(((I don't own.)))

Today is my sixteenth birthday.

I am really excited, not your every sweet sixteen excited, but your 'I'm going to be free for two years then become a vampire' most people wouldn't find that exciting, but I do.

I wont have to worry about the fact that I am really clumsy and that my blood smells especially sweet.

All I have to do is move to Forks, Washington for two years were there are now vampires… that we know of.

Heidi is helping me pack, she is sad to see her Barbie go.

I told everyone that they had to ASK me, and I have to say yes, before just showing up at my house. They all agreed, no matter how reluctantly.

"Isabella, your plain will be taking off without you if we don't leave now!" Dad called from the hallway.

"Coming, Dad," I call back. Heidi helps me carry my bags to the car.

"Bye, Barbie, we'll miss you over here," Heidi said.

"I'll miss you, too, Ken," whenever she calls me Barbie I call her Ken, I started that when I was little.

"Sweetheart, we need to get going," Dad called from the driver's seat.

"Dad?"

"Yes?"

"How am I going to get around?"

"Well, either car, bike, new friend, cab, or I send one of the guards. Take your pick."

"Car, please"

"Well then, I think you'll be needing these," Dad pulled out a stack out credit cards an inch thick. They were kept together by a rubber band.

"Dad, what are those for?"

"Food, gas, clothes, books, anything you want. They are yours, under your name and everything. You don't need to ask for anything, and Heidi doesn't have to buy your clothes anymore."

"That wont stop her," I said, and we both crack up. Once we calmed down I asked, "So, I should rent a car when I get there so I can get to the house and car dealership?"

"Yes, but I wish you would let someone go with you, at lest to get you settled."

"I'll be fine, Dad. You don't have to worry so much."

He sighed, "I guess your right, but I'm your dad so it's my right," I laughed with him at that and then he pulled the car over, "We're here."

We got my bag out of the car and walked into the airport. We made jokes until my plain was called.

"Bye, Dad. I'll miss you and my uncles."

"We will all miss you, but you go and have fun," he kissed my forehead and I boarded the plain.

The whole plain ride was spent wondering what Forks will be like. It is suppose to be very rainy, but that doesn't bother me because I am very use to that.

I think that I fell asleep because the next thing I know, the lady that sat beside me was shaking me away.

"What-oh," I blushed, "thanks," I told the lady and grabbed my bag. As I exited the plain, what I was doing hit me hard.

I was going to live on my own, no vampire to hold my hand through every thing. I just hope that high school isn't as boring as I've heard.

I walked over to the car-rental station and got a truck, I don't know what is going to be in the house yet, and I only have directions and a picture. Dad might have put furniture in it, but then again he might not have thought of that. Dad does tend to forget about my human needs when it comes to planning ahead. He always claimed that in the future, I wont be human. It's not like I ever clicked with humans, they are all just immature, even the adults.

Once I got to my house, I knew I was right in getting a truck, there was nothing in there.

I drove to there nearest furniture store, I'll paint it later. I need a bed, couch, dining table, chairs, and lots of other stuff.

When I got there, an all-too-fake teenager came to 'help' me.

"Hello, My name is Lauren, can I help you?"

"Uh, hi, I need to fill me house, my dad forgot that minor detail," I say, I see her eyes light up.

"Oh, you're the new girl that's living on her own!"

"Uh, yeah… I think I will go look now…" I inch away from her.

"Okay, well call me if you need help!" a fake smile was plastered on her face when I turned around, and basically ran away.

Beds. I think I will start will beds. I should probably call Dad now, before he comes here to make sure I'm okay. I take out my cell phone and dial his number.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Dad."

"Isabella, what took you so long the plain ride here, the car ride home, and the car ride to the furniture store."

"OH, I knew I was forgetting something!"

"I figured you would, so no worries."

"Yes, well, in my old age I forget things."

"Dad, your forever twenty-eight. Your mind is not affected by you age. When will you just face the facts, your scatter brained," I joked. We always have this argument. He knows I'm right, he just doesn't want to admit it.

"No, I'm not. I'm old."

"Scatter brained."

"Old."

"Scatter."

"Old."

"Scatter, but before you say old, people are starting too look at me weird, and I need a bed to sleep in tonight."

"He-he, sorry honey," Dad said, sheepishly. We can really get into our 'arguments' and forget almost everything around us.

"I love you, Dad."

"Love you, too. Be good for the Americans."

"Of course I will, bye," I didn't wait for his response, mainly because I knew that as soon as I said bye he hung up, but I also saw the bed a wanted.

"Can I help you, miss?" a women asked, she didn't bother with introductions.

"Yes, I would like to by this bed, but can you deliver it tonight?"

"Why?"

"I need something to sleep on…"

"What ever happened to your old bed?"

"Well, it's in Italy, and it's not coming for a visit anytime soon," I replied.

"Okay, I'll see what I can do, is there anything else I can help you with?"

"Only if you want to help me furnish a whole house…" I trailed off, not thinking she would.

"Do you think you could keep me busy all night?"

"Uhuh…" why would that matter?

"Good, I don't think that he will ask me out if we have an audience," she mumbled. I wouldn't have heard it if I didn't grow up with vampires.

"Okay… so where are the kitchen appliances?"

"This way," she did help me decorate my whole house, basically.

"So, when will I get all off my things?" I asked as we finished up the paper work and stuff.

"You should get them today. The deliverymen will help you set it up how you like it. Now, all you have to do is go home and wait for them."

On the way home, I stopped by Taco Bell to get dinner, and the gas station to fill up and get some cash.

By the time I got home, I didn't have long to wait before the deliverymen got there. We set up the house the way I wanted it, and I tipped them quiet generously on there way out. I know how I can be.

I decided to call Dad again, "Hello?"

"Hey Dad."

"Hey, Isabella, did you get your furnishings?"

"Yep."

"That's good, so are you heading off to bed now?"

"Yes, Daddy," I said in a childish voice, just to make him laugh. My plan worked.

"Silly girl, well good night, and call me when you get home from school tomorrow, I want to hear ALL about it!"

"If you want to know what school is like, then why don't you go back?"

"Because, I don't want to. And I have a teenage daughter to take care of."

"yeah well, I'm going to bed now, night."

"Night," I hung up and went up stairs. There are two bedrooms in this house, and a bathroom right in between them. It was a small house, but that's just the way I like it.
