So my other FF Worlds Collide is going really slow so what do I do? Start another one of course! So this is how I think Twilight would go if Bella was the opposite of what she really is, so now she's confident, outgoing, athletic, and doesn't care what people think about her. Enough said, on to the story! PS-Bella is also very optimistic so she's truly excited about going to Forks!
I bounced excitedly in my seat as the plane neared the little town of Forks, Washington where I was sending myself to live with my dad, Charlie, so that my mom, Renee could travel around with her new husband, Phil. The plane set down with a bump, I grinned, I have always loved flying, especially when we take off, hit turbulence, and land.
After grabbing my bags off the carousal (I love those things!) I looked around for my dad. I saw him standing near the door, and pushed my way through the crowd to get to him.
"Hey dad!" I said giving him a hug.
"Hey Bells its good to see you." He said returning the hug but with less enthusiasm then I had. Charlie wasn't what you would call a verbose, and he isn't very comfortable with emotions. That's perfectly fine with me, although I'm very outgoing and love to talk to people, I am a very solitary person and love to spend time with just a good book or go somewhere where there is no civilization.
Charlie grabbed my suitcase and I slung my backpack over my shoulder and followed him out to the cruiser. To the good people of Forks, Charlie is Police Chief Swan. That's one reason I want to get my own car, I'm not a big fan of being picked up and dropped of at school in a car with red and blue lights on top.
"Bella, Renee told me that you were interested in getting a car," Charlie said, breaking into my thoughts.
"Yeah, I have some money saved up for it. Do you know where I could find a good one?" I asked turning towards him.
"Well do you remember Billy Black from La Push?"
I racked my brain, trying to remember the trips that I had gone on with Charlie down to the little Indian reservation on the coast. "Vaguely," I said seeing Charlie and a tall man with dark hair and copper skin saying something about fish. "Didn't you used to go fishing with him?"
"Yeah, well, he's in a wheelchair now so he offered to sell me his car real cheap."
"Really?" I asked, the sooner I had a car the better, "What kind of car is it? How's the gas mileage? How fast does it go? What color is it? How mu-"
"Whoa slow down Bella," Charlie said with a grin. I clamped my mouth shut, and waited patiently. "it's a truck actually, a Chevy. I'm not to sure about the gas mileage or how fast it goes. It's red and assuming your last question was about the price, I kind of already bought it for you, you know, as a welcome gift." He finished looking at me from the corner of his eye.
"Really! Thanks, that's great dad. But I was going to but it myself so can I pay you back at least half?" I asked.
"Bella you're insulting me, it's a gift." He said looking out the window.
"Well alright, and again thanks, this is really generous of you." I said my mind already floating away to think of what books and CD's I needed now that I had money to spare.
We pulled into the driveway and I saw the truck, it looked really old but sturdy. The kind of car you would see in a movie crash scene with a hunk of metal of a foreign car wrapped around it. I loved it instantly.
"This is awesome dad, thank you." I said getting out of the cruiser to admire my new truck. He smiled and pulled my suitcase out of the trunk, he seemed relieved about something.
"Is there something your not telling me dad?" I asked following him through the door into the hall.
"Oh, it's nothing Bells," he said setting my suitcase in my room, I followed him and stood in the doorway trapping him.
"Dad," I said in a warning tone, "what is it?"
"Alright, alright, its just that I'm glad you didn't ask what year it is…" he said looking at me like I was going to ask now, when I didn't he asked, "don't you want to know what year it is?"
"Well since you haven't told me already, I'm guessing he's pretty old so I don't think I want to know, ignorance is bliss." I said stepping around him to unpack.
"Great then, I'll leave you to settle in, dinner's around six." He said leaving me to my thoughts.
I put my hands on my hips and surveyed my room. It hadn't changed much since I was born. The walls were light blue, with the same yellow curtains, and the old rocking chair in the corner. The only thing that had changed as I was growing up was that Charlie had replaced the crib with a bed and added a desk, which now held a second hand computer so that I could keep in touch with Renee more easily.
I stated rearranging my room mentally. I would need to paint the walls, some different curtains, sell my bed and replace it with a couch, get a coffee table, replace the old pine dresser with an armoire. The hardest thing to get would probably be the custom sized mattress for my closet.
I heard Charlie call me for dinner, and grabbed a notepad and pen to write down what I would need. Dinner was quiet, after I did the dishes and went upstairs to get ready for bed. There was only one small bathroom that Charlie and I had to share; I wasn't too pleased about that. I like having my own things. I scrawled onto the notepad a reminder to look into turning one of the corners into a small bathroom, it would be pricey but when Charlie's mom died, she left all her money to me since she was never very fond of Charlie or Renee, but she absolutely adored me.
After doing my usual bathroom routine, I grabbed my blankets and a few pillows, making a makeshift bed in my closet. I snuggled in and sighed, pure bliss. And tomorrow, school.
