A/N: Hey everyone! I'm new at this so I hope you can help me through (: I would love to know what you think about the story so let me know by reviewing!

Chapter 1: Welcome to my life.

I really wish we never had to be at this situation, I wish my father was responsible and normal, have a decent job, be a good husband, ask their children "how was school today?" and eat dinner all together at night, just a normal family. Don't get me wrong, he wasn't bad or anything, he never hit us or said neither bad things to us nor my mother but I'm not asking much am I?

Reality is I don't even know where he is right now; I haven't talked to him since two years now. Wonder why? Simple. He is a schizophrenic, diabetic and a drug addict. Well, I guess it's not that simple. Two years ago, Charlie was sent to a special clinic where they treat mental disorders and other stuff, one day, my mom and I were going to visit him so we called to check out the time settings, anyway they told us he was already released and that he wasn't there anymore. Next thing we know is his parents had taken him and locked up somewhere we were not supposed to know. We sill don't.

Renée, my wonderful loving special mother, is 37 years old. Since she was 5 she had worked so hard so she could get out of high school and into college so she could be prepared for the future. "You have to study hard, so when you grow up you don't have to depend on anybody but yourself" she said when I was about 10. She now works 24/7 so she can sustain and maintain our small family; she has two jobs and still manages to go to my brothers acting shows. Yeah, she's amazing.

It wasn't always like that though. She used to be free, careless, and immature; she always said "You gotta live like there's no tomorrow!" and run under the sunshine. She tried all this crazy drama/dancing classes, go bungee jumping and sky diving. She was a "15 year old soul" she used to say. Well… not anymore.

At the same time they took my father away, they took our privileges; no more internet, no more free money to waste, no more allowance, no more unlimited phone plans, no more games for Matty, bye-bye car hello monster red old truck and no more payed rent, we literally didn't have a place to lay dead.

So we had to move from Florida, my sunny special place, to my birth town, my new personal hell hole in the Olympic Peninsula of northwest Washington State, a small town named Forks.

Matty just don't gets it, he does know things have changed but he still think he's going to get a new cool x box for Christmas and that daddy is going to come anytime soon. Not. He's only 11 though; we can't just pop his bubble even though mine was popped at age 7, but I wouldn't stand seeing him suffer and he seems pretty happy here.

Me? I'm a seventeen year old, I gotta go to school, have two part time jobs —one at a guy named Mike Newton store, and one at fork's small coffee shop— and try to hold a family together. It sucks sometimes, but we gotta do what we gotta do. Right?

I wouldn't change Renée and Matty for anything in this world, but sometimes I wish there would be an angel watching over us, helping us through, making life easier.

Oh! By the way, my name is Isabella Marie Swan. Welcome to my life!
