I swear my dad is soooo crazy! Sorry, but I need to rant right now! It is 9:13 pm and EVERYONE is awake in my house; my parents are in there room watching a movie and I was trying to get something from down stairs. I bumped my hip into this table we have and this remote fell and made a loud thud. My dad started screaming and yelling and when I told him a remote fell he yelled at me and sent me to my room...so I'm trying not to make this an angry chapter! Thanks for reading!
1 month later
I looked around my empty room, the ugly dark green walls were bare and the hard wood floor had a couple boxes scattered here and there. I let out a sigh before crouching down and grabbing a lighter box, leaving the rest for the moving crew. I walked down the stairs one last time and out the door, I put the box in the trunk. I shut the white trunk and looked back at the used to be white house. The blue shutters outside all the windows and the charcoal covered roof, the small yard covered in dead leaves and soaking wet grass.
I walked to the passenger side and climbed in, I buckled up before looking back at the house. I saw my dad carrying a dark blue dufflebag and a box. He walked over and threw the bag in the back and gently sat the box in the backseat as well. He buckled up and set his hands on the steering wheel. He looked at the house and then to me. He smiled at me and started up the car, he peeled out of the old gravel driveway. I watched as my home and Forks pasted by me in a blur. I pulled my Ipod out and just listened to the songs as we traveled to Chicago. I laid my head against the cool glass and watched as everything blurred by.
Next day
My dad and I woke up the next morning early and started to move all the boxes into the house. We just sat all the boxes in the living room and near the door way, the movers moved all the heavy furniture. Halfway through the process my dad got a call from the police station saying they needed him for about two hours so he could fill out some forms. He kissed me on the head and told the movers to put my bed in my room and to come back tomorrow.
I closed the door behind the movers and went into the living room, with a loud sigh I landed on my butt on the maroon colored couch. I opened my book Twilight and read the first seven pages before throwing it over my shoulder and muttering "so stupid under my breath"
I got up and tried walking over the boxes to the kitchen, which failed. I tripped over a small light brown box, spilling all the contents out of it. I sat on my knees and tried shoving it all into the small box. I saw a big heading on an old crinkled yellow paper. I held it father from my face and saw BIRTH CERTIFICATE written in the standard cursive. I skimmed down and saw my full birth name Isabella Marie Dwyer, furrowing my brows I looked under it and saw a women named Elizabeth Kathleen Dwyer under Mother and Edward Sr Michael Dwyer under father. My eyes widened, I put the Birth Certificate next to me and dug into the box. I found a large and thick stack of Adoption papers with Charlie Dale Swan and Renne Kathrine Swan for the Adopting parents. I saw old news papers about Elizabeth and Edward Sr, it seemed Edward Sr was a Senator and had married Elizabeth a couple days before, the artical was from 1996. Elizabeth came from a rich family and she and Edward had met at a Gala and fell in love.
I picked up another artical and Elizabeth seemed to dissapear from the socialite scene between late 1997 to mid 1998 and she was suddenly back, it seemed to be a forgotten topic soon after and no one questioned it. I kept everything I had pulled out and went to the computer. I pulled up there wiki page and read all the stuff I already knew. I clicked on Elizabeth's Personal Life section and saw that she had one kid, named Edward Anthony Dwyer. He was only a couple months younger than me. I sat back in my chair shocked. I clicked on a recent picture of Elizabeth with Edward and Edward Sr. I studied all of their looks before getting up.
I left my room and went into our bathroom. I looked into the mirror and started comparing myself to Elizabeth, Edward and Edward Sr. I had never really looked like Rene or Charlie, but they always said I looked like my grandmother. I never really cared if I looked like them or not, but now looking I saw I had brown hair like my father yet it had bronze undertones like Edward and his mother. I also had Emerald green eyes, but Rene had dull green eyes. I was pale, but most people in my family were pale. I heard a car, I ran out of the bathroom and to my room. I hid everything I found under my bed and closed my computer. I heard Charlie call for me.
I walked down the stairs and saw he had Chinese food with him. I avoided looking at him and walked to the dining room. We sat down and started to eat, I looked up at him every now and then. I finally gained enough courage, I let out a loud cough which made him look at me. He quirked his brow up and asked if I was okay.
"I was trying to go to my room without tripping all over the boxes, but being me I tripped over a small one. I picked everything up, but I saw my birth certificate, why weren't your's and mom's name on it." I said putting my white plastic fork down. He put his down as well before covering his face with his hands. He looked up a minute later and let out a sad sigh.
"Rene and I had been married for two years and she wasn't getting pregnant, we went to the doctor and he finally told us that it would be impossible to have kids. It was 1998 and we talked about for a few months and we agreed to look at adopting a baby. We went to the best Orphanage and Rene insisted on looking at baby girls. We looked at around six and we finally got to you. You were only a few weeks old, but Rene fell in love with you; you had the pretties green eyes and a head full of brown hair. After talking we decided that we were going to adopt you, after about month the court finally signed you over to us. We got your original birth certificate and we saw Elizabeth Masen and Edward Masen names on it and we were shocked. We were going to tell you, but Rene decided it was best that we just keep it a secret. We never thought you would find out." He said before looking away, I felt my nostrils flare and my mouth clench.
I pushed the chair back and grabbed my black coat before walking out the door. The cold wind hit me and I put up my hood. I walked until I was in the city, the voices never ended. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket before I finally just shut it off. I was crossing the street when me and some else slammed right into each other. We both fell back on the black road. We both let out loud Ow's. I sat up, my hood pushed down more into my face. I saw the person was a guy around my age maybe 15. He was rubbing his head gently. I ripped my hood off and started yelling.
"Watch where the hell your going.!" I said looking into his light brown eyes. His eyes widen before he smiled.
"I don't see anything funny about this you big Ofa!" I said again. I heard foot steps running and looked behind him I saw two guys coming over to the guy who knocked into me. They pulled him up and started laughing at him.
"Geez Em, we told you to get a girl; not run one over!" The tall blond one said, laughing. The bronze haired boy laughed along with him.
"Don't laugh at me!" He said putting the Bronze one in a playful head lock. I threw my hands in the air.
"Sure, I don't need help getting up. Thanks for the offer though!" I said in a sarcastic tone. I got up and brushed myself off.
I saw the blond guy looking at me with his head tilted to the side slightly. He turned to his two friends, Em and Eddie.
"Hey Edward, this chick could pass for your sister." He said. I heard the name Edward and my eyes widen. The Em guy let Edward go. Edward looked me with a shocked expression.
"Wow, you could? You look a lot like my mother?" He said in a questioning tone. I quickly walked past them when I heard a car let out a honk.
Edward called after me," What's your name?"
I turned around while walking;
"It's Isabella." I said, praying he would tell his mom about me.
Fun fact, I actually have Emerald green eyes! I hope you guys like it, also NONE of them are going to fall in love anytime soon. Their 14 and 15, but Jasper is with Alice and Edward is with Rosalie. They will all become friends and go to each others high school! Also Edward does tell his mom about his encounter with Isabella. That's enough spoilers for now, have a great day or night!
