(Bella's PoV)
"Crystal chandelier hanging over my head
The sweet echo sound of a mansions dread
I don't know whether to go back or to stay
I'm so ashamed right now
My head is pointing down
Hear the voices inside my head right now
they're arguin' they're arguin'
Why is it so complicated
You and I ain't outdated
Colors faded
Leave me standing here irritated
now were far apart separated
Com-pli-cated
Why is it so complicated ?
...complicated...
What do I do?"
"And that was Miss Swanie with "So Complicated", her album comes out later this month.." I turn down the stereo and shake my head. No matter how many times I hear myself on the radio, it is still strange to hear my voice. But here I am, in the car, on my way home back to Forks. I'd been gone for about a year. In that year I had gotten so much done. I had learnt how to play the piano, sing, and started song writing. I never went to college. I moved to a small town in Oregon where Steve, my producer and manager found me singing and working a small music shop.
I'm going back home for my dad's wedding to Sue Clearwater. It was about time too. They'd been dating for about two years. Honestly I am really excited to be going back. There's something eating at me telling me that I'm not going to want to leave. And for the first time in a long time, I'm not anxious about it either.
I look down at my GPS system and I realize that I'm still two hours away from Forks. It's been a long trip. The rehearsal dinner was at 7:00 PM and here it was 4:30... I sigh and pop in my mixed CD of favorites. It begins playing on shuffle and random for awhile. I giggle when one of my child hood favorites starts to play and I sing along.
Well, I'd like to visit the moon
On a rocket ship high in the air
Yes, I'd like to visit the moon
But I don't think I'd like to live there
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I might like it for one afternoon I don't want to live on the moon
I'd like to travel under the sea
I could meet all the fish everywhere
Yes, I'd travel under the sea
But I don't think I'd like to live there
I might stay for a day there if I had my wish
But there's not much to do when your friends are all fish
And an oyster and clam aren't real family
So I don't want to live in the sea
I'd like to visit the jungle, hear the lions roar
Go back in time and meet a dinosaur
There's so many strange places I'd like to be
But none of them permanently
So if I should visit the moon
Well, I'll dance on a moonbeam and then
I will make a wish on a star
And I'll wish I was home once again
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I may go I'll be coming home soon
'Cause I don't want to live on the moon
No, I don't want to live on the moon
I really like Joseph Gordon- Levitt's voice in this song. Right as the song ends I see a sign for the turnoff for Forks. I turn off and I realize that it's now 6:30 so I better give the old man a call. It rings for a minute then I hear a rather gruff voice answer.
Charlie: Bells! How close are ya?
Me: I just got off the turnoff. Should I head to your house or Sue's house?
Charlie: Better go to Sue's. She has your dress for tomorrow and I'm leaving for there anyways.
Me: *laughs* Alright Dad. Oh, and congrats dad. It's about time!
Charlie: *chuckles* I know, I know. You have a dress for tonight kiddo?
Me: *looks down at designer dress and shoes with a sigh* Yes sir I do.
Charlie: Okay then I'll see you there! Love ya Kid!
Me: Love ya too Charlie.
I toss my phone into my purse as I pull into the La Push Reservation. It takes no time at all until I'm in Sue's driveway. As I'm getting out I hear three girlish screams erupt from Sue's door way. I smile and laugh as I see Leah, Kim, and a very pregnant Emily coming towards me. Suddenly I'm engulfed in a huge woman hug.
"It's about time you come home! You look beautiful! And heels! My, my Who is Miss Bella trying to impress?" Leah says winking and squeezing me to death. I smile and shake my head. "Not trying to impress anyone. I'm used to walking in heels now, concerts will do that to ya. And Emily oh my goodness! Look at you! You're glowing!" I say hugging a very waddley Emily who immediately starts to cry. Kim laughs and hugs me the tightest. Out of all the girls, Kim was my very best friend. When all of that bull crap happened, she was the one I went to. And after He left, her and Jared were my rocks. Yeah, Jake was there, but he just couldn't get it through his head that I wasn't interested in him like that. And Kim, and consequently Jared by association, were my rocks.
"I've missed you like crazy Bells. We've missed you! Come in and see Sue!" Kim says hugging me and putting her arm around my shoulders. I squeeze her back. We all walk (or in Emily's case waddle) into the small house where Sue was still getting ready.
She turns around to look at me and a huge smile breaks out on her face.
"Bella! You're here! I was worried about traffic and if you'd be able to make it! Now the whole family is together!" She sniffed with tears in her eyes. I give her the tightest hug I can manage and ask her, "You ready to go pretend for tomorrow?" She laughs and at that moment Sam comes into the house and says, "Time to go or we'll be late!" Then he notices that I'm home and smiles. I smile back as I help Emily down the stairs into Sam's minivan. I climb in the back and Kim and Sue right behind me. Once we're all in we head towards the Council building where the wedding would be held tomorrow. As soon as Sam parks, he hurries to get the door for Emily as the rest of us scramble out. No sooner had I helped Sue and Kim get out safely, did Charlie and the rest of the boys pulled in as well. I laugh as I see the Pack for the first time in two years. Suddenly, a tall dark figure approaches me, picks me up and spins me. I realize it's Jacob and I start laughing.
"Put me down this instant Jacob William Black!" I squeal as he spins me around and around. Finally after a few spins he puts me down and I fall right into the arms of someone. Without making eye contact, I mumble a thank you begin to stand on my own two feet again. When I look up into the face of the person who caught me, my breath hitches. My soul feels like it is going to explode from happiness. I am weightless for a brief moment and all of a sudden it's this pair of eyes holding me to the Earth. I can feel the two Packs looking in our direction and gasp.
...Holy Shit...
I was just imprinted on by none other than Paul Lahote.
