Here it is Chapter 3 sorry it took so long I sort of lost my inspiration for the story but no worries I found it. So read enjoy and don't forget to review.
Oh almost forgot I don't own the characters just the idea.
The long car ride was a blur. Mary-Lynnette slept through most of it and when she wasn't sleeping she stared out the window into the darkness. It was three in the morning when they reached Forks. Her father parked in front of a house that took Mary-Lynnette a few moments to recognize as Charlie's. It looked exactly the same as it did the last time she was here when she was 10, when her mom was still alive.
She got out of the car, her dad did the same and grabbed her bag before Mary-Lynnette could object. She had started walking up the wet walkway towards the house when the front door opened to reveal her uncle Charlie.
"Wow Mare is that really you? You sure have grown up". Charlie said as I walked closer. "Yep, it's me," she said shrugging her shoulders.
"Hey, Charlie you look good," her father said walking up behind her.
"Same to you Matthew. Come on guys". Charlie opened the door further so they could enter the house.
It really was the same, Charlie hadn't changed anything about the house. Mary-Lynnette walked further into the house, and into the living room Charlie and her father followed suit. They sat and chatted for awhile and it was around 6 when her father announced he needed to start heading back.
"So... You still starwatch?", Charlie asked after several moments of silence after her father left.
"Yep", she replied. She and Charlie sat in quiet for a few minutes. Charlie cleared his throat and got up.
"I'm just gonna go see if Bella is up yet." And with that she was alone. Mary-Lynnette looked around the small living room until her gaze stopped on the mantle where Charlie had put a number of pictures. But only one photo caught her eye, a big family portrait. In the photo were her parents, Charlie and Renee all smiling in back, and in the front was Bella and Mary-Lynnette sitting on a picnic blanket with their arms hooked, and Mark sat a little further back giving the ever inseparable cousins some space.
We were so close once. Mary-Lynnette thought remembering all the summers she had driven up to Forks or flown to Phoenix to spend a week or two with her cousin. That all stopped when mom died. She was so caught up in her thoughts she never heard Bella come down the stairs. She nearly jumped when she heard her cousin.
"Hey Mare." A female voice behind her said. Mary-Lynnette got off the couch and turned to her cousin. "Hey Bells."
Bella looked different. The light in her eyes was gone, she looked like she'd suffered some great trauma. She held her arms around her almost like she was holding herself together. Mary-Lynnette barely recognized this seemingly fragile girl as the strong self sufficient, independent young woman who was her cousin.
She had no idea though that her cousin was thinking the same thing as herself.

Bella wasn't easily shocked but she definitely was when Mare turned around to look at her. Her blue eyes once so sharp that always had a certain light in them that showed off how cunning and smart she is, were dull and practically lifeless. Even when Aunt Karen, Mare's own mother had died she hadn't looked so...so.. dead. Something truly awful must have happened to her. Bella felt instantly protective and wanted to hurt any one who made her cousin this ghost of her former self.
Bella walked around the couch and pulled her cousin into a hug.
"It's good to see you." Mare said
"It's good to see you too."
