I looked behind me to say one last goodbye to Phoenix. I was going to miss it's brown, dusty landscape and the heat – especially the heat. The airport was filled with many people. Young children, tired after long journeys, pensioners struggling with their bags and teenagers on their first trip without their parents wearing those ridiculous t-shirts with nicknames on them. I looked around waving goodbye to my mother – Renee, safe to say I wasn't going to miss her. She was like a child and I had had enough. Her behaviour was driving me round the bend – a new boyfriend every month always claiming he was 'the one', 'forgetting' to pay the bills while spending the money on a good night out and never coming home leaving me to fend for myself in the world. It had been like this since I was around 12 and at the ripe old age of 17, I had decided to break free.
Going back to La Push - my birth place - seemed like a logical thing to do, I had always missed my brother Jared as I only got to see him briefly in my flying summer visits and I missed my dad Charlie. He was ecstatic to here I was coming home and had the boys painting my room and getting everything ready. The boys consisted of Jared, Jacob, Quil, Embry and formerly Paul but apparently he was now hanging around with some guy named Sam. I was looking forward to seeing them.
I checked in my bag and went to wait for my flight to be called. Finally, after a 45 minute delay we were allowed to board the plane and I got settled in my seat waiting to depart. I was sat next to a bronze-haired guy who gave me the creeps. His eyes were a golden brown and his face was too close to perfect for my liking. His family sat with him – a stunning blonde, her muscly boyfriend, a small pixie like girl with a blond haired boy who looked like he was in pain and the people who I presumed to be his parents who were sat behind us. I looked out the window to see the white fluffy candyfloss like clouds that from the ground were small wisps. The sun was blinding and I looked at it hoping to remember what it looked like so that when we got to my new home, I would have something to cheer me up during the rain. I plugged my Ipod into my ears and started reading, hoping the 2 and a half hours would fly by.
Unfortunately for me, they didn't. About half an hour into the flight, I went to the bathroom. On the way back there was a sudden judder of turbulence and I fell right into the guy next to me's lap.
'Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!'
I blushed bright red.
'It's okay.' He chuckled as I extracted myself back to my own seat. After an awkward silence he introduced himself.
'I'm Edward.'
'Bella.'
'Nice to meet you.'
'Hopefully you can forgive me for plopping into your lap, it wasn't intentional. Where are you headed after Seattle?' I asked.
'It's fine, don't worry about it, Forks, what about you?'
'Near there -La Push, maybe we'll see each other?'
'Maybe.' His toned implied not and I wondered what I said to offend him.
I plugged my headphones back in and tried to fall asleep but to no avail. I watched Edward and his family and there was definitely something odd about them. They seemed to fidget intentionally and I didn't see them eat or drink anything throughout the whole journey. I dismissed this as my tiredness talking and the call to fasten out seatbelts came from the speakers. We descended out of the clouds into a lush, green and tree filled area. It was raining and I was informed by the captain that this was typical weather for the area. Great. I needed to go shopping for some jumpers and things to keep me dry as my wardrobe from Phoenix was obviously not going to last very long.
We touched down onto the runway and my ears popped, a sensation I wasn't comfortable with. I swallowed hoping to get rid of the weird feeling and thankfully, it went away.
Everyone disembarked the plane and I went to collect my luggage.
I was ready to start my new life with my family.
So, what did you think?
