last chapter:
"wow bells, are you actually hungover. It would explain the dizziness and the headache" he mused
"no, it's just early ok" I grumbled whilst kicking jasper when he tried to pump some truth into me
"ow what was that for?" jazz moaned
Deciding just to send him a glare I turned over and pretended to sleep through their car karaoke session.
"c'mon our flight leaves soon" shouted Alice whilst running towards the doors. Sighing I heaved myself out of the car door and picked up my bags.
now:
"where's all your stuff?" asked em in the most innocent voice
"I pack light" is all I said whilst Alice gave me a knowing look.
Walking up to her I breathed, "you didn't tell them, did you?"
"nope" was all I got in response
"why...?" is as far as I got before Alice interrupted
"I think it's better a surprise"
"why, what did you see?"
After a minuet she gave me an annoyed glair and mumbled "nothing, nothing at all. It's like somethings blocking me" then stormed in the direction of jasper
Ater the gruelling flight Alice chose out two sports cars for us to drive.
"I get the yellow one" shouted emmet trying to snatch the keys from Alice.
"actually, Bella gets the yellow one, seeming's she knows where to go and I will follow in the green one, got it?" she said tauntingly
"but Bella will crashhhh" he said in a pleading voice
"I'll show you crash in a minuet" I grumbled before grabbing the keys out of allice's hand.
"Bella" Alice called as I walked away, "don't"
I guess that's my plan out the window I thought to myself as I hopped in. Jasper and Edward climbed in behind me. Pulling out the sun glasses from my bag and sliding them on I heard both Edward and jasper praying to god I dint flip the car. Jeez d they not have any faith in my driving.
Reving the engine I checked behind me before reversing the car out of the garage doors. Then flipping the steering wheel I did a 180 and pressed on the gas. Oh how I missed being able to drive like an utter lunatic. I was nearing 150mph when I spotted a popular cop hangout spot. Ether I can slow down or go faster, and there was no way I was slowing down. "Up to 200 it is then" I murmured quietly.
"love maybe you should slow down?" Edward called from the back seat.
"can't sorry" I replied in a bored voice
"why?" jasper questioned sounding genuinely curious
"see that turning on the right, that is where the cops are. Meaning its slow down or speed p. if your over 200 the cops in phoenix won't even try to follow you." I shouted back
"you seem to know this way too well Bella" murmured jasper as I smirked
Twenty minutes later we pulled Infront of my darling mother's house. I'm really going to enjoy this. Sensing my dread jasper pumped some confidence into me and gave me a reassuring smile.
"you know we don't have to see your mom today" Edward announced after undoubtably reading jaspers thoughts about my dread
"it's ok, I have to do it sometime I guess, just don't listen to a word she says. Got it?" I shot back before climbing out of the car and taking off my sunglasses. No use looking hungover to my already suspicious mom.
All the Cullen's weighted by their cars to give us the allusion of privacy but I knew they could probably still hear even the faintest whisper. Taking a breath, I knocked three times
"Bella" a voice called whilst stepping out onto the front door step. the last time I had been here renne had made it abundantly clear that wasn't ever aloud to step through those doors again so I guess this was her compromise. Pulling me into a hug she asked "why are you here bitch?"
"just being friendly, you being my mom and all" I snickered knowing she hated me calling her that
"really Bella, why are you here. I bet your tired of whoring yourself out and to come back. I said no once you know what the answer will be this time to." she whispered angrily whilst still holding me in a hug
"I'm not a whore but it's not like you would know anyways would you. I'm here with my family and they wanted to see you. So, play nice, I have a lot more on you than you have on me bitch" I finished in a deadly calm tone
Finally pulling away she waved at the now very agitated Cullen's. "hey guys it's nice to meet you, we'll have to catch up soon" she said in the most plasticly fake voice possible
"of corse..." replied rose in a somehow worse voice
"well give me a ring if you want me over" renne continued cutting straight over rose, "sorry I have food in the over that I really must go take out. Nise seeing you Bella"
Before I could get a word in she had closed the door. "what a bitch" I mumbled to myself as I made my way back over to the cars.
"you don't say, she didn't even let me talk. And the things she whispered to you" rose exclaimed in rage
"rose, chill its nothing new" I soothed trying to make her not eat my biological mom
"how can she treat you that way, what mother would" she started
Before she could finish and get all depressed or angry I announced, "get in the cars, I'll explain when we get to where were going kay?"
After murmurs of agreement I hopped back into my car for the twenty minuet drive away from my mom's. Finally arriving in silence I pulled out the keys to the garage and bleeped the doors open. It was empty apart from a tarped object in the corner.
"what's that?" asked jasper pointing to my pride and joy
"my baby" I replied easily
"Bella it's a tarp" Edward said confused
"ah but its what's under the tarp" I said in lovesick voice
Pulling in after the other car I jumped out and went over to the tarp. Ripping it off a beautiful Ducati stood in all its glory.
"why did you get a bike shipped here?" asked rose
"ah come inside it's a long story" I answered making all the Cullen's except Alice confused
"you know something" screamed emmet whilst pointing at Alice aghast
"she knows everything sugar, that's why you never bet against a physic" I replied
"wow this place is nice" commented jasper after being led up many flights of stairs and through a couple hallways to the penthouse flat at the top of the building. Happy to be home I walked into my room and dumped all my stuff on the bed. I was looking at an old picture of me and Dannie when I heard a scream from the living room
"oh my god bells in the picture"
Finally, I thought to myself as I walked towards the sound of commotion. Seeing utter chaos I shouted, "do not break my shit"
"wait this is yours?" rose asked
"was wondering how long it would take" I smiled back
"what, how?" Edward started before I cut him off
"c'mon to the kitchen, the humans hungry"
Once we had all successfully stood around the kitchen island and I had a box mac n cheese I started, "well my mom's a bitch, you all saw that. She started kicking me out and I would always crash at my friend Dannie's cuz he was in the same situation. One day we had enough of it and I withdrew all my mom's money and bought this place. I said I spent all the money on drugs," I chuckled.
