I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. I turned over and brought my hand down onto the snooze button. I sat up and yawned. I swung my legs over the edge of the bed. I wiped the sleep from my eyes. It was about 9:30 and Bella was suppose to come pick me up at 2:00 to go visit the Cullen's.
I had to take a shower, get ready and make breakfast for dad and myself. So I went ahead took a quick shower, and dried my hair as fast as I could. I pulled my hair back into a messy ponytail. Then I threw on sweatpants, and a T-shirt.I hurried down the stairs and I grabbed the frying pan out of a box. Thank the heavens my dad had the forethought to order some cheap cutlery and cooking ware for us to have until our stuff arrived from Florida. I fixed scrambled eggs, one omelet(for daddy), bacon,and toast. I divided all of the food onto two plates. Then I put them on the table. I poured some orange juice into two cups before setting the table.
"Dad! Breakfast is ready come on down!" I yelled up to him. I heard his footsteps on the stairs. I sat down and started to eat. Dad came into the kitchen. He stooped down to give me a quick kiss on the top of my head.
"Good morning." He said happily. I smiled at him as he sat down.
"Good morning." I replied as happily as I could. I felt slightly depressed, but I pushed those thoughts out of my head. We eat in a very comfortable silence. We did this almost every morning.
"I was thinking, maybe you would want to paint your room?" He asked. I smiled.
"That sounds like a great idea, Daddy." I said to him. "Maybe blue." I added. He nodded. When we were done, I washed the dishes and Dad went and got dressed. I was finished and Dad was heading down stairs, when we heard a knock on the door.
"I got it!" Dad yelled as he went to the foyer, and open the door. I grabbed a dish towel and wiped the water off of my hands.
"Hey, Ally come see who's here!" He yelled. I walked to the foyer, to see Billy Black, and his son Jacob.
I remember coming up to Washington, when me and Bella were little. I remember us playing with Jacob, and having a really great time. This stopped when I was seven. I don't remember why, but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with my Mom passing away. Billy hadn't changed much, except he was in a wheel chair. Jacob on the other hand, had turned into a buff giant. He towered above me, and he looked like he was on steroids. He had short black hair opposed to the long hair I had heard about, and he was in nothing but some cut off jean shorts, and a white sleeveless T-shirt.
"Billy! Jake!" I said excitedly, as I bent down to hug Billy. He hugged back.
"You've grown so much." He said. I laughed, pulling back from the hug. I looked at Jacob. I didn't know if I should hug him or not, but I didn't have to make that decision, because he pulled me into a bone crushing hug. I hugged back best I could but it was hard to wrap my arms around him. He finally let go. What got me was that he was so hot. I mean his temperature he felt like he had a fever.
"I think the only one that really grew is you." I said looking up at him. He gave me a small smile. He nodded. I giggled.
"Well Billy and I are going to catch up, why don't you two do the same." Dad said, as he and Billy went into the living room.
"Why don't we go out onto the porch?" Jacob suggested. I nodded. We stood on the porch for a little while in awkward silence.
"Soo.. How is life?" I asked randomly. I looked up at him. He had this dark look on his face.
"Its alright I guess. Could be a whole lot better." He told me. His face told me he was angry but his eyes showed an incredible amount of sadness.
"Well I'm sure things will get better." I say offering him a reassuring smile. "So am I going to see you around school?" I asked trying to steer towards a more neutral topic.
"Unfortunately no. I go to school on the reservation. Its smaller, and I like that." He told me. I nodded slightly disappointed.
"I wished I was going to school with you. I don't like being the new kid. Especially since the year has already started." I told him honestly while sitting down on the top step. I don't know why but I feel like I could tell Jacob anything. Even if we haven't seen each other in ten years. Feels like we've been best friends all this time.
"You aren't very happy here are you?" He asked, sitting down beside. I could feel the heat radiate off him. It was really weird.
"I've only been here one night, but I miss home so much already. To answer your question, right now I'm not very happy. But I've only been here one night so there is still hope" I said looking up at him. He had some sadness in his eyes.
