Chapter 2
BPOV
This was it; I was leaving Forks and starting my new life in the Army. I am currently waiting in the airport with Charlie waiting for my plane to arrive. I knew that Charlie was sad to see me leave, but he knew that I needed this change, that I needed to start over. Finally, my plane was called, I turned to Charlie and saw that he was close to tears. I gave him the biggest hug, and we could not stop the tears as they flowed.
"Now don't you cry, baby girl I love you so much", as he wipes away my tears
"I love you, daddy, I will miss you so much to the moon and back" I sobbed
"Baby, I love you too and don't you ever forget that don't cry, be happy this is the new change that you wanted, that you needed. You will be back home before you know it." He said as he wiped away his tears and gave me one last hug. I boarded the plane, looked out the window and saw my dad turn and wave one final goodbye. As the plane took off, I slowly cried myself to sleep.
I hated planes always have, mainly because I hate the landing procedure. It was bumpy, and it made me uneasy. Once we landed, I undid my seatbelt and got off the plane. I was getting my bag when I saw a man in the Army uniform with a sign waiting for the recruits. I grabbed my bag and made my way over to this man. He greeted me with a small smile and exchanged hellos with myself and the others.
We all walked out of the airport as a group. Once we got outside, we all proceeded to get on the big bus that was waiting for us. I sat down next to this girl who looked like my age. She looked like a sweeter version of Rosalie, but she had long fire red hair other than shiny platinum blonde. She had the energy and personality of Alice. I smiled at her; I knew that I had to become friends with her to feel closer to my once vampire family.
"Hi, my name is Bella, short for Isabella, what is your name?"
"Hi, my name is Santana, nice to meet you."
"Why did you join the army?"
"My whole family has been in the military, so I had to continue the family job, what about you?"
I winced, but I decided to tell to tell her anyway "A nasty breakup."
"Oh, I'm sorry I should not have asked."
"No, it is ok I wanted a new start on life."
We chatted the entire rest of the four-hour bus ride. We have similar taste in books, tv shows, and music. We decided that we were going to be military sisters. We were going to have each other's back throughout the entire military process. We knew that it was going to be hard work, but as long as we had each other to keep us grounded, we would survive.
