Chapter 2: Welcome To Forks

Skylar fell asleep in the backseat. It was the next day before she woke up. "How long was I asleep?" Skylar asked while yawning. "A good 10 hours we already made it to Austin, Texas," Emmett replied. "Oh wow I must been really tired," Skylar replied. "You needed the rest," Carlisle said. "Can we stop somewhere cause I really need to pee really bad and I'm getting hungry," Skylar asked. "Alright were do you want to stop at," Carlisle replied. "How about McDonald's," Skylar said.

Carlisle pulled in at McDonald's. Jasper went to help Skylar out of the car. "Thanks Jasper," Skylar said. "Your welcome," Jasper replied. Skylar took her time walking inside. Jasper helped her all the way to the restroom then waited for her to get out. After Skylar was done she went to wash her hands. She couldn't help to glance at herself in the mirror to see how bad it got. "When we get to the counter order anything you want," Jasper said. "Alright you know that I always do," Skylar replied giving a little smile. When they got to the counter they had to wait a minute for the cashier to come to the counter. "Can I help you?" the cashier asked. "Yeah I like to order two sausage biscuits, a hash brown, and a large orange juice," Skylar replied.

"Is that it?" the cashier asked. "Yes that it," Skylar replied. "That will be $6.50 will it be cash or debt card," the cashier said. "Debt," Jasper replied while pulling the debt card out. Jasper handed the card to the cashier to swap. Then the cashier handed the card back to Jasper. "I need to sit down," Skylar said. Jasper knew that Skylar was in pain. So Jasper helped her to the table where they were going to sit at while Skylar ate. "It shouldn't take long for breakfast to come," Jasper said.

"Are you feeling any pain?" Carlisle asked. "Yeah some," Skylar replied. Carlisle got up and went to the car. When he got back Carlisle handed Skylar some pain medicine. "Here you go this should help with the pain," Carlisle said. "Thanks I'll take it when I get my orange juice," Skylar replied. "The people in this place are gossiping like crazy," Emmett said. "What about?" Skylar asked. "Just theories about you about the bruises that you got," Emmett replied. "That's messed up. They need to hurry with my breakfast than with crackpot theories," Skylar said. They couldn't help but to laugh.

The alarm went off at Jade's house. She got up and went to the bathroom. Once out of the bathroom she had to wake up Josh so they could check on Skylar. "Hey Josh time to wake up or I'll come back with a bucket of ice water," Jade said. "You know how to wake up somebody don't cha," Josh replied. "Yup plus I want to check on Skylar to see how she's doing," Jade said. "Alright, alright I'm getting up," Josh replied while getting up. Josh went to the bathroom to get ready. He knew that Jade would get impatient. "Are you done yet I'm ready to go," Jade said impatiently. "Almost done just need to brush my teeth," Josh replied. Josh came out the bathroom where he met an impatient Jade. "Finally your done. Let's grab something light for breakfast and go to the car," Jade said.

"Ok," Josh replied. Jade and Josh headed downstairs to grab a light breakfast. They grab a pack of pop tarts each then went to Jade's car. It wasn't long before they got to Skylar's house. Jade couldn't get up the stairs quick enough. She was anxious to see how Skylar was doing since the ordeal that happened last night with Peter. Josh was right behind Jade when she rang the door bell. She kept pushing the door bell till Skylar's mom answered the door. "Hey Mrs. Gordan is Skylar here? You look terrible," Jade asked. "No Skylar isn't here she went to live with her aunt and uncle," Mrs. Gordan replied. "You got to be kidding right there is no way she will leave without saying goodbye to me," Jade said. "I'm afraid so I didn't want her to leave either," Mrs. Gordan replied. "I can't believe this my friend is gone," Jade said out of frustration. "She did leave you a note," Mrs. Gordan said. Mrs. Gordan went to get the note that Skylar left for her and Josh. "Skylar left this note for y'all," Mrs. Gordan said while returning. Mrs. Gordan hand the note to Jade to read. "Thanks," Jade replied. Jade and Josh sat down on the furniture that was on the porch to read the note that Skylar left them.

Jade was alittle shocked that Skylar left. Jade unfolded the note and begun to read it. She couldn't believe what she read. "That bastard. I wish I could get my hands on him,"Jade said in anger. "Everything ok?" Josh replied. "Everything is just peachy," Jade said sarcastically. Jade handed the note to Josh to read. "Dang I see why you are so mad. At least Skylar will be safe with her Aunt and Uncle," Josh said. "Your right cause Peter doesn't know where they live at," Jade replied. "And plus she said she would contact us when she was settled. Another up side there is a chance for us to visit her," Josh said. "Yup well let's say good-bye to Mrs. Gordan and head out. There is no use sitting around here," Jade said. Jade and Josh went to sy good-bye and left Skylar's house. Jade wished she seen her best friend one last time before she left. Jade wanted so bad to get her hands on Peter but she knew it wouldn't bring Skylar back.

