Time Will Tell- Chapter 2
Well, I'm extraodinarily sorry that it's taken me so long... but I'm back. Thank you for all your support, it's more than I could've ever asked for.

I ran my fingers through my younger sisters chocolate curls tenderly as she lay her sleeping head on my lap. The flight wasn't long, but my baby sister seemed to have a knack for dozing off in any situation. Leaning my head back against the slightly less comfortable pillow then my sibling has aquired I looked up to notice the flashing seatbelt light. With a sigh of relief I poked the sleeping forms sides, causing her eyes to flash open in shock.
"Bella!" She groaned, causing me to laugh. Sitting up she rubbed her eyes, causing her eyeliner to smudge. "What was that for?" She yawned, freezing swiftly as if remembering her now raccoon-like makeup, she leaned down to rustle in her bag to find her mirror.
"You're an idiot." I snorted as she watched with horror at her relfection. "I woke you up because we're almost there, and no offense G, but you're not fun when you've just woken up. Charlie won't like that." Once her makeup resembled something semi-normal she put her compact mirror back in her bag and looked at me with narrowed emerald eyes. With that look she looks scarily like our mom.
"Seriously? Why don't you just call him 'Dad' like a normal person?" She asked, her tone far from nice. My reply was a simple shrug before I leant my head back, waiting for the altitude change to cause the unpleasant pop in my ears. "It's not like he abandoned us or anything! He just..." To block out her rants I placed my iPod earphones in and turned up my music to the loudest it would go. Wit an aggitated sigh Georgia turned her glare from me to the seat infront of her.
Once we hit the tarmac things moved pretty quickly, we disembarked from the plane and grabbed our luggage from the conveyor belt. Charlie was waiting for us at the terminal's gate, standing awkwardly in his Police Chiefs uniform. I used my free hand to restrain Georgia from running off to him, I didn't want any attention drawn to us due to her antics. I pull out my earphones and let them swing from my pocket as we made our way toward him. Personally I think Charlie looks good for his age, he still as all of his curly, brown hair, his smile still causes two dimples to cave into his cheeks, and he has the same chocolate brown eyes as myself. I'm actually a lot like him, we're both socially awkward, I inherited his hair and eyes, but I have my mothers smile and shape. Georgia on the other hand has mom's outgoing personality and her green eyes, the rest of her is completely dad, she's curvier than me and has his rich curls. Some say she's the better sister, but everytime she hears that she snorts and rolls her eyes.
"There are my girls." Charlie half smiled at us in welcome, his arms almost immediatley locking behind his back as he makes no other advance to welcome us. Of course as Georgia's arms wrap around his waist in a tight embrace he drops the facade and hugs her back tightly, lifting his chin slightly to rest ontop of her head. She has him around her little finger.
"Daddy!" She cooed into his chest before pulling back, her height almost matched his 5'10". His gaze fell on me and he coughed gently before dropping his arm from Georgia's shoulders.
"How you doing Bells?" He asked gently, his hand sinking deep into his pants pockets.
"I'm good thanks Dad." He nods gently before looking over his shoulder.
"Right then... We'd best be on our way then." He cleared his throat before turning over his shoulder and walking towards the carpark. With a look to my sister we both followed closely, hoisting our bags with us. Upon reaching the carpark we let out a simultaneous groan at the site of the dirty cruiser.
Before I could even think about it, Georgia had thrown her bags into the trunk and had hopped into the passenger seat. With another annoyed groan I mimicked her actions before sliding into the backseat, narrowing my eyes at the back of her head.
"Something wrong, Belly-kins?" She turned over shoulder to smile brightly at me.
"No! Of course not," I replied, my voice laced with sarcasm, "just my 16 year old sister has stolen the front seat." I pushed my knees into the back of her chair playfully as she laughed.
"Whatever, being 17 doesn't give you automatic shotgun, you know?" She turned back as Charlie got into the drivers seat and pulled away from the parking lot.

When we finally reached the house I looked up at it, a grin on my face as I see that nothing from my childhood home has changed. The tire swing that used to hang on the old oak next to our house was still there, which gave me cause to laugh. Grabbing my bags and throwing them over my shoulder I skip up to the door and waited for my dad.
"Ouch!" The cry was followed by a thud, causing me to turn around to see Bella sprawled across the floor, her bags surrounding her. My eyes widened before I burst out laughing.
"Bella! Are you alright?" Dad ran to her aid and helped her up as I stood there, doubling over with laughter. With a glare sent in my direction she took his hand and pulled herself up, her cheeks coloured red with embarrasment.
