"Mom, we want to go." My older sister Isabella said as we made our way towards the plane. Mom looked at me.
"Bella's right mom. Plus, it would be good for me to get to know Charlie." I said.
Mom sighed, pulling us into a hug.
"Be careful. And make sure you call me once you get to Charlies." She said, letting go.
"We will." Bella said.
"I love you girls." Mom said.
"I love you too mom." Bella replied.
"Love you ." I said.
I then turned my attention to the flight attendent who was smiling at us.
"Okay, just head down through those doors." She said.
Nodding, I made my way down the hall with Bella following behind me.
We were spending the school year and the summer with our father, Charlie Swan. Out of the fifteen years I've been on earth, I've only met the man twice. Renee had left three weeks after I was born, so I never really saw him. Bella on the other had, went to stay with him every summer for ten years.
Once we made it to our seats, I sighed letting my eyes drift out the window as everyone else boarded the plane to Forks, Washington.
"What's arong?" Bella's voice drifted to my ears.
I turned mt head to look at her, her brown eyes staring into my lavender red ones.
I forced a small smile, shaking my head.
"Nothing's wrong."
"Tessa, I know when something is bothering you." She said.
"Bella, I'm fine." I said.
"No, you are not fine. Now tell what's wrong." She said.
I groaned in annoyance not saying anything, just turning my attention back towards the window.
Everyone had boarded now and was preparing to take off.
"So, you're not going to tell me what's bothering you?" She asked.
I groaned as I quickly turned to look at her.
"Would you just back off?" I snapped annoyed.
She flinched at my sudden out burst. I closed my eyes and sighed heavily.
"I'm sorry, I just- "
I sighed.
"I don't know what to do when we get there. You know Charlie and I don't. How am I suppose to get there and call a man who is a stranger to me, dad?" I confessed.
Bella took my hand in hers giving it a gental squeeze.
"You don't have to call him dad just yet. Get to know him first, he'll understand." She said.
I sighed before turning my attention back to the window as the plane took off.
"I hope you're right." I said.
We were now unboarding the plane to Forks, Washington and making our way into the small ariport.
Forks is such a small town that I'm sure everyone here knows everyone.
"Do you remember what he looks like?" Bella asked me.
I shook my head 'no'.
"The last time I saw him, I was six." I said.
She took my hand, and started guiding me through the airport. I never really questioned where we were heading seeing as I have no idea where to go and she does.
We'd been walking throughout the small airport when I heard our names being called.
"Bella! Tessa!"
Bella must have spotted Charlie, because I am being dragged towards a tall, pale man who looked to be in his mid-thirties and had a mustache.
You could honestly tell that he was Bellas father. They has the same skin complexity, same hair color and eyes They were twins, only Bella was the girl version of Charlie.
The only way one would know I was Charlie Swan's daughter would be by our last name and by the fact that we had the same nose, mouth and ears, mine being smaller of course.
"Hey Bella." He said.
Bella dropped my hand, and hugged our father.
"Hey dad. It's good to see you." She said, pulling away.
He smiled.
"It's good to see you to Bells." He said.
He then turned his attention to me.
"Hello, Tessa." He said, holding hand.
I hesitantly took it.
"Hello, Charlie." I said, dropping my hand.
"It's so nice to see you. You've grown." He said.
"Well, that happens after nine years." I said, letting my eyes drift to the floor but not before seeing that my word hurt him.
Like me, he tired not to show it.
I sighed.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that." I said.
He shook his head.
"It's okay." He said.
I shook my head.
"No, it's not. You're still my father regardless of anything. I have to respect you just as you respect me." I said.
A small smile formed on his lips.
"I appreciate that." He said.
I nodded.
Once we had made it to Charlies,Bella took the time to call mom, to tell her that we were safe, before she had a heart attack or sent S.W.A.T. out looking for us.
"Mom said she loves you." Bella said, as I unpacked my things in my room.
I nodded.
"Why don't you come down with me and dad?" She asked.
"Bella, I do-"
"Come on, Tessa. You're not even trying to give him a chance to be a father. It's not his fault you didn't come down every summer with me." She snapped.
I narrowed my brows at her.
"And it's my fault?" I asked in disbelief.
How could she stand there and say that. She knew mom didn't want me on a plane at such a young age. Mom was the reason I didn't have a relationship with our father. I'd always resent her for that.
Bella sighed.
"Tessa, I'm sorry. I didn't mean th-" I held up my hand to stop her.
"No, you're right. I didn't come all the way up here to give him a chance to be a father to me, you're right." I snapped.
"Tessa-"
"Get out!" I snapped.
"I'm sor-"
"Get out of my room Isabella Marie Swan!"
