Bored. I lie in this cramped bed waiting for the sun to shine down on my face as it usually would back at home, but this wasn't and didn't feel like home. Nothing felt warm here.
I opened my suitcase for my necessities and headed for the bathroom, slowly I opened the door as it creaked open hoping I didn't wake Charlie up, he wasn't in his room as his door was wide open and nor in the bathroom, instead I could hear the television on downstairs.
To my surprise, I went to the kitchen to see that it was fully stocked with food, nothing I particularly liked so I ended up eating a cereal I have never heard before. Ugh bran. I grabbed the cereal and joined Charlie in the living room watching whatever was on.
"so bells, what do you want to do today?" Charlie asked me as a commercials started to come on, what was there to do here?
I shrugged unsure of the possibilities here.
"What about the mall?" he suggested
I thought I had choked on my cereal then, for as long as I could remember Charlie hated shopping with mom yet he was willing to take me.
"Why did you need something?" I asked finishing my cereal, knowing there would be something he would need.
I stared at Charlie for numerous seconds, his face was expressionless waiting for his answer.
"Fishing gear" he finally says. "Old ones getting pretty... old"
As much as I hated shopping I guess it wouldn't hurt to have a look around with my dad.

This place was obviously not in Forks, the drive felt like a long time, with silence and awkward conversations, it was a huge indoor shopping mall, Charlie, as usual drove his police cruiser inside the parking lot near the entrance. In silence Charlie and I made our way into the mall. It was something I didn't expect, nearly all the shops were designer and the place looked half empty - the way I liked it
Just as I thought it was a nice quiet mall that people hardly went to, people were everywhere it was really busy it felt like eyes were all on me as I tried to go unnoticed everybody knew each other in small towns, I walked beside Charlie looking at the shops beside me,
"Hey Chief Swan" said a boy who was as tall as I was with a Jock image and a baby face,
"Mike" he nodded "How's your dad?"
"Yeah, He's a... He's fine" Mike said while passing glimpses at me.
"I'm uh... going to look around in this shoe shop"
Before Charlie could introduce me to the guy, which he could of done with or without my presence, I hurried on into the shop without a backward glance, but not fast enough as I could hear him introducing his only daughter 'Isabella' Ugh that name.
'Souvenir from Forks' I told myself looking at a variety of trainers until I found a pair that didn't look brand new but looked... ancient.... and perfect.
I grabbed them only to see someone else's hand near the same pair, I looked up at the hand, a girl with beautiful pale skin, curly blond hair someone who didn't need a tan to look perfect, her golden brown eyes stared at me with hatred, I kept my grasp on the shoes while she lowered her pale hands away from them, she stormed off out of the shop leaving a lovely perfume scent. I didn't get a proper look at her face, but I knew she hated me right now; it was a good thing I didn't live in this town.
Buying only one thing from the whole mall I found Charlie where he said he would be buying his fishing gear, we both agreed to get out of here. I took a last look at the mall wondering if I would ever come back here then went into the parking lot, loud thumping music was covering the whole parking lot.
"What in the world is that racket" Charlie said looking around him looking annoyed.
Racket? This was not noise, it was... pure music I loved to listen to with mom, what a coincidence I would be hearing it here.
"Why don't you head on down to the cruiser and I'll go deal with this" he said trusting me enough to hand me his keys to the car.
While I made my way to the car I watched Charlie as he walks to a red... or pink car, I put the stuff into the back and sat inside turning the heat on, it was really cold.
I continue to watch Charlie as the music that reminded me of mom was turned off, he looks back at me while smiling, I wish I knew what he was saying right now, hopefully not introducing me!
Two girls approach the car and Charlie helps them with their many bags, I stopped watching waiting for him to get back here already.
"Good kids" Charlie said getting into the car. I didn't want to know. Finally we drove out and got something to eat at the same old diner, it did feel good not having to cook for a bit.
A/N; Geez, Guys sorry for the poopish chapter! Hopefully the next one will be exciting *winkwink*
