A/N heyy Guys I am Brenna! I started writing this as just something for fun and then I decided it sounded like a Bella and Edward story so I switched the names and descriptions and then the rest of the story to fit them I really hop you like it :)
BELLA POV
My new room was small. It fit my desk dresser and bed but that was it. And they didn't fit very well. I took my box and put it on the bed Edward placed the box in his hands and placed it next to mine. He turned and walked around the room (it didn't take very long) and came and stood next to me. I walked over to one of the boxes and opened it up sitting on top was the charcoal drawing of me and my mom. I brushed my fingers over the beautiful lines and shapes tracing the lines of my mothers face. I walked over my dresser and placed it in my top drawer. When I turned around he was standing there
"What was that," he asked politely. He reached his arm around me and pulled me to the side then opened the drawer and to the drawing out. He walked over to the bed and sat down next to it then patted the ground next to him. I sat next to him and leaned against the bed he smelled as good as he looked.
"Is this your mom?" he looked over at me and smiled no one told him.
"yeah that's my mom," I sighed I grabbed my knees and pulled them close to me.
"How old were you?"
"Seven," I looked at the picture again, "my dad was really into art. He loved it."
"How old were you when they passed away?"
"Thirteen, how did you know? That they passed away I mean," I was shocked that I could talk to him so easily. I hated to talk about my parents to even with some of my closest friends back home. Yet when I talked to him, I felt as if I could tell him anything. It felt right.
"I could tell by the look in your eyes... you're broken. I was eight when my dad died, cancer." He said so easily as if we were talking about the weather and not our parents deaths "Is she your sister?" It took me a minute before I realized that he was talking about Anna.
"Nope. Aunt." I laughed "She is more like a little sister though. She tends to act a little immature,"
I thought back to the reason we moved here, it was quite ridiculous, me sitting here laughing with a boy I had just met because my aunt broke up with her boyfriend. Thinking this just made me laugh harder, though nothing was funny.
"You know why we moved here?" Edward shook his head 'no'.
"She broke up with her boyfriend, and now here I am just because she needed to get away from him," I was laughing to the point of tears and still nothing about the situation was funny. Suddenly he pulled his arms around my shoulders then tears from laughing turned into tears of sorrow.
"They -they ne-nev-never did anything wrong they just they're just gone!" I cried and buried my face in his chest. He wrapped his strong arms around me and rested his chin on my head.
He was quiet for awhile before he spoke very softly, "My mom died when I was three, so I never really knew her, and my father died when I was eight but her was in the Military so her wasn't around often. My entire life I had thought that he never loved me as much as his brother Carlisle did," I lifted my head and looked up at him as he spoke softly in my ear, " Carlisle and his wife rose me and my cousins Emmett and Alice. But the night my father died he told me one thing I will never forget."
Edward paused thinking for a moment before saying "I love you more than you realize, and so does your mother, make us proud," I felt his hand take my chin, he looked into my eyes and smiled and said in a low voice, "everything will be ok."
"Thank you," I whispered barley audible.
Just then his cell phone started ringing.
"hello?... Oh hey Rose… yeah I will be there in about 20 minutes… uh huh … well tell him that I am bringing someone…. no… yeah 20 minutes… alright rose, bye," Edward hung up his phone, looked over at me and said, "Wanna meet some of my friends? They are all meeting for dinner at the local Pizza joint,"
"I don't know I mean I should eat with Anna," I really didn't want to say it but I had to. I would feel bad just to leave her here by herself.
"She can come to if you want," He seemed a little less happy then before but still happy all the same. "Come on let's go ask her,"
He got up and offered me a hand to help me up. When he took my hand he pulled me up and close to him. I looked up at his face, blushed, and took a step back
"Let's go,"
Anna was shuffling around the living room when we came down. She had been crying. I hoped Edward had not noticed. When I looked up at him I could tell he noticed.
"Hey Anna um Edward invited us to dinner with him and some of his friends at the pizza place in town," I walked over to where she was standing and helped her reach the painting she was trying to straighten.
"Oh," there was shock on her face "oh well I have a lot to do still… you two go,"
I could tell by her face she was relieved to have the house to herself again so she could cry and unpack and wallow in self pity.
"Ok well we will be in town I won't keep her out too late," Edward was at my side he looked happy like he did when he first came up with the plan.
"All right then I'll see you later Anna," I looked at her waiting for her to change her mind… she didn't and Edward lead me out the door.
