Disclaimer- I don't own Twilight or New Moon or the characters in them. I own this idea though.
I've had this idea set in my head for awhile now and I've finally had time to write it. This was going to be a really long one-shot, but it probably would have sucked so instead it's going to be like 6 chapters or something. I'm not sure if I'm going to finish, it depends on what people think. People might be OOC, but you have to remember that is instead of Twilight. Review and enjoy!
On my first day at Forks High, I met Mike. I remember thinking that he was cute, but not hot. I remember him asking me out and me turning him down, but after a while he grew on me. We had been dating for 5 months before he hit me, but I'm getting ahead of myself. I never loved him, but I couldn't leave him either. My therapist said that it was good to write out my feelings, and that I would get over this. I was just glad that the nightmare was over. She promised me that she would never read this, so I feel comfortable writing everything down. Some of the stuff in here would make her think I was losing it, but I'm not. Everything in here is true. I know everyone wants to know what happened, so here's my story.
……..
My dad, Charlie, picked me up from the airport and gave me an awkward hug.
"I'm glad your home again, Bells." He said gruffly.
"Me too, dad." I said, I wasn't that happy but I didn't want to hurt his feelings. The drive home was quiet, neither one of us talked much. When we pulled up to the house I noticed an old, red truck parked in the driveway. "Whose truck is that?"
"It's yours Bella. You told me you needed a car and I saw this and thought it would be good for you." He said as I inspected the car. It was almost like love at first sight, only it was a car that I liked.
"Wow dad, thank you!" I said giving him a hug.
"Yeah, well…" he said trailing off. We walked into the house and put my bags on the floor.
"I'm gonna go unpack." I said. I headed upstairs to my room. It was exactly the same as it had been when I was a baby. It only took me 30 minutes to unpack. I only had two bags, and there wasn't much in them. I headed back downstairs and found Charlie sitting on the couch, watching some sports game. "What's for dinner?"
"I'm not sure; I'll start cooking in a while." He said.
Dinner was uneventful. Charlie made grilled cheese and soup from a can. I asked Charlie if I could take over dinner responsibilities and he warily agreed. After dinner I went upstairs and took a shower. The bathroom was small and it was the only one. I had never liked sharing a bathroom, so it was going to be awkward for me. When I was done, I went downstairs and said goodnight to Charlie. I went back to my room and crawled into bed. It took me forever to sleep with the constant sound of the rain and wind. That night, I cried myself to sleep.
I woke up the next morning to see that Charlie had already left for work. He left me a note saying that he didn't get off until six and wished me good luck. I quickly got changed and grabbed a granola bar. I drove to the school only getting lost a few times. I pulled into the parking lot and headed into the front office. The lady behind the desk handed me my schedule and wished me luck. I smiled politely and headed to my first class. The rest of the morning passed in a blur.
In English I met a boy named Mike, who seemed nice and a bit annoying. I ended up eating lunch with a girl named Jessica and her friends. The boy named Mike smiled at me and waved us over to his table. I ended up sitting next to him with Jessica on his other side. I found out that he wasn't as annoying as I had thought and we ended up talking the entire lunch period. During that whole time I was aware of someone watching us. I could feel their eyes on my back. I walked with Mike and a girl named Angela, who was shy, to our next class which was Biology. I ended up sitting next a boy with bronze hair, who was unnaturally pale and beautiful. During the entire period he sat as far away from me as he could. Once class ended he flew out the door.
"What did you do to him?" Mike asked me as we walked to Gym.
"Nothing, I didn't say a word. Who was he?"
"That's Edward Cullen, he's a strange guy, and so is his entire family. They keep to themselves." Mike said.
Thankfully I didn't have to do Gym, so I got to watch everyone run around and play games. On my way to my car, I noticed Edward arguing with a petite black haired girl.
"I almost lost control, Alice. I almost bit her." He said in a musical voice.
"You're lucky you didn't, she's the chief's daughter. We'll talk about this later." She said and danced off. Edward turned to glare at me as I hurried along to my car.
The following weeks passed quickly, the same thing happened everyday. I would sit next to Mike and talk during lunch and during Biology Edward would sit at the end of the table. After being in Forks for a month, Mike asked me out.
"Hey Bella, do you, uh, have any plans for Friday?" Mike asked, looking hopeful.
"I'm not sure. Why?" I asked.
"I was wondering if you wanted to go on a, uh, date." He said.
"I'm sorry Mike, but I'm going to be busy." I said, trying to reject him, as nicely as possible. The following week, he asked me again.
"Hey Bella, do you want to go see a movie with me on Friday?" He asked, nervous again.
"Sure. Why not?" I said and smiled. After that, Mike and I were inseparable. I spent all of my free time with him. But one day, things changed.
Hey, girl, you know you drive me crazy
one look puts the rhythm in my hand.
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down.
Ok, so I'm not sure I like this. It's pretty short too. It's up to you guys if I should continue or not. I might just finish it for myself and not post it but I'm not sure. The next chapter is when it gets better and all of the drama starts!
