Chapter 2: Arriving at Forks

It only felt like 5 minutes we were in the air before the plane started to descend, well here goes nothing. I got out of my seat and grabbed my carry-on bag and headed out, well this sure is original it's raining - nothing new there just have to get use to it now more rain where that is coming from.

Charlie of course was waiting for me. I groaned internally. Charlie was the police Chief to the good old people of Forks and of course he drove the police cruiser and I of course got to ride with him home in it. First chance I get I'm buying a car, luckily I am a good saver and have a little put aside and could probably afford something small, and old, oh and something preferably that runs. Definitely need to look into it because I am not driving with Charlie in that. I shuddered at the thought.

I am not looking forward to the hour long drive back to Forks with Charlie. He was happy that I was coming to live with him but didn't really understand why and why now, just like Renee. Maybe they both thought I was losing my mind and they where humouring me while secretly having me evaluated by some doctor, ok paranoid much, I mean they both know I hate Forks and if that doesn't sound alarm bells I don't know what would. We I do know what would be I'm so not going there right now. I'm already depressed enough as it is not need to make them depressed too.

I was brought out of my inner thoughts by Charlie grabbing my carry-on bag and giving me an awkward one armed hug. Kind of made me jump a little and almost trip over. Charlie steadied me but I moved away quickly once I was standing on my own two feet.

"Good to see you Bells." He said smiling at me. "You haven't changed much since last time I seen you. How is your mother?"

"Yeah mom is fine. It's good to see you too Dad." I so wasn't really allowed to call him Charlie, well to his face anyway, behind his back was another story completely.

Charlie grabbed my bags and started walking towards the cruiser. Popping the trunk and placing them inside. I walked to the passenger side and got in as I waited for Charlie to finish putting my bags in the trunk.

"I got you a homecoming gift." Charlie stated.

Wow he really must be excited for me to be here but still he didn't need to get me anything.

"Um Dad you didn't need to do that really."

"Well I didn't think you would like driving around in my cruiser and well you do need to get to school and more times than not it is raining and I leave too early to take you to school, not that you would want that anyway." Charlie rambled out.

Ok double wow, longest sentence I have ever heard Charlie say and he got me a car, say what.

"Wow Dad you really really didn't need to do that, I was going to buy my own car when I got the chance."

"Well it's nothing fancy and it's the perfect car for you. "

Ok nothing fancy that's ok I can do nothing fancy but good for me, kind of interesting.

"Ok what year is it?" I inquired, I could ask that it's a simple enough question.

"Um yeah I think it is late 90's"

OK that's not too bad so it isn't ancient.

"What type of car is it?" Again another simple question.

"It's a ford pick-up." He looked at me then and probably seen the look on my face. "It's a sturdy thing and Jacob has kept it in top condition. "

"Oh ok, um how much was it?"

"Bells I said I would get it for you and now it's already paid for and everything." He stated looking concerned now.

I hated people buying me things, that just wasn't me. Charlie knew this as well.

"Look I got it cheap enough you remember Billy Black?" He asked.

I shook my head no, well I don't remember him. Should I remember him, I haven't been to Forks since I was like 12 years old and even then it wasn't as if I paid attention.

"Well he lives at La Push and went I went fishing I'd take you with me, you would play with his daughters Rachel and Rebecca." He looked at me again and continued, "Well Billy can't drive anymore and has been keeping it in his garage and well it's been gathering dust, Jacob however has been keeping it running and maintaining it. But well Jacob didn't want it and so Billy decided to sell it to me and well seen as how we are mates and all, well Bells you get the picture."

Ok so this is now officially the longest conversation I have had with Charlie and that's kind of scary. I was somewhat surprised that he did this for me. It took me completely off guard and also meant that I had extra money that I thought I would have to spend on a car.

"Um thanks Dad, I really appreciate it." I smiled at him and he nodded in acceptance.

Charlie and I are much the same, we don't really like to show our emotions and for him to do this for me meant a lot.

"Well I just want you to be happy here."

