Chapter 2- All you need are friends
3 months later
The last of my bags were packed into my car. I was headed off to the University of Seattle today. My mom came outside and walked over to me. She smiled at me and grabbed my hand.
"Be careful." She whispered. I tried to smile at her, but not sure how it looked. Ever since the car wreck, and Jacob…, my life has been pointless. I went into depression soon after the wreck. I tried to be lively for my mom, to hide my depression, but she still noticed. And now today I was leaving her. I didn't want to. I needed her as much as she needed me, but I had to go.
"I will. Don't worry, ok. I'll call as soon as I get there." And I would, just so I could hear her voice again. She pulled me into a hug then and crushed me to her.
"Charlie would be so proud of you." She whispered. She started to cry, while I just held her. After a minute or so, she stopped crying and looked at me. She smiled a sad smile.
"I love you." She said as she kissed the top of my head.
"I love you too, mom." And I turned around and got into my car. I pulled out of the driveway and waved to my mom. And with that, I drove off. I drove for a mile or so before my vision started to blur. I felt tears roll down my cheeks, and I pulled over on the side of the road. I started to sob right there in my car. I sobbed for my mom, for me, and for my loss of Jacob. I wish he was here right now. To soothe my crying. We would be going to college together right now, if the wreck hadn't of happened. The sobs came faster. I closed my eyes, and like many other times, he was there. His face was full of sadness.
"Shhhh, Bells. I'm right here." He whispered. He reached out a hand even though he couldn't touch me.
"Don't cry. Please, don't cry for me. It's all right." He whispered in a pained voice. Then, a truck went by and honked its horn. I opened my eyes, and Jacob faded away. I wiped my eyes and pulled back onto the road, and made my way to Seattle.
"Hi, I'm Rosalie." She held out her hand, and I took it. She smiled at me. I looked her over. She had an amazing body that any model would die for. She had long, flowing blonde hair. And a great complexion, and her smile was breathtaking.
"Hi, I'm Bella. It's nice to meet you." I said, smiling my broken smile.
I arrived at U. of S. about 30 minutes ago. I got my schedule and classes, then my room number. When I got to my room though, I found out I had a roommate, Rosalie.
"So… is this your first year here?" she asked, trying to start a conversation.
"Yeah, it is. What about you?" I asked. She smiled at me, obviously pleased that I responded.
"Yes, actually. My friend Alice and I got here yesterday. Oh…" a surprised look crossed her face.
"I forgot, we have another roommate. She's my best friend, Alice. She's out right now, but she should be…" she didn't get to finish because the door busted open and a small pixie-like girl walked in. She was small, with spiky black hair, and she was grinning a huge grin, and her eyes were dancing. Then, 2 guys followed her in. The first one was small, but taller than the pixie-like girl. He had a well build, sandy blonde hair, and a calm look that covered his face. The second one that followed was just plain huge. He had a huge build, a huge body, dark curly hair, and a huge smile plastered on his face.
"Hey Alice. Look, we have a new roomy. Her name is Bella." Rosalie introduced me.
"HI! I'm Alice!" she trilled. I looked at her and she was literally bouncing up and down in excitement, until the calm guy put a hand on her shoulder.
"Alice, please calm down." He had a calm soothing voice.
"Sorry." She said in a lower voice and stopped bouncing. The huge one chuckled.
"Hi. I'm Jasper." The calm one introduced himself. "I'm Alice's boyfriend." That's when I noticed that their hands were entwined and they were standing close to each other.
"Hey! I'm Emmett! I'm Rosalie's boyfriend." The huge one boomed. He had a loud, but kind voice. I just waved at them.
"Hi." I said timidly. "So, um… where do I stay?" I asked softly.
"Oh." Rosalie said. She flitted past me to Emmett and kissed him on the cheek.
"Be right back." She promised.
"'k." he said and his huge smile appeared. She came back to me and gestured for me to follow, so I did.
"You and I will have to share a room." She said as we walked into a big room.
"You can sleep here." She gestured to the vacant bed.
"Ok. Thanks a lot." I smiled small. Her eyes wondered across my face searching. She smiled back, and walked from the room.
I set my stuff on the bed and started to unpack. I looked over at the clock. It was already 7:00 p.m. I sighed. I set up my bed, and put my clothes away. I changed into my pj's and walked out to the living room. Everyone was sitting around watching T.V.
"Hey, um… I'm going to go to bed." I said. Rosalie looked up at me and smiled. She was cuddled up into Emmett's chest. Alice and Jasper were on the floor, Alice's head resting on Jasper's shoulder.
"Ok, goodnight." Rosalie said sweetly.
"Night." And I turned and went into the room. I laid down on the bed and closed my eyes. Before I fell asleep, I remember feeling a few small tears fall down my cheeks.
When I opened my eyes, I was in a car. I looked around and I saw Jacob. He was rocking his head to the music. Oh no! Not again. I thought. Jacob turned his head to look at me. His lopsided grin appeared on his face.
"What?" he asked, still smiling.
"N-n-nothing." I breathed. He must of thought that me being breathless was because of him, so his smile just widened. I just stared at him, taking in his face, his smile. But all to quickly, lights appeared behind him. NOOOO! I screamed in my head.
"JACOB!!" I screamed and pointed behind him.
"SHIT!!" and he slammed on the breaks, but it was to late. He turned to me.
"Bella…" he didn't finish. Just like the real thing, the truck hit us fast and hard and I jerked up in my bed screaming. I realized I was in my room then and stopped. Then I felt something wet falling down my cheeks. I put my hand to my face and realized I was crying. I wiped off my face and looked at the clock. It was only 4:00 a.m. in the morning. I looked around the dark room and that's when I noticed Rosalie. She was sitting upright in her bed, her eyes wide and filled with worry, and she was staring at me.
"Bella…" she hesitated. "Are… you okay?" she whispered. I stared at her for a moment. No sense in lying, considering how we'll be living with each other for a while. I thought.
"No… I'm not." I whispered in a broken voice. She came over and sat on my bed. She grabbed my hand and held it.
"Tell me… please. I want to help." She pleaded. I just nodded.
"It happened 3 months ago…" I started and we just sat there as I retold my story. In some parts I had to stop because I would start to cry. When I finished, it was 6:00 a.m. in the morning, and Rosalie looked like she was about to cry too. She just pulled me into a hug, and I just started to sob into her shoulder.
"Shhh, it's ok. You'll get through this. Don't worry, I'm here." She soothed. And in that moment, I knew Rosalie and me were going to be great friends. And of course me and Alice would be great friends. I knew that from the beginning just by the way she liked me instantly earlier today.
