A/N: SORRY! SORRY! SORRY! I'm sorry I didn't update quicker, but here in Tennessee, the end of the year exams are called TCAP, and we have to absolutely do our best on it. Tennessee grades it's students tougher than most US states so....I had planned to updat yesterday, Saturday, but I got back from my band contest too late. I won!! The band contest. Anyway... I'm so sorry for the inconvienence. I'm making it up to you guys...read at the bottom.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything in Twilight, Stephanie Meyer does. I also don't own the names...my friends do. I simply use their names with permission.
I stared at the pale white ceiling of my room. Jacqueline and Charlisa had really out fone themselves. The room was perfect.
Sapphire blue painted walls, the northern wall being made completely of glass. My bed pushed against the southern wall. The bed comforter was a beautiful sapphire blue with silver designs. The pillowcases the same sapphire blue with my name Isabella in silver on one, Bella on the other.
The carpet was sand colored. My desk, made of mahogany, pushed against the eastern wall with a blue and silver Mac laptop sitting on top. A plasma screen isid ethe wall next to it. On the western wall was a huge bookcase, half filled with my favorite books, the other half filled with my favorite CD's. The door to my closet on the right to the bookcase, the door on the other.
My room gave an excellent view of the luscious forest and sparkling river. I sighed in contentment. I felt so stupid.
Not all my memories of Forks had been awful. I had missed the constant rain and cold, the emerald green trees and vines everywhere.
I snapped out of my reverie as I heard the rush of wind. The sound of a vampire running.
KNOCK!KNOCK!
Gee, I wonder who that could be.
"Come in."
"Bella! Do you like your room?! Do you like your closet?! Have you seen your closet? Do you like the house? I mean Jason was all for adding towers and another 1500 square feet! As for your closet, I tried to buy things you might like.I can buy you a completely new wardrobe if you don't like those...." Jacqueline said in a rush. She was always tring to make me feel as comfortable as possible.
"Jackie! Calm down! I love absolutely everything! Especially my room." I reassured her.
"Mm...okay," she said as if she didn't believe me, "I chose sapphire blue because that color always looks best on you and it seems like it's your favorite, and silver because of your....spirit." she said matter-of-factly.
"Do you like it?!" she asked once again.
I chuckled and answered, "Absolutely!"
"Good! Charlie wanted blue and bronze for your room, but I said no. I didn't look right."
Bronze, a beautiful array of bronze, that was what his hair looked like. I thanked God that Jackie was crazy about colors matching. I wouldn't have been able to live hear if my room was a consant reminder of him.
I must have thought that over slowly because Jackie looked at me when I didn't reply.
"Bella? Are you okay? I could change silver into bronze if you..." she trailed off. "Oh!" she exclaimed after she finally understood. "Gosh, Bella I'm so sorry!" she continued to apologized.
"No it's alright. I'm just that pathetic. Scare of the color of his hair." I tried to sound teasingly, but my voice broke and my sorrow slipped through.
"You have every right, as I said before." Jackie tucked her satin, black hair behind her ear.
Silence corrupted the whole house. The entire house. How strange.
"Where's everyone?" I inquired.
"Charlie and Jason went down to the public high school to enroll us." she said staring at the room, analyzing, looking for imperfections.
"And Randi, James, and Eric?"
"Randi and Stark went hunting, and Eric went to go pick up the rest of the cars."
Oh, yeah! We left a couple of the cars back at the house in Alaska, and were having them shipped here.
"Anyway, would you like to see the rest of the rooms?" she asked, her eyes full of excitement.
"Sure." I had nothing else to do, and it would keep my mind off of certain subjects.
We raced through the house, the Jacqueline stopped in front of a white door, with green trim.
"Randi and Stark's room." she stated, and turned the knob.
I gasped; it was beautiful.
The walls were painted a dark emerald green; the carpet was sany white. The bed covers were the same shade of green as the walls as was the pillowcases. The pillowcases were trimmed with copper colored lace.
Randi was engraved in neat cursive on one pillow, James in the other. A veil of soft green made the bed a canopy. French doors, painted white, lead out to a balcony garden.
A plasma screen TV faced the bed. A green laptop sat on top of a dark wood desk in the corner. A small bookcase held Randi's favorite books. Even the room itself had a scent of the beautiful outdoors.
"It's beautiful." I stated in awe. A smile spread across Jackie's face.
"Thanks! I made Randi's power dominant, mainly because it's hard to design a room with the theme as archery. But that's why I chose copper. Bows and arrows are brown, plus copper looks great with this emerald green." she said.
"Well, you guys out did yourselves." Jackie's smile only got wider.
"Come on! There's more to see." she said and walked away.
The corridors were decorated with the occasional vase of flowers and paintings. The walls were painted a warm creme color; it matched the carpet.
