Chapter 9: Moving To Forks
"I just think it would be best. I have dad and all of my friends there. And I already have a relationship with Dr. Cullen. If I go to Florida, I will just have to start over and I don't want to do that." I say all in one breath trying to get everything I just thought to myself out of my mouth.
She sighs, "I knew that was the option you would pick. I told your father as much the other day but he didn't believe me. You have never been happy here and always wanted to go back to live in Forks."
I look at her confused and asked, "Why didn't he think I would choose to live in Forks?"
She says, "Well, your dad thought you would pick the beach over him." She chuckles a little, "And I told him that you would pick him over any beach and even over me and Phillip."
She looks down and I see the hurt in her face. I hate that she is hurting and I love her so much. She has done everything for me and now I'm just going to move away. But I really want to go home.
"Mom, I'm sorry if my decision hurts you. But I'm not little anymore and I can take care of myself." I say trying to make her feel a little better.
She smiles and takes my other hand, holding both now, "I know that and I am very proud of you, you have dealt with this condition and everything else much better that anyone could have expected you too. I love you very much." We hug each other and cry for a while.
I start to make my preparations for the move coming up in the next six months. First, I called my dad. He answers the phone so professional like, "Hello, Swan residence, Chief Swan speaking."
I giggle, "Dad, it's me." I say.
"Hiya Bells. What's up? Are you ok?" He asks, always being a dad.
"I'm fine, I'm just calling to let you know that I am going to come and live with you in June. I'm not going to go to Florida." The other end of the line was very quiet. "Dad? Dad, are you there?" I ask. All of the sudden he screams into the phone with so much excitement. I hold the receiver away from my ear.
"REALLY! YOU PICKED ME AND FORKS OVER FLORIDA!" he said very loudly.
Laughing into the phone, I say, "Dad, calm down. I can't believe you honestly thought I wouldn't choose you."
"Well, I just thought Florida would sound more appealing to you." He says calmly now.
"But I have you, my friends, and Dr. Cullen there." I was telling him the same thing I had just got done saying to my mom a little while ago.
I tell him that I am going to start sending some of my stuff to him via UPS, that way when June gets here, I won't have that much to take on the airplane. He agreed and said that he would just stack the boxes in my room. We talk for a few more minutes and then I tell him that I will see him soon and that I love him and he tells me the same.
Now it was time to tell all of my friends and Cole, that in 5 months, I'm moving to Forks for good and that I won't be back.
This is going to be a very hard and long 5 months….
