I woke up clutching at my chest and screaming again. It wasn't anything that I wasn't used to, but Charlie sure as hell wasn't used to it. He was kneeling down by my bed looking at me with wide and frightened eyes. I tried to steady my breathing, but it wasn't working just yet. I was crying; nothing scared Charlie more than tears. But he stayed next to me anyways, looking at me and telling me everything was alright, that I was safe and those men could never hurt me again.
I shook in the shower, hoping that the hot water would soothe my knotted muscles, but of course I had no luck with that. My nightmares stared at me through the back of my eyelids every time I closed my eyes. The dream last night was different, more scary somehow. The men that… did what they did to me, they had dark brown eyes when they did it. In my dream, their eyes were red and their lips were tainted with my blood, and they were pale white and cold to the touch. I shivered in the shower and got out because it wasn't really helping at all.
I walked downstairs after I finished getting ready; I wasn't wearing anything special, just a pair of worn blue jeans and a dark blue t-shirt, with my hair in a messy pony tail. I didn't bother with make-up, I didn't really know how to use it and it was kind of a waste of money in my opinion. People should just show what they really look like instead of hiding behind a mask. Charlie was sitting at the table drinking some coffee and rereading yesterday's paper. "Hey dad." I said quietly as I sat down beside him with a glass of water, I was too nervous to eat. "Hey Bells." He said and made an effort to look up at me. "About this morning," I started, I couldn't make my voice go above a whisper, "I should have warned you… that happens more often than not." I told him, still looking at him to see how he would handle that information. He didn't seem surprised; Rene must have tipped him off already. Which reminded me, I needed to call her…
"It's alright Bella. It's just… the way you were screaming… I thought someone was actually hurting you, I will stay out of your room for now on but… it will be hard." He said and looked down, I did too. "Okay Dad… I'm sorry I can't help it… I have nightmares." I told him. I saw him nod, "It's okay, well I have to get to work." He said. Thank goodness, he didn't want me to tell him what my nightmares were about. I let out a sigh of relief. "Alright dad, have a good day at work." I said. "Good luck at school today." He said then gave me a kiss on my forehead and left.
I looked at the clock; I had about thirty minutes left before I could even think about getting into my truck and driving to the school, so I decided to take the quiet time and call Rene. She was of course completely worried that I never made it off the plane because I didn't email her the second I got into the house. I smiled and laughed a bit. Scatter brained Rene, I was just glad she was traveling with Phil now; she would need someone to take care of her.
When I got to the school no one was there. I loved this truck though, the engine was loud but that was okay, it helped me to drain out the chatter in my head. I parked in front of the main office and cut the engine, I didn't know if I was allowed to park here or not so I left my bag in the truck. I walked in and there were plants everywhere. There is plenty of green outside; do they honestly need more inside? "Excuse me?" I asked softly to the receptionist. She looked up at me with a fake smile, makeup almost like plaster on her face. 'And she thinks she looks good?' I thought to myself. "Uhm. I'm Isabella Swan, I'm new here." I told her softly. She smiled at me, "Ah yes the chiefs daughter, hold on a moment." She said and shuffled through papers. She handed me my schedule and told me to get it signed and bring it back to her at the end of the day. She also gave me a map of the school and showed me how to use it. I thanked her and walked out into the rain.
People started filling into the school, so I quickly got back into my truck and parked it somewhere else, then got out and began to walk up to the school. "Hey! Hey Isabella!" I heard someone call my name, so naturally I turned around to see who it was. A boy with blonde hair and blue eyes walked up towards me. I began to panic, but I tried to hide it. I didn't want to be known as some kind of weirdo or something. I tried to smile, and I think I managed it. "Hey, I'm Mike." He said flashing me – what he probably thought of as a brilliant smile. "Hi, I'm Bella." I said. He offered me his hand and I cautiously shook it. "So how do you like Forks so far?" he asked trying to make a conversation. He still held onto my hand, and I tried to pull it back but he wouldn't let me.
