So I know it has been a LONG time since I have updated and here are my excuses (legitimate I might add) as to why.
Number One: I went to the beach with my friend for a week and didn't have any spare time to write because I was also reading my Harry Potter book. And the fact that I had no access to a computer.
Number Two: As soon as I got back from the beach I had to pack again. And three days later I left to get on a plain to go to Alaska for a cruise with my family. (my forth by the way. They are amazing! You should go on one)
Number Three: I got back yesterday night, late and was jet lagged. I had also just gotten my Eclipse book ( I had it delivered to my house while I was gone) and so I started reading that this morning at midnight and finished it tonight at 11:59 pm. It was amazing and I wont say anything about it here in case you haven't read it yet.
So those would be my excuses. I want to thank you all for the reviews! I love to get them! Also I would like to congratulate the people who guessed correctly the BIG thing that I gave away in the last chapter I think it was. Good for you. And to all the people that don't know yet you probably will after this chapter.
Now onto the story:
This chapter is called Little Sister. A song by Queens of the Stone Age courtesy of Kirby.
When the morning came it brought with it the sun and another day of agony. Today there would be no distractions. I got up off the couch reluctantly and walked upstairs. I decided not to avoid it and spent the whole morning with Bella's memory.
When I finally got up it was midday. I had decided to go to the meadow instead of staying inside for the remainder of the day. I might as well enjoy the sun while it's out. I grabbed my keys off the dresser and ran downstairs to my car.
As soon as I pulled up I saw another car sitting there. Upon seeing it my breath caught in my throat and my chest grew tight. It was Bella's truck. I jumped out of the car and ran with all my might towards the meadow.
When I broke through the trees I saw Ella lying in the grass before me, but Bella was no where to be seen.
She sat up and turned to look at me. Her skin was glittering like a diamond. Perfectly brilliant in every way. She was, beautiful. I quickly averted my eyes feeling like I had crossed a line by looking at her that way, but I couldn't keep my eyes away for long. She smiled a gorgeous smile and then waved me over to come sit next to her, and I did.
"Ella, is that your truck parked down there?"
"Yeah why?" she said.
"I was just curious. Where did you get it?" I said anxiously.
"Oh when I woke up after I was changed I needed a car so I picked up a local paper, read the adds, and found a very nice man who sold me the truck. He looked at me funny when I came to get it, but as soon as I saw the truck I feel in love with it. It has personality don't you think?"
"Yes, that it does have." How could Bella's truck still run after all this time?
"So how did you find this meadow?" she asked.
"I've been coming here since the last time I lived in Forks. And what about you? How did you find this place?" I said.
"Honestly I really don't know. I just had a urge to drive somewhere today and some how I got here. But you know, I think I have been here before. It's an odd feeling, to know you have been somewhere before but not remember anything about it." she said as she looked away.
"Yes, that is odd." I said.
We sat there in silence for quite some time enjoying the sunlight. When it started to get dark she got up to leave.
"Where are you going?" I said.
"I was just going to drive around all night. I haven't got a place to stay so I just drive around, until the morning. I keep all of my things in my car."
"You don't have a place to stay?" I said in disbelief.
"Nope, there really isn't a place for a vampire." She laughed half heartedly.
"Well why don't you stay with me. We have a room you can stay in and I am sure Carlisle wouldn't mind." I said.
"No thanks. It's probably very inconvenient for you." she paused and looked at me. "Are you sure that I wouldn't be imposing?" she said, with the smallest hint of worry in her voice.
"I'm sure. Come on you can follow me back to the house in your truck." I said getting up to stand by her.
We both ran through the woods and back to our vehicles. She easily kept up with me. We got in our and I pulled out first so that she could follow me. It was very annoying to have to drive that slow and with every passing mile my temper would rise.
When we got to the house there was someone waiting for me on the front porch, Alice. As soon as she saw Bella's old truck she screamed and ran towards it. She threw open the door and screamed Bella's name before realizing she had the wrong person.
Ella got out of her car and walked over to me, Alice following close behind.
"Edward who is Bella?" She asked.
"Later. Alice this is Ella, and she has no where to stay. So I told her that she could stay with us." I said.
"Oh. Hi Ella. Umm Edward may I talk to you for a minute please?" Alice said.
Before I had a chance to answer Alice grabbed my hand and dragged me into the house leaving Ella outside.
"Edward please tell me where she is going to stay?" Alice said, sounding anxious.
"Well," I said running my hand through my hair. "I thought that she could share your room if Jasper doesn't mind hanging out in my room until I can find Ella a permanent place to stay."
"I don't think Jasper will mind to much. I have ways to make him see reason."
"Okay Alice I don't want to hear about your sex life, so if there is nothing else you want to talk about,"
"Edward does Ella remind you of anyone? Someone we haven't seen in a very long time?"
"No Alice. Why?" Something was up with Alice.
"Oh never mind. Carlisle told me to tell you to see if the hospital has any openings."
"Okay I can do that. Now I have to get back to Ella." I said as I walked outside.
"Ella, Alice said that you can share her room. She can show you where it is and help you settle in."
"Okay thank you Alice. That's very sweet of you." said Ella.
"Oh no problem Bel I mean Ella. Come on and lets leave Edward to himself. I need some girl time anyway."
Alice POV
I winked at Edward and then turned to face Ella. I had a theory and tonight I was going to see how accurate it really is.
"Get your stuff Ella and I will give you the grand tour." I said sweetly.
Ella joined me on the front porch carrying a duffle bag. I was so shocked that my jaw dropped.
"Is that the only clothing you own?" I said, referring to the contents of the duffle bag.
"Well yeah. Plus the ones I'm wearing. Why?" she answered.
"Why? A girl cannot possibly live on one duffle bag of clothes. We are going to have to go shopping." I said matter of factly.
Edward laughed behind us and turned to go inside. I rolled my eyes in response.
"Alice I really don't like shopping and I don't have any money."
"I wasn't going to let you pay anyway. It's all on me." I said and flashed her a smile.
"I can't let you do that Alice. I feel uncomfortable when other people spend money on me. That is really not necessary."
I tried to keep my thoughts from my eyes and face after she said this. It was the first step in proving me right.
"Ella please! I want too! Now come on let's go see the house shall we?"
Well there it is and I really hope you liked it and that it was long enough for you. Please review and keep guessing.
