"Mom please I am going to be fine," I tried to tell Renee for the last time.
"Bella baby, you have never been away like this before."
"Renee she will be fine. Bella is a big girl now. Plus she is only three hours away. If she wants to come home or anything she can. Remember she has her truck. Now come on Renee we have to get back to the boys."
I was thankful for my father at that moment. He was always so logical. He was the perfect match to my erratic mother. When she was over reacting about me moving away to go to college, he was always there to tell her she needs to take a moment and relax. I knew this was going to be hard on her, for some reason she was never able to let me leave her side. There was that one summer when Charlie and I finally talked her into letting me go away to sleep away camp when I was twelve. She went crazy after three days, she called the camp every day about me; to make sure I was fine. They really hated her that summer. When camp was over I was asked to not come back the next summer.
"Mom I will call you twice a week. I will come home every other weekend or something like that."
"OK. Come on Charlie let's go before I cry again. I love you so much Bella, please be good baby," my mother pulled me in and gave me a tight hug. She kissed both of my cheeks and then looked at me like it was the last time I would see her.
"Bye Mom, bye Dad I love you both very much."
I watched my parents walk out the door to my new apartment that I share with my best friend Angela. They both gave me a last kiss and waved. I smiled and watched then go to the elevator. I closed the door once their door was closed too. I placed my back on the door and get out a large sigh.
"OMG I thought she was never going to leave," I said to Angela who was setting up the TV in the den area.
"She is sweet. She did not want you to leave her. Since my parents have the twins they where more then happy to ship me off and tell me they will see me at Thanksgiving."
"Angela that is not true. Plus let's not worry about that. This is going to be wonderful. I can not believe that we got this great place right by campus. I mean we are two blocks away!"
"What's even better is all the cute college boys who live here too," Angela giggled.
"Yeah, that is very true too. I am gonna go and set up my bedroom."
"OK Bella, we should not get too crazy tonight since classes start tomorrow. What time is your first class?"
"It is at ten so it's not too bad, how about you?"
"Same. OK well do you wanna go food shopping in a few hours after we get things set up? We need to get a lot of things."
"OK. How about we leave at three? That will give us four hours to get everything we have here set up."
"Perfect Bella."
I walked down the short hall way to my bedroom. Our apartment was small but perfect for the two of us. It was a two bed one bath place. We had a small little kitchette with a cute little dinning room attached. Then there was the den. What I loved was that we had a balcony since we where on the fourth floor.
I went into my little bedroom and looked at the boxes that we had brought with us. Most of them said things like clothes, books, miss. My father had bought and put together a new book case for me, some wall shelves, a bed, and a desk. I grabbed the box that said miss. I looked inside and brought out the hangers to put into my closet. As I went threw the monitions of moving into a new place I thought about how I had gotten here.
I remember when I started to get the acceptance letters from the different colleges. I had gotten accepted to several different colleges on the east coast. My mother refused to let me go that far away. So I had to also been accepted to USC. My mother also refused to let me go there so now here I am at Seattle University. I was not too upset I mean I get to go to school with Angela.
I was not leaving much back in Forks. I mean I had my parents who loved me very much. There was also my two little brothers, Charlie Jr. and Chase. Since they had been born my mother has became even more erratic then before. With having two sons, in their terrible twos, they get into A LOT of trouble. I had a few friends who had gone to all different schools around the country. Jessica had gone to Florida. Mike was over in Connecticut. Ben was in California.
The other person I left in Forks was Jake. He was my boyfriend all threw high school. I was already missing him. I broke up with him because he still had one year of school left and I was going to be gone. I was not going to know how much I would see him so I made the choice to leave him. I know it seems cruel, but it makes sence. There is no need to have a relationship drag on if there might not be anything there. I pulled a picture of the two of us out of the box and set it down on my book shelf. I was going to need to get a night stand type thing; we had forgotten to get that at the store.
