Luckily I don't own Twilight otherwise Bella would have been run over by Emmett's jeep in the first chapter...kidding.

Chapter 1

Mom was still staring at the ring on her finger as she drove and I was getting slightly worried that we might crash soon if she didn't turn her gaze to the road. I was happy for her, I really was…but I just all around wasn't happy if that makes sense. See, I never wanted to leave Port Angeles, it's my home and my life lays there. I guess mom's new life lies in this La Pull place though and whether I like it or not I have to be part of it.

She's been dating Billy for over three months now and last week they decided to get engaged. However them being engaged also means us moving in with him and that is the part I'm not happy about.

"I think you just ran a stop sign," I told her and she immediately looked up, shocked. It had taken her thirteen tries to get her driver's licence and anything that brought up losing it made her instantly panic. I didn't want her to panic, but at least now I had her attention.

"Did I? Did anyone see? Wha-" I cut her off before she could go into hyperventilation.

"Kidding, it's just that rock seems to be blinding you…" We both glanced down at the ring at the same time and she sighed, knowing I was right. The diamond really wasn't big at all, but in my mother's eyes it was probably the size of Mount Everest. Ever since my dad went to prison six years ago she's been edgy, lonely and sultry. And I'll tell you it's not great to have a depressed mother when your going through your adolescent years. Then ever since she met Billy in the elevator at the department store, she's been smiling again. She's been smiling even wider since they started dating and when he asked her to marry him I'm sure her jaw muscles must have been in agony.

"It's not too much is it?" Mom said holding her hand out for me to look, she didn't realize she'd let go of the steering wheel though and I let out a small cry as we swerved and she grabbed for it again instantly, biting her lip.

"Can you just focus on driving, please?" I asked, crossing my arms across my chest and she sighed again.

Route 101 was enclosed in a heavy forest and overhead was a constant grey sky that rain fell from. It was raining heavily now, but that wasn't uncommon for Washington. The trees just blurred together as we passed, we were going to fast for me to try and tell each one apart like I used to when I was little. I'd been on this road a few times when we used to drive to Portland to see my grandparents at Christmas, but they'd moved to Florida last year to join the rest of the nation's elderly. Nana had always had minty breath and a big smile, grandpa had just sat in his arm chair snoring – that was how I remembered my grandparents and knew that was probably how I would be remembered by my grand-kids when I was old and wrinkled too. Sadly I knew this time we weren't going to their old condo in Portland though. We were going to our new home and family on some small reservation in the middle of this god forsaken forest.

I heard a buzzing coming from the dashboard and almost jumped out of my skin, mom just glanced at her cell and then at me, trying to contain her laughter. I'm scared of vibrating phones, it's embarrassing but all around understandable, "Can you answer it for me, hon?" Mom asked me and I complied.

Retrieving her Nokia off the dashboard I pushed down on the answer button and lifted it to my ear to meet her fiance's voice.

"Susie? I thought you'd be driving, let m-" I interrupted quickly, running a hand through my black hair.

"She is driving, this is Mollie." I told him and Billy was quiet for a second whilst I rolled my eyes.

"Oh, hey Moll, I was wondering how much longer you and your mom will be? We can't wait for you to get here," We was him and his son, I wasn't looking forward to having a step-brother and unless he's weird in the head he won't be looking forward to it either. I knew Billy had three kids, two older girls and the forementioned son, none of which I had met before.

I looked to mom and mouthed 'how long'.

"About twenty minutes," She told me and I repeated it to Billy.

"Great, just enough times for us to get up the banner!" I heard some background talking, but my jaw was already slack. There would be a banner? That was crazy, that was overdoing it, that was just...normal Billy.

"Banner...?" I finally choked out and he laughed at my tone, then hung up. I held the receiver to my ear for a few more seconds, just hearing the dialing tone. Mom glanced at me with concerned eyes, but didn't say anything. She'd heard the word banner and was probably trying not to laugh at my expression.

It turned out those twenty minutes passed to fast, faster than the trees had passed, faster than the sign that said 'La Push' had passed. La Push, not La Pull - I'd been wrong. But now I was staring at a small wooden house as mom stopped the car, she smiled triumphantly as the front door to the house opened.
