Hi everyone, thank you for stopping by :) I just wanted to pop in and apologise in advance for any spelling or grammar mistakes, I may have missed. It is just myself and Grammarly :)

I have chosen to wear my red fitted, jumper dress, fleece leggings, and black Ugg boots, which I got with the money my mother gave me for Christmas. I have also decided to leave my hip-length, brown hair down, for the New Year's Eve Bonfire my godfather has invited me and Charlie too, who surprisingly had a night off work. I had barely seen him since the day I had arrived on the 23rd of December.
It was better than being abandoned yet again by your own mother, as she jetted off totally unexpectedly, on honeymoon number two with husband number four, the poor guy was, since she had left my father Charlie. He was furious when I phoned him on the 21st and had booked me a flight as soon as we ended the call. I wasn't due to move here until the 17th of January, but it was better than spending Christmas and New Year's, on my own alone. At least Charlie was about and kind of made a bit more of an effort, in his own way than she ever did. It's almost like she forgets she even has a daughter, when she's with these guys, she finds from god knows where.
I love her because she's my mother, but that doesn't mean I have to like her. It's a rather confusing head space to be in, to be honest. I'm just happy to be finishing my high school years in a more stable environment, with a parent who actually cares, and at least tries to make an effort, instead of just throwing money at me. Heck! I saved up enough over the last few years to pay for my own laptop. I'd been asking for a laptop of any kind, ever since I saw a girl at my old school with one, that had an Apple logo on it, which I thought was cute.
The last time I went to Charlie's when I was eight years old, he had a really old and run-down computer. So I brought this for research, watching movies and TV shows, and I don't regret it one bit, because when Charlie has been here, he hogs the TV and watches sports with a beer. One of the many things I love about Charlie is, he doesn't feel the need to fill the air with pointless, awkward chatter.
This brings me to now, as we drive down the curvy ocean road towards a little reservation on the coast. Surrounded by lush green forests and ocean air, one of my favourite places. I have always considered home, more than anywhere else, and this place is called La Push. I used to spend every easter and summer here, whilst Charlie worked at the station and then he would spend the weekends with me, down here.
Once we reached the cliff-top parking a few of the locals were carrying food and crates of drink down the sandy path between the cliffs. I think my jaw dropped and my eyes popped open seeing the size of these guys as we got closer. I felt Charlie gently tap my chin shut and chuckle as we pulled into a parking space.
"Don't ever let my mother come down here!" I said after a moment! "What do they feed these people on?" I asked.
"I asked the same thing, when the first boy almost seemed to fill out overnight, and got Billy's cryptic, mysterious shit instead! Don't worry Bella, Renee hasn't been back for seventeen years, so why would she bother now?" He said, handing me some food shopping bags and he carried the beers down.
"So she won't come here, even though I'm here?" I asked him, feeling something I couldn't quite put my finger on.
"I hate to say it kid, but no." We said no more on the topic as we got to the bottom, my vision is suddenly blurred by a tall frame and long arms lifting me up and spinning me around. I laughed and screamed at the same time from the sudden shock and movement. I'd dropped the shopping bags at some point too, not sure where though.
"JACOB EMPHRAM BLACK! Put me down you overgrown buffoon!" I say, as the world is spinning in my vision, when I finally do feel the ground again, I stumble a little but stop myself from falling by grabbing Jake's long hair.
"OW, shorty!" I stick my tongue out.
"I missed you too, now where is Uncle Billy?" I say looking around and found him, Charlie and three large dudes to the side of the group, two of which we saw before, coming down onto the beach. I made a beeline for Uncle Billy and jumped on his back, he was talking to Charlie and an older guy.
"Bella!" He said, happily as he pulled me around and hugged me tightly. I suddenly hear someone growl angrily, and Uncle Billy tense. I hear someone say something to Charlie and lead him away, as we break apart. Uncle Billy looks at me properly for the first time.
"Did the Witch ever hurt you, Bella? I know some bits from our phone calls but wanted to ask you this question in person. So I knew if I ever needed to hunt her ass down or not! I'd never seen Charlie so angry before, and he wouldn't say why, just that you're coming sooner, which we are super happy about!"
"Not in the physical way, Uncle Billy. I'm just glad to be back here and out of her toxic world." He glanced to the right and I followed his line of vision to see the three guys, and one looked rather angry as he stared at something down the beach. I followed his gaze and found Jake and his three friends.
"Bella, come over with me. I'd like to introduce you to the boys. They work for me on the council." Billy took me over to the three yummy-looking guys and the angry one's head turned in our direction, and when my eyes met his, everything seemed to vanish around us and all I could see is his brown eyes, toned, copper face and his muscular half-naked body I wanted to run my fingers and tongue all over and trace every line. I felt my hand become free that Uncle Billy had been holding as he brought me over here, and then my vision was blocked by Jake, dragging me back down the beach away from mister sexy. I swear I heard a growl again and looked back to find the other two boys leading mister sexy in the direction of the forest.
"Bells, I don't know if you remember my friends, Quill, Embry and Seth. Charlie is over there with Seth's Dad Harry and his Mum, Sue." I shake my head and try to look apologetic as I look at each of them. I feel odd, and I don't like it one bit. I couldn't even explain the feeling if I wanted to.
"Um, sorry guys. I was eight the last time I was down this way." I glanced back to the forest where the guys had clearly disappeared too and found Uncle Billy standing there looking in that direction too.
I wondered what was going on, and if I had imagined the whole thing with mister sexy.
Part 2 of NYE coming soon :)
Happy Reading :)
