Chapter 1

Bella's POV

Forks Washington, population 3,532. this is where my mother shipped me. My name is Isabella Marie Swan, but I go by Bella. My mother is Renée Dwyer. She just got married to Phil Dwyer. He's good for my mom, he got her clean and sober and happy. However, I didn't fit into their life any longer, hence why I'm being shipped to my father's house in cold dreary Forks.

My father has never been a big part of my life. My mother left him when I was a year old and never looked back. I rarely saw him, and he never contacted me. I still hold some resentment towards him for that. He never came to see me and I never got a birthday card. I'm seventeen years old, and the last time I saw my father was ten years ago. To say I was nervous was an understatement.

He picked me up at the airport in Seattle, and our father daughter reunion was every bit as awkward as I'd expected. The drive from Seattle to Forks was a long, silent four hours. I was just eager to get home, and take a shower.

Charlie's house was a cozy looking two-story home, with woods in the background. Never in my life had I seen this much greenery. I noticed a beast of a truck sitting in his driveway, but I shrugged it off. Charlie being the Chief of Police here in forks could meant he could afford to have a second car.

Charlie showed me into my room and I was thrilled to see that it was spacious and it had a computer. The room was decorated in soft lavender, and was actually quite beautiful. I could easily make myself at home here.

Charlie knocked on my door frame and I turned to him.

"I love my room dad, thank you so much."

"Oh don't even mention it Bella, I thought purple would work for you, but if not we can change it."

"No, I like it, I really do." I smile widely at him then went back to unpacking my things.

"So, Bella I made you a set of keys to the house, and here's the keys to that truck sitting out there too." he smiles as he hands me the keys.

"Char- I mean dad, you don't have to give me your truck."

"I bought it for you Bells." he smiles sheepishly as he says this.

"Dad I don't know how to thank you for this, it means so much to me!" I run to my dad and hug him tight.

Charlie is shocked for a moment then he hugs me back.

"so, do you feel up to going to a bonfire down on the res? my friends would love to meet you."

Charlie was looking at me with such hope that I couldn't refuse.

"okay, but I'm driving!"

as me and Charlie walked towards the fire lit on the beach I froze. A young teenage boy who looked to be around 15 was walking up, but what struck me was his striking resemblance to a man my mother used to date.I took a deep breath and followed my dad.

'come on Bella, don't breakdown here, you know it's not really him' I tell myself.

I'm snapped out of my daze by my father calling my name.

"Bella, I'd like for you to meet my best friend, Billy, and this is his son, Jacob."

"Hi it's nice to finally meet you Bella, your father was so over joyed to hear you were moving back." billy was a weathered looking Indian man in a wheelchair but he had a friendly smile.

"It's nice to meet you too Billy, I'm happy to be here, i needed more time with my father."

"Jacob here is the one who fixed up that truck for you bells." Charlie says as Jacob holds his hand out to me.

I shake his hand and get a chill at his touch. I should not feel this afraid of a stranger! He is a kid for Christs sake.

"Hi Bella." Jacob says with a grin that makes my fear peak.

thankfully we didn't stay long because I needed to get ready for my first day at forks high. I am so not looking forward to being the new girl.
God help me.
