Chapter 1
"Love is a game that two can play and win." That is my word, phrase, saying, belief. I used to say that in my life, I just know that something will happen in my life that is connected to the word, love. Yet, when I was 14, my life was changed. I fell for someone, but the love I know I deserved was not given back to me. It hurt. But, when I was 17, that someone realized something, I didn't expect.
I am Isabella Marie Swan, call me Bella for short. I am a simple girl who dreams to be loved someday. I am a girl who fell in love, got hurt, fell in love again, got hurt again. Well, follow my cycle, but change the last one to, had a happily ever after.
This is my story, my Fairytale.

Bella's POV
I was on a meadow surrounded by evergreen pine trees. I was waiting for someone, but I don't know who really in particular. I was lying on a flowery floor looking at the clouds, above me.
I was disturbed when I felt the ground shake. I turned around to expect a loving face given off by my fantasy, Edward Cullen. He was staring at me and the minute our eyes met, I feel like I want the whole forever getting lost in those green orbs and wait till sparks sparkle. He took me in his arms and kissed my forehead.
"I love you, my Bella". He said all perfectly, his voice velvet and soft. Seductive.
I responded, "I love you, too.", as I nuzzled his cheek and kissed it.
"I, beep, beep, beep, are, beep, life, beep." What the hell?
"Edward, I can't understand you!" I raised an eyebrow at him. "Please repeat what you said."
"I, beep, that, beep, beep, love, you, beep, you, are, my beep, now." That was awkward. I can't even understand him with all the beeping noise his making. Then it hit me. I'm totally, dreaming again. I have to get myself out of this.
"Wake up, Bella. Wake up!" I thought. And I began to shake my head side wards, and I was out.
Reflex action, I sat up hurriedly, wiping all the cold sweat my dream gave me.
"What a nightmare. That's the 3rd this week." I whispered taking a glance at my clock. 6:30, it read, and I lied down for a while.
"Why am I having dreams about Edward, only ending up as nightmares as in all of the 3 I had this week?" I suddenly thought and questioned myself.
And I remembered having to see Edward in a romantic place ending up getting bitten by a gorgeous vampire, you guessed it, him. I also remembered having to see Edward in my room, having me rest atop his chest while he was hugging me tenderly. And then he kissed me softly, but my dad, Charlie, came out through my door with a gun and shot Edward first and then saying "Sorry, Bella. Punishment came to you for being a damn bitch.", and he shot me.
My hands flew to my eyes.
"So what, if Edward and I end up together, nothing will go wrong?" I questioned myself. "I love him and that's all I really know. I think it's enough to be with him." I rolled side wards, so I was facing my nightstand. And there I am again thinking about him.
"Snap out of it, Bella!", my conscience told me, " He's never going to be yours. He is already seeing someone else, remember? ", I sighed at that thought.
Yeah. My conscience is right. I can't be with Edward. He is only my best friend and he knows I think that it is only until that. "No moving forward," I thought. I rolled side wards again so I was facing the ceiling.
I still remember the first day we met. We were sophomores back then. Right, you guessed it, we were 14 years old. He was a new student at Forks High School. He was sweet, kind, gorgeous, and everything. I closed my eyes and looked back through my memories.
Flashback:
"Rose, you know I would never go out with that loser, Newton". I scolded Rosalie, my best friend since I was 7. Our parents were business partners and we had a special dinner at their house and we were introduced to each other along with her twin, Jasper.
It was raining that day, and yeah, Forks is the rainiest part of the state so we, I mean me and my family slept over. That night Rose's parents insisted that I stay at Rosalie's room so that we would be closer. In fact, her parents were right. We were destined to be the best friends. We had fun that night and rest of the story was history to me.
"But Bella, Mike is the one for you, I know it." She urged. I stuck my tongue at her.
"No you're not.", she pouted," I mean Rose, I am the only one who knows who is the one for me." I said having a dreamy look on my face as I said the last part.
She smiled but her smile was different, it was grim. "I know, but under one condition, little missy," she wagged a finger at me, "you should go...."
Uh-oh, not now. I took a step backwards and ran, for my life. "...shopping with me", Rose continued excitedly. I bet I saw her blink and open her eyes, ta-da, I was out of sight. Like always, she rushed outside and said, "You won't get away with this, Bella."
I laughed at her. "I will, Rose. I am clumsy but I can still run fast.", I giggled. But when I looked forward, I bumped a hard thing. I dropped my books in accident, and paper flew everywhere. "Damn, wall. Clumsiness, I hate you." I thought. I was set to my knees and picked up my books as well as the paper.
When I realized that a pair of hands were helping me, too. I didn't bother to look on whether who's hands where they. I continued to pick up, when I know, by accident our hands met. I felt an electric shot, build up in that area of my body.
I couldn't resist to take a look at that person that created it.
I looked up to see a pair of emerald green eyes boring into mine. It felt like minutes and hours before I got the guts to talk. "I'm sorry." I was surprised we said that at the same time. I giggled, he laughed quietly. I looked down and felt myself blush. I also realized that we were both done picking up our stuff, the books mine, and I think the papers were his.
I looked up again to see him staring at me with a crooked smile on his face. Blush action, occurred. Again, he laughed quietly. "Boy, what a musical laugh you have there." I suddenly had the urge to say to him, which I didn't. His laugh was beautiful. It took time to realize that we were still kneeling until someone coughed.
"Ahem, ahem.", that person coughed. I looked at that person and saw Rose, leaning against a locker with her hands crossed near her chest. "I'm sorry to interrupt your sweet moment, but Bella here has a class to go to.", she said grinning and looking at me with excited eyes.
She was right, it was time for gym class, I hate it. A hand suddenly appeared in my vision and I realized it was the guy's hand. "I'm so sorry, miss. I didn't mean to interrupt you for not going to your next class." He said as I took it and he helped me up.
I smiled sweetly, and extended a hand. "It's ok. By the way, I'm Bella." He smiled that crooked smile again, it made my heart melt for the first time. "Like what I've heard. I'm Edward. Edward Cullen. I'm new here.", he said shaking my hand.
"So that's why I didn't see him here before." I thought, "Tick-tock, Bella. You have a class to go to.", conscience here said.
I frowned. "I have to go now.", he was about to speak when I continued. "I still have a class, remember?". He nodded and frowned. I pity him when he did that. But was suddenly replaced by a brave smile. "Well, see you around, Bella.", he told me. I nodded and waved goodbye and he waved back and we went separate ways.
End of Flashback.
And after that we enjoyed each other's company, and we became the best of friends. And we became inseparable.
I rolled again side wards and took a glance at my clock. 6:59, it read. I closed my eyes, and suddenly my eyes jerked open. I remember, school starts at 7:15. "Shoot," I muttered. I'm going to be late. I rushed for my bathroom and took a bath. I used my strawberry shampoo, and used my vanilla scented body wash.
I rushed to my closet and chose my outfit. I took out my denim black skinny jeans and my dark grey striped button cowl neck top. I also wore my silver converse and got my gold Louis Vuitton bag. I put on some lipgloss and mascara.
I raced downstairs and said goodbye to my maid, Angela. I went for my baby, my own car, my Mitsubishi iMiEV 2009 edition . I got it for my twelfth birthday when it was still not available in other countries and even here and was only allowed to drive it when I was sixteen. I loved it.
And I was off to school.
