Phoenix Arizona…. Where I had called home practically my entire life. The sun burnt lands of cactus and little grass. I loved the warmth, though you would never tell with my pale complexion. It didn't help that my hair was died black, that gave my appearance an even lighter shade of colour I already lacked. I was fairly short to most people, standing five foot four and slender.

"Isa, come on." Came my friend Georgia. She held out a joint to me, as she laid in the arms of her boyfriend. I walked over, taking a deep inhale, holding it, then exhaling. I looked at her, my world already slightly spinning.
"You know what I think we should do?!" She said looking at me as I finished the last of my blueberry vodka. I smirked as I tripped over my own feet, landing on top of her.

"What's that?" I asked, giggling. She pushed me off lightly before standing.
"Torch old Mikey's car." She said grabbing her lighter. I smirked as I held my hands out to her. She helped me to my feet.
"Well?" She asked looking at her boy toy. Chris stood.
"I'll get the fuel. My dad has a tank of gas in the shed. He'll never know." He said to us. We laughed as we followed him back to the small house. He jumped his fence to the backyard. I wrapped my arms around Georgia.
"You know, that stupid old man won't know what hit him." Georgia said smiling. She pressed her mouth into mine in pure excitement.
"Well, one night of hell for the daily detentions… seems fair!" I said to her, hugging her tighter. Don't take that as us being gay. No, we kissed, a lot, but that was all it ever was. She was completely in love with Chris, and me, well I didn't truly know what love was.

"Catch!" Chris shouted, throwing over a small tin can. Georgia caught it, as we waited for Chris to climb back over. We laughed as we walked the three blocks to our principles house, joking about old Mikey and what he'd look like walking to school.

Chris smiled bright, as he took the can, emptying the contents over the top of the car, while Georgia lit up her lighter. She dramatically looked into the flame as Chris had made a small trail for her to light up. We watched as the flames raced to the car, engulfing the car in seconds.
"Run!" Chris shouted, grabbing Georgia's hand. I followed behind, as we bolted from the scene.
We collapsed on the ground at a park nearby, watching the trails of smoke. All of us panted a little before Chris erupted.

"That was fucking awesome!" Chris cheered. Georgia laughed, cheering loudly herself. I watched the trails, feeling a little unsure. I looked at Chris as he made out with Georgia while took out a syringe. I looked away, never having done the hard stuff. I knew he'd inject himself and then Georgia.
"Yo, Chris, and ladies." Came a voice. We looked up to see Robbie Smith, a guy that was in our grade.
"Yo, Robbie." Chris greeted. Robbie looked at me.
"You know Isa, you still haven't given me that kiss you promised." He said winking. I looked at him.
"Third grade…. You seriously expect me to keep that? There are time limits to things like that." I said crossing my arms. He grinned, taking out a joint and lighting it.
"You want a puff?" He asked holding it out a little. I was already drunk and half stoned, so I nodded. He held it to him.
"Kiss me, and you can have it." He said to me. I eyed him for a moment, before I slowly stood, walking to him. He smirked down at me as I slowly pressed my mouth into his. His hand slid to my back, holding me there as we kissed. I slowly broke away and held out my hand. He smirked, handing over the smoke.

"Pleasure doing business with you." I stated, sitting back and taking a draw. He shook his head.
"Is that all I am to you? Business?" He enquired. I shrugged, not really caring.

By midnight, I was passed out. I only awoke to strong arms grabbing me and scooping me up.
"She's completely out of it. Renee is gonna lose it." I ignored the comment, snuggling into the chest of whoever held me.
"Let's get her home. I'm actually surprised her mates aren't here. They just left her here in the field unconscious." Came a second voice.
"Some mates." Said the first.

I woke to my head pounding. I slowly opened my eyes, taking note I was in my room. I slowly pushed back my covers and walked into my bathroom. I stripped off my black jeans and t-shirt, stepping in under the shower.

"How can you be so stupid, Isabella Marie Swan!" Came my mother's voice. I flinched at the raised tones.
"Can you keep it down?! My head is killing me." I said shutting off the water. Mum held out a pack of Advil.
"This is the last straw Bella. It's off to your fathers." She turned on her heal, and walked out. I rolled my eyes.
"The ship me to my father's threat…. That's so lame. We both know you won't follow through." I said slamming the bathroom door. Mum opened it.
"Oh yes I am. Pack your things. You have a flight booked for Forks tonight." She yelled. I shook my head, walking back to my bed and collapsing. Not believing a word she said. I laid listening to her curse about me to who I assumed was her husband, Phil.

It was only a few minutes later, there was a knock on my door. I stood wrapped in my towel, and opened it. Phil stood in my door way.
"Bella, you may want to get dressed. There are some police here, and they are asking for you." His voice was serious, and he seemed a little unsure. I pushed passed him in nothing but my towel. I stopped at the lounge room to see two officers. They were standing with mum.
"Bella Swan, you are wanted down at the station. Please get dressed, and we'll escort you." One said looking at me. My heart began to race. I quickly turned on the spot, walking to my bedroom. I pulled on a black t-shirt and a pair of black jeans. Most of my attire was black and that's the way I liked it. I slipped on my converse. Mum walked in.
"What did you do last night?" Mum hissed under her breath. I shrugged.
"I don't remember…. Honest." I said a little unsure. She followed me out, as the police walked me to their car. I looked at mum and Phil. Mum was talking to Phil quickly, before getting in her own car. One of the officers walked back to Phil. I watched as Phil walked back inside, only to return with a bag of my clothes I'd worn the night before. I looked down, suddenly flashing back to my principles car.
"Oh shit…"

