My hands shake as I sit down on the white plastic bench. "Plane 101 departing in 5 minutes. Plane 101 departing in 5 minutes." The intercom sounds over the bustling crowd. Five minutes. And then I'll be on the plane to Forks. I haven't been to America in quite some time. I've been at hoarding school since I could walk. You see my parents never thought that a child... suited their lifestyle. Although I'm not complaining, I've learnt alot.

I got a call last week from my uncle Charlie. Before I left for England we were rather close, him and I. Me and Bella got on well, I was born only six months before her and we acted like sisters. Charlie has told me that alot has happened lately. Bella fell in love with a boy called Edward who has recently left her. Apparently she is in pieces and Charlie is hoping that I can help her somehow.

I pick up my bags and start to walk towards the plane. After boarding, I settle into my seat and plug in my earphones. The flight is around 8 hours, so I have a longgggggg journey ahead of me.

Fast forward and eight hours later I'm back in my home country. Hailing a taxi, I help load my bags into the boot before sliding into the back of the car. The journey from where I am now to Charlie's house is two hours, which isn't that long after the amount of time I spent on that plane, but still. TEN HOURS of travelling in ONE DAY!!

When I arrive I smile to myself. The house looks exactly the same as I remember it. I pay the taxi driver and he helps me lift out my bags. "Thank you!" I call as he opens his door and slides in. He ignores me and I roll my eyes before knocking on he door. "QUINN!" Charlie cries, before hugging me tight. "Hello Uncle." I laugh. He puts his hands on my shoulders and takes a look at me. "Wow, you've - you've grown. Up." He stutters. I smile and blush lightly.
"Well, I am eighteen now, not three." I say. He smiles and steps aside so that I can come in.

"So er, you can ether share with or sleep on the couch, it's you're choice." Charlie tells me, whilst scratching the back of his head. "I'll bunk with Bella." I decide. Charlie sighs and smile sadly at me. "Thank you for coming Q, it means alot to me. I just need her back." He mutters. I nod in understanding and hug him quick before rushing upstairs. "Bells! Guess who it is!!" I sing as I swing open her bedroom door and dropping my bags on the floor. "Quinn?" A small, weak voice questions from the other side of the room. I walk over to the talking black chair. I spin it around and  she looks up at me.

I can't help a small gasp coming from my lips. She looks TERRIBLE! Now I don't mean it rudely, but it's true. She's skinny. I mean she always has been, but not THIS skinny. It's unhealthy, dangerous even. She hasn't slept well in quite some time - dark bags hang under her eyes. Her eyes. There's no.... light in here. She just looks sad. "Oh Bells." I whisper, before hugging her. She stays stiff and I quickly let go. "Wh- why are you here?" She frowns. "Oh..... just visiting. I'm finally free of school." I laugh. She nods but not even a hint of a smie shows on her lips.

We say in silence for quite a while. "I'll be right back, ok?" I say. I get no answer and bow my head before leaving. I walk downstairs and into the kitchen. "How is she?" Charlie asks, leaning against the doorway awkwardly. "Bad. I'm making some food for her. Want any?" I ask.
"That'd be great Q. Thanks." Charlie replies. I nod and turn to the fridge.

Bella doesn't come down for dinner, so afterwards I bejng her up a bowl. She hardly notices it. "Wanna watch a movie? I've missed American tv." I joke. No reply.
"So do you have any spare blankets or duvets?" I ask.
"Try the closet in the hallway." She murmurs. I walk out and grab a blanket, duvet, pillow and some sheets. I make a makeshift bed on the floor and then have a shower. "Bells the bathroom is free if you want a shower." I tell her. She ignores me and I smile sadly. "Ok, well goodnight." I say. No reply.

I startle awake in the middle of the night and look around. In her bed Bella is screaming, loudly. I stand up and stop for a second, my eyes blurring slightly due to quickly I had gotten up. Then I shake her awake. "Bells! Bella wake up!" I whisper shout. Her eyes shoot open and she relaxes slightly. "It was only a dream. Only a dream Bella." I say, holding and rocking her. "Only a dream." She repeats, leaning against me.