"Fine Char... Dad." She brushed off the mud from her pants and picked up her bags as dad let us in. I skipped up to the room that me and Bella always shared to find it had actually changed since we last came here. Gone were the ever present pastel pinks and lilacs, in there place where deep purples and pure whites. Moving into the room I perched on my bed and ran my fingers over the velvet purple covers, smiling as I notice the hanging picture of a white wolf that Billy Black gave my dad. I'd always admired the photo, so dad had hung it in our room, much to Bella's disgust.
"I changed your room a bit, you like purple right?" Charlie asked as he nervously showed Bella in.
"Purples cool... Thanks" Bella replied nochalently. With a nod of his head Charlie left without another word. I sigh and give my elder sister a pointed look. "What?" She snapped.
"You could atleast try and make it less awkward you know?" She looked down and sat on her bed rubbing her forehead.
"Sorry... Look, I'm gonna sleep. Unlike you, I didn't sleep all the way here, and we've got school tomorrow." She lay back onto her bed and closed her eyes. With a huff of annoyance I too laid back against my pillows.
The Next Day
BPOV
Being new students is bad enough, but when you're the Chief's infamous daughters, and you're starting in the middle of the semester... That's never good. As I pulled the old truck Charlie had given me into the parking lot I looked over at Georgia nervously. I had opted to wear a pair of black skinnies, a green long-sleeved shirt and boots, along with my thick parka. Georgia however had gone for a completely different look, she had worn leggings, a short black skater skirt, a white tank top, purple hoodie and black converse, her hair was wild around her -thankfully- makeup free face.
"Ready to go?" I asked, grabbing my rucksack from the footwell, she nods and grabs her shoulder bag and slips from the car, moving wuickly to stand beside me. Even though she's taller than me, she uses me as some form of protection. "Right... Charlie said we had to go to reception." I link my arm with hers and lead her toward what looked like that main hall. With a slim chance of luck, we got the right building and were soon given our timetables. Georgia was smart and had been moved up into my year, which gave her cause to smirk. Rolling my eyes I checked the time and realised we had a while until our first lesson. Looking around for a place to sit I was stopped by a grinning face.
"Hey! I'm Mike, you two must be the Chief's daughters right?" I was quite taken aback by the enthusiasm, but nodded none-the-less to his question.
"I'm Bella. This is my little sister Georgia." I answered, gesturing to her over my shoulder. His eyes left mine for a moment to register her before turning back to me. I heard Georgia scoff behind me but didn't acknowledge it.
"Well, it's great to meet you both. Where are you both for first?" He leaned over my to have a look at our timetables. "P.E. and Drama? Who would want to do Drama?" He sneered slightly before the timetable was ripped from his view.
"What's wrong with people who like drama?" Georgia asked, her green eyes duling from their shine as she started to get defensive.
"Nothing, nothing... Just not my favourite subject, is all." Mike replied swiftly, raising his hands to show he meant no offense. With a sniff Georgia grabbed her bag and map and walked off towards her first lesson.
"I'll see you at Lunch." she called over her shoulder to me before she turned around a corner and out of my site. Frowning I turn and look to Mike who was beaming at me.
"I have P.E. first too! Come on, I'll show you." He hoisted his bag higher up his shoulder and started walking, expecting me to follow. With a resigned sigh I did.
The first four periods crept by and I met a few new people. In first I hit a girl named Jessica in the back of the head with a volley ball, but she simply laughed it off. In my English class I met a girl named Angela, she was quiet and I found her slightly better company than the others. In second period calculus I met two boys named Eric and Ben, both were slightly nerdy but seemed harmless.
When it came to lunch I walked into the cafeteria with Jessica, who pulled me towards a table filled with familiar faces. Angela, Ben, Mike and Eric all looked up and smiled at me.
"Hey Bella, how was the rest of your day?" Ang asked gently, smiling all the while. I simply replied with a shrug of my shoulder and a smile. I looked up and scanned the room, my eyes soon landing on my sister.
"Georgia! Over here." I called as quietly as I could, she looked up and her eyes brightened as she made her way over to me. I moved over slightly as she sat next to me and placed a soda and an apple infront of me. "Thanks." I laughed as I grinned at her. "Everyone this is my little sister, Georgia Swan. Georgia this is everyone." I introduced her quickly, knowing she'd make friends soon enough. She always did.
"Hey." She replied as she smiled brightly at everyone. I noticed that Eric perked up a bit more when Georgia sat down. She looked down and picked at her pack of chips. With a sigh I look around and notice a group of students walk in.
"Who are they?" I ask Jessica as I gesture towards them, she looked over her shoulder and turned back, grinning broadly.
"They're the Cullens. The pretty blonde girl, that's Rosalie Hale, she's with the big black haired guy, Emmett Cullen. Behind them, the pixie-like girl is Alice Cullen, she's with Edward Cullen the tall brunette. The guy behind them is Jasper Hale, Rosalie's twin. He's completely gorgeous, single and totally not interested in anyone here." She sniffed, clearly a sign of sour grapes.
