"Well Bella. I am happy to say that I may have found you a family." Michelle beamed from across the desk. She shuffled around some papers and looked up at me again "Dr Cullen, and Mrs Cullen. They live in Forks; it's a rather small town. Y'know, in Washington?" My mind had begun to wander and her question dragged me back into the office. "Oh yeah, I've heard of it. So what are these people like?"I asked to make it look as though I was at least slightly interested.
"Well, they deal with troubled teens. They have two biological twins of their own. And then two other children that are adopted. We have set up a meeting for tomorrow afternoon at around 2. So don't get running off."
"Okay. Don't worry about it. I was hoping to have a day in bed anyway." I smiled and left the office. I skipped down the hall to games room and kicked my feet up in front of my TV.
I realised at about 1 o'clock that I was supposed to be going out this afternoon. I then looked down at my appearance. I was in grey sweat pants and a white t-shirt with bean juice down it. Edward peered over from the couch across the room and raised an eyebrow "What fashion statement are you making today? It's cool to miss your mouth?"
"Don't be ridiculous, do you know how much fat are in beans? These we're jack-jack's from lunch. I would never so much as touch a can of beans, let alone eat one." I snapped at him and ran upstairs to get changed and wash my face. When I had pulled on some shorts and a big jumper I jogged to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and laced up my converse. I grabbed my purse and ran for the door, calling out to Michelle as I went.
I lit up a cigarette as I walked to the small industrial park where I was meeting, Jared, Liam, Ben, Katy, and Shannon. I realised that this wasn't just tobacco I was smoking and I'd took out the box of roll ups that Jared had left in my bag. I didn't care, I needed it. I walked into a shop with the cigarette in my mouth. "Hey you can't smoke in here." The guy behind the counter stated, his hand twitching toward his under-the-counter baseball bat. "Don't sweat it, I'm just grabbing some water and I'll be gone." I grabbed a bottle and left the change on the grubby counter. When I arrived I Jared pretended to play the xylophone on my rib cage. I pushed him off and pulled him in for a hug.
In truth, I've always had this little soft spot for Jared. He was gorgeous. He had fair skin with blue eyes and his hair was the colour of dark chocolate. His smile was perfect and straight. Liam and Ben then came over and blocked the small bit of sun that I was lying in. This shocked me and brought me out of my day dream. "What do you want? You're blocking my sun." I spat.
"Okay, never mind. We won't bother giving you any of these delicious alcoholic beverages." Liam joked with me putting on a stupid voice.
"Don't be a dick, give me some!" I protested grabbing for the plastic bag full of glass bottles.
The next time I bothered to look at my watch it was 8 o'clock and it was beginning to get dark. I shivered lightly then felt a pair of arms around me. "Are you cold?" Liam asked. Jared looked over to us and then came over, pushing Liam onto his back. "Let me warm her up, I'm hotter than you." He took his seat and put his arm around my shoulder. "You're freezing. Y'know this wouldn't happen if you had meat on you like everyone else does." He laughed gently. "But you're all so skinny. And then there's just me, so fat and horrible." I sighed, putting my head forward letting my hair shield me.
"I think you're beautiful." Jared said looking directly into my eyes. He was being honest but I still just couldn't bring myself to believe him. I began to protest "I'm really no..." but I was silenced with a kiss...