Edward lead me out to his car a shiny silver Volvo named Lucy. When he told me he laughed he said it was a long story. His one friend tends to name inanimate objects and that is how his car got its name. The whole ride to the pizza place he talked I knew it was because he was nervous… I could tell. He told me about his cousin's dog Kitty, how he goes to church every Sunday, and loved to play soccer. I laughed and nodded and understood. I told him about my old dog Leah, who died right after my parents how I used to go to church every Sunday, and I loved soccer too but I wasn't very good because I was so clumsy.
"So we are pretty alike," He laughed after I told him about soccer "why did you stop going to church?" he asked but I could tell if I didn't want to answer he wouldn't mind.
"My parents' funeral was held in the church and after that I never went back it just hurt too much. I was really close to them I don't have any brothers or sisters so I grew up with them. They were my best friends I barely fought with them. I miss them a lot,"
It was the most I said to him all night. He just looked at me and sighed.
"I am so sorry I didn't mean… I am so sorry,"
He looked really upset he looked at me with pleading eyes waiting for me to forgive him.
"Don't worry about it; it is getting easier to talk about it," I said "keep your eyes on the road." I giggled when he still seemed a little leery about my courage.
Soon we got to the pizza place. When we walked in the restaurant I almost got knocked out by the smell of garlic. There were lots of scattered booths and a please seat yourself sign was standing by the door. Edward looked around the room and then grabbed my hand and said "they're sitting over there," he pointed with his other hand to a booth with 4 other teenagers.
When we got to the booth I saw that there were 2 girls and 2 guys sitting there. One of the girls was drawing a picture on her napkin with the crayons they give to the little kids. She was wearing a sundress and had short black hair. She was beautiful. The boy she was sitting next to her was blonde and very good looking although nothing close to Edward; he was wearing a striped polo and jeans. The other girl was sitting there talking to one of the boys she was knock dead gorgeous with long blonde hair and a perfect face. The other boy sitting next to her was HUGE he was wearing a Seahawks t-shirt and jeans you could just barley see his dark hair under his baseball cap.
"Hey guys" Edward slid in next to the blonde guy it was one of those big round booths I sat next to him.
"This is Bella," he said gesturing towards me.
"I'm Alice!" The girl in the sundress said "it's very nice to meet you," She said reaching a hand over to shake my hand she had a huge smile on her face.
"its nice to meet you too," I said she seemed really nice I could tell she was someone I wouldn't mind hanging out with.
"I am Rosalie," said the blonde hair "and this is Emmett," She smiled at the big dark haired guy who was stuffing his face with bread.
"Hey Bella," he mumbled and offered his buttery hand, I shook it and then wiped my hand on the napkin sitting in front of me.
"I have to go to the bathroom" announced Alice, she grabbed Rosalie's wrist and stood up and pulled me out of my seat. "Let's go".
When we got to the bathroom the interrogation started
"So you know that Edward totally likes you right?" April said to me "He never acts that way around girls like ever. But I think he like you a lot this is so cool so how long have you lived here? How do you know Edward anyway? You two would make a great couple and--"
"Alice chill" Rosalie said saving me
"Ummm well I just moved here today and I live next to Edward now," I replied looking down at my shoes when had I become shy? I was never shy before when I talked about boys I liked. When I looked up they were staring at me "What?"
"We are neighbors!" Alice screamed
I was confused.
"Wait what?" I said.
"I am Edwards cousin he lives with us he is practically my brother!" Alice rushed, "I am so excited!" She started to jump up and down grabbing my hands and giggled like a maniac.
"Good luck," was all that Rosalie said. Alice stopped jumping and a look of focus washed over her face.
"Ok wait first thing is first, how do you feel about Edward?" Her and Rosalie looked at me at the same time with serious expressions.
"I don't know I just met him," I said not so convincingly.
"You Like him!" they both yelled at the same time.
This would be interesting.
Edward POV
The minute the ladies room door closed the guys pounced.
"Who is she?"
"How did you meet her?"
"You've never taken a girl out before."
"Yeah I started to think you might be gay," that was Emmett of course my cousin/ brother.
"Guys," I said, "I'm not gay, and she just moved into Mrs. Swan's house, so I helped her move in," Emmett raised his eyebrows suggestively, "Not like that Pervert."
"Wait so this girl is our new neighbor?" Emmett asked, "Bout time somebody moved in that house."
"So do you like her?" Jasper asked seriously.
"Yeah I think I do," I said as I hear loud laughing in the girls bathroom
