Chapter 1: Lexi

This must be how out of body experiences feel. I saw myself looking blankly at the wall for hours before acting like a robot, I got up, dressed in the clothes that were hanged in front of the closet, called a cab and went to the airport. The long flight felt as if it was only minutes and then I was at Port Angeles being picked up by Charlie. We were silent as he drove us home, silent as we arrived, silent as I went to bed.

I wasn't sure how I end up here. I was in the cruiser, with Charlie, parked infront of the airport. Again. I followed him as he headed to check in.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm not going anywhere Bells. You're going to Renee in Jacksonville, she's waiting for you"

I felt my jaw slacken and my eyes becoming wide as his words circled in my head. He was shipping me off to mom? Was I a little girl again? He gave me an awkward one armed hug and turned on his heels. I watched him walk away, waiting he'll turn back until the automatic doors closed and I couldn't see him anymore. On autopilot I boarded my plane. It wasn't until a series of rough turbulences that my brain turned on again.

What was I doing? I had spent a week mute because E.., I felt my chest tighten at the thought of his name, was too weak and afraid so he broke up with me. A series of images flooded my brain. Moments of me and Edward playing like a broken record. The turbulance had me thrashing around like a broken ragdoll and I felt as if someone kept punching my chest.

The pilot announced that due to the bad weather we would be making an emergency landing in Charlotte, wherever that is, for a few hours and the plane began to descent. The woman next to me reached and handed me a tissue. I accepted it nodding my thanks and wiped my eyes.

"Don't worry, it's just turbulances"

"I'm not afraid of the weather"

"the tears then?"

"umm, it's personal"

she nodded and leaned back in her seat. I pushed my hair out of the way, wiped my eyes and blew my nose.

As soon as the plane landed the blond girl next to me didn't move until all the other passengers took their carry ons and got off the plane. Only then she got up and let me pass. I thanked her quietly and got off. I headed to pick up my luggage and play the waiting game.

"wanna grab a coffee?"

The blond girl that was sitting next to me asked as I was about to sit on the uncomfortable metal chairs of the waiting area.

"Sure"

I agreed even though I didn't know why and followed her to a small strabucks inside the airport. We each grabbed a coffee and took a seat.

"I'm Lexi"
