Chapter one
(Charlie's P.O.V.)
I was getting off the phone with Billy when I went to get myself a beer. The phone rang again and I went to get it but Bella beat me to it.
"Isabella Swan answering", she said dead-panned.
"Hello Liz. What a surprise. I haven't talked to you in a while... Yes I'm fine and he's right here", Bella answered whatever questions were asked, and handed me the phone, mouthing 'Liz Forbes'. I nodded and took the phone from her.
"Hello Liz, how may I help you?"
"Hi Charlie. Well I was calling you to tell you that we need another co-sheriff in Mystic Falls. Ours was recently injured and can no longer work in the force anymore and no one wants to take the offer. Your sister, Jenna, brought up your name and I decided to give you a call."
"Well, I'll have to talk to Bells about it first and I'll call you back in about let's say an hour tops", I told her. I know Bella would agree because she needed to get away.
"Alright. I'll wait to hear from you again, Charlie. Jenna needs more family anyways", She said hanging up.
I'll admit, I did miss my youngest sister. Her and Miranda left with our dad to Mystic Falls when him and mother got divorce. I haven't seen her since the funeral for Miranda and Grayson. I walked up the stairs to Bella's room to see her going through an e-mail Renee sent her. I knocked on her doorway and she turned to me. I looked at her brown eyes that were the exact replica of mine. And her brown hair that used to be darker. She wasn't the Bella we all once knew. Renee softened her up. She wasn't fierce or humorous anymore. The Cullen's molded her into a more delicate, insecure girl.
"Hey Bells. Liz offered me a job down in Virginia. I wanted to know what you thought about it. I mean we would be with your cousins and Aunt. With Bonnie. And I know you haven't seen Jeremy in a little while. He's taller and grew up and I remember how you always teased him. We'd also be closer to your mom. It's not a really long drive and you can meet up with her. Plus it's not as green and then there's more sun", I pointed out to her. I could see that she had her mind going over everything I said. She looked at her stuff and back at me and I saw the old mischievous spark in her eyes again. My girl was making her way to the surface.
"Well, what about the stuff? We have to take everything across country? That's going to be a long trip." She was smirking. And it was the smirk that I missed so much.
"We could take all our clothes and some other stuff that can get on a plane, like our electronics, such as cell phones, I-pods, and computer's. We'll come back in a week to get the rest and we'll drive back that way we can get what we need. Like new mattresses and frame's. Depending on the house. I can have Liz look around and then we'll buy hat we need for it. I have the money from when Grandpa and Gran passed away. I never touched it and neither did your Aunt's. When Miranda passed away she split that money between me and your Aunt Jenna. And we have extra money that I never touched since I started working. So you could call us rich", I chuckled. I never told Bella that and from her expression she was shocked.
"Well, um, can you call the school and get my transcripts ready. Do you mind if I go shopping for clothes and get my hair redone", she asked me.
"Not at all. I as going to give you this a long time ago but certain things happened last month so I waited", I told her pulling out a silver card.
"Thank you dad. I won't be too long, promise."
And she left. I walked to the phone and called Liz back.
(Isabella's P.O.V.)
When dad told me about the offer, I thought of Elena, and all the good times we had. Jeremy, my short stack that I teased all the time. And Bonnie, who I believed in first and the one who made my day better when I was feeling down. Then I realized that I need to be my old self again. And not the little shy girl my mom and the Cullens made me into. When dad dropped the bomb that we might be rich I was surprised. I knew that Grandpa and Gran were rich, and I knew dad had some of their money but I didn't know he never touched it. So I decided to get my old look back. Before I got in the shower I looked at all the clothes Alice and my mom bought me. There was only one outfit in there that was mine and from my old days. So I grabbed everything I didn't like and put it in a bag that I was going to give to charity when I reached Seattle. I know that these are really nice and expensive clothes, but they weren't my styl so I would give them to people that needed them. I threw that in the back of my truck and went back inside to take a shower.
I thought of everything that happened. About a week ago I was talking to people at school and was starting to come out of my shell. I was thinking about how I used to be: strong, graceful, happy, tough, carefree, and didn't let anyone talk shit. But it all changed when I moved to Forks, and met the Cullens. I lost the rest of what I had left of myself that I saved from Renee and was turned into the little precious, breakable Bella.
When I got out of my shower I looked at my body, and found that I was too skinny. I needed to gain weight as soon as possible. My hair was longer and lighter than I liked it. Well it was time to fix that. I got ready in my outfit that showed who I actually was. Gray jeans, a hot pink long sleeve that was ripped at the hands. Then I put on my Blonde converse. I pulled my hair into a pony tail and went headed out.
After shopping for a whole new wardrobe, for here and Virginia, I headed to a Paul Mitchell hair salon. I walked in and saw a few people waiting but looked like they were waiting for someone and there were some girls that looked like they were waiting for a customer.
"Hey darlin'. How may we help you?"
"I need it cut and dyed", I said grabbing a strand and looking at it disgustedly.
"Well Courtney can take you right now. Court!"
A girl with blue eyes, blonde hair with black underneath came up to the counter.
"Hi, I'm Courtney and I'll be your stylist for today. What's your name sweetheart?"
