Tick, tick, tick. I could hear the clock ticking away above the hustle and bustle of the city of Dallas just beyond the walls of the airport. We started following the signs to retrieve Paul's bags and the little bit of luggage I had managed to pack before leaving Sam and the rest of his family in Washington. Just as I found my small, lavender suitcase, I heard my name being called.
"Bella! Over here!". I turned around to see my dad, ever so cheerful, standing about 100 feet away with a bright smile on his face. I hadn't felt that much joy in a long time.
As I approached him, he held his arms wide open and I stepped into his embrace for the first time in three years. Paul walked up behind me just as I was releasing my dad from our hug. He reached around me and shook dad's hand while they shared their pleasantries.
"It's so good to see you again, Paul!" Dad said.
"I'm so glad you've both decided to finally move out of Washington and come to Texas. You can finally see what you've been missing out on." He finished. Dad took a look at my suitcase before taking it out of my hand and carrying it.
"Is this all you brought, Bells?" I nodded. He shared a look with Paul but didn't say anything.
My dad knew what happened over the last two years between Sam and I but he never brought it up and neither did I. I'm so grateful that he moved to Texas three years ago or I probably wouldn't have been lucky enough to get away from Sam when I did. Of course, when Paul took my side on the situation, his parents immediately kicked him out but Sam refused to allow me to leave. His parents took his side and nearly held me hostage.
I found my chance to escape just three days after Paul was kicked out. Sam and his parents were leaving for the evening to go to the Reservation's high school graduation. Of course, I didn't have anything nice enough to wear so they declined the invitation on my behalf. So, as soon as they were gone, I packed a bag and met up with Paul to catch a flight out of Seattle which brings us to where we are now. It's crazy to believe that just yesterday, I was flinching away from Sam and now I never have to deal with him again.
