Stand in the Rain Chapter 1: Reunited, a twilight fanfic

Hello again. Sorry that's its taken so long to update my other story "Ballet scene remix", but I am running out of ideas and last night this story just came to me so I decided to make it and see how well it turns out (P.S. All human story). Summary: Before the Cullens moved to town, Bella had a boyfriend named Justin. He was her whole life, her whole soul, and half of her heart. She would do anything for him. But his parents have other plans. His parents don't think she is good enough for him, that she is just a gold digger. When Justin says this to Bella, she promises him that she is not, that she loves him. So when her birthday comes, he tells her to meet him at a meadow that he found after school around 6. So she does, but he says that he is moving. Before he leaves he tells her that he will try to visit as much as possible. Read on to find what happens… This story was based off the song called ANGEL by Natasha Bedingfield, if you've never heard it, listen to it while you read this story…

Bella's POV

Beep. Beep. Beep.

I groaned. And then I groaned some more when I couldn't find it. Finally, my hand settled on my alarm clock. But it also settled on someone else's hand. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh- but got cut off when someone's hand found my mouth.

"Shhhh," wait a second…. I recognized that voice. His hand left my mouth. "Justin!!! I missed you sooo much!" He had gone for the summer and said he wouldn't have been back 3 weeks after school started. Yet, here he was. "You are early." I said, smiling and playing with his fingers. "I told my parents that I couldn't stand being away from you on this very special occasion." I scrunched up my face. "What's so special about today?"

For a very small moment he got up and went to his bag. He came back with a small box. "Happy Birthday." He said with a huge smile. Then he opened the box. I gasped. "It's beautiful…" I was to the point of tears. And then, he kissed me. "My Angel." And then he backed away and motioned for me to come. He took out a small CD and put it in my cd player. My favorite song Angel by Natasha Bedingfield came on and we started slow dancing. My boyfriend from before had nearly let his friends make out with me and did nothing else. He later dumped me for some other girl.

He started singing along…

I was crying now. He had always been an amazing singer and would always sing me to sleep after Jack left. I winced from the memory. He seemed to know what I was thinking and held me closer, (if that was even possible). "Thank you." I whispered. "Close your eyes…" I did and I felt something go around my neck. I opened my eyes when he said to. I looked down, and there was a locket, the one from the box. I opened it; there was a picture in it.

It was us from our meadow. That was my most favorite picture ever. And then on the other side of the locket was a note carved into it "Forever and Ever Babe". I looked up at him with tears pooling into my eyes again. I hugged him so hard and whispered "I love you!" Then I looked at the clock. "Shoot." I whispered. It was eight forty eight. We were going to be late. "One moment." I hated having to pull away from his arms. "I'll be waiting." He said with a smile.

As quickly as possible, I grabbed some clothes, went into the washroom, took a shower that lasted about 5 minutes (sadly), brushed my teeth, ran out and grabbed him, ran downstairs, stuffed my breakfast into my bag (a box of pop tarts) and ran into the passengers side of Justin's convertible. I had always wondered why he had a convertible, he said so all the men that saw me with him would be jealous. I always laughed at that.

We pulled into the school just as the bell rang. School passed in a blur. Justin had every class with me. It was amazing what boys could do these days. After school ended, Justin drove me home and told me to meet him at the meadow at 6. He had something very important to tell me. He also said to bring my camera. That confused me.

I walked inside after a 30 second kiss. "Hey dad!" "Hey Bells. How was school?" "Same as always!" I replied. "Hey dad, what do you want for supper?" "Why so early?" he asked. "Because, Justin wants me to meet him at our meadow at 6. Is that okay?" "Yah, that sounds fine. Oh…" He came into the Kitchen and gave me a hug. "Happy Birthday! I can't believe it. My baby girl is already 17." He shook his head at me and smiled. "And about the supper offer, it's your birthday; we can order pizza and invite some friends over. How's that sound?" "That sounds great! I'll be right back." Then I went to find the phone and call some friends.

In the end, I had ended up calling Jessica, Angela, Mike (shudder, but Jessica was coming so he had to come…), Josh (He was one of my greatest guy friend, he was funny, talented, cute, if I didn't know Justin, I would have liked him), Ben, Justin (of course!!), and Alice Cullen (She was one of my greatest friends ever, her family and mine were friends for a long time, but I only really knew her, she was supportive, a shopaholic, funny, pretty, cute, talented, and was really good with the guys!).

