Crank it

I own nothing.

The long drive from the Airport was uneventful as Bella dreamt of ways to spice up life in Forks and her father focused on the road. As they pulled up to their home Bella once again couldn't help but think of the contrasting personalities of her parents and how alike her brother and her were to them. Alex taking after their mom being the more outgoing and free spirit and her like Charlie calm and reserved for the most part.

After finally coming out of what had to be the hundredth day dream Bella finally took notice of the house in front of her. It seemed time had yet to change anything as the house remained the same as it was the last time she visited five years ago. The only difference from then and now would have been the ancient red truck parked in the driveway accompanied by a Charlie's best friend Billy and his son Jacob if she remembered correctly.

After getting out of the car Bella was reintroduced to their guests and was happy to realize that she had guessed properly but was curious about the truck as she was well aware that without a handicap sticker from the mirror or on the plates it didn't belong to the Blacks as Billy's condition would allow or the fact that it wasn't a wheel chair friendly vehicle.

Bella's internal ramblings and questions were quickly answered after the mock fight between her father and his friend, when to her horror Jacob asked what she thought of the truck as he had spent the last month fixing it up for her. While generally not a superficial person it was frightening to think that she would be subjected to driving this thing to school as it was guaranteed to stand out. How many students would be driving vehicles older than their parents to school? Granted she knew that the cars in forks wouldn't be anything like what she was used to seeing out of cars in Phoenix but to drive a fifty year old rust bucket was guaranteed to draw unwanted attention. The only good thing out of this was that she was grateful the drop off from a police cruiser had been avoided as that was the only thing that was possibly worse than the truck in front of her.

With all of the events of the day stacking up Bella excused herself to her room to unpack and hide away from all the attention being showered on her from Billy and Jacob as they welcomed her to forks and asked random questions about school and her plans for the future. Securely locked away in her room it was only now that she remembered Alex had mentioned a present arriving before school on Monday morning and now she couldn't wait for it to arrive as her brother had said she would need it. Due to the Turbulence and all the other embarrassing events of the day it seemed she forgot to turn her phone back on after getting off the plane as well as her promise to call her brother and let him know everything was okay.

It was noon on Sunday before Bella finally woke up wondering why what little light was filtering through the clouds seemed much higher than it should have been for the morning. This was quickly answered by the clock that read twelve thirty. Wondering why her alarm hadn't gone off at eight like it usually did informing her it was time to get up Bella finally looked at her phone and realized she never turned it back on.

With her phone once again on the screen flashed that she had a dozen missed phone calls. This was surprising as Bella usually only ever received a couple of calls a week and to miss that many in one day was at first alarming. Checking her call log proved that she had missed ten calls from her brother, one from her mother and finally the last call had been from Phil. Guessing that the one from Phil was also her mother checking to see if she was being ignored for being forced to move in with her father. Deciding to listen to messages first she found that the first few were from Alex checking to see if she made okay and the last telling her to call him once she remembered to turn her phone back on. Renee's messages seemed more panicked as her mother had always been the overly dramatic and often times childish person in the family.

Realizing her call to Alex would be the quickest as he was a strictly business type person when dealing with calls Bella called her brother to confirm that she was indeed safe and had spaced out and forgotten to turn her phone back on thus causing her to severely oversleep thanks to a complete lack of sunlight provided in forks. Chuckling was heard over the line as her brother said that only she would be able to sleep an extra four hours and be upset about doing so. After that comment it was back to business with questions on the flight and how things were going with Charlie.

With the conclusion of her previous day's events and a request that on his next visit helping in setting up her own pirate radio station Bella was relieved to hear that he would be up to visit in about a month's time. Realizing this would mean that she was on her own until then Bella decided to indulge herself in her two favorite hobbies reading and listening to her music. Before she broke down and called her mother for what would be a forty five minute call of her mother telling her everything new and exciting going on in her life.

I know really short but my muse is not with me at this time hopefully the next chapter will be better.
