*phew * finally looking around my new room, I'm feeling kinda proud of myself for what I've done with the place. To be fair there wasn't really much to with it, to begin with considering the size of it, but still.
But I definitely need to get some curtains for the window, the only window in my room didn't have any, which is kind of annoying but nothing a quick stop at a store can't fix.
I've also put up my books on the shelves and tried to get all my old pictures around my room sorted, so they now look rather nice on the walls.
Hearing a car horn from outside I looked out the window and saw two guys talking with my dad together with a red rustic-looking truck, the man in the wheelchair seemed familiar, guess I should go greet them.
Stepping down the stairs I remembered something didn't dad say that he had a surprise for me when I come downstairs, guess I will find out shortly
Walking out onto the parking lot and up to them, my dad noticed me and thankfully introduced me, so I didn't have to, I'm always awkward in first meetings.
''Bella, you remember Billy Black?'' Well, only by face, it's been a long time.
Shaking his outstretched hand, ''Yeah… you're looking good''
''hm I'm still dancing I'm glad you're finally here Charlie hasn't shut up about it since we're told you were coming'' Billy said jokingly
Looking at dad, I saw him roll his eyes annoyed, I guess he's just as good with affection as I am, I thought with amusement.
''Alright keep exaggerating I'll roll you into the mud'' That got a little chuckle out of me.
''Before I ram you into the ankle'' and with that Billy charged onto dad with his wheelchair it's nice seeing him like that
Now that I'm alone with what I can only guess must be Jacob I started looking him over, he has grown over the time I was away, I nearly didn't recognize him
*ahem * ''I…ah…I'm Jacob seems like he's feeling as awkward as me right now.
''yeah…'' I hate this.
''We ah…we used to make mud pies when we were little'' …? Huh
''Right I remember'' honestly it's all just a mishmash of memories
After my answer, he gave me a little laugh I really don't know what else to say I haven't seen or talked to him for ages, so he's basically a stranger to me maybe some humor could break the ice.
''Are we always like this?'' best I could do
''ahh it's getting worse with old age''
''oh great'' someone save me, it seems like my prayer has been answered in the form of my dad
''So…what do you think'' he said while slapping the back of the truck with his hand think what…oh right they aren't mind readers Bella
''think what?''
''Your homecoming present'' huh what
''this!?''a car I'm really getting a car
''Just bought it of Billy here'' I can't believe it ''Yep'' Billy added to my dad's statement
''I totally rebuild the engine for you'' Jacob added as well wow I don't really know what to say I'm not good with accepting presents, I never was.
''Come on'' I exclaimed ecstatically ''Oh my gosh'' with that I open the door of the truck, hitting Jacob with it in the process ''sorry'' don't laugh
''told you shed love it'' I heard Billy say from outside to my dad, ''I'm down with the kids''
Just before I closed the door, Dad's sarcastic ''Oh yeah, you're the bomb'' came through
Now, after another uncomfortable conversation with Jacob and a round of thanking everyone for everything, I'm lying in bed. I still can't believe that I've now got a car. Yeah, to some it might look ugly, but I didn't care this car is freedom my freedom, ormaybe I'm over exaggerating
Turning on my bedside lamp I crawled under the covers and pulled out the book I'm reading right now wuthering height 'the entire world is a collection of memoranda that she did exist, and that I have lost her'
With that quote on my mind, I put the book away and turned off my light I'm scared and excited at the same time for tomorrow if that's even possible.
Closing my eyes and letting myself be consumed by darkness, I couldn't shake the feeling that tomorrow I will finally find my missing puzzle piece.
Author Note: So this was the second Chapter of the rewrite I'm trying to make the story develop slower than before, let me know if you feel it's too slow or maybe too fast
