Chapter 2: A new life
When we landed I was pleased, just looking at the trees and all the free space of land when we drove back to my new home I could tell I would love Forks. I didn't understand why dad and mum wanted to leave this place.
"Bella, welcome home!" Emily said to me giving me a warm smile. I loved her though I hardly new her. We was just like each other. Same hair, eye colour. I could tell what mum looked like from her.
"Just help yourself to anything," Shayne said wrapping his arm around my shoulders giving me a squeeze. I looked around at the garden and the driveway and saw a truck there. I was puzzled.
"Oh yes, we forgot to tell you," Emily laughed, "we got you a truck for your welcome home present."
"Really, thanks you so much it is amazing," I cheered,
pleased.
"Well, it isn't new, we bought it off your fathers best friend," she said and looked kind of guilty.
"What! That is perfect," I said and grinned, "I might go down to see him, introduce myself and thank him personally."
"What a lovely idea, he has a son who is quite eager to meet you," she agreed.
After I unpacked my stuff and got directions to Billy Black's place I left. I went to La Push down to reservation as people call it. I drove up outside their house as a boy emerged. He looked about fifteen years old. His hair was just shorted than mine put way past his shoulders.
"Hey, you must be Bella," he said as I jumped out the car and walked up towards him.
"Yeah, my dad use to be best friends with your dad I have heard," I replied and giving him back a friendly smile.
"Your dad is Charlie?" He asked.
"Was Charlie," I sniffed.
"Oh yeah I remember, I am so sorry about your loss," he said looking down truly looking sorry, "but I guess you don't want to talk about it."
"No, I don't, I moved down her to start a new life but in a place of my dads biggest memories," I looked directly at his eyes which now was watching mine, "I don't want to hang on to it and lose my life either."
"Smart, well come on in."
"Awesome, thanks."
"Hey dad, guess who came down to visit?" the boy said to his father who was facing the other way in a wheelchair.
I suddenly remember, a flash back come to me. He was Billy we visited him when we came to visit my grandparent when I was five. I also remember making mud pies with the boy. The boys name was Jacob.
"Who, Jacob?" Billy asked.
"Bella."
Billy twirled his chair round and smiled up at me.
"Well well what brings you this far?" He asked.
"I moved down here to start a new life."
"Ah, I am sorry but you have to be ready for when your time on earth is up," he apologised. I nodded.
"Thanks for the car, I came up here to thank you and hopefully get to know you better," I smiled at Jacob,
"would be nice to have one friend here."
He blushed so much I couldn't help laughing. This was the first time I have laughed since dad past away and it felt good. I knew Jacob would help me get through this and would be a great friend.
"Aw thanks," he whispered still embarrassed. I directed me to his room where we sat and talked. We got to know each other well. It seemed like two minutes and it was dark. I left him then because I didn't want to get lost or anything.
When I got home Emily just got food on the table.
"So, I guess you had a good time," she raised her eyebrows at me in a surprise looking at my smile.
"Yeah, they are both really nice," I said back, "Jacob really kind." I sat down where there was a plate. Emily had made cottage pit which was my favourite.
"Thanks again for the truck," I said after I finished my mouth full, "it runs really good."
"Thank Jacob for that, he fixed it up," Shayne said to me smiling.
"I will next time I see him." After we finished food, I cleaned up and went upstairs to my bedroom. I was really nice. It was a purple colour, with a double bed against one wall, two windows, a desk with a computer and a lamp.
Obviously there was a cupboard. It was perfect. At ten o'clock I went to bed ready for school the next morning.
When I arrived at school, like always everyone stared at me. Some whispered she is pretty and others was just shocked. These one family caught my eye though. Across the lot was the most beautiful people I have ever seen. They were pale white and looked like marble, they looked so hard. There eyes I could just make out to be a golden colour like tropez. There was two girls and three boys. The cutest boy had golden hair, the next one look really strong and had brownish black hair. The last guy had curly golden hair. The two girls was indescribable, one was like a pixie with short spiky black hair and the other one had long blonde hair that ran into ringlets. They was mouth-
watering.
"Hey, you must be Isabella?" A guy asked interrupting my thoughts.
"Just Bella," I replied.
"Oh well, I am Eric the eyes and ears of this place and your news baby front page."
"No, I am not I am more the suffer in silence type."
"No worries future is dead." Eric directed me to my first class that happened to be with the beautiful girl that looked like a pixie. When I went up to the teacher he sent me to sit next to her.
"Hello, you must be Bella," her voice sounded like bells.
"Yeah, why did you call me Bella?" I asked.
"Oh, do you prefer Isabella?" she asked her voice still tinkling.
"No, it is just everyone calls me Isabella it was a surprise when you called me Bella."
"Oh, well my name is Alice."
She continues to talk during the whole lesson and the next because we was in the same class.