I was done with my room in about three hours. I went out into the den to see Angela on the couch asleep. She had moved in two days ago so she had already done moving her stuff in. Her parents had given us their old furniture for the living room. I went to the kitchen to see if we had any food. There was none so I started to make a list of everything we where going to need.
I had gotten an academic scholarship, so school was free for me. I had a ton of money saved up for this. Also my parents were going to pay for my portion of the rent and bills. They also had given me 1000$ for all the moving in stuff that we where going to be buying. By the time it was time for us to go, I had a three page list of what we where going to have to buy at the store.
"Angela, time to wake up." I saw her move a little bit but she did not get up fully. "Angela, Brat Pitt is here to see you."
She woke up with that one. That was Angela's big crush, Brat Pitt. She sat up and looked around. "Liar," she called to me.
"Ready to go shopping?" I asked with a smile.
"I am always ready to go. So I saw a Target right out side of the city. Do you wanna go there they have like, everything."
"You know how much I love Target. Do you wanna take my truck since I have a huge bed that we can put all of our crap that we buy in?"
"Awesome. Let me get my shoes on and we can go."
I sat at our little kitchen table and waited. It was going to be nice to go shopping for my new home. It already felt like a home to me. It felt like I truly did fit in this building. When Angela come out we where ready to leave. I grabbed my keys and locked the door on our way out.
When I got into the hallway I saw someone moving in next to me. It was a family of three girls. They where all very stunning. The one that stuck out the most was the girl was strawberry blond hair. She also had these stunning golden eyes.
"Hi, my name is Tanya! These are my sisters Irina and Kate," the red head said and motioned to the two girls behind her.
Both of the sisters were blonds. The difference was the Irina had short hair while Kate's hair was a lot longer. They all seemed to be extremely sweet and I was hoping that we could be friends. They looked slightly older then me but I figured they might not be freshmen like I was.
"So there is going to be a party in the building tonight I hope we will see you two there," Kate said and went back to moving things in.
"That sounds wonderful!" Angela told the girls and we were now heading down the hall to the elevator.
Angela and I where in my car and she was directing me to the Target. We where both talking and giggling about what tonight would be like. Angela was a very quite and shy girl in high school. Over the summer she started to come out of her shell. Since I was not the social butterfly either we both promised to go to more parties and be more daring.
It did not take us long to get to Target. When we got in there we both went nuts. We went clothing shopping first, like normal girls. Then we got some new shoes. Then it was time to get stuff we needed. We bought cleaning stuff, decorations, and food. It took us a total of three hours to get all of the shopping done. It also took us four trips out to our car to bring all of the stuff in.
I went out to move my car into a parking spot and not over by the door. When I got to my floor I saw that there was three more people moving in on our floor. There was a whole bunch of boxes out side of three doors. I did not see any of the people in there but I was excited to meet more of my neighbors. If they where anything like the three sisters I met earlier this was going to be a fun year.

"Carlisle, I WILL NOT BE A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT AGAIN!" I heard Rosalie scream at our father.
I had known this was coming since he announced that it was time for us to leave Alaska. We had been here for too long and it was time for us to leave. I knew Rose was not going to let us move some where to be children again.
"I WILL LEAVE. I NEED A GOOD TEN YEARS OF JUST BEING AN ADULT," again Rose screamed.
I saw that Esme was getting upset. She hated it if we where to separate. She wanted to be able to play mother since she never got to have children of her own. I could hear Alice calling me. It was a mental call so no one else heard it.
"Edward. Did you see this coming?"
I looked at the little pixie and nodded yes.
"Do you think that she is going to win?"
I nodded again. I could hear Carlisle having the mental debate. He knew that this was really starting to bother a lot of us. I knew that it was easier if we started really out really young. That way we could stay in a place longer.
"OK Rose we will have a family vote," Carlisle told her.
"FINE," she huffed as she sat down at the table with the rest of us, before she was pacing back and forth.
