So yeah this is pretty much a South of Nowhere but in Twilight form. My version tweaked in but still keeping it with characters from both show/movie involved. I dont really care if people have done this version before. Im gonna start one as well, and finish it and such. Soooo yeah. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own South of Nowhere or Twilight.
Why must I be so nice, so easy going.
Its not a total bust, but I guess in this situation it is.
Heres where im taking this:
Let me start off, im Spencer Carlin. Daughter of the now divorced parents, Arthur and Paula.
My mom at the moment though is beginning to start her new life in Florida with her newlywed guy, Ben Montanio. Im happy for her, don't get me wrong. Divorces are just not a walk in the park.
But life goes on.
Anyways, on the otherhand, she recently started to beg me to go with her and Ben to the new house in Florida where she and him got jobs in the Miami local hospital.
It was tempting in some ways but I definitely was not up for being a third wheel. This is where I brought up my dad.
Arthur, my dad (duh), lives in Forks, Washington state. I convinced my mom to let me live with him, since I have been living with her since him and mom split, at the beginning of my high school life.
Luckily she agreed.
I have a brother, Glenn, but he lives with his new fiancé, Chelsea, in New York.
Regardlessly;
Id be leaving my hometown, Los Angeles California, but I could use a break from the fast paced city.
"Make sure you call me Spencer once you reach your fathers house, okay?" I roll my eyes to myself as we wait for my flight to be called in LAX.
"No problem mom." She gives me a 'im serious look' while Ben creates a smirk on his face behind her.
"Good," she kisses my forehead lightly, making my blonde hair come out of place from the usual straight styled signature.
Ha straight, about that…
I think you can catch on.
As I was saying, I gave them each one last hug before we went our separate ways.
Flight 203 to Forks Washington is now boarding.
On cue, I grabbed my carry on bags and walked towards my flight entrance. I turn around once more and look at LA for the last time. The sun was shining quite bright for a Sunday morning. I smile to myself and continued to walk. Los Angeles sunshine could never get too old.
But Forks' wet dreary weather was depressing as ever.
My flight took about one hour, going in from sun to gray clouds left and right. I stood outside of the Forks Airport waiting for my dad to pull up. After ten minutes a police car pulls up with blinking lights on.
"Blonde lady with the many bags and suitcases, please stand where you are."
Uhm, what the hell? I say to myself looking around. I give the unidentified man in the police car a scrunched up look of confusion as he talked on the outer intercom of the car.
The guy comes out of his car and began to walk towards the back of the vehicle. That's when I finally see a familiar face.
"Dad!" I run up to him giving the guy a big hug laughing.
"Surprised you there huh Spence?" He says chuckling. I let go of him and start smiling and shaking my head.
"Wow, I didn't know you became a police officer. Pretty impressive." He gives me a crooked smile.
"Want to know something even more impressive?" I look over waiting for the rest of the sentence.
"Im the sheriff of the town." He says proudly, doing a cliché version of superman placing his hands on his hips.
"That is impressive, just not your stance." His face drops. I let out a small laugh.
Oh how much I missed him.
"Since that is over, lets get out of here and head home shall we?" I nod and grab a few lighter bags and put it in the backseat while he took the heavier items.
Once all my belongings were in, we took off.
"So how have you been kiddo?" My dad is such an easy person to talk to. That's probably one of the reasons I missed him.
"Ive been alright, just chilling I suppose." He nods his head a bit.
"Anything new lately, besides the fact youre all grown up?" He gives me a smile as he continues driving down the semi wet streets of the town.
"Not that I can think. I got my license?" I say in attempt to answer the question.
"That is actually pretty good news. I have a welcoming gift in relation to that." My eyes go in surprise.
"No way dad. Really?" He nods his head again grinning. I lean back in my seat relaxed.
Not even half a day in this state and im already getting a car.
"So, what about the dating life? Any girls I should know of?" He gives me a sly look and I laugh and shake my head.
"No dad, no one has filled that category yet."
Brings me back to my "straight hair..blah blah" comment.
"Good. Your still daddys little girl and im not ready to let you go yet." He reaches over with one hand on the steering wheel and messes up my hair a little bit.
"Yeah, yeah dad." I swat his hand away and look out the window.
After ten more minutes we finally reach a house along the side of the road. It was a small yet nice size stature. We pull into the gravel driveway and come into a stop. I get out and walk around a bit, looking at my total surroundings.
