Chapter one: Welcome Home
We are sitting on the log by the lake; it's the last night at camp and who knows if we will ever see each other again. I am staring at his emerald green eyes and it feels as though I can see right through him and he can see right into my soul, yes that is a bit dramatic but I am only 16 almost 17. He lifts his hand up to move my brown hair out of my face and leaves it placed on my cheek. "Bella" he whispers as he leans in closer and closer. I can feel his breath on my face and I start to close my eyes…
"Attention passengers we will be landing within the next twenty minutes so if everyone would return their seats to the upright position and remain seated." Damn captain! Right when my dream was getting to the good part! I always wake up just before the kiss, why is that? To back track a bit my name is Isabella Marie Swan and I am on my way back to the tiny rainy town of Forks after living with my mom for three years. Don't get me wrong, I really love my dad, my siblings and Sue, I just hate the rain, the cold, and the fact that I am starting a new school in my last year in high school. The other problem is that in order to make my move before school started I had to miss music camp this summer and miss the man of my dreams…literally he has been in my dreams for the past year ever since camp last summer. But I am such a stupid chicken when it comes to meeting new people that I never got the courage to actually talk to him till the last day of camp and I was hoping to get reacquainted this summer until my mom got remarried and shipped me back to dad's. As I stated before, not that I minded.
As I was going through my inner monologue the plane makes a spectacular landing (only a moment or two where I thought the plane would slam onto the runway instead of just landing) and I am making my way through baggage claim, trying not to trip over my two left feet and fall up the stairs to the exit (and yes it is possible to trip up stairs, as well as down them and somehow fall off the side) when I get the feeling that someone is watching me. I look around and only see an old couple sitting in the little coffee shop at the exit. Shaking my head I turn around and start to gather my bags, I only needed two since the rest of my stuff was shipped about a week ago. It was then that I got the weird feeling of someone approaching me, the Jaws theme song was suddenly playing in my head, and as I felt two strong arms grab me around my waist and started spinning me around and around I heard the most annoying, the loudest, and the most wonderful voice in the world.
"Belly-bear!!!!! You're here you're here you're here!!!!!!! Leah so owes me twenty bucks, she claimed that the plane would have to do an emergency stop to scotch tape the wing again and that you would be delayed forever and I said that the plane would only be an hour late!!!" My big bear of a brother yelled all this at the top of his voice as he picked me up and spun me around in circles.
"Emmett Jackson Swan put me down! You act as though you haven't seen me in years; you were the one who came to mom's to help me pack two weeks ago!" Emmett laughed as he finally set me down, people were starting to stare at us and the one thing I go out of my way to not attract is attention. He quickly grabbed my bags and headed for the parking lot.
And here comes the rain, it's the summer for crying out loud where is the sun? Apparently I said this out loud because Emmett started laughing at me again, I swear that is his favorite past time. After ten minutes of looking for the truck, it's a classic red truck that has a lot of character don't let anyone tell you differently, we hit the road for home and I started grilling Em for info on our family and the school. We were both seniors this year even though Emmett was a year and a month older then me, I am such a genius I skipped a grade in elementary school, something Emmett was strangely proud of.
"Well Bells its still a mad house at home." Emmett stated with a smirk on his face. "Leah and Jake had to move in a couple of weeks ago cause with Jake spending so much time at the fire house and Leah being put on bed rest, Sue and dad wanted to be sure she actually listened to her doctor for once. You know how big sis gets, she can be scary on her own but you add those hormones and its like Reptar on crack And it has been my job to keep lil bro occupied so he doesn't bother Leah anymore then I do."
"Oh God Em, please tell me you haven't corrupted little Seth, he is only six!" if that little cutie turned out to be too much like Emmett I should save myself now by jumping out the car window now.
