(Bella's POV.)

I walked off the plane and over to the baggage claim. I soon found my brown suitcase and searched around the airport. I decided since my dad wouldn't be here until later that i might as well buy me a book and something to drink. Walking over to the nearest store, i bought a diet pepsi and Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater. (Highly recommended! i loved this book Can't wait for the sequel Linger!) Sitting down, i began to read. I was on chapter five when i felt my phone buzz. Looking at Caller ID i saw it was Charlie. Since i don't know him that well i just call him by his first name instead of Dad.

"Hello?" I asked into the phone.

"Bella?"

"Yeah Charlie?"

"I'm by the baggage claim, where are you?"

"I'm at a nearby store. I'll be there in a minute."

"Ok." I hung up and gathered my things. Making my way back, i soon saw what i thought was my dad. He's changed just as i have. I can recognize his basic characteristics though. I walked closer so where i was standing in front of him.

"Bells?" He asked, a bit astonished. I simply nodded my head. He took a few steps closer to me so he could wrap his arms around me.

"I missed you." I stayed silent. I had missed him, but i hadn't really known him well enough for it to be a lot. Truthfully, if weren't for this, i probably wouldn't have talked to him again in my life.

"So you ready to go?" He asked, wiping his eyes.

"Did you drive the cruiser?" I asked, dreading the answer.

"No. I do have a surprise for you though. Come on, let's get going, we still have to eat lunch." I nodded and grabbed my suitcase once more. We walked outside and into the parking lot. He started to lead me over to an old red truck. It took a few minutes of staring to realize it was mine. Rushing towards the car, i looked inside. Sure enough, there was all my music.

"How did you get my car?" I asked, joy filling my voice.

"I had it shipped out here. It wasn't easy. I figured you'd want something you were already used to driving while you're out here." Turning away, i ran over to hug him.

"Woah Bells! I'm not that strong anymore." He exclaimed once our bodies clashed. I smiled and let go.

"Do you have the keys?" Charlie pulled them out of his pocket and dangled the clashing metal in front of my face. Squealing, I grabbed the keys and unlocked the door. Putting my things in the back, I climbed in. I rubbed my hands over the steering wheel, enjoying the feeling of being back in my car. I heard the passenger door open and slam shut. Opening my eyes I looked over to Charlie.

"Thank you so much." I said.

"No problem." Smiling, I started the car and waited for him to direct me.

Once we finally reached his/our house, i parked in the driveway. I pulled my suitcase out from the back and onto the ground. Charlie had already went ahead of me and unlocked the front door. Dragging my suitcase inside, i peered around the house. It was another thing that hadn't changed. The living room still had the same pale blue color and tv in the middle of the north wall. The kitchen was still the same sunflower yellow that my mom had painted. If anything the only thing that's changed is the position of my school portraits on the wall by the staircase.

Walking over to the stairs, i began to climb them. Once i reached the top, i turned to the right and opened my door. It had been repainted a beautiful amethyst purple. My bed was now larger and had silver bedsheets on them. I had a floor lamp and desk in one corner of the room. In the other was a tv on a stand. My old rocking chair was till there though, leaning against the wall by the window. My mom had used to rock me to sleep there when i was a baby. She would whisper a sweet song in my ear as she rubbed my back and peered out the window. Thinking of her brought tears to my eyes. I quickly wiped them away and set my bag down on the bed.

"Do you like it?" Charlie's voice came from the hallway. I turned around and nodded. He knew that his room still reminded me of mom, the whole house did. She was a sore subject for both of us.

"Well I'll be downstairs, ordering lunch."

"Ordering?"

"I wasn't sure what you liked anymore, so i decided we could just order pizza. Is that ok?"

"Of course." I answered, gigging a little. He walked back downstairs and i closed the door. I began to unpack my things. My closet was about halfway full with my clothes. I didn't bring all of my clothes of course. Just enough to last me the two months. Setting up the pictures, I looked out the window. Outside stood Charlie next to a man in a wheel chair. At a closer look, I realized he must have been one of the Quillete Indians. Staring out, i realized there was also a guy about my age or younger standing beside him.

Suddenly he looked up at me. Immediately I pulled away from the window, my cheeks becoming heated. Once my face had gone back to it's original color, I walked back towards the window. He wasn't looking up anymore so that was good. I sighed.

"I shouldn't be thinking about stuff like that. I need to unpack." I told myself. I placed my clothes in their respective places, then started to put up pictures. Most of them were of the co-workers at the club. After they were up, I heard a knock at my door.

"Bells, the pizza is here."

"Okay Charlie, i'll be down in a second." He nodded then turned away. I peered around the room, making sure it was how I wanted it, then left myself.

We grabbed a plate and a slice each then sat down at the table. The silence that settled over us wasn't exactly tense, but wasn't really comfortable either. When I was done, I threw away my paper plate. Just as I started back up the stairs, Charlie stopped me with his voice.

"Tomorrow Bells, you'll start going to Forks High. I'm going to be late tomorrow getting home. Will you be fine by yourself?"

"Yeah, I'll probably just explore the town a bit anyway." He nodded and I went upstairs to get ready for bed.