Jackie stopped in front of a off white painted door.
"Charlisa and Jason's room."
The breathe was knocked out of me again.
The walls were a beautiful shade of deep sea blue, and trimmed with electric yellow. The ceiling itself was electric yellow. The carpet was golden yellow.
The bed was pushed against the eastern wall. The covers were a sea blue with yellow lightning desings. The pillows were deep sea blue with yellow fringes. In cursive, Charlisa was written on one, Jason on the other.
A huge plasma TV sat on a table made of glass, with an XBOX 360 and Wii sitting on the first shelf. The secondshelf was full of games.
A metallic blue metal desk sat to the right of the bed, in the corner, with an HP blue laptop sitting on it. A huge bookshelf held Charlisa's books and Jason's games.
The closet door was painted a soft blue, and in golden letters said, 'Charlisa and Jason'.
The northern wall was entirely made of glass and had a door to a balcony that held two beautiful armchairs and a small artificial pond.
"Charlisa designed this one herself. She did a great job." Jackie whispered next to me.
I simply nodded in agreement.
"The scent in this room reminds me of the beach. The smell of water, and before a storm is coming." I whispered solemly, my eyes closed. In my mind's eye I could see the clear ocean, feel the sand in my toes, and I swear I could faintly hear the rumble of thunder.
"Come on, Eric's room is next."Jackie tugged on my arm, pulling me out of my fantasy. She dragged me to an alabaster door.
"I designed this one, and my room, all by myself." she stated proudly, then she opened the door.
The walls were coal black, trimmed with alabaster white. The bed was facing the door; the comforter was pitch black and the pillowcases wwere blood red.
Eric was written across them in Old English font and in white thread. There was a metal, painted black, desk in the corner with a white Mac desktop sitting upon it. A plasma screen was inplanted inside the wall next to the door facing the bed. A closet door on the other side of the TV.
A huge bookcase held CDs, stocked better than a CD store. In the middle of the bookshelf sat a fancy, shiny black stereo system. The kind of stereo system I was afraid to touch in fear that it might break at my touch.
It looked absolutely perfect for Eric, but Jackie had said that the rooms were decorated according to power. How did black, white, and red go with Eric's power?
"I know it's hard to see Eric's power through this room, but I couldn't make everything see through and clear. That would've looked ugly. So I made everything white on black, to enfisizes the clearness of his power. The red came as a request from him." Jackie explained.
Like she could read my mind, but I knew she couldn't have. That wasn't her power. It was my other sister's.
"You are awsome!" I praised. I wasn't lying or exaggerating. She really was.
"Thank-you," she said, modestly, "Now it's time to see the greatest room in the whole house!" she said excitedly.
"But I've already seen my room." I stated in mock distaste.
She narrowed her eyes at me, "Listen, Swan, my room is sooo much better than your's." she said transforming her voice to sound like a snob.
"Alright then. Show me." I challenged.
A smirk appeared on her face. The kind of smirk that had me backtracking. She ran down the hallway, with me in pursuit. She stopped in front of a white door with her name engraved in gold letters, Jacqueline.
"Prepare to be amazed." was all she said, and then she opened the door.
She had been right; her room was way better than mine.
The three walls were painted a bright ruby red, trimmed with gold. The carpet was burnt gplden. The other wall was completely made of glass, allowing the suns rays to come in. French doors, made of glass, lead to a balconey were a small fire was burning. Golden drapes hid most of the glass wall, yet the room was still brightly lit.
Her bed faced the glass wall. The comforter was ruby red with golden flame patterns. Her pillowcases were engraved as well. Jackie and Jacqueline graced the ruby red pillowcases in golden thread. The whole eastern wall was taken up by the biggest bookcase I've ever seen. It held books, CDs, magazines, binders, and folders.
Opposite the bookshelf was a stylish metal desk, red of course. A shiny red Mac laptop graced it. Also, Jackie's prized red iPod touch sat on it's dock there. Around it were framed pictures of us, the whole family.
Next to the desk was a fancy looking, Yamaha keyboard. Above that was a sword Jackie had since she was 15, as a human. It was silver, and genuine rubies were place all over it. Jacqueline's human family crest was engraved in it.
"Where's...the closet?" I asked shakly, afraid of the answer. She grinned at me like a cat.
"Right here, of course." She said, and motioned me over to the keyboard.
"Where?" I asked. I saw no other door, except the one I came in though.
"Bella. Do you not know me?" she asked in mock hurt and disbelief.
"Where'd you hid the door this time?" Jackie had a record of hiding the entrances to her closet. 'For privet purposes' was what she always said. Personally I think it's because if Randi found out how big her closets always were, she'd have a fit.
Jackie grinned at me, then turned the keyboard on. It flashed to life.
"What are you going to do? Play music until I guess correctly?" I grumbled. She rolled her eyes at me.
