Thanks for all of you being there for me. Thanks again, JenCullen28. P.S. I am going to make the year 2021, that puts Edward being 120 years old like in the last chapter I believe.
Chapter 47: Jennifer
Jennifer's P.O.V.
I woke up the next morning in a soft bed at the Cullen's house. It has been so long since I have slept in a bed. Its been a couple of days since we been back from the best bachelorette party ever. I am so loving this family and how they have taken care of me for the past few days. Now I have to go back to Seattle and back to he streets; I have been thinking about telling them about me I just don't know yet tho. I am afraid that if I tell them that they would turn on me and kick me out in a heart beat. Then again they may feel sorry for me and provide me with shelter and food when I need it. That Bella girl has it made living here with everyone. No I am just going to get up and ask everyone to come and sit. Then I will tell them my story.
I went to get up and saw that I was not alone in my room; I saw Ange on a cot sleeping. I looked at the time and saw that it was 8am and I heard some talking from somewhere. I went to the bathroom and took a shower then I got ready for the day; I will pack later if I have to. After I got done I saw Ange smiling at me and I smiled back at her. She told me good morning and I told her the same thing then I looked at her.
"When you get done getting ready I would like you to hear what I have to say to the Cullen family," I told her.
She smiled at me and then nodded and went into the bathroom. I opened the bedroom door and saw the stairs to my right and I walked to them. I looked down and saw that I was on the third floor of this big beautiful home. I started to walk down them and then I went down the other stairs to get to the living room. I sat down next to Bella and Edward and everyone told me good morning; I told them he same thing. I then took a deep breath and stood up.
"Cullen family, I would like to have everyone in here please when you all can. I have something I want to tell everyone and its going to be really hard," I told them.
I then started to feel good for some reason, I just blew it off as nerves. Carlisle stood up and asked everyone in a loud but not to loud voice to come to the living room. I sat back down and I felt someone rubbing my back and saw it was Bella and I smiled at her. Then the living room started to fill up with the Cullen family and the others that are friends of the Cullen's. I waited till they all found places to sit down and then I took a deep breath and stood up.
"Cullen family and friends, I know you all don't know much about me; so if you all want to know I will tell you all my story," I told them.
I waited a minute and saw everyone either nodding or smiling at me. Then Carlisle stood up and smiled at me.
"Jennifer, you don't have to do this you know? But if you are ready then we are all ready to find out who you are," he told me.
I nodded my head again and took another deep breath and looked at everyone.
"Okay, here I go then,"
Jennifer's Story:
My name is Jennifer Rose Sorter; I am about to be 18 in a few months. I had parents that loved me and took real good care of me. Their names were Ben Sorter and Tonia Sorter. I even had a little brother and a older sister, but one day I came home to a sight that no seven year old should ever see. I just got off the bus and was happy because I just won a prize for a drawing I did in class and was wanting to show my mom and dad. I went to open the door and when I did all I saw was blood; blood was every where. I let out a scream and then started to run through the house looking for my family. I found my mom and dad in bed dead from gun shots to their heads and then I found my baby brother dead in his bed. I went to look for my older sister Bell and could not find her until I heard her crying in her closet in her room. I ran to the closet and saw her laying in a pool of blood holding her stomach. She was still alive but just barely. I ran up to her crying and asking her what happened. She told me that two gun men came in and started to shoot. They were there to rob them she told me. I held her and well she passed away in my arms.
I got up crying still and walked over to a neighbors house and when they answered their door and saw me they called the cops. By then I was not able to talk, they told the cops that I was in shock or something. The cops asked them where I lived and they pointed to where I lived and the cops left me with the Smiths; who got me cleaned up because I was covered in my sisters blood. I was still out of it but I remember everything that went on. The cops came back and told the Smiths that my family was murdered. I then started to break down from holding it all in. Well after that day my life was never right ever again. I was placed in foster homes which some were good and well others were not that good. I was raped when I was 10 by one of my foster dads. I told on him and was placed somewhere else where I was not able to eat when I wanted to. I don't know how many homes I ran away from; all I know is the city would find me and put me into another home where something else would go wrong in my life.
One day, I just turned 16 and I ran away from a family that had to many foster kids and I stayed hid. To this day I have been living on the streets of Seattle. I was taken in by a woman that lived on the street longer than me and she showed me how to live. I was able to clean up and get a job and was able to buy me food to eat. I never did have enough money to get a place but I always had clothes on my back and food in my stomach. I would share my food with some of the others that lived on the streets with me. Still to this day I wonder why I am not dead. You all know how the weather is and well I always had to layer my clothes when it got cold. I got really sick one winter and almost died; if it was not for my friend Kathy and her stealing medicine for me I would be dead. I have made it tho with her help. I lost her a year ago by a guy that was trying to rape her and he killed her. I have been alone for a long time and when I saw Jasper, Alice and Emmett come into the store that I am working at I felt hope for some reason.
