I haven't see Charlie in years! Last time I saw him was when I was just what 7? At least I'm going to see him now. I decided to go and stay with Charlie because my mom and Phil, her new husband need time for themselves.
"Bella!" I heard Charlie say my name.
"Hey ch- dad, it's good to see you!" I tried to put a smile on my face so my dad wouldn't question me. I knew he wouldn't though one thing I liked about Charlie he didn't hover.
"Same here honey. Wow! Look at you, you grown so much! I'm glad you decided to stay with me" I mean I didn't have any other choice I didn't know half my family to move in with them.
"Yeah well I guess that what happens when you don't see people for the longest time." I said not trying to sound rude.
"Well let's get home and then we can talk." Charlie said
I nodded and went to go pick up my bags, but Charlie beat me to it and took them for me with a smile. But I insisted I take one f the bags but Charlie refused and told me to just carry my hand bag. We went to go look for the car and we found it. When I walked outside I remembered Forks Washington was a rainy place. Ugh I am most definitely going to miss the fresh and sunny air in phoenix. Charlie put all the bags in the car as I turned it on and got in. Most of the ride home was quiet but Charlie tried to start some conversations.
"I'm glad you made it safe and sound from Phoenix"
"Yup me too, I was a bit nervous haven't been on a plane for a while soo..." I didn't really have much to say to Charlie. I mean I am just like him quiet and independent. I guess the term like father like son doesn't work in this case instead it's like father like daughter. I wasn't very much like y mother she was more fun to be around with unlike me boring Bella. I also look more like Charlie with my hair and eyes; my mom is so much prettier than I will ever be. I'm kind of insecure about myself. We got home and I saw a big red Chevy truck. It seemed like Charlie saw me staring at it and said
"I bought that truck 2 weeks ago, from a man named Billy Black." Charlie said
"Is that so" I said
"Yup and it's all yours! I bought it for you as a welcome back present" I was completely shocked and ecstatic.
"Dad you didn't have to I was going to buy myself a car with my own-"I was cut off by Charlie
"Nonsense I bought it for you as a present, do you like it?
"Of course! Thank you soo much Charlie I appreciate it! You're the best!" I didn't have to fake a smile this time. Charlie seemed happy as well, even happier than before which I don't think is possible. Charlie went inside and came back out with a pair of car keys.
"She's all yours! Take good care of her now" I nodded in response
"Again thank you so much dad!"
"Well let's go inside and get you settled in huh"
I nodded. We went inside the living wasn't so big but not too small, the kitchen was average. Charlie took me upstairs and showed me my room. It was across from the bathroom. My room was the same except there wasn't any toys on the floor and they was a new table. The bed covers were purple as well as the color on the walls.
"I cleaned up in here I didn't change the wall cover because I didn't know what your favorite color was, I also bought that table so you can so your homework there, and new bed covers to match the room color. Do you like it?"
I just went up to hug Charlie for being a good dad till this day.
"Again thank dad you went all out, and I like it thank you!"
"My pleasure, I didn't want you to feel uncomfortable. I mean you are going to be living here now"
I smiled at Charlie, but then my stomach growled Charlie chuckled and told me to go down stairs for dinner. I told him I was going to be down in a bit just had to wash up. As I finished washing up I headed down stairs. Charlie had a box of pizza on the table and was getting out the refreshments. I could already tell I was going to be cooking for Charlie from now on. I sat down at the table and handed Charlie a plate and a cup which were already on the table. Charlie came with I juice jug and set it down on the table. I grabbed a pizza and I did too. I was quiet for a moment and then Charlie started talking.
"So do you remember the Cullen Family?"
"Uhmm" was all I can say.
"Awh bells don't tell me you forgot them." How can I forget my second family? Of course I didn't forget them!
"Hold up dad lemme remember" I said trying to play dumb "oh yeah the Cullen Family! Yeah I remember them but I can't remember all of them I just remember Alice"
"So you don't remember your childhood best friend Edward?" Oh no he did not bring out Edwards name did he? How can I forget him especially he was my partner in crime! But I just acted like I didn't know who he was talking about.
"Uhmm ... "I said again
"Seems like you forgot bells, which is kind of strange since you two were always together. I m talking about like 24/7!"
"Oh Edward! Now I remember! "Hoping saying this would change the subject.
"Finally, I was about to say you had short tern memory, maybe you should visit them some time."
Oh god no! Was Charlie actually suggesting this? I mean I would love to go and see them but would they remember me?
"Uh I should, but they probably won't remember me" I said in a shaky tone
"Are you kidding me? When I told them you were coming! They were all happy! Especially Alice!"
Ah Alice Edwards twin sister! How much I loved her and miss her! She was like my sister!
"Well I guess it wouldn't hurt to see them" I said
"Good" Charlie said
I had already finished my pizza and thank god! I excused myself and told Charlie i was exhausted and was going to bed. He nodded. I went to my room and got my bag of toiletries. I brushed my teeth, grabbed my pajamas and it the sack. I kept wondering in my mind if they actually remembered who I really was. I woke up the next to hear the sound of the television on. I went to the bathroom took and a bath and brushed my teeth. As I was ready I saw Charlie watching TV. I said good morning as well as he did. Charlie had made eggs and bacon which I was shocked to find. I ate and went back to my room to put away all my items. I finished around 3 and then headed back down stairs; I went and sat next to Charlie he smiled.
"I need to go grocery shopping you want to come?" I nodded. We went and I got all the stuff we needed I could tell that I was going to do most of the grocery shopping from now on too. I insisted on Charlie not worrying about me cooking or grocery shopping. Then he finally gave in and said okay. We finished shopping around 5. I couldn't believe we took two hours on grocery shopping! For dinner we went to one of Charlie's favorite diners. We talked and ate and had a good time. Charlie told me I would be attending Forks High and will be starting tomorrow. Thank god! We went school shopping as well. We finally arrived home around 6:30. When we got home we put all the groceries away and I headed upstairs and called my Renee my mom. I told her how Charlie was dong and that I would be attending school tomorrow. I finished talking to my mom around 8. I decided to get ready for my first day of school. I was nervous. I went to go take a nice warm shower that always made me relax. I was finally ready to go to bed and went to say good night to Charlie. As was lying in bed I kept thinking if my first day will go well and if Alice and Edward went to Forks High. I finally shut my eyes and started dreaming about my childhood with Alice and Edward.
