Here's chapter 2! I really hope this is better than my last attempt but I guess it couldn't be worse. As always, I do not own anything, plot, character (Except Nessarose) or songs used! If I did, I wouldn't be typing this on a work computer! Enough of my rambling, onto the show!


DING! I stirred awake as the loudspeaker started blaring out, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking, we are now starting our descent into Seattle, Washington."

I sighed and started to tune him out. I looked out the window and sure enough, rain. "Well, I'm gonna have to get used to that." I muttered to myself.

The plane landed and some people clapped, I'll never understand why people do that. I mean, it's just their job. I used to have a job as a cashier and no one ever gave us a stand ovation when we gave them their receipt.

I got up and grabbed my stuff from the overhead. The people in front of me were moving like zombies off the plane. "Come on! I would like to get off before the day is over!" Finally, I was able to escape the plane and walked into the lobby.

I avoided the kids hugging parents and lovers embracing. I groaned and looked around for a police car. No, not because I was in trouble, far from it, Charlie's the chief of police up in Forks and it's such a small town that that's his normal car.

Suddenly, I saw a man with a mustache leaning against a Forks cop car. "Dad!" I smiled and walked up to him. He smiled widely as he saw me and ran up to me, hugging me tightly.

"Hey Bella!" He smiled. We helped me get my stuff into the car and started driving us down. We had four hours to talk but we really didn't really have much to say. I grabbed my phone and started playing Phantom of the Opera as we drove down the highway.

About two hours in, he finally broke the silence. "Your hair is longer." Was my dad always this awkward?

My music had turned to Les Miserables by that point, I took out one headphone and looked at my hair. "I cut it since the last time I saw you." I said, unsure how else to respond.

He looked back at the road, embarrassed. "Guess it grew back again." He laughed halfheartedly then said nothing else. I put back in my headphone and returned to my Les Mis for the rest of the ride.

We got into town around 8 pm, it was a bit dark but I saw the sign "THE CITY OF FORKS WELCOMES YOU. 'Well I feel honored' I thought to myself. I looked around as we drove through town, it's so brown and muggy.

"There's no sun." I muttered to myself.

Charlie somehow heard me and smiled softly. "You're not in Arizona anymore Bell."

I smiled softly "No kidding." We laughed a bit and I looked back out at the town, if you could call it that.

We got to his house and got out of the car. I looked at the house with a sigh, it was a small white house with red trim around it. There was a tree swing in the front yard I used to play on as a kid and behind the house is a huge forest where Charlie and I used to play hide and seek.

"Bells?" My father broke through my remancising. I looked over at him, "Be careful if you decide to go out into the woods, it's very dangerous right now." I looked into the woods, wondering what could be so bad there. He seemed to read my mind and frowned, "We've had some animal attacks out there. If you do go, come back before dark. That's when they attack most." He walked into the house, taking some of my stuff with him. I smiled softly, staring into the woods. I shook my head and walked into the house.

It wasn't a huge house but it wasn't small either, it had every room connected until it was a circle on the first floor, the hallway in the front of the house leading up to a stairway for the upstairs. I went upstairs and walked into my old room. The crib was replaced by a queen sized bed, my old rocking chair was still in the corner of the room. A desk was right by a window and a wardrobe was across the room. I turned on the lamp on my bedside table and started putting my clothes away. Charlie stayed downstairs and watched some football game. He doesn't hover, I love that about him.

I finished up my clothes and put the suitcase away in the closet. I walked to my bed and grabbed my bag with all my personal stuff from Arizona. I opened the bag and grabbed my sign a F.U.B (fire up buddy, kinda like a Secret Santa but for theater) made me from the musical I was in a couple summers ago called Side Show. I opened the door and put the sign on the hook. A dark red sign saying "Come Look at the Freaks'' stuck out against the white door. I walked back in and went back to my bed.

I looked at the sheets on the bed, a beautiful shade of blue covered it with specks of black and purple. The pillow cases matched the sheets. I smiled and mumbled to myself "Not bad Charlie."

I went into my bag and pulled out my favorite pillow and put it against the blue covered pillows. A small, solid black square pillow with white lettering simply saying 'WE ARE ALL FREAKS' from my favorite season of American Horror Story.

Next to the pillow, I put down my Winnie the Pooh stuffed animal. I've had him ever since I was a baby, I think Charlie got it for me, and he always made me feel safe. Anytime I had a panic attack, I would just hug him and he would somehow sooth me.

