Chapter 5

BPOV

It felt soooooo good to be out of that hospital, let me tell you now. So much had happened all in a rush I barely had time to

think about what had happened. I did the most of my sobbing at night when no-one could hear me – other people didn't

need my burden of sorrow. But now that feeling of despair was joined with slight excitement, with the knowledge that I was

going to live with Alice. I had a lot of questions though. Last night when Alice prattled on about her siblings – Edmond,

Rosie, Jasper and Matt I think (it was a little confusing at the time) – how come I'd never heard about them? And her parents

too? I wondered why she was suddenly being so open about them. I awoke from my reverie by the slight bump as the car

stopped outside – an absolutely magical home. I stepped out of the car, awestruck by the simple yet beautiful structure that

stood before me. I felt like I was in the middle of nowhere. It was all green around me and I could see a small stream

trickling round the side, cupping the side of their home.

"I love it…" I said gazing around me, "It's absolutely perfect!" Carlisle chuckled and Alice danced inside with my things.

"I'm glad you like it Isabella – or do you prefer a nickname? Izzy, perhaps?" I shook my head and crinkled my nose.

"Nah – not Izzy. Bella." He smiled and opened the door for me.

"Come inside!!" Alice called from the house so, with an encouraging nod and smile from Carlisle, I stepped inside my new home.

Inside was even better than the outside. It was done up nicely but not overdone – the furnishings looked like they came

from the 1800's – or perhaps even earlier. I looked around gazing at the furniture, the walls, the kitchen, my eyes feasting

upon whatever they laid on. Till they saw Alice's family. My jaw literally dropped. The five members of the Cullen family I had

yet to meet were even more astounding than the ones I already had. They were astonishingly, amazingly, stikingly… perfect!
