Bella POV

I never wanted to leave Forks but the day that Renée left Charlie I had a choice. Either go with the reckless teenage soul who couldn't survive without me, or stay with the one who emotionally needed me. At that time it was the hardest decision I've had to make, but I chose. I packed my bags and headed off to Arizona with Renée. I was only seven when we left, and no seven year old should have to make that decision. Sure I visited Charlie for the nine summers after that but I guess I sort of just didn't like the hassle and having to leave the few friends I had in Arizona for the summers. Or at least that's what I told myself.

But then suddenly it all changed. Renée met Phil, and it was love at first sight. I mean sure he was cool in a 10 years younger than my mom sort of way. All too quickly they moved in together, or should I say "We" moved in together. Then we traveled because of his baseball career, and at one point we ended up in Buffalo. That's when the road of life I was on hit a ditch, the Cullen's . The most beautiful people I had ever laid my eyes on. Flawless appearances, heartbreakingly gorgeous, and of course Edward. He was the love of what I thought was my existence but apparently wasn't. We didn't share each other's same opinions, and he left me and shattered my heart and soul into a millions pieces while doing so. But according to him if he changed me into what he was I would be completely soulless. So I guess it's good that he left me in a zombie state, with no reason to move on. Renée of course didn't see what was wrong she saw it as a little high school fling; Oh Renée my naive clueless Mother. Two months into the zombie state she snapped threatening me with therapy or a mental facility. That's when I cracked I knew if anyone heard the story of my love life with a vampire, I would be royally screwed and strapped into a white jacket that let me hug myself. So I made a deal I told Renée it was the memory of him was in the house we lived in. I told her a change of scenery would fix me up. And that's how I got here, how every many thousands of miles up in the air on my way to Seattle, on my way home.

I smiled down at the green forest from my first class window seat courtesy of Phil, and I thought of the last time I was in Forks.

Flashback

"I'm goanna miss you Bella." A fifteen year old Embry had a sad expression plastered on his face. We were standing on first beach the waves were crashing against the sand.

"Em I'm going to miss you too, but I'll be back next summer." I was holding back tears when Embry pulled me into a bear hug then released me.

"Bells" Jacobs newly deepened voice rung out I turned with a smile, he looked just as sad as Em if not more.

"Jakey." I pulled him into the tightest hug I could manage, the tears in my eye threating to spill over.

"It's just not going to be the same without you bells," Jake said. "You're my best friend."

"Hey man!" Embry yelled in protest, Jacob rolled his eyes.

"Speaking of best friends where's Qu-" I was cut off by being tackled by russet skinned boy. "Quil you're going to get sand in my hair." I whined. I looked up at him still lying under him, his eyes were puffy it looked like he'd been crying. "Oh Quil" the tears started to spill down my cheeks.

"Belly," Quil brushed the tears and sand out of my face his deep brown eyes bore into mine. My heart beat quickened.

"Hey Quil, do you think you could get off my daughter." I looked up and saw Charlie; I hadn't heard the cruiser pull up. Quil jumped of me and pulled my up by my hand. I smiled at my dad who returned it. "Ready to go?" My dad asked.

"Yeah but I left my back pack on the drift wood down there." I pointed a little bit down the beach.

"We'll get it." Embry and Jacob said at the same time. "Come on Charlie let's let Quill and Bella say goodbye." Embry winked at Quil and me. I guess everyone knew we both liked each other. Quil walked me around the other side of the cruiser to the passenger seat.

"Well I guess this is goodbye," I said.

"I guess so," Quil said back. We stood like there for a few seconds. Deciding nothing was going to happen I pulled open the door to the cruiser a large russet hand slammed it shut and pushed my back to the car, Quil's warm lips were on mine I dropped the bag I had on my shoulder and brought my hands up to his face, after what felt like only a few seconds Quil pulled away and pressed his lips lightly to mine one more time. He pulled his hand from my hair.

"I knew you were going to miss me." I said breathless.

"How could I not." He answered. "Oh and you have sand in your hair." He smiled his usually cocky smile.

"Well maybe if someone didn't tackle me." I said back.

"I didn't tackle you, I fell." He stated.

"Sure, sure. I'll try and remember that" I rolled my eyes.

He just smiled.

"Chief approaching." Quil whispered in my ear, and then pulled away.

"Ready now Bells." Jake said winking, Embry smacked him over the head, I mouthed a thank you. Charlie just looked at us confused and rolled his eyes, clueless Daddy's.

"We don't wanna miss you plane, your mom will skin me." Charlie said.

"Bye guys." I said pulling Jake, Embry, and Quil into one last big hug .I picked up the bag I dropped next to the car. I hopped in the car and pulled the door shut. Charlie pulled away leaving me with that last memories of my friends. And my last memory of Quil.

End flashback

"Miss, Miss?" I snapped out of the flashback to look up at the flight attendant. "We will be landing in 5 minutes can you buckle your seatbelt please." I felt blood rushing to my cheeks embarrassed of my daze.

"Of course." I said I clipped the safety belt tight, and looked out the window once more. I smiled, I was coming home.
