Chapter 1 The Flight BPOV
I was two years old when my parents divorced. The agreement stated that my mom got me for most of the time. My dad got me in the summer, Spring Break, and they alternated Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was really confusing for a two year old to ride on an airplane all by herself just to visit her parents that lived on opposite sides of the country. My mom, Renee, lived in Phoenix, Arizona and then moved to Jacksonville, Florida, and my dad, Charlie, lived in Forks, Washington. My dad and I didn't have the greatest relationship; let's just say that behind his back I call him Charlie, but to his face I call him dad. I love my family, but mostly because I have to.
When my parents both lived in Forks, my best friend was a native boy named Jacob Black. He lived on the reservation called La Push. He would come over when his dad and mine would watch football. We would make mud pies together. But when my mom took me with her to Phoenix, Jacob wouldn't stop crying… and I too couldn't stop crying. Life was so easy then; now everything has to be so complicated.
It has been 13 years since my parent's divorce and I believe that I've grown up. My mom and her new boyfriend are leaving to go "somewhere" and I'm stuck going to stay with Charlie. Ugh! "Okay sweetie, do you think you will be okay going on the plane by yourself?" my mom asked.
"Mom; I'm 15 now. I think I can ride on a plane by myself." I answered back a little snotty.
"Okay honey. Please call me when you have gotten settled. I love you, so much."
"I love you too Mom."
I gave her a huge hug. I knew deep down, I was going to really miss her. I walked through security and looked back at my mom. She had reached into her purse and grabbed one of many tissues. She blotted under her eyes so she wouldn't smear her make-up. Just seeing her tear up really hit me. Who knew when I was going to see my mom? I slowly waved and she did so in return. I continued walking toward Gate C5. I grabbed my suitcase and walked through the gate to board the plane. When I found my seat, there was already someone sitting there. He was very cute; he had almond brown skin with chocolate brown eyes and black hair. He was searching through his green 3rd generation iPod nano. Suddenly he looked up and met my gaze. He smiled and it was like my heart had stopped beating for that moment. "Hello." He said.
His voice was so smooth and delicate that it caught me off guard. "Hhhhi." I stumbled.
"Well let me introduce myself," he said, "I'm Paul."
"I'm Isabella, but I go by Bella for short." I said probably a little too fast for him to understand what I had said.
"It's nice to meet your acquaintance Bella." He said before kissing my hand softly.
My heart was now beating so fast that you could mistake me for a humming bird's wings fluttering in the wind. He reached over to my hand and took my bag from me. He carefully put it up in the storage unit above our seats. "Here, ladies first." He said while motioning me to sit by him.
I slowly moved across him to my seat. When I sat down, he turned to look at me, "So where are you going?"
"Ffforks… I'm visiting my dad…" I stuttered.
"Oh my God! Me too! Except I'm not visiting my dad, I'm visiting an old friend of mine; Jacob Black."
"Wait! I know Jacob… he was my friend when I was 2 or so. Small world."
"Yes. I guess it is."
He turned around to face the slutty looking attendant who was asking if we wanted anything to drink. "I would like some apple juice, and whatever Bella wants." He said then turning his attention to me again.
"I would also like apple juice but no ice." I said trying not to look at the gorgeous man sitting next to me.
"$3.00 please." The attendant said
I reached into my pocket to give my share of the bill, but Paul beat me to it. "Here you go."
"I could've paid for that. You didn't need to pay for both." I babbled
"Don't worry about it."
He smiled at me once again and I could feel the butterflies flying around in my stomach.
We were half way to Seattle when I fell asleep. I was leaning my head on the window when the plane ran into heavy winds. The turbulence shook the plane which made me jolt awake. My eyes were probably the size of golf balls when Paul said, "Are you okay?"
"Mhm." I lied.
"If you want to, you can lean on my shoulder. I am strong enough to keep you from moving around," he said, "we're not complete strangers."
"O…Kay." I slurred.
"I scooted over a little bit and slowly rested my head on his muscular shoulder. He was so warm that I instantly fell asleep.
Suddenly I felt someone nudge me. "Bella… we've landed. It's time to wake up."
I opened my eyes to see Paul's face just inches from mine. I blinked a couple of times to wake myself up. When I sat up and looked around, everyone was reaching up and getting their luggage. Paul stood up and reached for my hand. I slowly grabbed his hand and he swiftly lifted me up. I turned around to grab my purse. When I looked back, Paul already had my bags in the aisle. "Thank you."
"Your welcome." He answered.
"So who's picking you up?" I asked hesitantly.
"Jacob and his dad I think."
"Oh."
After we got the rest of our bags, we headed toward the main part of the airport; Paul was pulling my suitcase and his. Suddenly I saw Charlie. "Bells!" he yelled.
He started walking really fast toward me. When he reached me, he pulled me into a full on hug. It was nice feeling him hug me. When he pulled away he said, "It's so nice to see you."
"It's nice to see you too Ch-Dad." I was so lucky I caught myself before I said Charlie.
"Charlie!"
"Billy Black," Charlie said, "what are you doing here?"
"I had to drive Jacob here to pick up his friend Paul…Hi Paul!"
"Hi Mr. Black."
Suddenly I saw a very tall muscular guy walk up behind Billy and whispered in his ear. "Jacob, you remember Bella right?"
"Bella?" he said staring at me.
