Chapter Two-Death
“What the hell do you want?” He looked straight ahead as I drove a good 60 miles over the speed limit “Do you have to drive so fast? And I just wanted to see if you had a good first day at your new school. So did you have a good day?” Why do people ask me so many questions? “Not until the start of lunch. Then I called you as you know and then I sat with the Cullen`s and then the rest of my day was wonderful.” I bite my lip remembering what had happened before trigonometry. “Why did the rest of the day go so wonderful?” UH! “God what is it with you and everyone asking me questions can`t you just nod say ok and shut up about it!.....Sorry just everyone ask me questions and I’m happy and I hate questions.” “It`s fine Bella, your dad wants you to call him he said not to tell you until you were on your way home that he`s gone to get your mom and Phil from the airport and he wants you to call him.”I was sorry for yelling at him like that but I hate when people ask me questions it`s like they know what I am and want me to say it. “Want me to drive you home?”He smiled and I drove to his place.
After dropping Jacob off I started home. About half way there I pulled out my phone and called Charlie.”Hello Bells. Did Jacob tell you where I went?” “Yes I can`t believe moms coming down is she with you?” I heard her laugh and tell him to put it on speaker phone. “Hey baby me and Phil wanted to see you before we moved so I got us plane tickets and your dads driving us there now! OH and I`m taking you out for dinner so don’t eat. OK?” I laughed “OK I`m almost home I need to shower and get changed. I love all of yous even you Phil. Bye.” Everyone said by and I turned my phone off. I got in the shower and turned my phone back on. 3 text and 2 voice mail. Who would call and text me that many times? I called the number back.”Hello? Oh my god Bella! Are you ok did you go with your dad?” How did she know? “No Alice I didn`t there on they`re way home I can`t wait to see them!!!!” I heard her start to sob into the phone and in the background I could Jasper trying to calm her down. “Alice what`s wrong? Tell me please, you’re scaring me!” Next I heard Edward “Bella please don’t move we`ll be right there.” Then the phone went dead.
I waited 5 minutes before the silver Volvo pulled up to my house. Alice ran up to me and hugged me then went back to Jasper who tried again to get her to stop sobbing into his chest. My phone rang and I ran to answer it. “Hello?” The man on the end sounded like he was crying “Hello Bella, I sorry I have to be the one to tell you but, your father was driving home with your mother and her new husband when a deer appeared on the road. Your father swerved the car but it hit a tree. He and your mother died instantly and Phil died on the way to the hospital. Once again I`m very sorry.” I hung up the phone and fell to the ground crying tearlessly into my hands.
“Come on.” Edward picked me up and brought me to the couch. I was still crying when I noticed two people I never met standing at the door. “Oh honey are you ok?” I looked at her and nodded “Oh sorry, I`m Esme. And that is Carlisle. We`re Edward and their foster parents. How do you feel? Alice told us as soon as she had the vision and got off the phone with you.” She pointed to the rest of the Cullen`s after introducing her and her husband. “I think I`ll live but I can`t get over that now I have no family.” After saying this I broke into a whole new wave of tearless sobs. Edward pulled me into a hug and Esme took my hand. Alice pulled me into a hug and Rosalie rubbed circles on my back. Then they got up and bolted up the stairs. “Where they going?” Esme gave me a weak smile “Honey you`re going to come stay with us for awhile. You`re only 17 so when you`re ‘supposed’ to turn 18 then you can leave or stay with us. OK?” She wanted me to stay with them? Why they don`t even know me. “I don`t want to impose. I mean a year isn`t a long time but I would hate yous to feel uncomfortable.” Esme rolled her eyes “Honey trust me you`re not imposing, and I think Alice needs a new Barbie, Rosalie’s about to snap. We have a good 4 extra rooms. So what do you say Bella will you stay with us.” I got up and hugged Esme “Thank you.” I turned around to see Alice standing at the door. “Me and Bella will take her truck. Come on.” She grabbed my arm and pulled me to my truck.
After a 10 minute drive going well over the speed limit we pulled up to a large house surrounded by a beautiful green forest. “Wow, it`s amazing Alice.” She let out a small half laugh half sob. “I know right. Esme has a nice room picked out for you I’m sure you`ll like it.” I smiled. Esme ran to my truck and grabbed my hand. She pulled me into a huge room on the third floor. I opened the door and looked around. There was a huge window that covered the whole wall. “Wow it`s beautiful.” She smiled. “I know, Edwards’s rooms just like this but one of his walls has music covering every inch of it.” I smiled at her and she turned to leave.
