Moving from California to Washington was something I never thought I'd do.

I was on the terminal to board the plane to Port Angeles.

A feeling of melancholy surrounded me as I thought of my Gran.

She had told me that I would be finishing my schooling at Forks, Washington. I would be living with my father, Charlie, who agreed to let me live with him.

I was planning on living in California until it was time for college, but Gran had made me promise to spend my last year of high school in Forks.

The mere thought of living with my birth father was uncomfortable.

I had many opportunities to meet with the man, but I never dared. It wasn't because of nerves, but because I never had an interest.

After the incident involving Renée, I had the choice of living with my Grandmother or Charlie. I chose Gran because she was the closest thing I had to my mother.

Gran had tried to encourage me to visit Charlie during the summer, but I always refused. The mere topic of my birth father made me flinch.

Charlie was just the man that helped bring me into this world.

It sounds mean, but it was the truth.

Boarding the plane, I thought about how different I became. Since the death of Renée, I became antisocial. I was introverted around my peers and often shunned people.

As I stepped onto the plane, my suppressed memories and pain started resurfacing. My heart started to beat faster. Quickly, I sat on the seat closest to the window. I gripped my armrest and dug my nails into its leather surface. Gritting my teeth, I started counting to a hundred while shutting my eyes tightly.

Anyone who saw me might have thought I was acrophobic.

I sighed as I made myself comfortable in my seat.

The plane started to take off.

I looked out and saw the pitter-patter of rain droplets that touched my window. I thought about why this had to happen as I took one last look at California.

With a sorrowing heart, I left for my new home in Forks.