"Different than California huh?" I hear my dad say opening the trunk of his patrol car. I only nod and answer with a small yeah and just continue looking around. Tall trees where everywhere, wetness and cold temperatures engulfed me, having me shiver a bit.
I walk over to gather most of my stuff and head over to the front door, following my dad inside the house.
It was pretty spacious for medium looking house despite the outside figures. Continuing to follow him, we go upstairs.
"To your left will be your own room." I walk in with him, scanning my eyes all around. It was a nice room. There was a bed made with pillows on top, a desk and chair on one side of the room and two windows on both sides.
"I like it a lot, thanks." I smile and give him a light hug.
Riiiing
"Oh, I should probably get that. Might be Billy." Arthur walks out of the room and starts his way down the stairs.
Well I better start unpacking I say thinking to myself. I put most of the bags and suitcases on my bed and begin the process.
After about twenty minutes and almost finished being done, I hear a car door close. Curious, I walk over to my front house window and peer over to look outside.
Down below I see my dad shaking hands with a man in a hat sitting in a wheelchair, and a girl behind him. As if he knew I was watching, my dad looks up towards me and gives me a 'come down' gesture with his hands. I nod in return and do so.
Washington breeze hits my face as I walk closer to the small group of three.
"Spencer this is Billy Black, a really good friend of mine." Arthur says as I walk closer to them. I extend a hand and shake his.
"Nice to meet you." I say smiling. I notice the girl behind him grinning at me.
"Wow Arthur, she sure did grow up to become a pretty thing there." I blush at the compliment.
"Thanks" I say.
"Don't you think so huh Carmen?" Billy says patting the girls', which I assumed was Carmen, hand that rested on one of the wheelchair handles.
"Ha, uh yeah definitely dad." She says in a soft spoken voice. It was cute. I look at her, grinning a bit.
"Hey Bill, you said you had something to show me in your truck, when we were on the phone earlier?" Billy nods his head and pats Carmens hands again.
"Yeah follow me." The two men go over towards the street where they parked one of the vehicles they came in, leaving Carmen and I standing in the driveway.
"So you know we have met before, right?" Carmen says, breaking the almost silence.
"We have?" I couldn't really remember honestly. She shifts her footage a bit.
"Yeah" she cleared her throat a little, "uhm, when we were little, we always played hide and seek at my house."
I then remembered.
"Yeah, yeah that's right." I start off saying, "you've grown up since I can remember." She laughs a little.
"Well I hope I did. I turned sixteen three months ago." I was surprised. I studied her quickly. She had long black straight hair, brown eyes and a bronze color of skin tone. She was probably a couple inches taller than me.
"Oh okay. So whats the school like here?"
"Actually," she starts out saying "I attend school on the reservation, homeschooled." I acknowledge.
"But speaking of school, youll probably need this." She leans her head towards Billy and Arthur who stood next to a silver little pickup truck. Cocking my head from one side, I walk over, Carmen following me.
"You like? Its yours you know" My dad asks as I examine the truck carefully. It was a bit rusted on some parts but I didn't care.
"Yeah I do." I say smiling.
"Carmen worked on repairing most of everything you see actually" Billy says, smiling at his daughter, who grins and shrugs a bit.
I stare at awe.
"That's pretty impressive, working on stuff like this." She shrugs again.
"I suppose. I just find it a hobby of entertainment really. But enough of the gawking, get in and check it out." She opens the door for me and I slide in. She then runs over to the other side of the truck and gets in herself.
"Open the visor up top." I do so and a Ford key falls onto my lap. I put the key in the ignition and turn it.
Vroom
The truck roars to life, sounding pretty smooth.
"Wow this is amazing, thanks." I say smiling at Carmen. She smiles back and rubs her hands on the pants she wore.
"Anytime." I turn off the truck, putting the key in my pocket and got out of the vehicle.
"Well Arthur, since everything sounds good, I think Carmen and I better head on out. Come see us on the Res. though Spencer, Carmen could use some company." He says winking at me. It makes Carmen blush.
"Nice seeing you Spencer." She gives me a small wave and smiling then turns around to help Billy in the vehicle he drove.
Arthur and I walk back into the house.
"So you ready for school tomorrow?" I shrug my shoulders.
"I guess. I mean im just a new student in the middle of the year, in my senior year." I didn't really think how the school situation really was until I said it.
"Its alright Spence, im sure youll do fine." I look at him nodding my head.
I sure hope I will.
So there you guys go. Review please :)
