Chapter 1.
It was morning and the sky was cloudy. Although, it was summertime the weather didn't follow the season's outline. Some days it would still rain and could be cold. Bella looked out of her window and imagined her Yiayia's place where everything was luminated by the Sun. She smiled knowing that she would see that place again.
She looked around her room and she sat at her old wooden desk. She picked her notebook; touched the exterior softly and opened it. She always liked to keep notes for her days. So many memories and thoughts were treasured in those pages, a part of herself that no one has ever seen. When she found the empty page she started her writing.
This particular entry was so important for her. Her entire world was about to change but she didn't know that. She couldn't imagine yet, the significance of her decision to move in another country. But Life always has been unexpected and Bella would learn that love would transform her entirely.
In a few days I will be in another continent. I love my family and my home but there is another world waiting for me. Sometimes I have this feeling that I have to leave from here in order to find my path, like it was meant to be. In that place I won't be Isabella or Bella I can just be Marie or Maria.
Bella remembered all the happy memories she had during her holidays with her grandmother, her Yiayia as she was calling her in Greek.
My Yiayia is the most incredible person in my whole life. She has a big hug and comforting words for everyone. She is respected by all and her house is a place open for those that seek advice. She is the wisest person I have ever met and I truly love her. She understands me in a way that no other person has understood me. It is like we are linked, she knows what I am thinking without having to say a word.
My Yiayia lives in Greece and I have all these amazing childhood memories from there. Mostly, I visited Greece during the summertime always with my twin sister Alice slash tornado and my cousin Rosalie. We all live in the States with our families. I have to admit that when we were younger our Greek were not so good, so our cousins – ksaderfia - were teasing us about it. They even called us Charlie's Angel because we were all the time together.
So, Who am I? I am Half Greek Half American or Greek American. My dad Charlie Swan is Chief of Police in Washington's Forks and my mom Renee or Irene Higgis is a teacher. She is the most outgoing person in the whole world. I really loved her but it seems to have more Charlie in me, while Alice is definitely Renee's clone!
What can I say about my sister Alice? Well, for starters she is my best friend. She is the most loving person I know, but she can be pain in the ass sometimes! She really loves fashion and spends so much money for shoes that my father once almost had a heart attack! (Poor Dad!)
She could listen her sister approaching her room – she giggled, speak of the Devil…
"There you are Bella! We were looking for you with Rose. Hurry up! We have a plane to catch!"
Bella rolled her eyes. She wasn't late and she knew it. It seems that the anticipation was killing them.
"You found me Alice. I will be down in 5 minutes."
Alice sighed but left Bella alone to continue her writing.
We have a plane to catch. Alice, Rosalie and I are going to stay for a year in Athens on our own, but first we are going to visit yiayia and I am so happy about it. I really like Forks but it is a cold place. It might not show but I am a girl that loves the sun, the heat. I love my summers in Heaven! So, Athens Here We Come and I have a Feeling that our lives will change.
My next entry will be from yiayia's house. I am ready for the unknown...
Bella closed her notebook and put it in her bag. She looked around the room that was hers since she was born, turned off the light and said a silent goodbye. She closed the door and stepped down the stairs.
She wanted to remember all the details of this house, because she had so many good memories living here. Everywhere she would look she could see scenes from her past. She left a sigh, holding back her tears. She went to the kitchen and took a glass of water, she just held it without pouring water in it. A single tear fell from her eye and she stood there like a statue.
When she composed herself she went to the living room. She saw all their family pictures and smiled remembering. She was ready; she had to go to the porch.
Step by step she reached the door's knob and opened it. When she was almost out of the house she left a last sigh and closed the door. Her sister looked at her but said nothing. Bella went to the car and got in. She knew she would never return to Forks.
