I woke up with an urge. An urge to pee. I sprinted up from my bed and waddled to the left of my room to the bathroom door.
I awed once I flickered the lights on. There were never ending surprises around every corner of this enormous house. I was afraid to use the bathroom because it seemed so beautiful.
The tile was a glossy black and had gray grout. The counter was a black marble as well except with gray and white specks. I had two sinks, a Jacuzzi tub, toilet and shower. My bathroom also came equipped with gray, white and black towels as well. I was amazed. My parents treated me well. I felt as if I couldn't offer anything as good as what they have given me in the past seventeen years.
My urge. Oh no. I had just remembered why I came into the bathroom in the first place. I closed the door and quickly used the facilities before I piddled my pants.
After I was done, I felt much better and decided to see if Alice and Jasper had arrived. So I exited out of my room and gazed down to the family room from up above. Sure enough my brother and sister was there chatting, almost whispering. Jasper noticed me and I waved then went down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"Hello." I greeted them as I entered the family room. I took a seat at the chair across from the couch. It sat next to the fireplace.
"So how do you like the house?" Jasper asked as he held Alice's hand.
"Hmmm…I just love it. It is better than I expected." I admitted. "Although I do miss London." I sighed as I tucked my feet under me.
"There is still more." Alice grinned gleefully. She held knowledge of something I didn't know just yet.
"What?" I asked referring to her facial expression. My voice cracked with a smile.
"Go to the Barn. Dad is out there waiting for you." She said with a hint of mystery.
I nodded warily, exchanging glances between the two of them. Jasper seemed to know the secret Alice kept as well.
I walked back into the kitchen and out onto the porch. The site was gorgeous. There laid a pond and so many trees and hills. This was truly a blessing to be in Forks. How it was strange before that I despised the tiny dot, but now I had a different out look on the town.
I ambled to the barn. This barn seemed to look old and unstable but really it was quite new. The brown barn could stand a hurricane before it came crashing down. I opened the white door on the side.
"Hello?" My voice echoed. Even though the lights were on, the barn still came to me as eerie and somber. Yet in the light something caught my eye. Something black and glossy. I thought I was imaging things, but I couldn't be. My eyes could deceive what I saw right in front of me. I screamed in glee.
A black '07 mustang sat there. I was madly in love. The windows were tinted and the designs on the sides were unbelievable. Silver and purple stars started small on the hood, but progressed in size as the trailed to the side of the door. I could also tell that this model was a v8. This meant more horsepower and that meant one word. Speed.
"I'm guessing you like?" My dad's voice asked me.
I nodded. "I love." I corrected.
"Then it's yours." He smiled as he threw the keys to me. Luckily I caught them. I never really did have fast reflexes compared to my family.
"It's a Cullen's tradition to drive in style." My dad continued as he laughed. I joined him. Wasn't it the truth?
We all owned stylish cars. From Edward's Volvo, Rosalie's BMW, Emmett's Jeep Wrangler, Dad's Mercedes and Alice's Porsche, we were know to drive in the most fashionable vehicles. Not to mention the fastest as well.
"Now why don't you take it for a test drive to town and get aquatinted with your surroundings." He suggested with a mischievous grin.
"Ok!" I perked up and said thank you as I gave him a hug and a kiss goodbye on his cold cheek.
I jumped into the car and started the engine. My car came alive. My dad opened the barn doors and waved me on as I pulled out of the driveway. I honked and sped up to the road.
The car felt great. It went smoothly against the road to where it felt like I was flying.
I sighed. My parents had given me so many wonderful things, even though I wasn't really their daughter. That was the mystery to my life. I was a baby left on their doorstep with a note saying that I had been born in Boston on October 31st. I was without a name and without a home. There my parents willing took me and adopted me. Then to the hospital I went in Boston where they were staying at the time and there I received my birth certificate. My name, Wendy Renee Cullen was placed on the certificate and that day I finally had a family.