"I wonder what's taking so long with my breakfast I'm getting hungry," Skylar said getting impatiently. "Hopefully it will get done soon," Emmett replied. About time Emmett said that the cashier called their number. "I'll go and get it," Jasper said. "Thanks Jasper," Skylar replied. Jasper got up and went to get Skylar's breakfast for her. It didn't take Jasper long to return with Skylar's breakfast. Skylar grab the orange juice so that she could take the medication. "Thank you for the breakfast," Skylar said. "Your welcome. Are you feeling any better?" Carlisle replied."Yeah some after I took the medication," Skylar said. The guys made small talk while Skylar ate her breakfast.

Every once and a while Skylar would check her phone for missed call and texts mostly from Jade and Josh. If she called theme back she knew she would break down and cry. When Skylar was almost done with breakfast when Carlisle's phone went off. He got up to take the call in private. Shortly later Carlisle returned. "Everything ok?" Skylar asked. "Yeah that was Esme just checking up on us," Carlisle replied. "We should be leaving soon," Emmett said. "I'm almost done," Skylar replied.

5 minutes later Skylar was done and made her way to the restroom. She knew it would be a while till the next stop. Emmett took the trash to the trash bin as Jasper helped her to the restroom. It didn't take her long then they made there way to the car. As they traveled they made a couple pit stops to refuel the car and allowed time for Skylar to use the restroom or to eat. It was the early morning of the next day when they arrived to Forks. Carlisle gave Esme a called letting them know they are on the way home. When they pulled into the driveway Skylar was still sleeping. "Emmett will you carry Skylar to the bedrrom as me and Jasper grab her things," Carlisle asked. "Alright," Emmett replied. They got out of the car. Emmett went to pick up Skylar from the backseat as Carlisle and Jasper got her things.

They made their way up the stairs to go inside. "Welcome home guys," Esme greeted them. Carlisle greeted Esme with a kiss on the lips then he walked into the house. "Hey Esme," Jasper replied. "Hey," Emmett said. They made there way to the room where Skylar would be staying in. Carlisle and Jasper had put her things down as Emmett put Skylar down on the bed as gently as he could so he wouldn't distrub her. He took her shoes off and layed them next to the bed then tucked her into bed.

They left the room quietly as possible. Ccarlisle cracked the door some when he left the room. "Skylar looks terrible," Esme said. "Yeah but it will heal with time," Carlisle replied. "Do you think she will be ok after everything that happened to her," Esme said. "I hope so she is a very strong person to deal with what happened to her. She just needs time," Carlisle replied. Skylar woke up later in the day. She took in the surroundings. She made her to the bathroom. As she made her was away out of the bathroom she had saw Alice standing in the room.

"You look terrible," Alice had said. "Yeah but it could had been worse," Skylar replied while giving a faint smile. "Carlisle told me to give you this," Alice said. Alice handed Skylar her meds. "Thanks I was starting hurt everywhere," Skylar said. "Roselie and me went ahead put up your stuff. Your clothes are in the closet among with some new clothes I pick out for you," Alice had said with a smile. "Thank you. Is this room mine?" Skylar said. "Yeah it is," Alice replied. Skylar went to hug Alice. "There is breakfast if you are hungry. By the way Carlisle went ahead got your number change for you, so you won't have any problems in Peter calling you," Alice said.

"Alright and that's good so I won't be having any problems with that piece of crap. I can call Jade and Josh to let them know that I'm ok," Skylar replied. "First get something to eat they can wait a little longer while you get something to eat," Alice said. Skylar made her way to the kitchen was. She had to stop a few times before making it there. "You know everything is going to be ok right," Alice said. "I hope so. I just meed to heal and get back on my feet and bounce back," Skylar replied. Skylar sat down at the kitchen counter while Esme sat down a plate.

"Thanks Esme," Skylar said. "Your welcome," Esme replied while smiling. While Skylar was eating Edward and Bella showed up. "My cousin is probably already here so you finally get to met her," Edward said. "That's great," Bella replied. They had made there way to where the living room and kitchen was at. Edward and Bella saw Skylar at the kitchen counter when they got in there. "Do you think she will like me?" Bella asked. "Yeah she will," Edward replied. Edward went up to where Skylar was sitting then put his hand on her shoulder. He could feel her tense up and saw every ordeal that went down with Peter. "Sorry Skylar its just me," Edward said. Skylar realized who it was and calm down. She had thought Peter found her. "Sorry Edward I just thought you were Peter," Skylar said. "Yeah I know saw everything when you tensed up," Edward replied. "I did forget that you can read minds," Skylar said. "Well came over to visit and see how things are going with you and for you to meet Bella," Edward replied. Skylar turned around to see that Bella standing there awkwardly. "You must be Bella. I heard nice things about you when Edward would call. Nice to meet you finally," Skylar said.