*********************************************************************************
It had been five days and I didn`t cry much after the first day. Esme walked in my room while I was working on a paper due whenever I went back to school. “Alice is taking you shopping so she can get you settled in and she said you`re going to need a black dress for the funeral. She wants you to hurry up so you can get going.”I smiled and she left. I changed my outfit and went down the stairs I went up. Alice was waiting at the door with Jasper and Edward. “Their coming to carry bags. Trust me we`ll need all the help we can get if that`s how you dress.” I looked at her and then the boy`s “Is she always like this?” She rolled her eyes “The boys are going to follow in Edwards car we`re taking mine!”
I followed her outside and then into the garage. Edward and Jasper got into his Volvo and I followed Alice to a yellow porch “This is your car? Holy god!” She started smiling “I know.”
We drove for an hour to a store in Seattle that took up about a block. “Big enough store?” She shook her head no.”We only have a couple hours so we`ll do the whole 2nd floor then well go back down to the 1st floor for shoes and bags! OK?”
She grabbed my hand before I could protest and dragged me to the nearest store. Hmmm time to talk to Edward. ‘Hello, why is she doing this. I have a paper to finish.’ I looked at him over my shoulder Hello Bella, she`s only doing this cause she doesn`t like the way you dress and if you need help with your paper I’ll help.’ I slowed my walk so I was beside Edward and Jasper went ahead to catch up with Alice. I stood with him for a minute before Alice handed me a pile of clothes and pushed me into the change room. ’I`m going back to school tomorrow. Thanks but no thanks I need to get through high school at least once on my own. Uh I hate pink.’ He started laughing “Hey shut up. Alice do they have this in blue?” I came out of the change room everything else was nice and fit well. “Same size but I got you it in blue.” She handed me it then took the clothes and went to pay for it. “So are you sure you want to go back so soon? I mean it`s been a week but are you ready to have all those people asking you if you`re ok and stuff?” I rolled my eyes “I think I`ll be ok, but I wanted to know if you`ll come with me tonight. I`m going hunting.” I looked at him which I think may have been a bad idea on my part cause when he smiled at me I almost fell over. “I would love to go with you. Alice is going to kill us if we don`t hurry up and get to the cars.” I started laughing and then running. It wasn’t super human speed but I was going pretty fast. We got to Alice pretty fast. “Bella you ride with Edward I want to be with Jasper.” She bite her lip and he slipped his arms around her waist. “Ok that`s fine.” I walked over to Edward. “Let`s go.” We got into his car and we drove off after Alice.
“Oh my god you and Edward are going hunting. When did you decide on this I mean I didn`t see you asking at all!” I looked at Alice “I`m not sure why I did I just wanted to so I did. And now I`m nervous!” She grabbed my hands “Don`t be just go shower and then get dressed then come see me and Rose to do your hair and make-up.” She pushed me into the bathroom and walked away. I got into the shower and washed my hair. The water was so hot I didn`t want to get out. Alice came and knocked on the door. “Hurry the hell up Bella.” I rolled my eyes “Fine” I yelled and got out.
Now I know what Esme meant but ‘Barbie’ Alice and Rosalie stood over me and did my hair make-up and got me dressed. I had a blue top with a very low neck line (a little too low if you ask me) with navy blue jeans. Alice put a tan eye-shadow on me and some lip-gloss. Rose put my hair back in a pony-tail. I looked awesome but I was hunting not going out for dinner.
I walked down the stairs. Edward was standing at the door waiting for me. “Hello, I love that colour on you.” I looked down at my shirt. “Hey and thanks.” He looked fantastic too but I didn’t tell him that.
Hunting was fun and successful. We talked through our minds and when we were walking back to his car I figured it out. I love him. I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned around. “You love me?”
“What the hell do you want?” He looked straight ahead as I drove a good 60 miles over the speed limit “Do you have to drive so fast? And I just wanted to see if you had a good first day at your new school. So did you have a good day?” Why do people ask me so many questions? “Not until the start of lunch.
