BELLA'S P.O.V)
Five years.
After long five years I am back to Forks. The morning after I saved Aro, mom explained to me that she and dad are not happy anymore with each other so they decided to end their marriage. Mom moved to Arizona with me while Charlie my dad stayed at Forks. Since then I never went back to Forks again. Until now. I made sure to bid goodbye to Renee properly since I am not sure if I will see her again. Renee, she's a perfect definition of a child. Carefree, easy-going, childish, adventurous... sometimes I felt like I am the mother between the two of us. But whatever, I love my mom no matter how childish she is. You see, that's one of the reason I am back to Forks. I love my mom too much that I let her live freely with Phil, the man she fell in love with. Phil is a good man and I can tell he loves Renee. I know how mom likes to travel but she can't go with Phil because of me. She always worried about me, she don't want to leave me alone by myself even I told her I will be fine, so everytime Phil invite her to travel she always decline and I felt bad about it. One day, when Charlie called home I kinda blurted out my concern about mom to him and he suggested that if I want I can always come back to Forks, that I am always welcome to his home. A week after that talk with Charlie, I decided I will give it a try, for mom and also for Charlie. Truth to be told, I miss him. For five years he never skipped calling me every weekend to ask how am I doing. In every call I can tell how much he misses me, I can feel though he is not around I know he loves me. I thought maybe this is my chance to show him how grateful I am to be his daughter. I know I don't have much time left for me. Soon, Aro will come to me and change me. Yes, Aro and I still have communication. For the first month after I saved him he sent a guard to watch over me, to make sure I won't reveal their secrets. Honestly, who in their right mind will believe me if I ever talk about their existence to humans?
"Welcome home, Bells." Charlie announced cheerfully disrupting my thought. The moment I got out of the car, I was hit by a cold wind that made me shiver a little which did not go unnoticed by Charlie. "Let's go inside before you catch a cold." I just nodded then followed him inside the house. The house never change at all, it still looks like the same house Renee and I left five years ago. It felt... nostalgic.
"Is my room still the same one?" I asked Charlie who nodded in confirmation "I think I can use a little nap, I'm a bit tired. And dad?"
"Yes, Bells? You need something else?" I just shook my head then I surprise him by giving him a hug which he return awkwardly.
"I missed you, dad. Thank you for letting me live here again." I said sincerely to him.
"I missed you too and I am happy you're here." with that I released him to our hug then made my way to my room.
Once in my room, I ignored the boxes I need to unpack and went straight to bed. I lay there just contemplating what my life would become here in Forks. The thought of school made me groan. I hate school. That place are full of hormonal teenage boys and girls who love to gossips, not to mention evil teachers who loves to embarrass new kids like me by asking to introduce yourself in front of the class. 'Ugh! I hate being a new kid.'
I woke up at the sounds of someone knocking on my door. I groggily stood up from my bed and head to my door knowing it's just Charlie. I don't even remember when I had fallen asleep or how long I've been asleep.
"Hey dad, what's up?" I asked blinking sleepily.
"Morning, Bells. You should get ready for school if you don't want to be late. Come downstairs when you're done I have uhm gift for you." Charlie said smiling nervously at me. I just stared at him for a moment not registering what was being said. "Bells, you alright?"
"Y-yeah I'm fine, Charlie. I- uh.. yeah school. I should get ready." I stuttered blinking stupidly trying to clear my mind from sleepiness. I haven't realized I slept that long and it's already morning. Charlie muttered a simple 'okay' then went back to the kitchen. I quickly went to my suitcase to choose an outfit for today then got ready, I made sure to wear a thick bracelet to hide my scar that bitten by Aro. Once I'm done, I went to the kitchen where Charlie waiting for me only to be greeted by a smoke and a frantic dad.
