Chapter 1
JPOV
"Mom, I don't understand exactly why I have to move all of a sudden to go live with dad. This is crazy I'm about to turn 16 and your just uprooting me from everything I've ever known and for what?" I aid as my mom drove me to the airport to fly out to Washington.
"I already explained this, me and your father agreed when you almost 16 you would go to live with him and your just gonna have to deal with it." Mom yelled at me after many times of explaining this. Ahead of us I saw the airport and felt the dread rising up in my stomach. This is so stupid heck my girlfriend whom I love very much doesn't even know if she wants to keep us going. Three hours f from now I will be landing in hell.
"Jacob over here son!" I heard my father yelling as I stepped of the plane. I looked in another direction hoping if I ignored it long enough everything around me would dissolve and my life would go back to normal. "Jacob come on I don't have all day." Unfortunately I'm not so lucky. I walked over my father's truck throwing my bags in the back and climbed on in. "So you excited about living here?" my dad chimed as we drove along to his house.
"No dad, I'm not at all. My life has been completely uprooted from everything I have ever known al because of some stupid thing you and mom decided back when not thinking about how I might feel about all of this. So don't go asking if I'm excited about living here." I blurted our tired already of everything.
"Well son you're just gonna have to deal with it. You will see soon enough that there are reasons behind me and your mother planning it this way. That is the end of the discussion. You will get used to it soon enough." I stared out the window wondering what my father had meant by that. Suddenly I could not wait to get to the house to call Bella and bring some sanity to my suddenly crazy world.
"-and there is where you will be going to school at least for the time being." I looked over as I realized my father had been talking the entire time I was thinking. I nodded my head to make him think I was listening knowing whatever he had said I would figure out on my own later. "And this is home. I know it isn't much but its home for me and now for you too." I looked out the window to see what he called home and saw a little shack that barely looked big enough for one person let alone two. I t looked like it was going to fall apart at any minute with the red shutters barely hanging on by one hinge and the middle of the porch sagging so bad it was touching the ground. No to mention the roof look like it was gonna cave in.
"This I where you live? It looks like the abandoned house down the lane that…" I caught myself before I told my dad about my late night adventures with my girlfriend.
"That you what?" my father inquired upon realizing that I was trying to hide something.
"That I used to hang out in with my friends." I said hoping he would buy my lie though judging by the look on his face he didn't.
"Now you won't be lying while living under my roof. I will let this one and only this one slide but no more lying you understand?" I nodded realizing I needed to watch what I say and brush up on my lying techniques.
"Please tell me you at least have a phone I can use cause I would really like to call my girlfriend back home I promised her I would call when I got here." I looked at my father silently hoping he would say I had to walk back into town or something like that.
"I have a cell phone but you should have asked why we were in town because we don't get good signal out here. But if you promise to make it back here before dark you can take the bike into town to make your call. The best place to go is that little beach I pointed out to you on the way here." I suddenly wished I had paid attention but hoped it had even right on the main road.
"Thanks dad, see you in a few hours then!" I called out as I grabbed the phone and the bike leaning against the house and got ready to take off. "I'll unpack when I get back promise." I said as I hopped on the bike and took off into town. Luckily the little beach he mentioned was right past the school and I was able to get there quickly. Only one other small group was there as I sat down to call Bella.

"Ed you really need to find yourself someone and soon. It's depressing watching you still mourning over Brian from over a year ago. I mean come on you were the one to break up with him after all." My overly cheerful sister chimed at me as we sat on the each with all our siblings. I looked away from here going on just in time to see someone I never has seen before settling down on the other end of the beach with what looked like a cell phone.
"Hey Alice, who is that I don't remember seeing him before do you?" I pointed him out to my sister knowing if anyone would know who he was it would be her.
"No I don't think I have ever seen him. You should go over and introduce yourself." I gave her a death glare hoping she would realize what a crazy idea that was. "Fine if you're gonna be that way I will go talk to him for you." Before I could get a chance to stop her she was up and on her way over there.

"But I really do miss you and we can make this work even with the distance." I pleaded as Bella tried to tell me that she didn't think we could do the distance. "At least gives it a couple months and if you're still not happy with it was can call it off but give it a chance for me please?"
"Fine we can do that but I got to go so I won't be late for work bye." She hung up before I could tell her goodbye and before I got a chance to call her back I notice a girl from the group across the beach approaching me swiftly. I stood up to greet her like the southern boy I was.
"Hey my name is Alice and I realized while looking over here that I haven't seen you around here before." She spoke in a way too high pitched voice that made my toes curl.
"Yeah I just moved in with my dad. I'm from Arizona. Name's Jacob." I extended a hand to her which she eagerly took into hers.
"So you will be going to school with us right? You should come meet everyone." Before I could turn down the offer she was pulling me across the sand and I couldn't help but to think how strong she was for such a small girl. What kind of people were these? Introducing themselves to a complete stranger? Must be one trusting and safe town. I'm gonna die here. "So everyone this is Jacob he just moved here from Arizona was it?" I nodded. "Yes Arizona and he will be joining us at school. Jacob these are my brothers Edward, Jasper, and Emmett and my sister Rosalie." I lifted my hand in greeting completely unsure of myself suddenly. And why was the one she called Edward just staring at me? The burly looking one she said was Emmett stood up and stood a good few inches about me.
"Nice to meet you Jacob. Hope you enjoy it here." He leaned close to my ear. "And don't worry we're not trying to scare you but my sister can get overly excited sometimes. You'll have to forgive her." He patted my back and turned to go sit back down.
"So what brings you to this little neck of the woods Jacob?" Jasper said questioningly. I looked at him not entirely sure how to answer that question. Do I tell them the truth or make something up?
"I just had to move up here to live with my dad cause of some family thing is all." I figured that was a safe thing to tell them without telling them the truth or lying to them. "They had plans to move me here before I turned sixteen so here I am." I said as coyly as possible so they wouldn't see the truth behind it all. I saw the Edward guy still staring at me and couldn't help but think he was checking me out. Why did that idea not completely repulse me? This town was changing me already! "I got to go because I got to get back home before dark. See you guys at school." I rushed across the beach to the bike and ran off the beach as fast as I could.
