I SAT WAITING FOR THE LOUD announcement that we now landed in Seattle, Washington before getting off the blue plane seat. I followed the stream of people out of the plane carefully taking in my surroundings.
I haven't been in Washington since I was thirteen years old. It partly wasn't my fault. Bella didn't want to come up here anymore, she'd rather have dad come down to Arizona, which he did, to see us. Imagine the looks on everyone's faces when Bella said she wanted to move in with dad and I wanted to travel more. They definitely didn't expect it, especially since I did miss everything that was here, greatly so. I missed the rain and the peaceful nights. I missed my long hikes in the woods with my old friends.
So when dad called me one night, pleading with me to come and help him with Bella, I couldn't say yes faster. I always had intentions of moving back in with my father, I just never got to the chance. I was too busy on the road with mom and Phil.
My mom helped me pack everything up, crying about how her last baby was moving away. I couldn't tell you how many times I've stopped packing up my things to hug my mom and try to calm her down with a promise to always keep in touch. She accepted my promise before wiping her eyes and finishing with my packing. We finished in two days and shipped everything immediately. I wanted everything there when I get there in the following week.
My dad had told me that everything was set up, and I was going to be sleeping in my own part of the house downstairs- it used to be an office before dad remodeled it for me. I thanked him graciously, getting more excited about the fact that I was going home.
"Jules." I looked up at my name being called to see my dad standing around with his hands in his pockets. He must have just gotten off work because he was still in his work uniform.
I smiled as I realized that I missed my dad. I haven't been up to visit and he hasn't come down to Arizona, so it's been a while since I've actually seen him. I walked up to him before shoving my arms around his waist. I knew that he wasn't a very emotional guy, but I couldn't wait to smell the familiarity of him- the gun power and outdoorsy scent that lingered on everything in the house. I sighed in dad's arms as I felt complete finally.
