chased

meet and greet

Bella's POV

I was shaken after being embraced in a hug by a complete stranger. Who was he and how did he know my name? Why did this seem so familiar? I lost myself in thoughts before following my parents to a rental car so we could go back to the new house. I notice that mom had an anxious look on her face as I approached her.

"Did you see him?" She sounded hopeful. My stomach dropped and flipped around in the bottom of my gut. She new him. Whoever just hugged me, and that means I would have known him.

Ethan. My head started pounding and I felt dizzy. My concussion still hurt from time to time so I decided to just take a seat in the car until I was stable. Memories began to race through my head in a nonstop flow. I almost screamed until I looked up and noticed that my mom was still looking at me waiting for a response.

"Oh..uh who?"

"Ethan honey, did he not find you?" I didn't want to say that I just didn't know who he was so I acted like I never saw anyone.

I acted surprised. "ETHAN?!?" My head disagreed with my choice to scream so I flinched at the sound I created and my mom told me to just relax and we'll set up to meet him another time. With that I put in my ear buds and played some Shawn Mendes until we got to the house.

The house was enormous and extremely close to our old one. I realized it was only about a block away from the Dolan's as well.
I walked in the house with my belongings and wondered through the kitchen and up the stairs it lead me to a large hall way and the door in the middle was my room I could tell because it was painted a baby blue and already had lights strung around.
To the left of the room was a walk in closet and a bathroom to myself. I set everything down and grabbed my Pennyboard.

"Where are you going?"mom called after me.

"To the Dolan's, back soon!" I called behind me.

*********************

I walked with my Pennyboard in hand up to the door and rang the doorbell. Cameron opened the door and let out a loud shreak. She hugged me and spun me around off of my feet. Cameron was like my older sister she always played dress up with me and did my hair when I was younger, so seeing her brought back memories of simple happiness and made me feel like I finally belonged somewhere again.

She let me go and lead me inside and called for everyone to come right away. I stood waiting to see everyone. This was one my second home. My second family. My other world and I never thought I'd ever see it again. But here I am I thought.
