Ok, guys, here it is. Not much happens in this chapter but please read it anyway. ok so drum roll, please....
"Hey, Dad," I said getting off the plane, forcing a smile. It was freaking freezing out here. I ran over to give Charlie a hug.
"Hey, Bells. Long time, no see," he said, grinning. There was something in his eyes that told me he really missed me. I instantly felt bad. How could I go all those years without even contacting him in any way? He must think I'm horrible, that I'm the most awful daughter ever. Well, I'm gonna make it up to him somehow, someway.
"Dad, I'm sorry," I said, hugging him tighter. Man, I was on the verge of tears already and I've only been here for about three minutes.
"For what, kiddo?" he said, obviously confused. I sighed.
"For... everything. For not being here, for not calling, or even writing. You must hate me." I felt a tear escape my eye and roll down my cheek.
"Now, Bella," he pulled away from me and twisted me so that I was looking straight at him,"I could never hate you, now don't talk like that anymore. Are you crying?" He grinned at me, and I could hear the laughter in his voice.
"Yeah," I playfully punched his arm. "Gosh, Dad, where's your sympathy."
He laughed. "Come on, kiddo. You must be hungry from that long flight." Come to think of it, I was starving! I hadn't eaten in hours! As if on cue, my stomach rumbled.
"I am, and I in the mood for... steak. Mmmm.... nice, big, juicy steak."
"Well, then I see we are on the same page." We bothed laughed and Charlie suggested this nice restaraunt that was right around the corner. I quickly agreed, and soon we were sitting in a booth, getting ready to order.
"Well, we'll both have a steak, medium rare, please," Charlie ordered. "And I'll just have mashed potatos with gravy on the side. What 'bout you, Bells?"
"Um, I guess I'll have the same thing, and a Coke," I said.
"Oh, yeah me too," he said. I couldn't help but notice that he kept eyeing the waitress as she walked off.
"Ew, Dad, that's gross. She's way too young for you," I said, laughing.
"What?" He tried puttng on an innocent look.
"Don't play dumb, I saw you checking her out."
"I honestly have no idea what you're talking about," he said, I guess trying to be convincing, but Charlie was never good at lying. I must of got that from him, because I am most certainly not the best lier in the world. He must have realised I didn't beleive him, so he just gave up and laughed.
"Well, can you blame me, I mean come on, she was gorgeous."
"Um, ok, Dad, whatever," I laughed," but can you please save your pervish goo-goo eyes for when I'm not in the room?" He laughed and playfully threw some bread my way.
Our food arrived 15 minutes later, and we ate mostly in slince except for occassional questions. It was a comfortable silence, though. Usually silences are awkward, but not this one, this one feels just right.
*~*~*
Well, tomarrow I start my first day at Forks Highschool. I was excited because my old best friend, Alice Cullen, goes there, and we have a lot of catching up to do. She used to live with her aunt in Pheonix, but she had to move back with her parents, because her aunt was moving to France. I don't know why Alice didn't go, but I'm glad she didn't. And I get to meet her brothers. I forgot there names but I think they both start with the letter 'E'. Ummm... Edmund and Emrett? It doesn't matter, I'll learn their names soon enough.
*Next Day*
"Bella, get up! You don't want to be late on your first day!" I heard Charlie yelling. I slowly got out of bed, not really wanting to, but knowing I had to. So, I brushed my teeth, brushed my hair, and dressed in the usual T-shirt and jeans.
I looked out my window to see the weather was the usual, wet, but I also noticed an orangish-red, rusty old truck in the driveway.
"Hey, Dad?" I called.
"Yeah, Bells?"
"Who's truck is that in the drive?" I asked him. I heard him chuckle.
"It's yours, Bella, sorta like a welcome home present. I bought it from Billy Black, you remember him?"
"Um, yeah," Noooo. Who the heck was he?
"Yeah, he and his son, Jacob, came by this morning." Jacob!? My ex Jacob? Jacob Black!? The Jacob I told I loved only to be heartbroken and left in the dust? Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the Jacob he's talking about.
"Oh, ok," I said lamely, my good mood suddenly disappearing. Then I thought about Alice, and how I'll get to see her again, and it came back. I smiled to myself.
"So, do you like it?" he asked uncertainly.
"Like it? I love it!" I said excitedly. I think I heard him sigh in releif, but it might just have been the wind.
"Well, kiddo, you better get going," he said.
"Yeah, bye, Dad," I said, giving him a hug.
"Bye, Bells."
Soon I was in my new truck, heading for school. I drove into the parking lot, then looked over my schedule. I had english first period, so I headed for English. Right when I walked in, I immediatly saw a petite girl with spikey black hair talking to some people behind her.
"Alice!" I shrieked. She turned around to see who had called her name. Her face lit up when she saw me.
"Bella!" she shrieked abck. I ran and gave her a big hug. Then I turned to see who she was talking to.
I found myself staring at the undeniably two most gorgeous guys ever.
