Preface.
"Mom, I am going to miss you…but I want to go to Forks. You go and have fun with Phil, I promise nothing bad will happen. I'll be extra careful."
She seemed convinced that I would be safe, though I know that she knew me being careful was hardly the problem. Disaster seemed to find me wherever I went. Alas, I had my mind set. I was going to move to Forks, WA to be with my father Charlie. I hadn't seen that dreary, rainy, horrible little place in a very long time. I didn't miss it, something about the rain always seemed unappealing to me to say the least.
Charlie was all too excited for my arrival. He had already purchased an old truck for me from a friend on the reservation. I had been enrolled into school and supposedly he had help from Ms. Clearwater on decorating my room. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad when I arrived. I was dreading everyone in town expecting my arrival. It was almost as if I could not escape the rumors my mother left behind when she left my dad. I was some mysterious daughter that Charlie missed every day of existence. And when they heard I was coming…well let's just say everyone was more than happy to pitch in.
I grabbed my bag off the cool tiled floor and headed out the front door. I stuck my key in the door for the last time and locked it before turning to head where the taxi cab waited. My mother, Renee, had wanted to take me to the airport herself but she had her own plane to catch. I didn't want to make her late, Phil was so happy that she had decided to travel with him. I don't think I will ever be able to understand the love they held for each other. Love, a love like theirs, wasn't something I had ever dreamed of understanding...or even feeling.
I just wanted to have fun and boys--especially high school boys--were way too fickle and ignorant. I sighed as the cab came to an abrupt stop in front of the airport too soon. I handed the driver the money for the ride plus a tip. He smiled slightly at my gesture and told me to have fun on my trip. If only he knew it was my own personal hell I had sentenced myself to. The sun never shined there and it seemed to rain constantly. I grabbed my bag from the trunk and headed toward security.
The check in was a very tedious process and as the plane boarded I took one last longing look at Phoenix, AZ.
My home.
I would miss this place so much more than I had originally thought. The way the sun continued to burst with color even as it was saying its final goodbye to warm, vivid day and gave way to the gently cool, clear night sky. Pink and orange shades beautifully over-filled the sky as I closed my eyes to breathe in the last sweet scent of daylight that was my only farewell in the busy airport. I took my seat on the plane and adjusted it as much as you possibly can, which of course is never enough. In approximately 3 hours I would be in my new home. I sighed as I watched the clouds drift by my window, I could almost see the rainy days ahead in the distance.
