This is sort of a continuation to the previous chapter. It explains how Bella shifted into the house she is now living in. Next chapter explains how she met Edward, and fell in love with him.

Flashback - Shifting

As soon as Alice mentioned Edward's name I suddenly went into the flashback of how I shifted and we first met. It was quite an eventful meeting.

4 years ago...

When we first shifted into Forks we did not have a permanent residence instead we rented a house. At first mom was a housewife, but then Charlie's salary was not enough for all our needs (By needs I do not mean school fee or food, but house rent. The rent was increasing day by day, and it was Charlie's dream to bring back grandmother Swan's house which they had sold after we left for Phoenix thinking that they will never come back). After mom took up the job of a teacher at a Pre Primary school, slowly our problems started to solve and finally one day dad came home with the grand news (He was so happy that he was literary bouncing like Alice when she is exited).

"Bella, Alec we are shifting" He broke the news that very night.

"When?" Alec asked, a bit disappointed since he had made a few friends in the neighborhood.

"This week" Mom answered, equally happy.

"Kk. Do we have to switch schools?" Alec asked.

"No, of course not sweetheart. Your school is just a few blocks away." Mom said. Then she sensed Alec's worry and said "I know that you will miss your friends over here, but trust me you will love it there." she whispered trying to sooth him.

"So from tomorrow we will start packing" Dad announced.

The next day we started packing our stuff, since we have to move on Saturday so that we have Sunday to relax and unpack. I had not much to pack since I had left most of my stuff back in Phoenix. Mom had taken the whole week off to finish the packing in time and dad had to take off on Thursday and Friday. The whole house was cleared within 3 days and every item, from furniture to toilet paper was packed. Our old house was not that far, but mom insisted on packing everything. Even Alice and Rosalie helped me pack. Saturday came by and all our stuff was shifted.

"So what do you think kids?" Dad did not show us the house before shifting as he said that it will be a surprise.

"It's...um...nice" I replied, unable to find words. This house was good, smaller than the older one, but was sweet.

"Yeah dad, it's really nice." The happiness in Alec's voice surprised me, but at the same time made me smile.

It was a two storey house. As we entered I noticed it had a small porch. When dad opened the door I saw the stairs from behind mom. On the left-hand side there was the living room with our old furniture and TV already placed. On the right-hand side there was the staircase for going up. A stepping ahead was the kitchen with a cemented table in the middle (That's why dad had sold the dining table but kept the chairs). On returning back I noticed a small door underneath the staircase, it was a small room for keeping coats and shoes. Then I went upstairs only to find that there were two bathrooms, one on each floor. Damn. I'll have to share mine with Alec. Mom and dad took the first floor with the master bedroom, and Alec and I had to go to the second floor. Later that night we ordered pizza since we were (I was) too exhausted to cook. Next day we started unpacking stuff, Alice and Rose joined us too.

"You have a nice, small and cozy house, Bella" Alice sang.

"Yeah, it's really good." Rose agreed.

"Thanks guys" I replied, feeling blood rushing to my face. Damn. Why the hell do I blush so much?

"Bella's turning into a red tomato" Alice teased, I hissed.

"What's upstairs Bella?" Alice asked as we were heading towards my room. I never really noticed what was upstairs.

"I don't know..." Before I could complete my sentence Alice started heading upstairs. There was a door, but thankfully it was unlocked, so when Alice turned the knob the door opened to the most beautiful terrace I could have ever seen.

"Oh my god! This is so beautiful" Alice chimed. The terrace was decorated with flowers and a swing in the middle. Alice quickly hopped onto the swing, like a little girl. We laughed at her enthusiasm, she stuck out her tiny tongue (seriously, where does she store so much energy in her tiny pixie body). The view around was equally beautiful, light, but cool breeze was blowing. The scent was really sweet.

"Yes this is really beautiful." Rose admitted.

"Hey! Who lives here?" I was so busy enjoying that I did not notice that Alice had gotten off the swing and now was pointing towards our neighbor's terrace.

"I don't know" I replied, curious.

We were able to unpack our stuff that day itself. Later Alice and Rose dinned with us.

"Who lives in your neighborhood?" Alice asked dad before leaving, unable to contain her curiosity.

"Nobody, this house has been empty for the past 4 years." 4 years, thats quite a lot of time. The house was quite big, but anyway.

I waved bye to Alice and Rose.

Next chapter Edward comes.

Reviews are like soft breeze blowing on the terrace, relaxing. So please Review and tell me weather I should continue or not.

Much Love,

Bella