Little did he know that no matter how hard he tried I would never be the same and I definitely would not be happy. My life has taken a drastic spiral of well I don't know what you would call it but I feel like everything is out of my control. A week and a half ago I was fine living my life as the average girl at my school and not being noticed and then it happened and now everything won't be the same again ever. I had not let myself think too much about it I couldn't let Renee see me break down, although I think she knows something is wrong but she won't say anything unless I bring it up and for that I love her. Although why she wouldn't bring it up is a mystery to me. Your daughter decided to move to a different state and for no known reasons, wouldn't any normal parent ask why. But then again Renee is not your normal parent.

We finally pulled up at Charlie's house, well my house too now I guess. Nothing much had changed since the last time I was here, well except the new addition of my brand new pick-up, well it's new to me anyway. Charlie and Renee bought this house right after they were married, it is a cute two bedroom two story house. The house was in a quiet street, and it backed onto the forest behind. That's one good thing about Forks you don't live on top of your neighbours, there is a good distance between houses.

I got out the cruiser and grabbed my carry-on bag, Charlie insisted on carrying my two suitcases. Charlie unlocked the door and headed straight upstairs and I followed. Charlie placed my suitcases by the bed and stood there awkwardly. I thought I'd save him from this awkward situation, he probably didn't know what to say or do at this point.

"Thanks for bringing my things up."

"No problem Bells, um so I'll just head down stairs," He started heading to the door and paused in the doorway "Bells pizza good tonight, I thought we could order in?"

"Yeah sure sounds good." I said as I sat on my bed.

"Ok then well just yell if you need anything." Charlie said while shifting uncomfortably in the doorway and then he turned and went down stairs, probably to watch some sports on the flat screen.

Charlie was great. He wasn't like Renee, he didn't hover over me and ask me 20 questions, which if the situation was reversed and this was happening to Renee she wouldn't have been able to leave me alone to gather my thoughts.

He really wasn't use to situations like these, well me either, he was probably trying to figure out the best way to ask me why I decided to come. He actually hasn't asked me yet, but then again Charlie isn't one to pry.

I sat here looked at my room. Nothing much has changed. Typical Charlie he doesn't like change and he probably hasn't been up in my room that much. I am amazed that he didn't turn it into an office or something, obviously he hoped that I would one day come back. Well if he did he got his wish.

Looking around I noticed that the walls were the same colour we painted it one year when I came to visit, we only painted it because Charlie though that I might like a purple room and when I came one Summer I threw a hissy fit and refused to sleep in it until we painted it a different colour – as I remember I think I said something about I don't sleep in girl coloured rooms. That Summer we painted it light blue, which honestly was a much better colour than purple. My old dresser was in the corner next the closet, a small desk was by the window and it held a computer. Wait a computer well that's different and on closer inspection it looks somewhat newish. Ok so Charlie has bought more than just a new vehicle for me. He really must be happy that I am home. Ok wow I am already calling Forks home, this is bad. Things are looking better a computer at least I won't go completely insane here then and on closer inspection it was hooked up to the phone jack in the wall which meant that I had internet access, got to love Charlie, wonder how he came up with that idea.

My old rocking chair was by the other window that overlooks the road and the hideous yellow lace curtains – yuk I so need to do something about those curtains, maybe I could get a dark blue or maybe even purple to match the bedding. Ok maybe Charlie forgot my hate for purple, although honestly it isn't that bad. Maybe it might grow on me. The floor was hardwood with the addition of a dark blue shaggy rug on ground at the end of the bed. A full length mirror was next to the closet.

It was nice to finally be alone, it was a relief to not have to look happy and smile, I could just stare out the window at the rain that had picked up. A few tears escaped, damn emotions luckily no one was here to see. I wasn't in the mood to let my emotions get the better of me, I would save it for later.

I decided to pack things away before I went any further. Get the annoying stuff out the way first and keep myself busy. If I'm busy I can't think and if I can't think about it then I won't get upset. I can't let Charlie see me like that or he'll either have me committed or send me back to Renee. Nothing would make him freak out like having his teenage daughter who just arrived crying her eyes out hysterically, although would be interesting to see how he handled that one, probably would call Renee and freak her out which would end up in either me being sent home or her coming here.