Bella went to shake Skylar's hand. "Likewise," Bella replied. Skylar was alittle relieved that Bella didn't asked about what happened to her. "So you must know about us being vampires," Bella asked. "Yeah I knew for a while," Skylar replied. "Do you have any plans for today?" Bella asked. "If I well up to it I might go and visit Embry to see how he is doing," Skylar replied feeling hopeful. "Well we will let you get back to eating your breakfast. You need help with anything just yell," Edward said. "I will and thanks," Skylar replied. Edward and Bella left Skylar in peace so she can finish her breakfast. After Skylar finished her breakfast Esme told her to just sit the dish in the sink. Skylar had made her way back into the bedroom and got onto her laptop. She had let it go the booting process to load up. While it did that she glanced a round the room that she was staying in. "Guess Alice knew that I was coming to stay," Skylar said to herself. The bedroom was decorated to Skylar's liking.

After her laptop loaded up she went to load up Skype so she could give an update to Jade and Josh. It didn't take long before Jade starting to call her on Skype. Skylar answered the call."We were so worried about you," Jade said. "I know that you were and I got here stay. How is my mom doing with everything?" Skylar replied. "She's going good and holding up. She is always going to worry about you no matter what. How you holding up?" Jade replied. "She's been through a lot with me dating that pig-face jerk. I'm doing better just need time to fully heal. By the way I got a new number and ill text you later with it," Skylar said. "You better. Do you have plans for today?" Jade said. "Yeah I was thinking about visiting one of friends that have here. I just hope that he remembers me," Skylar replied smiling. "I think you have a crush," Jade replied laughing. "Haha real funny," Skylar said. "What's his name?" Jade said trying to get all the juicy facts."His name is Embry. Well I'm going to get off and get a shower," Skylar replied. "Get a pic of him for me. Alright text me later when you up to it," Jade said. They ended the call and Skylar shut off the laptop. She closed it and got up.

Skylar made her way to the bathroom. First she made a pit stop to the closet for fresh pair of clothes. She had no doubt that Alice went clothes shopping for her. Skylar ended up grabbing a pair of sweat pants and a loose bright pink t-shirt. She knew that she didn't want to deal with a bra so she only grab a pair of underwear. Skylar slowly made her way to the bathroom to get a long do hot shower. She found a place to set down the clothes and turned on the shower. Skylar was glad it was a walk in shower not a tub and shower combo. While she waited for the water to get warm she took off the dirty ones that she was wearing and just laid them on the floor. It didn't take long for the water to warm up so she got in. She didnt notice that her body wash, shampoo and conditioner was already in the shower. "God this water feels so good on me," Skylar said to herself. The warm water helped her body to unwind some. Finally washed her body and got out of the shower.

Skylar dried off and got her clean clothes on. When Skylar walked back into the room Carlisle was waiting at the door for her. "Are you feeling any better?" Carlisle asked. "Yeah some since I got in the shower," Skylar replied. "Since you need a way to get around there is a present waiting outside for you," Carlisle said. Carlisle handed Skylar a pair of car keys. "Thank you for everything you did already," Skylar said. "Your welcome. Lets head outside to see what you got," Carlisle replied. "Alright," Skylar said. Carlisle helped Skylar outside to see what she got. Carlisle and Skylar walked to wear they parked all the vehicles at. "The mini cooper is yours and we knew that you been wanting one for a while now," Carlisle said. "Wow thank you so much," Skylar replied smiling. She would be jumping up in joy right now if she wasn't in so much pain.

Skylar went to walk around her new car that she just got. She was still a little shocked about having a car. "So do you like it?," Carlisle asked. "Yeah I do and thanks again," Skylar replied. At least Skylar didn't have to relay on rides to anywhere now. Carlisle and Skylar start the way back inside when Jacob and Renesmee pulled up in the driveway. They both got off the bike that Jacob rode. Skylar almost didn't recognize Jacob when he pulled up on the bike. "Wow didn't expect to see you so soon," Skylar said while smiling. "Well I didn't think you would mind seeing my ugly face for alittle while anyways. You know news travel fast in a small town," Jacob said while walking up to her. "Well you can't always believe what you hear you know it could be misleading. I think I did miss your ugly face," Skylar said while joking around. "Yeah I know," Jacob replied.

