Chapter 1: Welcome to Paradise
Song for this Chapter Welcome to Paradise by Green Day
BPOV
Mom and Dad let Emmett and I drive his Jeep up together to Forks on Friday afternoon so that we could have time to say goodbye to our friends. Let me correct myself so Emmett could say bye to his friends my brother was Mr. Popular himself he just had that personality. I on the other hand was content to spend my time listening to music and reading books in my room. Occasionally I would let Emmett drag me along with his friends but for the most part I just liked to be alone with my thoughts. We arrived in Forks at about midnight. I was exhausted and I had a headache. Emmett wouldn't let me control and of the music so I unfortunately wound up listening to the likes of Blink 182. Green Day and Weird Al. Don't get me wrong in moderation I have nothing against these artist but when you brother sings along with the tracks at the top of his lungs and sounds like a combination of howling wolves and nails on a chalk board its not a pretty thing for your eardrums.
So when we arrived I ran straight to my mom and begged to know which room was mine and where the aspirin was because I couldn't get out of that car fast enough. I told her tomorrow Emmett and I had made plans to go around town and explore a little so that we could see some of our old acquaintances and let them know we were going to be going to school with them.
Saturday Morning 8 AM
I was having a dream that I was being chased through the forest or at least that's what I assume, because there was green every where you turned. There was this horrible noise coming from behind me. It kind of sounded like Emmett singing and it was barely audible at first but then when I would slow down and listen to what is was saying. I could tell that whatever this creature was, it was singing Weird Al's –Eat it. Then I felt a trembling underneath me and the ground was shaking. I thought it was an earthquake. So I bolted out of bed and started screaming. "EARTHQUAKE!!!! MOMMY, DADDY SAVE ME!!!!"
And then someone grabbed me by my shoulders and turned me around. It was Emmett and he was wearing a smirk on his face and was chuckling.
"Munchkin there is no Earthquake I just didn't know what else to do to wake you up. I came in here and shook you I tried singing but nothing I did would get you to even move. You just kept saying this can't be hell it's to green here."
I slapped his arm playfully and told him I was extremely perturbed that he woke me up after last nights fiasco car ride I needed my rest! He just laughed and turned to leave the room nut not before letting me know I had twenty minutes to get up and ready before he came back up here and dressed me himself. He even threatened that if he had to do that he would dress me up in his Halloween costume from last year and I would have to walk around town asking people if they could point me in the right direction of neverland.
"Stupid Brothers…….I don't know why I couldn't have been an only child."
"Because then you wouldn't have anyone to chase the boys away when they get to close! And who would have been my Tinkerbell??" He pouted
I sighed and try to hide the little smile that was trying to form on my lips. But he saw it and new he was forgiven. I was never one to hold a grudge or stay mad at Emmett he was my protector, my brother and my best friend. He would take the brunt of the punishment that mom and dad would give us whenever we got into trouble. Even though most of the trouble we got into was his fault in the first place but I would never tell them that. I always had too much fun with him.
"Alright Emmy I will be down in twenty do you mind making me breakfast?? I am not going to be able to with this time restriction you have put on me."
"Ok what you like? A granola bar and a glass of water, a nice big helping of air and water or cereal and milk?" this was his idea of him thinking he was amusing.
"Emmett just for that comment you are going to take me to breakfast and it's your treat!"
"Alright, Alright get ready and lets pray this one horse town has a diner open at 8 in the morning!"
With that he walked out of my room and left me to get ready. I could hear him playing Welcome to Paradise by Green Day in his room while he was waiting for me to get ready. He had played that song on repeat last night when we pulled into Forks. He kept saying that mom and dad had chosen the only in the United States that had one stop light in the entire place. I thought this was hilarious but he couldn't see the humor in the situation.
