WARNING: WILL BE STRONG LANGUAGE.

Chapter 2

Perhaps day 2 will be more promising.

Bella woke in the morning with such a pounding headache that she wondered if she´s been totally piss drunk last night but doubted it, mostly because she was living with Charlie the cop. Moments after she surfaced that morning the piercing wail of her alarm clock filled the room declaring that it was 7am and that she needed to get up. With a groan Bella dragged herself out of bed and into the shower, she ran things over in her head just like her therapist had taught her.

Carlisle Cullen is a vampire.

Carlisle is different to him though.

And he definitely a vampire.

He was a bad vampire.

This means that Carlisle could be a good vampire.

I should trust him.

Having worked all this out in her head, Bella left the shower and got on with getting ready for her first day at school, which she was absolutely dreading. Meanwhile, Charlie was having a heated phone call with Renée who was Bella´s mother and Charlie´s ex-wife.

"Hi Renée, this about Bella, I can´t keep he-"Charlie began hesitantly.

Renée was furious and shot back "Well you´re going to have to Charlie, it´s not negotiable."

"She hasn´t said five words to me yet! Please..." This time when Charlie spoke his angry ex-wife didn't cut him off.

"Give her time Charlie, that´s all she needs. She´s had it hard, just give her some time." Renée´s tone was pleading this time and then she hung up.

Bella trudged out to the faded truck her dad had bought her with the breakfast bar she promised him she´d eat in her hand. As she got in and let the engine warm up she flicked through the radio stations until she found ´Highway To Hell´. How fitting. She thought wryly and began her journey to the school, on the highway to hell so to speak. Having arrived at school and done all the admin stuff in reception Bella made her way to her first class, History.

As she stepped through the door Mr Murphy realised who she was and in that seriously embarrassing way that teachers have declared to the class, "This is Isabella, she´s new to Forks and to the school and I expect everyone to be kind to her." He then directed her to the only available seat in the room. Bella was only looking at the floor as she walked so she didn't really see who she had been placed beside until she had sat down and looked at him.

The amazing gold colour of his eyes literally stole her breath and she felt herself gasp. She couldn't think about that though, all she could think of was how beautiful he was. His golden eyes, his alabaster skin tone had just a few scars which stopped it from being too smooth, his honey brown hair which didn't sit too perfectly. Altogether he was amazing, and then he spoke. "Hi I´m Jasper." He had this smooth southern drawl.

"B-Bella, my name´s Bella." She stammered back.

"I thought it was Isabella?" He asked, slightly confused.

"No, well yes, but I prefer to be called Bella.." she explained.

"Then Bella, it is." Jasper replied, smiling slightly.

Then class began and Mr Murphy started droning on about the American civil war. He´s just one of those teachers, Bella thought to herself, the kind that don´t teach but talk to themselves. She didn't mean it in a harsh way, it was just true. She might have been the only one paying any attention so she didn't really notice that Jasper was watching her.