The table was not used for food. Since out diet consisted of animals we cough there was no need to bring them inside to eat and cause a mess. Carlisle sat at the head with Esme at his right side. I was next in the pecking order with Rose across from me. Emmett was next to her. At the other end was Alice and Jasper. Since they where the newest members of the family they more or less went along with the flow.
"Well Rose has made it very clear that she wants to not be a high school student again. If this happens we will have to find some other situation for all of us. So maybe college students? We can live close while you all still have your own freedom. We might be able to stretch that for a few years, say five or six, with out people noticing. How does that sound?"
I saw Rose mulling it over in her heard. She was going to take the offer. She liked the idea of us being together while she was able to be an adult. She was not thinking about what to major in this time around.
"Edward is this going to work?" I heard my father mentally say.
I nodded with out looking at him. I could hear Esme mentally cheering. She did not want to be separated for too long from us. When I had left her and Carlisle years ago she was a mess. I promised that I would never do that again. So instead I would suffer by myself with out saying another word.
As much as I loved my family I hated being with them. Being around so much love was often sicking to me. I could not imagine what it must be like for Jasper to sit there and feel everyone's feelings, especially when it came to Rose and Emmett.
"Fine. I want to be in my own place though."
"That is a good idea. How about all of you children get your own places by the college."
"Where are we going?" Alice asked sounding excited now that she knew this was going to work.
"VEGAS!" Emmett shouted. He was smiling proudly, he thought he had a really good idea, poor guy.
Everyone turned to look at him. He did not think very much.
"What do you know how much fun that would be?" he challenged us.
"Do you also know how much sun there is?" Rose asked her husband.
It finally clicked in his head on why everyone was not willing to go to Las Vegas. I do not think the people of the area would like to see a bunch of sparkling people walking down the strip, even for Vegas that is pretty weird.
"Well we could go to Washington. I heard it does nothing but rain in Seattle," Jasper threw in. "That way we could be out day and night."
God I was tiered of night. I would love to be out during sun light hours. I always loved to be out in the day. Night is so dark and depressing. I do not need to be any more depressed then I am now. I am glad my family members can not read my mind.
"OK how about the University of Seattle, anyone opposed?" Carlisle asked all of us. No one reacted. "OK we are off to Washington then."
-------------------------------------Two Weeks Later-------------------------------------------------
Well I guess Alice should have seen that the Denali sisters would not stay. Once we told them our plan that where excited to join up with us. They thought it would be fun to go to college. They had not been in school since 1970. They figured it was time to go back and see what else has changed.
We found an apartment complex that had four open apartments. Carlisle found a job at the local hospital in one of the smaller towns. Carlisle and Esme where moving into their old house that we where in years ago. It would take us less then an hour to see each other. Esme was OK with that as long as we promised to see her every week. She was going to go to work at an interior decorating agency.
We where bringing in all kinds of stuff that we did not need in the apartments but knew that we needed to pretend to need. It was things like tables and food for the fridge, stuff vampires really do not need. Alice was buzzing; she was excited to meet new people. She was also excited to decorate everyone's rooms.
I was just glad to not be in high school. I was thinking about trying to find a new subject to find. Maybe criminal justice. This was a new area of study. I had studied just about anything else in school. I was signed up for a lot of the normal classes you take your first year of college. I heard Alice's music turned up really loud. Some loud screaming women singing. I felt bad for poor Jasper.
That was when I smelled something wonderful. I looked around in my boxes. There was nothing that would make that scent. I quick stuck my head out the door and saw her. Well the back of her. She had long deep brown hair cascading down her back. She smelled so good. I wanted to run down the hall and take her there. I had never smelled blood that smelled that wonderful. She got to her door and looked down the hall at me.
