Chapter One

BPOV

My childhood flashed in front of me as my father, Charlie, sped down the highway towards my new home in the small quaint town of Forks. My parent's had divorced when I was eight and I left my best friend behind to move to Phoenix with my mother, Renee. At the time I was so hurt I shut my father out of my life completely, I had been hurt and lost at the same time.

When Renee remarried, home no longer felt like a home, I felt more like a third wheel. But I guess that was what would happen when you had more of a friendship with your mother instead of the more traditional relationship. Alice and I had managed to keep in touch over the years with letters, but once I turned ten my visits to Forks stopped. There was too much pain and my relationship with Charlie was strained.

"Your hair got longer," Charlie pointed out interrupting me from my inner monologue.

"That usually happens after a while," I whispered not even sending a glance towards him. The silence continued for the next twenty minutes until we finally hit the small town and the 'Welcome to Forks' sign came into view. It still looked exactly as I remembered, the grass was dense and sprinkled with a fresh layer of rain, a few kids raced up the street in their raincoats laughing with each other. Seeing them brought back memories of not only my childhood here but my friends back in Phoenix. I pulled out my phone from my pocket and quickly sent a text to my best friend.

Arrived in Forks safe and sound. Try not to miss me too much. x B

As soon as I hit sent Charlie slowed his speed down even more and pulled into the driveway of my new again home. Aside from the new paint job on the outside everything was the same as I could recall it. I got out of the car and grabbed my bag from the back seat while Charlie got my suitcase from the boot.

My body relaxed at the calmness and the multitude of the scents I could smell radiated over me as I looked around before making my way into the house following my father. My pictures were still lined up along the staircase leading up to the bedrooms and the shared bathroom, at the end of the stairs was a photo taken only a a few months ago of me with Rose. We were stretched out by the water in our bikini's on holidays and it reminded me of the things we had gotten up too bringing a smile to my face.

"Mom sent this to you?" I questioned pointing to the shot. Charlie nodded.

"Yeah, it's a very nice photo of you Bells, you look so happy." He led me to my bedroom at the end of the hall and opened the door. Just like everything else the room had hardly changed. The single bed had been updated for a double bed, purple and black bedsheets and a quilt were spread out.

"Nice sheets, you clearly didn't pick them yourself." I teased, knowing full well that even though my father was smart and the chief of police, he wasn't able to ever know what a teenage girl would like.

"I had some help."

His smile spread across his face when I dropped my bag to the ground and walked around tracing my hands across the desk to the corner. Charlie put my suitcase down by bag and took a seat on the bed.

"Looks Bells, I know you aren't happy to be here. I just want you to know how happy I am to have you back here, even if at the most it's only for two years."

"I'm not disappointed to be here Dad," I admitted, "It's just a lot to take in y'know." He nodded his response to me and I smiled quickly at him. Despite all of our differences Charlie was a great man. He never missed a birthday, very few ballet recitals when I did ballet and any parent teacher interviews he always made sure to fly in for. He was as hands on as he could be considering how far about we were.

"Maybe I'll believe that soon." He got to his feet and walked over to the window cracking it open. "The Cullen's still live next door, I haven't told them you were coming, I thought it would be a good surprise for you to give Alice. You two haven't seen each-other since-"

"I was ten," I cut in quickly. "She will probably kill me if she finds out I was here any longer than ten minutes without showing my face."

Charlie laughed, not a fake laugh but a real hearty laugh. "That is an understatement if I ever knew any. I'd hurry if I was you."

It was weird, even though our letters were still far and few between over the last few years I still felt like the Cullen household was as much my home as my fathers place, or even back in Phoenix. The garden was maintained much better than I remembered, a beautiful spread of lilies ranging in three different colours. The fence around the front of the property had been removed and in its place a set of stairs leading to the top balcony was now visible. The gravel driveway leading to the property was lined with large white rocks to guide you to the stairs.