"Oh, Bella did you want to sit with us at lunch?" she asked.
"I don't think I will fit in, everyone with you are like um beautiful."
She just laughed at me and dragged to the cafeteria at lunch and chucked any food on a tray.
"Um can I just get a tray for my food?" I asked feeling stupid.
"Oh, this is for me and you," she laughed at me. Her laugh was amazing.
"Oh ok, thanks." I was speechless.
Up at the table she sits at she introduced me to everyone.
The other beautiful girl was Rosalie, I thought she would be mean to me but she was really nice. She said he hellos and smile and then went back to talking to the boy next to her. The one she was talking to was Emmet and they was dating. He was really nice as well. Next to him was the cute one, well the cutest, his name was Edward. When he spoke I couldn't breathe. There was two space after him and the a the last boy was called Jasper. He was just as nice as the others. Alice pushed me into a chair next to Edward and she sat next to Jasper and kissed him on the lips lightly and quickly.
"So, we still going camping, Edward on the weekend?"
Emmet asked.
"Yeah, its going to be so much fun," he said back and then grinned.
"Are we all going?" Alice asked sounding like she didn't want to go.
"No, you and Rose is staying with Esme," Edward replied.
"Who is Esme?" I asked "Our mother," Alice replied and look happy, "so that means I could have a slumber party?"
"Who are you going to invite?" Rosalie asked now interested. Edward looked at Alice a little shocked and then shrugged.
"Well I was only going to invite one person, Rosalie you don't hate Bella do you?" Alice asked and I was shocked that Alice was going to invite to a slumber party even though we just met.
"No, she is great, I think it is a lovely idea!" Rosalie replied and gave me an amazing smile.
"Awesome," Alice sang then look at me, "you would be able to come right?"
"Yeah I will be there.
"Don't you need to ask your parents?" Alice asked.
I gulped, "no."
"Really are you sure I can ask them if you want?" Alice asked.
"NO!" I said a bit to quickly and loudly.
"Are you ok?" Alice asked. I couldn't take it I just burst into tears and ran out the cafeteria and into the girls bathroom. About 2 minutes later Alice came in and called my name and then gasped as she saw me.
"What's wrong?" Alice asked.
"I don't have any parents, my mum died of child birth and my dad died about a month ago," I sobbed.
"Oh, I am so sorry," Alice said and put her arm around me.
She looked like she wanted to cry to but she couldn't. She left me and went back to the table and said that she will tell everyone not to talk about it. I was really glad to have a friend like that. On the good side I was having a slumber party that weekend, like my grandparents would stop me from going. Alice came back about 1 minutes before the bell and directed me to my next class. Unfortunately she wasn't in this class but Edward was. So I would of know someone. When I went to the front desk to tell the teacher I was new and that I didn't have any of the textbooks he told me to sit next to Edward. I was pleased.
"Hello, I am Edward Cullen as you know," Edward said,
"we didn't get to met each other probably at lunch Alice talks to much, it is amazing how such a tiny thing can be so annoying."
"Yeah, but I like her she is really nice," I said quietly.
"I know Alice told us to not talk about it but I am sorry for your loss, but I am to an orphan too my parents died years ago," he said looking at his desk.
"Really?" I asked interested maybe he could help me through it.
"Yeah, like you I don't like to talk about he, I haven't told anyone but obviously my adopted family," he said.
"Yeah it isn't nice talking about it," I agreed smiling at him.
I was please with my idea of moving to Forks, I was able to do things without thinking about dad.
"So what did bring you to Forks?" he asked.
"Well I was brought up in Phoenix and everything I did brought memories of what me and my dad use to do and I was fed up so I thought if I moved and started out fresh I could get over him quicker," I replied.
"Smart idea, so who are you staying with?" he still questioned and I was shocked he was interested in my boring life.
"My grandparents Emily and Shayne, my dad grew up here and I still wanted to be somewhere my dad could always be beside me, but I know my grandparents don't really want me here," I babbled on and on.
"Do you wish that you could live on your own?" He again questioned.
"Yeah, when I turn seventeen or eighteen I might find a place on my own," I whispered.
"Well I know this is out of the blue but my adopted mother and father Carlisle and Esme would take you in," he said,
"all of us are adopted you see so they wouldn't mind another child."
"Oh, no I couldn't it wouldn't be right, I don't even know them!" I said shocked.
"Well you can meet them this weekend, we are leaving Saturday midday so you can meet them on Friday night,"
he said. He was so determined.
"It isn't rude, is it?" I asked.
"Oh no they will take it as a honour!" Edward replied shocked.
"Well maybe I will get a boyfriend on day and move in with him and not disturb your family," I said, "I probably end up killing them, I killed my mum when she gave birth to me and then I scared my dad and gave him a heart attack."
"I can guarantee you won't kill Carlisle and Esme."
"I don't know."
