as i stepped into the bright sunlit sky, i squinted and got slightly teary eyed, not because of the sun, but because i was leaving my mother behind to go live with my father Charlie in Forks, Washington. I really had a great time with my mother, but when she re married i realized she wasnt all the happy staying home with me keeping me company, while her new husband Phil went on buisness trips every where around the world. So, i felt bad, and figured i'd move out for a while, and move in with my lonley dad, Charlie. " Bella honey!" my mom Renee shouted from around front in the driveway. " just a minute mom, i'm coming!" i shouted back. !" i took a look at what i was leaving behind. The many colors of the grainy sand, the greenish- blueish waters of the ocean, i took a deep breath, breathing in the last of the Hawaiian air, " ah i'm gonna miss this part of the world," i said quietley outloud. I then walked off the sand in my back yard, that lead to the beach, to the driveway. "Bella honey, we are going to be late!" Phil shouted to me just as he saw me coming from the side of the house with my cat Cocoa in my hands. He smiled, " know you'll miss her, but she'll be fine sweetie." " yeah, i know, just, im going to miss this place." i said to him calmly while putting her down. " honey, you dont have to leave, i can cancel your flight and expalin to Charlie why you didnt want to leave, really no problem." My mom explained. " no, i'm giong, I dont want to miss out seeign Forks again, and besides i want to see Charlie again." i said to her, while looking into her small, brown eyes that were just glistening with tears. you could tell she was upset i was leaving. " ugh, mom, dont cry, really, i'll be fine." i told her reassuringly. " oh, i know, its just, i'll.. miss you." " aww, me to mom, i'll email you and call every now and then i promise." i told her. " okay." she said noding her head reassuring her self that i'd be fine. " Ready to go girls?" phil asked. "yeah, i'd say we are," said my mom while wiping her eyes. " yep," i said looking at him, he looked impatient. We all got into phil' air conditioned, SUV. " all buckled in?" asked phil, that sounded happy we were on the road now. It was silent the whole car ride, no music, or talking, just the sound of the car tires going over cement. Finally we got to thr airport where it wasnt awkward at all. My mom hugged me tightly, i felt as if the air was being rushed out of my lungs while she did. There were tears in my mother's eyes again. God did i hate it when my mom cried, i thought to myself. I knew me leaving would make her sad, but i knew it ws best for her in a way, another path to make life easier for her and phil. After all i am sixteen, moving in with Charlie can't be that bad... i think. After my mom hugged me Phil shook my hand formally, it was awkward, but the awkwardness was finally over when he took back his hand and stuffed them into his pant pocket. My mom took my face into her hands and looked into my eyes. I Saw tears streaming down her cheeks, this killed me, but i knew me leaving was a goos casue for her and Phil. " I love you, call me when you land and get to Charlie's," she told me sternly in her older woman voice. This made me smile i took one of her hands off my face and held it, " i will mom, i promise, i'll be fine, i love you," i told her looking into her glistening, brown eyes. " okay honey, be safe," Phil finally took her hand and walked off with her in a hurry to pack so he could hit the road with my mom. My mom looked back swiftly and smiled. I walked to my gate and found a seat open next to an old, gray man. He smiled as i sat next to him, well this was the only seat open after all, i thought inside my head.
