Driven to Tears

Chapter 1- Meeting the Gang

Landing in LaGuardia airport in New York. Getting away from her was probably the best thing for me right now. I'm going to be living with my dad and my brother, I haven't seen them since my mother divorced Charlie10 years ago and she took me away from my brother Emmett. Emmett and I don't look anything alike, considering were twins.

I walked through the doors searching for Charlie in the terminal. I spotted his dark hair and brown mustache. I walked to him and smiled. He had a huge grin on his face and opened his arms for me.

"Isabella! You look great!" Charlie said as he hugged me. I hated when people called me Isabella. It was to formal for my liking. Call me anything but that and your good.

"Thanks Cha-dad!" I covered my mistake. "you look good too." I said as he kissed my forehead and started for his car. "Hey dad where's Emmett?" I asked out of curiosity. We pulled out of the parking garage and headed for home. Home, my new home in East Hampton, Long Island. I wonder if my room is still the same as I remembered it. Probably not since Emmett and me shared a room back then. I wait to see Emmett again. I've bee talking to him online sometimes. He sent me a picture a few weeks ago with him and his girlfriend. Her name was Rosalie. Rosalie was a beautiful blond with piercing bright blue eyes. She could probably be a model, if not already. Next to me, a boring brunette with ugly mud brown eyes. There was nothing about me that was attractive, my mother told me that all the time. I was a shy, klutz of a girl that isn't good at anything, well that's not entirely true. I was somewhat good at playing the guitar. That's manly what I did, it was an escape from being hurt by everyone. So after a rant, a few hits from her, I picked up my guitar and drowned out the world. I've heard from Emmett that Rosalie was a twin, like me and Em, and if Rosalie is as stunning as I saw in that picture he brother or sister must be as great looking. I must have fallen asleep on the car ride home because I was being shaken awake by Charlie.

"Bella, honey. Wake up. Were home." I heard him say in a soft whisper. I woke up to find indeed we have arrived to the home I loved. A big mansion and expensive car in the long round driveway.

"Whoa." Charlie chuckled at my amazement. "A lot has changed, but I still remember it." I continue to stair at the big brick house.

"Yeah we got the front painted a few years back. We get the landscapers do freshen up the garden every 2 weeks." ( Picture in Profile )

"It looks great dad. Oh and nice cars." I was drooling over a midnight blue, what looks to be a Jaguar.

"Well that's yours, sweetheart. It's a Audi R8." ( Picture in Profile ) he said as if it was nothing. I turned to face him and chocked a little bit.

"W-What did you just say? You can't possibly give me that!"

"Of Course I can. I cant have you walking around can I? And plus it cost nothing." I snorted.

I ran my fingers over the glossy blue paint of my new car. "Thank you dad. I love it." I said as I was turning around to look at him. I gave him a hug.

"Knew you would." I chuckled but then nodded. "Well Emmett is with some friends right now, so in the mean time I'll get the butler to bring your bags upstairs to your bedroom so you can unpack. Oh! And dinners at 6. I'll see you later, honey."

"Ok dad, and thanks for everything. I'll be upstairs."

The butler was a nice man and had a sweet grandfatherly kind of attitude. His name was Fredrick but I thought that was to much, so I asked him if it was alright to call him Freddie or something. He chuckled and said "Yes, whatever made me comfortable. And plus master Emmett calls me that anyway." I laughed. Emmett would. He took me to my new bedroom that I didn't remember from back then. Freddie explained that the house was remodeled a few years back to make room for the library and study. But this new room was fabulous! It had high ceilings, a light teal on the walls with a fire place on the opposite side of the room from the bed. It had a LCD T.V. over it! The bed was a queen with light flower pattern on it. The frame was black iron with white curtains around the top. ( Picture in Profile ) There was a wall of windows to the right of the bed. Also though the French doors there was a balcony with an amazing view of the water. I noticed there was a arch going to another room on the left side of the fireplace. Looking in there was a lounge looking room. I walked out of there and on the right of the fire place there was a bathroom. ( Picture in Profile ) This room-MY room, was beautiful. It look like it was out of a catalog. ( Haha. Pbteen ) I was speechless. The only words that came out of my mouth wa-