So for the next hour I put my clothes away and my few belongings I brought with me, which were mainly books. Honestly I think I dragged it out by making sure everything was where I wanted it to be and I might have rearranged things a few times just to make sure. I put my bathroom supplies into the bathroom and I groaned internally at the thought of sharing a bathroom. I have to share the bathroom and with Charlie so not looking forward to this, At Renee's place I had my own bathroom and this was going to take some getting use to. Sharing a bathroom with a male, they are so not clean creatures, hopefully he remembers to put the seat down.

Once I had everything put away I decided to pay a visit to Charlie, might as well show him that I am in fact still alive and here and that I haven't got lost, though how I would get lost upstairs is a mystery to me. As I came down the stairs I noticed the television was on and Charlie of course was in his favourite lounge chair with his vitamin R in his hands. He looked up and noticed me and then turned the television down.

"Bells I ordered the pizza should be here in about another 10 minutes." He looked at me and smiled "You still like pepperoni?"

"Yeah Dad Pepperoni is fine." I replied as I took a seat on the couch.

Charlie watched the last 5 minutes of his football game, why anyone would find that interesting I have no idea. Then he changed the channel to some mindless sitcom. It wasn't half bad but I wasn't paying too much attention. Not long after the doorbell rang and our pizza was here.

I went into the kitchen and got myself a glass of water and some napkins, while Charlie paid for the pizza. We ate in silence in front of the flat screen while watching the sitcom. I honestly didn't know how hungry I really was, I had only had breakfast and didn't really have time to have lunch with all the travelling I've done today. I managed to eat 4 slices. Once we finished I cleaned up and put the rubbish in the bin. I told Charlie that I was going to shower and head to bed.

It was about 9pm by the time I walked upstairs to have my shower. I gathered my pyjamas and a towel from the hall closet and headed to the bathroom. I turned on the water to let it heat up while I undressed. I cringed as I took off my shirt; I think I could have some broken ribs, I've suspected this or the past week but every time I take my shirt off I still cringe with pain. I've broken some before when I was younger it was a bike accident I think I was about 10, it kind of felt like that. I looked down and the bruises were still their but fading a bit. I willed myself to not think about what happened, there was time for crying when I went to bed and when Charlie was asleep so he couldn't hear me break down.

I finished getting undressed, tied my hair up – I would wash it tomorrow when I had more time to dry it properly. I showered relatively quickly, only staying in long enough to wash myself and get out. In a rush I dried myself and got dressed, it was way too cold to take my time; I was worried I might get phenomena or something. Have people ever got that, I mean it doesn't take long to get out the shower and dressed but still weirder things are possible right like Vampires and Werewolves exist and run around pretending to be normal. I snorted at the possibility.

I put my dirty clothes in the hamper and hung up my towel to dry and then walked down stairs to say goodnight to Charlie. I walked into the living room and Charlie was still sitting in his favourite chair with a can of vitamin R in hand. He looked up as I approached.

"Good night Dad."

"Night Bells. Sleep well." He hesitated before continuing on "I probably will be gone by the time you get up. You know where the school is."

That's right Charlie got me signed up for school and everything. Must have done that Friday once Renee called him to tell him I was coming back to Forks. He really must have been excited for me to be here or maybe just didn't want to mess with my schooling.

"Yeah sure shouldn't be too hard to find." I replied and with that I walked back up the stairs to my room.

Once in my room I closed the door at turned on the bedside lamp. I couldn't sleep without the light on anymore, ever since, the dark it scares me. It's only been a week and well I tried not to think about it but subconsciously I know that deep down, I can't not think about it. With that the tears started to fall.

I didn't sleep well that night, even after I was done crying. I cried about being in Forks, about what had happened, about missing my mother and about my new life here in Forks. The constant whooshing of the rain and wind across the roof wouldn't fade into the background. I pulled the quilt over my head, and later added the pillow, too. But I couldn't fall asleep until after midnight, when the rain finally settled down into a quieter drizzle.

Even then I still woke up during the night. Sweating and Screaming into my pillow. How anyone can sweat in Forks is beyond me but I was. For the past week I haven't had a good nights sleep and every time I woke up it took me longer to fall back asleep. The last time I looked at my clock on the nightstand it said 5am and I swear I heard Charlie up already.
