Part 1 - A Different Bella
When Bella came to stay with her father, she just had turned 18, but she was also in a very steady, loving relationship, that for few weeks ago went to an surprising engagement, and plans that in 2 years time, she would be married to her love of her life, Tokala Clifford.
Tokala and herself had met when she was just 15, and it had been an instant connection between the two, not she knew until few months later of why it became so natural and whatnot with him, she was his imprint, his true mate and the one that would keep him sane on this earth, and make sure that he was stable with or without her around him.
Her mother knew at first nothing, but she later found out, and she had been shocked at first, but she accepted it after seeing how great Tokala was to Bella and her needs above his own, and she also gave them her blessing when she was later told of their engagement and their plans for a wedding would be later, and that made her happy, and Phil was estactic and happy aswell, and he gifted Bella her own car to drive in Forks with, so he got his friends in transfering things around US, and they were more than happy to get her car to Forks.
He also got her a black card, that was unlimit access to money, and she was happy for she knew how to handle money and so forth very well. After a rather tearful goodbyes to them, she then took the flight to Seattle and from there her father, Charlie Swan would pick her up.
Charlie was the town of Forks' only Chief of Police and he was to himself rather good at it, not that many shared that about him being a good cop, most thought he was too leinent and too dirty as a cop.
After a long flight to Seattle, she landed on time, even few minutes earlier, so she got up and out of the plane, and then to fetch her two suitcases filled with clothes suitable for the weather in Forks and months ahead. She was already missing Tokala, and his warmth, but her engagement ring kept those feeling on low side, as she knew his work as an actor in the newest project of his, was an important one, and she knew, like their friends in that world, would do great on set.
She soon saw a sign up in the air, and it said "Isabella Swan" on it, and she sighed, as she had told her mother that she didn't particulary like that full name, but she would accept it usages of course, and her mother was just pleased she wouldn't change it to different name. She saw her father, in his brown hair and a very bushy mustache, and he had huge grin on his face, as she neared him.
He looked confused at first, but when she said
"Hi Dad." He lit up, and pulled her into his arms, a very tight hug, that made her squeak, and he let go of her, and he said
"Hi Bells."
And Bella shook her head, as if when would he stop using that name for her, it was too childish for her taste, but she sighed, and followed him out to the car. She did also look alittle different from the last time he had seen her last september. She had lost her baby fat and she was more confident in her walking and she wouldn't hold back anything she wanted to comment on for others' shittyness.
"Is that all you have?"
"Yep, filled to the brim of things to wear here, as it is alot colder and wetter here, Dad." Charlie nodded not noticing the sarcastic sting in her words about Forks and Washington state overall. She already regret coming here to stay with him, as she notice he took her outside and he had his own truck over police car this time.
And after getting inside, and began the drive back to Forks, which would take a few hours at the most, they talked small talks, then he said
"Oh I also got you registered at Forks High for Junior year."
"Don't you mean Senior Year, as I am 18 now and in my last months of school before graduating?" At that he frowned, but shook his head, and said
"No you are not that far."
"Yes I am, dad. I am Senior now, like before in Florida with mom. Mom already sent all the papers to proof it all too, so they will know and see that I am not in Junior year but Senior year these last months of school. That was the plan for me to come and stay here with you."
At that he frowned and went quiet, which pleased Bella for she didn't want to fight or talk more about it with him. As he still longed for Renee even after all this time. She then said
"And my car will come tomorrow by shipping, as Phil's kind friend will come by noon and let me have my car here too."
At that he frowned even more, but said nothing, just kept driving towards Forks, and Bella shook her head, and went back to look outside of the car, and seeing all the green and brown coming more pronounced around her, and she sighed as she felt this would be her life of seeing for few months.
After what seemed an eternity, they pulled up at his house, and she took her bags out of the trunk of his car, and followed him inside, and up the stairs to her old room, which now held a bed, a desk with a computer and few other things. But it had the still green walls and purple bedding, while she did love Purple still, but to this green, it didn't fit well. So she knew she would get some paint and paint the walls all white.
She got her things out of the suitcase, while Charlie left her on her own, not sure how to deal with a very different Bella from what she used to be to him at least. She was open, not afraid to tell him things nor too shy either with her showing her dislikes and whatnot. While she did that, he went back down, to hear a honk from outside, and when he looked out, he saw the Black son and father duo, and he smiled, maybe Jacob could get Bella to become the same girl she was before, and maybe even they would start dating. Who knows really, he went out to greet them, and Bella came down the stairs, she had changed out of the clothes she flown in, and now had a t-shirt and pair of black jeans.
Jacob didn't hold back his looks onto her, but she seemed to ignore him for now, and said
"Hello Billy." Billy gapped at her, but said
"Hello Bella, welcome back to Forks."
"Just here for few months until graduation in May, but thank you."
At that he like Charlie again and Jacob all frowned at her words, but said nothing, Charlie shook his head, and invited the two in for a game, and some beer for the two men, and Bella got a coke for herself and Jacob, then she went back upstairs to unpack some more, and Billy told his son to go on upstairs to Bella, and he did. But soon he came back with a sour look on his face, and Charlie said
"what happened, Jake?" He said grumply
"She kicked me out, as she was not only unpacking, but she wanted to take a shower, and did not need me to watch her either. So I got back down to you guys."
At that both of them nodded, and Charlie had abit of hard glint in his eyes, but he would wait until after the two had left the house, to confront Bella on that matter.
The evening progressed and after the game was over with, the two Black's left, and no Bella came down to talk or say goodbyes, for she had fallen asleep hours ago when they finally left the house. She also had locked her door and closed all the windows, and screwed them down to the house, for it was too cold to have them open anyways, and when Charlie went to get her, he found himself not able to get inside nor able to unlock the door.
He decided to confront his daugther tomorrow morning instead. For now he too went to bed and sleep.