"Now! Get Out!" I snarled at her.
She backed out and I slammed the door in her face.
I groaned in anger as I continued to unpack.
"Tessa, I'm sorry." She yelled through the door.
"Go away, Bella." I snapped.
Once I finished unpacking everything there was a knock at the door.
"Tessa, will you come down for dinner?" Bellas' voice sounded through the door.
I sighed and moved towards the door.
"Tessa, please? I'm sor-" I yanked my door opened.
She gaze up at me.
"I'm sorr-"
"Save it Bella. I'm over it." I said, walking past her and down the stairs.
She rushed after me.
"Tessa, really, I'm sorry about what I said. I wasn't thinking." She said, stopping me in the kitchen.
I sighed and turned to face her.
"Bella, I know. I'm sorry for snapping at you before, I was just upset. I didn't mean to go off in you like that." I said.
She looked at me like I had grown another head.
I gave a fake smile.
"What? I am capable of apologizing when I know I'm wrong." I said.
She smiled and pulled me into a hug.
"I'm sorry too." She said, pulling away.
At the dinner table, Charlie and Isabella talked about old times, while I just sat there, being the odd one out.
Dinner was alright despite the awkwardness between Charlie, but I did find out a few things about him that I never for the chance to find out on my own growing up.
"Good night Dad, good night Tessa." Bella called out.
"Good night Bella, good night Tessa." Charlie called out.
I sighed.
"Good night Bella, good night Charlie." I replied back.
Tomarroww will be our first day of school.
"Oh, you're already dressed." Bella said, sticking her head into my room.
I shook my head .
"Couldn't sleep." I said.
"Are you ok?" She asked me.
"Bella, I'm fine." I said, making my way past her and down stairs.
"Good morning Tessa." Charlie said, looking up from his paper.
"Morning Charlie." I said.
"Ready?" Bella asked. I nodded.
"Yeah, lets go." I said.
The drive to school was peaceful and green. Every where I looked it was green.
"It's a lot of green, isn't it?" Bella asked smiling.
"Yeah." I said.
We then pulled into the parking lot of Forks High School. Bella parked the big orange truck next to a black honda.
"Charlie had our scheduals mailed to us, so we can skip going to the front office." She said.
"So, do you want to walk around?" She asked me.
I shook my head yes.
As Bella and I walk around Forks High, I could feel everyones eyes on us. We were the new kids in Forks, Washington.
"Hey." Some medium height kid with blond hair said, stopping us.
"Hey." Bella replied.
"You must be new here. I'm Mike Newton." He said.
"Isabella Swan, and this is my sister Elizabeth Swan, but you can call me Bella and call her Tessa." She said.
He smiled at me.
"It's nice meet you both, Bella and Tessa," He said.
"It was nice meeting you too Mike." She said.
He then looked at me.
I guess waiting for a response.
I mentally groaned.
"It was nice meeting you Mike." I said.
A wide smiled formned on his lips.
Before he could say anything else the school bell rang.
"I guess I'll see you both later. Bye Bella." He said.
"Bye Mike." She replied.
He then gsanced at me and smiled.
"See you later Tessa." He said.
"Bye Mike." I said, before Bella started pulling me to class.
We had some of the same classes.
I skipped two grades.
"I think Mike likes you." She cooed.
I groaned.
"Did you see how he looked at you? He looked like a lost puppy." She said, smiling.
We then stopped infront of room two thirty-seven.
Government with a Mr. Bailey.
"Ready?" She asked, taking my hand in hers.
I nodded.
She knocked on the door softly.
"Come on in." A loud, male voice called out.
Bella opened the door, all eyes landing on us.
"May I help you two?" The man asked.
Bella made her way towards him, pulling me with her.
"Yes. My name is Isabella Swan, and this is my sister Elizabeth Swan. We just transfered today." She said.
A smiled formed on his lips.
"Oh, you're Cheif Swans girls." He said.
"Yes." Bella said.
"Well, I'm Mr. Bailey. It's a pleasure to finally meet the Swan girls." He said.
"Thank you, sir." She said.
"So, is there another name you like to go by?" He asked.
"I prefer Bella, and you can call her Tessa." She replied.
"Bella, and Tessa it is." He said.
"Um, why don't the two of you have a seat in the two empty chairs next to Jasper Hale. Jasper, will you raise you hand?" He asked.
I saw that the name Jasper Hale belongs to a very pale male, with golden eyes and blond hair.
He looked stiff and in pain.
"Okay." Was all Bella said before dragging me to our new seats. She pushed me into the seat between her and Jasper, who seemed to stiffen even more if possible.
During class, I could see Jaspers hands form into fist on his lap, like something was angering him. He seemed like he was straining himself.
