Hi guys. This is my first fan fiction. I've been reading a lot of it lately and it inspired me to write my own. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for reading.
Isabella Swan-Forks, Washington
Chapter One: The Promise
Every night I go out and stare at the sky. Holding the half of the pendant he gave me. Moving here with my dad after my mom died made things very complicated between me and Charlie. We were both depressed and I had to go back to school. People in Forks High School weren't very welcoming to me. Everytime I walk by the halls, everytime I eat in the cafeteria, everyone is just staring at me. Moving here was a bad thing. I never wanted to live Phoenix. I was hoping that one day I'll find… him.
I thumbed the locket once again and closed my eyes while whispering,
"Watching the stars up above;
I dream to see your face.
Worried about you,
my heart starts to—"
"Bella, come down here. We need to talk."
Ugh. I'm never able to go through a day without Charlie and I having the 'talk'. What is it this time? Let me guess. Is it about me answering back to Mr. Banner a while ago or that I got a C- in one of his stupid fucking tests? Did he really do what he said? Did he really call my house? Ugh. Kill me. Kill me. Kill me.
"Bella?"
"What Dad."
"Mr. Banner left a message. He said that you've been very distracted in class lately and that you snapped back to him the other day. What's happening to you Isabella?"
Oh no. My full name. He's upset. I fucking knew it. Thanks a lot Mr. Banner.
Actually this is weird. This is probably the 10th time today that I guessed about something happening. I should really stop guessing because it's scaring me. A lot.
"Bells?"
"Oh I'm sorry Dad. I just haven't been able to have enough sleep the last couple of days because I was too busy arranging mom's funeral."
"I'm so sorry honey. I understand you. I myself am not over your mom's death. I try to forget about it by working really hard. I would try to help you but you know how busy I've been lately. There were too many victims in the encounter that happened in Port Angeles. We haven't exactly found the suspect but whomever or whatever it was had super human strength. They really need me. I'm sorry Bella."
"Of course, that's more important than mom's burial." I rolled my eyes and turned around.
"Bella come on. You and I both know this is not easy. You're not the only one suffering." He answered with a hint of pain in his voice.
"I loved your mother." He whispered softly.
"I know. I'm sorry Dad." I looked down.
He pulled me in for an awkward 'dad-and-daughter hug' if that term even exist.
"I was surprised to see that you were still up. I saw the lights were still open in your room and I decided to talk to you after hearing the message he left. He seems really… concerned about you Bella."
Him? Concerned? HAHAHA. That would be the last thing I'd expect from him.
"It's okay Dad. I understand. You should eat. I cooked some Beef Stroganoff for dinner. It's on the countertop I'm going to bed. Good night."
I ran upstairs and I heard him yell something that sounded like "Good night Bella. Sweet dreams."
I went back to sit at the edge of my window. I liked the sound of the night. It seemed very peaceful and safe. I miss spending nights like this with someone. I completely forgot that I didn't close my door and I saw Charlie peeping through the small crack.
"Ahh, you caught me. May I join you?"
"Course Dad."
He sat at on the other side of the edge of the window and started grazing through the stars. I looked into my father's eyes and saw sadness and pain.
"You still miss him huh?"
Oh Dad. I don't really want to talk about him. Besides, what kind of question is that? I think you already know the answer.
I just simply nodded and looked away.
"I really wish he was here with you. I remember you guys were inseparable. You had each other's back through thick or thin."
"Yeah. Moving here wouldn't have been so bad either."
"He would've also probably helped you cope with your depression."
There was a long period of silence between the two of us. I had to admit. This was awkward. I've never really had been close to Charlie. I used always talk about these stuff with my mom. He probably thought it was his responsibility to do this or something. I smiled at that thought and I decided to show my appreciation.
"Thanks Dad, for joining me here, keeping me company."
"You're always welcome. I also needed someone to talk to." He smiled.
"… and I also wanted to talk to my daughter. I haven't been spending as much time with you."
"By the way, the Beef Str -"
"Stroganoff" I said, finishing the word for him.
"Right. It was good. I like it. Thanks"
"You're welcome Dad." I just smiled.
"So how's school?"
We're actually having a conversation. Wow. I wonder what happened to him at work.
"Still the same. People are staring at me all the time. Is it really weird seeing a new girl?" I sighed.
"Don't worry. One more year Bella and you'll be out of Forks High."
"How about you? How's work?"
I am I really asking him this? Are we really having this conversation? Well, I'd love to hear what the fuck happened at work. Or maybe he accidentally hit his head on the wall? Why is it unbelievable to me that my dad was opening up and talking to me?
"Still looking for that creature that attacked 21 people in the mall in Port Angeles. I really can't tell you much Bella. Everything is-"
"Strictly confidential. I know." I cut him off.
"One day, when you graduate college. You'll take my place."
I just looked at him strangely. He never really explained to me what he meant whenever he said that. All I know is that he started saying that when he became friends with Billy Black, the father of one of the kids around here, Jacob Black.
Alright. You never seem to fail to weird me out Dad. Never. 10 points for that.
He looked intently at the houses surrounding us and somewhere far away. He seemed hopeful. He leaned down and kissed my forehead. He stood up and rubbed my arms.
"Good night Bella. Always remember that I love you. We will get through everything if we work together. I didn't mean to raise my voice a while ago. I just want the best for you. Always the best for you. You know that."
"Yes Dad."
"You should go to bed already. Don't stay up to late."
I lightly grumbled a protest when he said that. I feel like he's treating me like a kid whenever he says that.
I glanced at the stars for one last time and closed my windows. I fluffed my pillow and decided to lie on my bed, staring at the ceiling. I thought about Renee and…him. I curled up like a ball, took my half of the locket and held it as tight as I can. I remember his exact words the night he broke the locket in half and gave me the other piece.
"Wherever you are, as long as you have this, you are always going to have a part of me with you. I'll keep my half and you keep your half. I'll always be thinking about you whenever I hold this. This will be the sign of our friendship. Whenever you're in trouble, scared or whenever you miss me just remember to hold on tight to this and say
'Watching the stars up above;
I dream to see your face.
Worried about you,
my heart starts to race.
Where are you now?
I will find you & I'll never give up
till the end of my days.'
That's our promise. We'll always find each other no matter what. This will also make you braver and you can fight any monster!"
"Wow, really? How'd you know that?"
"My dad told me. He said it works and I thought I'd share it with you for when I'm not with you to protect you."
"So, it's like magic?"
"I don't know. I guess. But my dad always said that if you believe in it, it will work. So I believe in it."
Going back to reality, I realized that tears started rolling down my cheeks. Feeling half-asleep, I felt myself whisper into the darkness,
"I miss you, Ed."
There you have it. Bella's been going through so much and just wishes he's with him. With 'he' we're talking about this dude. 'Ed' Hmmm c:
Tell me what you think.
Gimme some love (:
