My eyes open finally a feeling of peace comes over me i have arrived. Now i just have to look for Charlie i hope he remembered what time my flight landed. Walking quickly nervously waiting to see the man i call dad whom i haven't seen in over three years. I still feel sad about having to leave my mom. But i can't seem to wipe this smile off of my face grinning from ear to ear i see him waiting for me next to his beat up pick up truck. Looking the same as the day i left he smiles as he approaches me i drop my bags and give him a real i love you hug. He tells me how much he missed me and how happy he is that im back.
I climb into his truck i have a feeling of nostalgia driving threw the town i spent so many summers in. And so far it hasn't changed still filled with happy people and wet streets constantly overcome by the sent of oncoming rain. Just how i remembered it never quite getting the opportunity to smell rain living in Phoenix this was a welcome feeling.
We arrive at Charlie's house my house our home. He's lived here since i was a baby and it still looks like he's trying to repair it slowly but surely i thought. He grabs my bags from the truck and takes them inside already an improvement over step-dumb. He tells me he's left my room exactly the same as it was the last time i was here the only difference is as he says i have a big girls bed now. I laughed as we entered the house the house that i longed to walk into for so long smelling of fresh paint and air freshener. I imagine Charlie was trying to pick up a little before my arrival. I feel happy and exhausted at the same time. Once i finished unpacking i set at the foot of my bed reminiscing about the times i had the summers i spent. The last time i was truly happy until now.
I leave my room walking down the stairs as Charlie calls me down to the kitchen. He tells me that the Black family is having a bon fire and they would like us to be there. I was hesitant at first not really wanting to be around a lot of people right now just wanting to spend some time and catch up with Charlie. But then he told me Jacob was asking about me. I remember Jacob the kid i spent a lot of my summers with playing at the beach and exploring the woods. I was nervous about seeing him after so long. I wonder if he still remembers the time i pushed him into the water. Man was he angry i hope he doesn't carry a grudge. And that's the whole reason he wants me to attend just so he can push me into a puddle of water my mind wondering as Charlie asks me if i was ready to go. I tell him to give me a minute as i rush up stairs to change.
On the way to La Push i was happy to finally be driving my baby. Happy that Charlie remembered to put the top up. He tells me about Jacob and how he remembers us and how close we were. I ask him how Jacobs doing and he says that he's doing good and that he's a good kid. I always thought he would be me always being the trouble maker and him never wanting to cause trouble.
We arrive at La Push i see Billy and Jacob already outside as though they were waiting for us. I nervously get out of the car keeping my head down trying to think of something to say. As i see Jacob's feet moving towards me. I pick up my head only to see a different boy. Not the little boy running around with mud on his face not wanting to take a bath. But a handsome young man with a beautiful smile. He tells me
''hi'' i reply ''hello'' lowly under my breath. He tells me that its good to see me and its been a long time i agree he asks me if i want to walk with him down to the bon fire.
Charlie and Billy stay home to watch the baseball game. It feels good talking with an old friend. We get to the bon fire where he meets up with some of his friends. He introduces me as his best friend growing up this is
''Bell from Phoenix'' he says.
His friends seem nice there's Embry short with long hair looks like he keeps to himself. Then there's Paul tall and lean comes off as a smart ass kind of like myself. Then last there's Quill kind of the same as Paul in stature but not so much the attitude more of a clown then a smart ass. But they all seem cool we talked about the bon fire and how they have one every weekend as a way for them to get together. I liked the idea of that kind of like a family.
They asked what school i was going to and i told them Forks High School. They said they all go to school on the reservation. I mentioned how i need to get clothes for school on Monday and they said they were going to the mall tomorrow and i was welcome to join them. Jacob seemed kind of hesitant at first almost as if he didn't know if i would want to hang out with them. Or if they would do something to offend me especially Paul. I happily agreed to go. They told old ghost stories in front of the bon fire something i would have never done in Phoenix. Fire is the last thing you want to think about over there.
I get a text from Chase asking why didn't text him when i got here. I must have forgot i told him i was sorry and that ill call him when i get home. Damn it i forgot to call my mom and tell her i was here. Its OK im sure she will understand ill have to call her also when i get our way back to Jacobs house. We laughed and made jokes almost as if id been friends with them for years. We arrive at Jacobs house and we decide to wait outside and talk while we wait for the game to end. We talked about the mall and what time we should go. Paul compliments me on my car asking if he could drive it?
Hell no i thought to myself not wanting to say that out loud. And so i just laughed it off and said ''i don't think so''.
Charlie comes out after the game he asks ''if im ready to go''. I tell Jacob that i will give him a call tomorrow. And i tell his friends that it was nice meeting them. We pull out from the house on our way home Charlie asks
''what's going on with you and Jacob tomorrow''.
