Chapter 1: Memories

"Auntie Alice" she said in a pleading voice

"Auntie Alice" she said in a pleading voice. "Can you tell me the story again? Please!" Her big brown eyes became puppy dog sad, and her bottom come out into a little pout. How could I deny my little Nessie anything. She was my life now.

"Alright, just get ready for bed first ok? Then we will pick a story to read." I told her as I followed her to the bathroom to make sure she washed her face and brushed her teeth. I already knew which story she wanted to hear without her telling me, but I wanted to give her a choice. This was our nightly routine.

"Auntie Alice, will you brush my hair like mommy used to do?" she hesitantly asked me. Mommy was still a sensitive subject around here, especially since the one year anniversary was coming soon.

"Of course, sweet pea. Now come sit on the bed with me and tell me what story you would like to hear tonight. Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella?" I listed seeing if perhaps one of these would strike her interest tonight.

"Nope, I want to hear about mommy and daddy again. Please!" she did her best puppy face again, and just like last time I gave into her.

"Alright, do you remember how it starts?" I liked to involve her, she gets so excited about the story.

"Yeppers, Mommy moved away from nana swan to live with papi swan. Right, Auntie Alice? And that's how mommy met daddy." She said with a smile on her face and I took the brush threw her hair one more time.

"That's right love. Lay down now, and I will continue, ok?" She just nodded her head at me as I set her brush on her nightstand and then pulled the rocking chair that was in the corner over to her bed. She watched me intently as I grab the old leather bond book that I have read many times from and started the story from the begging once again.

It was just another boring school day. I was so jealous of my two best friends Emmett and Jasper. They had graduated last year leaving me with my little sister. Sure I had other friends but I didn't really have anything in common with them. Besides I didn't like the way they acted and their personalities were horrendous. They abused women and treated them like meat. They would take advantage of their trust, then ditch them the next time someone better or more willing came along. I usually stuck with my sister and she stuck with me. She had one true friend, Angela Webber, and her boyfriend… Ben something or other. I can't really remember.

Christmas break had gone by so fast that I felt like I got nothing done. I haven't written any music since, well it's probably been a good year. I have no inspiration anymore. I know it hurts Esme, but there is only so many ways you can write a song for the same person without repeating yourself.

--

"This is where you come in, right Auntie Alice?" she sat up fast getting excited. She knew what was coming.

"Yes, now lay back down." I told her firmly. This girl had more energy then me, if you could believe that.

--

"Edward, did you hear? We are getting a new student today." She told me with hope in her eyes. We were sitting at the lunch table with Ang and Ben. I was just playing with my food, swimming in my own depressed state.

"Yeah, I had Spanish with her. Unfortunately Jess had trig with her before me, so she got her claws on the new girl first." Ang said with a pout.

"What so great about this new girl that you wanted to get your 'claws' in her first?" I asked coming back to the conversation. "It's just a new girl. Just one more person to add to this small town, where nothing happens. If she was smart she would go back to where she came from because it has to be ten times better then here." I said with a sour edge to my voice.

--

"That wasn't very nice of daddy." She said sitting up again and crossing her arms in front of her chest.

"No, it wasn't and I made sure that your daddy new how horribly wrong he was about the new girl, didn't I?" I said to her giving her a wink and she giggled and nodded. "Now lay down and no more interruptions or I won't finish the story." I threatened. She motioned zipping her lips and laid her had back on her pillow.

--

Alice glared at me as did Ang. They both wanted to save this new girl from Jess's clutches. I knew that much but I couldn't except that this new girl would want to. If she had a chance to be one of the 'Slut popular' why would she give that up? But then Alice gave me that look that I knew all to well. She had a plan, and that plan was going to be proving me wrong in some way or another.

SHIT!

"Well Edward, we will just have to see what happens now wont we?" she asked smirking at me. Then she turned to Ang and started whispering stuff to her that I wasn't able to hear. I looked at Ben with wide eyes, he just shrugged and laughed at me.

"You should have just kept your mouth shut, man." And that was all he was able to say to me before the bell rang.

I walked to my Biology class prepared to be bored out of my mind. It was a lecture day and the teacher was so boring to listen to. Usually once I wrote all the notes he had on the board that is when I wrote my music. But since I have been in my rut all I do is look out the window and daydream.

I had a table to myself and I loved it. I didn't get along with most of the guys in this class, and well I was just plan sick and tired of the girls flirting with me. Especially the ones with boyfriends. I mean, come on, give me a break.

As I set my bag on the floor next to the leg of my chair, then sat down, I pulled out a notebook and pen and started quickly writing the notes before class started. A bunch of kids filed into the room but I paid no mind to them, and continued to write.

I finished writing all my notes before class started and then just started to doodle around the edges, trying to trigger any kind of create spark to help me write. From my peripheral vision I could tell that all the students were seated and that the teach was standing behind his desk, but there was someone else there. Must have been the new girl. I quickly did a glance around the room checking the seats and making no eye contact with anyone when I realized my table was the only one with a spear seat.

Shit, Shit!

How does Alice know when something like this is going to happen? Now if I would have said something nice and sincere about the new girl she wouldn't have been in any of my classes let alone sitting right next to me forcing us to be lab partners.

Just my luck.

