Chapter 1 - Introduction

~~**~~

Edward looked out the back window of the car as his family moved from the only place he ever really known. Waving goodbye to his best friend James he sunk into his seat and sighed. Edward had never been to Washington and now he was moving there. His father got a job in some hospital and he couldn't move there his self. Edward plugged in his ipod and started searching for the song that best fit his mood. He couldn't find anything right off so he hit the shuffle button and played the fifty some songs. Edward put in the ear plugs and settled in for a six hour drive.

Edward pulled out his phone and texted James. Telling him how much he missed him and how weird it would be starting a new school in the middle of the year, Edward had been at the same school for the last two and a half years and there was nothing he wouldn't give to go back and graduate there. Everyone would think he was a freak because of how he dresses. Lets not forget the fact that he doesn't like girls either. But only James knew that about him. If his parents knew things would never be the same again.

Edward kept hitting the button to change the songs on his ipod in hopes he could find something he had not heard or made him think about James. A tear rolled down his cheek when he looked out the window and found the sign read "WELCOME TO FORKS" He shook his head and closed his eyes they were there. But Edward couldn't close his eyes without thinking about back home where he should be. Until he heard his mother from the front of the car whisper how it would take time getting use to this little town.

Edward looked out the window and found other kids playing in the streets and running around. He never gave much thought as to staying here very long. Only a year and a half and he was off to college and would never have to see this place again. Edward watched as his father drove into a long drive way. Looking at the house on the left Edward gasped.

"Is this our house?" He was excited to see how it over looked to woods close to it.

"No Edward this is not our house. Ours is back a little farther." His father pointed to a house that looked similar to the first one. "This is our house."

Edward's face was glued almost to the glass of the backseat window. Excited to see that there was actually a quiet place he could run to and think or just be alone at. Edward sighed and opened the door to leave the car.

He watched as his parents walked into the house together hand in hand like any other time they entered a place. His parents loved each other so much so that it seemed that their was not enough love for him. Maybe this is why he is the way he is. Maybe this is why he is gay. Edward shook his head and walked into the house to look around.

The main door lead into a hall way that branched off into other rooms. Walking up the first set of steps he found his room. "Thank god my things are here." He whispered as he jumped back onto his bed. Edward sat up quickly at the sound of laughter coming from outside his window. Wondering who it could be he walked over and looked out.

There stood a young man about his age playing with a girl who looked to be a little younger. "Great I have to deal with this mushy crap from them too?" Edward turned around and walked out of his room to escape the laughter. But it only followed him. So much so that it was now at his front door. "Hunny get the door, don't just stand there." His mother called from the kitchen.

Edward sighed and opened the door. There stood a very petite girl and a young man who stood about an inch or two taller than Edward. The girl was dressed in a pain of jeans and a flower top while the boy was in jeans and a red polo shirt. Edward couldn't help but to look at him as his green eyes looked back at him. "Edward! Don't just stand there invite them in."

Edward stepped out of the way and so that they could come in. "Hello, I'm Jasper. And this is my sister Alice." Edward smiled and nodded. "I'm Edward. Its nice to meet you both. Please make your self at home." Edward ran out of the room and to his bedroom. Taking out his cell phone to text James.

"Omg! There is this really cute boy sitting in my living room right now. I think I am going to love living here. I miss you. Text back."

Edward walked back into the living room and smiled as he helped his mother who was serving the guest drinks. "Is there anything fun to do around here?" Edward laughed as he looked over at his mother who was not talking with Jasper and Alice's parents. Edward never waited for an answer as he stood up and ran out of the house pulling Jasper and Alice with him.

Edward looked at the two of them and shook his head. "Were adopted." Alice spoke in a soft tone. She could read the expression on Edward's face. "Oh well that's cool I guess. I'm an only child." He started walking around in circles from the boredom until he became dizzy enough to fall on his ass.

"So Jasper what grade are you in?" Edward wanted to ask him as many questions as he could before he became shy again.

"I'm a Junior this year." He replied as he sat next to Edward on the gravel. "Alice is a Sophomore." Edward took out his phone from his pocket to read the text he received from James.

"Great! Just great you haven't been there a full day and your already finding someone new. Edward please do me a favor and not text me again."

"Grrrr." Edward closed his phone with as much force as he could but not enough to break it. He knew James would be upset but it wasn't like he as dating Jasper. Yet.
