Bella's Younger Sister

Chapter 1

I walk up the steps to my house. The house I haven't seen in years. I take a second to look at the house I used to live in. Everything looked the same. Well, almost everything. Dad still parks the police cruiser on the lawn. The house looks like it could use a coat of paint. The windows look like they can be replaced. The garage door isn't there anymore though. There is an old, beat up, orange Chevy in the drive way, probably Bella's, and the lawn looks like it could be mowed. Then again, it always looked like that.

Where are my manors? My name is Maya Journey Swan, the younger sister of Bella Swan. We are sorta similar. We both have brown hair. That's about it. I love the rain, and I am not to fond of the Sun. I do go outside though, only to get Vitamin D though. I may look like a normal healthy teenager, but I am not. Well, I am normal, whatever that means, but I am not all that healthy. No matter how much time I spend I the sun, I can never get enough Vitamin D. I have diabetes and Iron deficiency-anemia. That means I need an insulin pump, and to take iron supplements. Also, one week a month I have to get a blood transfusion. That is until I get pregnant, and I get a certain operation. Anyway, I love to read, write, dance, hang with friends, and go to the beach. My favorite colors are black, red, neon colors and lime green. I know, a weird combination. Anyway, the last time I was here was Christmas when I was 5 or 6. I loved it here and didn't want to leave, but Mom and Dad got divorced and Bella and I had to move with Mom.

I had a best friend here, well, in La Push. His name is Jacob Black. We were inseparable. During the Summer I basically lived at his house. We used to sleep in the same bed to. I would face towards the wall, and he would have his arm around me, like he was protecting me. Now that I thin of it, it looks as if we were a short couple cuddling. I have a picture of it too. Everywhere I go for more than two nights, I have to have it with me.

Anyway, normally the parent would pick up the kid from the airport, but I decided that I wanted to surprise dad and Bella by arriving early. One of the reasons I decided to move back was because of Bella. Dad talked to mom about how her boyfriend moved away a few months ago, and how devastated and depressed she is. I wanted to move sooner but thought it better to wait for the last two months of school. I looked down at my outfit, before knocking on the door. "Maya! What are you doing here! I thought I was going to pick you up later! How did you get here!"

"Hey dad. I got an earlier flight and decided to surprise you! Surprise! Anyway, I took a cab."

"Well let me show you to your room. I have had contractors working on turning the garage into a room for you. I hop you like it." He says as he leads me into my new room. "Your mom told me what I should do for your room."

I looked around amazed! I defiantly was not expecting this! I mean the room has a bunch of Christmas lights , and then the saying on the wall! "Wow, I love it! Thank you so much!"

"I decided that you and Bells needed your own rooms. The closet is over there and I had a bathroom put in too. That way you don't have to run up the stairs during the middle of the night." I didn't know what to say. "I will go and get Bells so we can go and get something to eat."

"Thank you." I look at my closet and then walk across the room to my bathroom. I am falling in love with this place! The first thing I take out is the picture of Jake and I from when we were younger, and I set it on my night table. I smile and then start unpacking my first suit case. I am only half way done when Dad comes in. "Okay, let's go!" We all head out to the car and I sit in the back, just like when I was younger, except, without the booster seat.
