so if you’re out there I swear to be good to you
but I’m done lookin’, for my future someone
cause when the time is right you’ll be here,
but for now dear no one, this is your love song

If you asked her, Isabelle Viles would be quick to tell you that the best place on Earth was First Beach. She would tell you that there's no place better than on a group of rocks that gathered together in just the right spot so that the waves could break onto them and lightly spray the rocks' occupants with cool ocean water. Izzy would tell you all about how beautiful the sun set on the horizon of the ocean. She wouldn't tell you, however, why she loves First Beach so much. Sure, it was beautiful, but it had always been more than just the beauty to the young girl.[/size][/color]
As far back as she can remember Isabelle's father would wake her up early on Saturday mornings, just before the sun rose. The two of them would quickly rush off to the beach and stand on top of the highest of the rocks in the perfect little gathering place. They'd wait for only a few moments before the sun burst over out and caused a sparkling show of colors to flash before her young eyes. It never failed. Every single Saturday of the year she and her father had this tradition. It didn't matter if she was at home or at a friend's house. He'd come to her and he'd take her to the beach.
It really wasn't a surprise that even after his death, Isabelle could still be found huddling close to herself to keep warm on the tallest rock, watching the sunrise.
There was absolutely no one in the world Isabelle Viles felt closer to than her father. It was apparent as soon as she was born that she would be a daddy's girl simply by her looks. While her older sister Sage inherited just about everything from their very white mother, Isabelle was the spitting image of their very native father. Down to one last black wave falling from her head. Even the smallest little dimple in her cheek was so incredibly Viles.
It didn't take long for Izzy to realize that she was going to be just like her father in every way possible. She not only inherited his looks, but his charming personality. She was able to captivate a group of people simply by smiling at them, a lesson she'd learned early on from her father.
Her father taught her everything she knew. Including how to love every single person in your life with your entire heart, which was something the young girl continued to do even after her father's passing. She continued to give just about everything she had to offer to those around her no matter the consequence and for the most part, people appreciated her love. There was a reason why Robert Viles had been one of the most loved men on the reservation and there was a reason why the entirety of the people living in La Push mourned profusely when he died.
Izzy woke that Saturday morning at exactly the right time. She got out of her bed, not worrying about her appearance in anyway, because there was never anyone out on the beach this early in the morning. It was like an unspoken rule or something. Everyone knew that Saturday morning sunrises on the beach belonged to Robert and his daughter. They'd never been disturbed while sitting out on the rocks.
She walked to the beach easily, having walked the same path every weekend of her entire fifteen years. Isa found herself on the beach soon enough and quickly made her way over to the gathering of rocks sitting perfectly in the ocean. She first had to climb up onto a smaller rock and then slid easily onto the tallest of them all. She sat down on the rock, pulling her legs up to her chest and rested her chin on her knees.
Isabelle sat silently and waited. Her patience was one of the only things she'd inherited from her mother and she was quite thankful for that. Her father, however kind he was, wasn't always a very patient man. The only time he ever really allowed himself to calm down and enjoy the silence and stillness was on Saturday mornings.
The sun rose from the horizon and splashed a light of color onto the small teenager. She smiled and closed her eyes, imagining for those brief moments that her father was there with her. That was why she continued to come out to the beach every weekend, because for five beautiful minutes, she was with her father again. For five minutes she wasn't the sad orphan charity case that she had been for the last few months.
She smiled blissfully and lowered her face down to her knees and just listened to everything around her. Everything was so still. Even the waves were breaking calmly onto the rock in almost silence. There was nothing more beautiful than this.
