Isabel's POV
My alarm clock was screeching. Wake up, Is! Wake up! The clock taunted me. I threw my head back, not wanting to wake up. Morning came all too quickly for me, every morning.
"Isabel, get up now! Your dad is going to be here in an hour!" It was Mom. She and Dad had been divorced since I was two years old. I had always lived with Rachel, my mom, and spent the summers with Charlie, my father. I was pretty much okay with that, because it was all I had ever known. But my dad lived in my personal heaven, so I had begged my mom to let me move with him, permanently. Mom hadn't warmed up to the idea until the very last minute. She didn't understand why I wanted to move to Forks, Washington. All it did was rain, unlike sunny Miami, where I currently resided. I answered with one word. Twilight. I had gotten the book for my 17th birthday. I was hooked now. I had posters of Edward on my walls. I had the books encased on shelves. And, lucky me, I had a name so similar to Bella's.
I clambered out of bed, and pulled on my robe. I then stumbled down the stairs. I sat on the counter, picking at my pancakes. I was getting excited, and I was too so to eat.
"Is, Charlie won't mind if you don't want to go. You can stay here still!" Mom was sad to see me leaving. She had no Phil Dwyer, like she did in the Twilight Saga. But she was loving, erratic, and hare-brained. I would miss her, just like I would miss the sunshine. But there was so much for me in Forks. I had my chance to explore the town. The town where Edward Cullen once dwelled. I smiled, and sighed.
"Mom, I'm really going to miss you, but you know how much I want to go!" I felt bad, but I was still a kid. She had plenty of time to spend with me. I ran upstairs and got dressed. I washed my hair, dried it, and tossed it up in a bun. I grabbed my suitcases and backpacks (there were many) and brought them downstairs, awaiting my father's arrival.
Rachel and I conversed, small talk really, a little bit. I didn't have much to say, nor did she. My patience was wearing out. How slowly could this hour pass? You don't know how slowly! A voice in my mind mocked. I sighed. But my sadness wore off as soon as it came; because not a minute later did my father ring the doorbell.
"He's here, Mom! He's here!" I was jumping up and down, trying to control myself enough to walk to the door. Fail. My mom answered the door, smiling at Charlie.
"Hello, Charlie."
"Rachel," my dad nodded. And then he turned to me, "How's my Izzy?" I smiled and ran into his arms. He was quite the opposite of Charlie in the Twilight Saga. He was very straightforward with emotions toward acquaintances. I hugged my dad tightly.
"I'm great Daddy! I love you! Let's go!" I released him from our hug, and tugged at his arm. So anxious. I threw my luggage into my father's hands. I knew it was too much for him to hold, so I wasn't surprised when it all fell out, but I didn't care. I turned to my mother.
"Bye, mom! I'm really going to miss you! I'll call you and e-mail you so much, you'll think I'm just at a sleepover with Jenny next door. Okay?" I gave her a kiss and hugged her tightly. My mom was a best friend to me in so many ways; it would be hard to lose that.
"I love you, baby girl! I'll miss you too!" After a minute or so, I let go of my mother, smiled, and then I made my way with Charlie to his car.

It was raining when we got to the Seattle Airport. I was overly excited. I saw the sign that read Welcome to Forks, Washington. I was jumping in my seat. Lightning flashed around the car the minute we passed the sign. I didn't really see it as an omen, though. Just unavoidable. I was officially in Forks. I didn't know that that lightning would change everything.

"Well, Bells, we're here." Weird, I thought. He never calls me Bells. I'm Izzy or Is. Whatever.
"Yay! I'm so excited." I smiled ear to ear. Charlie gave me a strange look.
"What? Bella, I thought you didn't even want to come here! I'm happy, don't get me wrong. But I thought you'd rather be with Renee." It took me a minute to process what my father had said. Renee? I had spoken my thought aloud.
"Yes, Renee. Your mother?" He seemed concerned. I was concerned too. I tried to change the subject.
"Yeah, I guess, but I like Forks. So, um, any interesting cases at work lately?" Charlie was a lawyer. His response scared me even more.
"Not really. I pulled a guy over for speeding yesterday." My face when blank. I looked at the car. It was a police cruiser. Oh my God! This is not happening.
"Dad, um…are you a police officer?"
"Of course, Bella! Chief Swan!"
"And who am I?"
"Isabella Marie Swan! What's wrong, Bell? You seem off."
"It's…nothing."
I'm Bella Swan. Oh my GOD!
