When I was ten years old me and all my friends would walk four blocks to our neighbor hood.

Every day, on the second block home, we would pass an old house with an old yard where a sad looking dog would lay, tied on a short leash.

Rain or shine the dog would lay there. The yard was never mowed by the sour old man the occupied the house, alone.

I was sick of passing that sad dog every day for two years. So the summer going into middle school me and my friends did something about it.

We snuck out in the middle of the night trying to be as quiet as possible for a bunch of rowdy boys.

When we entered the yard the dog didn't make a noise, made no sign to acknowledge our presence.

We unhooked the dog from the chain and darted out of there like hell on wheels.

The next day we all walked by the old house and there the dog lay. He didn't move an inch.

Was he stupid? Did he not see that he was free from that old man and the old yard!?

I think, five years later, I can finally understand why the dog stayed.


My backpack drops to the ground in the foyer. It's the only thing in this god forsaken house that was out of place.

I know typically on the last day of school everyone goes out and partys but my mind is about to fucking burst. Everyone at school wouldn't just their fucking traps.

So what if I'm going to be a senior in three months? It just means soon I'll be able to get out of this shitty town. This shitty state! Holy fuck even the country is corrupted.

I don't mean to sound pessimistic. Really, I don't. I mean I have great friends, the few that I have, loving parents, we're not bad on money, and I'm smart.

But this town... nothing good can come from it. Everything is dreary and not worth giving a second glance at.

"Edward! Don't forget-" I walked swiftly up the stairs ignoring my mothers calls about something I could give a rat's ass about. My door slams from the wind coming from my balcony. My only salvation.

I grab my pack of cigarettes off my desk and step out into the fresh air, fumbling to get a joint out and allow myself to just chill.

"Smoking can cause serious damage to your lungs that may or may not be reversible you know." an unfamiliar extremely feminine voice came from the other side of the balcony. My balcony has two entrances, one in my room the other in the guest bedroom.

Who the fuck forgot to tell me we were having a guest? I'm fucked.

My head snapped to the voice and in the chair curled up reading some heart functioning book was a teenage girl.

Who the fuck was this girl and why did she think she could bitch at me in my own house?!

She looked back down at her book and I noticed her appearance for the first time. She had hair the cascaded down past her chest, it was brown. I liked brunetts. It was wavy and thick and beautiful. Her face was pale and heart shaped. She had large brown eyes that almost matched her pretty hair. Her lips looked like what Emmett would call DSL. Dick sucking lips. How vulgar and sexy.

I wondered what her body looked like. She was wearing a four times too big sweatshirt and sweatpants that looked like could fit twelve of me.

Probably 'cause she's a fat ass. I mean it is summer. Why else would she be wearing such large clothing?

She's still pretty, though.

"You'd be the expert on health, right?" I glanced down at her medical book just when her eyes were looking to meet mine. What did she want to be a fucking doctor like my old man?

"No. I'm trying to get more knowledge on how Charlie... I mean my dad passed away." Oh. Ohhh! I think I recall someone mentioning to me that Isabella Swan, daughter of Chief Swan, was coming to live with us until graduation because she wanted to spend time at the place her father loved most.

Funny how you don't care about something until you're staring at it in the face.

How fucking stupid.

I give her two fucking weeks until she flies her pale ass back to where ever the hell she came from.

"You're Bella." It wasn't a question. We both knew who she was. But oddly enough, her cheeks turned a beautiful shade of pink. Damn.

"Yeah... how did you know?" Was she fucking stupid? Was she holding that book hoping to gain some knowledge? Everyone knows who she is in Forks.

"Everyone knows who you are. It's Forks." I take another puff and ignore her dramatic cough.

"I know... but everyone so far has called me Isabella. How did you know I liked to be called Bella?" Her voice was meek while she folded the corner of the page to mark her spot. She set her book in her lap.

"You don't look like an Isabella," I took another long drag, "Bella suits you." I suddenly felt very stupid. Bella suits her? I didn't even fucking know this medical researcher miss hottie with a fatty body.

"Well thanks Edward. For getting my name right and infecting my lungs with black tar. So much for fresh air." She stood with her book in her hands and sharply turned into the guest... her bedroom.

So she has a bit of the bitchy attitude does she?

Fuck that. I don't need another bitch in my life. Rose and Alice aren't even my girls and I already know that I want to stay single for the rest of my life. I see what Jasper and Emmett go through.

I'm not into the old 'hit it and quit it' either. I may look and sound like a bad boy but Alice says I'm just a never-been-kissed sex haired smoker that will never get a girl.

Go figure. That name sounds like I'm a fag trying to get laid. Great.

Fuck this town for being boring as fuck. Fuck my parents for allowing that bitch to invade my house. Fuck that bitch for invading my house! And fuck this summer being already the worst summer in history.

Fuck.


I'm not dead! Just a little writers block. Thanks for all the wonderful reviews for BB and no I have not dropped it. Just taking a slight break, hoping this will get the writing juice flowing. And I know that in this story Charlie is dead and in Battered Beauty Charlie is an abusive drunk but I really don't hate him! In fact other than Seth, Charlie is my favorite side character in the Twilight saga!

Yes I know this chapter is short but it's just a tester. To see if I really want to release another story.

Well anyways, I know that Edward swears a lot but that will get fixed! I just wanted to do a bit of a bad boy since in BB he's such a gent!

Review and tell me what you think of this!