My dad and I had to run to the store to buy a cake, decorations, and other stuff that you use when you're having a mini birthday party. When we got home it was 4 so we had till 4 30 to get ready and we were ready by 4 25. The guests were arriving and even though I told them not to bring gifts, they all did. First to arrive was well… Alice of course, followed by Justin, then Jessica and Mike, Angela and Ben, and Josh. Justin whispered to me, "How about I drive you to our meadow after this and then we can talk?" "Sounds good." I said. "Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday!!!! Happy Birthday Bella!!!" squealed Alice. "You turned 17!! Congratulations!!!" I laughed. Alice could always make me happy when I was sad, Happy, or even angry. It was amazing what she could do to me!!

"You know what we should do?" Mike stated. "No, I don't. What is it?" I said. "Skating!!! It could be so much fun!" Beside me, I felt Justin stiffen. I did to. The room suddenly seemed quiet. "I don't think-"Mike cut me off. "You don't think that it's a bad idea, that's what you were going to wasn't it?" "Mike-" he cut me off again. I inwardly groaned. Why had I invited him again? I asked myself that over and over as everyone piled into Justin's car and we went to get their skates. I couldn't believe that my dad had even let me go with what had happened last time I was "skating" with him.

Flashback

(A/N – This is when Bella is dating Jack and with a bunch of his friends playing Truth or Dare at a small pond on her last birthday. Pretend that in September there is snow and ice is sort of frozen.)

It was cold. It was also my birthday. I was with Jack and his friends and we had just left the bar. Let me rephrase that, they were the ones drinking. I said no to a drink no matter how many times offered. They all decided that we go down to the small pond (That was very deep though!) in the middle of the forest and play a game of Truth or Dare. I asked Jack if he could take me home, "No Way! This is your b-day, and you're gonna enjoy it whether you like it or not!" I agreed quietly.

My dad had never liked him, and he had never bothered to hide it when ever Jack came over. Now, I don't even know why I liked him. I knew that my friends were disappointed in me because they knew he wasn't good for me, but unlike my father, they tried to be nice.

When we arrived at the pond, it looked bigger and scarier than I had imagined. Jack grabbed a blanket. We walked over and sat down on the snow. Jack wrapped the blanket around him self and acted like I wasn't even there. "John." Said Damon. "I dare you to…" his eyes locked with mine. I am sure mine looked terrified. "I dare you to… kiss Bella on the lips for as long as possible!" He slurred and smiled at me evilly. "Way to go Izabal! Your first kiss with a man none other than me!!!" I stared at Jack terrified. I thought that he would have tried to stop this. But he was probably to drunk to even realize what was happening.

"Get ready for the best kiss of your life!!" slurred John. Then he grabbed me by the collar of my shirt and started to kiss me as hard as possible. I squirmed and squirmed trying to get away, but he just held me closer and tighter, squishing me against the ice and snow and him self. I could feel bruises forming. I started to feel lightheaded. I needed air and I knew that John wasn't going to let me go for a while. I could feel his hands start to move towards my behind and started to get scared.

"Too many clothes on you, babe!" and he started to take off my jacket. I was now wearing a t-shirt with jeans. Then, for some reason, he stopped. Gasping for air, I grabbed my jacket and started running. I tripped and then John caught up with me. He grabbed my hands and started to bring me towards the pond. "Let's go skate!!"

"N-n-no. The ice is t-t-to th-thin! I-It will crack and b-break!" I sobbed. "I j-just want to g-go home!" I cried. "Suck it up!" And with that he threw me on to the lake, but stayed off and listened while the ice cracked. I screamed. Then the ice broke and I fell through. It was so cold; it felt like a billion knives stabbing into my heart all at once. Through my cries of pain I could hear Jack and his friends leaving.

I stuck my hands onto the ice in hopes that they would stick and stay there until help came. "Luck" must have been with me that day. Because I could here someone calling 911 since my cries of terror and pain had slowed down to whimpers. 5 minutes later, I could hear police sirens and an ambulance coming. But by then, I was too weak to even keep my head up. *crack* that was when the unthinkable happened.

The ice that was around my arms broke, and I started sinking to the bottom. Before I hit the ground, I could hear a splash from above and then there were arms pulling my up. How they got the both of us out of there, I have no clue, how that man saved me, I also have no clue. But that was also the day that I fell in love, the day my ex got arrested, and his friends for going over the drinking limit and John for harassing me.

