The Differences Between Fantasy and Reality

Disclaimer: I am not Stephenie Meyer and I do not own Twilight, New Moon or anything else relating to her.

AN: I have had this idea stuck in my head for awhile now and it won't be quiet so it will be written. Before anyone starts reading this story, I want everyone to be aware that it is not a Edward/Bella story, nor is it a Jacob/Bella story. Both Edward and Jacob will play roles in this story, and they will have their moment with Bella, but ultimately this is a story where Bella ends up choosing a far more healthier ending than she ever had in the original series (or most alternate realities that I've ever seen). It will have a happy ending though. This book will span through the books of Twilight and New Moon. I don't know yet if it will have a full 48 chapters (50 with prologue and epilogue), but it will be close. This story will be told entirely from Bella's perspective.

Preface

His words were like a punch to my already broken chest. I'd thought my world had ended back on my birthday when the other he had left, it turned out I had no idea what the world ending truly felt like, but now I did.

I'd trusted him, I'd let him rebuild me, let him in my life, let him in my heart even. If he had always planned on destroying me, then why couldn't he have left me alone?

I remembered now, I had courted it, courted him, courted danger as the previous he used to say. In truth, it wasn't either of their faults that I was so ordinary, so unable to keep the attention of anyone that I ever loved.

I fell to my knees as my heart once again ceased to exist. This time, there would be no resurfacing.
