Chapter 2

Enjoy. =]
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It took two days to get to Forks,Washington. It would have tooken only a day if we drove non-stop. But we left mid-afternoon. So we stopped at a hotel.

Charlie woke me up.

He said we just passed the Welcome to Forks sign. I should've tooken a picture..or something.

He said not to worry about it.

So I didn't.

We passed the Forks Loggers Memorial.

And some stores. Wow they have Chinese Food here.

Who would've thought. I heard this town was so small in five minutes who'd be downtown.

Hmm just a rumor I guess. I'm glad I love Chinese Food.

We passed the Olympic National Forest. Which is everywhere.

Literally.

We passed a grocery store.

We passed the High School. Which I am very glad is not big. At all. Nice and quaint.

Just how I like it.

Dad said we were close to our new home. I hopes it quaint too.

Not big and exstragavent like our old- no Renee's house.

He said we'd be there soon.

He must have noticed my knee boucing up and down. And my fingernail chewing. Gross I know.

Its just a old habit. Old habits die hard. I would know.

We were slowing to a stop.

I was right it was quaint. Perfect.

Charlie has good taste. The apple didn't fall far from the tree. Did it?

We got out quiet and slowly. I wonder if he was thinking the same thing as me. I didn't blink.

I was kinda afraid if I did.

Spoof!

It would be gone. Charlie must have thought the same thing because his eyes were wide open. Just like mine.

Then pretty much at the same time a smile slowly made its way on our faces.

We both looked at each other. Our smiles wider then ever. And I bolted to the house. Charlie still behind. He was getting slow. Maybe we should start running more. Because by the time I made it to the door ( which was not far at all ) I was wheezing. Damn I am outta shape.

At least I'm a little faster than Charlie.

Like I said before 'The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.'

He got the key out of his pocket and unlocked the door and swung it open. It was beautiful. The floors were hardwood. The walls were a creamish white color. To the left was the living room. Then down the hall was a staircase. And to the right was the kitchen and dining room. All in one.

Charlie was still in the living room. Probably wondering where he wanted his flat screen at.

I went upstairs. A little way in was a door. It was a bathroom. I shut the door. I went down further down, another door. It was a room. I figured that one could be Charlies. Its right by the bathroom too. And closer to the kitchen.

I remember him saying one room had a bathroom connected to it. I called it right off the bat.

Further down at the end in the hall was my room.

I opened the door. It was perfect. The walls were a lilac color. There was a nice,big window in the middle of the room. With a sitting area. I should buy some little throw pillows.

On the right side was a door. I figured it was my bathroom. I looked around. Where was my closet? I went into the bathroom. It was nice. Had a counter with a sink. A nice bathtub. And a nice seperate shower. Maybe I shouldn't show Charlie. He'd change his mind. Probably.

There was a little half wall that covered the toilet on both sides. It kinda looked like a stall. On the other side of it was another door. My closet hopefully. Yep. It was my closet. A big one too. I could fit a bed in here. Make it a little guest room. Cool. Defiantly my new fortress. I closed it a walked out of the bathroom. And went back to my room to figure out where I want my stuff. Eh didn't really matter right now. So I went downstairs. Charlie wasn't anywhere insight. He must be unpacking. I decided to go outside. No he wasn't unpacking he was talking to the neighbors, I guess.

He saw me and waved me over. This is my chance to socialize. Hopefully they have kids my age. Hopefully they weren't stucked up.

The couple who were talking to Charlie looked nice. So I wasn't that nervous. But still.

"Hey Bells. This is Mr. and Mrs. Cullen."

"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Cullen.

They were nice. They were good looking. Ecspecially . I wonder what their kids look like.

Beautiful, probably just like them. They did have kids. One boy and one girl.

The boy, Edward was 17. The girl Alice was 15.

They told me about them. They told me everything. I mean it too.

Edward was quiet and shy, but extremely handome. I believed that, and I haven't even seen him.

