'Thoughts'

"Speech"

Chapter 1 – Seattle Airport

Isabella (Bella) Swan stood deep in thought as she watched the rain sluice down the windows of Seattle Airport.

'The fight with Renee had not gone well; Renee had never let Bella forget that she was sick, always pushing her on every aspect for managing her illness.'

"As if I could forget." Bella muttered to herself.

The soft chime of her watch alarm interrupted Bella's internal and not so internal musings. She glanced down at the time and silently pulled out her medication and ever present bottle of water.

After taking her medication she sighed and turned away from the window noticing that Charlie was approaching from the reflection.

"Hey Bella." Charlie was uncomfortable as he had heard the argument that precipitated Bella being in Seattle.

"Hey Ch..Dad, Umm thanks for picking me up." Bella said quietly.

"Hmm? No problem, Um how are you feel.. um been?" Charlie stumbled over his words as his mind flashed to the day that Bella had called to have a chat and Renee started to pick at Bella for not taking her medication on time.

Bella looked at Charlie and then answered his original question as they walked out of Seattle Airport to the Police cruiser waiting on the curb.

"I feel okay Dad, I do have an appointment tomorrow with a Dr Cullen at 9am to get my latest test results, prescription and check my T cell levels."

Charlie let out a breath of relief that he hadn't sparked his daughters temper and was happy that she had already made arrangements to have her medical care set up.

Getting into the car Charlie said, "I have stocked the house with everything on the list you sent me and I got a little extra so you don't need to worry. I do have one question why did you need a rubber mattress protector?"

"Sometimes the medication makes me sick so instead of ruining the mattress I have the rubber protector on." Bella said while looking at her lap. Charlie nodded once and the rest of the drive to Forks was done in silence.

Forks - Home of Chief of Police Charlie Swan

Bella looked up at the house that Charlie had pulled up too, it was her early childhood home and hadn't changed since that last summer she had been here. She went inside following Charlie who was attempting to carry her bags to her room, she could hear him muttering something about bricks under his breath.

In her room Bella sped through unpacking thanking the heavens that she had such a simple style of clothing boots, jeans, t-shirts, long sleeve button ups and what looked like tailored leather jackets that she picked up in an op shop.

Charlie ordered pizza and from Bella's quick look around the kitchen she found everything that was on her list including the liquid foods that she sometimes had to have instead of normal food. Thankfully she was able to have the pizza without any trouble.

After dinner Bella went up to bed for the evening claiming that the travelling had worn her out.
