Chapter Two: Meeting Bella and the Cullen's
There she stood, long Mahogany hair that fell in loose curls, her eyes a magnificent shade of cobalt blue, slightly pouted lips, a small button nose that was slightly pointed, pale creamy skin that right now had a light blush to it as she noticed them staring at her, she smiled slightly and walked forward, she stood about five foot nothing, she was tiny, she hadn't grown in height much but she really grew up, she now had curves she didn't have the last time they saw her, she had boobs, which Reid was dying to compliment, an ass that was just perfect, not too big and not too small, she was wearing a pair of black skinny jeans, a kings of Leon band shirt that stopped just at the waist band of her jeans, she was wearing a leather jacket and a pair of high top heals, she was beautiful.
"Tyler" she said as she raced into the arms of her brother, they held onto each other tightly, she was lightly sobbing into his chest, he was blinking trying to keep the tears from coming, and she smiled into his chest and pulled back with a small laugh
"You're finally taller than me" she said softly, he chuckled and nodded as he wiped his eyes,
"Yeah, you don't seem to have grown, you actually may have shrinked" he said, she pouted and punched his shoulder,
"Yeah and now I'm never going to get any taller, I'm nearly 18, you guys are luck you keep growing till you turn twenty one" she said, he laughed and turned her to the others, she looked at them, first she noticed
"Chris, wow you really filled out, I mean the last time I saw you, you were so skinny, I gotta say you look good" she told him, he laughed and pulled her into his arms,
"Look who's talking and you know you're the only one who calls me Chris, my parents have relented and started to call me Pogue" he told her as he pulled back, she shrugged
"I don't like the nick name, I know you got it from the Pogues and all but did you know they took the name from the Irish saying Pogue Mahone which means kiss my ass, Pogue means Kiss" she told him, Reid laughed and pulled her from the older son,
"So how about it Bella, let me be your first Pogue" he asked, she laughed and hugged him
"Ah but then I would have had Sniders seconds and I really don't want to go anywhere she has been" she told him, he pouted and handed her the flowers, she smiled and pressed a kiss to his cheek
"Thank you Reid" she said, he smiled at her and she turned to the last son, they could see that she was nervous, she stepped forward
"Hello Caleb" she said softly, he nodded stiffly and looked away
"Isabella" he grunted, the guys saw her shoulders slump for a minute before she pulled on a fake smile, and it didn't reach her eyes.
"I'm so glad to be home, you don't know how hard it is to live with Vampires, they never sleep and I always wake up to see one of them looking at me, it was weird, though they told me it was just to make sure I didn't use any of my powers in my sleep, apparently I do it when I'm upset or stressed" she said rolling her eyes, Tyler threw his arm around her shoulder, and hugged her into his side.
"Well don't worry about it, now you live in a house where everyone sleeps" he told her, she smiled up at her brother and hugged him tightly
"I've missed you so much" she told him in a whisper, Caleb sighed and they all turned to him
"I'm going to go see Sarah, she text and she's at Nicky's" he said as he pulled on his jacket, Bella looked down and up at the door when a blonde walked out
"Bell's we're heading, you want to come in and say goodbye" he said, she smiled and headed towards them and took his hand
"Whats wrong with you" Pogue asked his friend, Caleb shrugged
"She can't expect to come back and be welcomed with open arms, I mean she left" he said with a hiss
"She was sent away Caleb, she didn't have a choice, don't take it out on her" Pogue stated as he grabbed his friends arm, which he was promptly shrugged off.
"I don't care, she left and she is not coming in and turning everything on its head" he said as he walked away.
He walked into the kitchen to get out to the front of the house, he stopped short when he saw Bella being held by a big burly guy, he wasn't sure which one he was but Bella seemed comfortable in his arms, with a huff he stormed past the group and left.
