Bella's POV

I knew my choice was weird and I knew that it was not a decision most seniors graduating would choose. I did believe that it was the right decision for me though. Something that would benefit me greatly.

I just finished high school, graduated and ready to go to college in Alaska the next year. I wanted to be a writer. I always love to curl up beside the fire or by a window, when it is raining, and read a good book. I have my favorites, the ones I love, and I want to be the type of author that other people will love. I want to give other people something to read. A book where some nerdy girl, like me, could curl up and escape from her life to the wonderful pages of a novel. An escape from reality. That's how I felt the books I read were and I want to provide that to someone.

I want to be someone's escape. So many times I got lost in the fantasy world of my books. My favorite by far was the book, Hatchet. The author, Gary Paulsen, captured this world so magnificently. I wanted to write a book like that. So, that's why I made my decision. That's why I decided it.

Let me tell you about myself a bit. My name is Bella Swan and I am eighteen years old. I have never been a outsider but, I don't pride myself in a social life. I have a few friends and that's all I ever believed I needed. I had long brown hair, that I always kept pulled up, and brown eyes to match. I had a small build and unfortunately I am very clumsy. And of course, I love to read.

I also have a past that I let no one know about. It was a secret of mine that I did not plan on letting anyone in on. I let my parents know and that was it. I try to forget it every second on my life but, I remember it every night I sleep. So, now I take sleeping pills to further wash out the memories.

The pain was another reason to escape, Renee and Phil have been especially sympathetic and I could not take it much longer. This all the more solidified my decision.

The only hard part was convincing my parents.

Renee would be a breeze and my step-dad Phil would go along with her. My mom was a wild one, and was open to any decision I made. She was very young at heart and I knew that she would understand my decision. Phil, would be the one who paid. He was a major league baseball player, so you could just imagine the amount of money he was raking in.

Charlie would be the difficult one to convince. He was not so care-free as my mother, although, he was the better parent. He was more caring and more cautious. He truly loved me, even though I did not get to spend much time with him. He was the one who was heart broken after my parents divorce. I know I can convince him though.

"Mom?" I asked sitting down at he dinning table where Phil was reading the paper and my mom was eagerly typing away on her pink laptop.

"Yeah Bells?" She said smiling and taking a sip of her coffee.

"I decided where I wanted to go." I started to ring my hands under the table, I was nervous. Phil put down the paper and my mom pushed her laptop to he side. They both wanted to hear this.

"Where is it sweetie?" Renee asked.

"I know this is weird but, just hear me out. Okay, I'm just going to say it, I wanted to abandoned on an island. I know, it's weird but, you know that I like to write and I would love to write a novel about this, and the experience would be a great one. This is what I want and you said I could have what I wanted, anywhere in the worl-" I was cut off my Renee.

"Bella. Stop. If that is what you want then, you can have it." Renee said.

"What?" Phil said utterly shocked that I would not choose to go to Paris or a cruise like the other girls I knew.

"Now, Phil," Renee started, " I know that Bella's decision will be the right one for her."

"So I can go?!" I asked excited.

"Of course but, we will have some rules!" We can discuss them over dinner, and you need to tell Charlie about it. You are eighteen so, remind him that he can't tell you no!" Renee laughed at that, knowing that Charlie would be quick to jump to a instant no.

I rushed up to my room, scared that if I stayed at the table for a minute longer they would change their minds. I grabbed up my cell phone and called Charlie's police station.

"Forks Police Department, how can I help you?" The secretary Annie, asked.

"Hello Annie, this is Bella, is my dad in?"

"Oh! Isabella! How are you sweetie?" Annie was a talker and I would be lucky if I got to talk to my dad at all.

"I'm doing fine Annie. Can I please talk to my dad?" I said pushing all politness away.

"Yes, yes, I'll get him right now." I was happy that I was not stuck on the phone for half an hour talking to an overly enthused secretary. Forks didn't have much crime, the police station was pretty boring. I couldn't really blame Annie for wanting to talk to someone.

"Hello?" Charlie answered.

"Hey dad, it's Bella."

"Hey Bells, you okay kiddo?" I didn't call Charlie too often, especially not at work so it would be normal for him to worry,

"Yes, I'm fine. How have you been?"

"I've been great."

"Good…so…"

I told Charlie my decision and at first he was hesitant but, in the end I won and he too said he would have some rules that he would call later to discuss with my mother. I agreed after him promising that they would not be too drastic.

I was excited. I got to go on my trip!

Dinner came in a rush. Before I knew it Renee was calling me down to dinner. I took my usual seat at the table after grabbing me a plate full of food.

"So, rules?" I said wanting to jump straight into this. I also had brought down a pen and a piece of paper so I could write it down.

"Okay," my mother started, " your dad's one and only rule is this, you must take someone with you. And it will be decided by your father."

"How is he possibly going to get someone to do that?" I asked shocked.

"I think he got that secretary of his to send out an article. I'm sure there will be someone out there willing to go. Anyway, our rules. Here is a list of what you are REQUIRED to take. No argument." She handed me a printed off piece of paper and I read over the list.