Her face was wonderful. It was heart shaped with full lips. She had deep brown eyes that looked like chocolate. I stood there and stared at her. I wanted to do something to not make myself look so weird. She smiled and blushed then went into her apartment. She was four doors down, at the end. This was going to be hard. My mouth was watering with venom. I want to run down the hall, knock down her door, and sink my teeth into her.
Tanya stepped out of her apartment and came to see me. "We are going to have a wonderful time here Edward. Maybe the warmer climate will warm your heart up to me."
I knew this was going to be a bad thing. Tanya could not seem to take a hint. I had no sexual feelings for her but she did not seem to care. I even explained to her that Alice did not see us together in the future even when I willed myself to think I liked her. She did not care.
"Tanya I am sorry, but I do not think that is going to happen."
"We will see Edward. Are you ready for the party tonight?"
"Do you think it is a good idea for us to get close to all these humans?"
"You know how my sisters and I are. We love human men, especially such young ones. Plus Alice is not going to let you skip out on this. She is very excited to be a college student. She is going to get the full experience, again."
I sighed knowing she was right. I went into my place trying to have it all set up before it was time for this party. Then I heard Alice in my head again, "Did you see her? I told you when I got that vision of the girl she was going to be important. She is here, I saw her. She is really pretty too. You should talk to her at the party. She is going to mean a lot to you, to all of us. I am going to introduce myself."
I hated my sister and her visions. She thought that they where so definite and final. What she always seems to forget is that over 50% of them have changed? So when she saw this girl in her vision she thought that she was going to be the missing link in our family. At first it was just her face. Then it was her and Alice talking. Then there was one of my holding the girl's lifeless body. Lastly there was one of my biting into her neck. That is when I told Alice to stop showing me these things. I was not going to be the monster that I had been fighting for years. This girl was not going to kill everything that I had worked at for so long, no matter how mouth watering she smelled.
There was a knock at my door. I knew who it was. I could hear him on the other side. It was my biggest brother, Emmett. He was such a nice mind to listen to. There was no deep thoughts in there, just nice and simple Emmett. I opened the door and saw his grin.
"What is that shit eatin' grin for?"
"Nothing. I saw your girl; she smells good and looked hot!"
"Get in here," I said tugging his shirt. "What are you talking about my girl?"
"Alice told us all about her vision. I think this is one that is going to be changing."
"How did all of you see her there was none in the hallway but us?"
"Oh our doors where open. When she walked by we all smelled her and took a quick glance. You where the only one that she saw looking at her. I would totally hit that if I were you."
"Emmett, I am not going to hit anything. Where do you get all of these weird terms?"
"MTV. Listen if I have to pretend to be a jock I am going to do it wonderfully."
"Whatever. Is Rose happy?"
"Yes, she is so excited to be on her own, in a way. I just think the whole high school thing every year bothers the shit out of her. Here she can kind of he be herself, we all can."
"Yeah I know what you mean. So what are you wearing to this party?"
"Jeans and a t-shirt."
I nodded. Emmett was walking to the door to go and get ready. It was now almost 8 and that's when the party started. I was going to have to put on a good front for Alice.

I was in my bedroom trying to find the perfect outfit for tonight. I did not see the guy looking at me until I was about to go into my place. He was beautiful, stunning. He was pale, paler then me, he has beautiful golden eyes that looked like they where looking deep into my soul. His hair was wonderful. I loved the color, bronze, plus it was a little long and messy.
I found a cute and small blue tank that I would wear to the party, along with a short black skirt. Today was going to be the death of responsible Bella and the birth of college Bella, someone who was willing to party and have fun. Angela has the right outlook on college life. I mean one of the many reasons why I ended it with Jake was to fully experience college.
I went to the bathroom to start to do my make up. Tonight was going to be a lot of fun; I was going to make sure of it. I slowly applied the make-up and did my hair. When I was done I stepped out and looked at Angela. She looked at me and her jaw dropped.
"You look HOT Bella," she told me and took my hand to head to the party. I smiled and was excited to see what the rest of the night held for us.
