AN: I'm updating a lot earlier than I thought I would. I rushed through this chapter for some reason, so please excuse any errors I missed. And to clear up any confusion, before rewriting chapter one I had the pen name twilight addicttt xx (something along those lines lol), and the girls name was Mikayla. Just incase anyone got confused.

Thankyou sooo much for the great reviews guys!!

Chapter 2 - Flight

Over the next few days Tristan and I planned my trip. Thankfully mum hadn't been home enough to notice me, and when she was I pretended I was having a shower or sleeping. I felt guilty knowing this might be the last time I see her.

It still frightened me everytime I looked in the mirror, I'd changed so much.

We had the one-way plane ticket to Seattle booked. Tristan still didn't have a clue why I was going to Forks, or what Twilight was, but I was glad he was supporting me, even if it sounded completely crazy. I was staying at the only motel in Forks, which sadly didn't look very pleasant. He had rung my school and said I had a "Terrible flu, puking all over the place, ohh mannn, there she goes again", so I was set for the next 2 weeks or so. He also took care of my passport and license, since I no longer matched the photo. I didn't really want to know how he did it, I wasn't sure it was entirely legal.

Thursday finally came, the day I left.

I packet away the last few items I needed, briefly tidied up my room and got ready to leave. It seemed so surreal. Just a few days ago I was wishing I was Bella, wishing I had adventure, wishing something exciting would happen in my life. And now here I am, I look just like Bella and all of a sudden "Twilight" doesn't exist. Flying off to Forks seemed so far fetched, but here I was, going to find out if this was all too good to be true. Even if the Cullens were real, would Edward and I be together? Lets face it, on the inside, I wasnt "Bella", I was Claudia. Lucky thing my brother always told me how much my personality reminded him of Bella's, that is, when he knew what "Twilight" was.

We reached the airport at 10, two hours before my flight. Tristan was coming in to see me off, for that I was glad, atleast I'd have one person who'd miss me.

After we checked my luggage in we had to pass through security. Trust Tristan to run into trouble. He passed through the metal detectors what seemed a hundred times, before realising it was his hip piercing causing the problem. By now he was practically in his underwear, the other girls in line had their eyes pinned to him. I rolled my eyes as we finally headed up to the terminal.

For the next half hour we window shopped. Tristan bought a heap of junk food, he said it might help me sleep on the plane. Somehow I doubted that all that extra sugar would do anything but make me totally hyper, but I took it anyway, it was going to be a long trip.

Finally the massive plane slid into the terminal, making us skull our iced tea's even quicker. My nerves kicked in as we reached the line up point. Was going to Forks a huge mistake? I tried to think of why it was but couldn't come up with anything. It's not like I could continue living my life as normal anyway, I was a different person, on the ouside anyways. I took a deep breath and decieded even if going to see if the Cullens existed sounded stupid, it'd be better than doing nothing.

"Claudia?"

"I'm nervous Tristan, what if the plane crashes?", I used this to cover what my nerves were really about. But the thought of the plane crashing did worry me, I was never a good flyer.

"Nothing bad will happen, I promise". We reached the counter and the woman took my ticket.

"Bye, Tristan, i'm gonna miss you"

He had a huge grin on his face, "You too, as much as I hate admitting it"

We laughed together before awkwardly parting our seperate ways.

-----

One the plane I had a window seat, but unfortunately I was also stuck beside a chatterbox 9 year old. She didn't end up being that bad, I learnt quite a bit about her. Her name was Kate and sadly her father had died of cancer a year ago, and shortly after her mother gained a drinking problem. Since her mum was no longer fit to look after her she was going to live with her uncle. I felt immense sympathy for this child I'd just met. She seemed to keep so strong after all she went through, I wondered how she did it. Finally she asked me what my name was.

"So, what's your name?". Before I could answer her,"You know you look like an Isabella, but Bella for short, I wish I had that name, it's really pretty. Plus theres so many nicknames for it, Iz, Izzy,Bella . . .", and she went on.

It was in shock of what she had just said. She immediately thought I was an Isabella. Maybe it was just a coincidence.

"OK, so anyways what is your name?", she was finally done babbling.

"Cl-, Bella, you were right", I though it best to make her happy, plus I had always liked the name. Maybe I'd just go by that from now on, I mean I did wish I was Bella, maybe it was fate. I laughed at the thought.

"Why'd you start saying something else first?", she asked curiously. She sure was observant.

I pondered for a moment before simply saying, "I don't know"

"Oh well, thats happens to me, I go to say something but get sidetracked, like this time . . ."

This kid had quite a bit to say for a 9 year old.

I was starting to get hungry. None of the plane food held interest for me, so I decided to snack on the junk Tristan bought me. Kate was too busy talking about something to do with a gorilla to notice, she wasn't getting any, the last thing she needed was sugar to make her more hyper.

Wierdly Tristan was right, the lollies did make me more drowsy. I placed my ipod earbuds in my ears and drifted to sleep, not even sure Kate noticed.

Now I was sure I was dreaming, Edward Cullen was standing barely a few feet away from me. He looked peacefull, yet dissapointed at the same time, staring off into thin air. His eyes suddenly twisted around to me. My heart was beating faster, his golden eyes staring at me as he spoke. I wasn't listening at first, I was too entranced by his breathtaking looks. He looked at me more seriously before going on again.

". . .I just don't feel the same way, it's like I want to, but you're not all there. It's like part of your personality's missing, I just can't figure out which part. I just feel you're hiding something from me and . . ."

Why'd he stop?

"Bellaaaa, wakey wakey, were almost there, aren't you excited, I can't wait. . .", Kate babbled on again.

Oh that's why.

I shifted and looked out the window. The small city was coming into view as I felt the plane jolt lower.

Lying on the ground was the bag of leftover candy. I thought I better finish it before we land, and this time Kate noticed. She's been through a lot so I gave her all of it, only if she promised to eat them once she was off the plane, then I wouldn't have to put up with her hyperactivity.

The plane was decending faster now, and before I knew it we hit he runway, much to my relief. As soon as we stopped Kate was out of her seat, jumping around madly. I waited until most of the passengers got off, I didn't like being stuck in a crowd. Kate waited with me. We gathered up our hand luggage and headed down the corridor together.

I got a huge hug and thank you before Kate ran into her Uncles loving arms. Nobody was waiting for me, and for this I envied her. I claimed my small suitcase and picked up the hire care Tristan had booked. I may aswell be able to drive myself around if I intented to be here for 2 weeks, but I somehow doubted my trip would be that short.

Please Review :)
