Chapter one
Bella 7 years old
I was so excited, today was the day Mommy and Daddy was going to built me a tree house. We lived on the furthest part of town and the forest was alongside our house and at the back. Forks were small but I loved it here.
I didn't have a lot of friends yet because we lived her for only a month but somehow I managed with my animals and imaginary friends.
I wasn't troubled or a loner but I liked the peace.
We had a nice big yard and earlier this morning I chose the tree I wanted my new house in. I sat on my bed and held two pairs of shoes in my hand. I couldn't decide. Pink or purple, life is hard.
My room was huge and my one wall was purple and the other white. My white washed furniture was arranged perfectly and I had a purplish couch in the corner by my window. The window was almost the size of the entire wall.
I also had another room attached to my room witch I called, the animal room. It wasn't that big but I had all of my strange animals there.
I finally decided that the pink would look better with the while dress mommy picked out for me. I ran downstairs to get something to eat. I tripped and landed on my stomach but when I regained my breath I walked to the kitchen and my mom was making pancakes, my favorite.
I plopped on the chair and rubbed my sore cheek while my mom filled my plate with pancakes. "Do you want syrup honey, what happened to your cheek?" She asked. I laughed. "I fell, carpet burn. I want syrup with a side of syrupy syrup." I said and laughed. My mom always told me I was the sunshine in her life bit actually she was mine.
Mommy and I did everything together. We rode our bikes on the trail in the forest but my daddy always went with us because he was scared something would hurt us.
My mom placed the plate of syrup with a bit of pancakes in front of me. It looked delicious. I placed a big piece in my mouth and the syrup dripped down my arms. My mom laughed while I liked it off. "When you're finished we should help daddy with the tree house." She said.
I loved my life and mommy and daddy and I loved all my pets. I was an animal freak. I was going to become a vet one day and save all the homeless cats and doggies and rats.
##
I walked up to my room to clean my hands. My bathroom was white and blue; years later I would learn it was aqua. I had a corner bath, it was all mine. I walked straight to the animal room.
I had too many to count. My mom built this room last year when I started to sleep next to the chameleon and the dog. They tried to get rid of them first but being the person I am the first day I noticed my cat was gone I walked away.
I mean away they found me in town walking towards the airport.
After a lot of talking I agreed to go home and they forced to get my cat back. Lilac was still breathing and way to fat for her own good. She wasn't purple put my favorite color was.
In total I had a chameleon named speedy. I had two bunnies, mouse and potato. Then of course there were the two birds Sylvester and Tom.
I had five chickens witch wasn't allowed in my room but was outside with the two Swans and ten ducks. In the cage were also doves and other birds.
My dog Silver (other favorite color) was best friends with my cat lilac. Then my bestes pet was my horse Twilight witch was completely white with a single black spot on his left shoulder.
##
Later that day I walked to the back yard because I couldn't see my mom and dad. I saw them outside and they were busy putting the finishing touches on my house, boy they moved fast. It was far from home. It was beautiful.
It had a little porch thing and a window. It was perfect.
I ran to my dad. "Daddy, daddy, thank you sooooo much for my house" I said and he smiled at me. There were a lot of men, mostly neighbors that helped my daddy.
I spend every second I could in my tree house. I even furnished it. I had a small couch and a table, that's all it could hold.
My teddy never left my house. He was the guard who protected my little house.
Bella 13 years old
I have been playing in my tree house for the whole day and when my tummy rumbled I placed mister Bubbles my teddy in his chair and got out of the house.
I walked to the stables first. I got another horse for my tenth Birthday who I called Midnight. He was all black and beautiful.
It was cold and I could see the snow was thick. I walked into the heated barn and straight to Twilight. I saddled her up with ease and went over to release Midnight. I huddled to the forest and walked around in the snow with Midnight playing in the woods.
###
I was so deep in thought that I didn't even realize I was inside of the warm home. It was Friday today and my mom was on her way back from work. My mom was my best friend; she always knew what to say and didn't care if a thirteen year old girl liked to lay in a tree house.
I couldn't wait to see her. She was an interior decorator and my dad was a veterinarian but he was on standby today and he got me from school. He had a big influence on the town, he truly knew everyone.
