As I stepped out of the airport, I expected to be blinded by the sunlight. Then I remembered, I'm in Washington. I followed my sister to where she said she'd seen our father. And there he was. With his little moustache, arms folded, leaning against his cop car. I ran up and embraced the man, "Daddy." He squeezed me tightly, "Hey, Syd." I pulled back to let Bella greet him.

She raised her hand slowly, and waved. "Hey, Dad." She said, awkwardly.

I sighed, "Bella. You haven't seen the man in years! Give him a hug!" I pushed her into our Dad. She hesitantly wrapped her arms around him. Dad patted her on the back. I found it sad that she couldn't give her own father a hug without making it look extremely awkward. She was always more like Dad, while I was like Mom. More… eccentric. We put all our bags in and climbed into the car

On the way through Forks, I noticed a lot of people staring. Two girls who looked about my age pointed, whispering and giggling. I rolled my eyes at them. I have to go to school with those… children. Bella noticeably shrunk down. Embarrassed. She never liked riding in Dad's police car.

We pulled up at the house, and unloaded the car. Dad gave Bella the second bedroom. I got the smallest, but I don't mind. Bella didn't bring much of her stuff. She didn't really have much to begin with. I, however, had brought quite a bit. Mom offered to drive my stuff to Forks, but one of Phil's old colleges was driving past, so he offered. He'd get here later today. I put all of my clothes into the small wardrobe. I rearranged the furniture and made my bed three times, just to pass the time.

After a while, I heard a car horn beep. It was Andre, Phil's college. I stuck my head out the bedroom window and shouted out. "Andre!"

He looked up and laughed, "Hey, kid." I ran down the stairs and out to the front of the house. I smiled in greeting. "So, how you liking Forks?" He asked, mockingly.

I shrugged, "It's not that bad. It's a nice change from the constant heat in Arizona."

He helped me take the boxes up to my room, before turning to me and saying: "Well, I'd better get going if I want to make it to Seattle. Bye, sweetheart." He kissed the top of my head. "Bye Andy." I waved as he drove away. When his car disappeared, I went back to my room to start putting my stuff away. After a few hours, it was done. I was pleased with it. It looked almost exactly like my old room.

A horn beeped outside again. I looked out the window. There was a man about my dad's age in a wheelchair accompanied by a boy around Bella and my age. I went downstairs to greet these people. They were obviously friends of Dad's. Bella was already down there.

"Hey! Haven't you grown up!"

Suddenly, I recognised this old man. "Billy Black. It's been a while." I shook his hand. I looked over to the boy. "So you must be Jacob." He nodded, shyly. "Well, hey. I'm Sydney. Nice to meet you, Jacob." I hadn't ever met Jacob before. Rebecca and Rachel never actually let me. They were too busy using me as a makeup canvas.

Bella greeted them, and Billy made a few comments, which lead to a mock wrestle between himself and my dad. Bella and Jacob started a conversation. And I just stood there. So, since I was being ignored, I figured I climb the truck sitting in my driveway. As I got in the tray, Dad and Billy came back. "So, what do you think?"

"About what?" Bella asked.

Dad slammed a hand down on the side of the tray, "You're homecoming present. Just bought it off Billy here."

Bella looked like she was about to die. In a good way. "Oh my god. This is like, perfect."

Really? Ew.

She ran to the cab and jumped in, but not before hitting Jake with the door. I swear, that girl is going kill someone. And then probably herself. I decided now would be as a good time as any to get off.

She drove away, leaving me with Dad and Billy. "Oh, yeah I didn't want to come, sis. Don't worry about me." I sarcastically called out. Billy and Dad laughed. "If you can hitch a ride to school for the first few weeks, I'll get you a car too, sweetie. Just gimme some time."

I nodded. "You've got yourself a deal, old man."

He raised an eyebrow at me. "Hey, Billy, did you hear that? Syd just called me old man."

Billy nodded. "You've crossed a line, girlie. Just because your parents are old, doesn't mean you can signify their age. No, you must pay." They slowly crept towards me. I backed up, grabbing my jacket and bolted down the street.

I ended up in the forest, wandering. It was beautiful: green, cool, and quiet. I knew there were probably dangerous animals around, but it was too nice. So I stayed. Several times, I tripped on tree roots and rocks. Though I wasn't as bad as my sister, I can be a bit of a klutz. For a moment, I swear I saw a man leap and pounce on a deer, and quick as lighting he was. I figured it must have been my imagination, but decided to head back home. That's when I saw the blood that had dried up, all down my leg. There was a cut running from the bottom of kneecap, halfway down my calf.

Oops.

I quickly made my way down the hospital. I remembered it being just near by, from when Dad walked me there when I was a kid.

Let's just hope they've got better doctors now.