BPOV

It was my first day at a new school in this crappy hell whole people called Forks High. My first couple of classes were completely embarrassing because everyone new who I was thanks to Charlie. And Isabella, seriously, he knows I hate to be called that, why would he introduce me to everyone that way? The only people I knew here besides my dad were Sam, Emily, Seth, and Leah, AND they didn't even go to this school. It was so frustrating. Leah and Seth had come over last night to welcome me into town. Leah was my age and Seth her little brother was a year younger. Leah and I became fast friends but Seth and I had a lot in common as well. I could tell that he was going to be one of my favorite people to hang out with in this small town. I didn't get to see Sam and Emily yet and I was really disappointed about that. When I asked Leah about them she told me that Sam had finally come out and told Emily how she felt and that they have been inseparable ever since. I have happy for them. I knew they were supposed to be together. You could just see it when they interacted with each other. He was so caring and tentative with her, and she was just head over heels for him.

Ah, love. Something I never had and don't plan on having anytime soon. Even though I do envy them just a bit, but like I'm going to tell anyone that.

HA!

I met this girl named… I think her name was Jess. She was alright, but you could only take anything she said for face value, if you know what I mean. She was rather shallow and she gave me a list of acceptable people to talk to. I was so frustrated with her by the end of class I just ran to a different build not really caring if it was the right one or not. Unfortunately, I had already agreed to sit with her at lunch, and knew that my class before lunch I had with her. There was no way out of this nightmare.

Luck must have been on my side at that moment because I happened to run to the right building for my next class. Español.

I sat next to this girl named Angela. She was shy but seemed really nice. She was not conceded or cared about who were the right people to hang out with and talk to. I liked her and I knew if I had to be here, she is the type of friend I wanted to hang out with. Actually, she is the only type of person I would consider a friend.

I felt bad because she invited me to sit with her at lunch but I couldn't ditch Jess as much as I wanted to. I was too nice of a person, but I invited her to sit with me.

"I don't think Jess would like that very much. But, hey, maybe tomorrow if you would like to." She said.

"Oh, that would be great. Tomorrow's lunch is all yours. Thank you so much Angela, that is really nice of you." I said feeling horrible about declining in the first place. I didn't want her to think I didn't like her.

After the bell rang Angela walked me to the cafeteria and we went are separate ways once we stepped through the door.

"See ya tomorrow then, Bella." She said to me and she walked on the other side of the cafeteria. The opposite side was where Jess was sitting with all her groupies.

"Yeah, see ya tomorrow, Angela, and thanks again." I said and I walked to Jess's table with my head down. I really didn't want to be here.

"Isabella, Angela is not on the list. She is not one of the people we waste our time with. If your going-" I tuned her out as I folded my hands on top of the table and just stared at them.

How did I get myself in this mess?

Lunch seemed to go on forever, with Jess bitching about one thing or another, and all the losers sitting with her. Ok, so that's a little harsh. It's my first day, I can't possibly know if they are all like Jess. But she keeps the people she knows very close to her, so to assume they were all the same was a safe assumption.

I fallowed Jess to my next class in Biology. Once again she had that class with me, and I was hopping with all my life that I didn't have to sit next to her. I think I might have to change some of my classes if I had 3 different classes with her. It would just be ridiculous.

"Oh you are so lucky Isabella!" she gushed as I rolled my eyes at my full name. I hate when people called me that and I told her many times, but obviously she didn't care.

"And why is that?" I asked as we stepped into the Biology room with the rest of the kids.

"You get to sit next to the hunk-a-liscious Edward Cullen. He is the most gorgeous guy in this school, but also the crabbiest. He doesn't give anyone here two thoughts and usually keeps to himself along with his sister. But it's so much fun to look at him, he is just so dreamy." She continued to gush.

I rolled my eyes, and scanned the room looking for who she was talking about. I spotted a guy with messy bronze hair. I really couldn't see anything else because he had his head down. He looked like he was working on something in his notebook.

Huh.

"Go to the teacher first." Jess pushed and then sat at her set.

"Ah, Isabella Swan, correct?" the teacher asked.

"Bella, and yes." I corrected.

"Ok here is your text and you will be sitting next to…" he looked around the room, and I followed his gaze realizing that the only open set was next to Edward Cullen. That's why Jess knew I would be sitting there. "You can go sit in the only empty seat next to Mr. Cullen." He said and I just nodded my head.

I walked over to my new seat, set my book on the table and sat down. I looked over at Edward the same time he looked at me and I think my mouth hit the floor. I was lost in his beautiful green eyes. I couldn't tear my eyes away from him, nor did I want to. I just wanted to look at him all day.

I realized what I was thinking and mentally slapped myself. 'You are not Jess, get a hold of yourself Bella!' I scolded.

I sweetly smiled at him, "Hi, I'm Bella Swan. You must be Edward Cullen." I said not giving him a chance to offer his name.

--

I closed the book at the sound of Nessie's even breathing. She had finally fallen asleep. Thank goodness. I kissed her forehead and turned the light off that was on her night stand.

I walked out of her room and closed the door behind me. When I turned around I practically jumped out of my skin.

"Jasper, what are you doing to me?" I said clutching my chest.

"I'm sorry, love. I didn't mean to scare you. I was just listening to you." He said with the corners of his lips twitching up slightly.

"Oh Jazz!" I wailed and threw my arms around his neck, hiding my face in his chest as the tears flowed freely out. He rested his cheek on the top of my head after he kissed it, and started to rub soothing circles on my back.

"It will be ok Ali, you tell us that all the time. Everything will be ok." Jazz tried to comfort.

"I know, and I truly believe it will be. But I thought it would be sooner. I miss them so very much." I sobbed out.

"I do too, love. I do too."

Please review and let me know if this story is worth continuing. I will still be working on my other one but if i get enough intrest then i would be happy to work a little over time making this a great story for you guys.