I walked to the front porch with a blanket wrapped tightly around myself. I sat on a swing chair and waited. It was very cold but I couldn't keep myself hulled up inside, I wanted to see my mom.
I hummed a song to myself and I could see my mom coming down the road. Somehow I could feel the warmth her hug would bring me in a couple of moments, I also saw a big truck coming from the opposite side, and he wasn't even looking. What he was thinking, was he even thinking
"MOM," I yelled I knew it wouldn't work, I knew she wouldn't listen but I had to.
My dad stormed out of the house and saw the same thing I did. Then the scene unraveled before us.
The truck driver's eyes shot up and my mom hit the break as hard as she could but the slick ice made the car turn and she was in the destruction path of the humongous truck. I didn't want to look believe me but there I stood, a thirteen year old girl and I couldn't look away.
Fear flashed her face and then the truck collided with our car. Fire escaped out of the tangled metal like it was the most natural thing in a matter of seconds. The flames licked the cold air.
My tears were warm streaming down my face.
I unwrapped myself and ran, I couldn't do anything but I had to run. I was at the accident but a sudden flame busted my way and I cringed, shielding myself from the worst of it.
My dad got my hand but I pulled back running as far as I could. I was so deep in thought that I didn't notice I placed the back of my hand on the burning metal and my skin sizzled when it came in contact. I had to get to my mother; I needed to see her so badly. Please I thought, could I just see her face.
I would give anything to smell her rose water perfume. I learned over the years that I would wish that a whole lot.
"MOM," I yelled, my screams echoing over the fire. I yelled again. Hysterical over took me while I watched the scene in front of me and then I fell into a pile of helplessness.
I woke up in my bed but I wasn't alone, my dad was sitting next to me on a chair. He was crying and that brought new tears to my eyes as well. At that moment I knew our lives would never be the same.
I got up and scrambled into his lap. He held me tight and I noticed the bandage on my hand. I really did burn myself, I really did pass out and my mom really is dead.
After we calmed down he made me something to eat, needless to say it tasted like nothing. This was going to be hard. The food tasted like cardboard and not just because my dad made it but because I would never taste pancakes with syrupy syrup again.
It was a week since my mom died and I just came back from the funeral. It was beautiful except for the fact that it was my mothers.
Everything was as if she arranged it herself, everybody was so proud of me for being strong, and not crying because I knew if I cried, it would be real.
The people loved her and cared about her although I wished the neighbors would just get lost. They come to our house telling us how sorry they are, bring food that gather mold in the fridge.
I didn't want to see anybody or talk to anybody. Today was the twelfth September and tomorrow was my birthday, happy birthday to me.
I would make as if it didn't happen. I don't want to go forward I want to go back to the night my mom died and call her. Tell her how much I loved her.
I would make the conversation extra long and wait till the truck passes our home and then tell her to drive extra save.
I guess it wouldn't work because if it was her time she would go one way or another. I sat on my bed and closed my eyes willing away the tears..
The door opened and someone unknown walked in. I didn't know this beautiful boy standing in front of me.
His beautiful bronze locks were standing in different directions and he had a face that I couldn't describe. "Hey my name is Edward." He said and sat next to me on the bed.
He had the body of a god, the voice of an angel and eyes that could penetrate right into your soul, discovering your deepest, darkest secret but he would never tell them.
"I'm Bella, who are you?" I asked, he was a stranger but I felt so oddly attracted to him.
"You can say that." he said and laughed at some kind of inside joke. "How old are you, are you going to my school?" I asked. "I'm as old as you want me to be and I go where you do." He said.
I was scared was he a stalked? Je looked my age. "I'm scared maybe you should leave." I said. "I'm sorry Bella I didn't mean to scare you. I'm here to be your friend and help you through the difficult time that lies ahead." He said and took my hand.
They felt soft and like they belonged there.
After I talked to Edward he seemed like the perfect person my mind would create to keep my mind of my mother. He knew exactly what to say and when to touch me. I hear a knock on my door and Edward sat closer to me. "Come in." I said and my dad peaked through the door.
I tried to take my hand out of Edward's but he held on tighter.
"Hey dad" I said. He sat on the chair next to me.
"Hey bud what are you doing?" He asked.
