Okay! Not the longest chapter we have here but, if you'd wanted longer you should have reviewed people! Seriously! 2 reviews for one chapter? I was slightly hurt that you guys don't love me anymore. :/
So, on this account, I didn't have the social worker come back in this chapter because well, Emmett only making 2 insults? HE'D HAVE LOST HIS TOUCH. So yeah, guys, review this if you're so nice! Just 2 seconds to say 'HEY THAT WAS GOOD.' Or 'HEY THAT WAS RUBBISH' or 'HEY DUDE. LOL' gosh, it doesn't have to have anything to do with the story if you don't want it to be!
Disclaimer: You know the drill; Jasper can feel the jealousy flowing off of me like Bella looking at Rosalie. Seriously, NOT GOOD. AT ALL. YESYES?
Chapter 4 recap...
I looked into Alice's golden eyes and we smiled at each other.
"Here we go!" She laughed as we hit the main road.
Chapter 5
Bella's point of view.
I laughed and squealed with excitement with Alice, this was a new start and, hopefully, a great new start. We went at a fairly average speed- Carlisle wouldn't stop looking back at me to check that I was okay. I told him to keep his eyes on the road, I was... well, paranoid to say the most. I didn't let go of Alice's hand until we got back to their house.
Just seconds before we pulled into the drive it dawned on me, I was going to have to face all of Alice's siblings. Of course, they might be just as nice as Alice is and as nice as she says they are but... what if they didn't like me?
A small tear started to blur my vision and, before anyone could notice, I wiped my eyes and passed it off to Alice as I was just tired. She smiled back at me and told me that she'd show me my room as soon as we got in and then I could have a nap, I smiled back.
Deciding that I'd keep as quiet as possible around the other children in the house, I stepped out of the car and ran back over to Alice, automatically holding her cold hard hand in my own little pink hand. I looked up at her and smiled,
"Don't be shy around them Bella, I'm sure they're going to love you. I can just tell." Alice told me before we reached the door of the house. We paused momentarily whilst I looked at the house. It was huge.
It was a castle more than a house, or perhaps a palace of some sorts. I could imagine a royal family in it. The house was white from tip to toe with wooden panelling and walls made of nothing but pure glass that reflected the surrounding tree's off of them slightly. The front doors were up a few wooden steps, the same wood that the panelling was made of, and made of glass, just like the glass walls. It seemed so pristine, so perfect- as if no one had ever lay a finger on the house without wiping it off again.
It almost reminded me of a dolls house, a very special one made of glass and wood and perfect white materials that a collector refused to touch without a need to.
Before I'd even had time to admire it's forest surroundings Alice had picked me up and walked me inside as to avoid the drips of rain that now only fell from the canopy's of leaves overhead. She sat me down on a bench right on the inside of the house and took off my shoes, all in silence. I saw Dr Cullen and his wife walk off and whisper something to Alice before they did.
"Come on Bella, everyone's waiting to meet you!" Alice squealed excitedly- I was afraid that the squealing might one day become one of my large pet hates. No, I wasn't afraid, I was certain. I laughed inwardly at my line of thoughts before holding back onto Alice's hand and skipping alongside her and admiring the special artworks that covered the pristine white walls.
There were paintings of people- like the Cullen's- white as snow and as beautiful as a flower in the summertime. I couldn't help but stop every now and then to admire them in more detail. Young and inquisitive I might have, everyone couple of pictures, reached out to touch them just to feel the lumps and bumps of the dried paint.
"Hurry up Bella! Maybe you can look at the photos and paintings with Carlisle another day, but right now we have a pa- family to meet!" she cut herself off abruptly after only sounded out a 'pa'. I wondered what she was going to say, of course, I let it drop. If I were to ask, she's only refuse and then I would be far too stubborn to move until she told me.
It was like I knew myself far too well.
We finally came to a room. It was large and had glass walls all the way round apart from one wall- as white as everything else in the house, which sat where the door we entered were. The furniture was made of light creams and whites. A long sofa in the middle of the room was a cream with brown and green cushions that, vaguely, reminded me of outside.
The love seat in the corner was the same, cream with green and brown cushions, however, there were a lot more on there. The cream rug along the cream carpet looked heavenly soft- I had to hold myself back from running straight towards it and lying down.