Before I could continue my story however there was a knock at the door.
"whoever it is there crying" jasper stater
"it's good you guys stay here" I sighed before opening the door to a very distraught looking boy
"hello um are you Bella?" he sniffled
"yeh sweetie, let me guess it's your first time?" I said in the softest voce possible
"yeh, I don't... I don't really know what to do. Some guy just gave me your address" he stammered still crying
"let's start with your name" I soothed whilst pulling him in for a hug. Amedialy he clung onto me.
"Dilan, please help me" he replied now hysterically crying
"always, let get you fed kay" I said whilst picking him up and placing him on my hip. Even if he was 12, I knew that there was no way he would be letting go any time soon.
"Bella, what's going on?" asked rose in a protective and concerned way. I knew she always wanted kids so to see on of us must have been heart-breaking
"I'm sorry," Dilan wailed, "I didn't know you had people over. I can go?"
"no please stay, they are here to help too" I cooed whilst brushing his slightly overgrown hair
Talking to him about random things the whole time I microwaved another box meal and handed it to him. All of the Cullen's sat around in amazement and concern as I managed to get a few laughs from the boy. Finally, he was finished as I announced
"bed time for the child, we'll talk in the morning and see where to go from here okay?"
After receiving a nod, I stood up with his still in the same place as before and carried him to one of the smaller rooms with bunkbeds in. after a few more laughs and a tuck in I turned out the light and left. a small thank you graced my ears as I walked down the hallway back to the kitchen.
The entire time that I reheated my meal the Cullen's stood there shocked. Only the final beep of the microwave seemed to break them from there trance.
"why is a chid sleeping in your house?" emmet asked I'm a much more serious manner than normal
"and why was he so upset?" rose asked in a motherly voice
"and what just happened?" Alice exclaimed
"shh Alice there's someone sleeping in there, I'll explain it all ok" I quickly and quietly responded. Taking a second to gater my thoughts I once again started, "I had been on the streets for a bit by the time I managed to get this place and it broke my heart to see how many other kids there were, so when I got this place I handed out the address to the older guys on the streets to give to kids who have just got kicked out. it gives them a bed and some food, it's not a lot but it's safe. That boy is called Dilan. he just got kicked out for the first time and was lucky enough to wander past one of my guys. when I'm not here Dannie runs the place but I own it. Simple really." I stated
"woah" emmet said first, breaking the other Cullen's out of there shocked silence
"that's... really nice of you Bella" rose murmured
"I do my best" I replied with a small smile in er direction
"I had no idea you had it that bad" Edward whispered solemnly
"hey it's not that bad, really. I have my own house for gods' sakes and if I can help out someone who was in my position all those years ago, all the better." I soothed whilst rubbing his bac lovingly
After a few more minutes of idle chat a knocking on the door brought us into silence
"maybe it's another kid?" questioned rose
"nah here the footsteps, that's a pissed of adult" I observed
Before anyone else could speak motioned then to all be quiet as I approached the door. The knocking rung through the house furiously now as whoever was outside began to lose their temper.
"who are you?" I asked in a clod voice through a crack in the now open door
"have you seen a young boy named Dilan?" the young woman asked. She had on a cheap blond wig and barley any clothes, it was obvious to anyone that she was a hooker and a crappy mother
"n I haven't sorry, who gave you this address might I ask?" I asked in the same tone as before
"some woman saw a boy who looks like Dilan come in this building, to your address. Where is my child?" she demanded, raising her voice at the end
Before I had time to react the womans eyes locked on the small boy that had just wandered out of his room. She barged past me, overthrowing my small frame and grabbed his arm roughly
"there you are child, the fuck do you think you are doing running away from me like that. And what makes you think to go into a stranger's house, she will obviously wan something from us you stupid boy." shouted the woman whilst yanking his arm so hard I heard a distinct pop by the end of her speech.
"let go of him" I icily demanded, enjoying the sight of a shiver run through the woman
"he is my son" she shouted however showing a bit of her increasing fear
"what mother kicks out a child, manhandles him and calls him stupid and worthless like you have all done in one night. You are no good for this boy and if you ever lay a hand on him again, I will kill you" I replied after pulling out the handgun from the back of my pants and pointing it at her
Instantly she dropped the boy's arm, wish he cradled carefully, and raised her hands. Getting bored of her slow movements I backed her towards the door before shutting it in her face and locking it. Finally, free of the demon mother I slid the gun beside the mail on a small table and hurried over to a very spooked Dilan.
"hey baby, I'm so sorry. Are you ok" I rushed whilst kneeling Infront of him?
"shoulder" he whimpered seemingly unable to form a sentence at the moment
"let me take a look" I soothed whilst carefully touching his obviously popped out shoulder. Without warning I yanked his arm up causing him to cry out in pain but also for the socket to realign
"thanks" he muttered after a while, feeling the pain retract
"it's what I'm here for, anything else hurt?" I asked softly whilst wiping a tear of his face
"I'm good" he sighed, "can I go back to sleep?"
"of corse sweetie, lemme get you tucked in" I replied, happier now that I knew he was ok