I sat in a small room, waiting. Two men walked in with mum.
"Because you are a minor, your mother is going to sit in the room." They told me. One placed my clothes on the table.
"Are the clothes you wore last night?" One asked. I slowly nodded.
"Are you aware, at about ten-thirty last night, your Principle, Mr Mikeson's car was torched?" He asked. I bit my lip.
"We have already arrested two other people in relation to this incident." He said to me.
"I didn't torch it…. I didn't touch a thing." I said softly.
"Bella…." Mum said looking at me. I ignored her gaze, not wanting to see the disappointment.
"Your friend, Christopher Langdon says otherwise." He said to me.
"I didn't…. you can check my clothes. Chris poured the fuel, and Georgia lit it…. I just watched… You have my clothes…. Check it yourself. There won't be a splash of fuel or anything…" I looked down, avoiding all eyes.
"Georgia, Georgia who?" They suddenly asked. I looked up.
"What do you mean Georgia who? Georgia Connel" I said a little confused.
"We have Christopher Langdon and a Robert Smith. Both said you fuelled and torched the car as a dare. No one has mentioned a Georgia Connel." They said looking at me. I looked at them in shock.
"Robbie wasn't even there! It was Georgia's idea! Chris stole his dad's fuel, and tipped it over the car. Georgia lit it with her metal lighter she carries. It was only after we went back to the park, Robbie turned up." I said crossing my arms. I looked at mum, who was shaking her head in disbelief.
"Mum, I swear…. I didn't do it." I said fighting the tears. One of the officers pushed a pad in front of me.
"Your statement." He said to me. I took a pen and began writing the incident.
"Is she facing chargers?" Mum asked as I wrote out my statement.
"We will be picking up Miss Connel, and hearing her story. If she verifies what Isabella has said, then no. She was just a standby." One stood, walking out. I sat with mum for three hours.

"I just can't believe you did this…." Mum said to me. I looked at her.
"I didn't though…. I didn't do it…." I said looking at her.
"I'm sorry Bella, but when we get home, you are to remain in your bedroom, until tonight. Phil has already started packing your room. You are going to Charlie's." She looked away at me. Tears fell down my face.
"I promise… I will stop… Please don't send me away…." I begged. Mum shook her head.
"I can't handle you, and I will not risk losing Phil. I love you, but he's my husband Bella. You are effecting his work, his life…. You were an amazing little girl, wild and loving… I don't know when that changed." She stopped talking as an officer walked in.
"It must be your lucky day miss Swan." The officer said to me. I looked at him.
"Miss Connel has confirmed your story. Mr Langdon and Miss Connel have been charged. You on the other hand, are free to go. We may however need you as a witness." Mum stood up, grabbing hold of my shoulder. As I walked out, Georgia was standing with her father. She looked at me with tears in her eyes.
"I'm sorry Bella. I would never let Chris lie to save me. You're my best friend. I pleaded guilty… You didn't do it…" She whispered. I nodded.
"Enough Georgia." Her dad snapped. He turned to Renee.
"Renee, I would prefer if our daughters were no longer friends." He stated. Mum nodded.
"You will not have to worry about that. After what's happened today and last night…. Bella will no longer be living with us. She is going to live with her father." Renee said to him. Mum grabbed my arm, pulling me away. Georgia cried as she watched me leave.

I cried the entire way home. Like mum had told me, my room was basically packed when I entered. I sat on my bed, my tears soaking into the mattress. I looked at the three suitcases. I knew she was serious this time, and I had no choice. I would soon be leaving Phoenix to live in Forks with Charlie.

At five thirty, mum walked in with Phil. They grabbed a suitcase each. I slowly picked the last up and followed them to mum's car. Phil placed in the suitcases and then turned to me.
"Bye Bella. Safe trip." I nodded as I sat in the front seat. I cried as mum hugged him goodbye.

I was silent the entire hour drive to the airport. Mum didn't speak either. She pulled up, and walked to get a trolley. I stood watching her pull my bags out of the car. I followed her into the airport. She took out an air ticket, finding my terminal.

"Your flight leaves shortly. Let's check your luggage in." She said to me.

"What about the police… they said I may be needed in court." I said softly.
"They will contact me and if you are needed, I will sort that out with Charlie." She stated, not looking at me. I nodded, following her as she made her way to luggage check-in. I watched as my bags were tagged, and placed on a conveyer belt. She then walked me to my gate. Tears fell as I looked at her. I couldn't help noticing how much I looked like her, when my hair wasn't dyed. The only difference was I had Charlie's dark brown eyes.

She pulled me into a hug quickly.
"I love you Bella…. Try." She said softly. She pressed my ticket into my hand before walking away quickly. I stood there sobbing as she left me behind.

"Next please." I slowly turned and looked at the women taking the tickets. I held it out to her. She pressed in a stamp, before I walked towards the plane. I looked back to see if Renee had stayed to see me leave, but she was gone. Tears blinded me, as I made my way onto the plane and to my seat. I stared out at the Phoenix airport, watching as my home got smaller and smaller, till I could no longer see it. My mother had actually done it. She was sending me to my father, who I had not seen since I was ten years old. Six years was an awful long time not to see someone, and I couldn't help wondering how living with Charlie would change me. After all, what did Charlie know about raising a daughter?

Well that's the first Chapter all dusted! What do you guys think? Don't think this is gonna be a bad Bella. She's just lost her way a little and the move to Forks will definitely do her some good ;) Feel free to review. I do like hearing from you readers thanks for reading and I will post again soon

Love Me xo
