The sun was starting to set and beautiful colors of pink, orange, blue and purple laid across the sky on a rare sunny day here in Forks, Washington it's not often when the sun comes out so Bella tries to make use of the sun by leaving the house and going for long walks that benefited her more than she knew.

But before she knew it the time had went by so fast.

She now had so little time to make it home, and wanted to enjoy the last of this beautiful day, but if she didn't start making her way home now, It would be late and she would have a price to pay.

She couldn't really call home, home, it's a natural response to call the house your living in, but to her it was only a two story house with bad memories accompanied by horrible person, which would be her father Charlie Swan the chief of police, he may be her father but she could never consider him as such since the day he first hit her.

She made it back just in time before he was there, so starting on supper, which was fish that he caught each weekend with some of his friends on the Reservation. She had just finished supper when she had heard Charlie pull into the drive way so set a plate on the table and made her way up top to her room for the night and for not to be in his way.

This was the normal routine for her every night and days; she also planned to keep it that way so he wouldn't have an excuse to beat her on regular occurrence like he usually does. He didn't want to see her ugly face as which he quoted to her one day, and she then kept it that way.

Bella was far from ugly, she looked so much like her mother when she was alive and he knew it which made him hate her even more than before.

She couldn't wait to leave this place of a town and couldn't really call Forks a town, from the size of it, she had just graduated from high school and was almost ready to move out and be free from Charlie and never have any contact with him ever again.

She also never made plans to go to college because she didn't have enough money to even consider that so with the part time jobs where she worked during her high school years she would use that money for a place to stay and find some kind of decent job to save up till she could go to college.

She didn't want to pay back loans after college so the thought of this, which was a better plan and with the degree that she wanted was only a four year degree and she could easily get that degree in two years at the shortest.

Charlie had figured out her plan one night, she finally cracked and told him. He wasn't too happy about it. But she was 18 now and he couldn't do anything and he knew it, he was a cop and since so he had to pretend he wished the best for his daughter in front of the town, so he knew he had to let her leave.

One Month Later

Finally after a month of torture with Charlie, Bella was finally ready to move far away, she had packed everything she owned in an old truck that she bought with the money she saved up some years ago, and finally hit the road planning to leave for good and to never come back.

She drove as far east as she could before she needed a fill of gas in her old truck, she also decided on some drink and snacks for the road knowing she would starve to death if she didn't, so she bought a pack of water and for food she bought some sandwiches, chips and candy for the road.

It was finally getting pretty late and she was getting too tired to drive so she decided to pull over in a deserted area where she could sleep for the night. Bella also didn't want to spend her money on a motel which is always expensive no matter where you went and she also needed that money.

So when the next morning came her back was sore and had hurt like no other. She decided to get out of her truck for a while to stretch her back and get her more energized for the long trip.

A couple days later she made it to Chicago, IL , having gas stops in between and shopping breaks. Before she moved Bella went online and found a place to live in, the living conditions probably weren't going to be the best, but decided to deal with it because at least she'd have a place to stay for the time being.

She found the address and the apartments looked more pleasant than she thought they would, and went to find the landlord only to find him passed out on his front desk sleeping. How unprofessional she thought, he must not get enough sleep.

She made her way to the desk to knock on his desk, disturbing him from his sleep, lifting his head quickly and hitting the shelves above him with his head while saying curse words to cover the pain.

"I'm sorry about that ma'am is there anything I can help you with." He asked after the pain died down on the back of his skull.

"Yes, I'm Isabella Swan and I'm renting an apartment here which I set up over an online sight." She replied.

"Oh yes, yes, I was wondering when you would show up, any day now, let me show you to your apartment, we have the appliances that you need, and there's an old mattress in the building that you can use for the time being that previous owners of the building left if you don't have anything to sleep on for the night." He informed her.

Bella was actually thankful for that news, that has probably been the best new she heard since she got into Chicago, she in fact didn't have anything to sleep on and she had planned to sleep on the floor tonight and then the next day buy a cheap bed that would fit to her needs.

He showed her around the apartment and told what was expected with people who lived in the apartments like no loud music, no pets and etc.

Ready to go he gave her the key to the apartment and then she went to unload her things from her truck, she first got her clothes and then the other things that she needed. Bella then decided to look around for a near grocery store, because she needed to stock up on food and she also needed silverware and plates oh and she needed bathroom stuff. After that she decided to make a list of things she needed instead of trying to remember everything because she knew she would forget if she even tried.

Driving around and using a map so she wouldn't get lost she marked her starting point so she'd be able to get back without trouble. It actually didn't take that long to find a store with the things she need, so she quickly got a shopping cart and filling it with what she had on her list. She finally paid for her things and made it back to the apartment unloading things and then putting them away in the proper places where she wanted them.

Unpacking her things and making her new home more personalized and simple like her, she finally decided to set up her laptop that she had gotten a couple years ago for school. She first checked her email still knowing that she probably wouldn't have any messages, but the occasional spam sent, because of the lack of friends she had in school, she tried to stay invisible and it work surprisingly well for her, which kept her satisfied but still lonely in a sense. She always wished to have a best friend she could talk to about her life and problems, she did have one person but that person was her mother who has passed away years ago.

After checking her emails and deleting the spam, she decided to settle down for the night. She was exhausted after her trip she needed all the rest she could.

The morning after she was well rested, the mattress that was left their did a world of good for her back which she was pleased buy and was debating if she should keep it or buy a new one with the bed.

After her debate she decided it was best to buy a new clean one because you have no telling where that mattress had been before she moved here.

So today she went out a bought a cheap new bed with sheets, blankets, pillows and a mattress where she loaded up in her truck and brought it back to her apartment.

The bed she had bought ten was a self-build one, so hours later from giving up; she called the landlord to help her. Which actually was surprising that he did it and out of kindness or probably the fact that he was embarrassed being caught sleeping on his job.

After the bed was finished she thanked him and got to making her bed. She didn't have much to do today so she thought she should go and have a look around the city before she would start applying for jobs because she needed to familiarize herself around the city, to be able to know where she was going without getting lost.

The whole day was spent mostly in traffic it was horrible and at this moment she wished she had a better vehicle to drive in, she was so embarrassed with the honking of horns and the yelling of people to tell her get going or lose it. She thought about calling a taxi to drive her around at that point but knew it would cost too much. So she dealt with it instead, and made her way back home.

That day she did find some old book stores and antique stores where she decided that tomorrow she would go have a look around them. She also found some stores to apply for a job at, so she took home some job applications.

When she got back to the apartment she filled out each of the applications and put them in a folder so she wouldn't lose them.

For the rest of the day she decided to clean the apartment, It was still pretty dirty from the previous owners and she didn't like houses or apartments dirty, it was just one of those things that got annoying to her. And it was a habit for her to clean all the time when she was bored.

So getting all of the new cleaning supplies she had bought recently, she started to get to work.

Tell me what you think!
