Forever Alone

Chapter 4 Best Day Ever

Bella woke up at about 8:00 and got dressed quickly for the special day. She threw on a black top and black ripped jeans. She went through all her makeup and pulled out mascara, eyeliner, and eyeshadow. She first picked out black eyeshadow and got it on. Then she took her eyeliner and did what she always did. Lastly, she grabbed her mascara and went over her eyelashes a few times. She was amazing at doing makeup.

She looked at her iPhone 4s and realized that it was already 9:00. She rushed and put her hair up in a messy bun and put an extra black hair band around her wrist. Bella picked up her huge bag and swung it over her back. She flew down her stairs and then through her bag onto the old wood floor.

"Mom I'm ready to go!" Bella screamed. No reply. Her mom was probably to busy doing something else.

Then suddenly out of nowhere Michael appeared behind her and gave her a tight hug.

"Hey sis are you all packed?" Michael questioned her. She shook her head yes. He smiled at her and then picked up her bags along with his. He carried all of them outside.

Bella followed him outside and watched him pack everything into their old car. Bella forgot to zipper her bag and all her stuff fell out. Bella's cheeks turned a bright red as she watched all her bras and thongs drop onto the concrete. Michael chuckled softly and had a confused look on his face. He didn't know if he should pick it up or not. Bella rushed towards him and apologized. Bella started picking up stuff and putting it back in. Michael bent down and helped Bella get all her clothes back into the bag.

He stared into her eyes for a second but then shook it off and stood up. It was only a second but Bella felt something special in that short time. Bella was still really embarrassed about the situation so she headed back to the house to make sure she had everything.

"Thanks!" Bella screamed before she went inside and let a soft laugh escape her lips.

Bella stepped inside and started giggling to herself she was really embarrassed. He was so sweet helping her pick all her stuff up. She wondered what he was thinking at that moment. Michael was the nicest guy she had ever met. The only thing keeping them from having a relationship is the fact that Michael is her step brother.

She had no clue where the rest of her family was. Bella slowly walked up the dusty steps. She stared around the creepy hallway and headed towards Karle's room

She woke Karle up and set out clothes for her. She then went to Julia's room and walked in on her putting on a bunch of makeup. Her face looked like a doll.

Her Mom was getting ready in her room at the end of the hallway. Bella made sure not to disturb her and she walked back downstairs.

Michael was waiting in the living room for her. "Hey Bella is everyone awake?" Michael asked her.

"Yeah I woke up Karle." Bella responded. They both awkwardly stared off and didn't speak for a few minutes.

"So I heard there is only two bedrooms for all four of us." Michael told Bella. She was really surprised and upset.

"That means I have to share a room with Karle and Julia." Bella said with a disappointed face. Michael disliked his sisters at times too so he understood.

"Well maybe you can stay in my room some nights. Only if you want. You're always welcome." Michael said smirking. Bella instantly blushed she couldn't control it. Michael tried to change the conversation since he wasn't sure if he should have said that.

They talked for a really long time about the stupidest things. Then Karle leaped down the short stare case and she looked annoyed. "I need help packing!" Karle screamed loudly.

Bella darted after Karle up the stairs. Once Bella reached Karle's room she started helping her pack right away. She was so excited to get out of Florida. Karle then left Bella alone to pack everything up that she set aside.

Bella finally finished Karle's packing and went back downstairs to Michael. He was sprawled out on the long couch. Bella went over to him and sat down. He looked up and smiled and then looked back down. Bella just thinks that he is trying to ignore her as much as possible since he said the wrong thing. She thought what he said was cute. She was going to take up the offer of joining him in his room. Obviously she would sleep in a different bed. She didn't like him that much. Or did she.

After waiting for hours the rest of the family finally came down the stairs. They all loaded their suitcases into the trunk of the car. Bella's mom then came back in and called for Michael and Bella. It was finally time to leave this hell whole.

Bella walked out her door for the last time. She wasn't going to miss this house or her school. She was beyond excited to begin all over again in a new state where no one can judge her.

She jumped over Michael's seat and sat down right next to him. Karle and Julia were in the back of the car. The whole family got situated and made sure they had everything. Before she knew it she was off to New York.
