A New Beginning. Chapter one:
Return me to salvation
My wounds cry for the grave
My soul cries for deliverance
Will I be denied Christ?

-Evanescence, TourniquetThat has nothing to do with this chapter, its just a good song, search it up!
"Bells!" I heard my dad call from downstairs, "get up honey, you don't want to miss your flight!"
If I get to sleep for a little bit longer I do." I muttered, not loud enough for him to hear. I looked at the clock. 4:15am.. Great.. "I'll be up in a minute," I called out, to him this time instead of myself.
Today was my last day at rainy Forks, and I cant really say that I'm disappointed to be leaving. I've lived here my whole life, and well, Forks isn't really my kind of place. Its rainy. Hardly ever gets any sun. And its so small, nothing happens. I don't have any friends here anyways, everyone kind of thinks of me as the weird emo kid who never smiles. It's not that I don't want to smile it's just that.. I don't really have a reason too. My parents split before I was born and now hate each other and I have no friends at all. I did once, Jake. He left me without a good bye almost 3 years ago (A/N: She's 18 now.) and I haven't heard from him since.
He was my only friend, my best friend ever since we were little, I've never been closer to anybody then I am to him. So that's another reason why I don't smile. There are more but I think you get the point. I just don't have reasons to be happy.
As I was thinking this I realised that there was a tear running down my cheek so I wiped it away automatically. I don't like crying, it's a sign of weakness, and I need to be strong.
I got up out of bed and the room started spinning because I got up to fast. I steadied myself and then went over to my dresser and got my brush and started to tame the multi coloured mess called my hair. I died it black soon after Jake left and decided I liked it, then I started adding different colours to it, purple, pink, blue, etc. It was a group of colours and I loved it. It suited me so well. It was fun. No one (minus Jake) ever really knew that though, because even before I was scene no one really liked me. I was used to it, so I didn't really think much of it.
When I was finally done with my hair I went over to my makeup bag. Well the three of them. What can I say? I'm a makeup junkie. First I pulled out my foundation to put on my porcelain-like skin, though I don't use much of that. Then blush, followed my lipstick, grey eye shadow and mascara. Finally I pulled put my eyeliner. I use more of that then any other makeup. I had multiple colours but today I decided to put on some oh-so-original black. After I had a shit load of that on I was done with makeup.
I walked to the other side of my too small bedroom and looked into the closet, pulled out a black short skirt with neon yellow leggings to go along, and a surprisingly not see through white tank top to finish it off (I have a unique sence of style.) I went back to my dresser and got out all my jewellery then put the majority of it on.
Done, and I look half decent. Win.
I grabbed two of my bags and dragged them down downstairs by the door. I'm going to college in California, it was an arts college, but it had more then just the arts, they had too many different subjects to degree in I don't even know half of them. It was called Arts College of California (ACC,) original right? But since I'm off too college, I have quite a few bags. I don't really mind shopping but I'd rather be doing something else, but a girl needs her clothes.. And makeup and jewellery.
I ran back up the stairs two more times and then I had all my bags. I went into the kitchen too the smell of bacon and eggs. "Smells good, dad," I grinned then replied, "Thanks Bells."
He went over to the cupboard and got out two plates and two brought mine over and I instantly dug in. I finished soon after so I put my dishes in the sink and started to wash them."Ready to leave?" Charlie asked.
"Yeah." I gave a small smile then went to get my coat and shoes on. I looked out the window and saw the usual rain falling from the sky. "Of course," I muttered to myself. I hope my flight doesn't get cancelled .. This was kind of going to be my new beginning, I'm still going to dress and act the same, but maybe I'll get the chance to meet some new people, make friends. Id kill for that, because I need someone to talk to, someone to laugh with, someone to hang out with when I got bored… and someone to love.
I got in the police cruiser after all my bags were in the trunk and looked out the window for the half an hour ride to the air port. It was quiet, Charlie doesn't talk much and I get that from him, so we were silent the whole way there.
I was all checked through and my bags were ready I was about to get on the plane when Charlie spoke for the first time, "Bye Bells, I'm going to miss you around the house. And your cooking." Then he gave me a hug.
"I'm gonna miss you too, Dad," I replied.
"Be safe, Ok?" His eyes were starting to fill with tears and his voice was cracking. I felt so bad leaving him.
"I will Dad, promise," then my flight was called and I left to get on the plane. I waved once and then he was out of sight.
I went to my seat and waited for everyone else to get on the plane. I felt someone kick the back of my chair so I turned around and saw a little kid, about 9, behind me. Oh this is not going to be fun. I turned back in my seat only to feel another kick. I didn't want to freak the kid out by yelling at him so I stayed quiet.
A couple minutes later someone came to sit next to me, I looked up and saw a huge man there that was sweating like a pig who looked to be in about his late 30's. This was not going to be a fun ride…
Hope you enjoyed that chapter, it wasn't the best, but I had to start the story off somewhere right? I had fun writing it though :D Just to let you know, there is a reason I mentioned Jake so much, I think.. I don't really know where I'm going with this story yet but I'm pretty sure Jake's gonna be brought up quite a bit, but no that does not necessarily mean that he's coming back. Sooo yeah. :P First chapter of my first fanfic is done :D Please review because I really want to know what you thought, even if you didn't like it, because I will take what you said into thought if its something to improve my writin or the story. Thanks! Xx
Show me the love and or hate in reviews?
