Prologue:
I never thought someone as life changing as he would come and save me at the time when all I wanted to do was die. He's my world, my everything. How can you love something that you don't even believe in?

Chapter 1
Five days left I thought to myself. Five days left of pure heaven. I rolled over to face my purple wall. Five days till school goes back for the year. The words danced around in my head until my door was flung open and my little brother George ran in and jumped on top of me. "Come on Wizzie it's time to get up" Wizzie was supposed to be my nickname Lizzy but considering George was only three he couldn't really say any name properly it didn't bother me.
"Argh go away it's still sleep time" I moaned and then tossed and kicked until he got off me and ran out of my room. Holidays were meant for sleeping in and doing nothing. Obviously George didn't understand that, which kind of made a little sense.
I looked at the time after I had slept a little more. It was now 11:24 am and I thought it might be time to rise from my slumber. I grabbed a fresh towel and some clothes from my drawers and zombie like walked to the bathroom. After my shower i put on my clothes that I had gathered before my red and grey Emily The Strange top and black skin tight jeans, my stripy socks and my red converse's. I went over to the mirror and quickly put on my black eye shadow and heavy eyeliner (the only thing I couldn't live without, aside from my phone.) and then ran downstairs.
Nobody seemed to be home except me now. Mum must have taken George to the babysitters place. I never understood why mum needed a baby sitter for George she had me, Andrea and Natasha. Well most days she did.
I wondered what I should do. I grabbed some bread out of the pantry and placed it in the toaster. I left it to cook and gathered my wallet and car keys. By the time I got back my toast was ready. I couldn't be bothered putting any toppings on so I just left it plain and walked out to my car, toast in mouth.
I placed my wallet on the passenger seat and put the keys in the ignition and turned them. I finished eating my toast while my car warmed up. I put it into gear and drove off down out of town.
My head was spinning with thoughts about when school went back. Year 11, only two more years until I could roam the world with all the knowledge I could cram into my head.
I sighed at the thought of another year in the small rooms of Forks High School. The only thing that made school livable was the fact that my friends Kate, James and Zack were there.
I pulled up at the familiar house of Jacob and Billy Black. Billy was at his usual spot in his wheelchair placed on the front porch reading his news paper. I pulled the keys out of the ignition and stepped out of my car.
"Hey Billy" I called out. Billy simply looked up from his newspaper and waved and gave me a wide smile. I walked up the steps onto the porch and went inside to see Jacob. The warm air flowed out of the tiny room that held the three boys on one very small couch. The door closed with a click and all three boys looked up at me with surprised eyes. "Hey Jake, Embry and Quil" I greeted them with a warm smile.
"Hey Lizz come sit with us. We're watching Underworld." Jacob replied with the smile I adored to see on his young face. I took my place on the floor under Jacobs's legs. I didn't really pay much attention to the movie considering I'd missed three quarters of it. So I sat there thinking about what subjects I might get this year. I hoped I got Art because I enjoyed it and it was relatively easy, and if I got History and not Geography that I would get Mr. Franks. I was suddenly awakened from my dreaming when Jacob spoke.
"Lizz? Lizz? Earth to Lizzy" Jacobs soft voice echoed in my ears. I flickered my eyes and found that I was now lying on the couch with my head in Jacobs's crutch -not weird at all- his eyes were their warm dark almost black color, with his usual cheesy grin plastered on his face.
"Ergh me want more sleep" I closed my eyes again with a smile on my face and settled myself more into his warm skin.
"You do realize that you're gunna to have to get up some time soon?"
"Yeah but right now I'm quite happy to just lay here." I smiled again. We stayed like that for a while before I felt a movement coming from underneath my head. And then suddenly my head fell with a soft thud onto the warm cushion Jacob had just been sitting on. I opened my eyes to see him disappearing into the kitchen. I lay there thinking about nothing when Jacob came back with a plateful of biscuits.
"Do you want one?" He asked.
I giggled out the answer "No thanks." He sat down again and I placed my head into his lap.
"Hey Lizzy what time do you have to be at home?"
"Oh Crap! What's the time Jake?"
"2:07."
"Oh no I've gotta go otherwise I'll be late for work!" I quickly got up and raced to the door "Bye Jake!" I called out as I ran down the porch steps to my car "Bye Billy see you soon." I didn't hear his reply only a few mumbles that sounded like "It was nice to see you." before I ducked into my car.
