Emily Swan never really seemed to fit in anywhere she went. She only ever found herself feeling complete when she was with her twin sister Bella. They never went anywhere without the other, and so when Bella offered to go to Forks to live with Charl...

Emily's PoV
Tears clouded my eyes as I glanced over at my mum quickly moving forward pulling her into a tight hug.
"Goodbye mom, I love you!" I mutter into her neck as I breathe in her comforting smell of Lavender.
Mum pulls back slightly, looking me directly in the eye, "I love you too sweetie, be safe and look after your sister," she smiles brightly before hugging me again.
"I will," I choke out before tapping her softly on the shoulder, "Mum you have to say goodbye to Bella or we will miss our flight."
"Okay," she whispers gently, slowly strutting over to Bella, wrapping her in a ironclad hug, just like she had given me.
I smile widely as the sight of my mother and sister clutched in an emotional embrace.
Phil carefully approaches me, offering a small smile, "Take care Em, look after your sister and stay out of trouble."
I chuckle to myself looking up at him, "As long as you take care of my mum."
He gives me a fake salute and nods accordingly, before grabbing my suitcase and placing it into the back of the taxi.
I quickly grab my phone from my back pocket and check the time. My eyes widen when I see that it was 3:15pm and our plane was leaving in roughly two hours. I mean we still had to make our way to the airport and pass through all the security checks.
Worried, I call out to Bella and Mum, "Sorry to ruin the goodbye moment but we need to the leave or else the plane will leave without us!"
Bella sends me a quick nod and gives Mum one final hug, before I drag her inside the Taxi. I roll down the window and wave at Mum and Phil.
"We love you, both of you," I heard Mum shout in an emotional mess.
I smile softly, blowing her a kiss as Bella shouts back to her.
"We love you too."

I lean back into the dull grey seats of the Taxi as the man drove us all the way to the airport. Surprisingly the traffic wasn't all that bad and we made it with plenty of time to spare. I got out and paid the man while Bella pulls our luggage over to the sidewalk. I quickly join her and we wheel our suitcases inside.
I browse around the shop, buying a sandwich for Bella and I to eat before boarding the plane. I also relieved my bladder in the women's toilets just as we were about to make our way to the plane. The moment we got on I feel myself sink into the seat by the window; Bella right next to me.
I smile at her while I fish around my small bag looking for my headphones. I connect them to my phone and starting playing soft melodies to help me fall asleep.
"Emily! Wake up, Emily," I heard Bella whisper as she pokes my shoulder.
I blink a few times, rubbing my eyes as I sit up removing the headphones that were still connected to my ears. I look out the window and notice that the plane had landed, smiling I stand up and move to collect our luggage before we starting the hunt for a father; Charlie Swan.
I feel Bella tug on my arm, pinching the material, as she points into a certain area, "There he is."
I grin as she begins dragging me over into that direction.
We greet our Dad who had his police uniform on, a warm expression plastered on his face.
"Emily," he guesses, pointing at me.
I smile nodding softly.
"Bella," he states to which she nods in response.
"My little girls are all grown up," I smile feeling happy at his words.
"Come on girls this way to the car," he instructs, causing us to follow him to the Police Cruiser.

"You cut your hair since the last time I saw you?" He states although it comes out more like a question, which he directs at Bella.
"Yeah but it's grown back again," Bella replies in a monotone voice. Charlie suddenly mumbles a response which I can't hear as I'm too busy admiring the scenery as we drive by.
I smile at Charlie as he asks me the same question.
"Yeah I did, but it has grown back since then. However, unlike Bella, I did get some blonde highlights put in."
Charlie smiles, "It suits you."
The atmosphere then falls into an awkward silence as we journey back to our new home.

When we finally reach the house, Bella and I get out and grab out luggage, following Charlie over to the front door. He enters swiftly letting Bella and I inside, leading us upstairs for a brief tour.
"So Bella your bedroom is the first door on the left and Emily yours is the bedroom at the end of the hall on the left, now both your bedrooms are still joined by a door inside like it used to be when you were younger, hope you don't mind," he paused looking at us.
I smile at his hesitant look, while Bella stares at him blankly.
He continues talking, "okay that's good, what else, oh yeah the bathroom, that is on the right opposite Emily's room, you two will have to share. Then my room is the first room on the right, I won't be sharing a bathroom with you girls since I have an ensuite in my room, is that okay?" He finally questions.
I nod gently as he turns away, quickly walking off downstairs, leaving Bella and I alone on the landing.
I then enter my old bedroom, and see that it was exactly how I left it, only now it had a double bed instead of small single one. The walls were the same lilac colour I had picked out when I was younger. I smile as I brush my hand over the paintings and drawings I did when I was four. They were pinned to a corkboard above my chest of drawers, next to my new desk. I also notice that my window seat was still here, and covered with all my fluffy pillows I had when I was younger.
I take a seat at the window and glance outside before deciding that I should probably put my stuff away.
Once I finish unpacking, I grab my pyjamas and put the on. I carefully get into bed and snuggle up to my old teddy bear, as I close my eyes drifting off into a peaceful sleep.
