Hi! Here's chapter 2! Thanks to all my reviewers, it really makes me happy to read you like my story :D. And if there are any (huge) mistakes, please let me know. (The main reason: I don't speak English so it could be that there are some ;), I live in Belgium :p ) Enjoy…
Chapter Two: EPOV
I was saying goodbye to my mom at the airport. I hated to do it, I wouldn't see her in such a long time. I was going to Forks, the town I hated the most in my life. It was cold and it rained there, ew, it would be a long time. I hated cold and rain, and Forks. But it was necessary I told myself. I was going to live with my dad for a while, two years. Two years, two very long years, in Forks. Just two years I told myself, after that you're free to go. I smiled at that thought, I would come back to the sun and to my beloved state, Arizona. Everybody knew how much I hated Forks, just like my mom, she hated it there too. So my dad, yeah it sounded pretty weird to me, was really surprised the day that I called him with the 'good news'. I hated Forks and now I would be living there in just a few hours, unbelievable, I thought.
I gave my mum a hug and kissed her goodbye. "You don't have to do this, Edward, if you want you can stay…" I could see in her eyes that it hurt her too let me go but that she would also love to be able to spend time with her new husband. "Mum I want to go" I had told this lie so often the last two months that it sounded really convincing by now. I was really good at lying, just not to my mum, she could see right through me. I was actually looking a bit forward to see Edward Senior again, yeah, I'm named after my father, it had been a long time since I had seen him. "Just promise you'll call me if there's something wrong" "Sure mum, I will, just enjoy your time with Phil and don't worry about me too much, you will get old way too fast that way." I laughed and she laughed along with me. My mum was very motherly but eccentric at the same time. I looked in her open green eyes and smiled, I knew she loved me so much, but she had to let me go for now. Boys are mostly more attached too their father, but I was very fond of my mum, and it hurt me too I had to go. I would miss her so much. "Bye mum, love you" I told her. "Bye Edward, love you too." And with that I left, Forks here I come….
My flights went by pretty fast, so I arrived all to soon in Port Angeles. Yay, it was raining, ugh I hate it here, I thought. I started looking for my dad. I should recognize him by his brown messy hair. It had almost the same look as my hair but not at all the same color. The color of my hair was a reddish brown, just like my mother's. His hair, of my dad of course, was a lot shorter than mine and had a bit of grey in it if you looked very good. Ed Sr was a really good doctor when I was little but at a time he had found his true calling, police chief. That was one of the main reasons I wanted a car of my own, I didn't want to be seen in his police cruiser. I hated attention.
Then I saw the hair I was looking for. My dad hadn't changed since the summer. I waved and slowly walked over to him. "Hi Edward, it's good to have you back." He said, while looking at me and then staring at his shoes, we're both a bit uncomfortable with showing our feelings. "It's nice to be living with you for a longer time." I told him honestly, I didn't say anything about being happy to go live in Forks, because that wasn't true at all. I couldn't be happy in this green and grey forgotten place, I knew that already.
We drove to Ed's house in a comfortable silence. I looked outside, to all the green blurring past us. Too green, I thought. It was awfully green here, everything was green. Before, I thought green was a nice color, but now, I was starting to hate it. I frowned at the thoughand at the same time dad started to say "hey, Edward, about you buying a car…" "Oh yeah dad," I interrupted him "I'll start looking for one as soon as possible." "Um, actually Edward I already have one… as a present for you, it's all payed for, I hope it'll help you feeling more at home in this place…" He told me while looking outside.
"Wow, dad you really shouldn't have, wow." "I know but I thought you would like it." "Of course I like it!" I wouldn't say no to a free car! "And, what for car is it?" "Well, um, it isn't a really new car… um" Oh no, what are we going to get now, I thought. "um, I don't know much about cars you know, but I think it's a ford." "In which year was he build dad?" "Um, Billy kept him in a good state, you know, he isn't that old… Do you remember Billy? He lives down in the rez…" He was obviously avoiding the point. "Dad…" "Ok, it isn't a new car, I know but he looked kind of cool I thought. I can't tell you more son, you'll have to wait until we're home." And with that the silence fell again. I didn't want to drive an old, idiotic car. I was planning to buy one second hand, but like Ed told it, it could be a model from the nineteen hundreds. Oh my god! Imagine it! Such an old car! But to be realistic, my dad knew more of cars than that.
We arrived at Ed's old house. And I looked for a ridiculous car. But then I saw it, OMG! OMG! He had bought me an old Ford MUSTANG! "Wow, dad! It's an awesome car!" I absolutely loved ford mustangs, just like in 'The Dukes of Hazard". The car was shining red with two black stripes. The bumper wasn't in such a good shape, but I could fix that. And the seats should be replaced but it wasn't necessary for now. "Uh, glad you like it." "Like it? Love it! Dad, you're the best!" Wow, this was now my car. Wow. Just wow.
I carried all my bags inside and went upstairs to my old room. I putted my bags down and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at my room. There wasn't changed much since I was a baby, the old loveseat was still in the corner and the dark blue walls were the same though I thought that they were repainted. But the baby bed was replaced by a big bed and there was a desk with an ancient computer on it with an internet cable on the floor, a request of my mum so we could keep contact easily. I saw my dad enter with the one bag that I couldn't carry anymore. "Well this is it, um, I've cleared some shelves off in the bathroom so, um… Oh, and I've repainted your room two weeks ago, I thought you would like that" He said to break the silence. "Oh, thanks dad, you really shouldn't have." "Well it was nothing, son. Ok, I'll leave you alone so you can start unpacking." And then he went downstairs, cooking I suppose.
I felt like screaming, it already started to annoy me that it was so dark outside all the time. But I would save the 'I hate it here' and the 'I will never be happy in this place' thoughts for tonight in my bed. So instead I thought about tomorrow. Tomorrow, ugh, I had school then. Why couldn't that wait for a day? I just arrived. But I was glad in a way, because tomorrow my dad would be working so I would have nothing to do. Yeah, it's better this way, but still. I didn't exactly liked school, or better school didn't like me. Actually the kids didn't liked me. I was a weirdo they thought. I had a few friends but even with them I couldn't be truly myself. Edward Masen, the boy who plays piano and wants to be a doctor. The only thing my friends really liked were girls and football, they were so shallow. Eventually it was a decent hour to go sleeping so I climbed in bed and closed my eyes, letting the 'I hate it here' and the 'I will never be happy in this place' thoughts freely flow.
Did you like it? Let me know…
And I have a few questions:
I was thinking about Bella playing a lullaby for Edward eventually BUT playing piano is really something for Edward soooo I thought maybe he could learn Bella play?
(this isn't a question ;) ) The reason Edward has no rocking chair is simple: I didn't get the picture of Bella rocking Edward… and Bella on Edwards lap would be too heavy :p. I have a few other problems about that, Edward sleeping in Bella's arms?
So tell me what you think
