Chapter One Written By nikkielynn

"Mom, please I don't want to go back to Forks." I pleaded.

"Bella your dad loves you and he has every right to see you." My mom countered.

"Fine have him come here to see me but I'm never going back to that cold, wet, town where the sun barely shines. Yeah I loved my dad but he was the one who loved that town and I hate it."

Sure the law says I'm supposed to go visit him every other weekend and for a month every summer. But I was 15 and I knew that I had every right to say no. mom just didn't want to get in trouble with the law. It angered me that mom insisted that I called Charlie "dad" when he never felt like a dad to me. My friend Melissa and I always talked about heading to Las Vegas the next time I was going to see Charlie. But then she was forced to move to the small town of Morley Michigan when her dad got transferred to Ferris State University to teach an extremely advanced science program. We still kept in touch through letters and the occasional phone call.

Often Brenna and her boyfriend Tim would tell me that they were saving up for a trip to Mackinac Island in Michigan and that they would smuggle me as far north as Grand Rapids Michigan. They thought I could come up with enough money to get me to Morley. Of course they did take that vacation but I was stuck in Forks when they left. They left a note saying they were sorry and that they tried to talk my mom into letting me go but then she told them I was in Washington and that I wasn't coming home until Charlie sent me.

I was infuriated at Charlie. He didn't let me go home when his time was up. He told me he wanted me to stay until the carnival that was going to come through La Push that summer. So not to hurt his feelings I compromised with him. I told I would stay 2 weeks more if he dropped his right to every other weekend during the school year. I told him that because I was entering high school the homework levels would rise and that I didn't want my grade levels to fall because I couldn't get projects done over the weekends that I was in a totally different state than my partners. He agreed.

That was two years ago...
