Chapter 1: Change

There are times in everyone's life where change is inevitable, it's like breathing, it's a necessary part of survival. So in order to survive ; I chose change. That change included the tedious move from Phoenix, Arizona to Forks, Washington. I was going to live with Charlie Swan, my father and Chief of Police. My mother Reneé and I moved to Phoenix after the divorce, but she was now newly married and traveling with her husband Phil. Reneé and I had an odd relationship, I was more like her mother than she was mine. Phil did wonders for her, he was there to take care of her. Moving with Charlie wouldn't be so bad, I would get that fresh start I was begging for. I was begging to get away since that fateful day last year, that day that will stick with me until the grave. I figured that new surroundings would help me to block it out and lessen the pain. I was dead betting that this be the case.

When I arrived in Forks via Charlie's cruiser, I was greeted by gray skies and a light drizzle. So far this place was living up to my expectations. Charlie and I barely said anything to one another the whole trip from Port Angeles, he was a man of few words. I must have picked that up from him. When we arrived at the house, Charlie helped me inside and up to my room. I was taken by surprise as I walked in. There was a fresh coat of white paint on the walls, a desk in the corner with an old computer on top, and the twin bed had been replaced with a full, and it was laden in a sea of blue bedding. Blue was my favorite color.

"I talked to your mom and asked her what you liked, she didn't tell me much except that you liked blue. I painted the walls white, so you can do whatever you want with them, and of course I got you a computer because your mom said it was a requirement."

That was the most he had said since I got here. "Thanks Dad" I replied while giving him an awkward hug.

He quickly pulled away "I'll leave you to settle in, holler if you need anything"

With that he walked out into the hall, that was the good thing about Charlie, he didn't linger. I then started to unpack, glad that my room didn't look like 7 year old Bella still lived here. I stopped coming here a few years ago, when I couldn't take the dreary summers anymore. Charlie and I started vacationing in California; even then I think this room had a spice girl poster or two.

When I got done unpacking I went downstairs to discover pizza out on the dining table. When the smell hit my nose, I realized how hungry I was. I also made a mental note to start cooking for Charlie, I was sure he was surviving on TV dinners and diner cuisine.

"Thanks Dad, I'm starved" I said as I sat down at the table.

"No problem Bells" he replied stuffing a slice into his mouth.

"You know I can cook, you can't survive on pizza all the time."

"I manage" he said going slightly pink.

"I know, but I don't want my cooking skills to go to waste" I must say I am a good cook, one of the only things I'm good at.

"Ok, oh by the way I enrolled you in school, the new semester starts on Monday, it will give you the next few days to settle in."

"Thanks." It was now Thursday, so that gave me 3 days to prepare, I wish I had the money for a car, my scant savings from my job back home wasn't going to get me anywhere. I had a feeling there were going to be many mornings of me showing up at school soaked to the core from walking all the way, I didn't want to suffer through a ride in the cruiser. The rest of the evening went by without incident, and that night I settled into a dreamless sleep.


I spent the next couple of days trying to settle in and get to know the terrain. I went grocery shopping, and arranged my room around, and I even attempted to see if there was anything good at the library, I was thoroughly disappointed. As I was driving around later I spotted a little used book store and in the window was a "Help Wanted" sign. Back in Phoenix I had worked at Barnes and Noble, and now I was jobless so I decided to give it a shot. I walked into the shop, and was met by the overwhelming smell of aging paper and dust. I didn't spot the shop keeper, so I decided to look around. There were a lot of books crammed into this tiny space, I think Forks had redeemed itself for it's pathetic library. I was thumbing through a copy of Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice when I was interrupted by a musical voice. "Hello, Welcome to Tom's Book Nook may I help you with anything?

When I looked up I was staring into the eyes of the most beautiful person I had ever seen, ever.