"Wait... You said that they're all the Cullens.. How?" I frowned, thinking through the idea of incest.
"No! They're all adopted my Doctor Cullen. He is really nice, and also a complete hotty! I can't believe he's not married." At that her eyes went into a dreamy state, and knowing I'd lost her I turned to Georgia who was suddenly stiff and staring foward.
"Georgia?" I frowned and nuged her arm, snapping her back to reality. "You alright?" I whispered, slightly worried at her reaction. She simply nodded.
"I'm fine... It's just, I feel like I know him." She nods towards the tall blonde at the back... Jasper.

I watched him as he sat with his family across the cafeteria from us, I don't know what it was but as soon as I saw him it was like I knew him.
As if he had heard us talking about him he looked up and met my gaze. My heart stopped for a moment before picking up double speed.
His eyes, like melted amber, slightly darker around the edges burned into mine as if he was searching my soul. His dirty blonde hair fell in curls just above his eyes, as if daring someone to go and brush it back. His face looked like it was made from the purest alabaster. His clothes were simple, a blue shirt, white jacket and matching pants. But he made them work, and I knew that any model in the world would be incredibly jealous of him.
"Georgia?" I felt Bella nudge me again to snap me from my thoughts, and I reluctantly looked to my side to look at her. "You alright?" She frowned, looking worried. I nod.
"I'm fine... It's just, I feel like I know him." I nod towards Jasper, noting with dissapointment that he was now looking down into his plate of untouched food. Bella followed my eyeline and nodded with me as if she understood. At that moment the other blonde, the gorgeous blonde girl rose up and moved infront of Jasper, blocking my view of him. She leant down to whisper something in his ear before she stood up, flipped her hair and strode out of the cafateria, all the boys eyes following her as she went.
A booming laugh brought my eyes back to the table as I noticed the hukling guy, Emmett, nearly tipping his chair back with laughter. He stood up and grabbed both his and the girls trays, placing them on one of the many racks in the cafateria before jogging out after her. Before he left he caught my eye, grinning broadly he winks and leaves.
"Oh my gosh... Did Emmett Cullen just wink at you?" A girl with platinum blonde hair who was sat opposite me glared at me as if I made him do it.
"I guess." I replied, shrugging it off as I looked down, blushing into my soda.
"Hmph. What makes you so special?" She quipped. At that comment I stood up quickly, standing to my full height and glared down at her. I wrapped my hand around my half empty can of soda and tipped it over her head.
"Bitch." I snarled at her before turning and leaving. Behind me I heard laughter and catcalling, even some clapping as the girl squealed and snarled at the table.
JPOV
I knew she was here. I'd caught a glimpse of her this morning, the idiot Mike had insulted her choice of class, it seemed. That made me angry. No one insults my girl! Edward had to grab my shoulder to prevent me from going after him.
"It's not worth it." He had said, shaking his head at me.
I knew that, my being in the year above her and her sister, I wouldn't have any lessons with her. However, Edward was in her biology. As we made our way to the lunch hall he told me about her.
"She's cool dude, really passionate about her subjects... and exceedingly oppinionated. You should've heard the way she talked to the teacher about the stimulus." He laughed, and I could feel the admiration rolling off of him. That's my girl. She would fit right in the the family. "Watch it Jazz, she may have been your girl then.. But remember what Carlisle said, they have their own choice now."
"I know." I sighed, running my hand through my hair to brush it off my face, before we entered I heard her sister calling her name. Clenching my fists I looked down and followed my siblings into the overcrowded room. Immediatley I felt everyones emotions shift, from relaxed to curious or lustful. Humans. My ears picked up when I heard a girl, Jessica I think her name was, talking about us to Bella.
We sat down at our usual table, the truly disgusting human food infront of us as a form of pretense. I looked around my siblings, Alice's bright eyes stared at me and I could feel her excitement. She was in a clear line at watching both of the girls and it was killing me. At last I couldn't take it anymore and I turned around to look at her.
I froze.
What met me was almost heartbreaking. The same pure emerald eyes, the same brunette curls, her face was slightly fully, more oval than heartshape, and her body... I don't remember having that many curves. She was beautiful, sexy, gorgeous... She was perfect. Her sister pulled her back from looking at me, causing me to growl under my breath in annoyance. I snapped my eyes abck to my plate and just glared at the food. Rose huffed in annoyance and stood up, stalking around to me.
"Go talk to her if you're that annoyed. For God's sakes, Jasper. Stop being such an idiot." She flipped her hair and strutted from the room, leaving me staring dumbstruck after her. Em's side-splitting laughter brought me back and I turned to glare at him.
