MAKE ME BLEED, alice cullen

one | the move

nova swan's point of view!

unlike bella, iris and i hate phoenix. it's to hot for our liking. we both prefer the cold over heat. which is why we're so happy that we're finally moving back to forks.

i had two best friends that lived there, paul and jared. but who knows if there still there.

we're currently waiting for bella to get in the car so we can go to the airport. bella mine and iris' cousin. after our parents died we moved in with my aunt renee, she was my mothers sister, and out uncle charlie. renee and charlie were still together at the time. i was 4 when we moved in with them, iris was just a baby. bella was 3, only a year younger than me. bella, iris, and i are all pretty close but i'm closest with iris. she's my baby sister and i practically raised her. we've been attached to each other since she was born.

as phil, aunt renee's new husband, yells to bella and renee to hurry up, iris mutters to me from where we are both standing against the car, "does she have to be so dramatic? i just wanna hurry up and get on that plane so we can watch mamma mia." i nod agreeing with her. mamma mia has always been our favorite movie. we watch it all the time. we have 'sister nights' where we get pizza, paint out nails, gossip, and of course, watch mamma mia.

iris has always been a very blunt and sarcastic person. ever since she could talk she was sassing everyone. most people found it annoying but i think it's hilarious.

finally bella walks over to the car and we finally head over to the airport. we get to the airport and get out of the car. renee cries as she hugs us three goodbye. we all give phil hugs too. it's finally time to go in.

i have a lot of luggage, multiple suitcases, so we have to get help to bring them to baggage check. i just like clothes. i like to have options when i'm getting dressed.

"are you guys ready?" i ask.

"hell yeah. i can't wait to see uncle charlie again!" iris says excitedly. bella just nods, which is no surprise because she's always been super quiet. she's the total opposite of iris and i but that's why we're all so close. she balances us out, keeps us from doing things that we most definitely should not do. she's the mother of our trio.

we board the plane and find our seats. i get the aisle seat, iris gets the middle, and bella gets the window seat.

i take out my earbuds and hand one to iris while i plug them into my phone. i put on mamma mia and relax in my seat. iris rests her head on my shoulder as the movie starts. i rest my head on hers.

i wake up to iris lifting her head off my shoulder. we both ended up falling asleep. we glance around and realize that the plane has landed. we all quickly gathered our things and got off the plane.

after grabbing our things from the baggage claim, and getting help with mine, we head outside. i glance up at the cloudy sky and sigh. i love the feeling of the cold air on my cheeks. my red hair flows with the wind.

we all spot charlie's police cruise. i begin to practically buzz with excitement. iris too.

i squeal happily as he steps out of his car, "uncle charlie!" i run up to him, jumping into his arms.

i'm suddenly tugged out of the hug by iris. i playfully glare at her as she says, "move loser. it's my turn." she grips onto charlie. i know that he's the only father figure she's really ever had. she doesn't remember our parents since she was only a few months old when they died.

after iris is done hugging him, bella gives him an awkward side hug. i snort, "weirdo." i laugh at her. she playfully glares at me.

"alright, alright. how about we start heading home? we have about an hour drive." uncle charlie says making us all nod and hop into the cruiser. bella gets the front seat, leaving me and iris in the back behind the cage-looking thing.

"is this how prisoners feel because i do not like it." i joke. everyone chuckles at that.

we finally made it to charlie's house. i step out of the car and smile towards the house i spent many years it. i loved coming here for summers but then bella didn't want to go anymore and renee didn't want iris and i to travel alone.

"i missed this place." i sigh out happily. charlie smiles at me and iris nods in agreement, "me too." she says brightly.

we're finally home and i couldn't be happier. i want to go see if paul and jared still live here. they were practically my brothers growing up.

we walk into the house and charlie shows bella her room before turning to us, "your room is this way. i hope you don't mind sharing."

"that's fine." we say in sync. we turn to each other giggling slightly.

he leads us to a small staircase, to the attic. he opens a door at the top of the stairs. the room is beautiful. it's perfect for us.

"i love it, uncle charlie!" i gasp.

"this room is so cool." iris says in amazement.

"i'm glad you girls like it." he smiles. "i'll let you get settled it now. your surprise should be arriving soon." we smile and nod.

after charlie leaves, i jump onto the bed on the left, "i call dibs on this bed!" i say to iris.

"screw you." iris grumbles making me laugh as she walks over to the bed on the right.

this move is going to be good for us.
