A/N:Its 2004 because I wanted Edward in this story to start the school year beginning of he's jr. year. Actual time was Jan. 17 2005 when Bella moved that when in her jr. year but after Christmas. So I little off but sorry it's how I wanted for Edward to start of in the beginning of the year in Forks on the 3rd week of Aug. I have no clue how Forks high school works as every school system is different so I'll make it work like my school did just for my story. The story is going by the book not the film.
Chapter 2
The Journey to Forks
Waking up to a good start was surprising. I thought I would here my mom yell for me to get up. I beat her to it. I didn't know what time it was until I read the clock. It was 6:02.
Even if I woke up early doesn't meet the city was asleep. The early morning comes and the city is right where it start last night. Cars' horns were heard. I hear some people shouting. And the contrition workings was always building like bees.
I will miss this place. I think I will at least. It was time for my to pack the little bit I had left of my stuff. I was to busy helping mom, who didn't give a inch of her life to help. I did most of the work. She just set everything on the bed and I wrap everything in the daily Chicago newspaper.
I hurried and grab my clothes for today. Taking a shower before mom was evil. I let her deal with the cold water. I finally finish my daily hygiene including brushing my teeth. I'll skip breakfast for today.
It doesn't feel the same anyone about breakfast. We usually eat like a family would do. My mom making breakfast while my dad read the Chicago newspaper. I never saw it coming. Now I have force myself back to reality.
Next, I packed. Grabbing a throwing my baseball stuff. I made sure to be careful of my baseball photos in the frames. I clear off my desk and finishing up when my mom walked in.
"Honey it's time...oh your already awake,"she said with shock written on her face.
That milk with ice always help me go to sleep,but not last night. It was a bummer to sleep about five hours. I actually feel wide awake now.
"Yes mom,"I nodded while putting away rest of my stuff.
"I'll make some breakfast,Edward, if your hungry,"Mom said with concern on your face now.
The room was suddenly suffocating me. Even if I was felt a little dizzy I still had thoughts going through my head. I felt like I knew something about the divorce, but shove it away in the back of my head.
"Don't worry about me mom. I'm fine. I just don't want anything to eat,"I said placing my self on my bare bed.
"I am worry about you,Edward, but understand when you get older things just happen. You'll understand one day,"Mom said with tears glossing her eyes.
Mom was a strong woman. I care for her and I want the best for her. I just wish they thought about me. I have no why my parents would try a second chance in marriage despite being together twenty-one years. I knew how long they were together because I cherish my parents. Now I had to chose to go with one and rarely see the other.
"I'm skipping breakfast for now. I'll be hungry again for lunch," I said reassuring my mom.
"Well okay. Your grandpa will be over in soon. We're leaving in an hour or two."
"Alright mom I hear ya. I'm finish packing by the way. I'll be sitting right here waiting," I said to her.
Mom left and I waited. Soon grandpa showed up all in he's suits like he was ready for business or sign a contract. I help grandpa put all the boxes with our stuff in a U-haul truck. I sold my car to a dealership with the cash to save. It was an older model so time to upgrade. My mom promise me any vehicle I want she'll get. I just want something that's a ford I told her. She just shrugged.
We was off to Forks, Washington. Could the day get any better? I had all my friends numbers. In case I got bored which I did I text them. What any car ride me fun?
I receive a text from Kyle asking,how fun was my tour. I said great that "Spoonville" wasn't far away now. He text saying I better hope I don't get kicked out because of my weird family being from the city Chicago. A small town with city folks joining ! Are they use to having visitors like me? They have Port Angeles and Seattle which doesn't sound like a Yankee place.
It wasn't long when we finally made it there to Forks. I wish we turned back now. The whole place was rainy. It's just all wet. Dense forest everywhere surrounding the small town. I felt like I just took another shower. It's was too much moisture in the air besides the rain.
My first thought for forks. I hated it. I looked over and saw how my mom didn't approve. My grandpa didn't care.
"I guess we have to try this place out," Mom had said,"It's just a little rain."
Right! A little rain? I feel like I wanted to build an Ark like Noah so I don't drowned I'm Forks' rain. Why would anyone live here? Oh right the towns folks would. Of all places in the United States, my mom chose here where we going to live.
"I've already picked a place where we going to live,"Mom said,"it's a big two story 'll love it,Eddy."
I know now she's excited. She use my nickname in times like these. Maybe the place wouldn't be all bad besides the flood. I'll give it a try I guess,so will my mom.
I looked at my mom she had somewhat a dreamy look on her face. I thought about it for a second on what she was thinking. My mom loved 'Garden Homes' magazines.
"Does the house need any repairing? Or it's what you saw in one of your magazines,"I had asked.
Her eyes widen a little,"Well a little repairing , I told you not to yes it looks similar to one of the houses in my magazines."
My mom looked at for a second with a smile. Oh, boy! She's obsession with those magazines. I take that back ten times more worse then just being obsess. She has magazines stack full of cooking,home design, homes for sale, designer ware and lets just forget Garden Home, it's right up on her top number one chart.
"Is it little or big repairing,"I asked.
She smiled so maybe not much,"Just a new painting job for the dinner room and a new kitchen sink."