"Damn bro, you gotta it bad for Miss Swan!" He said, just low enough for me to hear it. I simply sneered at him in response. He grabbed his tray and dumped it before walking out after Rose, winking at my girl as he went. I could feel her shock and could smell the blood rising into her cheeks. Immediatley my nails dug into my palms as I stopped breathing.
"Hmph. What makes you so special?" I heard the blonde girl, Lauren, snap and turned in time to watch as Georgia lifted her soda and chucked it over the blonde's head.
"Bitch." She sneered at her before storming out of the room. The room fell about laughing and catcalling at Lauren, myself joining them at finally seeing what Edward meant.
"See! I told you she and Rose would be great friends!" Alice clapped and giggled as she curled into Edwards side, who nodded in agreement.
"A match made in heaven, don't you think?" My brother grinned at me, his eyes taunting me. I felt a shift in the mood and turned to Alice, watching as her eyes glazed over and she was pulled into another vision. Edward closed his eyes, watching in on the vision himself. When his eyes opened he narrowed them towards the now soaked blonde. "You may want to keep an eye on that one. If she continues the way she is... Georgia may get wet in return by the end of the day."
I turned and snarled again, rising from my seat I walk out from the room and follow Georgia's scent.

Patience has always been one of my strong points, but now I was losing it. Pacng in my office I felt like it was getting harder and harder to keep my sanity. My Bella was here, she was back and within my reach. But I couldn't see her. It was driving me insane and the contents of my desk had been swept to the floor hours ago in my frustrations. With a growl I looked down at my watch and noticed it was the end of my shift and that my children would be finishing school in ten minutes. Calculating in my head I noted that I could go and pick them up in that time.
With a grin I ripping my srubs off and pulled on my jacket and scarf, picking up my keys to my black mercedes I left the hospital and hopped in. Driving faster than I normally do throughout the town I reach the school just as the first few students start to leave. I pull up next to Rosalie's red convertible and step out to lean against the front of my car, waiting for my children. Noticing the looks I got from some of the younger girls made me frown, but soon I see Alice's spiky hair bobbing up and down between the crowds of kids.
"Hey Carlisle! What're you doing here?" She asks innocently, and I snorted.
"Don't play dumb with me... You know why I'm here." I chuckled and hugged her small frame as I look up to see Jasper and Edward walking out, followed closely by Emmett and Rose. From the thunderous look on Jasper's face I realised something must have gone wrong, that was further backed up by the fact the fact that Rosalie was soaking wet.
"What happened?" I asked, stepping foward, concerned. Four pairs of shocked golden eyes met mine, Emmett's were the only one's that showed any emotion bar annoyance. He was laughing on the inside, I could tell.
"That Lauren girl went to throw red bull on Georgia..." Edward answered me, frowning as he turned over his shoulder, I followed his gaze to where a girl with curly blonde hair stood, shaking from the cold and, seeing as she was drenched from head to toe I wasn't surprised. "Jasper went to stop her, and Rose stepped in too..." He cleared his throat. "A long story short, Georgia's fine, but Rose is going to kill Lauren for ruining her hair."
I laughed gently, shaking my head at Rose's disgruntled expression. I half smiled at her before freezing, over her head I spotted a girl that looked almost identical to my Bella. If it weren't for the bright green eyes I would've sworn it was her.
"Who's that?" I nod to her, and Jasper turned. He visibly relaxed and smiled.
"Georgia." He whispered to me, she turned then and spotted him looking at her. She flushed deeply and half waved to him, he winked and waved back, a grin spreading on his face.
"Come on Georgia... We have to go." I heard the voice before I saw the face and knew immediatley. Looking up slowly I spotted a slightly shorter, slimmer girl beside Georgia. She was flawless. Her slim build, her brunette rings, her heart face, her porcelain skin, her chocolate eyes. My Isabella. She was there. So close... I could smell her delicious scent and felt the monster in me roar to claim her from the males that were staring at her.
A hand on my shoulder pulled my from my thoughts.
"Carlisle... We have to go." I looked down to see Alice tugging my arm towards the car.
"Bella... Did you see the way Doctor Cullen was looking at you?" A voice noted towards my love.
"That was Doctor Cullen?" Her voice, was like melted gold, so beautiful. "Wow... He's so young..." I slipped into the car, Edward and Alice getting into the backseat with me. My eyes met hers through the windscreen and my hands tightened around the steering wheel.
Perfect.
She nervously smiled and looked down, the same blush that her sister held swept across her cheeks, dusting them a rose pink. It complimented her beauty even more. She looked up and gripped her sisters arm, pulling her to their old truck and got in.
Pain coursed through me as I watched her drive off. Frowning I put the car into gear and followed Rosalie home.
Thank you again, everyone. Without you all I would not be writing, nor would I have been able to heal so fast. You are all so lovely, and I thank you all.
