The Resurrection
Me, Myself, And Bob
I sat outside of the cafeteria. Yes, I never left. I was bored out of my mind and I didn't have anyone to take me to Port Angeles ; I figured Bella would want her truck. I had a box of mint tic tacs that now had a sole survivor. I decided to name it Bob and spare its life for now. Bob and I waited for ages in the frozen solid ground before the final bell finally rang. Either I had something on my face, or this people rarely saw fresh things. Geez.. I made my way towards the Volvo to wait for Isabella and her boyfriend to appear. He shot a questioning look at Izzy as they approached me.
"I thought you'd left..", she stated looking at me with her brow furrowed.
"Well, I was going to but I had nothing better to do so I waited. But, I mean, I can see you're pretty much set for a ride home so I'll just go now." I said, hurriedly walking away.
Once in the truck I again felt I had nothing to do. Someone tapped on the window."HEY, BELLA, NOT RIDING WITH CULLEN TODAY?"
I'd been nodding off so I was pretty startled when the obnoxiously loud voice cut through the silence. I cleared the fogged up window with my sleeve and was greeted by bright blue eyes and blond hair.
"Wait", he paused, examining my face," you're not Bella, who are you?", His eyes were clouded by curiosity.
I rolled the window down, "I'm Haley, her cousin."
"Oh, I'm Mike." Ah.. So this was the loyal puppy Isabella'd talked about. I glanced forward and saw that Izzy and her shadow were about to leave; I decided to follow.
I waved shortly at Mike, said I had to go, and started the truck. The dinosaur awoke from its slumber with a loud roar ; it groaned every now and then on the slippery road. Eventually, we were driving on a path in the forest and though I was ten minutes behind I could still see the tail end of the Volvo. I parked a few trees behind them but they were already inside. Now, most people would interpret "a nagging feeling" as "what are you doing?! leave! " but to me it was something more like, "Get your ass in there! This is gonna be good."
So I did, I walked up to the front door which was opened before I even got the chance to knock. I lowered my hand and and smiled at the blond man with golden eyes that towered over me.
" HI, Is Izzy here?"
"Yes... But who are you?" the in-all-honesty-gorgeous man asked.
Adopting a polite smile I answered,"I'm Haley, her cousin."
"Ah, yes, come in." He further opened the door and motioned for me to go in.
Upon entering the massive house, I was dumbfounded. A beautiful chandelier hung over my head and around me was a comfortable looking living room with a T.V proportional to the house. But none of this was what caught my attention. It was the collage that was visible from down here that hung on the wall leading up the stairs.
"Graduation caps?", I questioned
"Ah, yes.. It's.. They're from past generations."
"Oh, that's..creative." I settled , for lack of a better word.
My cousin's voice interrupted the awkwardness,"Haley?, what are you doing here?"
"Well, you've practically blown me off twice today. So, naturally, I worried because.. well, this is not your usual behavior. Plus I've been here two days and you've practically have barely said hello when I was left out of two years of your life.. Let's just say there's a lot of reasons for why I'm here.", I stated staring at the white, shiny floor.
"Look, the way I behave is not your business, and, as you said I haven't seen you in two years so I have no idea who you are anymore either. I mean, all you do now is sleep, wear black, and listen to that.. that noise all the time. And I'm sorry I don't have time to hang out with you but that's just the way it is.", She said shrugging.
Now that hurt more than I'd ever be willing to admit. I tried to keep my face neutral but I'm sure I failed. "So that's how it's going to be.. because I wasn't there for you when you were forced to visit your dad in Forks, or because every time you came jake threw himself at you. And when you couldn't figure out why your parents separated.. I was there wasn't I?.. And no, I Am not trying to shove it in your face but my family just fucking died and it'd be really cool if I had someone to talk to about it and I thought I could talk to you but apparently I can't..", I picked up my belonging which I had left on the floor," So you know what Isabella, or "Bella", whatever it is you go by now, Fuck You!" I finished my rant by flicking her off and walking out the door. I got into the pick up and drove to Charlie's house to get my stuff. When I parked I realized that my bike was parked at front. Smiling, I got out of the truck and stroked my dear Frankie. Suddenly someone hugged me from behind, and whispered in my ear, "Guess who?"
