Annie

Annie is your average teenager living with a family of vampires. This is the story of her life, love, and everything in between. I added the characters Annie and Matt. (I got the idea to create the character of Annie from Vanessa Carlton's song Annie.) I'm sorry that this won't be a B/E but I can't write in the mind set of Bella...I've tried and it just sucked hard! But I didn't take Bella out which is what might make things confusing. It's Bella/Matt and Annie/Edward. I started writing this wanting to go from Twilight, but I thought it would move too slow and decided to start it in New Moon!!

Please give it a try!!


I was driving to school today. It wasn't raining for once, which meant that everyone felt I could handle being behind the wheel. One accident and I'm forever the passenger, probably due to the fact that I totaled the car and ended up with a broken arm. I wasn't driving everyone, though, just my sisters. We three girls all crammed into the tiny silver Volvo. It wasn't my first choice, but I had learned to take what I can get and smile about it. Plus there was the fact that no one else trusted me with their cars, leaving me with no other option.

Glancing in the rearview mirror, I see the giant headlights of Emmett's Jeep. I smile softly to myself. He was following closely behind me, no doubt at the request of Rosalie or even one of the other boys. I hated the way they all treated me like a delegate porcelain doll. It was ridiculous the way they all keep their eyes glued on me, and I knew that my every move was carefully followed and thought out. They would probably know if something was going to happen to me before I did. The thought was reassuring and creepy and overprotective all at the same time.

The music was barely audible, at least to me. I could see Alice in the back bobbing her head and singing along quietly. She didn't seem to be as rigid as Rosalie, though I knew she was just as alert. Rosalie was stiff next to me. She was concentrated on the environment outside the front window and whether something was going to jump out of no where and try to hurt me. She was the most protective over me. I knew she had her reasons, but it was sometimes overbearing.

I glanced back again quickly this time, knowing that Rosalie was watching my every move. I could see him in the passenger seat. He was probably just as nervous as Rosalie. He trusted me, though I knew he was only giving me what I wanted because he knew I'd do what I wanted anyway. We had a good relationship that way. I liked knowing that he was there when I needed him, yet he was far enough away that I felt like I still had some personal space. Not everyone realized how overbearing they came off. It had gotten to the point that I didn't fight it anymore. Edward was an exception. He liked the distance, which was the problem sometimes. Our relationship was too complicated to think about sometimes. I found that it was just better to think about the present and not fret about what was going to come later. All I needed was what I had now.

I thought about the guy that was waiting for me at school. He was just some school mate that had the pleasure of dating me for the month. I tended to go through boyfriends like tissues. Being a junior in high school I wasn't looking for anything more serious. A cute guy that was a good kisser was all I needed for the time being. Something more serious could potentially become problematic. I was a well liked girl at Forks High, and I used that to my advantage. I had plenty of friends which put me with the in crowd, and the fact that my family was the center of all the gossip it was easy to find people to talk to. Everyone wanted to be close to the Cullens and what better way than to befriend the only normal and fun one in the school. Sure it sounded a little cruel and insensitive, but I didn't care. I knew which ones were in it to be my friends and which ones just wanted to know all the dirty little secrets, which I never told.

Life was short, and I knew it. That was the only reason I was trying so hard to get all the living I could done now. Rosalie had broken it down for me. I was only fourteen, and she told me the cold hard truth about everything a girl that age would never want to hear. There were some things that I had hoped to avoid for most of my life. My family didn't see it that way. They all wanted what was best for me. This I always laughed at, because there was no way for them to know what was best for me. No matter what I told them, they wanted me to live like they didn't or couldn't. I was the little hope that they had left. A little piece of normal that was going to be their sunshine in a dark world, I endured anything they felt I had to.

"Annie, please focus on the road." Rosalie cautioned me with annoyance. I gave her a weak, but reassuring smile as I trained my eyes only on the stretch of road in front of me. We were almost there, though we could have been there sooner if they had let me drive a little faster than the speed limit. It normally took us less time, considering their lack of human response time. I knew it was killing Emmett to drive slower than normal.

"Rose, she's doing fine. Cool it." Alice's voice rang from the back seat. I gave her a smile in the mirror. I could never choice between the two of them. They were both perfect sisters in their own special ways. Rosalie had the protection and worry down, while Alice was fun and clever. I knew which one to go to for any type of problem. No matter what was going on in my life I had someone to go to.

Love and reassurance was never lacking in my life. My family had the perfect system. My parents were always there whenever I needed anything, they loved me more than anyone I'd ever known and we weren't even related by blood. My sisters were always there to cheer me up and make sure that I was the happiest I could be. But when it came to my brothers it was a whole other ball game. The boys were fun to say the least. Each one of them had a different relationship with me, which made everything more complicated. Matt was my blood brother, and he was the youngest of the Cullen family. I couldn't remember what he was like when he was alive, but I didn't care. I loved him all the same. Emmett was the most fun to hang out with. I loved playing bizarre and stupid games with him. He thought I was the funniest thing he'd ever seen. Jasper was down right my favorite brother. He was always looking out for me, even when I didn't see him doing it. He was the one I ran to when I was afraid or hurt. Ironically he was the only one that really felt like a brother should. Edward was in a whole other category. I loved him.

OoOoOoOoOoO

This was before Bella came into the picture. I wasn't so sure about her then, but now I don't know how I survived without her. She was the best friend I always needed. Someone to share my family's secret with, and being able to talk about normal teenage girl things with as well, Bella was the perfect match. I liked having her around, even if the others didn't. Matt was happier, which made me like her even more.

I was surrounded by different wrapping paper, straying away from the usual stuff Alice used. Bella's birthday was coming up and I was going to make sure she loved it. She had told us not to do anything. I knew why, I understood why, but that wasn't going to stop me. She was my best friend and I was going to do something nice for her. My gift wasn't as extravagant as the others, but that's what made it so special. She would love me little homemade photo album of the passed summer. It didn't cost a thing and it held so many memories I'm sure none of us were ever going to forget.