"I'm not happy either. Bella... Bella didn't tell you what happened did she?" He asked. I think he's talking about when Edward left her. Apparently she was heart broken.
"All I know is that Edward broke up with her, and Bella was in a mess." I told him. He scoffed.
"In a mess? She was broken, Ally. He absolutely shattered her when he left. I helped her, and then the second he comes back, she forgets all about me." He said angrily. I didn't know that. I didn't know she was that bad. Sure I knew about the nightmares, and her being anti-social, because of Charlie talking to my dad about it. Jacob seemed really upset. He was staring off into space.
"I'm sorry, Jacob. I didn't know." I put my hand on his arm, as a comforting gesture. He finally looked at me, and he actually smiled. I smiled too.
"You know Jacob, you're really hot." I said. I meant his temperature,but he took it the wrong way. He put his hand over mine, and he waggled his eye brows at me playfully.
"Not like that! I mean your temperature. You feel like you have a fever." I told him seriously, jerking my hand away.
"I'm not sick or anything, its just the way I am." He told me. I looked at him skeptically.
"Right.. If I get sick I'm coming after you." I told him. He laughed. We hung out the rest of the time until they left. I had a good time. Maybe Forks wouldn't be so bad with Jacob right down the road.
It was 1:15, so I had to go upstairs and get dressed, before Bella had to come pick me up. I went through my things, and picked out my outfit. I put on some jeans, a nice turquoise t-shirt ,a grey pea coat, and some brown boots. I decided to leave my hair in its natural curly state. I decided not to put any makeup on. It would just be a pain to take it off later. I had just finished buttoning up my coat when I heard the knock on the door. I grabbed my cell phone and rushed downstairs.
"Bye Dad. Love you!" I yelled, as I reached the door.
"Bye sweetie, have a good time." He replied from the living room. I opened the door. Bella and Edward were standing there. Edward looked as handsome as ever. Bella looked pretty too.
"Hey Edward, its good to see you again." I said politely, with a smile. He nodded.
"It's good to see you too. Are you ready to go?" He asked.
"Yeah, lets go." I said, stepping out of the house. I closed the door behind me. We headed out to Edwards car. Bella got the front, and I was in the back. Edward, obviously, was driving.
"So how did you enjoy your first night here?" Edward asked politely.
"It was alright. It was a little strange waking up in the new house. I'll get use to it though. So exactly how many brothers and sisters do you have again?" I asked not remembering what Bella had told me.
"I have four adopted siblings." He answered. They were adopted? I didn't know that.
"All of you guys are adopted?" I asked curiously. He nodded.
"Yes, Esme, my adoptive mother can't have children." He explained.
"Oh. I didn't know that." I replied. The rest of the ride was pretty quiet. I didn't even see the driveway, when Edward turned into it. I was in awe at the beauty of the house. It was a two story house, and you could see right into the rooms, the windows were so big.
"I love your house." I said. Edward smiled before he thanked me. We got out of the car, and went inside. Edward took mine, and Bella's coat, while I studied the interior of the house. It was even more beautiful on the inside. It looked like one of those houses from the interior design magazines. It was absolutely stunning.
"This way." Bella said,taking my hand leading me through a door, into the living room. The Cullen's were sitting on the couches, and a few were standing up. They all looked up at me. They were all so pale, but very beautiful. Even the men were gorgeous. I mean like model gorgeous. I was in awe. I didn't know people could even look this perfect in real life.
"You must be Alexis." A brunette girl came up to me and hugged me. Of course I hugged back.
"Yeah that would be me. You guys can call me Ally or Lexi, if you want to." I said, as we were pulling back from the hug.
