a shriek and grabbed her hand to her chest, I doubled over in laughter.

"Mia!" she shrieked turning around to face me "Luv you just took five years off my life" she said trying to catch her breath.

"Aw come on Nellie don't be so dramatic now" I teased hopping on the counter

She swatted me with her notepad "I'll stop being dramatic when you stop scaring me closer to my death " She said walking over to the coffee maker behind the register

"Ill stop when its not funny anymore" I said crossing my legs on the counter

She clicked her tongue at me and handed me a cup of steaming coffee.

"Luv do you ever take those rings off" She said with a laugh "there is so many-and those bracelets"

I looked down at my fingers, on everyone of my fingers there was ring except for the pinkies I could never find pinkie rings. Some were sliver, some were plastic, some even turned my finger green, but I didn't care I loved the gaudiness of it. The bracelets there had to be at least twenty on my left hand, all of them I found in my foster homes that I had stayed in, and some I had 'borrowed'.

I never took them off, there would be no Mia with out them

"Says to the women that always wears the bottle cap belt" I said eyeing the brown bottle cap belt, that she wore with ever outfit that she wore.

She gasped at me "I'd have you know this was given to me by a dear friend of mine that I liked to call-"

I rolled my eyes "Yes Yes Keith Richards I know" I said waving my hand.

For the first week I had stayed at Nellie's I had noticed that every day she wore that bottle cap belt. I finally had the urge enough to ask her were she had come across it, assuming that she had made it herself. She told me a story that she had meant Keith Richards when she was about my age, his car had broken down and he had nowhere to go or stay. So he had stayed at her house for about a week, and have given her the belt as I thank you.

It was hard to believe.

"You'll believe me one day" she said waving her hand at me

I rolled my eyes at her "When I see that drunken man standing in front me" I muttered over my coffee

"What was that" She turned around sharply

I gave her a pouty smile "LOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOU!" I squealed

She rolled her eyes at me "Only Cause I have too" she said with a smirk

I let out a gasp and fell out the counter dramatically grabbing my chest "OH you wound me" I covered my face with my hands, crying out fake tears

"Oh dear god!" I faked sobbed throwing myself from the ground and collapsing on a table knocking into a laughing customer. "I thought we had something special!" I shrieked

"All those nights nestled by the TV, Drinking coco" Collapsing onto the floor on my knees, holding my hands in a mock prayer. "HAS THAT MENT NOTHING TO YOU!" I sobbed falling on my back rolling on the ground

"TELL ME YOU LOVE ME!" I faked sobbed "TELL ME SOMETHING!" I sobbed with a hand over my eyes.

I heard her let out a laugh "You have the day off" she said simply

I shot up and grabbed my bag from behind the counter "Be back Later" I called back and I was out the door, leaving behind a diner full of laughing customers.

The town of Forks was not an overly populated town; it had one elementary school, middle school, and High school. It was a town that everyone new everyone. Small towns were usually known for gossip, and me being the new girl in town.

I was fresh meat.

There were numerous stories spread about me, how I was found by Nellie in her storage room eating a bag of potato chips, or that I was he long lost daughter, or w as some troubled teen girl that was left on Nellie's door step to take care of. All of these stories entertained me to know end. It showed how snobbish and self-centered people can be even adults and you would expect gossip from teens.

I walked around town for a bit till I got to the High school, home of the Spartans.

The school was made of brown brick it was old looked depressing since the consist clouds that covered this small town.

At my age I should be in High School, but I had to stay hidden from the Social workers that were probably looking for me. I told Nellie that I was Nineteen that I had already graduated. But I still went to school, well not for learning or anything-sometimes during the weeks I would use the empty art studio to paint.

Since I made friends with Miss Patty the schools art teacher and the town's gossip, she let me got in anytime I wanted.

I headed into the schools parking lot like I usually do until schools lets out, I passed the old rusted cars. Probably because of all the rain here, they all looked so depressing it matched the school. I guess it added to the atmosphere of the town, since it rained half the time here.

I picked my favorite spot on the wide field that was at the edge of the cement parking lot, I grabbed my sketch book and charcoal and rolled up my sleeves.

And went to work.

I was halfway through my picture of Nellie when the school bell rang that made me jump two feet off the ground. I broke out in a fit of giggles, but quickly stopped when the kids came pouring out of the school, didn't want them thinking I was crazy.

I ignored the whispers and stares I was getting from the kids, I was the talk of the adults in town the kids weren't any different. Known of them had the balls enough to go up to me and say anything. Maybe there parents told them to steer clear away from me, they probably believed the story that I was a troubled child and I had to stay with Nellie.

I was almost done with part of Nellie's noise when I felt a tap on my shoulder and I let out a loud shriek and my sketch book went flying as did my charcoal.

"I'm so sorry" came a smooth like meek voice

I looked up to see a girl, she was petite her eyes were topaz her dark brown hair was pixie like spiked out on all of the edges. Her skin was like marble perfect pale; her eyes had dark circles under them like she hadn't slept in a number of days.

She was inhumanly beautiful

She had a wide smile on her face her eyes held amusement "I apologize for scaring you-but I tried to get your attention for a few minutes"

I gave a laugh as I picked up my sketch book and charcoal. "It's alright-I'm always in my own world when I draw" I said shoving my materials in my bag "A bomb could go off and I wouldn't notice" I said standing up

"So what is that you needed" I said throwing my bag over my shoulder

She smiled at me with her ultraviolet white smile "Just here to say hello to the new girl in town"

I laughed "Wow" I said shuffling my feet on the ground

"What?" came her musical laughter to my ears

I shook my head "Nothing" I began: "you're just the first kid here in town that has come up to me and say hello" I said with a disbelieving laugh

"I'm sure that's not true" she said

"No its is" I began "I've been the talk of the town-no the gossip of the town"

She gave a laugh "So your not a troubled girl that was sent to Nellie"

I gave a laugh "Or found in the storage room eating potato chips"

She burst into a fit of giggles, it sounded like wind chimes.

"That one was my favorite" I said crossing my arms over my chest.

"Aren't you cold?" the question came out of nowhere

I furrowed my brow at her, and gave her a look as if 'what' her eyes went to my feet which were bare.

I always had a habit of not wearing shoes, I never liked wearing them unless I really had too. I just like to feel the earth under my feet.

"No I just don't like to were shoes" I began "I love to feel the dirt under my feet and the grass between my toes" I answered with all honesty.

A bright smile took over her whole face, looked like something clicked in her head. Suddenly her head jerked away from my face and she looked behind her as if someone had called her name.

I looked behind her to see a sliver Volvo, the nicest car that I have ever scene in this town. The occupant didn't get out of the car, but the passenger side flew open all I saw was a pale marble arm flick the door open. Pale marble skin just like this pixie girl standing in front of me.

"Well I hope will get to talk more in the future Mia" She said with a secretive smile and headed into the girl.

"Wait-?" I began she turned around her pixie like hair swishing around in the wind, like in an herbal essence commercial.

"My name is Alice Cullen" then she was gone

I was too shocked by her presence and appearance that I didn't realize later that I never told her my name.
