"Buona giornata Rosso (Have a good day Red)," Charlie called from the front door of the Swan House, giving her a wave of his hand as a goodbye.

Amélie chuckled and waved back at him. "Lo zio! Arrivederci! (I will Uncle! I will see you later!)"

Charlie laughed and nodded his head along with her words. He watched her walking towards the large navy van, the same one that was in the accident a few days ago, but it seemed to be repaired of any damage. The side door of the large van swung open to reveal the entire friend group together in the back. They all started calling and cheering for Amélie who threw her hands up in the air in joy seeing all her her friends. Charlie let out a loud booming laughed, it was so loud it caught the attention of the people in the van. The group waved cautiously towards the Chief, who chuckled to himself and waved back.

A body shoved past Charlie to get out of the house. Charlie looked over to see Bella with a large frown on her face. She was wrapped up in many hoodies and coats to keep herself warm with a backpack thrown over her shoulder.

"Have a good day Bella, see you later," Charlie called after Bella, trying to have a small conversation as a goodbye.

Bella kept walking away from him, not bothering to stop. "Yeah, whatever."

Charlie bit the inside of his cheek, trying not to snap at his daughter for her horrible manners. He knew he had to have a discussion with her about her attitude and mannerisms because he was truly disgusted with her behaviour, and it had to stop. Charlie watched the navy van begin to reverse out of the Swan residency and onto the main road. He noticed how Amélie waved at him from the passenger side window, a large smile was spread acrossher face, Charlie smile grew onto his face once more and gently waved back at her, and he continued to do so until the van disappeared down the road towards the reservation.

Charlie sighed to himself before closing the door of his once quiet house and enjoying the day he had gotten to himself.

It was a cold and dreary day, much like everyday in Forks. The sky was filled with dark clouds and they looked as though they were full of rain ready to release it all on the residents of Forks but for now it stayed as it was although the clouds looked darker along the La Push beach. The breeze would remind one of cold knives threading across ones skin, it was freezing but it seemed to be worse down in La Push as they were right by the beach instead of in the centre of town. The waves were choppy and strong and so it was an ideal day for surfers or even swimmers to be in the water. The beach was desolate and their were only a few people in the water making the group of seven the largest group their. It wasn't the ideal day to go down to the beach as there was no sun but it was better than most days for swimming and surfing - Amélie had to thank Benedict for keeping the day nice enough for them.

Jessica, Mike and Eric began getting ready to go into the water. Mike had a grey wetsuit on, Eric had a black one and Jessica had a mixture of a pink and grey wetsuit. They all complained about how annoying and painful it was to get a wetsuit over their bodies. As the three were getting ready Tyler went to get surfboards for the few who were surfing. It left the remaining three to themselves. Amélie and Angela cuddled up with one another under one patched blanket, chatting to one another aimlessly while Bella was leaning against the van, a sombre expression on her face as she was lost in her own world.

"I keep thinking that Eric is going to ask me to prom but then..he just doesn't.." Angela trailed off, upset at her whole ordeal.

"Why not you ask him! You are a strong independent amazing woman!" Amélie spoke out, cheering on Angela for being the amazing woman that she was.