"What'… your name?" I whispered slowly, once we were in the ambulance. I took in his appearance. He looked to be around my age, blonde hair, emerald eyes, cute face, crooked smile, and a six pack. (I only knew that because his shirt was wet). Other than his purple and blue colored skin from jumping in the water to save me, he was really cute. "Justin." He said. "My name is Justin." "Bella," I whispered. "My name is Bella…" And the last thing I thought before I faded into the darkness was how cute that name Justin was…

Back to the Present

I could feel the tears starting to come down. Alice saw me through the rearview mirror and sat down in the middle between Justin and I. Her and Justin were the only ones who knew what had happened to me. And Carlisle because he was the doctor who worked on me and Charlie because he was the one who came in the police car and if it wasn't for some other officers, I am sure that he would have killed Jack right then and there.

She started to comfort me. "Forget about him. He was a waste of time and space. He had no right to do that to you." I forced a smile but she saw through it. "Come on. This is your birthday." Just then, Alice's cell rang. Her eyes bulged when she saw who it was. "Charlie…" She gasped. "Oh no… really, then maybe we shouldn't go…. That's right; I wouldn't want that to happen either… I will… promise… okay, thank you, goodnight… yes you too… I'll tell her… okay, goodnight." She hung up. And then it was her turn to put on a fake smile. "Everything's good!" She said with a fake enthusiasm.

I sighed and then decided to ignore her stares. I tried to ignore what she was whispering to Justin, but couldn't. "I don't think that we should go to the rink." He stared at her, confused. "Today… its prison break, and that's were they wanted to go for a "vacation"…" she trailed off and Justin nearly swerved the car. I could see his knuckles going white. I put my hand on them to tell them two things, one, I was eavesdropping, and two, to calm Justin down.

"Its okay… it will be fun. Anyways, like you said Alice, he's not going to ruin my fun on my birthday, It's my life!" Alice looked at me funny. "I'm over it."

10 minutes later once they've picked up everyone's skates…

So far, I had fallen down in a total of 25 times within 15 minutes. "My new record." I mumbled under my breath. Justin heard it though and laughed. It was the feeling of someone watching me that made me turn around. I gasped, startled, and nearly went unconscious. Justin turned around and picked me up gently and we started skating to get everyone else. Unfortunately, Jessica, as retarded as she was had always had a thing for him and was over there right now flirting with him.

As we skated slowly up behind her, I saw his gaze move to mine, and give me an evil smile. He started walking towards us, avoiding Jessica's gaze. "I thought that the last time we were together, you never wanted to go skating, so why are you skating with a retarded person, who obviously needs help since you guys are together, but yet, you wouldn't skate with me?" He said slowly, but menacingly. "I'm not the one who needs help; I think we all know who the one who needs help here is…" He trailed off and then looked at me again. I knew that look but I was too late to move. He grabbed me by the arm and punched me, then, he kicked me with his skate which probably left me with an inch deep cut, and then walked away to his friends.

I was crying, and in pain. Justin started screaming for help and then all eyes were on us. I was lying on the floor getting lightheaded and had a pool of blood all around me. For some reason, I knew that I wasn't going to die. This just reminded me of what he did last time, but before, it was worse.

I could feel a couple people picking me up and moving me onto something less cold and painful. I tried to open my eyes, but they felt like they weighed a thousand pounds. I could hear Alice having a "heart attack" and cursing herself for stopping us from coming here. I tried to concentrate on what she was saying.

"I knew that we shouldn't have come here. I just had this feeling. It's the same feeling that I had when Bella was in trouble at the pond. Maybe this means something. What if I have a power? No, that would be silly. Magic doesn't exist. I also wonder what this feeling is. It's like something is trying to warn me of something that will hurt someone else…"

I couldn't concentrate any longer. Beside me I could feel Justin's hand in mine. I could also hear him telling me to sleep and that everything would be okay. The last thing I thought about before I drifted off to the land of dreams was, "What if Alice can see the future, what if the future is trying to warn her about something…" And then I drifted off.

Hope you liked it. I probably won't be able to make anymore chapters nearly this long. But I would honestly have kept going but I don't have very much time left. I also made this long and not long but really long because I really want some reviews, also looking for a beta. Please PM me A.S.A.P. because I need one soon and please review. (Also, please no flames… Thanks! )
