( Luella's POV) 


He pulled into the outside of our childhood home, which had fishing gear set up on the outside, and a small boat put away in the garage with a few other things tossed about in the yard. It brought me back to good times that were spent fishing with the Black family: me and Bella and Jacob and his sisters, the twins, a couple years older than me, laughing and setting lines.

As Bella and I climbed out of the cruiser, the chill, moist air wrapped itself around us like a damp cloth. So different from the arid heat of Arizona. Dad grabbed Bella's three suitcases and we went inside; the cases looked like they weighed more than she did. Walking into the house was a lot like going back in time-instantively familiar, yet totally strange because the TV in the living room was new, flat-screen for watching the game on lazy afternoons.

"I put Grandpa's old desk in your room, and I cleared some shelves in the bathroom," Dad said, sounding a little wistful. "Right—one bathroom," Bella frowned, clearly not thrilled about sharing. I kicked her under the table to lighten up, but she just stared at me like she had no idea what was wrong. Being the older sister, she was pretty clueless; most of the time, I felt like I was the one guiding her through basic things that kids usually pick up by five.

I went upstairs to my room, and it was virtually unchanged from memory. Because all my decoration items had been previously shipped, I was anxious to begin decorating my room. After fiddling about thirty minutes-moves here and there and then hanging up a picture or so-I felt I did an extraordinary job. This room was much cozier; it was quite my own space.

As I finished, I went downstairs to meet Jacob and his dad Billy Black. It was a visit that was ok, but the only time outside lasted for about a few minutes. In which I found out Bella and I shared the truck. Of course, that was nice and all, yet it made me a little jittery; because Bella drove so slow, I hate driving at such a crawling pace.

After my brief discussion outside, I returned to my room and completed some finishing touches to my decor. Then I got a snack and prepared myself for bed. I sat down, and my mind was consumed with the thoughts of tomorrow and all that it would bring. Excited yet a little nervous, since I didn't know what to expect. But secretly, I wish everything will be okay, and all I ever wanted was to fit in.

While lying in bed, my last thought was:

Tomorrow will be good.
