Ch.1- Home Sweet Home
BPOV
Mom dropped me off at the airport and hugged me tightly before I left to find my terminal.
"Honey, are you sure you want to do this?" she asked me for the millionth time in the past hour.
"Yes mom, don't worry...I'll be fine" I assured her with a small smile. She looked me in the eyes and instantly saw through my facade. She always teased me for being an open book. She smiled anyways
"Call me when you land" she reluctantly let me go... "Oh and say hi to Charlie for me"
Charlie is my father, also known as Chief Swan to the townspeople of Forks. I gathered my belongings which consisted of two small suitcases. Renee and I had managed to buy myself a new winter wardrobe. My Arizona clothes would be useless against the constant rain and snow in the damp town of Forks. As I began walking towards the security checkpoint I heard Renee calling my name. I turned around and saw my mom running to me.
"Bella" she wrapped her arms around me in a warm, loving embrace "I love you" she whispered before letting me go.
"Love you too mom"
"Have a safe flight!" she called to me as I walked towards the checkpoint.
After saying our final goodbyes I went through security and boarded the plane for the three and a half hour flight to Washington.
While on the plane my mind drifted to thoughts of Meyer Preparatory, the most prestigious in dorm preparatory on the West coast with an unbelievable population of nearly 3,500 students. From what I've heard it's made up of a bunch of snobby, stuck up rich kids. This is where i would be finishing my last two years of high school. I stared out of the window watching as we slowly passed the white blankets of cloud, soon I drifted off into a deep sleep.
"Thank you for flying with American Airlines. We hope to see you again." The voice over the intercom woke me up. "Please keep your seatbelts fastened until the captain has removed the seatbelt warning". "On behalf of the crew and the captain, welcome to Washington" Soon the seatbelt warning light blinked off. Finally...I can stretch!
After loading off of the plane and gathering my luggage from the carousel I made my way to the front of the airport to wait for Charlie. Within minutes the all too familiar black and white cruiser pulled up, and out came Charlie.
"Hey Kiddo!" he greeted me warmly with his famous one armed hug.
"Hey Ch-dad" I smiled
"Here let me get that for you" He reached down for my bags and quickly loaded them into the trunk.
"I was thinking, you can spend the night at home and rest and I'll drive you to school tomorrow so you can get settled in" He turned on the engine and began the drive home.
"Sounds good dad" I stared out of the window as an awkward silence settled. Green, that's all I saw as I continued to stare out the window. For miles all I could see were the big green pine trees.
Soon we were pulling up into the driveway. The house looked the same as I last saw it.
"Hey Bells, why don't you just run upstairs and relax for a bit, dinner will be ready shortly." He began unloading my luggage. Since when does Charlie cook.
"Um…are you sure you don't need help with anything……cooking?" I managed to keep myself from laughing. Last time Charlie attempted cooking...it didn't end too well. Let's just say Charlie isn't exactly the cooking type.
"Hey, your old man's been cooking for himself for the past three years!" he defended himself
"Dad, I don't think delivery pizza and Chinese takeout count" I laughed. I just couldn't help it. He looked at me with a frown
"Alright alright, whatever you say" I sighed and ran eagerly to my room….bad idea…thanks to my clumsiness I had managed to trip not once...not twice but three times. I'm not exactly the most graceful person in the world...and everybody knows it.
My room looked the same as it had three years ago. The scent of pine still lingered in the air from the wooden cabinets. The walls were painted the same light blue as I had left them. Everything was in the same exact spot that I had left it. It was good to be home.
"Bells!" Charlie was yelling from below "Dinner's ready!"
"Coming" I yelled while running down the stairs…once again I tripped, skipping 6 steps in the process…Ouch
For dinner Charlie had made spaghetti and garlic bread. The noodles were way undercooked and the bread was slightly burnt…but I wasn't going to say anything…this was a major accomplishment for Charlie...compared to last time…
After we finished eating diner, and cleaning up the kitchen, Charlie went to go watch some sports game.
"Hey dad I'm going to bed!" I announced walking towards the stairs..
"Wait...aren't you forgetting something?" he asked opening his arms for a hug
"Sorry dad" I walked over to him a gave him a hug
"Go get some sleep, you have a big day tomorrow" he said focusing his attention back to the TV
"Well I'll see you in the morning" I said as I slowly walked up the stairs...after tripping 5 times I finally learned not to run up the stairs.
(NEXT MORNING)
"Bella!!" ... "You better get moving!" I woke to the sounds of Charlie's voice yelling somewhere in the distance.. "Are you even awake yet!!"
"I'm up" I called sitting up in bed…Today should be interesting
After a quick breakfast I raced to my room to change. Since school didn't start till tomorrow the uniforms weren't required today. Thank god! I wasn't exactly looking forward to the whole uniform thing. Today I decided on dark jeans and a simple blue top and my favorite tennis shoes. I pulled my long dark brown hair into a ponytail and stared at the mirror. My skin was the same pale ivory color; you wouldn't think that I was from Arizona, where all the normal girls had flawless, golden tans. I was anything but normal. I was short, coming in at 5'4; rather petite…my skin was abnormally white. My face was plain, and heart shaped. I had boring brown eyes. The worst part was my blush. I examined my self some more in the mirror.
"Come on Bells!" Charlie yelled from downstairs
"I'll be down in a minute!" I replied dabbing on some light, clear lip gloss, and applying a light coat of black mascara. I finished packing the last of my bags and hurried down the stairs…carefully. Charlie quickly loaded them into the back of the oh so embarrassing cruiser...and soon, we were on the way to Meyer Preparatory.
