Bella POV

It was back again. Another summer, another two months of non-stop reading. What else was there to do? Other then things that wouldn't put myself and those around me in danger.

About a week into the summer I came downstairs, fully dressed and carrying a book. It was always the same book, Wuthering Heights. I couldn't get tired of the good and evil of it, the romance that was so much different than the kind everyone talked about now. Really, I would've been reading on my way down, but I was afraid of hurting myself.

I got myself a bowl of cereal and a spoon, then sat down at the table. I looked out the window, daydreaming. I sensed Renee enter the room, and I broke away from my daydreams.

"Good morning, Mom," I said, smiling. She smiled back, and it reminded me of looking in a mirror. Well, minus the laugh lines.

"Morning, sweetheart. I have an idea for you," she said, suddenly getting nervous. That worried me.

"What is it, Mom?" I asked, knowing something was wrong.

"Well, I don't think it's healthy for you to be at home all day. You need to be out more, getting excercise. So, I was thinking, maybe you could get a summer job!" She said, trying to brighten it up and look like some kind of wonderful oppurtunity.

"Mom, this is my summer. I don't want to spend it working. Besides, you know I don't have any friends," I said, stating the obvious.

"Which is my point! You could make new ones by getting a job. You can get more books if you're earning your own money," she answered, knowing that I was trapped. She knew I was a sucker for books, and I would have no problem with getting more.

"Fine, but I'm going to need a car," I said. If I was going to have to go to work, I might as well get to drive.

"Not if you carpool," she replied.

"Who am I going to carpool with on my first day?" I asked. She sighed.

"You can use the car for the first few days, until you find someone to carpool with. Okay?" She answered. I could live with that.

"Where should I look?" I asked.

"I heard that they're looking for extra help at the local pool," she offered.

"I can't be a lifeguard. After I pull somebody out of the water, someone else is going to have to pull me out of the water," I said, shooting her offer down. She wasn't going down without a fight.

"You don't have to be a lifeguard. There are other jobs you can do. You can be an attendant, helping the lifeguard make sure that everyone is following the rules. Please, just apply," she said.

"Alright," I said, washing off my bowl, grabbing the keys, and walking out the door with a quick, "See you later!"

Edward POV

I was at Chicago O'Hare International Airport, waiting for my flight to Phoenix. I couldn't believe this. My parents were sending me away because they wanted to spend the summer alone. They had said, 'We haven't had a summer to ourselves in such a long time. Besides, you love your aunt and uncle. Please, just give it a chance.' What was I going to say anyway? I was underage and I had no choice but to obey their wishes.

Then my flight was called.

We stood up, and my mother was already crying. I was going to miss them.

"Bye, Mom. Bye, Dad. I'll e-mail and call, I promise," I said, hugging them. Then I walked away, boarding my six hour flight to Phoenix.

I had a seat in first class, naturally. My family was well off. We had gone on plenty of vacations, always flying first class.

I put my big suitcase and carry-on bag into the overhead compartment. I sat on the outside seat and buckled in. I sat there for about ten minutes, waiting to take off.

Finally the pilot announced that we were about to take off and to strap our seatbelts. There still wasn't anybody next to me, which was fine.

Soon we were ascending. This and landing were my least favorite parts of flying. My ears always popped and my stomach was queasy. I just sat there, staring ahead and waiting for the pilot to say we could take off our seatbelts and take out our carry-on bags.

He finally told us we were high enough to use electronics and take off our seatbelts. I jumped up and took my carry-on bag out of the compartment. I searched through it for a moment, then pulled out my iPod.

I listened to all my favorite music until the screen in the front of the plane to fasten our seatbelts and put away our belongings. I did so and waited to land.

vampiregirl26's AN: Yup, I did some research on the airport. This wasn't very long, but the chapters will get longer. Please vote in my poll! And review!
