Ok, second chapter is here!! i know its not as long either but im working on it here!!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY TWILIGHT CHARACTERS!

When i awoke, i found that the air hostess was leaning over me. "Arghh!!" I screamed. What the hell was that scary woman doing? "Oh, you're finally awake. Your flight landed about fifteen minutes ago, i have been trying to wake you up since then and. . . ."She trailed off and started ringing her hands nervously.

"Okay," I said, dragging out the word so it felt like an eternity to say. I jumped up and she fell back into the next seat. I pulled down my bags and quickly said thanks to the air hostess as i ran down the aisle and down the steps to where i saw Charlie waiting for me, with his police cruiser. I groaned, he still worked as the police chief? And he just had to bring the cruiser to pick me up. Great.

I mustered up my courage and slowly, cautiously walked over to where he was leaning against the car. "Hi dad, ummm, how are you?" I asked not wanting to be rude, and to make him stop staring at me. "Oh my gosh, Bells," he whispered, pulling me close into him for a hug. As he pulled away from me I stood back, feeling a little uncomfortable. "Oh Bells you look exactly like your mother, with the exception of the hair and eyes of course they are mine, but still."

He laughed a little worried at what i was going to say next. So of course to ease the tension between us, i said, "Come on dad let's get going, you're worrying me a little with all this gushing, you're starting to sound like a girl." Charlie let out a snort of disgust and took my bags and put them in the back. "Come on then get in." I laughed the first real laugh since mum had died, and climbed into the passenger seat of Charlie's old cruiser.

When we finally got home to my old place, i found that it hadn't really changed at all. Charlie showed me to my old room and i was amazed at how changed it was. My old single bed had been traded in for a new double and the chest of drawers that i had had as a little girl had changed into a massive rose wood chest with a matching side desk. I turned around and impulsively hugged Charlie. "Dad! I love this! How long did it take you to change all this around?" I squealed. I never squeal.

"Actually Bells, i had this done about 2 weeks ago. I didn't know that you would be living with me or anything you know since your m-mother passed away. . ." He stopped and took in a deep breath. I realised that dad still had feelings for mum even though they had been apart for eleven years. I felt my eyes fill with tears and turned away before Charlie could see them. If i could remember rightly, he wasn't too good with tears or emotions.

When mum left i remember he just stood at the door, didn't cry, didn't get mad, just kept it all in and when he saw me, i think that it was enough. I was all he needed to get by, knowing that mum was alright and that she was being looked after properly. And it was the same with mum, whenever i came home she used to bombard me with questions about his life, if he was seeing anyone, how he was, etc. Sometimes i just felt like shouting, "WELL HELLO! JUST GET BACK TOGETHER ALREADY!!" But i never did, because I'm the quiet child, always will be i guess.

I sighed loudly and tried to pull myself back together, to be strong for me and Charlie. I turned back around and made myself smile. "So, do you have any food in the house Dad? Or am i going to have to go to the store and get something so that you can eat, unless your cooking skills have improved since the last time i was here," I teased softly, not wanting him to hear the wavering in my voice where i was so close to tears. "Ermm, you're out of luck there I'm afraid. My cooking is still as crap as it has always been." Damn. Out to the store then.

"Ok then dad, I'll go out and get some food, would you like spaghetti bolognaise?" I asked in case he felt like junk instead. "Your mum's recipe?" Dad asked excitedly. "Yup, the one and only!" "OH YES PLEASE! I haven't had that for about a year now," he grinned, rubbed his stomach and licked his lips. I couldn't help but laugh at the ridiculous image. "Ok, well im going out to the shops now, so I'll be home soon," I grabbed my coat and put on some gloves, it was rather chilly outside. "Ok, be home as soon as possible though, I'm hungry!" And that was the last shout i heard as i closed the door behind me.

Shivering as i walked down the street, i looked around. Nothing much had changed, it was the same old Forks. I looked around and found that everything was clear to cross the road. I was halfway over when i heard the screeching of tyres. I turned to the noise and i stood in shock, the car was coming straight towards me and couldn't stop!

I hope this one is better. And i know cliff hanger right? Just as a mention next chapter is going to be a bit of a surprise. Something i think i should have mentioned in the first chapter but it skipped my mind, =D.

Well, PLEASE REVIEW!!!
