Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Twilight characters only Alyssa, her parents and her friends from North Carolina… the very talented Stephanie Meyers is to thank for the others.
Author's Note: It's been a long night and I can't sleep so I am using my insomnia to add another chapter haha.
Chapter 2: Home
Alyssa's plane landed in Port Angeles about 4 hours after leaving North Carolina and she was excited to see the familiar scenery of Washington. "Why the hell does Bella complain? I LOVE it here" she thought to herself as she stepped off of the plane. She made it this far but had no CLUE what she would do next as she didn't bother to contact anyone to let them know she was coming because quite frankly she didn't want to be found by anyone. She grabbed a bite to eat at the airport before buying a prepaid cell phone and calling a cab to take her to Forks which was about 45 minutes away. When she got to Forks she had the driver drop her off at the police department because she wasn't quite sure how to get to her uncle Charlie's house because she always rode with Greg and Cathy. She couldn't WAIT to see Charlie and Bella but she was dreading telling them the TRUTH about Charlie's brother, Greg, and his beloved wife, Cathy.
Alyssa walked into the Police department with her duffel bag in hand and asked the receptionist "Is Chief Swan in?", "No ma'am he's gone for the day did you need to see him for something?" she said and Alyssa replied "I'm his niece and I was going to surprise him but I seem to have forgotten how to get to his place so I had the cab driver drop me off here first." She looked at Alyssa sideways and said "You're Alyssa? Charlie talks about you a lot. Come on dear I'll get an officer to take you out there right away. Have a seat" A few minutes later one of the officers came out and said "Come one Miss Swan let's take you home".
The closer they got to her Uncle Charlie's house the more nervous Alyssa got but when she saw his cruiser sitting out from beside Bella's beat up truck she knew she was home and she couldn't help but feel somewhat at ease about the situation. Alyssa was just dreading the conversation she was about to have with the only two people she has ever considered family and vice versa. She took a deep breath and walked up the steps to the front door and rang the door bell as the officer drove away on a call. Alyssa's stomach was in knots as she waited for someone to answer and a smile spilled across her face as Bella opened up the door yelling "Got it Dad!" behind her.
Bella took a step back and did a double take before smiling and saying "ALLY CAT?" Ally cat was what Charlie and Bella called Alyssa and Alyssa vowed to never let anyone use that nickname other than them. Bella pulled her into a hug and said "What are you doing here? Where are Uncle Greg and Aunt Cathy?" "It's a long story…"Alyssa said looking down. "Come in you MUST be cold." Bella said pulling her inside "DAD! Look who's here" Charlie got up from the couch and walked into the front room and stopped dead in his tracks with he saw Alyssa. "Ally Cat?" he said throwing his arms around you "Where's your mom and dad?", "That's why I'm here uncle Charlie, Bella" she said starting to cry "I ran away!". It took a few minutes for her uncle and cousin to digest her words and then they sat down and listened to her entire story from beginning to end. When all was out in the open Bella was crying and Charlie looked as if he could kill someone. "That sorry piece of shit! Both of them!" he snapped "I KNEW something was wrong and I didn't dig deeper…if only I would've dug deeper then maybe your wouldn't have put up with that shit!" He continued to rant "I always knew that Cathy was a sorry excuse of a woman but my own BROTHER? How COULD he?" Charlie was furious but he managed to calm down when he saw how hurt Alyssa was. He walked over to her and he joined Bella, who was already wrapping her arms around her, and held Alyssa close. "You don't worry about it darling, you are HOME now. They won't ever bother you again and I will PERSONALLY make sure of that" he said stroking her hair.
Evidently Charlie felt the urge to move around and that made Alyssa a bit nervous as to what her uncle was going to do next. "Don't worry Ally Cat, you know him. He'll calm down in a bit…but both of us are going to be hurt and PISSED for a while" Bella whispered in her ear still holding her "You're going to have a better life now Ally, I promise. We'll get you into school after the break and you'll be what? A junior?" and Alyssa nodded "Cool, we'll be in the same grade I'll see if Charlie can work it so that you get some of my classes. I'll introduce you to my friends there. Hey! I know you are tired but maybe we could go down to La Push tomorrow and I'll introduce you to Jacob and the guys you will like them." Bella said, "Oh I dunno Bells, I'm kind of scared…"Alyssa admitted and Bella said "Ally cat TRUST ME when I say this and I know a lot more than you think….THESE BOYS are the good guys, they aren't the ones like your dumb ass mama brought around and they sure as HELL aren't like your dad…they are protectors in many ways than one." At those words she saw Alyssa relax a bit. "Come one Ally Cat, let's go get you cleaned up and I'll do a damage report for Charlie cause I know he's dying for pictures to build a case against your folks" she said and Alyssa followed Bella up to their room and sat her duffel bag on the bed. "It isn't much but if you don't want to share a bed that's cool. I figured we could until you get used to it here and then hopefully Charlie will be done with the guest room by then" Bella laughed pointing at the storage room across the hall, "NO it's cool, I'd rather be close to someone right now but you just shoo me out if you have a man or something and you want him in here" Alyssa said with a giggle. "Actually I DO have a man ad you will meet him in La Push tomorrow but he'll let you know he's here before he jumps through the window" Bella laughed. Alyssa hadn't laughed in such a long time that she knew things were going to be all right.
Bella and Alyssa woke up the next morning and went full force at cleaning out the junk room while waiting for Jacob and the rest of Bella's friends to get off of work. They had it all cleared out by lunch time so they went to the Police department and Charlie gave them his credit card before heading to Port Angeles to get some furniture and paint for the now empty room. "Get her whatever she wants Bells" Charlie said "She deserves it" Alyssa still had quite a bit of cash she had managed to take from her parents so she used it as well to purchase a few things.
After buying a nice bed, dresser, TV, and clothes they set out to shop some more. "So, what do I need to wear tonight to La Push?" Alyssa asked and Bella laughed "Whatever you want Ally Cat, they don't judge just don't get shocked when you see Jake and the boys walking around shirtless…they just roll like that" She picked out a cute outfit and they walked around the mall for a little while before coming up on an electronics store. Bella saw Alyssa's eyes light up when they passed by and she said "You want to go in?" and Alyssa said "I dunno if I should cause I have to admit something" and she looked at the floor before mumbling "I am a gamer" Bella let out a soft laugh before saying "I like to play a bit myself…what are you into?" They walked into the store and Alyssa eyed an Xbox which Bella took off the shelf and handed to the cashier to hold on to for them "You can have it…what kind of games do you want?" Bella asked and Alyssa looked around a bit before picking out the oddest games. "WOW! You and the guys will hit it off PERFECTLY when they see your choices" Bella said looking at the games "Madden? UFC 2010? Socom Multiplayer?" Alyssa blushed and said "I know I know tomboy but hey! Me and my girls used to kick ass at these games. UFC is my favorite. I love to watch it too." "Yep, Jake and Paul have gotten me into it, I think Jake's jealous though cause I make a comment about GSP being hot" Bella giggled, "Well he is!" Alyssa laughed as they brought their purchases to the front and paid for them.
After unloading and getting Alyssa's room set up she and Bella started to get ready to go to La Push. Alyssa was a bit nervous about it but she trusted that Bella didn't hang around with or date losers. "You can do this Alyssa You can go out and have fun and not worry about anything BAD happening" she told her reflection in the mirror and after putting on some makeup to hide her bruises she walked downstairs awaiting the night to come. She could finally say she was HOME.
OK So this chapter wasn't as long as the last but it's a bit of a filler chapter before we move on to her first encounter with the wolf pack. Read nad Review I'd love to hear your thoughts!
