Chapter 2 – The Town that Blinks
BPOV
I lead myself out of the loading gates and to the baggage claim area. There are people everywhere. Gosh I didn't know that so many people had a hidden desire to move to the rainiest most dismal place in all of Washington. But meh…. Whatever floats there boats. If they wanted to move to a place like this then who am I to stop them.
I grab my one half empty suitcase and made my way over to the waiting area. As I had to make a dash from the state I didn't get to pack much. I can just imagine the scenario now. Hey mom how are you this fine day. Great oh that's good. Im just going to pack so I can run from the state and go move in with my dad. What you're surprised, I would never have guessed you would be. Yeah. That would go well.
"Bella!?" A man with curly black hair called out. Ah yes my father. He was a lanky man yet had an air of authority around him. Oh who am I kidding? He was a cop in a small town that does nothing but blink. Yet he is still a great dad. You know how you are always more like one parent than the other? Well Im more like my dad than my mum. I would rather be in a car than sit and knit.
"Yeah Ch… dad" damn I really have to get out of that habit of calling him Charlie. My mum doesn't like reminders that I have an actual father. I run up to him and give him a massive spine breaking hug. Im usually not a hugging person but if you have been separated from your dad for over 8 years than I think a hug is in okay.
"I've missed you so much dad."
"Yeah you too Bells, you too" He looked ready to cry and I felt so guilty. It wasn't my fault that I hadn't come to see him… well yeah it was but that's not the point. Racing kept you really busy and seeing as Charlie is a cop, well actually the chief of police, telling your cop dad that you illegally street race is out of the question.
I look around for my twin brother Emmett but see no brother in sight. That's weird Emmett never gives up the chance to see me, seeing as we talk on msn like all the time. Luckily my mum doesn't know that I do or else I would have been totally banned from my laptop. Yes now you're wondering why she doesn't get angry about street racing but she does about speaking to my family? Well lets just say that she doesn't really pay attention to what I do out of the house. No one knew that I street raced except me and my loving second… well third family, the club, after my mum and then my dad and brother… I didn't even tell Emmett about it and I tell him everything.
"Where's Emmett, Dad?" I ask, curiosity twisting my face into the look of well… curiosity. I look up at my dad and see that he is looking really guilty and was not looking me in the eyes.
"Well Bella the thing is that I … um… sort of um wanted to you know… um …. Surprise him?"
I raise one eyebrow up at my father and looked at him in disbelief. I didn't get time to tell Emmett that I was coming here for it was sort of a of the moment decision.
"Dad…"I whined, if Emmett didn't know that means I was going to have to explain why. Gosh! "Why didn't you just tell him?"
"Im sorry Bells it's just that you know how Em loves surprises." He looks at me with the puppy dog eyes and the, oh god, the bottom lip was out and all.
"Dad… don't give me that look. I invented that look. But…. Whatever, Im just going to have to give him a shock of his lifetime." I give my dad and evil grin and said "Well come on let's go home…"
Dad gave me a grin, relief spread all over his face. He was never good at hiding his emotions. I got my skills of that from my mother so I was the best at it. I could beat him at poker when I was 8.
We walked out of the airport and I see him walk over to his cruiser. Oh gosh… doesn't he own anything else. I have never willingly got into a police car. Sure I have been in plenty. I was even friends with the receptionist at the police station but never would I want to get in one. Im just glad that I got my baby transported over here. I would die if I had to drive that to school.
I got into the cruiser with a shudder, as I remember all the times that I got caught street racing. Ah fun times… well they were fun at the time anyways. On the way back to Charlie's… well now my... house I saw all that I needed to see that this was going to be an extremely boring town.
As we pulled into the driveway (I am so not describing the house… it's like the one in twilight) I see that there is a massive red Jeep parked along the side.
"Hey dad?" I ask my eyes still set on the gorgeous creation, "Who does the Jeep belong to and why is it not being used?"
Charlie looked over towards and Jeep and said "Oh… that's Emmett's and the reason its there is because it's broken. He is going to get it fixed soon."
I mischievous grin broke out on my face and rubbed my hand together like I was an evil genius. "Hey dad?"
"Yes Bells?" He asked nervously as if he knew that I was planning something evil. His eyes were narrowed and suspicion was laced into his voice.
"Do you think that he will mind if I… sorta… fixed it?" I don't know why I was so nervous all of a sudden by I was. It was like my twin brothers car. Even though I know that Im the best out there, you could get for free anyways, if I stuffed it up I would have stuffed up our relationship. Both I and Emmett are massive car fans. Yet he is very overprotective so he would freak if he knew that I raced cars or if he saw my scars.
"Sure Bells." He said with the i-am-so-proud-of-my-daughter look on his face. "I didn't know you knew about cars?"
"Oh yeah dad" Looking at him with excitement written all over my face, "I absolutely love cars"
"Well then sure I don't think that Emmett will mind if you fix it up for him."
I hugged my dad tightly and ran up into the house, up the stairs and into my room. (Same as said in the book) Following was my dad, dragging my suitcase up the stairs.
"Is this all you brought?" Uh Oh what do I tell him. Oh I just had to escape the state but no biggie. Uh… no.
"Um all my clothes weren't right for the weather here, dad. Im just going to buy some." I looked around nervously… unable to meet my father eyes. God I suck at lying. Usually this is why I got caught racing so often. Stupid Genes.
Charlie was just standing in my room looking awkward as I was in my internal rant. I didn't even realize when he started to just ramble on about... bedcovers? Right…..
"Um.. dad?" I asked. He raised his eyebrows at me to continue on. "Can you like leave so I can get dressed, so I can go down to fix the Jeep" A blush rose brightly on my cheeks as he looked around even more awkwardly than before. Great going dumbass… I say to myself.
"Oh yeah sure. Of course you want to get dressed. You're a young girl and young girls do that kind of thing right?"
"Dad?" I say to him "You're rambling"
"Oh" he walks over to the door and continues on to say, "Um…Im going down to the station, will you be okay here on your own. I should be back before Emmett comes home."
"Yeah sure dad. I'll be fine."
He walks out the door and makes his way downs the stairs. I never realized how loud he was. He was like a fricken elephant.
Anyways back to what I was doing before the elephants decided to play twister down the stairs. I grabbed some of my old jeans that I wear to work on cars and a long sleeved hugging shirt. I would have worn a tank top but I don't want anyone to know about my tattoo and scars. It's a new and boring town and I think that they would have a heart attack if then knew I did anything slightly exciting then blinking. I ran down the stairs and skipped out the door. Before I started with cars I was really really clumsy but driving and running from the cops makes you a bit more down to earth. I went over to the Jeep and got under it. (I don't know much about cars so ill just do the best I can… please don't be angry at me for it) It was a beautiful car; I just can't wait for my baby to arrive.
Thanks everyone for reading this chapter. Please review cause it would mean the world to me.
