A Book of Truths

Chapter 1

I become aware that I am awake. I don't want to open my eyes and see that all of this is a dream. I will be so upset if I wake up back in my old room in Phoenix and realise that I have vivid imagination and my new life was just a beautiful dream. Could I handle it? No. No I couldn't. I finally found my place in life with a family that I fit with. Not that I don't love Charlie, mum or Phil, I just had to be the responsible one. Okay enough procrastination. I have to see where I am. Okay on the count of 3

I open both eyes and see the most beautiful site in the world - Edward lying next to me with his amazing crooked grin. I start to smile greatly and practically jump on him and hug his cold stone body.

I think I shocked him. I'm so happy.

Okay I guess I'll have to explain a lot for those that this doesn't make sense to.

So let's go back a couple of months ago. Back to phoenix where I lived with mum and her new husband Phil.

*Flashback*

It was a beautiful hot Saturday when I woke up and saw the sunrise. It's so amazing in the desert. I have a shower and get changed into shorts and a tank top so I won't melt. I go down stairs and make breakfast. Today I felt like scrambled eggs with bacon, tomato, cheese and mushroom on cut up toast. Mum and Phil came downstairs and made coffee and juice for me. We all sit at the table. It's weird how normal things are. I'm glad I got to the kitchen before mum. Let's just say her imagination shouldn't be used to come up with new combinations for food. I shudder at her egg and tuna pancakes. Phil is a big help with keeping her hair brained craziness inline. Back to the table they're in their lovy dovy bubble of newlywed actions. I can't help and smile at how happy she is. But then again he'll be leaving next month to play interstate for a few months and mum will here lonely with me because I am not old enough to look after myself – though I have been technically the adult since I was 7. I hate holding her back.

"Bella"

I snap my head up and see my mum with a curious expression. Crap I was in this thinking state for too long.

"Yes mum" I reply hopefully she will forget I wasn't concentrating.

"Sweetie, are you okay, you haven't touched your food" she answered. Oh I must have been staring off and didn't eat.

"Yes mum guess I was just thinking about a book for school. I think I might need a new book"

"Well that's funny because I found this outside addressed to you and it's probably a book"

"Oh cool I'll read it after breakfast"

I begin to eat and it isn't cold yet which is good and hoped I wouldn't be asked anything. It's not like I don't like to talk, it's just I hate being the centre of attention just like my dad. Oh Charlie he lives in this tiny town called Forks in Washington that's covered with green, clouds, rain and the cold. All things I hate. I haven't seen him in a while. My parents got married young and had me shortly after. When I was one my mum left Charlie in Forks and we moved around till we ended up in Phoenix, Arizona. I spent my first couple of summers in Forks, and then he visited me for two weeks at a time. Mum and Phil have only married recently but Charlie has never had anyone else.

Well on that note I finished my breakfast I asked mum where she had the book. I found it only tripping a couple of times. Oh yeah I am a real bad klutz and have a full folder for every hospital visit I have had to endure. The entire staff at the hospital practically knows me by name.

I take the book to my room hoping it's good and knowing I will get lost in it, I find the most comfortable position. Ok the book is called 'Twilight' and is written by Stephanie Meyer. The cover has two pale hands holding a red apple. Ok that gives no indication to what it is about. I guess I have to read it because I never read the back because it ruins it for me.

I read the preface and am shocked that someone has heard of Forks. This must be a thriller or crime the way its set out. Well it's different from my beloved classics but I am so intrigued I don't really care.

I read the first two pages and drop the book. Oh my goodness it is about me. But I would never go to Forks. Would I? I mean it might help my situation with mum but still. How is this about me? Okay I am freaking out. Breathe in and out. Right better find out why, how, what and most importantly when. Ok I have to read this and not stop or else I might hurt myself. Ok toilet brake and grab a water bottle so I won't get dehydrated.

Ok that completed I have to read it in one go or I will freak out again.

434 pages later

Ok let's go through what happens first. I move to Forks so my mum can move with Phil, it's the same as I left it, I got a cool truck, I'm the shiny toy at school, there is a family who look like models, a boy hates me in Biology, he leaves for a week then tries to talk to me, saves me, decides not to explain how and says we can't be friends, asked out many times to the stupid Prom and then boy asks me to Seattle (use that as why I can't go – really I hate them especially because I can't dance remember I am a klutz), he talks to me, go to La Push and flirt with a native to get information, find out he is a vampire, go to Port Angeles and almost get attack by a gang but boy saves me and we meaning me eat, tell boy he is a vampire and is in love, meet family, play baseball and a vampire wants my blood, leave dad and go on the run, leave to save mum, find it was a trap and almost died, he saves me, wakeup in hospital and go to prom with boy.

Ok the boy's name is Edward Cullen, aged 17 when turned into a vampire in 1918 because he was dying on Spanish Influenza by his dad Carlisle Cullen who was turned in the 1650s and became vegetarian and doctor. Then change Esme and later married, then Rosalie and Emmett. Alice and Jasper found them. Alice has psychic powers and was changed in an asylum; Jasper was in the civil war and is an empath. Edward can read everyone's mind but mine. The native was called Jacob and the vampire who wanted my blood was James a tracker and he was with Victoria and Laurent.

Wow that is so much information to process for one day. But do you know what. I want that. All of it because Edward sounds perfect and I don't care he could suck my blood. I want Alice as my best friend, even the shopping trips and Bella Barbie time. But the question is do they want me?