I grabbed my sheet music and put it in a couple desk drawers, leaving my favorite book, my Carrie the Musical songbook, out. I grabbed my electric piano and set it in an empty corner in the room, I made sure Charlie knew that I had it before he redid my room. I grabbed Carrie from my desk and set it onto the piano. I sat down on the bench and played a bit of "Dreamer in Disguise." I smiled as I finished halfway and turned around on the bench and smiled at my brand new room. 'Who says I can't decorate?' My inner monologue laughed as I got up, stretching as I did.

I plugged my phone in and started playing Carrie the Musical. I laid down on my bed and texted Nessarose quickly like I promised. "In Forks, miss you already." I put my phone down, knowing she was probably passed out. I turned onto my side and smiled at my piano, my prized possession. It costed me about 400 dollars, I worked for 4 months in order to afford it but I'll never regret the cost. I smiled at the memory and closed my eyes, letting the music take me away.

An hour later, I opened my eyes when someone knocked on the door, "Bells? You hungry?" I heard Dad ask.

I sat up and rubbed my eyes "Yeah… want me to make something?" I got up and grabbed my Batman sweatshirt.

"Y...You don't have to, I was thinking we could go to the diner tonight, you know, for your first day back." Completely awkward as usual. We're so different but in some ways, very alike. He doesn't show emotion well and that's all I ever do. But we both hate being put on the spot and most social situations.

I walked out and saw him leaning against the wall. "Sure." I shrugged. He nodded and we walked out to his car. When we got outside, we saw a red truck pulling into the driveway. I looked at dad and he smiled, walking to the back of the truck and grabbing a wheelchair. A tall tan boy got out of the front seat and smiled at me. He was at least a foot taller than me (Which isn't a shock, given my 5'2 height) His hair was at least up to his shoulders, pulled back in a ponytail.

"Bella!" The boy walked up to me. I waved back politely, still not 100% sure who he is. An older man got out of the car and into the chair.

"Hello Bella!" He smiled and wheeled up to me "Remember me?" I looked closely at the man then smiled.

"Oh yeah! Billy! Nice to see you again." He smiled back, proudly. Billy was my dad's best friend, I remember they would go fishing all the time down at the Reservation.

The young boy gestured to himself, "Remember me Bells?" He asked and winked.

I looked at him closely but couldn't put a name to his face. "I..I guess not. I'm sorry."

He frowned and Billy laughed "Hah! She remembered me more than you Jake!" Charlie laughed along with him and the boy pushed his father away. Charlie grabbed Billy and started messing with him.

"It's Jacob, we used to play when we were little." He smiled at me.

I suddenly remembered all the games we would play together back at the Reservation. "Oh yeah! Jacob, how have you been?!" He smiled widely and hugged me tight, "Jake! I need to breathe!"

He laughed and put me down. "I missed you Bella-Ella!" I smiled at the nickname he gave me when I was little. "Missed you too Jackie!" He glared at me, he was never a huge fan of my little nickname for him.

"You're not cute Bella." He growled, teasingly.

I winked and blew a kiss at him, "You know for a fact I am!"

As we laughed, Charlie and Billy walked and rolled up to him "We were thinking of going to the dinner tonight, if you and Jake want to join us." Charlie smiled.

I looked at Jake, he smiled and shook his head, "I gotta work on my car tonight but maybe another time. But if you wanna come over and help, I won't say no."

I shook my head quickly "No! I am not good with cars or any machine other than a phone and laptop!"

Charlie started laughing, "Yeah, she's kinda pointless with that kind of stuff!"

Everyone started laughing with him and I just stood there. "I'm not very hungry anymore Dad, I'm going upstairs."

Charlie shrugged and turned to Billy. "Alright. Guess it's just you and I Billy."

Billy smiled and wheeled up to me, "Have a good night Bella, hope you enjoy your time here."

I nodded and smiled, "I hope so too. Bye Jake." I turned and walked back inside.

I took off my sweatshirt and shirt and grabbed a tank top and my Snoopy pajama bottoms. I plugged my phone back in, played Into the Woods and got under the covers. l smiled as Bernadette Peters lulled me to sleep.

"You're so nice.

You're not good, you're not bad, You're just nice.

I'm not good, I'm not nice, I'm just right!

I'm The Witch, you're the world!"


Well, there it is! I hope you enjoyed it! Reviews give me life so please let me know how I'm doing! Love you all!
