Edward's POV

I'd never given much thought to how I would die. Dying didnt seem like a possibility at the time I'd exiled myself to Forks. Renee and her new husband (that's about the fourth or fifth one I've seen in about two months) wanted to go traveling, and no way was I going to ride along and listen to them talk about their differences, and hear them kiss the whole entire ride there.

So I'm leaving to Forks, and they can go off on their own. Renee tried to hug me, but I refused it. She tried so hard to make me happy, by changing herself, but I wasnt happy. "Have a good flight, son. Call when you land." She smiled at me, but I just rolled my eyes and threw in my Ipod.

I faced destruction in you

just killed me and walked away

I gave my heart to the cruel

My heart will not beat again

Okay, that's not going to make me feel any better. I shuffled the song again.

Your eyes are swallowing me

Mirrors start to whisper, shadows start to sing

My skins smothering me help me find a way to breathe!

Sure, that'll help. I fell asleep on the plane ride and as it touched down in Seattle, I woke up. My ipod was almost dead, and it was playing some weird song. I turned it off, and headed to get my luggage.

" Edward, how've you been?" Charlie asked, as he drove us both to his house. Well, mine as soon as I got there.

" Great, I guess." If you count Renee being a slut great, then yep, just great.

Charlie started talking sports with me, and the truth was, I didnt want to talk sports. I was more into cars.

He pulled into the driveway, and as I unbuckled my seatbelt and got out, I saw a truck sitting in the driveway.

" What do you think?" Charlie said from behind me.

I turned around toward him, in astonishment. There's no way he bought that for me.

"You...bought this? No way!" I went over to it, taking a look inside. "Man, this car rocks!"

Charlie chuckled and carried my things inside, leaving me to marvel and admire the cab. I spent a good hour fixing it up, and was still trying to get the oil in the car when a car pulled up to our house.

"Hey, liking the cab, I see." A gruff voice said behind me. I whirled, almost hitting my head and grinned.

" Billy, nice to see you again!" I said, shaking his hand. A young lady hopped out of the truck beside mine, and smiled at me.

" You are?" I asked, trying to place a name with her face.

" Jackie. We used to play doctor together when we were little."

" Oh, that's right!" I laughed and she joined in.

" So this truck was yours, originally?" I said, moving to put the last of the oil in the truck.

" Yeah, your father bought it off Billy." Jackie commented. " I'm fixing up my own car."

" What is it?" I asked, interested now.

" A Volkswagen Rabbit. Its gonna be awesome!" She laughed. " You should come down and take a ride when its done."

" Deal." We talked some more and then they left. I started up the truck, liking the sound of it as it turned over. Then I shut the engine off, and headed inside to eat dinner.

That night, I couldnt sleep. The rain pelted the window and the roof, making it worse for me. I sat up, and pulled my ipod out from my suitcase, turning it on and laying on my pillow, listening to calm music. Within seconds I was sleeping with it in my ear.

School wasnt that great either the next day. I had the map in front ofy face, and I was laughed at cause I looked pale. Arizona didnt have any teams that I liked, and I mostly spent my days watching NASCAR or those fix it up car shows.

I arrived at my class a little late, and sat down, out of breath. The teacher scolded me for being late, and I just rolled my eyes. In the back of the class, I saw a very pretty girl, with brown hair, and eyes the color of coal. She was staring at me now, hatred in her eyes, and I turned away, gulping down the bile that had just come up.

I had a lot to learn before I'd fit into this school.
