Chapter One: Welcome Back

My name is Savannah Renee Swan, I ran away from home when I was sixteen to live in New York City, I was tired of living with Charlie- My dad. But now that I am nineteen its time for me to straighten up, I am moving back in with him and getting off the streets.

"What's it like there?" Patience, my best friend since my first day on the streets asked. Usually she isn't the type to ask lots of questions but today is different because it's her first time in a real home since she was twelve.

I can still remember the day I met her, I had just got off the bus and stepped into the streets of New York and I tripped because I didn't see a step. Before I knew it a girl about my age with short brown hair grabbed my arm.

"You must be new here. My name is Patience is a pleasure to meet you so, where you heading all alone?"

I couldn't believe I wasn't here ten minutes and I already made a friend, except she asked where I was heading, which means she thinks I have a destination, or a home or something that I don't have.

"Uh, I don't know and my name is Savannah"

I told her about my home life and how I had to get away, and she told me how when she was younger her father used to beat her and then put her in an orphanage when she was twelve. On her first night there she ran away and since then she was been running around living in squats. (A/N: a squat is a run down building that British runaways make into homes)

"Patience, really you shouldn't worry. If anything you should be worrying of being bored to death there. Forks is one of those really small towns where everyone is in each others business."

Raising an eyebrow at me, "What happens if we don't like it there?"

"We leave" I snorted smiling at her. I couldn't help but feel as if she was my own sister. I wonder how my real sister is. Isabella is only a year younger than me, the same age as Patience.

Just as I was about to fall asleep the flight attendant stated that we were landing.

I looked over to Patience, her hair has grown a lot longer since the first time I met her and she was wearing a cute dress we found at a flea market. And me, I am wearing the only decent pair of jeans and shirt that I own. Both of us are wearing flip flops because that's all we could get and I know its cold in Forks so we will get jobs to get new stuff.

I nudged Patience and we both stood up and walked off the plane.

Charlie was standing outside, he seemed to have gray hair, which I don't remember him having before Bella must have drove him crazy.

I grabbed Patience's hand and together we ran to Charlie- the only reason why she recognized him was because she seen the pictures I had still of him

I gave him a hug, it was awkward and he was stiff.

"Welcome home Anna."
