I do not own Twilight, just the story line

I do not know anything about the service. This is just how I need things to happen to fit the story line.

PLEASE DO NOT HATE ON ME NOT KNOWING ABOUT THE TRUE SERVICE!

LOOKING FOR A BETA THAT KNOWS THE SERVICE!

Chapter 1

BPOV

"I don't love you, and you were just a distraction," Edward said to me in the woods. "You promised! In Phoenix, you promised you would stay" I replied hoping he would stay. These words continuously play within my mind every day for years since he left me in the no-good forest, but these words also jumped started my new life.

I was walking home from my long shift at Newton's Sporting Center. That is when I saw the one thing that would forever change my life for the better. I saw a flyer, advertising for the Army. I knew that this is precisely what I needed, but I would have to talk to Charlie first. Once I got home, I just had to wait until Charlie came back.

At about half an hour of being home alone and thinking of what I was going to say, Charlie walked through the door. "Hey Bella, what's up, you seem quite about something?" Charlie said as he eyed me suspiciously. "Hey, Char—dad, you may want to sit down, what I have to say is very important to me." He sat down and looked me in the eyes "Oh My God, your pregnant, aren't you? Tell me who it is, I will kill him for this" His face has turned bright red, and he looked ready to kill. "No dad, I'm not pregnant, but what would you say if I told you I wanted to join the Army?" He looked at me with this wide-eyed expression, like he did not understand that I just told him I was not pregnant. He blinked his eyes a couple of times before finally coming back to reality "Why" he asked.

I looked him dead in the eyes and said, "I want to be able to help people, and I feel like I cannot do that here since everyone still pities me from when Edward left." He looked borderline heartbroken, but said: "Ok, your 18 years old I can't tell you no, but promise that you will always come back to me in one piece." There was only one thing that I could do, I ran up and gave him the biggest hug, he is giving me the chance to start a new life. "Thank you, dad, and I promise I will always come back."
