A/N: Harley's outfit.
Harley Swan P.O.V.
For the past while Edward has been out hunting because of my sister. Finally the day he gets back it has to be a really bad rainy day. Dad said he was going to be late tonight and I left early that morning to ride with the Cullen's. When I arrived Carlisle was waiting for me.
"Hello, Harley."
"Hey, Carlisle." We hugged.
"So I have been thinking about doing something, and I finally did it."
"Yeah..."
"You're always with us, you're Jasper's mate, you're family. So, I made you a Cullen crest accessory." He handed me a wrist cuff just like Emmett, Edward, and Jasper have.
"Really. Oh my god, thank you." I took it and put it on my right wrist, then wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him tight.
That morning I rode with Jasper and Alice. I was still so happy and I knew Jasper could feel it so he was smiling the ride there. Once we arrived although his expression darkened. It was still kinda hard for him being around so much blood when he used to have to drink from the vein, and the overload of emotions was terrible for him.
At lunch was the next time I saw Edward. I was sitting down at the table so before he walked past me to sit I put my arms up and he bent down and hugged me.
"I missed you." I whispered in his ear.
"Missed you too." He mumbled back then went and sat in his seat right next to me.
After school we were all standing around the car in the parking lot when Bella looked over at Edward they stared at each other until a van came racing through the parking lot and was coming straight towards Bella. It was honking and trying to turn. Bella whipped around but Edward vamp sped across the parking lot and stopped the van and made sure Bella was out of the way and okay before he raced away. We all quickly left. They brought me to the hospital. Jasper insisted on coming in but I asked them to wait in the car. I walked in and Dad and the doctor were not in the room yet so I took a seat on the bed beside Bella. Dad came in and kept asking Bella if she was okay and telling her how lucky she was and threatening the kid. Then Carlisle came in.
"I heard the Chief's daughter was here." Carlisle announced.
"Oh, Dr. Cullen."
"Charlie. I got this one, Jackie." Carlisle took the clipboard from her. He flashed me a smile, looking in his eyes I knew he wanted to talk to me after this. "Isabella."
"Bella." She corrected.
"Well, Bella... looks like it's a quiet spill. How do you feel?" Carlisle asked.
"Good." She answered.
"Look here..." He held up his finger and flashed the light in her eyes. You might experience some post-traumatic stress or... disorientation but... Your vitals are good. No signs of any head trauma. I think you'll be just fine."
"I'm so sorry Bella, I'm really..." The other kid that was driving the van started but Dad pulled the curtain.
"It would have been a lot worse if Edward wasn't there. He knocked me out of the way." Bella told Carlisle.
"Edward? Your boy?" Dad asked.
"Yeah, it was amazing. I mean, he got to me so fast... He was nowhere near me." Bella went on. Shut up girl.
"Sounds like you were very lucky." Carlisle told her, fake smiling. "Charlie..."
Carlisle dismissed, then walked away. We walked out.
"I need to sign some paperwork... You should probably call your mom." Charlie told Bella.
"Did you tell her?" Bella asked and Dad made an 'yeah, of course I did' gesture. "She's probably just... freaking out."
"Good luck with that, love you dad." I rushed to where I knew Carlisle, Edward, and Rosalie were.
"What was I supposed to do? Let her die?" Edward questioned.
"This isn't just about you. It's about all of us." Rosalie told him.
"I think we should talk this in my office..." Carlisle trailed off and we all glanced where Bella was.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?" Bella asked Edward.
"Rosalie, Harley..." Carlisle led us by the arms to his office.
When we got in there Carlisle sat in his chair and Rosalie and I sat in the two chairs facing his desk. After a few minutes Edward came in and stood.
"I lied to her. Tried to convince her. If she knows anything, she's not telling." He told us.
"Good because we do not need anyone finding out and spreading it." Rosalie told him.
"C'mon guys. As much as Carlisle loves us he needs to get back to work." I told them.
We all said our goodbyes to Carlisle then left in Rosalie's car. They dropped me off at home then went home themselves. I went upstairs to my bedroom and changed into a sports bra and some black spandex shorts then went back down by Bella. She was sitting in her bed reading when I came down.
"Hey." I greeted.
"Hey." She greeted in return.
"How are you?" I questioned.
"I'm fine."
"Mind if I sit?" I ask.
"No, go ahead." I sit down next to her. "What brings you in here?"
"Just came to talk to my little sister. We don't talk much anymore."
"Okay." She responded a little questionably. She set down her book and finally looked at me. "What are those?" She asks pointing to my body. I glance down to see her pointing to my tattoos.
"Wow, you're not the brightest crayon in the box are you? They're tattoos, Bella. You know permanently inking something onto your skin with needles." I explain.
"I know that, but what are they?"
"This one is tree branches making a crossed pattern in front of the wolf's face, to, in a way, hide it, it's eyes are icy blue, meaning in werewolf terminology it is an omega, a lone wolf. Then this one is vampire teeth with blood. Then I have my elements tattoo which represents the four elements, fire, water, wind, and earth. My 'always believe' tattoo is a fairy with pixie dust in a UV light the pixie dust is really cool. My 'what are you afraid of the big bad wolf' one is for the fact that wolves are harmless. The tire with wings is a motorcycle tire and the wings represent flight, I feel free on a motorcycle and I love it. The tree branches are nearly dead and the bird is, in a way, bringing life back to them which is what the budding flowers represent. The phoenix is a bird that when it dies it's ashes set fire and become a new phoenix again, it represents my ability to rise from the ashes and eternal life. Finally, my owl, represents the connection to the galaxy and I think owls are beautiful."
"Oh, wow. When did you get them, and how did you pay for them?"
"I got them in less than a year, I got the wolf with the branches and the vampire teeth before I turned 18 and then the rest after. I payed for them with my job at an auto body shop." (A/N: I know it's technically illegal to tattoo a minor but let's just ignore that.)
"Wow. You have a lot of tattoos, how much did it cost and how is dad okay with this?"
"It was about $2,500. 'Cause I told him it's my body and even if he says no I'm gonna do it anyways so he just accepted it."
"Oh, okay."
"Yeah, um, it's getting late. I'm going to go to bed, you should, too."
After that I went upstairs to my room and slept. I was still so grateful for a family like the Cullen's and how they all loved me and accepted me into the family.
