The Day It All Changed

SM owns anything Twilight. I just like to play with some people. :-)

Bella was in love with a guy that never gave her the time of day. She meets a new friend and life seems to be going ok. But what will happen when her friend's brother comes by? Will she finally fall for a guy that sees the real her?

Chapter 1

"Isabella! Get up or you are going to be late for school!" I heard my mother slamming things around in the kitchen. We lived in a small town where nothing ever happened. I had become content with having a life with a small group of friends and deciding nothing would be more than this.

That was before I started my senior year of high school. I was graduating in May and was going to a college near home. I was the last of three girls and did not want to hurt my parents. Victoria had stayed home but was always gone with her friends. Rosalie decided she no longer liked living in a small town and moved as far away as she could. I remember the day she moved out. I had never seen my father more disappointed.

James, Victoria's boyfriend, had convinced her that he knew what was best for her. I was having the hardest time getting along with her. I loved her so much and at 17 knew he was all wrong for her. She was just too close to see it. Sometimes you have to let the ones you love go so they can make their own mistakes.

Rosalie was very different from Victoria. She had her head on straight. She knew what she wanted out of life and where she was going. The only curve ball she was thrown was when she met Emmett. He was everything that she was not. He knew all the ways to push her buttons but make her laugh and fall deeper in love with him at the same time. There were no two people that were more made for each other.

My parents. I don't even know where to begin. Carlisle was strong and Esme was sweet. They, like Rosalie and Emmett, were the perfect pair. Carlisle was the strong silent type. He never said much but you never doubted how much he loved you. It was just known.

Esme on the other hand, was a talker. If there was a problem, she was the first one there with a solution. Carlisle would sometimes tell her not to interfer but that just wasn't in her nature. In those moments when she would inore his warning, he would smile to himself knowing her heart was in the right place.

This was my family. They are crazy, loud, sometimes rude, but they were mine.

I finally got up and ready for school. I was determined to make this a memorable year. Nothing too interesting ever happened in this town but I was dying for that to change.

I ran out of the house in a hurry to drive 5 minutes down the block and pick up my best friend, Alice. We have been friends since kindergarden with nothing ever coming between us. It was like she was my other half. When ever I was about to say something, she usually could finish the sentence. She just simply...gets me!

I pulled into her driveway and honked the horn a few times. I knew that she would be a little upset with me for running late but I could fix that with one simple stop before school.

"I love you, but seriously we need to work on your morning skills."

"I know, I know. I'm sorry I am late. I was up late working on my paper for English but got distracted by Facebook. I need help. Maybe I should go to FAA, Facebook-aholics Annonomyus."

Alice just stared at me giving me a knowing look. "You were looking at his page again weren't you?"

I stared out the window trying to ignore her with everything I had. I pulled into Starbucks, but just my luck there was a huge line.

"I will be back in a flash with your coffee, promise." I got out of the car hearing her yell 'chicken' when I closed the door. I knew exactly what she was talking about but did not want to hear it this early in the morning.

I walked in to stand in line, but got a sudden feeling like someone was staring at me. I looked around, nothing was out of the ordinary. Everything was the way it always was. The only difference was there was a silver car sitting in the parking lot that normally was not there. I tried to see inside without being obvious, but the windows were tinted too dark to notice any movement.

I shook it off, thinking that I was just having a weird moment. I ordered, grabbed our coffee and rushed to get back in the car before Alice had a breakdown.

"Chicken", was the first thing I heard when I opened the door. I rolled my eyes, speeding off towards our prison for the next few months.

We were walking into the building when I had the same feeling from the coffee shop. I looked around but again, didn't see anything out of the norm.

"You can't ignore me forever. I will yell it from the rooftops that you are a chicken. I will even tell him about you if you do not acknowledge me right now."

Oh no, Alice was in one of her fits. If I didn't sqwash this now, there would be hell to pay.

"Ok, ok. I am a big fat chicken. I was on Facebook because I am not only a chicken but apparently a stalker too. I was staring at Jacob's picture for a while when I fell asleep. I really need to get some help."

Alice started laughing at me. Sometimes I really hated her.

"Ok, you are not a fat chicken and are deffinatly not a stalker. You are just super head over heals for this guy. I still don't see it, but I am not going to stop you from crushing on him."

Not even five seconds after saying his name was he standing there in front of me smirking. Yes, smirking. He never fully smiled, especially around girls.

"Hey, whats up punk?" Ah yes, his usually greeting for his followers.

"Hey Jake. How are you? Oh, is today the home game?" I only asked to keep him talking. I knew it was a home game today. I never missed a chance to watch him look hot in his uniform, on or off the field.

Yeah, I was sorta in love with him. The only problem was he had a girlfriend along with every other girl dying to be her. We had been friends for a while, but I couldn't stop thinking how I would treat him better than his stupid girlfriend. Not to mention all the dirty things I could do to him...oh wait...he's talking. Focus.

"Yeah, today is home. You are coming right? Ya know I need you around, you are my lucky charm." He winked at me then walked away. I looked after him wishing he could see how evil Leah was and drop her like a hot plate.

"Oh, Bella. He is never going to want you. And pinning after him will not change that. Especially when he is with someone like me."

Ugh, it was HER! I didn't want to turn around but there was no quick escape.

"Hey, Leah. I don't really know what you are talking about. I was just headed to the library with Alice. Sorry, we have to bail. A lot to do before the bell."

I went to walk around her knowing that she was right. I wanted him and it hurt my heart to think that he would never want me that way back. Leah had her claws in him deep and was not going to give up without a fight. I just wasn't sure if he would want me if I fought.

"Do not listen to her. You are better then anything Jacob Black can offer you. We will find you someone better than him. Don't worry."

Alice was my rock. I just nodded and grabbed her arm heading to m locker. As we started talking about what to do tonight after the game, I ran into what seemed to be a wall.

What the hell, now?

Thanks for reading. Please leave a review and tell me what you think! I am looking to update as quickly as I can. I can't wait to shake up Bella's quiet life.
