The Flat
As we walked up to the block of flats, i was thinking how my room would lok like. I love to decorate my rooms. When i was younger i always used to steal my mums home magazines and next to each of my favourite things i would place a small tick next to it. This always made her smile as she loved knowing i take interest in what she does for a living. She was an architect as you can guess. But i gave up on decorating my rooms when my mum died it was too much of a memory that always ended up with me in tears.
I am terrified for my new beggining. Yep. Thats what i think of moving to Forks. A new beggining. So ive decided because its my new beggining i should have a new slate right? i should enjoy the things i never did before. Im going to start decorating my room. eee im so excited. I love the feel of designing a room to your mood and then when you actaully see it complete there are like sparks in your belly from the joy of just seeing it really there. does that sound weird?
I looked down to see Mels hand intertwined with mine. she gives it a tight squeeze meaning its ok. god i hope so. I just realised i left my bags in the back of Carlisles car. I let go of Mels hand and rushed back to the car to collect them. But as i turned i saw Carlisle very easily holding all 4 bags. huh?
"do you need some help?" he looked up at me startled that i saw him. He then crouched and made a groaning sound.
"no, i...think....i...can...manage" alrighty. i swear he was fine a minute ago
"let me just take one bag its the least i can do" He stared at me and one of his eyebrows raised. He broke out into a smile and said
"ok, sure you can take the lightest one" well that doesnt seem fair.
"why? i should take the heaviest one so you have three light ones to make up for one heavy one so its not heavy!" I heard a snigger behind me and turned to Mel to see her casually leaning on the door.
" just take it!" i saw her mouth with no sound comign out of her mouth. Groaning i said
"ugh! Fine." Carlisle smiled. I took the bag and went towards the entrance. there were 5 buzzers with different numbers next to each. 23,24,25,26,27.
"which one is it?" i asked loudly as i thought Carlisle was far behind me. Suprisingly he wasnt he was right
next to me.
" 27" THE HIGHEST ONE! thats alot of stairs."But dont worry theres an elevator" he answered my unpoken worry. i sighed in relief and he opened the door and made his way to the elevator leading the way while Mel and I followed.
We got in the elevator dragging our bags with us-with great effort minus carlisle- and pressed floor 5. As we were going up Mel kept giving me strange looks and i looked over at Carisle who tried to hide a smirk.
"what?" i whispered too low for Carlisle to hear. But Mel just pointed to her lip and started tapping it.
i gave her a confused look but she just looked away smirking.
God my sisters weird. The elevator came to a halt. I looked at Carlisle and he gave me an encouraging nod and i got out the elevator with Mel.
"here." he said giving me a shiny opject with a hole through the top. It was short and silver. The key. It was the key to the apartment!
I took it from him and went to number 27. As i turned the key i saw Mel from the corner of my eye jumping up and down. i just rolled my eyes and then the door swung open to reveal a big spacious room with a small television in the corner and one furnished sofa that was L shaped and a rich red colour. It contrasted well with the wall. I saw a small table with 2 glasses and a vase of red flowers. It was stunning. So simplistic.
" The Kitchen and bedrooms are just round there." We let go of our bags and ran round the courner which was a long hall and at the end revealed a big black marble kitchen. i opened the cupboards to find some white plates and cups already in them.
"ahhhhh" i heard a loud screech from the bedroom. I ran towards them and saw Mel stretching on the bed smiling to herself. I laughed a little and she stood up.
"what? its comfy!" i looked around and saw 2 simplistic beds with a cover with pink splodges on them and a wooden desk in the corner with a fixed at least thats Mels style somewhere. At least she likes it.
"it sure is" i turned around to see Carlisle there watching Mel in amusement and i let out a snort of laughter at mels embarressed face.
"Ava, can you come with me i need to talk to you." Carlisle said in a serios tone.
"mmhm" i answered looking to my feet. "."i said to Mel and saw her humph. I followed him to the living room and sat on one of the dining table chairs opposite him.
"do you like it?" He asked a little worried.
"Of course! I love it, Thank you so much for what you're doing. Im so glad my dad had you as a friend."
and i was really. without him i wouldnt have this amazing flat.
"My pleasure. Sorry if its a little too much my daughter decided she wanted to help decorate" he said embarressed.
"no no its fine she has good taste." i smiled and he smiled back.
"Listen i want you to know im not rushing you or anything but i am worried for your education and Mels."
I gave him a confused look and he carried on.
"I signed you up for Forks and they were so impressed by your grades they offered a scholorship. So im just asking you dont have to but do you want to?" i just stared at him speechless. A scholorship?. A SCHOLORSHIP? wow.
"huh. wow. really i have nothing to say. i would love to.." Carlisle looked up and smiled. He remind me of my dad. hes a really big father figure.
"but what about mel?" His smile went and he looked straight at me.
"She'll have to go to a school further away. But i thought it would be okay cause i thought i could take her in the mornings and..." oh no.
"NO! i mean..no. dont worry shes old enough ill ask her if she could take a bus. I saw a bus station just down the road its fine. which school is it?" He looked up at me worridly.
" if you're sure.A school in Port Angeles quite close to here but further away from your school." i thought for a minute. new slate. new slate. shes old enough i have to learn to trust her.
"okay. Ill ask her later."
"are you sure its ok? I can take her its really no big deal" he said looking up at me as if i might break down.
"yer..yer im sure. it would be too much of a hassle for you." I looked up to his eyes and saw they werent the same colour more a darker golder colour.
"do you wear contacts?" i blurted. god i have to stop blurting things out like that.
"no, why?" JUST END IT. stop the conversation.
"erm..no reason." i said looking down at my brightly coloured socks.
"ok. Ill be off then. School starts tomorrow better get ready." he said with a smile
"wait. WHAT? don ti have to fill in forms and stuff?" he laughed
"haa no you dont. i already filled them i had a...feeling...you would say yes." right. well that was easy.
"er..ok..ill ask Mel then" But he interupted.
"Already Filled hers out too." he said with a smirk. UH!
"but...ugh. fine ok im still telling her she has to take a bus!" i said with a laugh. I can be really comfortable with Carlisle hes like my dad in so many ways. the way he jokes about and how fartherly he is.
"ok. you do that." he said finally and opened the door and gracefully stepped out. wait. i have to ask him something about my dad. he never answered. I ran to the door and opened it.
"CARLISLE!" i shouted and he turned around with a smirk. does he know?he HIM. TELL HIIMMM.
"thanks...for everthing" WHATTT? gosh im stupid.
"its alright. Oh and about the rent.." i gulped ok give me the digits.
"im paying for a bit of it so the total you have to pay is..."
HUH. that seems easy enough. ill just get a job and i can pay them easily. i thought it was going to be so much more.
"oh..ok..thanks il pay it at the end of the month" He smiled said one last ok and your welcome and seriosuly its ok with a smirk and walked away. This is going to be so GREAT!
