When I got off the plane, I didn't know what to expect. I knew Paul was going to be coming to pick me up, but I had no idea what he looked like, or if he knew what I looked like.
Luckily, after I collected my bags, I saw a tall tan skinned Native American holding a sigh reading 'Bella McGrath'
I smiled, he was using his own last name as my own I was sort of surprised when I saw he wrote 'Bella,' but knowing Jake, he must have told him I liked being called anything but my full name, Isabella.
"Hi." I told him shyly.
Paul looked down at me and smiled. He quickly picked me up and spun me around. I giggled as I heard him give a hearty laugh and continued to spin around. After a while, he set me down and looked at me.
"I'm Paul, your brother." He flashed me a dazzling smile. I could tell he really like the word 'brother' and I think I liked hearing it too.
"Hi, I'm Bella, your sister." I smiled, just as equally bright. Sister…It was weird, but I could get used to it.
We stood there for a few minutes just getting to know each other, and then he took my bags from my hands.
"Come on, let's get you home. Jake really wants to see you." He chuckled.
I laughed along with him and hopped in his car.
Paul was a really sweet guy. Within a few minutes I learned a lot.
He was hot tempered, and sometimes gets overly protective. I noticed how independent he was, but he admitted that he has always wanted a sibling.
I saw how his face brightened up when we talked about everyone, and I knew he was a family guy.
I had to laugh when he told me that he likes to come off as a jerk just to surprise everyone in the end.
When he asked about me, I felt so boring.
I told him about Renee and what she was like. Then I told him about Phil and what a great dad he has been trying to be.
When he asked me how Renee died, I got uncomfortable.
He must have noticed because he put a hand on my leg.
"It's ok. You don't have to tell me." He looked at me briefly before turning his eyes back on the road.
"So where are you going to be living? Cause I was thinking that…well…if you didn't really have a place…you could um… stay with me?" he squeaked out at the end.
I smiled and looked at him. "I would love to come live with you. I was thinking of staying at Charlie's but I never had time to get stuff together. Everything just kind of happened so fast…" I kept blabbing on before looking over and saw him a laughing a little.
A blush began to appear on my cheeks and I looked away.
"…Well thank you." I mumbled.
"Anytime sis."
I smiled widely. I glanced over to him to find him smiling just as wide.
After a few minutes of watching the scenery passed me by, I looked at Paul.
"So where exactly are we going?"
"Oh right. Sorry. We are going to Jakes. I was thinking of just stopping by there and then go back to my…I mean our place." He corrected.
I smiled wide again. Our place.
"Sounds great. Actually is it ok if we all go to a car dealership around here after? I was hoping you and Jake could help me pick out a new car."
"Of course. I would be honored. I mean Jake knows more than me about cars, but I'm sure I could help."
I nodded.
After a few more minutes I knew we were in La Push. The scenery and feel was all different.
The sun was out shining bright; and there was sand and warmth everywhere.
It was totally different than Forks. Forks was muddy, rainy and cold. The totally opposite of La Push.
I felt excitement run through me as I knew I would be seeing Jake.
The car soon began to slow down and pulled up to the once familiar house.
I saw Jake sitting on the porch and I quickly hopped out of the car before it came to a full stop.
"Jake!" I yelled and ran into his arms.
"Bells!" he said in relief.
"I missed you." I cried in happiness.
He squeezed me tight.
"Oh I missed you too! I can't believe your back!"
I giggled as he swung me in the air.
When he finally put me down, I took a good look at him.
"Damnnn." I said giving him the look over.
I saw a slight blush appear on those tan cheeks of his.
"Man Jake, you and Paul are pretty hot."
He chuckled uncomfortably.
"Yea, it just kind of started to happen. Growth spurt I guess."
I rolled my eyes and ogled over his body. "Mmhhmm."
I looked over to Paul. I smiled as he looked between us, just leaning against his car.
I waved to him and saw his own grin spread across his face.
"So you're liking Paul by the looks of it." Jake claimed.
I tuned my attention back to him and smiled widely.
"It's great Jake. He's so nice, and the whole car ride, I feel like I have known him forever. Did you know he has a hot temper? And that he has always wanted a sister? And one time he-…."
I started babbling when I looked at Jake's face. He was grinning like he won the lottery.
"What?" I stopped, catching my breath from talking so fast.
"I'm glad you're happy Bells, I didn't think having Paul in your life would make you so…chipper."
I bit my lip, trying to hold back another smile. "Yea, I like it. I mean…I have a brother... A brother." I said rolling the word off my tongue again.
I thought about Paul and everything again, before turning back to Jake.
"Oh! Before I forget…I was thinking you could help me car shop?" I asked excitedly.
Jake's face lit up like a kid at the candy store. I knew he loved cars, motorcycles, or well anything else that could go fast and had wheels.
"Seriously?" he squealed.
"Yess." I said laughing as he picked me up, spinning me in circles again.
Right when he set me down he was dragging me to his car.
"Come on Bells, let's go! So what kind of car were you thinking cause they have…"
"Jake!" I laughed, cutting him off.
"Paul is going to come too. So I'm going to ride with him. But follow us ok?" I asked, pulling away and walking to Paul's car.
I saw Jakes face drop a little, so I yelled to him.
"But I was thinking an American brand? Like a Ford?"
Jakes face lit up again. "Ok, I will think of a good car for you Bells. Nice choice though!" he yelled and hopped in his car.
