Chapter 1...(rude awakening)

Bella's POV

I awoke to the sound of a moving truck opening. The cringe as the trunk flap flying up jolted me from my dreamless sleep. I lived in a new complex in New York called Canal Crossing, Or the CC for short, so they were still building. It is said that construction will end, meaning all the houses would be finished and built, by 2012.

I would be a senior in high school by then. Even though school wasn't one of my favs, I was truly excited by the fact that a week from this Wednesday I would be a FRESHMAN! I mean come on who wouldn't be excited about going to freakin high school? it's a place of new beginnings. A fresh start for 9th graders. Hence the name FRESHMAN! Plus what made it better was that I would have my older brother, Emmett, to help me out.

Emmett was going to be a senior. He was the captain of the Varsity Football Team and his girlfriend ,Rosalie Hale, was captain of the Varsity Cheerleading Squad. They are such a stereotypical couple, believe me I know. The Quarterback with the Head Cheerleader. Yet they had been high school sweethearts since their freshman year. You would honestly have to be blind not to see that they completed each other, perfectly I might add.

Because of Rosalie's position on the Varsity Squad she guaranteed me a spot if I could do a cartwheel and a handstand. And whoop-de-doo, check check, I can do both and more. But I still haven't decided if I'm going to try out.

I rose from my bed to look out my window to see Across the street two burly men were unloading boxes out of the back of a U-Haul truck. I quickly assumed those were the movers and that the boxes they were carrying were those of my new neighbors. Woo-Hoo! Congrats to the new home owners for being the ones who bought the foreclosed house off of the previous owners.

I know. I sound a little bitter, but I don't know I guess I'm just tense. A lot has been going on in my life. The effects of not having a mother for three years is really starting to take effect on me. Living with to men can be really awkward when you have a 'growing' sixth grader in the house. I don't think I could think of a time where I felt so awkward.

Flashback

It had been a warm May morning. About five months after my mother had passed. God I don't know how I had come out of my depressive state. Oh yeah, because my father Charlie had explained that I either start to deal or I was going to be shipped to live with my Grandparents, on my moms side, in Forks, Washington. After hearing that it felt like I was jolted back into reality.

So, I had finally worked up the courage to tell Charlie I needed a bra. Not like the kiddie sports bras that my mom had gotten me, but a real one. I got up in the morning and went downstairs to find my dad in his beat-up recliner, watching a basketball game.

It was like that was his way of coping with my mom's death. Watching sports seemed to drown out his sorrows. Emmett had turned to Rose and I had Jacob. He had been there for me throughout the whole thing and I was truly grateful to call him my friend.

I stopped right behind the recliner. Charlie still had his eyes glued to the TV screen. I cleared my throat and began, "Uhmm… Dad?"

"Mornin' Bells" he replied. His eyes never leaving the screen. "What's up?"

"Uhmm…I need something." I stated clearly. I wasn't sure if I should rush into such a delicate subject with Charlie.

"Wutcha need kiddo?"

Oh gosh. I guess there was no easy way to say this. Might as well as stop beating around the bush. Ok Here Goes. "I need a bra dad!" I blurted it out so fast it sounded like mush. But I'm sure he understood the words loud and clear because Emmett, who was gobbling down his cereal at the time, dropped his spoon creating a loud clinking sound which pierced through the awkward silence.

"What do you need?" Charlie asked in a quieter voice.

"Some new bras" I muttered.

"What's wrong with the ones you have now?"

"There too small" I could feel the blood rushing to my pale cheeks. I swear, if it was possible for someone to die of embarrassment I would have right then.

"Oh…uhmm…alright. Well what do you need me to do?" I knew he wasn't trying to be rude by asking that last question. But to me it was kinda obvious.

My voice was just a little higher than a whisper. "Can you bring me to Wal-Mart?"

"Yeah…sure…I'll give you the money and you can go in the store and do your thing…ok?" he was still unsure of himself. I could hear it in his voice. But I was kind of elated that I wouldn't have to have Charlie breathing down my back as I searched for my correct bra size.

"Sure that's fine…I'll go get ready." I spun so quickly out of the room I almost tripped. I just wanted, no scratch that, NEEDED to get out of there.

End Flashback

Oh. But that incident only comes in second place to when I got my first visit from mother nature in summer before eighth grade. I figured out what was happening but I just didn't know what to do. Gosh that was a time when I really wished I had my mother to turn to.

But I didn't. And I had to use what I had. I had Rosalie. Who just so happened to be in my brothers room. EWW. I had knocked on the door to have it opened by a pissed Emmett and a Rosalie, whose top three buttons to her shirt were undone. DOUBLE EWW! After Emmett was sent out of the room Rosalie gave me what I needed from her purse and drove me to the store to get other things I needed. Rosalie had become my supplier for these items, so I never had to talk to Me or Charlie about it. Thank God.

Well back to reality. Along with the stress of not having a mom I had a very persistent boyfriend of 3 years named Jacob. Jacob was a year older than me but had been the one I turned to in my time of need. I had a hard time coping with my moms death and Jake was there to encourage me through the whole thing. But He was really pushing for us to take our relationship to another level. Meaning he wanted to have sex. But I just wasn't ready for that, yet.

I love Jacob, and he has told me countless times before that he loves me. But if you love so one so much, why would you push them to do something they weren't ready for yet?

I knew no facts about this new family. All I had heard was that they were the Cullens. I heard rumors that they had a daughter who was enrolling in my high school, New Moon High as a sophomore. Also the father would be working at the county hospital, New Dawn Medical. Is it only me who thinks that its weird how all these places begin with a 'new' and end with something having to do with the sky. Next thing you know they'll probably come up with some other building named New Sun.

I tore my gaze from the window and decided since I was up and wanted to clear my head that I might as well go for a jog. Plus if there is a possibility that I might do cheerleading that I should start to get in shape. But that wasn't the main reason, I honestly do enjoy running. My super active, energetic mother had gotten me into it when I was little.

I pulled on my blue cami and black shorts that Rose had given to me. I brushed my teeth, pulled my long wavy hair back into a pony tail, leaving my side bangs down, and put on my blue, gray, and white Nike running shoxs. Lastly, I grabbed my I-pod from my dresser and made my way down stairs.

So there you have it Chapter 1 of Canal Crossing and if you review many more chappies will come =]
