CHAPTER 2

George insisted on following me through the airport until we got to the terminal where the rest of my luggage was. I was really starting to get annoyed.

"Yeah thanks George." I said as he handed me my bags.

George was a nice guy, and God bless this man for putting up with me through that flight, but he was hovering; and I hate people who hover. At this point my long brown hair was dirty, I had huge bruise like bags under my eyes, but those had been there for a while. My shirt was wrinkled and my jeans were getting really uncomfortable. I needed to get home so I could have my nightly meltdown.

Home, psh yeah right! I thought Knox is not and never will be my home.

I liked to think of it more as a temporary living condition, bad living conditions, but still a place to live. I would much rather be at my real home, my brick house, one story, simple but homey. Where the sun actually shined! But I couldn't go home; my home was gone just like all of my friends' homes were too. Despite this nightly routine I have never been a crier. Before the accident I rarely cried and never in front of people. I'm more of the "suffer in silence" type. (AN: I know it was in the movie, but it's true I am)

"Bye Mary, I hope to see you around town." George said as he turned to leave.

"Wait, George!" I called to his retreating figure.

"Yes?" he turned around.

"Well, um, I never fully introduced myself. My name is Mary Isabella Swan;" I blushed and looked down. "But the reason I wanted you to know is I think I'm going to go by Bella now, you know to start over?"

"Oh, yes I think that sounds like a good idea Mar-Bella. Sorry that is going take me a minuet." He replied.

"Yeah well thanks for putting up with me." I replied blushing.

Jeez what the heck is wrong with me, blushing and practically stuttering? Who am I? I thought to myself. "I never used to be this shy," I mean I wasn't the most outgoing girl in my group of friends, but I never stuttered or blushed this much.

I stumbled slightly as my vision got blurry and I lost hold of my luggage momentarily. I quickly realized it was because I was crying. But I knew why, when George had stuttered my name it came out sounding like "Marybella." The same name I heard every night. Today was the first time in 2 months I had heard it out loud.

"Holy crow," I cursed. "I am a emotional wreck!" I stated in my mind. I frantically wiped away the rest of the unshed tears as I gathered my luggage again. I continued walking until I came to a hallway lined with people embracing each other, I stopped and looked around. It took me a total of 3 minuets to spot Charlie; this is because he was holding a neon pink poster board that said MARY SWAN in big, bold, caps. I blushed cherry red as I made my way towards him.

"Hey Bella," he smiled. "Uh hi Chr-Dad" I responded. This was another difference between my parents, my dad has called me Bella ever since I was a baby, he said it was because I was a beautiful baby. My mom on the other hand, being the good Catholic girl she is, prefered my first name, Mary. She says its a special name for a special girl.

"Okay, well lets get you stuff in the car and head to the house. I was thinking of ordering Chinese, is that um okay?" He asked hesitantly, picking up on my mood. "It's okay

Dad, Chinese won't set me off on a tantrum. I'm past the fragile stage; and yes Chinese sounds good." I chuckled slightly at his caution.

Finally! I thought, I'm starting to act more like myself!

We got to Charlie's house 2 hours later; seeing as Knox is too small to have its own airport, the closest airport is in Grand Portage. He carried my stuff upstairs to the spare bedroom that would now be mine, and left me to unpack. This is why I love my Dad so much; he doesn't hover. I spent the rest of the evening unpacking and eating beef and broccoli.

Around 10'oclock I ran downstairs tripping along the way and said goodnight to Charlie. After that I went back upstairs, and for the first time in 2 months fell asleep without crying.

OOOoOOOoOOOoOOOoOOOoOOOoOOOoOOOoOOOoOOOoOOOoOOOoOOOoOOOoO

Yay! Woo hoo! That was awesome!!!!

Ok guys, I am so so so so so so sorry that I stopped updating. At first it was because I wanted to change the story, then school got in the way, and finally I realized no one was reading it anyway. But I noticed the other day that it has actually been read like 50 times; so I decided to upload the chapter. I will continue to write and update consistently this summer if not for readers, then for self-satisfaction.

*notice I did change the story around a little she is now living with Charlie instead of an uncle. ALSO Phill and Renee are the parent/stepparent she left, not BOTH of her biological parents. I just thought I would write that again in case somebody missed it at the top.

So expect to see more of me in the future. I also have an idea and half-story for Buffy the Vampire Slayer but I'm not sure if I'm going to post it. Its kind of a song fic to Michelle Branch's Here with Me and I like the idea I'm just not sure if anyone else will like it.

So I also need a review…. I want to know that someone cares about this other than me. So one review would be nice. Don't worry I'm not going to do anything stupid like hold a chapter hostage…. I don't know about you guys, but that always pisses me off when a good story is with held b/c there aren't enough reviews.

Until next time!!!!!
