Present Time, Forks

November, 2006

A girl wavy brown hair and hazel eyes looked at a photo album sadly. Bella Swan did not know what to do anymore. She couldn't believe where her life had come into now. One year ago, she had found love in the most unlikely place. She was finally happy for once. But now she had nothing. The friend she had found few weeks ago, Jacob, he had started shunning her and started hanging out with the gang even though before he had complained.

She pulled her legs up and wrapped her arms around it, not being able to stop the tears. Suddenly she froze and wiped the tears away.

'No, enough is enough. I shouldn't feel sorry for my petty life. I should instead do something about it' thought Bella.

She got up, but while doing that she accidentally knocked a book from her desk and she bent down to pick it up. She froze as she saw what is was. It was her old journal. She had stopped writing eons ago, when she was 12. Curious and wanting to look back her memories, she flicked through it. But froze when she saw at her earlier ambitions she had set when she was 7.

Eyes widening, she started packing her bag and went down. Needing to talk to Charlie because she was going to let him know, he deserved to.

Charlie was sitting in front of the television, looking dazed when he got up, seeing her coming down. He looked surprised to see her. Bella cringed at the expression. She knew because of how she had been acting, her dad suffered and she was hating herself for that now. She was going to change it.

"Dad, um, I know I have been a bit distracted these few months" started Bella looking at him "And i want to change it around. So dad, is if okay, if I, um go at a world tour. Just take a vacation?" asked Bella looking at Charlie

Charlie looked surprised at this request and Bella explained more to him

"I just need to go out for a while, you know clear my head. I'll be back by the time school starts and I'll be better"

"But do you have enough money?" asked Charlie

"I do, remember the money I originally brought with me last year for a car. I can use that to travel to a few places" said Bella, giving him a pleading look.

Charlie looked at her before he sighed.

"Perhaps it will be good for you..." said Charlie "But will you promise to call me everyday?"

"Definitely!" said Bella, smiling for the first time, she hugged him.

'First stop San Francisco, here I come'