They started to talk to me and I so wished I could have a family like them. Alice told me that she wanted to hang out and I was very hopeful that she meant it. I lost that hope tho when I did not hear from her for a few weeks. Then that day in the airport when I saw you three I was so happy and hurt at the same time. Hurt because Alice did not call me and happy because I got to see the most beautiful people in the world. I never thought I would ever see them again and what floored me was when Bella there asked me to come with you girls on her bachelorette party. I thought to myself, my life seems like it may get better after all.
"So if you all don't want me to be around you all because of my life I will understand and I will leave you wonderful people alone and you will not see me again," I told them.
Then I started to break down and I fell to my knees. I was then being pulled into someone and being held while I cried. I could not see anything because I was just so upset about telling them my life and I did not want to find out if they wanted me around or not. If they did not that would just break my heart. I don't know how long I cried and I even could her the others crying. I then felt a cold hand pull my chin up and my tears being wiped away. I blinked a couple of times to see who was holding me and I smiled when I saw it was Esme. She looked like she had tears in her eyes but for some reason they would not fall. I looked around and saw that many of them were on the floor with me either crying or trying to cry.
"I am so sorry everyone for making you all upset. I will now go pack and leave," I told them.
I started to get up but Esme held onto me tighter and would not let me go.
"Jennifer Rose, you are not going no where; do you hear me? I knew something was wrong with you but I had no idea that you had such a bad life a such a young life. Let me talk to my family for a moment and we will be right back," Esme told me.
I nodded then she got up and I was being held by Kate who also looked like she was going to cry but the tears would not fall. I held onto her and started to cry again. She would rub my back and I could hear her crying but I saw no tears. I would have to ask them about that when I can, I thought to myself. I made myself calm down and was looking at everyone except the Cullen family. I was talking to the others when the Cullen family came back from where ever they were. Esme took Kate's place and I held onto her for dear life thinking that they did not want me. Carlisle then sat in front of me and the others sat around us on the floor.
"Jennifer, I am so sorry that you had such a hard life. But it will be 100% better from now on. We all would love it if you would live with us here in our house? We will take care of you and be there for you when you need anyone of us. So please consider living with us please and you will be loved. You are already loved by all of us and that is saying something," Carlisle told me.
I could not help but to break down again. They wanted me, they wanted to help me. I was so happy and I could not express it because I was crying so hard. I just held onto Esme and I even reached for Carlisle and pulled him into me and Esme. We were then being held by the family and friends. After awhile my stomach started to growl and we all laughed because it was very loud. Esme let me stand up but I was never let go; when she let me go I was being hugged or held onto by someone else. I was so happy right now and I felt the hole in my heart starting to heal. I know it would never be completely healed but it would always have love for these people around me. Bella then grabbed me and we both cried on each others shoulder and I loved the feeling I was getting. I miss my family a lot but I have a new big family.
I sat down on the couch and Rose had her arm around me smiling.
"I am usually the one that don't accept just anyone into my family but you and me have something in common with being raped and stuff like that. One day I will tell you about my story," She told me.
I then saw something in her face and then she got up and went up to Carlisle. I could not hear what she was telling him or asking him but she would smile at me. I was sitting down talking to Bella, Jade and Ange when Esme called us to come eat. I saw me and the other two get up but no one else did. I just let it go for now. We three walked into the dinning room and I saw all kinds of food on the table for us. I sat down and started to fix my plate and the others did to. I looked at the time and saw that it was going 10 am and wonder what we were going to do today. In no time we were all done eating and I offered to help clean up and was told to go sit and rest. I did as they told me and we all went back into the living room where everyone was still. I sat down and was joined by Ange and Jade. Then Carlisle came up to me and smiled.
"Jennifer, I just got done talking to Esme and if you want, you don't have to but if you want you can call us mom and dad. We love you as a daughter; I know we wont be able to replace your real parents but we can be there for you like they were. Also, we have to talk to you about our family but not today. We are going to get you settle in and then we will tell you about us. So today if you want we can stay home or what ever you want to do," he told me.
I again started to cry and was being hugged by my new dad. He pulled back and I looked around me.
"If you all don't mind I would like to stay in and rest. Then we can do stuff starting tomorrow. I do tho have to call work and tell them that I won't be there for a few more days," I told them.
"Jennifer, you don't have to worry about working anymore. Me and my family have plenty of money to take care of you. But if you want to continue to work that will be okay with us, but you don't have to if you don't want to," my new dad told me.
I sat there and thought about it for a few moments and then smiled.
"If you don't mind, I don't want to work right now anyways. I will love to help around the house if needed and stuff. I really hate working at Alco and have been wanting to get away from it for a long time," I told them.
"Then it's settle, call Alco and tell them that you no longer work for them and get ready for a much better life with us," Esme told me.
I started to cry and was being hugged again and well I felt loved.
