Chapter 1

Your first love is something you will never forget. Like tying your shoes at first you don't know how and you keep practicing until you get it. Once you learn how to do it you never forget. It just comes easy. I know comparing love to tying shoes is a little corny, but it's the one thing I could always relate to.

I was 16 years old when I have my first real relationship. I fell head over heels in love with him. I constantly thought about him all day long wondering if he was thinking about me. We would call each other during the night just to say "I love you" one more time. My life was great. I had a wonderful family, great friends, and a loving and faithful boyfriend. But on the night of December 3, 2009 at 11:47p.m I got the call that would soon break my heart into a million pieces. I know it must mean I'm crazy that I know the date and exact time this happened, but like I said I was 16 years old and in love.

It was a Thursday night. Our school had a basketball game were I had to cheer. My ex boyfriend is 2 years older than me so he was away at UCLA attending college while I was still a Junior in High School. We ended up winning the game and I was so excited to finally go home and sleep having stayed up till 3am the following morning studying for a big test I had that day. I jumped in my car and drove home stopping at a fast food restaurant for some dinner. My mom and dad were probably in bed by now and I just told them I would eat after the game.

When I got home it was almost 9:30pm so I went up the stairs, took a quick shower, said goodnight to my mom and dad and went in my room to do some last minute homework. It was 11:00pm when I finally finished. Not haven talked to my boyfriend all day I sent him a quick text message:

Heyy just wanted to say goodnight! LOVE YOU!

I didn't get a reply so I just assumed that he was asleep or studying. So I put my phone next to my pillow with the charger pulled into it and fell asleep, but not for long when I suddenly felt my phone buzzing by my ear.

I opened my eyes and looked at the screen it had EDWARD written across it so I picked it up and pressed the green button.

"Hello." I said a little Horsley do to the fact I just woke up.

"Hey." I heard him say on the other end. He sounded upset about something.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing I just needed to talk to you." he said.

"And this couldn't wait until tomorrow morning?" I said looking at the clock. It was 11:47.

"No it can't." he said.

"Okay what's up? What you want to talk about?" I asked sitting up in my bed yawning.

"I wanted to talk about us." He said.

"What about us?" I asked confused. What was he talking about?

"It's about our situation, Bella I don't think I can do this anymore. I want to break up." Edward said in a rush voice.

"What do you mean you want to break up?" I couldn't believe my ears. The love of my life wanted to break up with me? What did I do wrong?

"I mean exactly what I said. I can't handle me being here and you being there. It's too hard."

"Edward are you okay? Where is this coming from? Just yesterday we were discussing our Christmas plans with each other and now you decide that it's too hard for you?" I was to the point of yelling now. But I tried to stay quiet because my parents were down the hall in there room.

"I just realized that this is never going to work. I'm here and you don't know what I'm doing, and you're over there and I don't know what you're doing. I don't want to live like that. Always wondering if you're cheating on me."

"Edward Anthony Cullen I have never cheated on you and you know that. I as far as keeping an eye on you I have Emmett to do that for me. Don't think I wouldn't know if you went out on a Friday night and got drunk and ended up having a one night stand with some random girl at a bar." I said using my older brother, Emmett, as an excuse to spy on him. Emmett was Edward's best friend and roommate. They also play football together at UCLA.

"I have never got drunk and had an one night stand t with a random girl while I was over here. I know better than that. I just think you are over there not living your life because you are waiting for me and I don't want you missing out on anything. That's why I want to break up." Edward said. I was to the point of tears now. He just broke up with me. Something I thought would never happen.

"You know what Edward I don't care what you do. If you want to break up that's fine. But this is it. Once I'm gone I'm gone and never coming back. So don't think you're going to call me and apologize and just think that I'm going to take you back because I'm not." I said through the tears that were filling my eyes.

"I'm not going to call you. This is it we're done." Edward said. If I didn't know better I would say that he was crying too.

"Good. Good Bye Edward Cullen. I never want to speak to you again." And with that I ended the call. I lay down on my pillow and replayed back what had just happened. When my mind caught up with me it told me to cry. And that's what I did every night for 6 months. I cried myself to sleep over him. I secretly wanted him to call me back and say that he was sorry and didn't mean anything he said, but that call never came.