Bella sighed as she saw Caleb leave and smiled up at Emmett who had his dimpled grin on full force, he tightened his hold on her
"You gonna be ok Bells, if you ever need me or any of us just call, we'll be here as soon as we can" he told her, she smiled beamingly up at him and looked at the others who all wore varying expressions of sorrow, she nodded
"I know and I will call you as much as possible, you are my other family please don't think I would ever forget any of you" she said, Rosalie's eyes glistened with venom and pulled her gently into her arms
"Please call me every morning or night, either would be great, I'll miss you so much" she told her, she nodded and pulled back
"I promise" she said with a teary smile, Rosalie wiped her tears from her cheeks, standing back and letting Jasper forward, with a smile he pulled her into his arms,
"Remember everything I thought you, remember that if anyone tries anything hit them where it hurts" he told her in his southern twang, Bella nodded with a laugh
"I will and if they don't get it, I'll call you" she promised, he nodded with a smile pressing a kiss on her head.
"That a girl" he grinned, Alice took her then, she nearly squeeze the life out of her before pulling back, the two girls smiled tearily at the other
"I have all your clothes put away, your shoe's too oh and your make up, I will send more stuff to you whenever I see something for you, your jewellery are in your closet and all your books are in the book case, I'll call and text you do the same, oh and I made an appointment at the salon for you to get your nails and your hair done" she said in one breath, she grinned and nodded.
"It's going to be weird not having you there, you were the one person I couldn't read your thoughts, no more quite time" Edward said as he held the girl he thought of like a sister, she grinned up at him
"Just do what we practiced, and then you will be fine" she told him, he smiled and nodded with a grin, his gold eyes sparkling
"Hey now Bella step back or I would think you are trying to steal my mate" Tanya teased, Bella snapped her finger
"Darn, you got me, oh Edward how we can never be together" Bella laughed, Gerard and Emilia smiled at how easily their daughter got on with the vampires, they saw her mood change when she turned to Carlisle and Esme
"I'm going to miss you, I'm so fortunate to have two sets of parents, I love you both" she said as she hugged the both of them, Carlisle smiled as Esme sniffed
"Just remember to call us daily and don't get into much trouble, we'll be back for your birthday in two weeks" he told her, she smiled and wiped her eyes.
"I promise" she whispered, after another hug they all left, Bella stood at the door waving them away, her parents on each side of her, she was home, a place she only realised how much she missed, she turned into her father's chest and let him guide her into the back yard where they guys minus Caleb were, she smiled up at her father before going over and joining her brother and his friends.
"We're thinking about going to Nicky's, you want to go" Tyler asked, she smiled and nodded
"Just let me go change, I've been wearing these for two days straight and let's just say it's getting a little ripe" she said, Reid leaned in and took a whiff
"Your right, not smelling great there" he told her, she glared at him and pushed him before turning and going inside, she was going to have a quick shower, she could use to do her hair and dry herself, so it wouldn't take too long.
Staring at herself in the mirror she sighed, smoothing down her dress she would have to thank Alice, she always had the best clothes out there; Alice loved to shop so she would update her wardrobe nearly every month, looking at her dress she smiled.
It was a mid-thigh beige plaid dress with a black bolero, she had on a pair of high Mary Janes, her hair was falling in perfect curls, she didn't wear any make up, she was satisfied with how she looked so she quickly went down the stairs.
"Wow, Bells you look amazing" Reid said as he whistled, she blushed and looked down, he wrapped an arm around her shoulders
"You will be my date for this evening, don't worry I won't try to kiss you, but I really want the best looking girl on my arm tonight" he said, she smiled up at him and nodded, she said goodbye to her parents and the rest of the parents and let him lead her out to the hummer with Pogue and Tyler following her, Pogue whistled
"Is that yours" he asked, pointing towards a maroon Aston Martin AM 310 Vanquish, she smiled at him and nodded
"Edwards was getting a new one last week, he got me one, said it was an early birthday present" she told them,
"It's hot, shit I am so jealous of you right now, they're not even available in the US yet" he said, she smiled big and shrugged
"Edward would do anything for me, as a matter of fact they all would, Rose bought me about 6 cars, she will bring them up for my birthday, apparently she convinced daddy to build me a garage for my cars" she said as she got in the back of the hummer with Reid, Pogue turned around to look at her.
