Chapter 2
My parents are Chief Charlie Swan & Renee Dwyer & they were married to each other once. They split up when I was about three years old. Charlie my dad never remarried or dated that I knew of & my mom Renee remarried when I was about 15 years old. Phil Dwyer is a very nice man but he is younger than my mom by several years. Phil is a Major League Baseball player, playing for god only knows what team & traveling all around. I could tell that my mom was missing Phil so I decided to go & live with Charlie when I was 17 years old. Charlie lives in Forks, WA.
Forks is a one horse town that everything shuts down by 9 pm & it rains there more than half the year. Not big thunderstorms but just a nice soaking rain where everything is nice and green. I like the rain now & Forks. Last place that I lived was with Renee in Phoenix, AZ. It was always hot there & it never rained. I was always sunburned & life was more rush rush. Life here in Forks is nice & slow & everybody knows your name & your personal business.
