Hey everyone! So, I'm really excited because this is my second story:) I've been planning on doing one for a while now, but the idea of this story line has come from my best friend Beth-Chelsea (BronzeHairedMystery-Nightmares--awesome story check it out!) So, I've got the story line and it is awesome:D
I will be carrying on with Complete, which I havent updated in ages *tut tut* but the next chapter of that should be up soon.
All the characters in this story are human, no vamps or werewolfes in this one, sorry:) This is a very very short chapter and it was just a tester really to see how many people would read it and like it.
Disclaimer - Obv, the amazing Stephenie Meyer created these awesome characters. But a girl can still dream, can't she?
Hope you enjoy anyways:)
My life was completely simple. Just normal. Nothing ever really happened to me, nothing ever really changed from the plain and basic routine I had been used to for years. Well, that's what I thought up until nearly a year ago now. That was when my routine changed and turned my life upside down. Some of it was for the good, but then other times it was for the bad. This was the year that I found out about a whole lot of stuff. I learnt about my life, about my friends and family, but most importantly, I learnt about myself.
"Mom, I'm not a little baby anymore! I'm 18 for God sake!" I shouted at my very protective mother. Her name was Renee. We both lived in Phoenix, Arizona and she was married to Phil. Phil was my step father, and my real father's name was Charlie and he lived in Forks, Washington. I rarely say my dad, apart from special occasions like birthdays and Christmas. That was what I liked about Charlie; he's never been overly protective of me. My mother was overly protective enough for the both of them, and Phil. It wasn't really a bad thing. It's just, she doesn't understand that I'm not a little girl anymore. The only reason she's acting like this right now is because I leave for Dartmouth College tomorrow. It's a big step, a massive step to take. I mean, moving away from my hometown and going to a place that I've only visited once when I was looking at colleges. It was a new experience for me, and I was very excited to experience it. But, my mother was doing her over protective thing again and was fussing around like a headless chicken.
"Bella, how do you know you haven't forgotten to pack anything? I mean, I'm not going to be just a 10 minute drive away to go and give you something if you needed it, am I?"
"No, you're not going to be a 10 minute drive. But, if I need anything then, I'm pretty sure they have a special thing called a shopping mall, or a supermarket if I need anything. Mom, I'll be fine. Don't worry about me." I smiled a warm smile at her, and she smiled back. I knew she was only being a mother, but she was worrying too much. If I lived with Charlie, then he probably wouldn't really notice I was leaving for College until I asked him to give me a lift to the airport. He was a very, relaxed man. He would never make as much fuss as my mother is.
It took about 2 hours for me to pack all of my clothes that I was taking. It would of taken less time, but my mother was crying every 10 minutes and telling me how one minute she was holding me and singing me to sleep, and now I'm all grown up and heading off to college. I was really going to miss her dearly.
By the time I had finished tidying up my mess and making some food, I was completely exhausted. I collapsed onto my bed and didn't even bother changing into my pyjamas. I managed to kick my shoes off and just climb under my covers, before the darkness invaded my consciousness.
"Have you got your passport Bella?" And for the millionth time I answered, "Yeah, I've still got it Mom." It was 8:30am and me, my mom, my dad and Phil were waiting outside gate 6 which would take me to New Hampshire. My dad actually remembered I was leaving and came up the night before, which I was quite surprised about.
"You'll call when you land" My dad asked as more of a statement rather than a question. I just nodded and he smiled back. My flight was boarding at 8:40am so I had enough time to say my goodbyes without crying myself. I was more upset than I thought I would off been, but it was mixed with excitement and happiness and just plain wonder. This was my next chapter in life, and I didn't know where it was going to take me or what I would face in this chapter, but I knew that it was going to be one hell of a ride.
I was brought out of my thought when I heard the lady on the speaker.
"Attention please, attention. Could all passengers on flight 305 to New Hampshire, please make your way to gate 6. Thank you."
I looked at my mother who had tears already streaming her face. I had tears forming in my eyes as well, so I just quickly started speaking.
"Well, that's my flight. I better be going." I kept looking at my dad and Phil, because if I looked at my Mom, then I would just burst out and cry. I went over and hugged Phil first, and he told me to just enjoy myself and he would see me for Christmas. Okay, that was one down, only two more to go.
"You look after yourself, okay! If you need anything at all, well, you know where I am. I am so proud of you Bells." Oh no! I thought my Mom was going to be the worst person to say goodbye to, but my Dad was right up there with my Mom. I just hugged him and he squeezed me back. When I released him, he quickly whipped a tear that had betrayed him from his cheek. He never liked to show his emotional side. Right, now for the hardest goodbye. My Mom. She could already tell that it was really hard for me to say goodbye. I just hugged and squeezed her so tightly. She did the same. She whispered into my ear,
"You're going to be fine baby. I just know you are. You are such a great person and you are wonderful. Don't ever forget that." I managed to sob out a reply.
"I'm going to miss you Mom."
"I'll miss you too Bella. I love you with my entire heart baby." When she released me, I could see her eyes were red. She sniffled and I whipped my extra tears away. Then I grabbed my two suitcases and walked over to the check in desk. When the woman at the desk talked to me, I just blanked her out and was just staring at my family. My mother was being hugged by Phil, and my father was stood there looking at my Mom and Phil. When I turned my attention back to the check in woman, she smiled at me and signalled for me to go down onto the plane.
And with one last look of my amazing family, I slowly made my way down the tunnel and onto the plane.
Like I said at the beginning, it's a short chapter. More like setting the scene with the basics rather than a full blown chapter.
Anyways....R+R and please tell me what you think. If you have any ideas I would love to hear them.
Thanks guys!
Peace x
