"Purple is cool" Bella says and takes a sigh.
Charlie nods and walks out. I follow him to the room directly across from hers. Charlie opens if to the same size room but...less filled. Actually there is almost nothing in it.

All there is, a empty desk with a large computer and a pencil holder with two pens. A dresser clearly never used yet old. A queen sized bed with sage green sheets and curtains off white.

"You like green right" he says after rambling about why it's empty. I nod to him and shoot him a smile. He walks out with his hands on his hips.

The best thing about Charlie. Is that he doesn't hover. I flip onto my bed and I glace out my window. There is nothing but trees and rain. Sure I loved it in Arizona but the sound of the rain at night is something special that I can only get here. I'm almost 21. So close to be able to drink. Not like I haven't before. Parties get to people. Remembering parties I get on my knees on the floor and remove a board. Underneath is my old alcohol collection. Oh hell yeah.

The mystery of this place gives me goose bumps. Makes a smile and hug myself for unneeded warmth.

I look out my window to the drive way to see a red almost orange truck pull into the drive way and a yellow beetle beside it. My eye brows furrow clearly confused and a tall teen boy comes out with long hair and a older man with just as long hair in a wheel chair comes from the other car.

Charlie looks up to my window and waves me down but Bella's foot steps are already half was down the stairs. I follow after her with wonder she opens the door and Charlie explain who they are to Bella while I know just well.

"We made mud pies together" he says
"Yeah no I remember" Bella laughs to. Jacob. I remember. That weird boy that crushed over Bella. Looks like he still does. He did build some muscle though.

"You remember billy right Therese? He taught you how to dress wounds"  I shake his hand and remember
"Sure I do. Still use the tricks to this day"
"Bella this is your home coming gift" her face brightens and gets in. She opens the door to hit Jacob in the leg with it.

Billy shows me the yellow beetle to me and holds out his hand.
"This my dear is yours" I look at it and a smile leaks into my every feature.
"Are you sure?! It's so beautiful and unique"
"Im sure. It's all yours" I open the door to jump in. It's old but cleaned. I turn the key in the slot and in seconds it's running.
"Thank you!" I bend down to give him a hug and he returns it in a fatherly manner.i stop the car and I take the keys with me. I thank them one more time before running back into the house to then to my room.
Billy chuckles to that and Charlie rolls him around to give him two sets of six packs.

"Therese we are going out to eat! Willing to join" yes my name is Therese what about it. It's a hard name to pronounce but it means late summer in French. And Bella in Italian. My parents can't just pick one language can they.
I hear Charlie no up the stairs. He interrupted my thoughts. Not like he knew what he was doing.

"No thank you dad! I will order a pizza or something" I say with a smile. He mumbles a agreement. I hear their foot steps leave. I glance out the window to see it start up and drive away.

I bite my lip excitedly and I run to my door and grab my jacket. I grab my keys from the front door and race outside. My light auburn hair flys freely in the wind. It's cold compared to where mom was. Without letting the smile slip from my face I pull my collage hoodie over my head and start half jogging through the drive way to my car.

A nice drive around the town always gets you closer to it. Finally driving my car feels new yet magical. My hands steer the leather wheel out of my house and onto the street.
