I had always wanted Bella Swan. I had never exactly known why. She was pretty, yes, but there were a lot of girls in this dump of a town that were much prettier. Her personality was charming, but she did not make good choices. If she did she would not have anything to do with that freak Cullen.

I was not stupid. The moment I saw her with him I realized that I did not have a chance. Still, I had to try. I wanted Bella, yes, and as much more than a friend. However, if being her friend was all I was going to get I would take it. She was a good person, and I did sincerely care for her.

When that kid from the reservation started hanging around with her I thought that maybe, just maybe he would break the spell that Cullen seemed to hold over her. Of course there was no such luck, but for a few months I had hope.

I had always wanted Bella Swan. She wasn't the prettiest, or the best personality wise, but I had always wanted her. I had never known why, but I think I now do. Bella Swan was always unattainable. The Forbidden Fruit always tastes the sweetest.

Too bad I never got to bite.