Emmett feigned being hurt. "Bella how could you say such a thing? Little Seth is a great prankster all on his own. A talent such as that needs to be encouraged. Besides he starts first grade this year, I'm sure he will calm down sooner or later, I was just like him when we were little and look how I turned out." Poor Seth, he is so doomed. He has so many strikes against him to begin with. For starters our family make up makes the soap operas look normal. When my dad Charlie was 16, he and Sue were high school sweet hearts until her dad caught them together and sent her to live with her aunt on a reservation in Oklahoma. Then while in my dad's senior year he met my mom, Renee, and they started seeing each other. Half way through their third year in college they got married and six months later Emmett was welcomed into the world, all 10 lbs of him! They didn't last long in the happily ever after department and even though I came into the world a year and a month later (to the day Emmett claims I was supposed to be his birthday present) mom was already ready to "hit the road". Which she did after Sue moved back to Forks with a beautiful little girl about the age of six that looked like a little version of her Native American mother but had the Swan brown eyes, just like my father. Long story short, dad and mom split, mom took off for a few years to "find herself" , Sue and dad picked up where they left off, we were a happy family welcoming poor little Seth smack dab in between Emmett's and mine birthdays. He was such a cute little baby, I hope he still remembers me. Shortly after Sue and Leah's return my dad's sister and her husband passed away in a car accident and my father got custody of our cousin Sam Uley who is a year older then Leah, yep we both had two brothers to scare away the boys, even in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!!!! Anyway, when Leah was in her sophomore year at Forks high (go Spartans!) the school on the La Push reservation was burned down after being hit by lightning( freak accident) and it was then that she met the senior Jacob Black , it was love at first sight and they got married in her freshman year of college. Jake got on Sam and dad's good side by becoming a firefighter for forks, something about being service men made them into a sort of club, weird I know.
"Oh! And I cant wait for school to start next week! You would get along so well with my friends they already want to meet you!!" Emmett was practically jumping out of his seat. "Em! Pay attention to the road! I want to live damn it!"
"Hey little sis watch the language! People would start to think you were raised by a fucking pack of wolves!"
"You are so one to talk I'm surprised Sue hasn't washed your mouth out with soap by now."
"Well, she might have once or twice but it was so worth it! No one talks to my Rosie like that!"
Wait what? I quickly whipped my head to face my now blushing bear of a brother. "Who is Rosie? And why does she already have you so whipped?" I smirked.
"She is this girl I hang out with, she is one of the Cullen's kids. They moved here shortly after you were taken by the bitch I mean left to go live with the wonderful woman we call mommy dearest." Did I mention that sarcasm is another family trait? " you will so love them Bells, they are so cool and maybe we can finally get you out of your books and music sheets. You still play?"
" Yes I still play, if it wasn't for the whole quick moving thing I would have gone to camp like I always do" I tried to cover up the sigh that left my lips I really really did. The blush that crept up onto my cheeks on the other hand, I have no control over. God must hate me today cause praying that Emmett wouldn't notice so did not work.
Welcome to big brother mode…"There was a boy wasn't there? Did he hurt you? Do I need to get Jake and Sam to teach him a lesson? Don't forget Leah, she might not move as fast at the moment but as soon as the watermelon is out we can all kick his ass back to wherever he came from." I pity the fool I actually start dating. Em was holding the wheel so tightly I though he would have a hulk moment and rip the thing right off the car, which would be a bad thing seeing as we were almost home and I didn't want to die. Most accidents do happen 5 miles from the home.
"Sorry to disappoint you bro but there is no guy, he didn't even know I existed. I was too shy to talk to him till the last day of camp and all I did was apologize for tripping off the stage and right on top of him during the final symphonic concert. I am such a moron!" Emmett looked pleased at my confession, evil bear mode gone for now.
"Don't worry Bells, there will be plenty of guys still around when you are thirty. Hey look at that!"
Leave it to Em to change the subject but we were turning down the familiar street that I missed so much. And as we turned the corner the sight took my breath away and I couldn't help the tears of happiness that started to fall from my eyes. There on the porch sat Leah, Em was right by the way she looked like she swallowed a watermelon (not that I would ever admit it to her face). She was sitting on the swing with her feet propped up on Jacob's lap. On the other side of the porch stood Sam in his deputy police uniform with his arm around a woman who must be the Emily he has been talking to me about in his emails, they looked so happy. At the foot of the stairs stood my dad and Sue. Sue was holding the hand of a very excited Six year old who just had to be little Seth, well he didn't seem so little he looked tall for a six year old (why must I be the only one cursed to be 5'2"? why!?!?!? No seriously Leah is 5' 8" dad and Emmett are 6' 3", Jake and Sam are 6' 4" and Sue is 5'4" even Emily looks to be taller then me!). they were all smiling and looked so excited to see me. But what really brought on the tears was the sign that looked like Seth wrote it. Emmett pulled into the driveway and as soon as he cut the engine off I was engulfed into another bone crushing hug. He only said the one thing I was excited to hear…
"Welcome home Bella."