"Is that Isabella Marie Swan?" a friendly voice called from the top of the balcony, looking up I saw Esme Cullen, my other mother as a child. She smiled broadly and I readied myself to be hugged as she descended the stairs. Right as rain she pulled me in close and wrapped her arms around me, her frame felt smaller than before but that could have been because I was older since I last saw her.

"You have grown up so much," she pulled away looking at me closer running her hands through my hair. "You look just like your mother."

"Thanks Esme, it's so nice to see you after all this time." I whispered politely.

"Alice never said you were coming to visit," she pointed out but I quickly told her that I wanted it to be a surprise. "Oh, she will be surprised. She's actually at work at the moment, here I will give you a lift and we can catch up on the way."

"You don't have too, I don't want to be a bother."

"Nonsense, I was going into town anyway." She led me into the house keeping me in a conversation as she darted around the living room locking the house up and gathering her keys and handbag. I couldn't help but study her face as she drove to the diner in town. She hadn't aged all that much, but there was something I couldn't quite put my finger on as she spoke animatedly about Alice and her older brother Edward.

After about ten minutes we pulled up outside a small diner that looked like a cabin tucked into the trees that surrounded it. The walls were a red timber and there was a sign flashing in the window about the chef specials for the day.

"She just works in there, I have to go do some groceries so whenever you are ready just let me know and I can also take you home." Esme answered with a smile as she pulled me in for another hug. "It was great to see you again Isabella."

"Thanks Esme," I was grateful for her offer to take me home as well, without thinking I hadn't thought to ask Charlie if he was working the night shift or not. We said our goodbyes and I walked into the small diner immediately being bombarded with the smell of coffee and freshly baked bread. A small girl was by the front door holding out a menu.

"Just take a seat and someone will be with you Miss," the small girl answered politely pointing me in the direction of the empty booths. There was about three waitresses manoeuvring their ways around the small store, in and out of the back room while the bells would ring and the constant shrieks of 'Order Up' could be heard. I took a seat on the opposite side of the room carefully browsing the menu as my stomach made it known that it hadn't eaten since earlier that morning.

"Are you ready to order?" a small voice piped up, my head snapped up and I came face to face with my childhood best friend. I smirked at her because she had failed to tell me of the nose piercing she had gotten and her long hair had been cut to her shoulders and was pinned back with a cute yellow clip. "Bella?" Her face pulled into a smile before she finally whispered after a few moments of silence. As quickly as the smile had formed it dropped into a frown and her hands moved to her hips. "Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't Charlie know? Oh, I could kill him for keeping this from me. I'll be back."

She turned and walked off into the kitchen for a few moments before returning without her apron her and fluffing her hair a little into a more casual look and took her seat opposite me. "So spill."

"Great to see you too Alice." I muttered as she glared at me. "I didn't tell you because I wanted it to be a surprise. Well that and I wasn't sure if we were still friends."

"I know our letters are far and few between but things are so busy for both of us Bells," Alice answered as another waitress walked over dropping two coffees and two slices of chocolate mud cake infront of us. She pointed the food and mouthed it was a 'great' cake. "Speaking of which how is Zack?"

"So over man, I caught him with that psycho bitch while at state."

"God, nothing like that ever happens here. Do you remember Mike Newton?" I almost choked on my cake as she mentioned him. Even though the last time I was here when was I was eight it was hard to remember the little boy who went around trying to kiss all the girls in the class. I nodded to her.

"He's still the same, seriously. Only worse!" She sipped her coffee. "So how long are you here for?"

"Graduation?" I asked nervously.

"Shut up!"

"No seriously, Renee got remarried and I'm living with Charlie while they travel for Phil's job."

"Uh Alice?" the familiar voice of the girl I met at the door who handed me the menu interrupted our conversation. "Emily says your break is up."

"Oh shit," Alice muttered getting to her feet again. "When do you start school?"

"I think Charlie finalised the enrolment last week so tomorrow."

"Good, I'll meet you out front at eight tomorrow morning. You can ride with me and Edward to school."