I was ready and downstairs with my hair in a ponytail and jeans a black and gray Jimmy Hendrix shirt and my black and grey ballerina flats. Emmett and I decided to drive around and see what we could find since it was a Saturday morning we hoped we would run into a few kids our age around town before heading over to the Hale's house. Jasper Hale was Emmett's friend from the summers we had spent here years ago and I had become close to his sister Rosalie. They were Emmett's age and would be in their senior year as well but I was just hoping they were still here because it would be nice to know someone on the first day of school in a week.
We found a little diner that was open and ate that killed an hour of our time. Everyone seemed to know that we were the new Police Chiefs kids and kept staring at us like we were some freak show exhibit. Thank goodness Emmett was with me or I would have died of embarrassment!
When we finally headed out of the diner it felt like we had met the entire population of Forks. It's not like that was a hard task to accomplish because the population was like three thousand.
We asked for directions to the Hale's house and the waitress Martha was very helpful she let us know that Jasper and Rosalie were quite popular around here and that they did indeed still live in the same neighborhood. So we headed over there hoping that there were already awake and as friendly as we remember.
When we arrived at the Hale's house it was GINORMOUS! And that was an understatement I didn't remember the house being that big but Emmett said it was. I hid behind him and he rang the doorbell.
Jasper came to the door and immediately recognized Emmett. How could you forget the big bear that is my brother? He was so outgoing and friendly that he made it hard not to like him. Except when he got those stupid prank ideas into his head and I was usually the butt of his jokes. Living with him and definitely toughened me up. Jasper greeted us and called Rosalie down stairs.
Rosalie walked into the room and I swear that girl would make a super model green with envy. She has long blonde hair and crystal clear blue eyes. And she knocked my brother speechless, which was a hard task to accomplish. Emmett didn't date much when we were back in Arizona he was always focused on football and truth be told the girls that flocked to him were not the kind of girls that could handle and reign in someone like Emmett.
"Hey Bella! Hey Emmett! How are you guys doing? It's been what five or six years, what are you guys doing here isn't summer almost over? And we haven't seen you around here since your grandparents passed" Rose said
And there was silence I watched as Emmett opened and closed his mouth trying to form a sentence. I chuckled he looked like a guppy.
"Well we just moved here my dad thought it would be a good move for the family if he accepted the Chief of Police position here. So we will be starting school with you guys. Mom is taking us to register on Monday." I said trying my hardest to bite back the fit of laughter that was threatening to escape.
Emmett finally found his brain again and said "yeah!" a little too enthusiastically but only Jasper and I seemed to catch that because Rosalie looked just like Emmett had a minute ago.
"So you guys are the new kids we have kept hearing so much about?" Jasper chuckled "I am glad your parents decided to move. We could use some serious muscle here on the football team. I'm a wide receiver and my girlfriend's brother is the quarterback and we have a really good running game but can't seem to get to the end zone without better blockers."
Rose and I looked at Jasper like he had sprouted another head, but Emmett seemed to understand what he was talking about. So I turned to Rose and asked what she had been up to in the past couple of years. She let me know that she was the Cheerleading Captain but not to let that fool me because she only agreed to do it for two reasons. One she liked getting to boss people around and two because it looked good on her college applications. I had to laugh at that.
She was in the middle of telling me all about Forks High and who to avoid and who was good to hang out with, when my phone buzzed that I had a new text message. It was from Emmett. He and Jasper had gone to the family room to play video games; he wanted me to see if I could talk him up to Rose for him. I laughed at the shoved the phone back into my pocket.
I turned to Rose "are you dating anyone Rose? I know Jasper said he had a girlfriend."
"No I don't date the boys around here there are slim pickings and most of the guys around here are ubber buttheads. I am sure you will see what I mean when you get to school and they start staring at you like you're a new toy."
"Oh ok I was just wondering……"
"What about you Bella? Do you have a boyfriend back home that you're going to try and make the long distance thing work with? Does your brother?"