"Oh...well not to bad. I'll love just fine then,Ma,"I said nodding.
"And a new hot water heater. That's it."Mom quickly said.
What no hot water? How we suppose to shower without any hot water. Great just great. I knew she was laughing in the inside. She knew I take a shower every morning and every evening.
"Mom I spoke to soon,"I said.
"I know you did,Eddy,"Mom said while giggling.
Pulling up in the drive way, the house did look pretty good. A cream vanilla color was painted with a light grey for the mom does have good taste. The house remind me of a ice cream with its color. I actually love it, if it had a hot water heater.
"Well what do you think,"Mom had ask.
"I love it but I don't want to speak to soon again,Ma,"I had said,"I haven't seen
the inside just yet."
"Well you love it too,"Mom smiled.
We walked in. The smell of a house that hasn't been use for a while. It smell nothing but wood like it was just built. I continue looking around. The living room and to the left the dinner through the French doors.
Yes, mom was right. A new paint job because that maroon color for the dinning room just not fit. To the right from the dinning room was the kitchen. It was huge. I think mom picked it out for the kitchen.
Turning around my mom walked in the kitchen. She had a smile on her face. All I did was smile nodded too. I love it so far.
From the kitchen was the a another small room. I guess a den or maybe a computer room. Then, from there was a smaller room and to the left was the bathroom. A medium size bathroom with a big tub. Short of to my right was another room and that would be a bed room.
Walking straight was another room and to my right was a set of stairs. I went up the stairs which made a right angle. I came across a hallway with three bedrooms to my left. I'm the only child, so it's probably just me or grandpa or mom for that matter with me up here. There was two small closets to my right. Down the hallway was a huge window. I looked out the window and nothing but dense forest. Rain washed the window.
I really love the house. It was becoming to feel like a home to me. The house was just in the wrong location. Well, at least when it rain which is 99.9% of the time I can stay in. I don't think I'll grow tire of the house.
I came down the stairs and walked into the living room. Grandpa was already putting the packed boxes in the house. I hurry and helped him. Soon the whole living was packed. Coming from a nice size apartment to a huge house, you'll notice you don't have enough to fill the gaps and space.
I walked up to my mom after finishing,"Let me guess,your going shopping for the house any time soon."
"Um...Yes Edward."Mom stuttered but smiled.
"We live now in a huge house and not enough to fill it." I said.
My mom laughed,"Well we're heading to Lowe's to buy new furniture and we need to sleep on something,Eddy."
She was right. I wasn't sleeping on the floor,"Oh I picked what room I wanted."
"Really," She said in a huge smile now.
"I'm picking the third room by the window in the hallways. It's the last room on your left."I had said.
"There's three bedrooms up there,"Mom asked.
"You bought the house. You should know before me," I said,"Or was it you like the outside before checking the rest of the house. Have you talk to the previous owner about the repairs?"
"Well yes, Edward, I have. Would you slow down. I love of from the start to bother with looking inside. The man who own it lives down the street. He owns the diner in Forks."
"Oh that explains it," I had said.
"Sometimes I think you know what goes on in people's head especially mine,Eddy." Mom giggled.
"Its a habit. I think to much." I had said, it was the truth.
"All that thinking will lead to stress,honey," Mom said,"Sometimes I worry about you."
"No it doesn't mom. I think positively and whatever comes and goes in my mind."I had said while we made it back inside the house to being with putting up our stuff,"and worrying leads to stress to mom. Be careful what you say."
I laughed at mom. All she did was shake her he's with one hand on her hip. I knew I was annoying her.
"Alright, Sunny Where to begin with all this."Grandpa had ask me.
"We can chose where we want to stay in our rooms and put our stuff there," I had said,"We only packed and bought our own stuff from each of our own."
Grandpa nodded and agreed. He took he's boxes and went to he's room which he chosen the first room up stairs. Mom had the room downstairs. I had to do the work for mom. She was on her phone looking up whatever, probably furniture for the house.
Everything was shorted over the weekend. We arrived Sunday after a day and eight hours of traveling here by car. It was late afternoon after we all finish unpacking and shorting out our belongings. Yeah it was fun. I rolled my eyes. I had to do half of the work but maybe it'll tire me out to sleep tonight for my new school. Wow was I ready for school!
"Ready to go to the car dealership before it closes," Mom asked.
"Yes, I do want a new 2005 ford truck," I stated.
"Oh... What color." Mom ask.
"A navy blue." I said
I had an older model truck not a car. It was a 1995 dodge. So I was done with the dodge and wanted to try out the ford. I wasn't picky person but when you get that chance you wanted to be picky.
"Well okay,Ready," Mom asked.
"Has I ever be." I had said.
I dread in the morning. The first day of a new school was hard. I already felt nervous of the thought of a new school. I wonder if it was horrible like mine with the drama. At least Janna wasn't there. I smiled at that thought.
After getting my new pick up. It was nice. Brand shinny new from Seattle. I was tired and sleepy. It was past ten'o clock. I made my famous drink, milk with ice to clam me before bed. I then drifted off to bed.
Please review :) Thank yous :)