He played piano and was basically a science nerd. He doesn't have many friends. Acually just three. Not including his sister. Why would they tell me that? Oh, because they wanted me to be his new bestie. They didn't say that excactly. But I catch their drift. If you know what I'm sayin.

Now Alice was completley different and was basically a ball of energy that never stopped. Never.

I was acually a little scared. She was a beautiful young lady that resembles a pixie..was that was they said. Yeah thats right. She had tons of friends. Because she can get along with everybody.

And had a passion for fashion. Hm..like a Bratz Doll.

A little while later or a lot later. They left but not before inviting us for dinner. Good I didn't feel like cooking or going out. All we have to do is walk next door. Yay.

Charlie was happy. Charlie loved food. I wonder why he isn't fat. He eats like a horse. Maybe...I dunno. He's happy to be the Cheif of Police to such a humble little town. Me too I always worried he would get hurt on the job. The most that happened here was probably vandalism. Good. That was harmless enough.

We got our duffle bags from the U-Haul. And headed inside. It was about 4:30 according to my cell phone. We both went upstairs to our rooms and threw the bags on the floor. We went back outside to the U-Haul and he opened it up. All our stuff was just crammed in there. We were in a hurry. Would you blame us. The first box I grabbed was my box of books. I took it upstairs. And continued to get boxes.

Around 6:00 we took a break because in about a hour. We were going to eat next door.

All that was left were the beds,the couch,the table and pretty much everything else...big. I wonder who's gonna help Charlie. I mean I can, but it'll be hard I'm pretty weak. Man,was that a understatment.

We were both resting on the living room floor with the crease of our elbows covering our eyes. It was habit we both had. I was almost asleep when I heard a squeal.

"Eeeek! Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!"

I swear I jumped 10 feet in the air. My eyes wide open now. I looked up and there was tiny girl that resmebled a pixie. I wonder who she could be. Oh right Alice.

There weren't lyin,she was a ball of energy. She had a big goofy smile on her face. And was talking a mile a minute. I didn't understand a word. I looked over to my dad a little was too. His eyes were wide and eyebrows were furrowed. He looked at me then back to her. She wasn't paying any attentiona to him. None at all. Even when he cleared his throat. Twice.

So I took the liberty to speak up. Just a little.

"Uhm, hi?"

"HI!! How are you?! Wow! Mom and Dad were right! You are is gonna flip. Maybe ya'll could go out!!"

"Heh?"

"My brother Edward! Silly."

Okkkayy. Weirdest moment ever. She was just staring at me. I was still on the floor with my elbows behind me holding me up. Just staring back at her. Wait....she didn't even knock. Did she? No I would have heard it. Someone knocked I figured it was her parents. No it was a boy, an extremely handsome boy. I figured it was Edward. He was wearing glasse and and a thick blue sweater and blue jeans. Wow that sweater is god awful ugly. But he works the damn thing. Wow. I'm crushing over a boy. Been awhile. I looked back at Alice. She was still staring at me. She saw me ogling her brother. I could feel my cheeks burning. God, this is embarrasing.

"Alice,please don't attack the poor people. I'm very sorry for her. She forgot to take her medication."

Alice hit him in the arm. " I do not take medication!" Wow his laugh. Okay I'm even freaking myself out. Charlie got up and greeted them. Shook their hands blah, blah, blah.

I introduced myself. When he shook my hand. I felt a jolt of shock go up my arm. He had to have felt it too cause he jerked his hand back. And didn't look me in the eyes. At all. Alice said she came over because she needed someone to go to the Thriftway with her. I'm guessing it was the grocery store we passed ealier. I agreed to go with her. I asked Charlie first ofcourse. He said "Go. Have fun kiddo."

So I went.
Edward took us. I can drive. But I don't have a vehicle. He has a Volvo. It was nice, yeah. But it looked like it belonged to a old lady. Not a 17 year old boy. Me and Alice sat in the back. And talked, well she talked. I didn't really have to talk much. She supplyed all of the talk. She talked about everything. From boys to school to fashion. I zoned her out.
About 10 minutes later we were at the Thriftway. We got out and walked inside. Edward stayed in the car. I'm pretty sure because of me. He just handed Alice the money and we were off. Once we were inside she asked me about Phoenix. I didn't know what to say.

