Charlie was what I was expecting, and to be honest I'm disappointed.
His sad smile and tired eyes made my heart cry for him. He looked as though he was tired of life.
I've always thought that he deserved better and that's what I'll do.
"Dad?" I stared at him, his face morphed from sad to shock.
He smiled. "Arielle."
I knew it was awkward as it is, the Cullen's weren't helping, well Rosalie and Esme. Their presence was making this reunion a bit more difficult to handle.
I scratched my neck and sighed. "I want to go home."
"Umm... Okay." Charlie nodded then escorted me to his cop car, the same one I ran away from.
I sighed and turned. "Thanks Ms Cullen for your hospitality during my stay."
Charlie almost choked but quickly recovered. I honestly don't know why, I mean I don't have any memories from this person, that I'm supposed to be.
Esme sadly smiled, "Goodbye dear. I hope you can come back to visit."
I nodded even though I won't be stepping another foot in that place or their world again.
I turned and entered the car, slamming the door behind me. Charlie stood there talking to Esme, probably thanking her.
He quickly rushed to the car and without looking back we left.
The car ride back was very awkward. Charlie didn't say anything, he just kept giving me side glances.
I was too mentally exhausted to even start a conversation. I stared out the window planning how to murder that stupid angle if I ever get to see her.
How dare she?! She lied! I'm screwed! That dude must've been living the life by now in a cool fantasy world! Here I am! Stuck! Fuck!
"Stupid El." I mumbled.
Charlie glanced at me as he parked the car. "We're here."
"Yup." I opened the door and quickly exited. I walked to the front door, waiting for him to open it.
Charlie cleared his throat from the car. I raised my eyebrow, waiting.
He coughed. "I have to go."
"Didn't you say that you'll take the day off?" I kept my face blank and my tone normal.
Honestly I don't care but I would've liked to get to know him better.
He rubbed his neck. "I mentioned that your sister would be coming, right?"
"So I've heard."
"Well, she came earlier than expected so I'm going to pick her up now."
"Okay."
"You don't want to tag along?"
"Why should I?"
"She's your sister."
"And?"
"You're both close."
"We were."
"What?"
"I don't know her."
Charlie sighed and rubbed his face. He looked even more exhausted but I don't care, for I am going through more shit.
"Where's the key?" I asked looking behind him at the car that passed.
"The door's open."
I nodded then pushed the door open. I smiled at Charlie. "Be safe."
So he wasn't taking the day off for me it was her. And here I was with my heart crying for the old man. I can see the difference now. I mean I'm just an extra so. I'll stay like that in the shadows.
I walked in without looking back. I heard the car start a few minutes later, leaving me alone.
I welcomed the silence. I explored around the house, found my room and even watered the dying cactus in the living room.
I cleaned around the house, washing the few plates in the sink. I took out the trash after locating the trash can, with a few bruises from falling down the stairs.
I was making my bed when I heard Charlie return. I heard the car door slam closed and the front door opening.
Someone, which I'm sure is Bella, was running up the stairs. She opened my door, shaking it's hinges.
"Arie!" She shouted.
She ran towards me, and hugged me. Her embrace was weak, and I didn't hug her back. She noticed as she stepped away.
"Arie?" She fixed a strand of her brown hair behind her ear.
I returned to fixing my bed, leaving us in a awkward silence.
She sat down at my desk. "I'm so glad you're okay."
"I've been so worried. When dad called saying that you were missing I freaked out! Mom was already planning to travel with Phil so I came earlier."
She kept on rambling, I just blocked out the sound of her annoying voice and fluffed my pillow.
"Are you okay? Dad said that you were staying with strangers." She whispered as she leaned closer.
I didn't answer and just stared at her. She's my twin but from what I've seen in the mirror, we're different. Yeah we have the same hair color, but my eyes are blue, my lips are more plump, I have more shape. My breast are decent, at least not as flat as hers. My hips are wider and my butt is big, but not excessively huge.
Strangers? Soon enough you'll want to be one of them.
"Yup." I replied while folding my laundry.
She looked confused, as she looked around my room as if seeing it for the first time.
She nodded. "You shouldn't be too close to strangers Arie. Yeah, they helped you but you shouldn't see them anymore. You don't know them."
Oh I do. I smiled. "I wasn't planning to dear. You know what?"
“What?" She stared at me.
I looked her in the eyes as I approached her. “You need to worry about your goddamn self. Baka."
She frowned. "Did I do something wrong?"
"Yes."
"What?"
"A lot."
"What do you mean, I haven't done anything!"
"You've fucked up by coming her Isabella!"
"How?"
"Go back!"
She stopped and stared at me, fuming. She doesn't express herself well but even a blind man would know she's upset.
I walked to my door. "Leave Isabella. Don't bring me down with you."
"What do you mean?" She yelled as she approached me.
I rolled my eyes. "Nothing. I'll do what I want with my life and you do as you see fit with yours."
She didn't reply and stormed out but I heard her say to Charlie that She's on her period.
Bitch if I was, I would've been dead before even leaving the Cullen's. I would've also snapped your neck finishing you.
I slammed the door shut as I saw Charlie approaching.
He knocked on the door. I sat down on the floor. I heard him sigh on the other side.
He cleared his throat. "Thanks for cleaning and stuff. Appreciate it."
I didn't reply and stood walking to my bed. I laid down as Charlie walked away, probably going to talk to Bella.
I relaxed as I made the darkness take over.
