So, yes I still have writer's block when it comes to Dream On. I have an idea of where I want to go, I just don't know how I'm going to go about getting there.

Thank you to the three people who reviewed. I believe I gave each of you a slightly different sneak peak and that's because I've changed that passage several times. So here's Chapter 2:

Only Time Will Tell

Chapter 2

Family? I don't think so.

I spent nearly a week laying on my rock of a bed. I didn't eat. I didn't move. I didn't do anything. I was emotionless. I felt alone. Why Charlie leave me? Why would Renee leave me? Why would anyone leave me?

Angela had been adopted not two days after I arrived at Child Services. She now had two little brothers, twins and loving parents.

"Bella?" Linda whispered, waking me from the only place that was safe anymore, slumber. "Bella, there's someone here to see you. They're looking to adopt a girl about your age." I sat up. "Please be good." She was referring to my silence for the previous six days.

"I will. Let me get dressed and I'll be right out." I muttered, still sounding a little depressed.

"Okay. They're in the lobby."

I nodded and smiled half-heartedly before getting out of bed. Linda closed the door behind her and I started to get changed. I put on my favourite pair of black skinny jeans and a lavender top. I slid my feed into my purple flats that matched my shirt and opened the door. I had to dress to impress.

As soon as I entered the lobby two very… attractive people stood from their seats. "Bella?" They asked in unison.

"Yes," I nodded. "That's me."

"We're looking to adopt a girl your age and we would like to talk to you. Is there somewhere we could go to speak privately?" The woman said, taking a step towards me.

"Yes." I repeated. "Follow me." I started walking towards the interview rooms. Once there I motioned towards the chairs. "You can have a seat, if you like."

"Thank you." The man sat down in the furthest chair followed by his wife. I sat down across from them. "I'm Carlisle and this is my wife, Esme." He gestured towards the woman sitting next to him.

"It's nice to meet you." I looked at them and pitied myself. They were both so beautiful and I was just a plain Jane. I would never be accepted as a part of their family.

"We won't ask you anything to personal, alright?" I nodded at Esme's words. I nodded for what seemed like the millionth time. "You're seventeen, right Bella?"

"Yes. I was born in Phoenix but when I was a few years old my…mother…she left my father and me." I admitted

"Oh. Phoenix? That's where we… live. Will that be a problem? You know, will it make you remember…bad memories?" Esme seemed like the concerned, non-selfish type. She really felt for me even though I'd never told her about what had happened with Charlie.

"No. I love Phoenix!" I exclaimed. "I've always hated Forks. My dad…" I had to pause to take a deep breath.

"Take your time. In fact, you don't even need to tell me anything." She touched my forearm lightly.

"Thank you." I murmured, deciding not to continue. The Charlie wounds were just to fresh.

Esme and Carlisle continued to question me for an hour. Finally Linda interrupted to tell me I could go eat lunch now. The couple quickly excused themselves and told me they would talk to each other about adopting me. Suddenly the furious feeling in the pit of my stomach was wiped clean and replaced with a nervous feeling. Esme seemed like the perfect, someone who could easily replace the thoughts of Renee. And Carlisle seemed like someone who would definitely not replace Charlie but help me enhance my memories.

"Thank you." I muttered while exiting the room. I paused just outside the room, after I closed the door. I knew I shouldn't have done it but I couldn't resist it.

"Any progress?" Linda asked.

"I think…" Esme pondered. "We would like to adopt her. She seems like a wonderful girl and a magnificent daughter."

"Okay, if you'll follow me to the lobby you can fill out the forms. I'll let Bella know after lunch." I couldn't believe it! I had a new family and my new parents were Esme and Carlisle Cullen. They had told me they had a daughter and two sons already and loved their daughter so much they decided to adopt another.

I ran straight to my room, of course not interested in eating. I grabbed everything from my dresser, bed and bathroom and shoved it all in the duffel bag. I couldn't wait to get out of this dump of a place.

I couldn't believe I had fallen asleep. I guess not eating for a week does that to you.

"Bella?" Linda shook me gently. "Bella, dear, I have some good news." She paused for dramatic effect. "Mr. and Mrs. Cullen have decided to adopt you." I already knew this but that didn't stop me from smiling, a big, toothy grin. "They'll be here in a little while to pick you up so you should be ready and presentable in, I'd say, forty-five minutes."

I nodded and stood to get dressed. "Wait," I paused realizing something. "Doesn't it take over twenty-four hours for the papers to be finished?"

"Yes. Actually, you've been asleep for two days." She looked down. It seemed like she was ashamed of it.

"Oh, no that's fine. Thank you, I needed a good rest. I'll get dressed right away and be out in the lobby soon."

"Bella, they're here." Linda whispered in my ear, startling me. "Oh sorry to scare you. Esme and Carlisle are waiting for you at the door."

"Okay, thank you, Linda, for everything." I thanked her.

She pulled me into a tight hug. "I'll miss you Bella. Please, take care of yourself."

"I will." I assured her, pulling out of the hug awkwardly. I walked in the general direction on the doors.

Suddenly I was pulled into a tight embrace. "Bella!" Esme cooed in my ear.

"Mrs. Cullen." I greeted her, nodding my head slightly.

"Oh please, dear, call us by our first names, Esme and Carlisle. Or if you wish, Mom and Dad. Either one's fine with us. You're family now." Family. I knew I would never have another real family, just a fake one that Child Serves had chosen for me. I would never truly have a mom or a dad or real brothers and sisters. I would always feel alone.
