chapter 4
A/N: don't be jerks about my non-cliffhanger. Thanks for all the reveiws. I was so excited and I really wanted to write this next chapter cause everyone knows what freaking happens. I won't normally update this often. I stayed home from school yesterday and had time to write. sooo yea, enjoy.
Disclaimer: If I owned Edward Cullen, Bella would've married Jacob or Mike just so I could have Edward. (still team Edward though) He would be sitting here with me now along with Jasper and Emmett.
Bella's POV
I drove my loud big red truck home. I pulled into the empty driveway. Finally, the weekend. I climbed out of the toasty cab and into the drizzling rain. I shivered.
I walked into the house and pulled an apple out of the fridge. I crunched on it and went upstairs to put my booksack down.
I sat down at my small desk to start on an English paper due in a few weeks. I had nothing better to do and didn't want to forget about it.
I was halfway through my Introduction paragraph when I heard a knock on the door. I put my pencil down on my paper and started down the stairs.
I swung it open to see Mike Newton standing in my doorway. I gave him a look.
"BETH!" he yelled practically like a little girl sweeping me into his arms.
I moved away from him fast, "NO, I'm Bella, I thought this was over, how did you find out where I live?"
"What do you mean? This is Beth's house. Why are you here?"
"No, Mike, this is my dad's house. Only he and I live here." The room on the other side of my bathroom, it was all starting to make sense. I shook my head.
"No, no, no, no, no, this isn't right, this isn't happening."
Mike looked at me as if I were belonged in an insane asylum.
"If you're Bella, where's Beth? Where's Charlie?"
"Charlie's at work, Why would I know where Beth is? If she is my twin sister or whatever, I've never met her." My head shaking the whole time. (A/N: you know how Kristen Stewart does:P)
"I thought he got off early on Fridays..." he let his sentence drift into nothingness.
"He must be picking her up..." I did the same.
Mom! I thought. She had to know, she knew and kept it from me my entire life. She had us both, and never ever told me I had a sister.
"I have to do something, Mike." I left him standing alone in the living room, I entered the kitchen and picked up the phone.
I dialed my mom's cell phone number. It rang four times before she answered.
"Hello?" she answered sheepishly, she had been expecting this call for whenever I found out.
"Who is Beth, Mom?"
"I'm sorry, Bells. This is why I never let you meet your Dad, it was for the best."
"Is she my sister?"
"Yes, Bella, she is."
"Where you ever going to tell me? or just let me live my entire life not knowing? and then tell me when you were on your death bed?"
"Charlie and I were going to tell you both when you had graduated college. Have you met her yet?"
"No, Mom. Her boyfriend just showed up asking where she was. And there is a room for a teenager in the house. Apparently Charlie gets off early on Fridays, but he sure ain't here Mom."
"Bella don't do this, don't be mad at me."
"I'm sorry, Mom" I said a little more calmly, "just what were you expecting?"
"I just wanted you to be happy, email me tonight, and you know Bells, this is why I made you promise to stay there at least a month. Charlie says you'll love her."
"Charlie doesn't know who I would or wouldn't love, what if she hates me, and thinks I'm taking her dad away?"
"I'm sure she won't Bella, don't be so paranoid."
"Thanks, Mom. I'll talk to you later."
"Bye, Bella." I hung up without another word.
I walked into the living room to see Mike on the phone.
"you remember the girl I was talking about, Bella, the one who looks just like you," he paused, "yea well now she's at your house. When are you getting home?" he paused again.
"Well, I'll just wait around here, see you in about half an hour."
"Love you, too"
He shut his phone to turn around to find me there. His eyes grew wide with guilt.
"Yea, well, I'm just gonna, yea." he rambled and turned on the television.
"Whatever," I ran up the stairs.
Beth's POV
I got off the plane in Port Angeles to find my dad waiting for me, all smiles.
"Daddy!" I yelled as soon as I saw him. I ran to him for a hug.
"Hey, Beth." I could tell he had missed me.
When we were about half-way home in Dad's crusier. My phone rang. I checked the caller ID. It was Mike. I answered it with a smile.
"Hey, how are you?"
"Where are you?"
"With Dad, on my way home?" it came out as a question.
"You remember the girl I was talking about, Bella, the one who looks just like you?"
"yea?" another question.
"yea, well, now she's at your house. When are you getting home?"
"about thirty minutes, i think."
"Well, I'll just wait around here, see you in about half an hour."
"Love you."
"Love you, too"
The phone line went dead and I closed my phone.
I looked over at the man driving. "Dad, do you know a girl that looks sorta like me, named Bella?"
"Beth, we need to talk about something.
"Ok," I said cautiously.
"Do you have any guesses why I let you stay with your grandparents for a week?"
"no, I was wondering about that."
"well someone else is going to be living with us."
"And you didn't want her to know you had a teenage daughter right?"
"well sorta, but not how you're thinking, there's no other way to do this, I just have to tell you."
"Ok." I waited.
"you have a sister"
"NO WAY! that's amazing, how much older than me is she?"
"you're happy?"
"yea, how could I not be? I get the sister I've always wanted." I smiled at him.
"Well, she's not just your sister Beth, Bella is your twin."
"What? NO WAY! That's so cool, so wait, why did I have to leave?"
"Well, Bella doesn't exactly know about you yet, but she might have figured out, because she told me a lot of people were comparing to her to some 'Beth Swan'"
"This is way too cool." All I could think about was all the things she and I would do together.
"I'm just upset you didn't tell me earlier"
"I'm just glad you're not mad."
"Why would I be mad? I can't wait!"
I was elated, I really couldn't wait.
A/N: kinda short, but this is where I'm stopping. I might have the meeting scene up tomorrow. but if not sometimes this week. let me know what you think. REVIEWWWW!