She sat down on the stool and gingerly placed her hands on the keys. Then she began to play. It wasn't often that Jackie graced us with her compostions, the great musician that she was, so we tried to take advantage of when she did play.
Like whenever she played, I felt like I was being put into a trance. There wasn't anything in the room except me and the beautiful music that came from her. Her songs always had a secret meaning to them, and I always tried to find that meaning.
The song was cut short by the sound of of a machanical door same sound an elevator makes when it's opening. I gasped. The small area of wall next to the keyboard was now a passage way. Jackie had disguised the closet door, so it blended into the wall.
"Come on!" she exclaimed impatiently, tugging my arm. I falled, awestruck.
Inside was the biggest walk in closet I've ever seen. The wall to my right was full of dresses, skirts, pants, shorts, kapris, and belts hanged from hooks. A shelf on top of the bar holding the clothes were purses of every style snd color, obviously organized by color.
The wall to my right was filled with every shirt possibly made. Tank tops, graphic T's, spagetti straps, strapless, tube tops, everything. It also hele some cardigans, sweaters, and coats.
The wall facing me, there was a giant mirror hanging. You couldn't even see the wall! There were drawers, which I assumed held assesories, and other things. The table top was full of two make-up kit and three jewlery boxes.
"Woah."
"Nice isn't it?" she asked rhetorically.
"Nice? Don't you mean, amazing, incredible?"
"No. Those adjectives discribe me not the room." she said sweetly.
"Whatever." I replied, with a roll of my eyes.
"If you think this is amazing, you should see my bathroom."
"You have a bathroom in here?" I asked in wonder.
"Well, duh, Bella! So do you, and everybody else." she said in mock disasperaion.
"Well...sorry." My voice tuned into mock hurt. Jackie simply rolled her eyes.
Honk! Honk!
"I'm guessing Eric's home." Jackie said, excitedly. She ran out the door, followed by me. As I left her room, I heard the closet door close. Cool.
"I'm home!" came Eric's greeting.
The living room was big and grand. The carpet was a pale white. The furniture consisted of two love seats, a couch, and an arm chair, all made of black leather. I didn't really care about the living room...Eric had my baby, somewhere!
"Where?" I asked. Eric grinned and through me a set of keys.
"In the garage..."I didn't stay to listen to the rest of his sentence, my baby!
I slammed the garage door shut, and heard chuckling from the living room. I growled, and it stopped.
There it was, my baby. My midnight blue, 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe. Vintage black leather, up to 250 mph!
"Stop checking out your car, Bellie, and come on up." Jason called from the living room. Hmm...was I really thinking about my car, that I didn't even hear them come in.
"Coming."I murmured, glancing at my car again. I really felt the urge to drive it. Maybe if I'm sneeky enough...
"DON'T EVEN TRY, BELLA!!!!" came Charlisa's voice, undetoned by chuckling.
"Stupid, pixie-like, future-knowing, vampire." I mumbled.
"WHAT WAS THAT?!?!?"
"Stylish, pixie-like, fun-loving, great sister of mine." I said quickly, a scowl on my face as I heard Jackie and Eric laughing in perfect harmony.
"That's what I though you said!" she exclaimed and I saw her sanding in the middle of the living room, glaring at me.
"Yeah, okay. Enough shouting Charlie, I heard you before I even saw the house!" came James's response as he and Randi walked in hand in hand, their dirty blonde hair wind swept by the running. Uh-oh! James's in trouble.
"WHAT...DID...YOU...JUST...CALL...ME?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"
"Uh...n...no...nothing, ch...Charlisa." James stuttered.
"You're scared of my wife?! That's pathetic." Jason boomed, only to be slapped upside the head by Charlisa.
"You're scaried of me too and don't try to say otherwise." she threatened. I feel sorry for Jason. He gulped and nodded.
"Now, back too business." she said and sat down on the couch. Randi and James sat on one of the loveseats, Jackie and Eric in the other, so I sat in the armchair.
"What's the story this time?" we all annouced in perfect synchronization.
"Same as always, Jackie and Eric are relatives, brother and sister this time." replied Charlisa glance at Eric and Jacqueline; they simply nodded.
"Bella and Randi are cousins as are Jason and Stark." We nodded. The same, as always.
This time it was different. This time I wasn;t going to be mindessly roaming the halls, bored of the high school life. This time, everywhere I look memories will hit me full force. I'll probably see old faces; in a small town I'm bound to find the grandchildren of my old friends.
Ben, Angela, Jessica, Mike, Tyler, Eric, Lauren...okay maybe not the last one. Jake. Oh, Jake! My heart ached more than ever. I had left without saying goodbye...kind of like how...they left me.
In a weeks time, I was returning to the place where my lifed changed.
My life will change in Forks. For better or for worse?
I was about to find out.
