P.O.V  Megan

What is the worst way to wake up? Have a glass of cold water poured on your head, I love you Bella. I hardly ever wake up calmly, again, thanks Bella. I swear that one day I will get gray hair because of her, there as you see her being so shy, she is also a little demon. Currently, I am finishing packing my bags in Mom's truck and waiting for Bella who is always late.

- Come on, Bella! We are going late! - I hear her footsteps echo down the stairs and I see her appear through the door of our house. Her hair is a bit matted, toothpaste on the corner of her lips, and she is trying to carry her bags to the truck.

- Wow, what happened to you? Had an interesting night? - I smile and she sends me a glare. - What? Look at your hair, the toothpaste and please, give me your bags - yeah, definitely Bella is mess when travelling is in the table.

After 10 minutes we are all driving to the airport, everyone is on their own little world. Infinity by One Direction is blasting through my headphones. Yeah, I like their songs, suck it up.

84 years later we arrive to the airport, Bella and I say our goodbyes to our mom and Phil. After that, we board the plane and we prepare ourselves to sleep for the whole time.

Bella and I look everywhere for dad until my eyes spot a sign with our names on it, it's dad. 

- Come on, Bella. Dad is there - I point in his direction and we start our way until we are in front of him. He gives us one of those typical awkward smiles, yes, Bella is the exact copy of him. I smile at him and start the conversation because I know Bella won't.

- Hi Dad. Long time no see - I give him a nostalgic smile and see how he reciprocates it. I've always been daddy's girl. Our relation is stronger than the one he has with Bella. 

- Hi Meg. It's been a few years since we haven't seen each other - Bella fidgets a bit uncomfortable next to me. And I understand that she wants to be in her way home.

- Hi, Dad. - Bella finally says. Good lord, I was thinking that she would not talk to him in all the ride home. I just hear Dad saying a quite greeting to Bella and he takes our bags. We all arrive at his car and we start our journey to home.

Ok, we got home alive and without any uncomfortable environment between us thanks to the little talk we had with dad. He mentioned to us that we are going to attend Forks High School and I couldn't be more excited to make friends, unlike Bella. Jeez, I swear she will end alone and with a hundred cats. 

We go into the house and Dad directs us to our rooms, mine is in the attic. When I was little I loved spending time there and therefore my parents decided to move my room there. Nothing has changed, only that the bed is a little bigger and you could tell that Dad had cleaned it because otherwise it would be full of dust.

My eyes go to the window, it's one of the reasons I loved spending my time in the attic. I could see the sky and the stars at night in an incredible way. You could see everything. 

I can see the forest from there and a few houses along the street. From being so deep in thought, I was startled when I hear noises below, I see that there is a truck parked by the side of the house and Dad talking to two people but I can't ... oh god, are those Billy and Jacob Black?! I rush downstairs and run out the door to jump on Jacob's back. My best friend from childhood and that I had not seen for years is standing in front of me, I feel my eyes moisten and I press him against me.

- Jake? - my voice is barely heard but Jake seems to have heard perfectly. He lowers me off his back and turns to wrap me in his arms.

- God, Meg is really you - his embrace becomes stronger, he moves away from me a little to leave a kiss on my forehead. A clear throat pulls us apart and my eyes connect with Billy's. I smile and throw myself into a big hug.

- Just look how much you've grown, little Meg - the nickname he says reminds me of some good times I spent with him. I break away and give him my best smile, Billy is such a sweetheart.

- I'm glad you can meet again - Dad tells us and that's when I notice that Bella is standing next to an orange truck and looking at me with affection. She knows how much I love the Blacks. And that makes me remember, will Jake still have that big crush with Bella? I turn to look at him and see how he glances at Bella. I give him a smirk and he scowls with a little red covering his cheeks. Yeah, he still likes her. 

- Billy and Jake came to leave the welcome gift I have for them, Bella this orange truck and, Meg, as you have always liked riding a motorcycle, Jake offered to repair one and sold it to me at a good price for ti - Dad knows how much I love motorcycles. With a little jump of joy, I give the three men in front of me a big hug and I see the little motorcycle that is next to Bella's truck and that I barely noticed. As I check it I see how Jake and Bella are talking while he shows her the truck.

After a while it is time for the Blacks to leave, but not without saying goodbye with a hug and promising that they will come more often to visit us and us to them. Bella, Dad, and I went into the house and made a quick dinner, which happened in quiet silence and a few conversations. Finishing up, Bella and I wash and dry the dishes. Everyone goes upstairs and goes to their room, but not before a good night hug.

I get ready for bed because tomorrow will be a busy day with the new school but I am excited to meet new people. For some reason I have this feeling in my chest about tomorrow, but I put it aside hoping that everything will work out. With one last look at the stars I fall asleep.