I didn't miss the fact that she tried to squeeze information from me on Emmett into that question. So I decided to be the good little sister and leave her hanging on Emmett and pretend like I didn't hear her ask about him. If she probed for more info on him then there was a huge chance that she might like my brother bear. "Well Rose I have never had a boyfriend so to answer your question. No I don't have someone back home that I am trying to make a long distance thing work with." I stopped there and she gave me a look like she was waiting for me to answer her other question.
"What about Emmett? I remember hearing that he was an All State Football player does he have a head cheerleader back home waiting for him?" She asked quietly
YES!!! I screamed internally I am the master!!! And Emmett is going to have to bow down and kiss my toes!!! HA HA HA I chuckled evilly in my head………whoa where did that come from? I have spent too much time with Emmett in the last few weeks. "Why no Rose, Emmett wasn't dating any girl back home and you are right he is and All State Linebacker. He has some scouts from Notre Dame after him, and I believe Duke just jumped on the band wagon that is TEAM EMMETT SWAN" I smiled
"Oh ok I was just wondering……I know girls are going to drill me for information on Monday when they find out I know the new kids" She smiled back at me.
She wasn't fooling me I knew better that she wanted the information for herself, but I chose not to comment on that. I looked at my watch and realized that it was almost five in the afternoon we had been here almost all day. I stood up and told Rosalie that we needed to get back home before my mom got upset and had to call out my dad to find us. Emmett tends to get into trouble a lot when he is left to his own devices. If she chose to hang around with us she would soon learn that on her own. As I went downstairs to grab Emmett the doorbell rang. Rosalie answered the door while I kept walking to the family room to grab Emmett. I heard someone talking to Rosalie.
"Holy Moly Rose whose Jeep is sitting in your driveway? That person must be like ten feet tall in order to climb into that?"
"Ssshhh ALICE!!! He is in the other room with Jazz and his sister is right there!!" she whisper scolded
"Oh Sorry!" I heard the girl named Alice laugh it sounded like wind chimes.
"I hope you don't mind I had to bring the dreaded x that is my brother with me. He needs to be escorted over to his latest victim's house to pick up his belongings." she chuckled "he is afraid after she threw a can of Campbell's Chicken Soup at his Precious Volvo yesterday!"
"Oh ok well go get him and we will introduce you guys to some childhood friends of ours" Rose said.
I walked into the family room and whispered for Jasper to give me his controller. He looked puzzled but gave it to me anyway. They were playing Halo 2 I grabbed the controller hid behind a wall for cover and waited to Emmett to come looking for me. I waited for him to come closer when he walked just a little past me. I jumped out and shot a whole in his stomach. His character fell to the ground. He cursed and turned to look at Jasper to ask how he had done that. Then he noticed that I had the controller in my hands. I heard Rose's footsteps and two other sets enter the room but I wasn't paying attention I was too busy laughing at Emmett. "I should have known it was you Bella! Jasper was using military tactics on my earlier but that hiding and ambushing behind is your favorite move! ARGH! Beaten AGAIN by my little sister!"
"Well Emmett if you didn't want me beating you maybe you shouldn't have forced me to learn how to play when no one else was around to play with you!" I said between laughs.
"Nice Bella!" Jasper chuckled.
"Impressive! Can you teach me how to play? Jazz is always trying to get me to play him" The girl I assumes name was Alice stated.
"WOW" I heard the bronzed hair boy I assumed to be the one they referred to as the dreaded x brother mumble.
He was good looking but I hadn't even been introduced to him yet and I had already gotten the impression that he was the player type. Not a good first impression for him.
Rose cleared her throat then introduced us all. Alice was Jasper's girlfriend of two years. And her brother's name was Edward. I shook each of their hands and then watched as they stared at Emmett as he stood up and walked over to them to shake their hands. "This is Isabella Swan and her brother Emmett Swan. They are the new police Chiefs kids." Rose said.
"Holy Crow! Emmett please tell me you are going to play football! YOU ARE HUGE DUDE!!! I could use you as a blocker." Edward said in a voice that had an awed and pleading tone to it.
