Bella's Point of View
I wasn't sure what made Charlie decide to do this, but I wasn't about to complain about it.
Forks was a town that I openly detested, with all the rain, and constant clouds hanging in the gloomy sky, it was very unwelcoming.
So when Charlie told me that he had decided to move to La Push, I was ecstatic.
He had moved all his things the week before I flew down there, and managed to purchase a nice little log cabin, sitting a good distance between two other log cabins. The other two where slightly bigger, but I could tell that they had been sitting there a lot longer than the cabin I was now calling home
It was spacious regardless to how small it appeared on the outside. Which finding out I had my own bathroom was another plus that I was more than thankful for.
Unlike Forks, it was warm, the sun came out often, not nearly as much as Phoenix, but I could deal with this. I felt a little better about making the choice to come stay with Charlie, I still wasn't so sure about the high school, that I would be attending bright and early on Monday.
But so far things were going much better than I had first thought.
"Hey Bells, come on out here, we have some visitors who want to see you." Charlie called, standing in the open door way.
I carefully made my way down the wooden stairs, knowing full well that if I didn't go slow I would be slipping, and falling down the whole way. "I'm coming," I assured.
When I made it to Charlie, I was impressed that I only slipped once, and was able to catch myself.
Standing on the porch was a boy, with hair that reached down to his shoulders, and skin that I could only described as the perfect tan.
Beside him was an older man in a wheelchair, this man I recognized to be Billy Black. I only knew this because I had remembered the fishing trips Charlie had taken me on with Billy. I had didn't particularly love this experience, but at the same time I did I learned to truly love reading, because that was the only thing I did to occupy my time.
"Hey Bella, do you remember me?" Billy grinned, taking my hand to give it a shake.
"Of course Billy, how are you,"
"Oh, I'm still chugging along," He chuckled, letting my hand go to look up to the boy that stood next to him. "And I bet you remember my boy here Jacob."
Honestly I hadn't remembered his name, but he did have something about him that was just familiar to me.
I smiled, now turning my attention to Jacob. "Yeah, hey Jake,"
"Hey Bella, don't worry about a thing, I'll ride to school with you on Monday, and show you the ropes." Jacob with an easy smile.
I appreciated that. Now I almost wasn't worried at all about starting school. Everything just seemed to be going right so far, maybe for once in my life, I was getting some good luck.
"Well come on in everyone, I ordered a pizza, if you don't mind staying for a bit Billy." Charlie said leading them into the house. "Our Fridge is kind of empty after making the move out here." He explained with a sheepish look.
"Sure Charlie, we got nothing better to do." Billy agreed, wheeling himself inside, and over to the couch, where the game was on.
Jacob paused by me, offering me a boyish grin. "So, how long do you think you will be staying?"
"I'm not sure," I admitted, timidly walking into the kitchen, and getting into the fridge to get a drink. "Probably a very long time."
That brought my thoughts to my mother, and Phil. I wonder if they are doing alright, if my absence really made that much of a difference. I was sure that Rene would be far happier, and that was the only thing that matter to me.
"Well that's good, this place isn't as bad as you think," He shrugged easily. "If you want, I can take you on a little tour of La Push." His expression was so hopeful, it almost made me laugh.
"Okay, sure." I said, unable to hold back my smile.
I could tell that Jake and I would be great friends, and just knowing this was enough for me to feel better about the whole situation of being here. I had this beautiful place to live, decent weather, and I already had a friend by my side to make this whole thing so much easier.
Jake and I walked out onto the porch, and took a seat on the swing, talking for what felt like hours. The sky started to get dark at some point, but it didn't really seem to matter to Jake, he continued on.
"All I can tell you for sure, if you probably got the wost luck," Jacob said with a slight frown. "You got Sam Uley as a Neighbor, and right on the other side of you is Paul Lahote."
I raised a brow at this. "Why is that bad luck, I'm guessing they are trouble?"
Jacob nodded warily. "They are weird Bells, take my advice on this, stay away from them," He muttered staring into the darkness for a moment.
Well, now there was a little mystery behind La Push...
Please Review, and let me know what you think of all of this.
