After a long, awkward, car ride we finally came to a stop. When I look out the window I see a simple 2 story white house. It's not much but it's nice compared to some of the other actual crack houses I have lived in.

"It's only two bedrooms and I figured you guys wouldn't want to share a bedroom, so I turned the attic into a bedroom for you Stella." Charlie says rubbing the back of his neck looking nervous of our response. I noticed he always seems nevous when he is talking to us. Great, this man is scared of teenage girls and now he is living with not only one but two.

"Awesome, that's perfect if I was with my mom right now I would probably be sharing a moldy mattress, with a stranger, in the corner of a crack house" I say with a slight chuckle

Charlie looks horrified which just makes me laugh more.

"Yeah it's great dad thanks" Bella says with a quick nod. With that me and bella grab our bags and we head towards the house

When Charlie said he turned the attack into a bedroom he wasn't kidding. It was tiny but I didn't need big. The ceiling was flat at the top but on the side slanted into the wall. The slanted bit had a big window that could open. Right under the window was a queen size bed but instead of a bed frame it was sitting on 2 stacks of pallets. There were fairy lights everywhere, a little desk on one side of the room and a wooden clothes rack on the other. I love it. I don't know how Charlie did it but it matches my aesthetic perfectly.

The only downside is since it is an attack I have to use a ladder to get up there. Thus making it kinda difficult to get my bags up there but after a bit of struggling I did it. Once I finally got my bags up into the attack I started unpacking. Though the room fit my aesthetic perfectly it wasn't perfect. That is until the room was filled with all of my stuff.

I put pictures of my old friends, Bella and her family, and even some of my family over my desk. I filled my closet with all of my clothes. Put my makeup on my desk, there's not much because I don't wear it often. I pull my favorite brown bear out of my duffle bag and put it on my bed sliding the still full bag under my bed to not be found by others. Then finally I take all my toiletries downstairs into the bathroom.

After all my things are put in their proper spots in the bathroom I decide to go into Bella's room.

"Hey Bella" I said barging into her room without warning

"Ever heard of knocking Stella" she replies in a fake irritated tone. To witch I just rolled my eyes

"So what do you think of the fabulous forks" asked Bella sarcasm oozing from the words

"Come on Bells, it's not that bad. Charlie is trying, the house is nice, we both have our own space, and we have each other and that's all we really need." I say already having enough of her moping. I love Bella but it's not like we got the raw end of the deal here she is just being difficult because she doesn't want to live with her dad. Don't get me wrong Bella loves her father; I can tell she just isn't great at handling or talking about her emotions, much like charlie.

My thoughts are interrupted by the sound of people talking outside "so charlie is talking to himself now" I laugh walking to stand next to Bella in the window. Looking out the window I see charlie talking to a man who looks to be Native American and is in a wheelchair and another much younger man who looks to be me and bells age. The younger man could be considered quite attractive if it weren't for his hideous long hair. (yes that was long hair Jacob slander deal with it)

"Who are they?" I question turning from the window to look at Bella

"I think Billy Black and his son Jacob" she replies

"Well we better go say hey" I say leading us out of the room, down the stairs, and out of the house to the driveway with the three men

"Hello Bella and you must be Stella" billy says as we approach

"Yes, I'm Stella, nice to meet you Mr?" I say shaking the man's hand as Bella just awkwardly waves

"Call me Billy," he replays "and this, is my son Jacob"

"Nice to meet you" Jacob says also now shaking my hand

"You two" I simply reply returning to stand next to Bella

After a bit of awkward silence Charlie hits the big orange truck next to us, that I can only refer to as a beast. "So what do you think Bells" Bella just looks at him confused "I just bought her off Billy here." Charlie further explains

"It's great dad, thanks." Bella says Now to someone who doesn't really know Bella it looks like she doesn't care but I can tell she is actually really grateful and hyped.

"Well check her out" charlie says

Bella and Jacob go to climb into the truck, not without Bella hitting him with the door first, and start talking about boring car stuff. And as much as I would love to listen to that it has been a long day and I would like to be alone and not as big.

I excuse myself after telling Bella I am going upstairs and probably going to bed.
