Here's chapter 2! Sorry it's so short but please review! :]
Those 2 days passed so slowly, it seemed like Sunday would never come. But I awoke on Sunday morning with a smile on my face.
"Amy, we've got to go! You're plane takes off at 11:00!" Mom called out.
I was out of bed and in the shower before she could ask again. My shower was rushed, and I felt that my hair could have turned out better, but who cared? I was going to Forks today, and that was all that mattered.
I pulled on some jeans and my white shirt made of eyelet lace. My friends had convinced me to buy it so I could be just like Bella. Who ever knew I would actually need it? Like always, I never put any makeup on, and I kept my hair simple. Hanging straight down my shoulders.
When I entered the kitchen, Mom and Dad were waiting. My suitcase was all packed at the bottom of the stairs, and I grabbed my new parka from the hook in the hallway. There. Exactly like Bella.
The drive to the airport was nerve-racking. It was only when we arrived, that I realized I was going to miss my parents. They were spending 4 weeks in Paris, the city of love. So that meant 4 weeks in Forks, but 4 weeks away from them. It was sad and awesome at the same time.
When it was time for me to get on the plane, I hugged both of them for a long time. A few tears escaped but overall, I was ok.
"Have fun in Paris." I said to them. "Fall in love all over again."
Mom laughed and kissed my cheek. "And you have fun in Forks, baby."
"Make sure to keep Uncle Charlie company." Dad advised me. "He's been on his own for a long time."
"What is his job?" I asked, trying to sound casual.
"He's the chief of police." Mom replied. "And a mighty good one at that. He's my brother, you know. He always wanted to be a cop." she laughed.
I was squealing and jumping up and down in my head. Charlie was the chief of police, just like in the book! And better yet, he was my Mom's brother! My friends had always been so jealous that my Mom's last name was Bella's last name. So that meant he was a "Swan"! Gah, could this get any better? Was it actually all real?
"He said he had a surprise for you." Dad hinted, smiling. "I hope you like it."
Ok, it could get better. The truck!
I had to get on the plane then, so I gave them one more hug each, and then I was taking off.
…..
Just like in the book, it took four hours to get to Seattle. Then I got on another plane, and in and hour I was in Port Angeles. It was finally time to meet Charlie.
I stumbled off the plane and a tall man with curly dark brown hair caught and steadied me. Yup, you guessed it. I'm clumsy too.
"It's good to see you, Amy." he said with a smile. "I'm your Uncle Charlie."
I smiled back. "It's nice to meet you."
"How's Emma?" he asked, leading me to his car. I saw the red and blue lights on top before we even got to the parking spot.
"Mom's fine." I replied, getting in the front seat.
Charlie put my suitcase in the trunk and then got in the front. He started up the car and we began the hour long drive to Forks. I expected him to start talking about my new truck, but it was silent. He asked once about the weather and we discussed how wet it was. Then there was silence.
Charlie and I were going to get along just fine.
Once we were in Forks, we drove to a little house that could only be Charlie's. It was white, and shaped like a cube. There could only be two floors. And parked in front was...
"Surprise!" Charlie exclaimed, pointing to the red truck in the driveway. "It's all yours!"
My eyes widened. "Seriously?"
His face fell for a moment, and I realized my proclamation could be taken 2 different ways.
"I love it!" I reassured him. "It's awesome! Thank you so much, Ch- Uncle Charlie."
"Well, now, you're welcome." he said, embarrassed by my thanks, just like in the book.
He got my suitcase from the trunk and we went inside the house. It was pretty basic. A porch, a kitchen to the left and the living room to the right. The stairs were at the far end of the kitchen and living room. (AN: This is how I always see Bella's house when I read the book. :])
"You're room is upstairs, the farthest door." Charlie said.
We walked up the steps and down the small hallway. My door was white, and some paint was falling off in places. I pushed it open.
My computer was sitting on a desk to the right, and my bed was by the window over on the left. An old quilt that could only have been made by my grandmother was placed on top.
"I tried to make it as comfortable as possible for you. I bought some purple curtains. You like purple right?" he asked, looking down at me.
I tried to stifle my laughter as I recited the line from the movie. "Purple's cool. Thanks."
He nodded, stood there for a moment and then sighed. "Well, I'll leave you to get settled." he muttered, and then walked out of the room.
I walked over to the bed and plopped down, tired from this long day. For the first time in a while, I was actually excited to go to school tomorrow. Mom had gotten Uncle Charlie to enroll me at Forks High, just for the month. She didn't want me missing any work.
So could this all be real? It didn't seem so right now. Sure, I had an Uncle Charlie who was the chief of police. But that would mean that Bella would be living here instead of me. It was all just a coincidence, of course. That disappointed me a little, but not enough.
Even though I thought it was just a coincidence, I guessed that the computer would still be terrible. So I pulled out my laptop from my suitcase after putting away all my clothes, and I logged onto instant messenger. Only Liv was on.
AmyBear says: hey Liv!
LivLaughLove says: ahhh! amy! How's Forks?
AmyBear says: omg it's so awesome. And get this, my uncle charlie is the chief of police here.
LivLaughLove says: seriously? Woah maybe he's the charlie from the book... :o
AmyBear says: I doubt it. If he was the charlie from the book, then Bella would be here.
LivLaughLove says: maybe bella just hasn't arrived yet! You should ask charlie if he has a daughter!
AmyBear says: I don't want to get nosy. Maybe i'll ask him after i've been living here for a while.
LivLaughLove says: suit yourself. Have fun at school tomorrow. Wouldn't it be so awesome if you met the cullens?
AmyBear says: again, very funny, olivia.
LivLaughLove says: I know. Like that would ever happen, right? :P
AmyBear says: I should go. It's almost time for supper.
LiveLaughLove says: ok! Luv ya!
I signed off and closed my laptop. A thought had been running through my head ever since Liv had mentioned that maybe it was Charlie from the book.
Maybe I had taken Bella's place. Maybe Bella wasn't coming to Forks, or maybe she didn't exist at all! But that was crazy! Everybody knew that Twilight was a work of fiction. All the characters had been created by Stephenie Meyer.
I went to my suitcase and pulled out the first book. I always packed them wherever I went. I read through everything that had happened. At this moment, Bella should be in the bathroom, talking about how she had no color in Forks. Neither did I, but I wasn't going to complain about it. I wasn't tan or sporty either. Sometimes my friends actually called me "Bella" because I was so much like her.
But I didn't care about how I looked. It was what was on the inside that mattered.
I shut the book, shaking my head. I was going crazy. It wasn't real!
"Amy! The pizza's here!" Charlie called out from downstairs, pulling me out my thoughts.
Oh. So Charlie had ordered pizza for the first day. I was pretty hungry, so it sounded good to me. I ran down the stairs, trying to push Twilight to the back of my head.
Hope you liked it! Again, the chapters will get longer as time goes on. :] Please review!