"I was just talking to Edward." I said and smiled. He frowned.
"Who honey?" He asked. Was he playing dumb?
"Edward dad next to me" I said.
"Bella you had a lot of stress, get some rest honey." He said. Why didn't he see Edward, he was sitting right here.
He smiled and walked out while dialing a number on his phone.
"Edward why can't my dad see you, is he going crazy?" I asked and huffed.
"Bella, only you can see me." He said I laughed.
"What, I don't believe you." I said.
"Bella do you remember you had an imaginary friend for a while when you were five?" He asked. I started to think about a possible imaginary friend. I could remember slightly.
He had brown hair and green eyes and his name was-"EDWARD," I asked and he smiled. "How, what is . . . I didn't want." I said. He took my hand tighter. "Bella, its okay Shhh you'll be okay." He said. It felt so true when he said it.
"Why do you feel so real, I can touch you?" I said. He smiled again. He was so beautiful.
"I am to you, I'm hundred percent real." He said and kissed my cheek. I had a hunch that this would be a good thing.
I knew that this was surreal and that I should be scared but now I know that since then I couldn't come to be afraid of him, ever.
I tried to convince my dad that I joked but no we had to see the dumb doctor freakaziod. I sat on the examining chair and Edward held my hand.
I was getting agro because the stupid results took this long. Edward patted my shoulder and I instantly relaxed.
The doctor graceful made his appearance with a stupid fucked smirk. I didn't swear a lot but I had an excuse. Wanne hear it 'Fuck you my mom died.' I think it could soften Hitler's heart. Well if we lived in that time he would probably be the cause of her death.
CPOV
"Can I talk to you quickly?" The doctor asked me. I nodded and Bella huffed of the table and out of the room. "IS everything okay?" I asked. I was so worried about Bella; I didn't want to lose her to. "Everything is fine, you see sometimes your mind protects itself and creates stuff that isn't there.
Just watch her and as long as she doesn't change drastically she would be fine. " The doctor said. I visibly relaxed. If an imaginary friend is what it takes, it's fine with me.
BPOV
I was back at the house and in the tree house but Edward wasn't with me, I made him a bracelet with beads. It could adjust so he could wear it for the rest of his life. It had a simple B and E on it and it was enough for me. I wanted to call him but would it be stupid, is all of this stupid?
Then he appeared. "Hey I was just thinking about you." I said.
"I know." He grinned. I wish he wasn't imaginary.
"I made you something." I said and handed the bracelet to him.
He slid it on his arm and tightened it, it fit perfectly and I had a surge of joy.
He grabbed my hand and carefully he slid an identical bracelet on my arm, being careful of the burn mark. I smiled.
"Bella one day your wish may come true." He said and smiled. I didn't pay much attention, at that time I was wishing for more than one thing.
"How did you know about this?" I asked. He smiled.
"I do what you want me to do." He said. I couldn't help but smile at him; he really was the best thing ever.
"You're my bestes friend Edward." I said.
"You know me a day and its best." He said which made us both laugh, so what if I had grammar problems?
"What if I wished for a dragon would you turn into one?" I asked.
"Nope, it's not magic Bella." He said.
"Say the imaginary guy." I said witch sent another round of laughs.
The next day I got up early and went to the tree house. Edward was sitting on the chair and waited for me. I smiled and he smiled back.
"Edward I got us popcorn and Oreos." I said and held up the basket I put them in.
He took it and unpacked to stuff. "Bella did you burn the popcorn?" He asked. I blushed.
"Yea sorry, I was busy getting Oreos." I said and looked away.
Hey popped them into his mouth and smiled. "Hmmm, I like it like this." He said and handed to popcorn to me. I saw the funny looking scar right in the dimple of his cheek.
"What happened there?" I asked. He smiled. "Shark attack, I'm okay, you should see the poor shark." He said. I clicked my tongue.
"Yup, probably swimming finless around Siberia" He said again.
"Whatever." I said but ignored it. What does he know about sharks anyway.
I thought he was just being nice but when I tasted it, it was nice, it wasn't that burned. "I have something for you." He said and reached into his pocket.
He took of the skin and broke of a piece of chocolate and placed it in my hand. It was nice and sweet and I loved it.
"Edward where are you when your not here, with me?" I asked out of curiosity.
