Green Sage
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, though I would do anything to own it so I could fix its grammar and then republish it. I only own my plot line and my OCs.
Hey guys, I just wanted to clarify a few things up before we start.
1. Renee took the children away when Bella was 5, not 2
2. Bella's last visit to Forks was when she was 10
3. Bella and Mia will have a year difference in age but I'll be making Mia be in a higher grade than Bella (No, Mia will not be the 'smartest OC' many writers make but the reason behind her being in a higher grade is due to her skipping one year of Kindergarten as well as starting a year earlier)
4. THIS IS A ALICE/JASPER/OC STORY. NOT A LOVE TRIANGLE STORY BUT A POLYGAMOUS RELATIONSHIP AKA THREE-SIDED LOVE WHERE EACH PARTNER LOVES THE OTHER TWO
5. This story will tend to go sorta AU after Canon begins
6. There are some differences to the vampires rather than in canon
7. My story is going to attempt to follow the timeline set in the books (2005 – Twilight so there would be some differences in the trends and the economy)
8. I have followed the British curriculum so I have no idea what the American one feels/looks like so please bear with me
A hefty sigh escaped the young teenager's lips as she plopped down on the bed. She peeled off the yellow rubber gloves that she wore and pulled off her scrunchie to fix her hair. Her body was covered with a slight sheen of sweat.
Mia rested her arms on her knees as she sat in a crouched position with her eyes analyzing the nearly bare room. Not much remained within the colorful walls; she had almost finished putting away most of the items. There were a couple of boxes set up by the wall, all full of Mia's items. And all ready to be shipped to another place by tomorrow evening.
So many years had passed since she actually spent time with her dad. Too many in the opinion of the young adolescent confined in the room. Mia had forgotten how her father had even looked like. So with constant begging, crying and emotionally blackmailing her sister and her mother, she was allowed to continue her high school life in the 'cold and dreary town of Forks'. Those being her sister's exact words with an enormous grimace.
But Mia couldn't wait, she would finally be with her dad who was equally excited. Though he hid it better than she did.
The day she found out was during their weekly call from Charlie (weekly and not daily due to the huge bill that always came from the long distanced calls). It had been a brutal day with the dry heat of Phoenix. Mia had been complaining about College opportunities because all of her classmates had an idea of where they would go.
'"Sara has been over the moon about the response UCLA sent her. Junior year is about to finish and practically every classmate of mine has found some kind of place to go. It would be fine if the teachers weren't hounding me to pick a place."
Charlie hummed over the phone.
"Well, have you thought of what field you want to go in?"
"I thought medicine could be a great choice. Every college councilor thought it was a good option but I don't like the University and colleges they showed me."
"Medical is very hard from what I've heard. But I think you made a good choice," Charlie spoke. "And, what's wrong with the Universities?"
Mia sighed and lied back on the couch, "Some of the Universities are too far, some are far too expensive and none seem to have a great advantage to them. If I do decide to go to the more well-known ones, the dorm fee itself could be the fee I could pay at a lower, less known university.
I'm just tired of constantly worrying about the future. I mean, I'm not even this stressed about senior year."
"Well, it's good you still have a year left. That's plenty of time to figure out the entire issue."
"Yeah," Mia sighed. "How's Forks? And how's the gang?"
Charlie spluttered from his end making Mia burst into giggles.
"Gang?"
"Well, you know, the 'Dad's gang'. Its what I call all of your friends, because, honestly if I asked about each one of them separately, it would end up with the call being 2 hours longer than usual."
"Well, everyone is good. And, honestly, they all seem very excited."
Mia perked up.
"Wait! Why?"
"Forks is having a newcomer soon, and you know, this town loves new people."
"That seems nice. No one even notices if a whole group of people appear out of nowhere in Phoenix. Do you know who the person is?"
"Yeah, I think you'd be really excited to find out who it is."
"Robert Downey, Jr.!"
"No Mia," Charlie snickered, "It's not Robert Downey, Jr. It's you!"
Mia paused and cocked her head to the side. Had she heard wrongly?
"What do you mean 'it's you'?"
"Well, Ren-your mother and I decided it would be nice for your last year of high school to be in Forks."
"No way," Mia breathed out. Her words cut off Charlie's worried chatter, "Oh my goodness! I can't wait!"
She heard her father breathe out in relief.
"I can't believe it! How long ago did you decide this?"
"Well, it's been well over a week. We were just figuring out how to transfer you over without any issues."
Mia had squealed and thanked her father over the phone. For the first time since the beginning of the second semester, Mia smiled happily.'
And here she was, nearly finished packing her things. Her soul content with the move. Unlike her sister, Isabella.
For some reason, Isabella shared her mother's dislike about the small town. It wasn't just the place, but the lack of opportunities as well, or so Isabella thought. Not to mention, Isabella never truly liked the rain. She had always found it troublesome. And she didn't make any attempt to hide that fact either. So whenever she had visited Charlie in the past, it was blatantly obvious she wasn't happy, putting a strain on her relationship with Charlie.
It also didn't help the case when he overheard Bella call him Charlie, his first name, instead of his righteous title.
Ugh, Bella, Mia thought.
Being the younger child meant a lot of things; having certain expectations, always being the best like the elder child as well as making up for the other's mistakes. Not to mention the constantly disappointed glare of the parents when the child wasn't what they hoped for. But Mia Swan was used to it and let it not hurt her, for, she knew her dad would always love her, more than her mother did. But Bella, she never tried making it easier for Mia. She just thrust books upon Mia, forcing her to try to like the same things Bella did as well as never letting Mia have her own opinion. But what was worse in Mia's opinion was that she tried to connect with Bella (accepting those old boring books of hers, letting Bella ramble on her beliefs) but Bella didn't try the same.
Mia remembered when she picked up her first book, a fictional. She was obsessed with it and hoped that Bella would share that love but Bella just made a face and never even tried to read it. Then, when Mia found refuge in anime, Bella gave her a lecture. A lecture! Of all things, a lecture about liking weird cartoons.
But the last straw for Mia was when Bella dissed their father's efforts to rekindle their relationship when he offered to have them in the summer. That was how it became, the rift between the two Swans. Though they would smile and laugh (only to appease their mother) with each other, Mia never felt like she could call Bella her sister; the one person she could always count on, the person who she could share her deepest secrets and desires with and the one who always cared for her. No, that person didn't exist for Mia but she prayed, Lord she prayed that it could be her dad.
So, on one hand, she would be losing her 'relationship' with her sister, but on the other, she could finally be with her dad. Which was why her flight had been the exact day after the last day of junior year.
It took more than a month to fix all problems with the living accommodations as it turned out that Swan residence was rarely taken care of. Her dad had been very busy with work which led to his accidental neglect to the house.
Workaholic, Mia thought with a fond smile.
Charlie had given a tiny overall on everything that was missing and they both promised to fix out the house when Mia went there.
Though it ruined Mia's wish to be finished with moving things around and fixing things, Mia realized she could spend more time with Charlie that way. Making a mental note to buy a phone before she left after tomorrow, Mia's stomach growl shook her out of her silent mussing and brought her back to reality. With worn out eyes, she got up and finished packing. She couldn't wait to go back home.
