"You are relentless Bella. I already said I'm coming with you, there's no need to push me out the door." Bella was far too excited for her brother to meet her 'lovely' boyfriend.
And by far too excited I mean, Bella slept a total of 2 hours. By no means was Ben remotely excited to meet his sister's second family. He had only been back for one day, it seemed to be a bit much from the younger Swan.
The siblings walked out of the front door climbing into Bella's old rust bucket. Ben's car hadn't arrived from Glenbeigh yet; which was quite unfortunate - it meant Ben would have the ultimate displeasure of sitting in... that. His car was a sleek matte black jeep wrangler, or his "gorgeous girl" as Ben called it.
The ride wasn't too long, but it was long enough for Ben to begin feeling ill with the constant swaying motion of the old orange truck .
Placing one leather clad foot out of the car Ben sighed as if he hadn't breathed during the entire car ride.
A big burly man had walked outside to greet them. "Please, you're being dramatic. Don't hate the truck." The man spoke.
"I'm Emmett Cullen, now I don't care who you are - do you play FIFA?"
3 hours. That's how long Ben had been at the Cullen household. He'd been introduced to 4 people: Esme, Rosalie, Edward and Carlisle.
Emmett had made Benjamin indulge in quite the amount of games, whether that be video games or watching others play sporting games; you name it, they played or watched it.
"Ben, dear is that you? Gosh, we've been dying to meet you since Bella told us about you. We got told you'd be visiting, but I couldn't bear to ruin the surprise!" The voice belonged to a short pixie haired girl that came sashaying into the room, throwing a wink in Ben's direction. 'We' must've been Alice and whoever's footsteps Ben could hear coming from the hallway.
"Oh right, I'll introduce myself first, although I'm sure Bella told you all about me. I'm Alice Cullen, we'll be inseparable - just you wait and see." The girl, Alice, spoke very quickly.
Ben was caught off guard with Alice's eagerness. She seemed to dart from topic to topic without taking a breath. He wondered if she was like this all the time or meeting new people imbued her with some sort of uncontainable energy. An ice cold breeze sweeps through the room, causing Ben to shiver, followed closely by whomever the footsteps must've belonged to. Alice is grinning beside him, how did she get there so fast? He has not a clue. "My lovely girlfriend," Alice whispers from beside him. His eyes sweep up their tall figure landing on their face. His once smile holding face drops almost instantly and turns into one of recognition, unblinking at the should be ghost before him "Lily? You're supposed to be dead." Ben splutters Lily's eyes lock with Ben's with a glare that could only be described as icy. They looked the same as they had 3 years ago except, amplified in a way Ben couldn't describe.
"So sorry to disappoint." they say in a mock bow. "Still wearing those awful jeans, are we Ben?"
The way they spoke was direct, almost as if it was fuelled with anger. The Cullens, confused, stared at the uncomfortable confrontation happening before their eyes. How would they possibly know one another? Someone from Lily's past life?
