A/N:
Hello my fantastic readers. This is another story of mine that was on my other. Account. I do intend to finish it. But for now here is the improved version of the first chapter. Please review, I hope you like it.
CHAPTER 1
BELLA POV:
I was currently sat on the love seat with Edward at the Cullen family home. His arms were wrapped around me. I felt frustrated because everyone in this room knew that I don't actually like Edward, so why couldn't he take a hint? I already knew who my true make is, DK, so all the bullshit that Edward sprouts doesn't affect me. But, this will be explained later.
I was watching the TV. I sat quietly, ignoring Alice who kept pestering me about about taking me to a new mall that was opening soon.
Just then, my phone started ringing...
I never feared death or dyun',
I only feared never tryin',
I am whatever I am,
Only God can judge me now.
One shot everything rides on,
Tonight, even if I got, three strikes,
I'mma go for it,
This moment,
We own it.
The Cullen's all turned towards me, a look of suprise marring their features. I simply ignored them and checked my caller ID. I had hoped, prayed infact, that it wasn't who I thought it was, but seeing that things didn't go the way I had hoped, I knew that luck wasn't on my side. I could see Edward trying to peek and see who was calling me, but I quickly blocked his line of sight. I got up and walked outside into the Cullen's back yard, hoping that they wouldn't hear my conversation, but of course that was a big stretch.
'Hey Letty.' I answered my phone.
Yes, you heard me right I know Letty, as in Leticia Ortiz. The one and only.
'Yo. How's it going DQ, what's kickin'?'
'Girl, you know how it be boring as fuck, of course I had to do suttin' to pass the time, so I fount' myself a new boyfriend. How you all is doin' girl, I miss you, say 'hi' to the gang for me, will ya. Girl, how they doin' anyway? Do they miss the Q? Do they send their... condolences for me?'
'They sure as fuck do babe, they sure as fuck do. Hun, I gotta ask you suttin'.
'What?'
I really hoped that those nosey Cullen's weren't listening to my conversation right now, but of course that was highly unlikely.
'Okay,...so DK threatens to blow up your garage if you are not in L.A. at the usual route by eleven tonight...to have a race with him. 50 g's a piece. This is your track DQ, you got dis', you own this race. Please?'
I was seething. That Motherfucker. So now I have to ditch my life here, and be in L.A. in just a few hours. How the fuck am I going to explain this to the Cullen's?!
'B, ya there?'
'Yeah, I got y'all. I'll be there as soon as I can.'
'Okay DQ, love ya girl, bye.'
'Bye.'
With that I hung up and walked back inside. Fully aware of what was at stake, I went into commander mode.
'Right, who has the fastest car? Okayyy. Edward, give me the keys to your Aston Martin and be lively about it, I haven't got all day. I need somebody to pack me energy drinks, food, and coffee, lot's of coffee!'
I said what I needed to say, but nobody had moved an inch. Instead they stayed seated, looking at me in shock. I was beyond pissed.
'Bella, what do you need the car for?'
'Who was on the phone that was making you act like this, this isn't you, stop this at once.'
'You have a truck, use that.'
'What is going on Bella, why are you in such a rush?'
'You heard my belly-boo Eddy boy, give Bella your keys, I want to know how well she can handle the speed.'
Sighing in annoyance, I spoke up, 'Listen up people, I don't have time for this, if you really want to know, then you will do as I say and keep quiet until the time is right. Patience is a virtue. Do you understand?' I glared at every single one of them, effectively shutting them up.
Quickly checking my phone, I worked out how long it would take me to get from Forks, Washington to L.A. Fuckkkk! 18 hours including traffic?! I barely had 10. I really am going to have to push myself to the limits if I want to get there on time. If any of the Cullen's try to slow me down, I am going to ditch them, because I don't have time for their crap.
The time was 12:48pm, I had to hurry.
I'm going home. If any of you want to come with me, get packing my things and be at Charlie's in 10. Don't forget to take all of your cars, they may come in handy. I also need all of you to pack a suitcase each with enough clothes to last you for a couple of weeks, we will be there for a while. Got it?
They all rapidly nodded their heads in response to my question. Good to know we are all on the same wave length.
'Edward. They keys to the Aston Martin?' I held my hand out, impatiently tapping my foot. How much slower could they get? 'Hurry up!'
Two minutes later I had arrived at Charlie's house, driving Edward's car. I rushed inside and sprinted up the stairs to my room. Bursting through the door, I ran to my closet and pulled out all my clothes, stuffing them inside my suitcase. There, how easy was that? Just so you know, when I say 'my clothes', I don't mean the typically horrible clothes that 'Bella Swan' wears, i'm talking about my style of clothes, clothes that I could not be seen wearing in a town this small. People talk. Not that I care, but I had a secret to keep.
The reason why Alice never knew about these clothes was because I have a secret door at the back of my closet, this lead to an even larger closet which was of course where my usual attire was kept.
Deciding that I had enough time to get changed, I put on my black leather booty shorts, and a dark green tube top. To top it off I put on a black leather jacket and a pair of black thigh-high boots.
Next I did my makeup. I painted my lips the shade of cherry red and put on some black eyeliner and mascara. I painted my nails that same shade of red as my lips and waited the two minutes for them to dry before writing a note to Charlie explaining what was happening.
Dear Dad,
I don't have much time, so in short. Letty called me not long ago explaining to me that if I am not in L.A. for a race by 11pm tonight, DK will blow up my garage, and I am not going to let that happen which is why I need to be there to stop him. I will be back soon.
Bye dad, love you.
One thing that people don't know about me is that Charlie isn't my real father. I know, shocker right. Charlie was actually a good friend to my real father. He was one of the best street racers along with my dad back in their day. They taught my crew and I how to drive just like them, if not better, before they got busted. My father had died on impact in a collision whilst trying to escape from the police. Though Charlie was caught, he got lucky, at east he still has his life. He served his time by doing community service. Since this was his first time being caught, Charlie didn't get a huge sentencing because there wasn't enough sufficient evidence. When his time was up, he ended up moving to Forks, and just a few year later, he became the Police Chief for this town. Charlie took me in after my father died. I never knew my mother, she left us when I was just a baby, leaving my father to look after me.
I was now ready, my suitcase had been placed at the back of my car a while ago. What was taking the Cullens so long?!
My car was a 98 Nissan with illegal MODS. It was midnight blue in colour with a huge white rose on the hood.
By the time the Cullens arrived, I was far beyond annoyed. Each of them were driving in their own cars. Edward in his Volvo, Alice in her Porsche, Jasper in his Dodge, Emmett, his Jeep, Rosalie had her BMW, Carlisle had his Mercedes and finally Esme in her Mazda. Looks like they will all be joining me on my trip. I just sighed in annoyance.
'It's about time you showed up, what took you so long? Talk about being slow!'
The Cullens didn't say anything, they just got out of their cars and stared at me. It was kind of awkward. Oh my gosh, I know I look different, but you don't need to oogle at me! Honestly!
Of all people who could have broken the silence, Emmett decided to speak up. 'Damn Bells, you look hot. Is that really you?'
Before I had a chance to respond, Rosalie slapped Emmett upside the head.
'Oww Rosie, what was that for?!' I just snickered in the background.
'Well I don't know Emmett. What do you think?'
Deciding to break up the argument that was about to happen, I spoke up. 'Enough is enough. Time is precious here and I don't have any to waste. Now get inside your cars and follow me...'
