please remember to review to motivate me

"Ah come on Rosie, Edward isn't that bad," I defended him.

"Easy for you to say. Yall got along great if I remember correctly." So much truth if only they knew the half of it.

Ch. 2

I went straight home after school, my friends asked me to hang out with them but I didn't feel like being the fifth wheel and I'm over riley so I wasn't going to ask him to hang with us.

Oh Renée and Phil's car is home I guess I didn't get the memo they were coming home. Phil is a baseball player so he has to travel a lot and every once in a while they are home. My mom, Renée married Phil after she divorced my dad, Charlie when I was 2. I don't know much about Charlie, I see him once a year for 2 weeks and that's about it. Phil is more of a dad to me than Charlie even if he's gone a lot for his job.

"Hey mom, dad, I'm home." I found them in the kitchen, Phil was eating a sandwich and mom was just sipping some coffee. I kissed them both on the cheek and Phil pulled me to his lap like he did whenever he got back from a long trip. He may not be my real dad but he was still the best dad ever and I was his little girl, through his eyes that is. "I didn't know yall were coming home."

"Well I have a game nearby the city so we decided to stop by and visit our daughter." I didn't bother correcting him that I wasn't his daughter; I've never had because through our eyes I was his daughter, so instead I just took a bite of his sandwich, "hey! You little piggy that was my sandwich get your own."

He always did this, pretend to get mad at me, "all I wanted was a bite chill old man." He just laughed.

"so bells how was school," my mom spoke for the first time.

"eh it was uneventful," I know that seems like a lie after what happened before first but you will soon learn it wasn't much of an event for me. "So when do you guys go back."

"you see how ungrateful she is Renée? We stopped by to visit her and she already wants to ship us away," Phil of course was being over dramatic on purpose so I just ignored him and turned to Renée.

"sorry to say sweetie but we are only going to be in town for a couple day. We have to leave Wednesday night," mom explained being genuinely sorry, she hates leaving me alone but I can't let just ignore Phil, plus I don't mind.

"it's cool at least yall will get to meet Edward, Esme's nephew. He is going to stay with the cullens for the rest of senior year."

"oh wasn't he the one who stayed with them a couple summers ago?" mom asked and I just nodded.

"I remember yall got pretty close last year. I don't like Renée, I don't like the idea of a teenage boy living right next door." This just made me roll my eyes, they had no idea how close we had gotten.

"Dad, jasper and Emmett lives right across the street," I pointed out to him like it was the most obvious thing in the world which it kind of was.

"But they are different they are like brothers to you, I can trust them." I just shook my head at him and went upstairs to my room.

Yall are probably wondering what my house looks like? I am going to take that as a yes. Well our house is like any other house in the street, though the houses in our street aren't like most houses. My street is fairly small and private. There is only three houses which are mine, the Cullens and the McCarthy's, well I guess you can't exactly call them houses more like mansions. My house is a large two story house, three if you count the attic which like a floor of it's own. My room is the biggest on the second story it has a huge closet big enough to be considered a small room and large bathroom with Jacuzzi and shower. It's currently black purple and red, but not in an emo way. I have a whole corner of my room dedicated to my music there is several bookshelves worth of CD, alphabetize of course, with a wicked dj table that accepts CDs Ipods and records, of course I got large record collection big enough that it could battle a music fanatic's from back when records were popular. Mom and dad's room is downstairs so we are far apart. Thankfully! One great thing about my room is that it has a balcony on the side of the house which makes sneaking in and out a snap, not that I need to sneak out much considering mom and dad are rarely home.

As soon as I got to my room my phone vibrated meaning I have a text.

Bells come over! *Alice

That was short and sweet; I guess I have to get over there.

I walked next door and just walked in like I always do, I haven't bothered knocking in ages. Esme notices me and hugs me, "hey sweetie."

"hey mom," this is one our things, since my mom and dad are gone so much Esme and Carlisle have become second parents to me, well they actually are, they even ground me, so I always greet them that.

"I'm guessing Alice called you over," Esme asked even though I never need a reason to come over but she some how always knows when I come over when I'm invited and when I just randomly show up, I just nodded at her, "I figured, well she's in the basement with Emmett, Jasper, and Rosalie."

"Hey guys! So why did I need to come over," I greeted them and asked Alice.

"since when do you need a reason to come over," Alice pointed out looking innocent.

"true but I know there is a reason."

"well Alice was just wondering what we should do for Edward when he gets here," Emmett answered.

"why are you making such a big deal ali," I asked her.

"can't I do something special for my favorite cousin." She said happily.

"well he's my least favorite cousin," Rosalie pointed out still not happy with the news of Edward.

"guys what you just said made no sense considering he's your only cousin." I pointed out.

"exactly" they both responded though Alice said it happily while Rosalie said it in a sour tone. I decided to finally sit down instead of just standing while everyone was sitting. I walked up to couch and squeezed in between jasper and Emmett.

"why don't we just throw a party Friday." I pointed out.

"that would be great bells, except all our parents are home and we noticed your parents got home so we have no where to throw it," jasper explained.

"well Phil and Renée are only here for a short visit, they are leaving Wednesday," as soon as I was talking about Renée and Phil, Esme came down stairs with a tray of cookies and soda.

"Bella did I just hear you say your parents are leaving Wednesday?" Esme asked looking disappointed.

"Ya Phil has game Thursday so they need to leave Wednesday night," I responded.

"well I was planning on making a welcome dinner for Edward but maybe depending on the time they're leaving they can still come," she added looking hopeful.

"ya I bet they could I don't think their flight leaves till late." Esme left after that.

As soon as I got to my room my phone vibrated with a text again, what is it with people texting me as soon as I get in my room?