"I'm Alice, and this is Jasper." She introduced herself, and this other man. Alice had short brown hair, and was about my height. The only way to describe her is whimsical or fairy like. The man, Jasper, has honey blond hair that comes right below his ears, and he is about 6'3 in height, which is pretty damn tall compared to me. He had these golden eyes, Alice does too. Jasper was stiff, and he gave me a small smile. When I met his eye I had a very strange feeling come over me. It almost feel like I've meet him before. It was very strange. Something I couldn't quite place flashed in his eyes, but then it was gone as quickly as it came.
"Hello Ally. It's a pleasure to meet you." He said, in a slightly muffled southern accent. I gave him a small smile. Then I noticed Edward giving Jasper a weird look. I brushed it off.
"The pleasures all mine." I said politely. He nodded. Alice grabbed my arm, and gently pulled me towards the others. Her skin was so cold, but then again this was Forks, and I have to say its pretty cold in this house.
"This is Carlisle, and Esme." She introduced anther blonde man, and a brunette. They looked older. They must be the parents.
"Its so nice to finally meet you. Bella has talked so much about you." Esme told me. I smiled.
"All good things I hope." I replied, looking back at Bella, who had a big smile on her face.
"She thinks very highly of you." Carlisle spoke. I nodded, and smiled.
"Oh really? Somehow I highly doubt that." I said skeptically. Of course I was just kidding. I was actually quite surprised. I didn't think Bella thought of me at all. Then I noticed a blonde chick and this big bear type guy.
"Hi. You must be Rosalie and Emmet." I said walking over towards them. Emmet smiled and wrapped me in this big bear hug. I heard everyone laughing.
"Can't breathe.." I wheezed. He put me down.
"Sorry." he laughed.
"Its fine." I turned to Rosalie. Her amazing looks were marred by an angry scowl.
"Its nice to meet you." I told them both.
"Come sit down, Lexi." Alice said happily. I smiled and sat down next to Alice. Jasper was on the other side of Alice. Bella and Edward sat on my other side. The rest of the Cullens sat down in front of me on the opposing couch.
"I couldn't help but notice, that you have a slight southern accent." Carlisle spoke first trying to start a conversation. I was impressed. I've pretty much lost my accent since being in Florida.
"Yes, I lived in Tennessee the first seven years of my life, before moving to Florida. You must have an ear for accents though. I've pretty much lost most of my accent. You have a southern accent too." I said, directing my attention towards Jasper. He smiled, showing perfect white teeth.
"You are correct. I'm originally from Texas. You are first person in quite a while to recognize it." He replied. My smile widen.
"My mom grew up in Texas. I'm pretty good at recognizing accents I suppose." I said.
"How does you mother feel about the move?" Esme asked. My smile faltered just a little bit, before I caught myself.
"My mother passed away when I was six." I said quietly. Esme's face fell.
"I'm sorry." She said apologetically.
"Its alright. You didn't know." I replied. "I'm so glad that I actually know people now, and I'll have somewhere to sit at lunch." I said quickly trying to change the subject. I didn't like talking about her.
"I can't wait for us to go shopping together." Alice said excitedly and pretty randomly
"I love shopping, we have to make plans." I replied.
"And here I thought you and Bella were just alike." I heard Emmett say. I laughed.
"Bella and I may look alike, but we are polar opposites." I replied truthfully.
"You certainly do look alike. You look like you could be sisters." Esme told me. I nodded.
"Everyone says that." I replied. After some more small talk Alice, Bella, and I all went upstairs to try on clothes. Bella complained. She doesn't care about things like this. Honestly I don't either but I do enjoy it. Alice had a lot of clothes it was amazing how big her walk in closet is. Her shoe collection was even more impressive. And don't even get me started on her room. Nothing was out of place. It was a far cry to what my room will look. I'm super messy.
After a little while, Bella finally dragged us down stairs. We quickly fell back into a comfortable conversation. They were all so nice and easy to talk to with the exception of Rosalie. Emmett and I were debating college basketball teams when my phone started to ring.
"Excuse me." I said politely stepping back from everyone. I didn't recognize the caller I.D, but I answered it anyway.
"Hello." I said into the phone.
"Hey, its me Jacob." I smiled at his voice.