"I don't really know, I'm nowhere, it's like I disappear when I'm not here with you." He said and took my hand.
"I do know for sure that I will find a way to be with you forever."
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL (After the summer)
I walked into the school halls feeling empty while everybody stared at me. I had Edward at least and I was grateful for that. Over the summer we had so much fun and my dad backed off, guess the doctor wasn't so bad. I decided that I wanted to go see my mom soon.
Edward would be with me and that gave me courage.
I walked to my first class and sat in a chair in the back. I didn't want attention.
The teacher was old and almost bold but he would do. He started to lecture of Romeo and Juliet. Gee you think we could do something from this millennium? I listened and made a few sloppy notes and thanked my stars when the bell rang.
The day was slow but I was now home and in my tree house. The tree house wasn't even in our yard; it was in a tree in the forest.
I held Edwards hand tightly. "I have an idea; we can make a slide from here into the river." I said. He smiled and I ran inside to get rope. The shed wasn't very neat but I managed to pull out some tough looking rope.
I tied it to another tree away from my tree house; I didn't want to break my house down. I was glad dad did an occasional mountain climbing and I got a clasp that fit perfectly. I held the rope tight and placed the clamp over the stretched rope witch led to the ground on the other side of the river.
I jumped and yelled like I never had before but I released and plumbed into the water. Edward was standing in the tree now and he caught the rope. He swung and fell next to me.
After doing that for a couple of times and dipping each other in the river we were tired and we went home. I opened the door and my dad was watching TV.
"Hey dad" I said. He smiled.
"What did you do?" he asked laughing.
"Well I and- I built a slide into the river and well I fell into it." I said laughing. He joined in.
"I'm taking a shower okay?" I said and he nodded. I hurried upstairs and Edward disappeared. I didn't hurry with the shower and I was so relaxed after it I was in a trance.
I got dressed and into bed and Edward was sitting on the other side of the bed.
"I want to go see my mom the day after tomorrow." I said. He smiled.
"Whatever you like" He said and I fell asleep blissfully.
I woke up and went to school, witch was so boring. I bumped into Jessica and wished I hadn't. "Watch where you're going bitch" She spat and I cringed back.
"I'm sorry I didn't see you." I said being polite.
"Just don't let it happen again" she said and walked of.
School rushed bye and when I got home I walked to the stables. Edward was there waiting for me.
I saddled up one horse because it wouldn't look good if Twilight ran in the woods with a saddle on.
I raced Edward through the woods and we played the whole evening until it was time for bed. I didn't like the sleeping part, I wanted to be awake and play with Edward.
I woke up and decided to skip school and go straight to the grave yard. I got up, showered and dressed then I walked out and Edward was waiting on the chair. I made toast and we were of to the grave yard.
I walked slowly, hand in hand with Edward. The grave yard wasn't far from our house. I hoped my dad wouldn't be mad. I stood in front of my moms grave stone and touched it. Edward held my hand tighter. "Hey mom, I met a great guy, his name is Edward." I said and smiled sheepishly at him.
"Mom, I decided that its okay you died. It had to happen, I love you mom." I said and looked at Edward but he had a hurt expression on his face.
"Edward, are you okay." I asked.
"I wish you didn't say that." He said.
"Edward why" I asked confused, didn't he want me to be happy.
"Bye Bella," he said.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"You don't need me anymore, you found peace. I can't stay." He said.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked. He started to fade away like the wind taking him from me. "Bye Bella, take care." He said and he disappeared.
I fell to my knees. "EDWARD, COME BACK." I said but nothing.
"I NEED YOU." I yelled, the wind howled.
"I . . . EDWARD . . . NO . . ." I yelled but it didn't help, he was gone forever.
I don't know how I got home but I was on my bed numb like before. I lost the only thing worth living for. I lost Edward.
My dad stormed into my room.
"Bella, why did the school call and say you weren't there?" He asked. I didn't answer. I didn't want to speak.
"Bella, God, Bella are you okay?" he asked and placed a hand on my shoulder. I shrugged. "LEAVE ME ALONE." I yelled but he didn't he held me until I fell asleep.
That was where my life started falling apart.
Why don't you tell me in a review if I should continue?
