Chapter 1
Phone Calls
Bpov
Ring, ring
I groaned in annoyance, Can't anyone leave me in peace? I thought to myself.
Ring, ring
Ughh!! How come mom isn't picking up the phone? I let the phone ring a couple more times before finally getting up and walking out into the hallway to get the phone. I picked up the blue receiver, and heard Mom talking to Charlie, my dad.
"I miss my baby. She just is not herself anymore. I don't think she will ever go back to normal." I heard Mom say to Charlie.
"Renee, I miss both my babies too, but we need to be there for her. Don't worry about Bella, she's a big girl. She can take care of herself. Give her some time to recover." Charlie said.
I remembered that fateful day. Elizabeth, my identical twin sister, and I had gone to the movies.
STOP BELLA! You promised yourself that you wouldn't think about that horrible day ever again! I thought to myself, shaking myself out of that flashback.
I listened in on their conversation for a few more minutes.
"Well, it has been two years already, what more time does she need?" Renee complained.
"Trust me Renee, it's going to take a while, I know what she is going through." Charlie whispered.
There was an awkward silence between them.
"Umm… Renee, I was wondering if you could send Bella here for a while?" Charlie asked after a few minutes.
"Well, you know how she doesn't like the wet and the cold, I don't think she would like to come down there." Renee replied.
"Oh… uhh… okay! Well… umm… I'll talk to you later then…" Charlie stammered.
"Okay." Renee said.
I couldn't believe that Charlie wanted me to live with him. I couldn't believe that mom could say that without even asking me. I rushed over to my bed and laid down, thinking about what I had just overheard.
Ring, ring
Ugh, the stupid phone again. I wonder who it is. I thought to myself.
I crept down the stairs and spotted Renee draped over the living room couch. She had a content smile on her face; I guess that she was talking to Phil, my stepfather. I stood on the staircase and listened in on Renee's side of the conversation.
"Oh honey, I miss you so much!" Renee exclaimed, sounding like she was on the verge of tears.
Phil was away in Louisiana with his baseball team, he had been gone for a month now. I turned around and walked back to my room. I dropped onto my bed and then went through the conversations I had just overheard, first the one with Charlie, then the one with Phil. Then and there I decided that I needed to send myself to Forks to spend a little one on one time with Charlie.
