Chapter 3 BPOV

That was the longest flight I've ever felt, my ass is definitely sore. My decision to come back to Forks wasn't easy but after negotiating with my mom Renee she finally gave up. I wanted to leave Phoenix and change scenery for a while but I think the decision was more based on Jacob than I can admit. I walked towards the crowd of rushy people trying to get their luggage. Once I found my one baggage I exited the airport where the pick-up site stood, standing on my tippy toes I searched for a certain man in a mustache also known as my dad.

"Bella!" I looked to my left and for the first time in 3 years I saw my father Charlie Swan standing there looking exhausted but i could see the hint of a smile in his expression. I couldn't help but grin, run towards him and give him a breathtaking hug. I actually missed my dad he was my buddy just not the kind where I told all my secrets and feelings to but still my bud.

"Hey dad" I said after we broke free of our father daughter moment. He hasn't changed one bit which isn't really surprising because even when I lived here before he still never changed.
"Hey Bells, well look at you all grown up" he said with an actual Charlie Swan smile. It's not a full blown smile but it's half but that's just how my dad is he was never one to show emotions unless it was something he was really proud or excited about. He doesn't give his famous smiles unless he's actually happy so I can definitely say that my choice of coming back to forks was a good one. I smiled back in response. We walked to his car which was an official chief of police cruiser. Yep, Dad is chief of police in the little town of Forks but I am damn proud of it. What can I say my dad is a great man and he deserves his title. We made small talk on the way to Forks which consisted of questions of my life in Arizona and comments on how grown up and mature I have become. When we finally made it home I immediately recognized not only Charlie's house but the one next to it as well.

The Cullen's home.

I remember everything as if I've never had moved. Alice my energetic pixie Best friend, Emmett the cocky, funny, and childlike big brother I never had, & then there was Edward my other best friend but to me he was much more than that. Edward was basically the boy next door to me he was handsome, and a complete sweetheart. We were best friends and inseparable our relationship was more than the one I had with Alice. Sure she was my best friend and I told her most things but when it came to Edward I told him everything and it was pretty mutual.

He would tell me his secrets and I would tell him mine like how he had watched porn for the first time when we were 13 on his computer ofcourse it was Emmett's idea or how when we were 15 he wanted to become a musician like Thom Yorke when he grows up. We shared dreams, wishes, and even some feelings toward certain situations. The one feeling I never shared with him were the one I felt towards him. Edward Cullen was my superman and to be honest I was in love with him.
I fell in love with him around third grade year when Mike Newton took my cookie from me and Edward kicked Mike, threatening to give it back or he'll be sorry. I was young and I saw Edward as my superhero, I loved him for it.

Soon my love for him grew throughout the years I saw him for the sweet, charming, handsome gentleman he was. I remember the day I had to leave Forks because my mom got tired of small town life and decided to leave my dad. It was the worst day of my life because not only was I leaving my loving father, eccentric best friend, and the closest thing I had to a brother behind but I was also leaving the love of my life.
It sounds kind of cliché and cheesy but that's just how it was. Now that I've grown I realize what love is and that I'm not a naive little girl anymore believe me I've learned lessons when it comes to love make Jacob Black a perfect example.
I've tried to stay in communication with the Cullens but in the end it just hurt really badly and talking to them only made me miss them more especially Edward so I stopped, not one of my proudest decisions but I felt it was necessary.

"Alice has been excited ever since I told her you were coming back Bells" Charlie's voice brought me back from my thoughts. I guessed he noticed me starring at the Cullen home. "I've missed her" I told him quietly. I meant it; I've also missed much more than just her. I got out of the cruiser, grabbed my bag and walked into my previous and now present home with my father following behind.
