A/N: Hey guys! Its Bella, this is my new story called "A Story Of A Girl" Thanks for taking interest in this story. Please review! I need to know if I should continue. Thanks! Oh, and for readers of my other story "Forever" I am still continuing that story. Okay, here is chapter 1.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything Twilight. I also don't own Myspace, or Taylor Swift, or her magnificent song "Should've Said No."
I looked around my old room, the room that I have had since I was born. I loved this room, it fits me perfectly. It was painted a calming navy blue with sky blue flower accents and everything else in the room was a similar blue. I would definitely miss it.
"Bella! We gotta go if your going to catch your flight! Are you ready?" My mom yelled from downstairs.
"Yeah mom, I'm coming." I replied and picked up my carry on bag, took one more glance around the room I was going to miss so much, and made my way down the stairs. Okay, let me backtrack, my name is Isabella Swan, but I told everyone to call me Bella. I bet your wondering why I'm saying goodbye to my room and getting ready to go to the airport. Well, I'm moving in with my dad Charlie. My dad has always wanted me to come live with him, so one day I just decided that I was going to make a change and move to Forks, Washington. Everyone was surprised with my decision to move to the rainiest place in the continental US considering the fact I hate rain and every other wet weather, but that's me for ya, I never fail to surprise people, or so I've been told.
I got downstairs and without tripping once to my surprise and noticed that my mom had already gone out to the car. I opened the door about to head for the car, but I turned around took one more look at my house. I loved my house, I was very open and inviting. For a moment I wondered why I was doing this. And by this I meant moving to Forks, but then I thought about my dad who every time he called you could hear the longing in his voice for me to come back home to Forks. Yes, Forks is my home. I was born there but moved with my mom to sunny Phoenix, Arizona when I was 4 when my parents separated. I sighed and closed the door behind me.
"Are you ready for this Bella?" My mom asked as I got in the car. She had been asking me that at least 200 times this week. I knew my mom didn't want me to go and was always hoping that I would change my mind but I had to do this. I buckled my seatbelt and replied.
"Yes, mom. I'm sure." She nodded and pulled out of the driveway.
About 20 minutes later I was standing in Phoenix International Airport waiting in line at the ticket counter. My phone kept ringing with all my friends calling to say goodbye. I didn't really have a best friend in Phoenix but I had a group of 5 close friends. Rebekkah, but I called her Bekkah was probably my closest friend out of the whole group. She had long brunette hair and hazel eyes. She was the most outgoing out of all us, and she was the type of girl that could always make you laugh. The other girls in our group were Alana, Alyssa, Heather, and Sophia. It was about to be my turn to get my tickets when my phone rang letting me know I had a text. I dug it out of my bag and slid it open.
From: Bekkah
Received: Today;1:30pm
-------------------------------
Hey B! =) Are you on your
Flight yet?
Luv, Bekk.
-----------------------------------
I smiled and replied to her text.
To: Bekkah
Sent: Today;1:31pm

Hey Bekk! No, not yet
I'm waiting in this long
Ass line. What r u doing?
Luv, Bell.
-----------------------------------
By the time I finished writing the text and threw my phone back in my bag it was my turn. The woman behind the counter smiled as I approached her.
"Good Afternoon, thank you for flying Southwest. Can I have your name please." she asked with a friendly smile.
I returned the smile. "Hi, my reservation is under Isabella Swan." The woman typed something into the computer, I assumed my name and looked back up at me. "Ah, yes I have your ticket right here Miss. Swan, flight 754 to Port Angeles, Washington. Enjoy your flight." she handed me my ticket and called for the next person in line. I nodded my head toward her in thanks and went to find my mother. I think she had mentioned something about going to Starbucks, so that's where I looked first. She was in there at the fixing table adding sugar to her coffee. I walked up to her.
"Hey Mom." I said while looping my arm through hers. She smiled.
"Hey sweetheart. Did you get your ticket?" She lowered her head again and began stirring her coffee once more.
"Yup, and I talked to Bekkah." I replied. My mom loved Bekkah like her own daughter, she always insisted that I hang out with her because she was a "good egg" as she put it.
"Oh really? That's nice, you know she's going to miss you like crazy! You are like a sister to her." she said while putting the lid on her coffee.
"I know mom. I'm going to miss her too, but we will stay in touch. I mean you know we stay on Myspace like crazy people." I chuckled and she joined in. "Ha, yes, you guys are addicted to that website. Well come on Bell we gotta get to the gate, your flight boards in 10 minutes." I nodded and followed her out the door.
After minutes of aimlessly walking trying to find the gate, we finally asked an airport attendant and she told us where we needed to go. I sat in an uncomfortable airport chair waiting for the flight to board. I pulled out my Ipod and turned on "Should've said no" by Taylor Swift. I had downloaded that song after my ex-boyfriend screwed me over by cheating on me. After listening to it that first night after I found out about him, I fell in love with it. I started humming the tune and saw my mom smile toward me. I love to sing, in fact it was my passion and my mom was my biggest fan. She would always beam every time she heard me sing or hum, or even whistle. I looked over at my mom as she looked out of the window. My mom is without a doubt my best friend, even though I had Bekkah and the other girls there just are things I can only talk to my mom about. She was very eccentric and outgoing and loved to do spur of the moment things. Don't get me wrong, she is responsible, she just has a very different ways of viewing things. She is no doubt the person I miss most in Phoenix. I was about to change songs on my Ipod when a voice came over the intercom.
"All passenger of flight 754 to Port Angeles, Washington please report to Gate 6, your flight is now boarding. Thank you." I turned off my Ipod and put it in my bag. I looked at my mother who now had tears in her eyes. I could feel myself tearing up too.
"Bella, I'm going to miss you so much! You be safe out there okay, you know how you are." she chuckled. "Call me as soon as you land. I love you!" She gave the tightest of hugs and kissed my forehead. I smiled through my tears.
"I will. I love you too mom, and don't worry I'll be safe. Take care of yourself and I'll see you soon." I pulled away from her and grabbed my suitcases from off the floor and made my way toward the ticket check. She blew me a kiss, I smiled and caught it and put in my pocket. She laughed and waved one more time while wiping away her tears. I waved back and boarded the plane. I put my bags overhead and settled in my seat. I pulled out my cell and saw that I had another text from Bekkah.

Received: Today;1:45pm

I'll just tell you….TRISTAN!
*squeals!*
-------------------------------------------
I laughed at that, Tristan was my closest guy friend. He's like my brother, and Rebekkah has had a crush on him for as long I can remember. The stewardess came over the intercom saying to turn off electronic devices because we were about to take off.

-B.
---------------------------------------------------------
I shut off my phone and stared out of the window. Boy, would I miss Phoenix and my mom, and my friends. But I knew this is something I should do. I had a good feeling about Forks, that something life changing would happen there. I closed my eyes as the plane accelerated. Goodbye Phoenix, Forks here I come.
REVIEW PLEASE! THANKS!
~Bella.
