Chapter 2


"Bells were home." Her dad yelled from downstairs.

Bella jump off the bed she was laying on with Edward and ran down stairs with her boyfriend behind her.

"BELLA" "ALEX" both girls yelled at the same time. Jumping up and down hugging each other.

"Girls." Charlie whispered to Edward on his way into the kitchen.

Edward stood back and watch the love of his life hug her cousin. He smiled at how happy she was. But he also noticed he couldn't read Alexia either. Weird. But her blood didn't call to him like Bella's did. Just more proof Bella was his true mate.

"Alex you look so good. God its been so long. I'm so glad you're here." Bella told her.

Alex and Bella were the same height. Alex had long thick wavy dark brown hair that had a red tent and Hazel green eyes. Pale just like Bella and the same slim build. You could tell they were related.

"I know I'm excited too. You look so happy Bella. I thought I'd never see the day you'd be happy in Forks." Alexia laughed.

"Let me introduce you to the reason why." Bella said walking towards Edward wrapping her arms around her perfect angel.

"This is my boyfriend Edward Cullen." Bella introduced.

"Nice to meet you Edward. I'm Alexia but call me Alex. I've heard so much about you." Alex shook his hand noticing how cold it was and his wicked gold eyes. Hum.

"It's a pleasure to meet you as well Alex. Welcome to Forks." he said very politely.

"Thanks. It's good to be here. It will definitely take some getting use to the rain when your from hot, humid Georgia." she laughed.

"Trust me you finally get use to it. Sort of." Bella said.

"You don't seem very tan for living in Georgia girl." Bella told her. She remembered everyone telling her that when she moved here from Arizona.

"You know I'm on a mission to stay pale as possible. Tanning is so bad for you." she laughed looking around the house.

"Well love I'm going to leave so you can catch up with Alex. I'll see you at school in the morning. Or and by the way. I cant read your Cousin either." He whispered as she walked him to the door. Alex went in the kitchen to give them privacy.

"Really. that's weird. Must run in our family or something." Bella said laughing.

"It must be. I love you. I call you later." he said kissing her deeply leaving her breathless before walking to his car.

Bella stood at the door and watch him drive away missing his lips already.

"He's cute Bella. Does he have any single hot friends." Alex ask walking up behind her.

"He is cute. Good I love that man. And actually he has two brothers and one is single." Bella said thinking of Jasper. How funny would that be if they both fell for Vampires.

"Really. Well you'll have to introduce me to this brother. There adopted right. I think I remember you telling me there was a bunch of kids around the same age in his family that are adopted." Alex ask sitting on the couch.

"Yeah. Dr. Cullen and his wife adopted them all. They cant have any children." Bella said.

"Well that's nice of them. He has some wicked gold eyes though." Alex told her.

Bella knew she was already noticing things. It wouldn't take long for her to figure it out.

"Well let me show you to your room." Bella said leading the way up to the guest room that was next door to hers.

They spent the rest of the day catching up. Alex told her that she was taking the death of her dad pretty well. She was sad but she got to say good bye and promised him she wouldn't get depressed and would live her life happy. Which she plans to do.

Bella gave her the scoop about the town and school and about her friends. Also told her about Jake on the reservation and his friends. They went shopping for Alex's school stuff later on and out to eat with Charlie before heading back to settle in for the night.

"I'm going to have to go car shopping maybe this weekend. Your dad said that there was somewhere named Port Angelas that would be a good place to start. He also said your Cullen friends knew a lot about cars and might be able to give me a direction to start in." Alex said after they finished getting ready for bed and were talking in Bella's room.

"He's right they do know cars. They all have nice expensive cars. Rose is the car expert. You'll meet them in the morning. But what's wrong with my truck." Bella ask pretending to be hurt.

"Nothing. It's just I don't think I could drive that big thing. Plus you don't want to be driving me all over so its best if I get a car of my own. My dad left me a good bit of money so I'm going to use some on a car. Plus I really don't want to drive your dad's cop car." Alex replied laughing at her expression about her big old truck and dads car.

"I totally understand about the cop car. I was so glad to get my truck when I first moved here. Well we should get to bed. Good night sis." Bella told Alex.

They went to bed. Alex was excited and nervous about the first day of her last year. At least she knew two people that would be going to school with her. She just knew by what Bella said happened to her when she first came here that she was going to be the talk of the town for weeks to come.