"What other cars have you got" he asked, she smiled
" A 2013 Porsche Cayenne S Diesel, A 2013 Porsche Boxster, A fully restored with all the original parts 67 Impala, A Mazda CX-5 Crossover SUV 2013, A 2013 Ram 3500 Pickup Truck and A 2013 Lincoln MKZ" she said, Pogue gaped at the younger girl, she smiled and shrugged
"I really need to sit down and talk to you, you're a motor freak right, you know cars" he said she smiled and nodded
"And bikes, Jasper as an affinity for bikes and well he likes to indulge me too" she said, he shook his head in awe,
"How many bikes have you got" he asked, she held up 8 fingers, he really couldn't believe it
"Oh you really done it now, damn we've lost her Ty, Pogue is going to steal her and keep her all to himself" Reid laughed, Bella giggled when Tyler punched Pogue on the arm, Pogue pushed him and turned back to her
"What bikes have you got" he asked, she sighed
" A 2013-ducati-1199-panigale, A 2013 Ducati Diavel Carbon, A DUCATI SUPERSPORT evo 2013, A 2013 Ducati Monster 796 White, A 2013-ducati-hyperstrada-04, A 2012 Harley-Davidson XL1200C Sportster 1200, A , Harley Davidson Cruiser and A Harley Davidson V Rod" she said, it looked like Pogue was off in a world of his own, he also looked like he was drooling, Bella giggled when Tyler took a hard left and parked, she smiled when Tyler opened the door and helped her out.
"Welcome to Nicky's" Reid said as he stole her from her brother, but she grabbed her brother's hand and held onto him tightly as she was pulled into the bar, she squinted her eyes trying to get acquainted with the light difference, she smiled as she took in the scene.
"There's Caleb" Reid said as he tried to move towards him, but Bella stopped, he looked at her with a frown
"You guys go on over there, I'm gonna go order something and then sit over there" she said, Reid shook his head
"Come on Bells, we always sit over here" Tyler said, she smiled softly
"Caleb doesn't seem to like me, I really don't want to cause any trouble for him" she said in a quiet voice, Pogue wrapped an arm around her shoulder, and waved at someone
"Come sit with me and Kate" he told her, she smiled and nodded and let him lead her over to where his girlfriend sat.
"Kate, Babe this is Bella Simms, Tyler's twin sister, Bells this is my beautiful girlfriend Kate Tunney" he introduced, Bella smiled at the older girl
"It's nice to meet the one who stole our Chris's heart" she said, Kate smiled
"Chris?" she asked, Bella smiled
"I refuse to call him that nickname" she told her, Kate nodded with a laugh
"I know but I was his friend before we started to date so I was used to calling him Pogue" she said, Bella laughed
"He'll be sorry when we're older, he'll never be able to get rid of it" she said, Pogue smiled, these were two of the most important women in his life, he was so glad they were getting on.
Caleb was watching from beside his girlfriend who he right now was annoyed with, she never stopped whining since he arrived, Bella looked so beautiful, she laughed with Kate, he heard Sarah stand up
"I gotta go, my lift is about to leave" she told him, he nodded and went to kiss her but she turned her head and he was met with her cheek, he sighed as he watched her leave, he saw Aaron Abbot leaving seconds after her so he followed, only to get the proof he needed, Sarah was cheating on him with his nemesis Abbot, he turned around and went over to the booth where everyone else was sitting, he sat across from Bella
"I'm going to finish with Sarah tomorrow" he said, Reid looked at his friend and sighed
"You caught her with him, didn't you" he asked, Caleb nodded with sigh, Bella placed her hand on his, he looked up at her sharply
"I'm sorry Caleb" she said softly, he pulled his hand back harshly and stood up so he was towering over her, she flinched at the glint in his eyes
"Sorry, you really don't get to come back here and ruin everything and think that by saying sorry that everything is going to be ok, I've read all the books, I know what having a daughter would have done, it would have stopped the addiction, if you were here my dad wouldn't be dead, if you were here we wouldn't have had to deal with Chase, so no you don't get to come back here and apologise and hope everything will be fine, you know what just fuck off, go back to Washington, back with the Cullen's maybe then I'll be able to be happy again" he growled, his eyes fading to black,
Bella took it, she took it and looked down, it was like a car crash for the others they couldn't stop watching and couldn't speak up, Caleb took a sigh and sat, as soon as he did Bella stood up, she looked at him with tears in her eyes
"I'm sorry Caleb, I'm sorry that by me being taken from my family and placed with strangers ruined your life, I'm sorry that your mother had me sent away, I'm so sorry I wasn't here so your father could use without consequence, I am sorry that I wasn't here so Chase could have gone after me, I'm sorry that you hate me so much, I am really sorry that I am your soul mate and that you can't bear to look at me, don't worry though, I will keep my distance, I will make sure to stay away so you can be happy" she said in a whisper before rushing out of the bar, Tyler got up to follow her as did Reid, that left Caleb with Pogue and Kate.