Emmett laughed "yeah man I plan on playing I hope the coach will let me on the team since I just moved here. My dad and I are going to the school on Monday to talk to the coach and get registered."
"So are you guys going to be going with us to the movies later?" Alice Asked
"Oh no Alice I just ended my brother's game because we need to get home before our mom send Chief Swan searching for us and the damage we may have inflicted on this town." I chuckled
Edward laughed and smiled at me. Alice turned to look at him like he had just sprouted a new head. I could tell I was missing something but I couldn't bring myself to pay attention. I got caught up in his green eyes.
"Ugh yeah munchkin we better get going before mom lays a golden egg." Emmett chuckled "we will catch you guys later I am sure you guys all know where the new kids live since we seem to be the highlight of everyone's year around here. So you guys should stop by whenever you want. Jazz here has my number. We will see you guys later."
With that we said our goodbyes and walked to the car. Emmett walked to my side of the Jeep he had to help hoist me in because it was too big for me to get into on my own.
When we were pulling out of the driveway Emmett started grilling me any information about Rosalie. So I decided to have some fun with him first. "Yeah Em she says she is dating that Edward guy, she said being head cheerleader it was her duty to date the best football player that the school has to offer."
Emmett tried not to let me see but I saw his face fall a little. I instantly regretted playing with his emotions like this.
"Really?" He asked
"No Emmy I was just kidding she isn't dating anyone she was actually drilling me for information on you and wanted to know if you were dating anyone back home. I think that you have an extremely good chance with her if you decide to ask her out. And I give my full approval she isn't like the airheads back in Arizona that chased you around." Emmett and I had agreed that if either of us were going to date someone and bring them into this relationship that we had with each other, that we would always respect the others opinion on that person. Fortunately for my brother bear he had never had to voice his opinion on anyone I wanted to bring home to hang out with us.
"Em I am sorry I didn't mean to play with your feelers do you forgive me?" I put on my best puppy dog face and puckered my lower lip.
He laughed "yeah oompa loompa I forgive you!"
"Ok and goodness gracious you better not act all like a sissified tweety bird in front of Rosalie. She strikes me as a girl who needs a strong man to take care of her." I playfully joked with him to get him laughing again.
It worked, by the time we pulled in front of the house it was six and I knew mom would need help getting dinner on the table. Charlie and Emmett were used to eating dinner by seven at the very latest. I ran inside while Emmett moved the car so that Dad would be able to pull the cruiser into the garage when he got here.
By the time that Dad showed up dinner was on the table and he listened to Emmett and I tell him about our days. Then he turned to Mom and asked her about her day and we found out that she had busied herself around the house making sure that Emmett's and my rooms were all set up and in order. All we had to do was go in and put our stuff back up on our shelves. Mom had painted my room my favorite color. Midnight Blue……although after seeing Edwards very beautiful emerald green eyes I was starting to think that was my new favorite color. I mentally slapped my self! ARGH what are you doing Bella? Seriously how can you be falling for the boy who had a reputation that even made his OWN SISTER shudder at the thought of it!
"Bella?!?"
"Hmm" I was brought out of my thoughts by my dad's concerned voice.
"I said are you thinking about joining any clubs or teams at school this year? Since I am going to talk to the football Coach for Emmett on Monday, while you guys are registering in the office, would you like me to talk to any coaches for you?"
"Oh yeah dad I plan on being on top of the pyramid cheering Emmett on" I said sarcastically
"Alright little miss smarty pants that real cute!"
We finished dinner and the boys did dishes which was a rule in our household if you cooked you didn't clean. I went upstairs to shower and get dressed for bed. In the back of my mind I kept thinking about those green eyes.
A/N Ok so there is my first chapter…….if you review I would like to know what you think. I really would appreciate constructive criticism. Next Chapter will be Monday while they are at school registering and who they run into there. I will be out of pocket for the next couple of days but I will try and get another chapter posted by Thursday.