I began to panic again; I could feel my heart start hammering in my chest and my breathing hitch in my throat. "Mike leave Bella alone!" I heard a girl say coming up to me. I didn't know anyone here, so this confused me. A short pixie like girl bounded up to me, looking at me as if she had known me her entire life and Mike let go of me. Whoever this girl was, she just saved me from a huge panic attack in the girl's bathroom. She smiled up at me and winked, "Come on Bells, I will show you to your classes." She said and held out her hand, I took it, for some reason she had the most trusting expression. She led me away from Mike, which I was most thankful for. She had the most unusual and beautiful eyes as well, and her skin was cold as ice. I felt like I was holding hands with a moving statue actually. It reminded me of my dream last night, but I tried my best to shrug it off. Clearly she wasn't those guys, and she didn't have read eyes. I don't have anything to fear. Right? "Thank you, so much." I told her with sincerity. She smiled, "I could see he was bothering you, so I decided to help out. I'm Alice by the way; it's nice to finally meet you Bella." She said with a huge grin that I couldn't help but return.
We were walking up to a group of people that oddly looked like her, only completely different in their own way. They all were the same shade of pale, if that makes sense, and all of them were strikingly beautiful. The bad part? Three of them were guys. I gulped and thought if Alice just saved me from Mike, surely she wouldn't lead me to guys that would hurt me in any way. I just had to try and believe that thought. "Everyone, this is Bella." Alice introduced me and let go of my hand. They all looked our way, and all had the same color eyes. Weird. But beautiful. "Bella this is Jasper, Emmett, Edward, and Rosalie." She said pointing to each of them. Rosalie smiled at me, and Emmett had a huge grin on his face, I couldn't help but return it. He was huge, muscled and tall, but something about him didn't really scream dangerous to me. Jasper gave me this small little wave type thing, and Edward stepped closer to me and held out his hand, I looked from his hand then to Alice. She smiled encouragingly so I looked back to Edward, who had a warm and inviting smile on his face, and shook his hand.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Bella." He said and brought my hand to his lips while keeping eye contact with me and kissed the top of my hand, then let it go gently. I was blushing furiously, I knew that already without Emmett having to go, "Oh man look at her blush!" when it happened. That just made me blush more. Then I heard a loud SMACK! And I had to look up, Rosalie had hit Emmett in the back of the head, and he was rubbing it like it hurt. That made me laugh a little bit. "What classes do you have Bella?" Edward asked me gently. I handed him my schedule. "Ah, I see. Well it looks like we have a few classes together. First, third, lunch, and sixth period." He said and smiled at me. I nodded and smiled a bit. Alice looked over Edward's shoulder, "Oh and I have second, fourth and eighth period with Bella!" She almost screamed and started bouncing up and down. I laughed, she was too hyper.
Edward walked me to class. Apparently I had fifth period with Emmett, seventh with Jasper, and eighth with both Alice and Rosalie. Well at least now I knew people. I found it very odd that I wasn't really afraid of Edward, Jasper, and Emmett. I don't know why that is, but I guess it was just something about them… "So Bella, you ready for class?" Edward asked with a crooked grin. I smiled back, "As ready as I will ever be." I said and he held the door open. He went to his seat and I went up to the teacher.
The rest of the day went pretty much in that order. I found out that the other kids in the school called them all the Cullen's, and no one has ever really made friends with them but me. Huh. That's odd. I found Edward the most fascinating, he talked in such an old fashioned manor, and besides Alice and Rosalie he talked to me the most. Well, unless Emmett was talking to me, actually mostly he wasn't really talking to me he was talking to everyone that would listen, which usually ended up in me being embarrassed.
When the school day was over all of the Cullen's but Jasper gave me a hug, and when I got home all I could think about was Edward Cullen, and how in the world he managed to occur in my every thought.
A/N Yeah I know it's pretty much OOC but eh, I'd like to think of them all being open and happy to invite Bella. Next chapter will have different POV in it, and I hope yall like it!
