Chapter 1: Phoenix, AZ, 2010

BPOV

I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. I repeated my mantra over and over again in my mind, hoping it would give me strength. God knows I would need it, my task seemed impossible. Hell, I don't know where I got the guts do this, but I'm not complaining.

I slowly walked out my room, dragging one foot in front of the other. I had practiced my speech for what seemed to be a thousand times. I should be able to say it in my sleep, for all the hours it took me to perfect it. Snort. Like I need any help talking in my sleep. Mom reminds me often enough of my shortcomings, in her clueless way. She doesn't mean ti be hurtful, but... well, she is.

I took a deep breath and walked into the living room, standing in front of my mother. I opened my mouth and started to relay my speech, and-

"Honey! You're just in time. Desperate Housewives is just about to start!" Mom was obsessed with that show. Seriously, she even used it as examples for her Life Lessons she would tell me.

I started to chicken out and sit down but I had to do it then. If i didn't, I would loose my nerve. Now or never...

"Mom? I need to talk to you." Well, at least I got started. "Yeah, Bella?" she asked, her tone assuming I came for boy advice. No, thank you. "I. . . I want to live with Dad!" I squeaked out. The hurt look that immediately sprung up on her face almost killed me, but I had to keep going, to explain.

"I mean, you and Phil just got married. I know you two want time to yourselves, you need it." Really, they did. When you can hear your parents getting it on from down the hall, it is time to go. And going far away is what I had in mind. "And, I only have a year left of school. Plus, you're always telling me I need to go out into the world and find myself. well, this is the perfect chance!" My reasons not might be how I actually felt, but they were valid enough.

My speech, like a bandaid, was quick and painful. After Mom had time to calm down, she started the "You can go stay with your Aunt May, who lives an hour away! She'd be glad to have you." speel. After an hour of debate, she finally gave in. Or actually, I didn't give in.

Mom gave me a choking hug and went to call Phil. I went and called my dad, Charlie. To say he was surprised is an understatement, but he took it in stride. He was ecstatic to have me. we hadn't been able to spend much time together over the years, but we were very close. The summers that I spent with Dad were my favorite.
