A New Start
Chapter 2: On The Way.
" Ugh" I groaned as I heard the alarm on my phone sing Sweet Dreams by Beyonce "
turn the lights on…" "ugh" I groaned again as I turned over to turn off the advice I
really didn't want to follow!
" Shit!" I muttered to myself as I lay back down on to my pillows…. I just
remembered that it was my last morning waking up to my ironic alarm (chosen by
James) in Charlie's huge house in The Big Apple… this time tomorrow I'd be
waking up in an unfamiliar house in rainy old Ireland…..
"Bells you up" my dads voice floated up the stairs "Yup just about" I managed to call
back down. "Well if you want to have a shower you might want to get moving. We
have to leave for the airport in an hour" called my dads disembodied voice "okay,
okay I'm going" I shouted back down the stairs!
I quickly gathered up the enthusiasm to collect my shower stuff and make my way
across my bedroom to my en-suite. In less than five minutes I was ready to get in the
shower. I stood under the strong power of the water and let my mind wander to what
was waiting for me across the Atlantic Ocean… As much as I hate to admit it I was
kind of excited at the thought of it!
After my shower I got dressed in my comfy slouch white jeans, a tight navy top and
my JLS hoodie! I went over to my make-up table and I quickly applied some eyeliner
and a few coats of mascara. I pulled my hair up into a messy bun and I made my way
down stairs.
"Morning Hun" said dad when I walked I walked into the kitchen. Dad surprisingly
had breakfast waiting for me "aw dad you didn't have to" I told him as I sat down in
my usual seat at the island "Isabella Marie Swan this is your last morning in New
York so I WAS NOT going to let you make your own breakfast!" my dad told me
emotionally "thanks Dad. Its great!" I said as I reached over and hugged him.
After breakfast I went upstairs to bring my bags down stairs and put them into my
Dads car. Dad followed me outside and got into the car and I followed his example as
he started the car…
It took us 20 minutes to reach JFK. Between me and dad we managed to unload all
my stuff "seriously Bells do you really need all this stuff…. I mean they do have
shops in Ireland!" Charlie said. "dad why buy new stuff when I have all this perfectly
good stuff right here" I retorted " Bells all I'm saying is that these bags are going to
be pretty hard and annoying to lug around Dublin airport" he shot back at me! "I'll be
perfectly ok"
"Ladies and Gentlemen the 10 00 flight to Dublin, Ireland is available to check onto
now" a voice said over the intercom as we walked into the airport. "I guess that's me"
I turned and said to Charlie "yup I'm afraid it is kiddo" he replied glumly…..
We both walked up to the check in desk together "hi how can I help you?" the guy behind the counter asked with a smile.
"hey" I replied "I need to check-in" "sure no problem. What's your name?
how many bags do you have?" behind the counter guy asked " I'm Bella Swan and I've got 5 bags!"
I said back to him "whoa you must be going on a long holiday" he said surprised "I wish…. No I'm moving over there to live with my mum"
"oh right best of luck over there. A pretty girl like you should make friends pretty quickly" he smiled supportively "thanks"
I smiled back and I went off with Charlie.
" He was right you know. You will make friends quickly" Charlie said, his face lighting up a little "I know me and your mother don't get on, we do have a good reason but she loves you to
bits Bella. Never doubt that!" "Thanks dad" I replied "me and mom will get on fine and if we don't well were not much different from most mothers and teenagers!" "I hope so Bella" he
said chuckling!
We arrived at boarding gate I turned to Charlie to find him with tears in his eyes "oh dad" I cried throwing my arms around him "I'm going to miss you loads! I love you!"
"I love you as well Bella! I'm going to miss you too! We will both be fine! Chin up Hun!" he said to me as much as I could tell he was trying to keep the tears in but he wasn't exactly
succeeding "next please" the person at the gate said in a bored voice "That's you sorry Hun! I love you. Call me when you get there!" dad told me "course I will dad. I love you too. Bye" I
said as I stepped away from him "thanks Bells! Bye!" he said as I stepped up to the person and handed over my boarding pass.
As I walked over to the duty-free I looked over my shoulder to see my dad looking lost in a big sea of laughing, chatting people I felt so sorry for him. I quickly took out my iphone and
sent him a quick text message….
I love you Dad.
Will call you when I arrive.
Missing you already!