''Oh nothing'' i told him. ''We were just going to go to the mall to get some school clothes''.
''In Port Angeles'' he asks.
''Yea i guess'' i respond.
We get home it feels nice being back in my old room. I call my mom and tell her that every things OK. I tell her about La Push and how me and Jacob are going shopping at the mall tomorrow. My mom being the over protective parent that she is tells me to be careful. I tell her of course. She asks me
''if im happy'' and i tell her
''yes''
she says ''that she's happy that im happy''. That makes me feel better i thought.
She says im welcomed to come home anytime. I tell her i don't think ill be back any time soon. I tell her i love her and i miss her and i will call her tomorrow.
Now i have to call Chase i hope he isn't mad at me. We talked for quite awhile. He talked about how much he misses me and how he thinks we can make the long distance relationship work. I tell him that i would give it a try. I tell him that i love him and miss him and how tired i was from the flight. He says that he will let me go so i can get some sleep and that he will call me tomorrow. I take a shower and get ready for bed. My first night in a long time back in my old room. It felt good i climb under the covers and fall asleep peacefully.
The sun gleaming threw my window and into my face wakes me up. the breeze comes into my room carrying the smell of wet dew on the grass something i didn't smell in Phoenix. Its a little past eight i call Jacob to see if he's ready for me to pick him up. He says to give him an hour he said he called the guys and told them to be at his house so i wont have to pick each one of them up. That was nice of him i thought i brushed my teeth and jumped into the shower. Wondering what i was going to wear.
I look threw my closet and find some black skinny jeans my favorite jeans. And my white true blood tank top that reads Eric is my maker. I put on my shoes blow dry my hair and put a little bit of make up on. I leave the house around nine thirty i call Jacob to tell him im on my way. He says that there all ready to go. I pull up to his house just as i receive a text from Chase it reads good morning and he asks me what im doing today.
He tells me he misses me and he's thinking of me. I tell him that im about to go to the mall with some friends. He's happy that I've already made some friends. I tell him that Jacob used to be my friend when i was little. It seemed to upset him i ask if he's jealous he responds back saying what do you think? My girlfriend is hanging out with some guy. And how would i feel if he was hanging out with a girl? I tell him that he is over reacting and that we are just friends he writes back and says whatever ill talk to you later.
He must be upset. I tell him OK whatever. Jacob and the guys come out of the house and get into the car. Jacob has to give me directions on how to get to the mall. It was nice to talk and laugh and just have a good time i haven't had that in what seems like forever. We arrive at the mall Paul noticing my shirt and saying he could be my maker. I raise my hand to slap him but before i can Jacob slaps him on the back of the head and we all laugh.
Embry asks me what kind of stuff im into. And what i did for fun back in Phoenix.
''Not much i tell him usually just sit at home and bake'' i laughed.
''Oh you like to bake'' Paul says ''like what cookies and stuff''?
''No no'' i laughed ''i meant bake like bake because its really hot there''.
Quill laughs and calls Paul an idiot. We go into a women's clothing store which was a very bad idea. Never mix Paul, Quill, and womens undergarments. Im surprised they weren't asked to leave the store. Especially when Paul was running around with granny panties over his head screaming at the top of his lungs that he couldn't see. Just as Quill takes his hand and leads him into the women's dressing room.
Jacob, Embry, And myself quickly leave the store. As the screams of unsuspecting women fill the dressing room. Quill comes running out laughing uncontrollably as Paul trails behind holding his crotch in pain slightly limping. Saying ''she didn't have to hit me there''.
I feel as though they are growing restless following me around from store to store. So i tell them when im done we can do what they want and seeing a manly action movie is what they came up with. And so we went to the movie wasn't as bad as i thought it was going to be. What was worst was Paul and Quill arguing about which lady was hotter.
Then we decided to get something to eat from the food court. I wanted pizza and i didn't really care about what they wanted. Since i haven't had a good slice of pizza in a long time. Man can they eat i wondered how they stay in such good shape eating as much as they do. On our way out of the mall my phone vibrates and i see that i got a text from Chase. Telling me he's sorry and he didn't mean to overreact.
While i was responding back i wasn't watching where i was going and i bumped into a guy dropping my phone on the floor. As i leaned over to pick it up he leans over as well and picks it up first our hands almost touching. He hands it back to me and asks if im OK. Yes i answer. Our eyes connecting for a second but it seemed like minutes. the whole encounter Leaving me with butterfly's in my stomach. Just as he's about to ask me something. Jacob grabs my hand and pulls me away. Our eyes still connected as we walk farther apart from each other. Embry asks me if i'm OK. Im fine i told him ''are you guys ready to go''?
