Close My Eyes (Twilight Fan-fiction)

Chapter 1 - Welcome To Forks, WA

A/N: This is my first attempt at a Twilight fanfic, the blurb sounds really shit, but please read on. I've switched it up a little, Bella goes to Forks to live with Renée, not Charlie. It will be PG-13, possibly even Rated R for language and violence. Votes much appreciated :) ~ WorshipStew

"Are you sure that you're gonna be okay?"

"Yes Char--dad. I'll be fine, I promise."

Me and Charlie were both feeling a little uncomfortable; displaying affectionate emotions was not on either of our agendas. I was leaving Phoenix, the place of constant sun, to Forks. It was always cloudy and rainy in Forks. I would miss the heat, the sun and the warmth; but it was time to live with Renée for awhile. When Renée and Charlie split up, Renée moved all the way to Forks. I've never understood why she'd leave bright Phoenix for dreary Forks but I had a feeling it was because Phil played baseball there. Phil was a little young for Renée but she was head over heels. I've never really met Phil, my step-dad, but I guess now is my chance.

"I'll miss you Bells." Charlie said, tearing up a little.

"I'll miss you too, dad." I whispered, getting emotional and pulling him into a hug.

"Make sure that you tell Renée I said hello, and make sure that Phil treats you right."

"I will dad, I promise." I answered, my voice muffled against his shoulder.

He released me before handing me my luggage, only a small suit case. All my clothes were too small to wear in Forks, so I didn't bring much. I'd have to go shopping when I got there, though I'm not sure that Forks is high in fashion.

I waved bye to Charlie, feeling really down about leaving him and sunny Phoenix behind, but it was for the best. I would make plans to see him soon anyway. I boarded my plane and sat down heavily in my seat. The plane ride wasn't long, maybe an hour, but I found my mood dropping lower and lower as we got nearer to Forks. The sun would get dimmer the closer we were; I supposed I should get used to it. The only plus was meeting with Edward and Alice, and the rest of the Cullens again. I used to see them when I was younger, particularly Edward and Alice, when I used to visit Renée all the time in Forks. We used to hang out everyday that I was there: me Edward and Alice; just kids having fun. I stopped seeing Renée when Phil moved in, so I stopped seeing the Cullens too. Renée seemed happy so I didn't feel that I had to visit her as often, I ended up not going at all until now. She'd usually come to me in Phoenix, leaving Phil in Forks. It'd been years since I'd seen the Cullens, I'd been only about 12. I was 17 now, I wondered what they all looked like; all grown up. I still spoke to Edward and Alice over text occasionally, and Edward came down to Phoenix a while after I stopped seeing Renée, but other than that, I hadn't seen any of them for years.

Finally, the plane touched down. It was getting late, the sky was dark, but then I remembered; it's always dark in Forks. I sighed and went through all the customs to get myself out the airport. When I found the parking lot, dragging my suitcase behind me, it started to drizzle. I saw Renée through the haze of rain, eagerly waving her hands to get my attention. In a lot of ways, she was like a child.

"Bella! Honey! Over here!" She shouted across the parking lot.

"I can see you mom!" I yelled back, laughing. Phil was standing beside her, next to his black Audi. He didn't look particularly happy to see me, but I thought that it could just be that he's standing in the rain; that could be making him pissed. I reached her and she immediately pulled me into a hug. I smiled at Phil over her shoulder but he seemed to have to force a smile back at me. How strange? I'd barely met him and it seemed already that he didn't like me. Then I remembered; the rain. It's probably just the rain. He probably wants to get inside. I released Renée.
