Bella POV:

Charlie just picked me up from the airport and I'm in his cruiser heading to Forks. Its so wet and dreary here, I miss Arizona already but I really didn't want to be the one standing in the way of my mom's happiness.

I hear Charlie clear his throat again, I am already an awkward person and it seems Charlie is too which make this already long car ride excruciating.

"So, umm, your sister is really excited to have you home." He finally says.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, she uhh redid your old room and everything. That's why she didn't come with me to pick you up she was putting on the finishing touches."

"That's nice." My sister, Bellamy, is two years older than me. When our parents split up she chose to stay with Dad, I was too young to really have to say but I think I would've chosen to go with my mom anyway. It wouldn't have been right to leave either one of our parents on their own since there was two of us. But now Renee doesn't need me as much and I want her to be free to travel as much as she wants with her new husband.

As much as I hate the cold and wet town of Forks it will be nice having my sister close again.

I realize Charlie is talking again and try to tune back in without making it obvious I wasn't listening.

"So I guess what I'm saying is if you could just humor your sister a bit it would really mean a lot."

Humor her about what?

"Umm yeah sure." I reply even tho I have no idea as to what. Charlie puts his blinker on but I have no idea for who there is no one else on this road with us must just be out of habit, and we pull over onto the gravel driveway.

Home sweet home... no going back now.

I get out of the car and go to get my luggage out of the back when the front door suddenly bursts open and a dirty blonde blur quickly rushes over to me.

"I can't believe you're really here!" She sounds so genuinely happy and has engulfed me into this giant hug. There has always been a little tension between Renee and Bellamy but they are so similar it freaks me out sometimes, just full of love and energy and sunshine, they are impossible not to love.

"Yeah, me too." I reply hugging her back.

"Wait till you see your room! Come on come on!" She tells me excitedly. Room? I look back over to Charlie who is carrying my luggage in and he gives me a slight nod... I guess this is what I am supposed to be humoring her?

We make our way up the narrow stairs and stop out side the bedroom door.

"I really hope you like it" she tells me and I can see she's a little bit nervous.

The door opens and all I see is yellow, yellow and flowers.

Apparently I've taken to long to show my reaction because she starts babbling.

"You hate it don't you? Oh my god what was I thinking yellow? no one uses yellow unless they are painting a nursery and the couple has decided not to find out the sex!"

"No! I love it, really." I quickly tell her. She's so excited for me to love it I can't tell her what I really think plus it was nice of her to go through the trouble... last I saw this room was pink, wait-

"Oh thank god, I really wanted to do something nice to welcome you home and I figured you'd be missing Arizona so I wanted it to be a sunny haven for you. Plus I know the kind of literature you like Withering Heights and Romeo and Juliet so I wanted to add some romantic touches." Her logic is sound but bottom line, I hate yellow. I miss my old room it was lots of blues and purples.

"Wait, we've always shared this room, but there's only one bed." I comment remembering what came to mind earlier.

"your sister decided to move into the attic wanted you to have your own space." Charlie says.

"What? No, you shouldn't have done that really we can share I don't mind." I try to tell her I hate being an inconvenience to anyone or putting someone out, she really shouldn't have done this, it makes me feel so guilty.

"Please, sis. I'm pretty sure were both too old for twin beds any more and its really not so bad, I like it up there."

Charlie grunts a little and makes me seriously doubt anyone would be happy living in the attic.

"I don't even think I've been in the attic here." I comment.

"that's because it's more of a crawlspace." Charlie interjects, Great now I feel even worse.

"Don't be so dramatic it's perfectly fine a couple boys from La Push helped me fix it up and make sure it was insulated and plenty warm during the night, and I am happy to do it if it makes it easier for Bella to adjust to being back here." My sister states firmly.

Before I can respond and offer to take the attic and let her have her room back I here a truck pull up outside.

"speaking of boys from La Push," Charlie says

And quickly I see a mischievous smile cross my sisters face.

"that's right I'm not the only one who did something to welcome you home!"

We make our way downstairs and outside and I see a native boy probably a year or two younger than me and an older man in a wheel chair.

"Bella, you remember Billy Black." Charlie says indicating they are close family friends and I should at least pretend to remember him as to not be rude. So I shyly nod and thankfully that seems to be good enough.

"Glad you're finally here. Charlie and Bellamy haven't shut up about it since you told them you were coming." Billy responds embarrassing both me and my Dad but ofcorse not my sister, I don't know if I've ever seen her embarrassed yet for me it's pretty much a daily thing.

"Keep exaggerating, I'll wheel you down the hill." Charlie grumbles.

"Right after I ram you in the ankles." Billy is quick to hit back.

I listen to my Dad and his friend banter, And horse around a bit... apparently someone has a bromance going on.

I catch Jacob shyly making his way over to me and prepare myself, if you thought I was an awkward introvert around my family wait till you get me around someone from the opposite sex, it's painful.

"I'm Jacob. We made mud pies together when we were little kids." He says

"Yeah... I think I remember...Are they always like this?" I ask gesturing to our Dads.

"It's getting worse with old age."

I hear my sister clear her throats and see her giving Charlie a knowing look as if they can communicate telepathically and it seems to work because
Charlie rushes over to the truck and then pats the hood

"So what do you think of your homecoming gift?"

Wait is he serious? He really got me a car?!

"No way. The truck is for me?"

"Just bought it off Billy, here."

"It's perfect!" I can't believe he spent what little money he had doing this for me, this definitely makes up for the yellow room- he'll I'd sleep in a hello kitty themed room to finally have my own car!

I rush over to the truck and Jacob eagerly joins me, he tells me he rebuilt the engine proudly.

"Okay, so you gotta double pump the clutch when you shift, but - " I don't even wait for him to finish I grab the keys out of his hand and jump in much to my sisters amusement, I can here her giggling.

The windows are down so I am able to make out the end of my Dad's and Billy's conversation:

Billy: "so how does it feel?" And he nods over to us.

Charlie: "I have both my bells home, it feels good."

Maybe being back in Forks won't be so bad.