There was, too, a large TV mounted upon a wooden set of drawers that fit into the room perfectly- like that last piece of a jigsaw. The last thing, aside from the various small artworks, that my eyes were attracted to was the large, oversized chimney on the white wall. Beautiful red flames roared out of the coals and made sizzling and popping noises as the flames warmed the room by a degree every minute. If I should have described it then, and I knew words aplenty, I think I'd have said lush.
I must have been so absorbed in the little details, that I missed the giant 'WELCOME TO YOUR NEW HOME' and the crowd of people stood before me- and all I could do was blush.
The party was in words, unexpected. At least I knew what Alice almost said to me as we walked to the room.
I blushed, a lot, and kept quiet with the occasional smile and murmur of 'thank you' or 'hello'.
Alice was right however, everyone was ever so nice to me. They were all extremely pretty, as pale as vanilla ice creams, eyes like melted butterscotch and beauty beyond human possibilities. I tried to great all of them and remember all of their names and what they were like- I was surprisingly good at this.
Alice first introduced me to Jasper, her adopted brother but also Alice's boyfriend. At first I giggled, but Alice explained that it was okay, so I stopped laughing from the outside, but the blush from my inward laughing was inevitable.
Jasper smiled kindly at me and shook my hand politely, like a true gentleman. He soon enough stood back though, as if I had some kind of odour of some sort. I mentally told myself I needed a nice long shower now I was finally out of the hospital.
Then I met Rosalie, Jasper's twin and Alice's adoptive sister. She was, probably, the most beautiful girl I had ever seen in my life. She had long blond hair and perfect features, I struggled to hide my jealousy, and honestly, I think it showed because I caught a glimpse of Jasper smiling a little. Perhaps I wasn't the first to feel this.
I expected Rosalie to be in a league of her own and ignore me to an extent- just the average little girl. She was the opposite in most ways however. She bent down to my height,
"Hey there Bella. I'm Rosalie, but you can call me Rose." She smiled and her eyes almost burned with maternal instincts rather like Esme. "I'm sure we're going to have lots of fun!" She gave me a light hug at my height before standing back up and handing me back over to Alice who took me to meet Emmett, Rosalie's boyfriend.
I didn't get a chance to examine him before I was swooped up into a bear hug that only barely let me breathe. I was spun round a couple of times and patted heavily on the back before my hair was ruffled up by a large hand. I was placed back on the floor and saw a bear of a man, dark curls on his head and muscles that belonged to a wrestler.
"Hey there little sis!" He winked playfully and messed my hair up again, Emmett looked like great fun.
Then we moved onto Alice's last sibling.
Edward.
He was, like the others, nice to me. Polite and all but there was a high tension between us and, I swear, I saw his eyes darken as we moved towards him. He nodded his head and introduced himself as Edward, wished me luck with the family and then with only a quick whisper to Carlisle he ran out of the room unexpectedly.
I looked at Alice with confusion but she shrugged it off and picked me up to dance a bit with her to some of the music that blasted from the television. Partying had never been something I'd ever thought I'd enjoy, I wasn't even the slightest of a girly girl. I didn't enjoy dance because I was rather uncoordinated but, with Alice it was a lot easier. Like I was safe and happy.
The night passed without a thought of my parents until I was set into my new bedroom.
It seemed the Cullen's had gone to lengths to secure I had my own home comforts. My old teddy bear, my old rocking chair, the same old throw and even my mommy's jewellery box I remembered daddy getting her only last Christmas. The tears, once again, welled in my eyes. I felt like an over emotional wreck and didn't want to attract any attention so, once again, I rubbed my eyes.
After changing into a comfortable 'little princess' night gown that Alice had picked up for me from home I climbed into the large double bed in the centre of my new bedroom. I finally took this chance to look around.
The walls were light purple and accessories around my room varied from the darkest purples to the lightest of pinks. I was almost shocked at how much I actually liked it. There were various toys and, much to my distaste and Alice's taste, clothes hung on hangers in closets and on doors and... well, everywhere.
It was so perfect that it was wrong. Had the Cullen's gone to all this trouble for me? The little orphaned girl?
I finally let my tears shed and pushed my head into my pillow and fell into sweet dreams about my mommy, my daddy and how life should be.
Like it? Hate it? Feel like saying something TOTALLY random?
THEN REVIEW. I'll give y'all cyber cookies and maybe even mention you in the next chapter? If you review that is. In fact, if I feel mean then I might not even review until I get at least.. 5 reviews. Not hard is it? xD
