Aiden laid on his bed, staring up at the ceiling. He hadn't been in Forks for a day yet and he was already bored out of his mind. There was only so many times he could cycle through the games on his phone. The soft pitter patter of the pain had stopped around ten minutes ago yet it still looked dark and gloomy outside.

He pouted and sat up, throwing his phone to one side. He could always call Nate but he didn't want to seem clingy to a guy that wasn't his boyfriend. Besides, Nate had probably already found someone else, he thought bitterly.

The door to his bedroom opened and Bella stood there with her hands in her back pockets, a tense smile on her face. "How may I help you, dear sister of mine?" He asked sarcastically.

"There are some people here. Charlie wants us to meet them." She answered shortly, already turning around and making her way out.

He jumped off his bed quickly and followed her out. "Wait up!" He called, jogging to catch up to her. The twins walked through the front door of the house and Aiden smiled brightly at the two new people. He finally had some entertainment.

"Bella, Aiden, you remember Billy Black..." Charlie gestured towards the man in the wheelchair.

Aiden furrowed his eyebrows for few moments. It had been so long since he had been to Forks, he really didn't remember many people. The name did sound kind of familiar. "Yeah. Of course." He lied, feeling like it would be awkward if he just blurted out that he had no idea who this guy was.

"You're looking good." Bella nodded and Aiden hid his laugh at her.

"I'm still dancing." He smiled and held out his hand, shaking Bella's hand first before moving onto to the male twins. "I'm glad you two are finally here. Charlie here hasn't shut up about it since you told him you were coming."

Aiden looked at his dad, seeing him look to the ground with an embarrassed look. He nudged his dad in the side and smirked, "me and Bell's here are great company. You can't blame him." He joked.

"Alright, he's exaggerating..." Charlie said towards Billy. "I'll roll you into the mud." He walked around the large, orange truck.

Billy followed after him, wheeling himself close to Charlie. "Until I ram you in the ankles." The two grown man started to play fight in the middle of the road. Though the street was small and hardly ever busy so Aiden wasn't worried about them getting run over.

He shook his head at them and laughed. That's when the other male approached him and Bella. This one being considerably younger than Billy and he even looked younger than the twins but not by much. Aiden looked him up and down. He had long black hair and tanned skin with a bit of a baby face.

"Hi, I'm Jacob." He introduced with a bright, giddy smile. "We used to make mud pies when we were little."

Aiden clicked his fingers together and pointed at him. "You I remember." How could he forget the boy he used to call his best friend when he came here. They hung out all the time and he had so many memories of them. He and Jacob used to tease the hell out of Bella, pushing her in mud and running away from her childishly saying they didn't want to hang out with a girl. Good times.

"Are they always like this?" Bella nodded towards the two men that were still play fighting in the middle of the street.

"It's getting worse with old age." Jacob joked quietly as Charlie and Billy finally started to come back over to them.

As Charlie stopped next to them, he patted the orange truck and questioned, "so, what do you think?"

Aiden furrowed his eyebrows and looked at the truck, not understanding why his dad was asking his opinions on Billy's truck. "Um, it looks good." He patted the truck the same way his dad did. "I'm a little jealous it's Billy's and not mine." He said in a complete joking manner, not expecting to see Charlie's eyes light up with happiness. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Because kiddo, this is yours and Bella's homecoming present. Just bought it off Billy here. I-I didn't have enough money to get you each one of your own, so I thought you could share it. You're twins so I assume you're attached at the hip anyway." Charlie said. He was wrong about him and Bella. Most would think that because they were twins they were always together but because of how different they were, they always did things separate from each other. It's not like they didn't love each other, they just weren't that close.

Bella finally let a bit of excitement show across her face and Aiden looked at his dad with wide eyes. "You actually got us a car? That's awesome!" He pulled his dad into a hug. Charlie patted his back, laughing awkwardly from the affecting. "You just became the coolest dad ever. Thank you." He let go of Charlie and walked over to the truck.

"I totally rebuilt the engine for you." Jacob added, causing Aiden to look over at him with a smile.

"Come on! Oh My Gosh! This is perfect! You must be joking!" Bella exclaimed, rushing over to the car door and swinging it open, not seeing that Jacob was walking right past and she hit him, causing him to stumble back. "Sorry." She apologised, before getting into the drivers side.

As Jacob was falling back, Aiden caught him before he could fall on his ass. "Sorry about my clumsy sister there." He pushed Jacob to stand back up. "Is your leg okay?" He asked, slightly annoyed that Bella had just gotten straight into the car without making sure Jacob was alright. She was the one that hit him, she should be the one talking to him.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine. Thanks." Jacob looked down to the ground. "I'll just, um, I'll show you how to work it." They both walked around the car and Jacob got in first, leaving enough room for Aiden to follow in after. "Okay, you got to double pump the clutch when you shift but... besides that, you should be good."

Bella was concentrated on what he was saying but Aiden was a bit distracted by how tight the squeeze was with three people in the truck. He cleared his throat and reopened the door. "I'm just gonna be out here. Bit too squishy in there for my liking."

"Sorry, I can get out and you can get in."

Jacob was already moving to get out but Aiden shook his head quickly. "You're the expert of the car, stay in and teach us all we need to know oh wise one." He teased.

"You want a ride to school or something?" Bella asked Jacob and Aiden frowned. He didn't like the idea of being squished in the front seat again but than again, if Jacob wanted a right he couldn't be rude and say no... or could he? No, he couldn't. He pouted and crossed his arms. At least it was never hot so there wouldn't be three sweaty bodies in the confined space.

"I go to school on the reservation." Jacob answered and Aiden thanked god they didn't have to pick him up.

"Oh, right." Bella frowned, looking towards the steering wheel. "That's too bad. It would've been good to know one person." She wasn't good at making friends.

Aiden leaned across Jacob to punch his sister lightly on the arm. "Don't worry, Bell's. I won't leave your side." He promised and he could see that ease her nerves a little bit. Although they weren't that close, he wasn't going to leave her alone when she needed him.

Authors Note: Hey everybody! I've already got so many ideas for this story and I'm so excited to write it. This will definitely be and Edward Cullen story but I don't want Aiden to be exactly like Bella and do everything she does. I want there to be some twists and turns.

Also, since my other twilight story, Bella and the oc are really close, I made this one so they aren't so close and there will be drama and I just can't wait to write it.