So I said, "It was okay. Pretty boring, sunny, lot of outdoor sports."

"Oh really? I love sunny places. When I grow up I want to live in California. Wait, why don't know you have a tan?"

I didn't want to get mad at her. She didn't do anything wrong. But that reminded me of my mother. "Uhm..b-because I stayed inside alot."

"Didn't you have friends, or a boyfriend? I mean your'e really pretty. I would think that you did. But oh well, your here now. Your my new bestest friend." OhhhhKayy..she talks alot. But thats good. I hope. I need a good mantra right about now. "Yeah okay. So whats up with your brother?"

"Edward? Don't worry he's just really really shy. But once you get to know him. He's uber sweet." I just had to laugh at that.
"Uber? Wow. I haven't heard that word since 3rd grade." She laughed too. I was acually kind of worried she would be offended. But no, she said' "I know right"

"Uhm, so what do we need anyways?"

"Just some eggs. Moms making her famous homemade chocalate chip cookies." Haha, wow does need more energy. I wonder what shes like when shes hyper. Shudder. I bet its scary. I feel a little bad for her family.

"So how do you like it here so far? I know you haven't been here long but you know what I mean."

"Uh, yeah its nice. Very...homey? I guess." We got the eggs and went down to the cash registers.

"Yeah, I know what you mean. Were from Chicago and we love it here. Nice and quiet. No drama. Ya know." Oh yes did I know. She payed for the eggs, a Cosmo magazine,and a couple of candy bars. I swear I didn't ask. I hope she doesn't get in trouble. She probably won't. But anyways. We walked back outside. And I swear it got colder. I wrapped my hands around my arms.

"Sorry I forgot to tell you to bring a jacket. I'm just used to everyone knowing to." Okay remember to bring a jacket everywhere I go. Check. Got that down.

"Its fine. I should've known. No worries." I should have worn pants. Damn shorts. "Well your dad is probably at our house. So we'll go straight there. Kay? Mom hasn't started dinner yet so we'll hangout in our game room. Right Eddie?"

"Yes. Don't talk to me while I'm driving. Got it. And do NOT call me Eddie. Got it."
"Ooooh, snippy snippy. Whats wrong Drama Queen? Forgot to change your tampon." I tried not to laugh so I bit the sides of my cheeks to keep from smiling. If looks could kill, Alice would be dead. Right about now. The whole laughing thing was kinda of hard when she was laughing her little ass off. Out of fucking nowhere he pulled the car over and slammed down on the brakes. We both hit the front of the seats. Ofcourse we forgot to put on seatbelts.

"What the shit!! Owww.." Thats right oww. My head hurt like shit. I think I'm bleeding. No, I'm not. Thank Jeezus.

"You think because your a girl and younger than me and theres someone else here I won't hit you?"
"Yeah you better not or I'll tell mom and daddy. Hah!" SHe jabbed her finger in his face. Ohh, bad move. He grabbed her finger and twisted it. Damn I bet that hurt.

"OWWW!! OWWW! OWW!! Okay okay okay!"
"One more peep, and I swear to god your gonna get it. Got it?" Silence.
"I said GOT IT?"
"You said not to talk!" "One more peep after that. And I'll go kung-fu on your shit got it." I couldn't help it I giggled. It was funny. He said kung-fu. And shit. I quickly covered my mouth when he just stared- no glared at me. "You too. I. Swear. I. Will."

I just stared backed. Completey scared to shit. I couldn't move or anything. Not even if I tried. I was numb. I could feel Alice staring at me. My eyes were still wide. I was stil scared. He sounded just him when said that. I- I didn't know what to do. So I didn't do anything. He was already driving again. I was starting to feel the blackness coming around and take me away.

Last thing I remember was Alice screaming and my body just dropped towards her.

I didn't mean to scare her. But I did.

But then I was out.