"Dude" Pogue said as he shook his head, Caleb sighed and looked down, his guilt didn't go down well, he couldn't believe he was being bitter over something his mother caused, his mother had ruined Bella's life, was the reason his father was dead and the reason he was bitter, he shook his head
"Caleb, I get your angry, I mean you found out your girlfriend was cheating, Pogue told me of the prophecy, you and Bella are meant to be together, you are destined to be together, I know it's scary but she isn't the one you need to take it out on, she is going through the same thing, she more than likely has it worse" Kate told him, he sighed and nodded, Pogue continued
"But just that you two are meant to be together Caleb doesn't mean she will wait around forever, she might get fed up of you using her as a verbal punching bag, she might just decide that you hurt her too much for you two to be together" he told him before he stood up and helped Kate up, they left the eldest son sit and wallow in his own misery.
Reid and Tyler arrived back at the Simms estate, they rushed inside and were met with Tyler's parents, who were sitting on the couch watching an old movie, Gerard turned off the TV, he sighed
"Bella came back here in tears not ten minutes ago, could you please tell us why" he asked, Tyler looked at his parents and shook his head, but Reid wasn't going to let Caleb get away with it
"Caleb chewed her out, blamed her for his father's death and told her to go back to the Cullen's" he said, just giving them the basics, Emilia sighed and nodded
"Alright, you guys go on up to bed, you three have school in the morning" she told them, they nodded and ran upstairs, they went to Bella's room and knocked on the door
"Come in" a soft rasping voice answered, they opened the door and were met with Bella curled up on her bed, she was pale, they could see her back spasiming, causing her to jerk suddenly
"Bella" Tyler whispered as he walked over to his sister's bed, she tried to smile but she grimaced in pain, Reid cursed
"Alright that ass really needs to fucking come here and make this right" he said, he made his way to the door,
"No Reid, it's not his fault ok, please, I'll have a good sleep, take some major pain killers in the morning and everything will be fine" she told him, he sighed and closed his eyes
"Bella it won't be ok, you can't possibly stick up for him after tonight, he hurt you" he stated as he sat on the opposite side of which Tyler sat, she shook her head.
"Reid I know and you know that it wasn't my fault I was sent away, Caleb lost more than any of us and if he needs someone to blame, then he can blame me" she said softly, her eyes dropping, the guys looked up at the door and saw Gerard, who's eyes were black, he motioned them to leave the room, once they did then he closed the door.
"She'll sleep without any pain, boys as much as I would love to kill Caleb, Bella is right, he just needs to get his head around it, it might take some time and Bella may be in some pain until he comes to term with it" he told them, Tyler sighed
"But Dad, I don't think I could handle seeing her in pain" Tyler said, Gerard nodded
"I know Ty, I have a pain remedy passed down from your grandfather, I will make it tonight and give it to her in the morning at breakfast, she will be fine, just a little spacy at times, it's not a long term solution but it will do for a while" he told them, before telling them to go to bed.
Caleb lay on his bed, his mind just wouldn't turn off, he wasn't sure what kept it from sleeping but it just wouldn't stop, he knew it had something to do with Bella but he wasn't sure what, turning over he closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep.