"Hey its good to hear your voice and all but how did you get my number?" I asked confused.
"I asked your dad." He told me. I laughed.
"Well, you could have just asked me." I told him. "Well what do you want?" I asked jokingly.
"Well, I was wondering if you would want to come and hang out with me on the reservation?" He asked, hope in his voice.
"I'm kind of busy at the moment. So I can't go right now. Um.. Can we hang out tomorrow?" I told him.
"That would be great. I'll come get you around 3." He told me.
"Ok. How should I dress?" I asked.
"Casual. You don't have to dress up for us." He said happily.
"So I'll see ya soon then." I told him.
"Yeah I'll see you. Bye." He replied before hanging. I put my phone up. I turned to see Edward looking a little aggravated, and Jasper had an emotion on his face that I couldn't exactly read. Everyone else looked a little annoyed. Bella looked around at everybody and then she looked at me curious.
"I'm sorry about that.." I trailed off.
"Who was it?" Bella asked hurriedly. I hesitated, knowing that Jacob and her weren't really on good terms.
"It was Jacob Black." I replied. Bella looked shocked and hopeful.
"Was he asking for me?" Bella asked.
"No he was asking me if I wanted to hang out today. I told him I was busy." I told her. Her face dropped.
"Oh.." Bella said disappointed.
"You shouldn't trust him or his friends." Edward spat out angrily. I looked at him with what I'm sure was a shocked expression. It was surprising to see Edward angry. He's usually so very polite.
"I think that is for me to decide. I don't know exactly whats going on between ya'll but I'm staying out of it. I would ask you to leave me out of it as well." I replied sternly. I know Jacob is a good guy and he probably only keeps good company. I did not appreciate Edward telling me who I should trust. Edward must have got the hint, because he just nodded his head and backed of the topic.
The rest of the night was fun. I learned a very interesting fact about the Cullen's. They are all together. I mean obviously Carlisle and Esme are together, but the kids were broken down into couples, except for Edward. Rosalie and Emmett are together. Whilst Jasper and Alice are a couple too. Edward was all by himself before Bella came. It was really weird, not that I really cared. They seemed like good people and that's all that really mattered to me.
It was about 8:00 when we finally left. I had a good time with them, and I hoped they would invite me back. Edward drove Bella and I home. He dropped me off first. I said my good byes and hopped out of the car. I walked up to the door, and pulled a key out of my pocket. I was about to open the door, when it swung open. Jacob was standing there with no shirt on, and some cut off shorts on. I jumped in surprise.
"Holly crap Jacob! What in the world are you doing here?!" I cried out. He moved so that I could go into the house. I stepped into the house and took off my coat.
"I was back in the neighborhood, and decided that I wanted to see you." He said looking me over. He led me to the living room. "Are you alright?" He asked me. I just looked at him confused.
"Why wouldn't I be alright?" I asked curiously sitting on the couch. He sat down beside me. He just shook his head.
"How's Bella?" He asked getting this sad look in his eyes.
"She's fine, but I think she misses you." I told him honestly. Hope creeped into his eyes.
"Really? Too bad I can' t talk to her." He said quietly and sadly. I looked at him confused.
"Why not?" I asked.
"Because of them." He hissed. He meant the Cullen's I suppose. My mouth formed into an Oh. We stayed quiet for a little while. Then I noticed that my Dad wasn't there.
"Where's my Dad?" I asked him. He laughed. "What?" I asked confused.
"It took you that long to figure out that your own father wasn't here." He said, continuing to laugh.
"Oh, hush." I said jokingly. He stopped laughing.
"No, but seriously he's at Charlies. He said he'd be back in a little while." He told me. I nodded.
We talked like that for a little while, before he had to go. Dad wasn't back so I fixed some Ramen for myself. I was really hungry since I hadn't had anything for lunch Then, I changed into my pajamas, and crawled into the sheets. Unlike the first night here,I was thinking happy thoughts. Maybe things would be a little better with the Cullen's around.
