Chapter 2
Everyone's eyes just about pooped out of socket, when they saw a girl with strait jet black hair that went to the middle of her back and deep yet bright blue eyes walk in. Bella was the first to say something. "Hi, you've changed a lot Raven." "Well, it has been a long time since we last saw each other." Raven said in a soft voice that was almost hard for Bella to hear. "Edward will you help me get Raven's bags out of her…car?" Charlie asked with slight shock.
"Sure." Was all Edward said as he got up a followed Charlie to a black Chrysler 300 C sitting in his drive way. "What a beautiful car. I wonder how much it cost." Charlie asked in amazement. "About $25,000, but after I was done with all the upgrades and customization stuff its now worth about $50,000 or so." Raven answered from the porch with Bella right behind her. Bella felt embarrassed when she realized that she was drooling over her cousin's car. "How could you afford that?" Bella asked. "Well after my father died my mother remarried into a rich Germany family. Of course we had no idea he was rich until after he proposed to her. It was kind of a shock to us." Raven said with a bit of concern in her voice. "I wonder how she's doing." Raven mumbled to herself. "Well is there more to it then that, any other siblings?" Edward asked with a hint of interest in his voice. "No, I'm the only one. Michel can't have any children. So I ended up very spoiled. But my mother never let it get to my head, she always told me to be grateful for what we have." After a long pause Charlie popped his head out of the trunk and gave Raven a warm look. "Yea, your mom was always like that. I was afraid that after Derek died she would lose that part of her, but she always looked on the bright side of things. I'm glad she still happy and that she could move on." Charlie said with relief in his voice.
"Well what do ya say we get these bags in the house before it starts to rain?" Edward asked and Charlie simple nodded in agreement. "Don't worry about the rest Bella and I will get them." Raven said to them as they entered the house. "Ok yell if you need any more help." Charlie said as he started up the stairs to Bella's room. As Bella and Raven reached the car raven spoke to Bella like they were sisters. "He's gouges Bella. You are really lucky ya know. Most guys that I meet that were like him were stuck up and only wanted my family's money." "Well Edward's family is pretty rich them selves ya know." "Well I guess that would explain that shiny silver Volvo parked over there. At first I thought it was yours." "Mine? Oh no Charlie could never afford something like that." Bella said with a little bit of sadness in her voice when all of a sudden she heard a phone ringing. When she looked up Raven was looking down at her cell phone she filliped it up and was about to say hello when she just about dropped the phone.
"Tomm, is that you?" Your back? Really, for how long? Really, its over you don't have to go back!! That's great when can you get a flight to Washington? Because I'm in my cousins hometown of Forks. It's in the Olympic Peninsula. Yes I can pick you up in Seattle. Ok I'll see you in a couple of days. I love you bye." Then the phone shut and Raven through her arms around Bella and began to cry. "What is it Raven?" Bella asked as Charlie and Edward came back out wondering what was taking them so long. "My boyfriend Tomm is alive he survived it." "Survived what Raven?" "His tour of duty in Iraq. He was in the army I meet him when he was stationed in Germany for a while. Its weird he's originally from Seattle I'm surprised he didn't know where this place was." "Well let's get these in the house." Edward said and with that they all when into the house. When Edward nosiest two animal cages that Charlie brought in.
