Chapter 2

Bella's POV

6 years earlier

"Hi dad."

"Bella! I barely recognized you! You've grown a lot since the last time I saw you."

I hugged my dad who looked a little lost and uncomfortable.

He, too, was nervous. This was new for both of us. We probably would need some time to get to know each other again, but we would work it out.

"Can I help you with your luggage?", he asked kindly.

"Yes, that would be great.", I answered and smiled.

So, he took my big violet suitcase and one of my heavy backpacks and headed toward the exit. I followed him, silently.

After we had put my luggage in his police car, he asked me the usual questions.

"How's Renee?"

"Fine. She and Phil make a sweet couple. They love each other a lot.", I answered. He paused for a moment.

"And, how about you Bella?", he asked nervously. "Do you have a boyfriend?"

I grinned. Of course he had to ask this question.

"No."

"And do you have any special hobbies?", he asked with an insecure undertone.

I was actually happy he asked. He really seemed to be interested.

"Yes. I like investigating a lot. But not like you do as a police officer. More like a journalist. That's what I have already dreamed of when I was eight. In Phoenix, I wrote for our school magazine with three other students. It was a lot of fun and also very interesting. Of course, a school magazine is nothing compared to a real magazine, but I can't think about anything else. Because of that, I already signed up for the school magazine in Forks. I don't want to get out of "shape", you know?
I really want to be a journalist, one day."

"Wow, Bella.", he stuttered.

"That sounds amazing. I am happy for you. You already know what you want to do with your life, that's good. I'm sure, you'll be a great journalist in a few years."

"Thanks dad.", I answered surprised.

Normally, he isn't a man of many words. This was already a lot for Charlie Swan.

After that our conversation kind of died for the remaining drive.

I used the time to look out the window. Forks was different than Phoenix. Very different.

The weather was cloudy, wet and cold. But the landscape was beautiful. Big woods (they seemed to be endless), crystal clear rivers and mountains.

But after a while I got bored. Everything looked alike.

So, I started to watch my dad.

My dad, Charlie, hasn't changed much since the last time I have seen him.

He still had a moustache, his brown eyes looked lovely but also tired and his hear had gone a little bit grey. But all in all, he still was the same man. I tried to imagine what he had done the last ten years. Has he always been alone?

Or was there another wife after my mother?

I would find out soon.

It was already dark when we arrived at my new-old home and the first thing I did was looking for a wifi signal.

I only had a few friends in Phoenix, so I didn't want to lose them just because I have moved to Forks, and because of that I made a little promise to myself:
Write a report about your new life, every day.

And I didn't want to break that promise, especially not at my first day. So I opened my laptop and wrote a short report about the flight, Charlie and how I felt at the moment.

The idea for it gave me, one of my two best friends, Sophie. She and my second best friend, Joshua, are a couple. But that's not awkward for us anymore. In the beginning of their romance it was kind of strange but after a while we got used to it.

And now they are already a couple for more than one year! How time flies…

After I have sent the report to my two best friends I jumped on the bed and looked around in my new room.

My room was small, but it had everything I needed.

A wooden desk, a pin board with some old photos and paintings of my childhood on it, two little windows and my bed.

The bed was, of course, not the same. Charlie had bought a new one for me and I liked it a lot. It was bigger than my bed in Phoenix.

"Bella! Dinner is ready!", Charlie interrupted my thoughts about home.

"I'm coming!".

I went downstairs into the kitchen and set down at the same place at the table as years ago.

Charlie has made lasagne. The smell was amazing! I suddenly realized how hungry I actually was.

I thanked him and we ate in silence. After we have finished, I cleaned up and then decided that it would be a good time to ask him a few questions.

At first, he was a little bit surprised about my curiosity, but after a while he got used to it and we talked for over two hours.

I enjoyed it. We laughed together and he told me everything I wanted to know about him.

He never had another wife after my mother, he likes fishing, he loves his job, he nearly knows everyone in town, he watches baseball every Saturday, he cooks always for himself (which he is very proud of) and he still listens to the music he had already listened to as a teenage boy.

When I was in Phoenix I didn't really miss him, but while we set there, in the kitchen, I realised that I do had missed him. He was funnier than I had in mind and he was very kind.

He told me about the Forks high school, where it is, how the kids are acting there, who of the teachers are strict and of course he told me with whom I shouldn't speak.

I think, he was afraid I would fall in love with a criminal drug addicted boy who would inseminate me immediately. But I didn't take that very serious, because these are probably typically concerns of a normal dad.

I went to bed and I tried not to think, too much, about the next day. My first day at Forks High School.

Although my dad has already told me a lot about the school I was worried a bit.

Will I find some friends?
Will I be forever "the new one"?

I put in my headphones and tried to calm down. Music always helps me to relax.

And after a while I fell asleep and dreamed about babies, food, earthquakes and planes.

Just a typical Bella Swan-dream.