I sped off down the familiar road towards Forks. It was a reasonably sunny day -well for Forks weather- I decided that we needed some groceries from the local store considering that I was too early for work. Pulled into a park got out of my car and walked into the store. As usual it was almost empty. Just the prying eyes from the shop keepers and the other customers. I quickly gather up a basket and walked over to one of the isles and picked up some random items. I walked over to the fridge section and came to a sudden halt I was looking at one of the most gorgeous looking guys I've ever seen. His eyes were a golden color, his hair a dark brown almost black color, his skin a chalky white as if he'd never seen the sun, board shoulders, and overall a great complexion.
I then realized my mouth was hanging open and snapped it shut. He giggled and I blushed. I opened one of the freezer doors and pulled out a packet of chips. I closed the door and almost ran my way out of the section he was located in. Omg, Omg, OMG! Breath Lizzy just keep on breathing and get out of there. I stumbled to the counter and paid for the things I had in the basket. I had no idea of what I had bought only that it cost me 10.60 I didn't really care all I wanted to do now was get to work and out of the watchful eyes of the store. The drive to work was painfully slow.
The Lodge wasn't crowded as usual which I was grateful for. I parked around the back and quickly got into my waitress uniform.
"Morning Lizz" Kate said from behind the glass she was cleaning.
"More like afternoon Kate." I said hiding back my smile.
"Oh is it that time already?"
"Yeah surprising how time flies."
"Yup." She put down the glass, which she was polishing and walked over to me with a stack of menus.
"Here, these are for tonight. Mrs. Parker wanted a to try a new menu tonight"
"Oh yeah sure. Do you know what tables I'm waitressing tonight?" I said while taking the new menus
"Erm I think 5, 6,7,8,9 and 10."
"'Kay thanks." I walked over into the actual restaurant and helped set up the tables with Kate.
Time still seemed to be flying today and when I looked up at the clock it was almost 6 o'clock.
"It's almost time for the dinner rush" I told Kate. She looked up at me and rolled her eyes. I giggled. I walked out to the back and retrieved the menus from where I left them. As I came back into the restaurant I found Kate setting a couple down in their seats. Tables 5, 6,7,8,9 and 10, tables 5, 6,7,8,9 and 10. I kept on repeating them in my head so that I wouldn't forget.
"Hey Kate need some help?"
"Sure, can you take the next few people that come in most of my tables are already full?"
"Sure thing." I sighed and took her place at the counter to seat the next few people at their tables. A couple walked in with their young boy in a pram. I sat them down at the nearest table and returned to the counter I looked up and had to do a double take. It was the same guy from the store. " Ah…hi." I stuttered. He was still as beautiful as I remembered in my head.
"A table for one please." His voice was soft and sweet, like Beethoven's symphony, no his voice was ten times better than that. A slice of heaven in a teaspoon.
Remember what to say come on…there just words Lizz. Anytime soon now. Don't just stand there like a stoner SAY SOMETHING! "Ah yes sir right this way." well look at that she did it. And even in the same day to. I sat him down in a window seat that was meant for two people and handed him a menu. "Would you like anything to drink?"
"Just a glass of water thanks." He gave me a smile as I left to go fetch him some water. Omg, Omg, OMG! He's just another customer ok just another customer.
I placed the chilled glass of water onto his table. "Are you ready to order now?"
"Yes thanks. Can I have a garden salad with the Italian dressing please?"
"Sure I'll be right back." I turned around quickly hiding my blush and walked back into the kitchen to hand in the order. The chef took it with a sigh, and I turned around to walk back out to my post. I seated a few other customers before his order was called out. I picked it up and walked over to his table. "Here you go" I smiled and he returned the gesture back. I turned around quickly so that he wouldn't see me blushing.
Quitting time finally came. Finally I can go home. I dashed to my car and drove home as fast as possible. Before I knew it I was pulling into the familiar driveway. I got out of my car and dashed upstairs.
"Is that you Lizzy?" of course it is who else.
"Yes mum I'm going up to bed. And I'm not hungry"
"Okay"
I raced upstairs and changed into my pajamas and hoped into bed. Today had been a very long and crazy day.
