Book 1: Dusk (Twilight Saga)

Chapter 2: Accident & Secrets

"It was nice having you, Serenity. Please anytime you're welcome here. Emmett is lucky to have a sweet friend like you." Carlisle says waving to Emmett and I, as I hop in Emmett's jeep.

My phone buzzed spastically in my lap. I look down and see I have a text from Bella.

Where are you??? School ended. Dad's going to be pissed.

I sighed, and texted back quickly.

I was at the Cullen's house, Emmett's mother practically forced me to eat her food.. I'll be home in a few minutes. On my way now.

My phone buzzed again.

Okay. Talk to you more when you get here.

I turned off my phone., and looked up to see Emmett eyeing me worriedly.

"Renny, are you okay? You seem really tense now." He asked .

"Bella. She texted me, freaking out." I replied stiffly

He nodded in understanding.

The jeep pulled up to my house and I looked over at Emmett.

"Thank you. You're a great friend." I say, smiling.

He nodded. "Anytime Renny. I'm here, any hour of the day I'm available if you need anything. Here, put your number in my phone." He replied, taking my phone and handing me his in return.

I put my number in his phone, and then handed it back the same time as he did.

I hop out of the jeep and walk inside. Charlie is passed out in his recliner again, with the news blaring.

I sighed, pulling the blanket over him, and turning the lights and TV off. I went up to mine and Bella's room quietly.

Bella was sitting on her bed, talking on the phone.

"They've all been really....welcoming." She says into the phone with gritted teeth. Uh oh. She had a bad first day..

She hung up, throwing her phone down.

"Was Edward at the Cullen's when you were there?" Bella asked worriedly

I nodded.

"Was he in a bad mood? Did he talk to you at all?" She asked.

I shrugged. "He came in, slammed the door and went to his room. He came out once, when I was about to leave, he apologized for ignoring me and gave me his number if I needed anything, then he went back to his room." I replied.

"I think he hates me.." She murmured.

"He was probably just having a bad day, Bells. Give him time." I say reassuringly. She nodded, bummed out.

I found my black tank top and my purple and white zebra print pajama pants, then went to the bathroom and changed. I wiped my makeup off and threw my messy hair into a bun.

I grimaced as I looked at my reflection. Ew.

Why can't I look as perfect as the Cullens? As perfect as Rosalie..