Even though I was abandon when I was just I infant, I still found my life fulfilling and not as depressing as it assumed to be. For one I had loving parents who tried to please me endlessly. Along with that I had six siblings that watched over me. How I missed Emmett's and his wife Rosalie's company. Along with Edward and Bella as well. I missed them terribly.
I pondered about something that had instantly traveled through my mind. Some might find my family odd, even though I didn't one bit. Yet you could never be too cautious of rumors and gossiping kind of people. A small town had to be full of them and the vibe we sent was not to good. So all of us except for Bella were adopted. So? That wasn't exactly the problem. My friends never found this peculiar, but some of my ex-boyfriends in London did. The problem to them was that my siblings were all together or married to each other in other words. I found nothing wrong with that. We weren't blood related so it wasn't incest. So Emmett married Rosalie about almost three years ago while Alice and Jasper were married a year ago and Edward and Bella were just recently married. I didn't find this crazy, but fate. We were all so dearly close that it was bound to happen. Love was a funny thing and it came in many different ways. Anyway, they were adopted later than the age I was adopted at. Or at least I thought so.
I thought about that as well. How I grew up and changed in form, size and personality, but my brother and sisters came out to look the same after all those years. Maybe they were done growing when I was growing up with them, but that is the one thing that I found peculiar about them. I found many things about that were strange or abnormal to me. Another one was they barely ate, even though Emmett looked to be as if he drank milk when I wasn't looking. My eldest brother was pure muscle. My family also lacked sleep for they always seemed to be in the kitchen when I wake up with dark circles under their eyes. To me all of this was strange, yet I still loved them unconditionally. How couldn't I?
I suddenly noticed that I was coming into a town. Of course it was Forks. I passed a school then a small store. Many people stared at me as they got into their pick-up trucks. I must have looked to be a billionaire that was lost. No I wasn't lost. I was just stuck. In Forks.
Suddenly my phone rang.
"Hello?" I said as I flipped open my phone.
"Wendy," Alice's voice chirped. "Jacob and Renessmee are here from LaPush for a visit. They wanted to see you."
I brightened up automatically.
"Be there in ten, Ally."
It had been years since I seen them, and hopefully, to them, I had grown more.
"Wendy! Oh Wendy!" Reneesmee exclaimed as I came through the door way.
"Hey." I smiled warmly.
"You have grown lil' squirt." Jacob rustled my hair and I sighed in relief.
"You mean a lot!" I scowled. I had grown a couple inches since I was ten.
"Your still short." Jacob pointed out.
"four foot eleven is not COMPLETELY short." I grumbled.
"In this family…with everyone past 5'4…it is Wendy." Alice giggled. She had no room to talk.
"At least Alice and I are at the same height…almost…" I was still shorter than her; the little pixie I had always been jealous of.
"Let's sit down. I am glad we are here together as a family at last." May gave me another hug.
I couldn't have agreed more.
"How was the joy ride?" Alice grinned.
I giggled. "Exerrating." I my smile was from ear to ear.
"Was that you we saw driving past…in the black mustang?" Jacob asked.
"Sure is." I dangled the keys in the air. 'I am a proud owner of a car! Isn't that great!" I cheered.
"It just seemed like yesterday she ran that Barbie jeep into a tree." Jacob boomed with laughter. "Remember that Wendells? When you came to visit us in La Push? You were five years old and Nessie and I bought that jeep for you and then you went and rammed it into the tree!" he slapped his leg as he roared on.
"I don't recall. Nor do I really want too." Wendy rolled her eyes. "Plus I am a safe driver compared to the rest of my family."
"What are you talking about?" Jasper asked as he walked into the conversation.
"About our driving skills compared to Wendy's." Alice motioned him to sit next to her.
"No offense, but you guys drive like maniacs!" She threw her hands up in the air. "Well except for dad and mum. They were pretty helpful when it came to take my test.' She eyed Jasper and Alice. They had always drove so fast, that Wendy caught on quickly.
"It's not our fault you have a lead foot." Alice giggled with amusement.
"I only learned it from the best…I guess." Wendy smiled and everyone took in their share of laughs.