"Isabella. I would like to have my hair cut to my shoulder blades, bangs, and dyed black", I told her sitting down.
"Alright then. Relax and we'll get you started."
Two hours later, I was walking out the door. My hair was layered and it famed my face. It brought out some of my features such as my eyes, cheekbone, and lips. I walked to my truck and went to get a manicure and pedicure. I got French nails and my toes were painted in the same way with a white flower on the big toe. I was driving with those flimsy flip flops that they give you and I finally arrived home. In the drive way was a Volkswagen Rabbit. Jacob and Billy were here. Dad must have told them the news. I parked the truck and grabbed my bags which were really heavy since they were huge and filled up.
I entered the house and dad was happy as he took in my old appearance, while Jake and Billy were shocked.
"Hey guys. I'll cook dinner after I put these bags in my room. What do you say about enchiladas?"
"S-sounds good to me Bells", Jake stuttered.
"Yeah. Sounds god", Billy repeated.
"Jake close your mouth. It might not me good if you choke on a fly", I told him. He closed it and I headed to my room.
I finished dinner in thirty minuets and and we all watched the rest of the game, and then Jake helped me with the dishes. When we were done he started asking me questions.
"We heard the news. Are you happy to go?"
"I am. It's something new and somewhere to start new. "
"We're going to miss you Bells", Jake said scooping me up in a hug.
"Jake you're warm. Are you okay?"
"Yeah it's nothing."
After they left dad and I started packing somethings we weren't going to use until we got to Mystic Falls. Then we went to bed.
*Next day*
We woke up around five. I got ready for school and I knew everyone at school would be shocked at my new look. I got in the shower and got cleaned up. When it came time to get ready I pulled out my outfit from the closet. Faded black skinny jeans, a long, purple, sleeve, and some purple, gray, white, and black Nike's. I grabbed my keys and jumped in my truck, taking a egg and bacon burrito. I drove around the town knowing this was one of the last times that I would be able to. An hour later I drove up into the parking lot and saw that none of my friends were there yet, so I sat on the hood with my binder. People started showing up and they looked at me like I was new again. I spotted Angela and jumped off my truck and walked to her.
"Hey Ang. What's up?"
"Nothing major. Other than the fact that Ben was chating on me. Your theory was right Bella."
My theory was that Ben was doing something behind Angela's back. He was distant and Angela didn't miss it. She saw he was growing apart from her and growing closer to Tyler and Lauren. Another theory was that he was cheating on Angela with Lauren. It didn't seem possible because she's so ew, and Ben is a comic book worm.
"Who's the bitch?"
"Lauren. I caught them this morning. He didn't pick me up like he said he would so I left to see if something was wrong. His car was in the driveway, but no one else was home. I knocked the on the door and it just opened. I looked downstairs and nothing was out of place. So I went upstairs, and his door was open. I think you get the rest", she said, not really sad about it.
"There's always Eric. He did get real cute over the summer. Try another shot with him. It might work, I know it did for Mike and Jess", I told her enthusiastically.
"Yeah, maybe. So what cause all this", she asked pointing at all of me.
"I'm moving to Virginia in a few days. I needed to get back to who I was before I moved here. Dad got a job offer in Mystic Falls and he took it. His younger sisters lived there, Jenna and Miranda. Aunt Miranda dies about a year ago. So I get a new start and he gets closure", I explained.
The bell rang and we went to class. Before I knew it, it was lunch. Ang and I sat next to each other, while Mike and Jess sat on my other side, and Eric and Tyler sat on the other side of Ang. Lauren sat in Tyler but he pushed her off. and then Ben walked toward our table and took the last seat.
"You've got some nerve", Angela hissed at him.
"Whatever."
"So Swan. I know you're all depressed over Edward but this is pathetic. Are you going emo now or something? Really it's so ugly on you", Lauren said to me.
I looked at her with a deadly glare. She cringed a little then sat up straight.
"Look her slut. You messed with the wrong Bitch. You know why all my friends called me a Crazy Bitch back at home? Because when you piss me off I am crazy. I'm a bitch at heart and no, I'm not emo. I'm not depressed about Dickward either! You're probably wondering where I got this attitude. Well this is how I acted before I moved here. Now listen here whore, shut the fuck up before I make you. And get that dumbass look of your face, oh wait, it's always there", I sneered at her/
Everyone within hearing range looked at me like 'what the fuck? When did Isabella Swan grow some balls?' I got up telling the others that I didn't want to get a disease from her just looking at me. They cracked up and I walked outside trying to get some color while I was still living here. I went back inside , got something to eat and went back out. Classes were soon over and I finally got home. I did what homework I had and then cooked dinner. Charlie came home when I was finishing the pasta sauce.
"I heard about what you said to Lauren Mallory."
"Are you mad? Because you have to remember this is somewhat of the old me."
"I'm not mad but just take it down a notch. Not everyone's used to you Bella", dad answered smiling from around the corner.
"Sure, whatever you say dad", I replied with a smirk.
We finished dinner and then watched some Tosh.0.. After that we went to bed and I dreamed. Not the horrible dream but good ones. All about Mystic Falls. Remembering how it looked from my childhood memories.
A/N: It's something new and something I had in my head. Review please!
