Fabulous Forks
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight.
"Bella, we're going to miss you so much. It's just not going to be the same without you." Renee and Phil were saying their goodbyes for the final time. I was leaving to live with Charlie, my real father, in a rainy, dreary town called Forks. Besides the fact that I absolutely detested rain, I don't think that I'll ever be able to abide with small town life.
"Hon, have a good time on the flight. Don't forget to call the minute you get to Charlie's and…," she broke off sniffling again. Renee had been crying all morning while her new husband Phil barely seemed to care that I was leaving.
"Mom, I'll be fine. Don't worry. I'm sure I'll be used to the rain by the next time you see me, "I said as I hugged her one last time and boarded the plane.

The flight to Forks from Phoenix wasn't too long, but it was still long enough to leave me feeling jet lagged. For someone as clumsy as me, this could only be a hindrance. I prayed that I wouldn't fall as I stood on my toes to get my carry on bag.
I had just grasped the handle of my bag when another passenger pushed past me causing me to loose my balance and fall backwards. I quickly shut my eyes preparing for impact when two strong arms grasped my waist and pulled me up.
I leaned back, only to find myself against an obviously male chest. I could tell that whomever had caught me was well muscled, as he was wearing only a thin shirt. I suddenly realized that this could be some creep, and forced myself up out of his arms.
When I turned around, my pale chocolate eyes met with the most dazzling pair of emerald eyes that I had ever seen.
My savior had bronze hair on top of his perfect face that held angled features that I had never seen on any living human before. He was breathtaking, and I found myself staring with mouth open wide.
I couldn't help myself from noticing that he was around my age, eighteen tops, and that his clothes were obviously designer.
A small, enchanting chuckle escaped his lips breaking me from my reverie. I looked back up at his eyes and realized that he had noticed my obvious stares. This caused me to blush a deep shade of scarlet.
He held out his hand to me saying, "Are you all right?"
I almost stopped breathing as I took his hand in return and managed to choke out a feeble "Fine," before quickly looking down blushing again.
"Good, you scared me there. I'm Edward Cullen, nice to meet you."
"B…ella…Swan," I informed him.
I thought that had been the end of our conversation and my embarrassment, but boy was I wrong. Edward proceeded to ask me if I needed help getting the rest of my bags. An offer that I was more than glad to refuse until I looked back up into his amazing green eyes. I completely forgot my answer and somehow I croaked out a yes.
Before I knew it, he had my bag slung over his shoulder and his hand about my waist, ready to catch me should I stumble again.
As we made our way off of the plane, many young girls got their first glimpse at the beautiful man next to me and had a similar first reaction to my own. I couldn't help but notice how some even scowled as they notice his arm around my waist, as if I wasn't embarrassed enough.
When we reached the luggage, Edward released me and looked down. "Bella, which bags did you bring?"
Unfortunately for me, I got caught up in his eyes once again and completely lost whatever thought I was about to put into words. "Bella?" His sweet voice broke my chance bringing me back to reality.
"Oh…umm... the red with polka dots." (Picture on Profile) I looked around for the luggage set that Renee had given me as a go away present and found over in a corner. I pointed and began to move towards it when an arm wrapped around my waist.
Edward leaned in and whispered in my ear, "I got it," before hurrying off towards my bags. I shivered as he left. His warm breath had tickled my ear and surprised me. Who was this boy? And why was he being so forward?
He came back with my bags, as well as two others that I assumed were his own.
"So, Bella," he asked as we made our way to the front of the airport where Charlie was supposed to pick me up, "What are flying into Seattle for?"
"Well, I'm moving in with my dad. He lives in Forks." My straightforwardness surprised me as well as delighted Edward. A brilliant crooked smile lit his face.
"Really, and will you be attending the high school?" He snickered as I answered yes.
When we reached the doors, I saw Charlie and the ever embarrassing police cruiser waiting for me.
"Well," I said turning to Edward, "Thanks for catching me, and helping me with my bags."
"No problem, It was my pleasure." Edward still had on that look of self satisfaction, and I couldn't guess why. "Bye Bella, see you on Monday."
"Sure," I said as I turned to walk away. I heard another laugh as I walked towards Charlie. It wasn't long before what Edward had said sunk in.
Maybe I was wrong when I said that dreary old Forks wouldn't be exciting. In fact, I was almost positive that with me seeing Edward Cullen everyday, I would most definitely have quite a bit of entertainment.
Please Review. I really enjoy hearing what you have to say.
