"Mom?" I walked through the door of the address she'd told me after paying the taxi.
"Mom?" I shouted louder.
"In here sweetie." I walked upstairs to see my mom sitting in bed watching TV. She smiled brightly when she saw me and I couldn't help but crawl up by her and hug her letting a few tears escape. Her room was brown and cream and she had a leather double bed in the middle of the room, she had a plasma TV stuck to the wall, a wardrobe and a set of draws along with a long mirror. I was too busy being comforted from my mom to realize how simple it was., which was new for her.
"Don't worry sweetheart, everything will be ok, it'll get better, I promise." She cooed in my ear, I knew that she was just trying to comfort me because; we all knew that no one ever really forgets their first love. Edward didn't know that though I guess. After catching up with my mom I went back downstairs to look around. The house was tiny but it looked really good thanks to Phil's money. It had a front room which was painted red and gold. It had a TV, two settees, a built in bar, an open fire which had coal in it that obviously was always there, I'm guessing gas and, a huge stereo, good for future parties. The bar was fully stocked so I poured myself a JD and coke before going back into the living room that had the stairs leading from it. The living room was plain cream, a huge difference to the front room but, I guess my mom hadn't gotten around to painting it yet, she hadn't long moved in herself. This room was rather dull compared to the front room. Just a TV, a settee, a chair, a rug and an electric fire. The kitchen was the worst. How was I supposed to cook in a room I could barely move in? The room wasn't very wide and it was in a rectangular shape, it had a cooker, cupboards, a washing machine, and the sides went from the living room doorway to the end doorway. I couldn't see a fridge. I walked through the stupidly tiny kitchen into a tiny room sort of thing. I don't know what to call it. All it had was the back door and the fridge with a tumble drier on top of it. The room was probably two foot long if that. I went into the bathroom which was connected to the, I'm guessing pantry? Whatever it sounds better than tiny room. The bathroom was blue with mirrors covering one side of it, a sink, a built in, two in one, bath and shower and a toilet obviously. Overall so far it was tiny, dull and just like my house in Forks. I quietly walked back up the stairs to check out my room. Mom was still watching TV and I walked into the only other upstairs door. I went through and immediately loved my new room. The walls were painted in a deep mysterious purple and the floor was a thick black carpet. There was a 65 inch Plasma Tv, a games console, a cable box, my own built in bar, another huge stereo, and the bed was exactly the one I had wanted before. It was a leather bed, with a memrephome mattress and if you lifted the mattress up there was a compartment underneath to hide things. The quilt cover was a plain deep purple and I was astonished at how much I loved my room. I was even more shocked when I realized my mom had filled the bar with every type of alcohol I could think of: JD, whiskey, WKD, MD 20 20, Shots, Sambuca, Wine and the rest. I was definitely going to be getting drunk a lot. Yeah I know I had never drank in my life apart from at a few weddings, but I was different girl now, a bad girl, which went the whole ten miles, sex, drugs and rock and roll. Meaning alcohol, fags, weed, possibly sex. Who knows? If Edward didn't want me what was the point?
I had just gone up to my room after a take out dinner with my mom and Phil, I had found out I was starting at Barrs Hill Secondary School And Community College in a week. They were going to let me pick but mom just wanted me to start school again and get my life back. Thankfully it was just the right kind of school, fair few trouble causing teens but with just enough good marks to make it seem like that wasn't happening. Right now we were on spring break. I had decided tomorrow I was going to go shopping in the city centre to get some proper clothes. When I told Phil my plans for the day he gave me my own credit card and then led me outside telling me he had a surprise for me. Stepping outside I immediately saw a car that hadn't been there when I arrived. It was gorgeous. I never knew cars but this one I would be able to recognize anywhere. It was a black, Mercedes guardian. They weren't even out in Europe yet. That wasn't his only surprise. He handed me a magazine filled with motorbikes and told me to pick one out and he would have it delivered before I started school. I had picked a hot-rod Buell Lightening in black. I knew Charlie would have a fit if he saw it; he hated them with a vengeance I honestly didn't care. I couldn't wait. Jacob had taught me how to ride and now I was going to get a faster and newer looking one. I so love Phil right now. I went upstairs to bed and crawled under the quilts sleeping better than I had for the past few months.
When I woke up I headed downstairs for breakfast. I was really happy when Phil said we were going out for breakfast, I just couldn't imagine cooking in that tiny room. He took us to a new place and I ordered a full English. Mom was shocked, I guess she'd spoken to Charlie.
"Bella, your dad was saying you haven't eaten properly since Edward left and that you were worse once Jacob did. How come you're eating fine now?" I looked at my mom with a big smile. I had winced when she'd mentioned there names but I was so used to it the hole wasn't nearly as bad.
"I don't know, I guess I'm just ready for my fresh start." Breakfast was a quiet event after that and when we got home I climbed into my new car and drove into the city centre parking it outside an Italian food place called Etna's. Hmm good place for lunch.
