CH. 10
(BPOV)
I noticed that Tory was still waiting by Edward's car. I felt so bad that she went through that crappy relationship. I mean Edward has been my first and only boyfriend. I have never had a relationship end badly. I couldn't just let her go and have another man treat her that way. In way I felt like I had an obligation to help her.
"Edward?"
"Yes?"
"Can Tory come stay with us? I know we still have our wedding and…"
"Honey, of course. If you feel like you can handle your self to be by humans, then go ahead. She needs you. She has no family."
"How do you know she has no family?"
I looked at him confused and he smiled and pointed to his head.
"This might get your mind of wedding details as well. Let me worry about it-"
He kissed me before carrying me back to his Volvo and said,
"By the way you and Tory should get to know each other. I'll see you at home. I am in the mood for exercise anyways."
And before I knew it he was gone. I walked back over to Tory and I could tell she was still confused.
"So… you have no family?"
"How did you know that?"
"My boyfriend told me. He can read minds. Why don't you come stay with Edward and I and his family?"
She looked scared. Well we were vampires. I couldn't blame her.
"You don't have too. I know you're scared. I promise they wont hurt you though."
"Well, what choice do I have?"
She laughed and hugged me. This was really a genuine girl. I mean after all that she has been through. She still is so nice.
"How did they die?"
"Zack."
"He killed them? Oh my… I should have killed them myself."
"No, no, it's ok. I had an abusive father and an alcoholic mother. The only pleasure I found was going to school. I think that's why I liked Scott so much because he actually liked me. Although, for the wrong reasons."
"I'm sorry… I don't know what to say."
"It's okay. It's all in the past. So how do you plan on finding this mystery man?"
Hmmm… honestly I didn't know. I just knew that I had to find her one. We arrived at my house and I headed up to my room with Tory following behind me. Edward would have to wait a little while.
"Well… that's a tough one. Here take this."
I gave her a piece of notebook paper and a pen.
"What am I to do now?"
"Write down all the qualities that you would like in a boyfriend."
After about five minutes I had her stop. I looked at her list and she wrote:
Strong
Beautiful
Gorgeous eyes
Loves me for who I am
I laughed and she joined me. This was a beautiful list. And I could really understand the last one.
"Wow… well we better start looking. Oh and by the way do you have any clothes or-?"
She interrupted me by saying.
"No."
"Well, soon you will have so much clothes that you can't even count."
"Why?"
I laughed to myself. She had no idea what she was getting into with Edward sister.
"Be prepared to be pampered, Tory. Alice, Edward's sister loves to shop. She will not stop buying me clothes. I have my two closet full of clothes."
"You really don't have to do this for me."
I went to where she was sitting on the bed and hugged her.
"You don't have to worry. Now lets go over to Edward's, he is probably-"
I was interrupted by an angelic voice.
"Worried sick. Well, you have that right! Why didn't you come home?"
"This is my home too, Edward. And besides we just took a detour."
Tory laughed and Edward and I joined her. We stopped and Edward starting talking again,
"I am driving you girls back to the house. I do not trust me future wife to-be with directions."
I could see Edward smiling. He probably told Esme and Carlisle about Tory. I knew everyone would be okay. I just didn't know about Rosalie. I mean she finally likes me know, but I am bringing another human into the Cullen household. I am glad that Rose and I are friends. I couldn't imagine living with her if I wasn't.
When we reached the house Tory gasped.
"It's so big!"
I laughed, as did Edward. Edward put his arm around my waist and we walked inside. As I suspected all of the family was in the living room waiting. Tory was shy and I practically pushed her into the house.
"Tory this is Alice and Jasper. They are married as are Rosalie and Emmett over there."
I walked over to Carlisle and Esme who had their arms around each other.
"This is Carlisle and Esme practically me second parents. "
Tory was amazed by Carlisle and Esme's youthful appearance. Edward laughed and said,
"Yes he looks young but he is almost three hundred years old."
Then Jasper spoke,
"Yes, we were all adopted as well. Carlisle changed us so we will look like this forever."
"Well, let's not scare the girl." Emmett said with an evil grin on his face.
"Aren't you upset that I know your secret. I mean I am glad that you are okay with me, but I still wonder."
Then Rosalie walked from Emmett's grasp and walked over to Tory. Oh no! Rosalie looked at me and she probably knew what I was thinking and smiled. Edward held me grip tighter as he glared at Rosalie.
"You see I was mad at Bella for a long time, because of the fact that she was human. But, after I saw how much Bella and Edward really loved each other."
Edward smiled and kissed me cheek.
"What does that have to do with me?"
"I hated Bella because she was human, because I was jealous. Also for her knowing our secret. But, she didn't care what we were. She loved out family unconditionally. As I suspect you do too. So, I will not interfere."
"Thank you so much, all of you for giving me a home and a family. Thanks Bella for being there for me today. Even though I just met you I feel like I have known you my whole life."
"Welcome to the family, Tory!" Carlisle said with open arms.
Sorry for such a short chapter. At least I wrote one. If you read you can see hints in the story. That's all I'm going to say! Review!
