Chapter 2;
Bella POV

"Bella," Alice's voice pulled me into consciousness, accompannied by the vigorous shaking of my leg, "We don't want to have to carry you the rest of the way home." Wait, the rest of the way? Where are we? I couldn't feel the smooth material of the plane seat beneath me anymore, nor could I hear the slight rocking of our cabin as we travelled impressively through the air.

"Leave me alone, Alice," whacking at what I believed to be her arm. I hit something solid, ow. I assumed it was a head and so I twisted one finger through the person's hair - it was soft, but... curly? Alice, doesn't have curly hair. What the... ?

"What happened to your hair, Alice? Rough flight?" I asked, absently tugged on another lock of hair.

"Ow, stop it,"a deep, burly voice complained, swatting my hand away gently. Shocked at the sound of this manly voice instead of my friend's sweet, girly voice. My eyes flew open and the first thing I saw when I looked up was the sight of a huge, muscly guy. He was cute, with light brown eyes and curly brown hair atop of his head. Still, the sight of this massive guy carrying me, startled the fuck out of me.

"GAH! Who the fuck are you?" I yelled rudely stranger, whom of which was currently carrying me.

"Emmett Cullen, ma'am," he pulled one arm out from underneath me and held it in front of my body, "Who the fuck are you?" he added politely, smiling widely.

"Oh, Emmett! Hey, Alice told me about you. Sorry about, you know.. the hair tugging thing," I apologised quietly, grasping his thick extended hand tightly and shaking, "Bella Swan."

"Nice to meet you Bella."

I started feeling kind of awkward, realising I was still in his arms, I asked slowly, fiddling with my hands, "Umm, can you put me down now?"

"Huh? Oh, uhh. Right," Emmett replied placing me on my feet.

That's when I noticed we had an audience - "Oh, umm." I said lamely.

"Bella, this is Rosalie." Alice told me, waving her hand towards Rosalie when she said her name. Alice's cousin was absolutely beautiful, she had stunning bright blue eyes framed by dark black eyelashes. Along with long, silky blonde hair that was flipped over one shoulder, she was also dressed in designer clothes. Obviously related to Alice. I noticed that she moved next to Emmett when her name was called and was now holding his hand, while smiling brightly at me, for some unknown reason. "Err. Hey, Rosalie. It's great to meet you,"I greeted her kindly. Her wide smile faltered at my greeting and she looked upset.

"Bella," she responded, looking disappointed.

"Anyway..." the Pixie said awkwardly, "You've apparently already met Emmett over there. And last but not least, this is handsome devil here, is Edward." she told me gesturing to the guy standing next to Jasper. Well, hellooo sexy. Edward was absolutely gorgeous, with deep green eyes, as well as messy bronze sex hair. He was dressed quite casually, I watched as he stepped forward extending his left hand out towards me.

"Hey, I'm Edward.. like.. Alice said..." he greeted me kindly, quirking an eyebrow at his awkwardness, while scratching the back of his neck with his right hand.

I leaned forward to shake his hand and greet him, "Hi Edward. It's nice to meet you."

"You too." he told me smiling out stepping out of the handshake.

"Well, Esme must be expecting us soon, so... Let's hit the road people!" Emmett boomed.

"How many cars did you guys bring?" Alice asked quickly, looking at Edward expectantly.

"One? Emmett's jeep." he answered.

"Sweet, let's go then," she called behind her before noticing nobody was following, "Well?" Alice huffed, turning around and grabbing me by the wrist, dragging me behind her. Everyone quickly followed suit. We walked out into the parking lot with the boys dawdling slowly behind us, complaining about how heavy our bags were. "Oh, hush. Bitchin' isn't going to lighten the weight." Alice told them loudly. Rosalie then stopped suddenly out of nowhere.

"Umm? Where's the car?" I asked curiously.

"That," Emmett told me pointing to the monster jeep to the left of where Rosalie was standing, "Is my baby."

"Your kidding." I said stupidly, staring slack jawed at the huge vehicle we were supposed to be riding in.

"Nope, he's not. Come on." Alice told me impatiently, literally jumping into the backseat, waiting for me to do the same.

- At the Hale House -

The drive from the airport was quick thanks to Emmett's maniac driving. Speeding over the limit the entire way. I didn't even realise I was squeezing someone's hand until I heard Edward's semi-silent laughter coming from beside me.

I was walking to the frontdoor of the Hale household when Edward jogged infront of me, holding the door open while I walked through, "After you, young lady." he told me, smirking and motioning for me to go ahead.

"Why, thankyou, kind sir." I replied smiling, skipping inside. I have no idea why exactly I skipped, but I did. Oh well, who cares.

I was admiring the beauty of the house when a small, beautiful lady appeared before me, she was petite with shoulder length caromel hair, she was dressed casually with an apron wrapped around her small frame. I could definitely see the comparison in her features with Rosalie.

"You must be Bella. It's so nice to finally meet you honey." the woman who I guessed was Esme stepped forward and hugged me.
Usually if a stranger hugged me out of the blue like that I would have been kinda weirded out, but just by looking at this person I could tell this type of behaviour was normal for her.

"Yes and your Esme?" I asked hugging her back, when she nodded I continued, "It's great to finally meet you, i've heard so much about you all. You've got a beautiful home."

"Thankyou Bella. We hope you enjoy your stay here. Please, make your self at home." Esme told me kindly.

"Thankyou, I will." I smiled appreciatively at her.

"Come on Bella, Rosalie's going to show us our rooms!" Alice squealed loudly in my ear, pulling me up the staircase. We walked into a long hallway, with at least 10 doors. Jeez.

Rosalie walked ahead of us, gesturing to one door, "Bella, this is your room. Go put your stuff inside and then Em wants us all downstairs to get to know eachother." I mumbled a quick thanks as she added, "Ali, your nextdoor." she smiled at Alice and it faltered slightly when she looked at me. What. The. Fuck.

I could not be bothered unpacking at the moment, so I just made my bed, placed all my bags at the end of the sofa in my room and headed to the bathroom. Looking in the mirror, I looked like shit. Quickly splashing cold water on my face and brushing my teeth I wandered back downstairs to join everybody else.

Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie, Alice and Edward were all sitting in the living room on the sofas, when I entered the room Alice smiled widely at me and patted the empty spot next to her. I quickly obliged.

"So." I said quietly.

"Well Guys... and girls. I have a brilliant idea, for us all to get to know eachother. Well, for us all to get to know Bella," Emmett stated. A massive grin present on his face.

"Technically, it's just you, Rose and Edward that need to get to know Bells over here." Jasper told everyone proudly, before turning to me, "Hey, sis?"

"That's right, bro." I replied to him cheerfully, despite how tired I was, "So your Idea, Emmett?"

"21 Questions!" he boomed enthusiastically. Lord, kill me now.

"I'll start." Rosalie volunteered quietly. "Bella," she looked at me, not quite glaring this time, but she definitely didn't look happy, "Why did you forget me?"

Author's Note:

Let me know what you think! Whether it's nice or nasty, lemme hear it; I can handle critcism. (: Sorry about the cliffie! I couldn't really think of any other way to end the chapter, so what the heck! This next chapter should explain Rosalie's slight coldness towards Bella, so, like I said before - the more reviews the quicker I'll update.