Jacob went over to Skylar and pulled her in a hug. "I wouldn't mind a hug Jake but it hurts," Skylar said while pulling away. "Sorry,"Jake replied. Jacob didn't realized how bad Skylar was till he really looked out her. "Did Peter did that to you?" Jacob asked. "Yeah he did. I'm just glad that I'm away from him for good. Far as I care he could rot in hell," Skylar replied. Skylar forgot that Renesmee was there and was listening to the conversation. "Skylar I want you to meet Renesmee," Carlisle said finally. Skylar finally realize that Renesmee was standing behind Jacob the whole time. "Sorry where is my manners. Hi Renesmee I'm Skylar by the way. It's nice to finally to meet you," Skylar said to Renesmee while holding out her hand. "Hi and likewise," Renesme replied while shaking Skylar's hand. Skylar was getting alittle uncomfortable in standing for so long. "I think I need to sit down now," Skylar said. "Let's get you back inside now. You can come inside if you like Jacob," Carlisle replied. Carlisle helped Skylar to get back inside of the house. They made their way to the living room where it would be comfortable for Skylar to sit for alittle.

"Thanks Carlisle," Skylar said. "Your welcome just let me know if you have any pain," Carlisle replied while smiling. "I well and I always do," Skylar said. Carlisle left the room and gave Skylar and Jacob some time to catch up. "So what's new," Skylar finally asked. "Not much haven't been much going on. You know Embry can't wait to see you again," Jacob replied. "Yeah I know. I do miss the good old days where the three of us would hang out during the summers when I visited. And I can't wait to see him again I wonder how much he has changed," Skylar said. Skylar did notice that Renesmee was at Jacob's side and also wondered if she was Jacob's imprint. She did figure out werewolves were real but she didn't tell Jacob that she knew about them. "Yeah me too. So what you got planned for the day?" Jacob asked. "I was thinking about going to see Embry. I just might go to the store and get some food," Skylar replied. "Sounds like fun. Well we better get going got things to do," Jacob said. "Alright see you later," Skylar replied.

Jacob and Renesmee got up and head towards the door to leave. Before Jacob left he gave Skylar a hug. Skylar heard the door close after Jacob and Renesmee left. Skylar didn't know what to do with herself. Maybe she should try to get out to explore alittle. It didn't take long to make up her mind in doing so. Skylar got up slowly and went to grab her newly car keys that she got that was laying on the coffee table. Skylar couldn't make up her mind if she should leave a note or not. "Hey Carlisle," Skylar said. She knew that he would hear her since he's got vampire hearing. Carlisle came in the living room from where he was at. "Everything is ok Skylar?" Carlisle asked. "Everything is fine I was just letting you know I was going to go out for alittle. I can't stay still for long sometimes," Skylar replied. "Alright and take it easy," Carlisle said. "I will," Skylar replied. "Before you leave here you go," Carlisle said. Carlisle handed Skylar a credit card in your name.

"Thank you," Skylar said in a little shock. She didn't expect something like that in her name. "Your welcome and the pin is the year you were born," Carlisle replied while smiling. Skylar went to get your purse that had everything she needed in it and put your newly credit card in her wallet. Then Skylar made her way outside to her Mini Cooper and got into it. Skylar heard her stomach growl so she decided to go to the store in town. It didn't take her long to find the only store in Forks. She parked the car and went inside. Skylar took her time walking around. 'I don't know what to get. Ugh don't even know what I'm craving,' Skylar thought to herself. She walked down every isle to see anything was appealing to her. Without even looking Skylar bumped into a person. "I'm so sorry," Skylar said apologizing while looking at the stranger. The stranger was standing a tall of 6'4" having a russet color skin tone.

The stranger was looking at Skylar as while. The stranger finally broke the eye connection between them. "Its fine no damage done," Embry said. "Hey Embry you ready to leave," one of the other guys said. "Embry oh my gosh don't recognize me?" Skylar asked. "I think so but not sure," Embry replied. "It's me Skylar," Skylar said. "I can't believe you are here in Forks," Embry said giving her a hug. "Ouch a little easy on the hug. Yeah I had a lot of things that happened back in South Carolina," Skylar replied while Embry pulled her from the hug. "Sorry you have to tell one day. Well it was nice seeing you again maybe we can see more of each other," Embry said while smiling. "Yeah I will like that we have to exchange numbers before you leave," Skylar replied. "Yeah so we can stay in touch since you are in Forks," Embry said still smiling like a goof ball.

Skylar and Embry exchange numbers so they can stay in touch with each other. Embry said goodbye to Skylar before leaving the store. Embry couldn't help but to smile the whole time. "Congrats man," Paul said. "Thanks man," Embry replied. Embry couldn't believe he had imprint on Skylar. It was about time he had imprint on someone. He had waited so long and now it had happened to him. He was glad it was with Skylar since he have a major crush on her. But he was always sad for her since she was in pain.

Finally the next chapter is here. Sorry it took a while to write this chapter. It took forever to write and to make sense.
