Hey guys! Thanks for giving this FanFic a try...

People who read "My Dirty Little Secret" by twilightfan213 might find this a bit similar... I asked her for her permission to use part of her idea. Part of her idea, so, yeah, it will be different. Credit for the idea goes to the great twilightfan213.

Really hope that you will enjoy reading this chapter! This first chapter is dedicated to twilightfan213, thank you for giving me permission to use part of your idea!

(This is an edited and re-uploaded chapter)

*Disclaimer: I don't own the series and any of the characters.

Bella's POV

I, as usual, am crying my eyes-and heart-out on the bed in my room, looking at the rocking chair that he always sat on… Remembering the feeling of his ice-cold arms as he enveloped me into his embrace while sitting on that chair. His usually bronze eyes that stared so deeply into my eyes that I thought he could see into my soul which simply screamed how much I love him.

But no, he left. He is gone… He doesn't love me… It is already the start of December, his whole family has disappeared for about three months already. Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Emmett... even Rosalie and Jasper… I miss them. But they are all not here. The painful reminder of this fact making the hole in my heart seem more prominent, pulling at my heart strings painfully.

Then, the sound of the door opening jolted me from my thoughts though I did not physically acknowledge the entrance of Charlie.

Charlie looked at me in my usual depressing state and sighed deeply. "Bella, I really cannot take this anymore. This sight of you just moping around like a living dead breaks my heart. I want you to be happy, Bella. Why don't you go live with your brother or your mum?"

No! I cannot leave Forks! If I leave… then I won't even know if he is true or is it all just a dream and a Greek God didn't appear in my life. I simply cannot leave. To convey my intentions to Charlie, I shook my head violently (okay, maybe not so violently because I didn't really have the strength, what with hardly eating anything).

"Bella, I really love you and I would like my little girl to stay by my side but please leave, forget about him and start this chapter of your life anew," Charlie continued. The mention of him brought a pang of pain that thrummed deeply in my heart, which was torn into pieces, shredded into strips. "Not that I don't want you here but witnessing you in this state... Staying in Forks won't make him come back. Bella, why don't you resume your ice skating life? After all, you only stopped because you wanted a break and since you already got it…" Charlie trailed off.

Charlie suddenly looked so much older… I realized how much this was hurting him. Just as I am hurting because of this, he was too. My father… During the time I was here, I wouldn't say that we became very close, but I certainly did feel a bond with Charlie. I have to think about Charlie. I sighed resignedly and agreed to go live with Ben. Well, Renee or Ben, obviously I will choose Ben… If I go to mum's, she too, will be worried seeing me in this state. Besides, I haven't seen Ben in a really long time.

Maybe it won't be a bad idea to resume my life as the ice-skating princess. Yes, Izzy, the name I go by when I skate, is an internationally renowned ice skater, nicknamed as the Youngest Ice Princess. Weird, huh? I can barely walk across a flat surface without tripping but then once I am strapped into my ice-skating boots, I, clumsy Bella Swan, am transformed to become the graceful (if I may humbly proclaim) Izzy Marie.

Hopefully, my hectic ice-skating lifestyle might be able to get my mind off things. No, they will not ever be forgotten, just locked up in a special corner in my heart…

The next day, I made my way to the airport after saying goodbye to Charlie and promising to call him once in a while, having already packed my suitcase last night.

I boarded the plane to Seattle, where my brother, Benjamin, or as he likes to be called, Ben, is currently living and studying.

Ben was ecstatic to have me live with him and have already prepared a room for me in his newly-bought apartment, bought using our parents' money of course, but he did chip in using the money he earned working during the summers.

Ben and I are twins, though he was delivered about a few minutes before me, so he is a really protective sort-of-older brother towards me. We also had a special connection, which some twins might have. Simply put, we always feel comfortable with each other and we will just have a feeling of how the other party is feeling and have an inkling of what to do, whether is it to comfort him/her or to leave him/her to his/her own thinking.

The intercom came over the plane, announcing the arrival of the plane in Seattle. I got down the plane and made my way to the gates. I spotted Ben's head of curly brown hair. He gazed at me with his blue eyes, which he inherited from Renee, before pulling me in for a bone-crushing hug.

"Hey Bells! How are you?" He, like Charlie, likes to call me Bells.

"Fine," I answered him, with a small smile at the edges of my lips. Ben knows about my boyfriend leaving me but then, of course, don't know that said boyfriend, is a vampire and has never loved me before. I suppressed the ache in my heart.

"Call me Izzy, I am going to continue ice-skating," I told him.

He gave me a look. He doesn't understand why he has to address me differently because I am still me, Isabella Marie Swan. However, he is delighted and excited when he knows that I am going to resume my ice-skating "career", I guess you could call it. "Really? That's great! The ice-skating world is just so boring without you out there, kicking all of their butts off the skating rinks during the competitions."

I just smiled at his enthusiasm and am thinking about how much he didn't change, still the kinda lame Ben that I know and love. We made our way over to the luggage belt and before I could so much as touch my one small suitcase, he has already carried it in his hands.

Then, he led me to his car, a second-hand Porsche with faded blue paint. He drove me to my new house as we talked and asked each other questions, catching up with each other but thankfully, he did not once mention about you-know-who.

We arrived at our destination, turning on to a small driveway. It is actually more of a house, big enough for two people to fit comfortably. Ben showed me around the relatively-average size house, a bit bigger than Charlie's.

It is decorated quite nicely, I would say. The living room consists of one television, one coffee table, one game console and a few sofas around. The kitchen is pretty much like everyone else's except that most of the cupboards are filled with junk food. Well, Ben is a guy, after all. Then, he showed me my room, which thankfully has its own bathroom. The room is fairly empty though, what with the really late notice.

Well, it is about to change soon… and me too…

What do you think about it? I know that it is a little short, will try to make the next chapter longer. Please, please review/comment!
