Chapter 1- Leaving

(Bella POV)

The day was cloudy and the sky was gray. As I gazed out my window to see the rain starting to lightly drizzle outside. It seemed as if there was a never-ending patch of green for the forest that surrounded the house. Every place that your eyes gazed on there were trees that had patches of green whether it was from the trees or the grass. It just seemed to go on forever of nothing, but green. I gave a big sign and turned away from my window to look at my bedroom.

When I first turned from the window there on the right corner of my room by the wall was my bed. It was a twin size bed because my room was small and I couldn't fit much stuff in it. The small twin sized bed was made up with the purple comforters. All the blankets and pillows were arranged in to a neat pile on my bed.

Next was the old rocking chair that sat in the opposite corner. It brought back old memories of when my mom, Renee, would sit in that chair and rock me to sleep. Those were times when I was younger at around the age of two and three. The chair was a wooden one that would creak whenever you were rocking in it.

As I kept on gazing over I saw my desk that my dad had added for me, as I got older. The desk held an old fashion computer that my dad, Charlie, had put there for the benefit that I would be able to communicate with my mom better. My parents are divorced. So I had went to live with my mother when this had happened. Renee had moved to Phoenix after the divorce.

Just recently she had gotten remarried with Phil. Phil was a minor league coach. So he traveled around away from home a lot. When he went away my mom would miss him. Then on every home game she would spend as much time with him, but when he went away she was always sad. So for that reason this is why I came to live with my dad.

My dad lived in the town named Forks, Washington. The people here know him as the Chief Police. He had never moved from this place once my parents had divorced. A knock sounded on the door and I was pulled from my thoughts.

"Come in." I said as I got up from my chair. It creaked when I got up.

Charlie was standing at the door. He had curly brown hair and he had a smile on his face as he walked in to my room. His attire for the day was his uniform that had on from just coming back from work about fifteen minutes ago.

"Hey dad." I said as he stood in front of me. "

Hey Bella. Are you ready to go?" Charlie asked me. I went to get my purse that as hanging on my bedpost.

"As ready as I will ever be." I told him truthfully while taking one last look at my bedroom.

Charlie moved out the way and let me pass. I walked down the stairs to the first floor. There was the living room with a television and couches. A wall on the side held my pictures from when I was born in the hospital to the last picture that I took form last year. Those pictures should have been taken off the wall, but that never did happen.

At that moment Charlie came down the stairs caring my two suitcases full of clothes. "So let us get this show on the road." Charlie said.

I gave a nod and followed him out the door. Once I got out the door I bent down to get the key that was under the mat and locked the door. When I turned around he was putting my suitcases in to the back truck of his cruiser. I walked off of the front steps and gazed at the house. It was a two-story house that was small and covered in moss.

Then I turned away and got in to the car that my dad had already started. Once inside the car and the doors were shut he pulled away from the house and he was driving down the road. I glanced at the house one last time. As we got farther away from the house, once the house faded in to the distance. I then turned back around.

I was going away for a year. In Forks High school there was a student each year that got to be a foreign exchange student and these were people that had the best of the best grades. So this year I was the one who got picked to be the exchange student. I was going to go to Great Britain and live with this royal family. The family was known as the royal Cullen family. It is said that the family owns the thrown of Great Britain. So they must live a luxurious live. I couldn't wait to go. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to be able to spend time with a royal family. It was so exciting to be going to Great Britain for a year. A whole year. This was going to be an interesting year.

"Bella. You know that you do not have to do this, right?" Charlie asked me.

"Yes dad. I want to do this though. This is a new experience for me and I want to try. I promise that I will come home if I feel like I want to be back." I stated for his benefit.

"I know. I just don't see why you have to go to Great Britain though. You need to take care of yourself and do what the Cullen's tell you to do. You are not in America and they have their own customs of doing things." Charlie told me.

I mentally rolled my eyes before I answered him. "I know dad. I will be on my best behavior. Trust me."

He gave a loud sign. "I know you will. I'm just worried. You won't be here or at your mother's house. This is a completely new experience for you." Charlie stated while letting out another sigh.

"I know what you mean, but I will be fine. I'm a big girl and I can do this." I was telling him this as I stared straight ahead. I was not use to expressing my feelings. This would have to be all thanks to my father. We then sat in silence for the rest of the ride

We arrived at the airport about an hour later. It was now 6:00 and my plane would be leaving at about 7:00. Once we got there, Charlie got my bags an then he got me checked in along with my luggage that I would be bring to England for a whole year. He walked me to the entrance of the boarding sight and this is as far as he could go. He engulfed me in to a big hug.

"Be safe Bella. Take care of yourself and call me when you get there I am going to miss you." Charlie told me in a gruff voice.

"I will. I am going to miss you too dad." I was fighting back the tears that were forming in my eyes.

"Have fun kiddo. Remember to take some pictures for me." Charlie told me.

"I promise I will." I replied.

"Goodbye Bella. See you in a year." Charlie sadly said to me.

"Goodbye dad. Take of yourself." I also said back.

He gave a short laugh. "I can manage on my own. It's you that I'm worried about."

I gave him one last tight squeeze and then he pulled back. I gave him a smile and then walked toward the boarding gate. I turned around and waved at him. He had a smile on his face and waved back. Then I turned around and walked away from my old life and started to get ready for the new one that was sure to come once I got to England.

Once Charlie was out of sight I went and found where my plane was going to be boarding. I was walking until I found the place that said flight 478 for England. It looked like there a bunch of people that were going to England.

So I just sat in an empty seat that I could find in this boarding area. As I looked around there was kids with their parents probably going back home or they were here to visit relatives that they might have there. Then there were other people that were wearing suits. They must have been here on business. I could tell by the way that they were dressed.

"Flight 478 is now boarding to go to England. Please have your ticket out and ready by the time you get to the front." a voice said over the intercom.

People started to get up and form a line. I also got up and was behind a mother with her two kids. From what I could tell one of her kids looked at least six years old. He had straight dirty blond hair. The kid was about the average height for a six year old. He also had a dimple on each side of his cheek and he was skinny. His eyes were also blue.

Her other child was a girl who looked to be no more then four years old. She had curly blond hair that fell to just below her shoulder. She had a big smile on her face and had brown eyes, which you would rarely see on a blonde. She was small and petite in her frame. Though they were both very cute children.

The boy saw me staring and he turned away shy. Then he turned back to look at me again. I gave him a big smile and he gave me one back. Then his mother took him by the hand and led him to the front. They were next to board the plane. The mother and two kids finally got on to the plane, which I then walked up to get ready to board too.

"Hello. Welcome to USA airways. How are you this morning?" the women taking my plane ticket asked me.

"Fine. How are you?" I asked politely.

"Good. Thanks for asking." She looked over my ticket and then ripped the back part off and handed it back to me.

"Here you go and enjoy your flight." She said with a big smile on her face. I took the ticket from her.

"Thank you." I replied as I started to walk towards the entrance to board.

I walked down this tunnel that seemed loud and noisy. Once I got on to the plane. I looked down at my ticket and found my seat. My seat number was forty-five. I went all the way to the near back and found that I had the window seat. I quickly went and sat down. The moment I sat down I buckled myself in.

Then a women and a man came to sit in the seats beside me. The plane got most of its seats filled pretty quickly after that. Before I knew it the plane was taking off and I was leaving my town of Forks and going to a whole new country. I was so excited and I couldn't wait to get there. I knew it was going to be several more hours before I actually got there. So I decided that I would sleep until we got to England. As I closed my eyes I thought of England and drifted off in to a sleep filled with thoughts of my new life and the family that I would be staying with.