"Holy shit…" my mouth dropped. Fredrick only chuckled and put my bags on my bed and left. I walked around a bit, looked out the wall of windows and enjoyed the view of the sun hitting the water. I started with unpacking my bag and hooked up my iPod to my BOZE dock. I put my clothes into the drawers of my dresser and put some of the dresses that I had into my closet. I put my bathroom supply's into the shower shelves and into the cabinets under the sink. I decided to take a quick shower before dinner. The hot water burned my cuts and bruises. When I finally got out of the bathroom there was a pink bow and a note on a white Apple Macbook. I sighed and read the note. It was from my dad and it said that it was for school and communication. I was so grateful of Charlie letting me come home and ravishing me with presents. I usually wasn't used to getting treated so nicely. My eyes became watery. I put the Mac on my bed. I went to my dresser and grabbed a pair of dark wash skinny jeans from PacSun and cuffed them at the bottom. I walked to the closet and grabbed flip-flops. I grabbed a plain tank with lace at the top and bottom and threw a red Hollister zip-up hoodie. I went to the bathroom and did my hair and makeup. I walked out of the bathroom, grab my iPod and Mac and walked out the French doors to my balcony. I sat down at one of the lounge chairs and checked my e-mail and Facebook. It was 4 when I heard booming laughter from the front of the house. I closed my Mac and placed it on the side table next to me. I was watching the water and looking around the yard when I noticed a big tree at the corner of my balcony.

A good escape root. I chuckled to myself when I heard my door being kicked open. I turned around to see my muscle head of a brother with a shit eating grin on his face. He was always a teddy bear though.

"BELLY!" he screamed and ran to the balcony and wrapped my in a huge bear hug,

"Em….I-I…can't..BREATH…!"

"oh. Sorry Belly. I'm just happy SOOO happy to see you that's all." he looked down at me with his puppy dog eyes.

"Oh its fine Emmy." I stuck my tongue out at him like a 5 year old. His eyes widened with recognition with his old nickname and pulled me into another hug. This one he touched a bruise on my side from a glass vase hitting me. I'm glad my face was hidden from him so he wouldn't see the way I reacted.

"You remembered."

"Of course I did. I'm the one who gave it to you when we were 3." I then heard someone clear there throat in my room. Then I saw 4 other people standing in my room. "Oh." I blushed. I looked at the blond and I recognized from the picture from when Emmett sent me. "I recognized you from the picture Em sent me, which doesn't do you justice." I said smiling. She smiled back at me. "And I heard you had a twin so I'm guessing the blondie over there is uhhm…"

"Jasper." he finished for me smiling. He had a arm around a short pixie like girl. I guess his girl friend. Damn. She had short dark hair with light hazel eyes. She smiled widely at me and bounced, yep bounced and hugged me tightly. She seems overly hyper. Oh well I like her already.

"Hi Bella! I'm Alice and I can tell were going to be best friends!" she said clapping in place. I laughed.

"Its nice to meet you Alice, Rosalie Jasper and- "I turned to see the most godliest person I ever saw in my life. Whoa… I thought Jasper was good looking but day-yum. This guy was hawt! He had crazy copper colored hair with the most amazing color green eyes I ever saw. He smiled a crooked grin when he caught my staring and I blushed instantly.

"Edward. Its nice to finally meet you, Isabella. Emmett has been not stop talking about you for the past week." he chuckled. His voice was now my favorite sound. Swoon. Ok. Now I sound like and obsessed girlfriend. I need to stop. I laughed.

"Nice to meet you too Edward, but please don't call me Isabella. Just Bella, or Bells. Isabella is a mouth full." I said while he chuckled.

"Come on. Lets go into the lounge and chat." I said leading them to my lounge room through the arch.

We all talked a bit to get to know them and them me. I learned Alice and Edward were brother and sister, twins. Its kinda weird. Were all fraternal twins. I learned that Edward likes the same music I listen to. Rose loved to work on cars to my surprise and loves my new car. Alice is addicted to shopping. Jasper is super into the civil war. After dinner Rose and Alice were going through my closet and pulling things out and asking where I got it, yada yada. It was getting late so they all left after swapping numbers. We all planed to do something tomorrow. Me and Emmett walk up to our rooms his on the second floor and mine on the third.

"Goodnight Bell, I'm really glad your home." he pulled me into a hug and kissed my forehead. "I missed my sister so much."

I laughed. "Night Em."

I walked into my bathroom, striped from my clothes and stared at my bruises and cuts. All the painful memories flooded into my mind from that evil woman. I took out a small black box. I placed it on my vanity and opened it. I took out one shinny razor and drag it down my forearm. The blood trickled down and dripped into the sink. It released some of the pain but not all of it, its always going to be there I suppose, But for right now its numbing it. I cleaned up the mess I made and crawled into bed and cried.
