Could It Be

Chapter 4

Esme's P.O.V.

As soon as we arrived at the house i saw some things that were going to need some work on almost immediately. I wrote everything down that I would need to fix the things that were going weak. I noticed some of the beams in the ceiling are getting weak due to all of the rain that Forks gets. Its an easy fix though so I'm not worried about anything because the kids have school tomorrow and Carlisle is going to work so I have plenty of time to get the job done.

"Hey Esme when you go out to stock the house up with food tonight will you get us all some school supplies as well please and thank you." Edward asked me bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Sure thing honey I was actually about to take off to go get some stuff anyway so ill pick up school supplies for you all." I say and run up to my room to change into something more suitable for the weather that is currently happening here in Forks.

When i get in the room I ignore the emptiness of it and head straight for the closet. I grab a raincoat and a pair of rain boots that match my rain coat and an umbrella. I quickly leave the room before i start thinking about how lonely i am. I can only think of that when Jasper and Edward are no where near me and if i keep changing my mind around so Alice can't see what I'm planning on doing.

I rush down the stairs saying a quick goodbye and then entering the garage. I head straight for the Mercedes since its the only not too fancy car that we own. Being a vampire we have some money and we like to drive fast cars but being in a small town where your lucky to find a truck without rust on it it would be bad to drive in a Porcshe or a Lamborghini so we have cars that will work just fine with our situation. Emmett has his Jeep and Edward has his Volvo while Carlisle usually drives the Mercedes and I drive whatever i want really.

Anyway I jump in the Mercedes and drive out of the garage and down the lane to the main road. I take my time driving to the store because i enjoy the time to think and feel how i want to alone and not with someone possibly feeling or seeing how i feel. I'm happy for them that they have their mates and other half but it eats me alive knowing that I'm lonely. Ive been in their rooms before and I see both of their stuff everywhere and the smell of them both but my room is just mine. My stuff not my other halfs stuff with mine, only my scent. I sometimes wonder if I am ever going to get a mate or if I will forever be lonely.

As i think that I pull into the parking lot of the grocery store and park. I get out and walk in the store smiling and nodding to people as i pass them. I grab a cart. I head to the food first and quickly fill almost all of the cart up with food and then I start making my way over to the school supplies.

I take my time acting interested in the things around me when i am suddenly bumped into from behind. The persons cart hit me right on the butt. I turn around at a human pace and see a new face.

The girls face is in nothing but pure sorry and then she looks to the ground. I study her like my life is depending on it for some reason. The girl has brown hair that goes down to her mid back. She has eyes that tell a story and her eyes are a light brown. She is a little shorter than me but she looks skinny. Her hands are small and pale. She's soaked to the bone from the rain outside so I'm guessing she walked here. She looks to be on her teens and by the looks of her cart she is still in high school.

I introduce myself and she looks alittle panicked before pointing to her throat and shaking her head no and then she starts to feel around for something in her pockets but comes back empty handed. I reach into my purse and pull out a pen and notepad for her and she gratefully takes it. She starts writing and she has neat handwriting. Her name is Isabella.

After having a small conversation she gets going and I check out. I place all the bags in the trunk of the car and then sit in the drivers seat until i see her come out. She starts walking quickly in the direction of the apartments. After she rounds a corner i start up the car and drive back to the house.

As soon as I pull into the garage they all come out and carry in the groceries for me and set them in the kitchen. I put away everything and make my way into the living room because it seems that we will be having a meeting. I sit in a chair and start thinking of things that we need to discuss and I come up empty handed. I hope everything's alright and... Im suddenly hit sith a wave of calm and look over to Jasper and smile thankfully at him and relax.

"Alright so we all know how to act at school so that's not what this meeting is about. This meeting is about a vision that Alice has saw and she seems really happy about it. How about you tell us what your so excited about Alice." Carlisle says.

"Alright so I saw that there is another new student tomorrow for our first day and that they are going to need some friends and i think we need to be the friends that they need." Alice says and sits back down.

Edward smiles and looks at me and i look at him confused. Why is he smiling at me, i haven't done anything except but them school supplies. Oh i get it Edward and Alice are doing that weird talk thing again.

"Alright well if that's all I need to get my study set up for work and in sure you all would like to enjoy the last night of freedom some how so this meeting is over." Carlisle says and then we all get up and go our own ways. I head towards the kitchen and start baking for the orphans and homeless.
