Prologue
"Are you sure you want to go, Bells?"
Sighing, I turned and looked at Renee, my mom, who peered at me with weariness in her chocolate hued irises. I looked more like my dad, Charlie, than I did with her. I was a mixture of them, so people would know we were related whether or not they officially knew it. She had her hands intertwined awkwardly, she was a dwarf compared to me in height and she was dressed in a white V-neck blouse with short sleeves, dark washed jean shorts and a pair of brown leather flip flops. Her dark brown hair fell around her shoulders, while I had chopped my hair into a pixie haircut not that long after Renee had married my stepdad, Phil.
We were currently in the airport of Phoenix, and I was about to head off to Forks (a small town that was in the Northwest Olympic Peninsula) to live with Charlie. To say the least I knew that things had been awkward between Charlie and I ever since I came out as Aro and told him that I didn't form romantic relationships with people. He had still been hoping that I would end up dating my godbrother, Jacob Black, from the Reservation next to town.
I shuffled awkwardly this time. I had no idea if this was really what I wanted.
I would be with a dad who tried to think that my sexuality (or lack of) was something that could randomly change one day. Renee had recently gotten remarried in September to a minor league baseball player named Phil Dwyer.
He was a decent man, a bit younger than Renee was, and he was not against having a stepdaughter. I just never felt the need to bond with him and I thought both him and Renee needed to have some time with each other so I would move to Forks to be with my chief-of-police dad. I would spend the rest of my junior year in the small town with only three thousand and something people instead of the thousands upon thousands of people that lived in Phoenix.
The sound of the intercom going on and claiming that boarding would happen soon when it came to my airplane soon broke Renee from repeating herself. I plastered a warm smile towards Renee despite the fact that I didn't feel as though smiling was something that was appropriate.
Well maybe it would have been if we had a better relationship with each other. She hadn't said anything to me, but it was obvious that she hated how I was Aro and she wouldn't get to have me experience 'normal things' like 'normal people' would do. I heard her whispering this during wine night to her friend on the phone, thinking that I had gone ahead and gone to bed. I didn't go to her and demand an explanation, I merely shook my head in disappointment before I went to bed, knowing I was right all along.
"I have to go, Mom. I'll email you when I get to Forks."
Renee nodded her head, before I spun on my heel and walked away from her. I didn't know that I would soon find a true family that understood me more than my parents did.
